Still Drops
In January
1,120,000 Added
To Jobless Figure
WASHINGTON VP) - The gov-
ernment reported yesterday that
1,120,000 Americans were added to
the unemployment rolls in Jan-.
uary.
It was the biggest monthly in-
crease since the end of World9
War II.
Total unemployment reached
4,494,000 last month,ntheCom-
merce and Labor Departments re-
ported.,
They said the increase, reflect-
ing a sharp drop in factory em-
ployment, was about twice the
normal seasonal rise in unem-
ployment which occurs, in the
post-holiday slump.
Claims Further Unemployment
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) con-
tended the government's figures
did not give thq real picture of
total unemployment.
Taking into consideration those
whose working hours and pay-
checks have been reduced, the
senator said, you would get the
equivalent of at least another mil-
Slion unemployed.
Sen Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.)
agreed with Douglas.
Senators Hubert H. Humphrey
(D-Minn.), Patrick McNamara
(D-Mich.) and Allen J. Ellender
1 (D-La.) called for a program of
tax cuts, public works and other
steps to strengthen the economy.
More Statistics Released
Some other recession statistics
were released by the government.
Total employment, dropped off'
2,158,000 in January to a level of
62,238,000.
The average work week declined
to 38.7 hours, 90 minutes less than
It was in January, 1957.
Average weekly earnings of fac-
e tory workers dropped by $1.47
from December to January. Last
month's average was $81.27. This
. was $1.14 lower than the same
month of 1957.

WASHINGTON (P) - A two-
billion-dollar program to modern-
ize the physical plant of the postal
service was announced by Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower yester-
day.
The White House described it as
a' move to bolster the national
economy.
"The program," a White House
statement said, "will involve re-
habilitating, enlarging or replac-
ing 2,500 government-owned post
office buildings, replacing or re-
modeling 12,000 leased buildings,
and providing mail-handling
equipment for all postal facilities."
James C. Hagerty, the Presi-
dent's press secretary, was asked
whether the post office moderni-
zatio program could fairly be
called part of the administration's
program to combat Ithe business
recession.
;Hagerty announced the Presi-
dent will issue a statement on the
economic situation today.
Fifth Deputy

The resignation of the fifth
! deputy to leave his post in the past
two months was announced by
Washtenaw County Sheriff Erwin
L. Klager yesterday.
Detective Sgt. Harry B. Hogan,
40 years old, of 5925 Nollar Rd.,

flicts" the sheriff said. Hogan had
served on the staff since Jan. 1,

Cutler Criticizes
Dorm Adjustin
By LANE VANDERSLICE
Prof. Richard Cutler of the psychology department last night re-
jected expediency and "well-rationalized beliefs" as a basis for resi-
dence hall policy.
Prof. Cutler criticized the policy of "adjustment" he said was
practiced in residence halls. He asked instead for a policy that would
expose students to different cultural values and then, if necessary,
adjust them.
Cutler, Student Agree
He said "the residence hall system is part of the total educa-
tional experience" and should have the same goals as other Univer-
_tsitY areas. He and Alan Krebs,

Rocket Test
Flight Sent
Over Ocean
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (P)-A
Redstone ballistic missile - the
workhorse of the American space
weapon arsenal-blasted off its
firing pad yesterday.
The Redstone, first-stage back-
bone of the Jupiter-C rocket which
hurled the first United States
satellite into orbit around the
earth Jan. 31, roared up into a
black, overcast Florida sky at 7:52
p.m. EST.
Its test flight out over the At-
lantic ocean may yield much in--
formation vital to America in her
effort to beat Russia to a solu-
tion of the secrets of outer space.
Announces Immediately
A few minutes after 7 p.m., the
Redstone service gantry was
wheeled away and the missile be-
gan to, shine through the black-
ness of the night like a huge, bul-.
let-shaped icicle.
It had frosted over as liquid
oxygen was pumped into its fuel
tanks at 300 degrees below zero,
The Army' announced minutes
after the firing that it had made
a routine test firing of the Red-
stone.
The missile was in sight only 25
seconds after it blasted off. Then
it vanished into a black cloud
bank.
Predicts Use Soon
Basically, the Redstone is a 200-
mile ballistic missile - a simple,
dependable, long-range artillery
weapon that culd be set up,
aimed and fired by GI Joes in the
field.
It is so far advanced, the Army
claims, that it can be placed in
the hands of troops by, mid-sum-
mer.,
The furious public demand for
an American earth satellite to
match the Russian Sputniks cast
the Redstone in a more exotic role
and made it the free world's most
famous space rocket.
It was thrust into duty as the
first stage of the makeshift Jupi-
ter-C which performed so bril-
liantly in launching the Explorer
satellite now circling the world.

of a University could be expressed
as "fostering constructive con-
flict" and the dormitories were
not integrated as well as' they
could be.
They differed on the solution
to residence hall integration;
Krebs advocated a "first come,
first served" basis for placing en-
tering freshmen. Prof. Cutler fa-
vored allowing students with vio-
lent objections to rooming with
someone of a different race or
nationality to room with someone
of the same race and nationality.
Criticizes Application

question "Are you interested in a
roommate of a different race or
nationality other than your own."
"It's hard to say yes to such a
question," Prof. Cutler said. He
suggested a question similar to
"Would you strongly object to a
roommate of a race or nationality
other than your own."
He said the expedient view, a
view he said administrators "seem
to hold," is that integration cre-
ates more problems than it solves.
A "go-slow" policy is advocated
until students are ready for an-
other step in integration. But due
to this policy, Prof. Cutler said,
students are never ready for the
next step.
Cites Question of Responsibility
He said refusing to integrate
further because parents might oby.
ject would raise the question,
"Who is responsible for the total
educational process of the Uni-
versity?"
Krebs also advocated "exposing
students to more ideas that might
cause them to discuss or think."
He read from a statement of the
aims of the University from the
literary college catalogue. He ex-
plained the resulting laughter as
caused by the difference between
the catalogue description and
what the University actually of-
fers.
AFL-CIO:
Demands
Anti-Bias
Procedures
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. A)) -- The
AFL-CIO yesterday ordered its
unions to include clauses barring
racial discrimination in hiring,
wages or promotions in all labor
contracts.
The directive, aimed at dis-
crimination on race, color or
creed, was one of a number of ac-
tions voted by the AFL-CIO ex-
ecutive Council at final winter
meetings.
The civil rights resolution di-
rected all unions to establish com-
mittees and procedures to insure
"a meaningful civil rights pro-
gram" in the ranks of all affiliated
labor organizations.
Non-Discrimination Clauses Urged
It said all unions should nego-
tiate non-discrimination clauses
in collective bargaining contracts
and see that employers live up to
them.
In other actions, the AFL-CIO
leaders:
1) Deplored the news from
Washington that by latest govern-
ment count unemployment topped
four and one-half million in Jan-
uary.
George Meany, AFL-CIO presi-
dent, said labor was worried over
the economic situation and doubt-
ful of a midyear recovery as an-
ticipated by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
Boycott Ordered
2) Ordered an alleged boycott
by the Sheet Metal Workers Union
against products made by mem-
bers of rival steelworkers and ma-
chinists unions submitted to an
umpire.
3) Chartered a new Laundry
Workers International U n i on,
made up of locals which seceded
from a laundry workers union ex-
pelled from the AFL-CIO two
months ago on corruption charges.
4) Pledged renewed effort to
persuade rival textile workers un-
ions to merge, and to get the feud-
ing Air Line Pilots Assn. and flight
engineers unions also to combine.

U.S. Asked
To Denounce
French Raid
WASHINGTON () -- Secretary;
of State John Foster Dulles re-
ported yesterday that Tunisia has
requested American support in a
move to denounce France before
the United Nations -for bombing a
Tunisian border village last Sat-
urday.
Sec. Dulles said it would be
premature to decide whether to
back any such complaint because
Tunisia was vague about what
the United Nations might do.
He appealed to both sides to
minimize the impact of the bomb-
ing and seek to develop close and
friendly relations of the kind he
believes necessary between North
Africa and Western Europe.
Sec. Dulles talked about the
French-Tunisian crisis at a news
conference where he carefully
sought to steer a middle'-course,
in keeping with past policy.

mittee which has been seeking a candidate since last Jul
Marckwardt, said the 40-year-old lawer would probabl

No opposition is expected to Rep.

Chairman Kenneth McDonald said.
"Rep. Meader is well thought of

Possible opposition to the
Democratic District organization's
choice may come from Ypsilanti .,.:

Shepherd, who last night won a

Assembly endorsement of the

Tunisia says the attack last Sat-

dead, 84 wounded and 10 missing.
France says the raid was in re-

civilians "in this most regrettable

For Talks
WASHINGTON (AP)-The United
States and Russia squared away
yesterday for diplomatic talks
prior to any summit conference.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles boosted things along with
a news conference display of
United States open-mindedness on
the general subject negotiating
with Russians.
For one thing, he said a foreign
ministers' meeting was not a
necessary preliminary to a sum-
mit conference.
And President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower, on the same day U.S.
Ambassador Llewellyn Tommy
Thompson was due back in Mos-
cow, accepted the credentials of
the new Soviet ambassador to
Washington, Mikhail A. Menshi-
kov, and arranged to be his host
at a formal White House dinner
for diplomats.
In presenting his credentials at
the White House, Menshikov ex-
tolled "peaceful coexistence and
cooperation."
He pledged to strengthen U.S.-
Soviet friendship and expressed
hope he would "meet with under-
standing and assistance."
President Eisenhower responded
that he was pleased to hear of
Russia's "sincere friendship" be-
cause the American people have
"only the friendliest feelings" to-
ward the Soviet people.

SHEPHERD SUPPORTED BY 2,172-901 VOTE:
Ypsilanti Supervisor Wins Battle Against Recall
IBy LEWIS COBURN
-...r. V in.; Crr:c' .,Cyrn. nt "~ ~s v '-cv'
Ypsilanti Township Supervisor Franklin J. Shepherd won hIls
battle against a recall move last night by a vote of 2172-901.
Shepherd termed his victory "a complete vindication of the
people's desire to have honest men and men of integrity in public
life."
The recall movement was launched against Shepherd after
charges were made by the township board of trustees that the super-
visor spent "less than 50 per cent of the required hours in his office."
Criticizes Board Member
Shepherd charged the board made its statement as a result of
several conflicts he had with members of the board.
Later, Shepherd, who is a township trustee, charged the other
members of the board were "unfit to serve the people of the town-
ship." He urged that they be recalled.
Proceedings were then instituted .against Shepherd by several
of the trustees who circulated recall petitions against him.
The Washtenaw County Board of Supervisors, on which Shepherd
sits, recently expressed confidence in Shepherd's work.
Supporters of Shepherd's fight to stay in office crowded the Ypsi-
lanti Township Hall last night as election inspectors worked to com-
plete the tally on precinct six - the final precinct to report.

After the election inspectors reported the sixth precinct vote of
