Nixon has planned tentatively to visit European capitals on rds-making mission late this summer. There is a likelihood his schedule would include some Iron Cur- i countries, but not the Soviet Union.

The rioters, said to number about 900, were stirred up by op- ponents of Lebanon's pro-Western government. They turned stolen rifles on security forces when authorities rushed special units into the cen- tral district of the city to quell the disturbances. Battle Lasts Hour Rioters and troops exchanged shots for an hour in a sharp street battle. The number of persons killed was-not announced officially. Re- liable sources put the toll at four dead and 30 wounded. Other informants said more than a score of persons died and 100 were wounded, but there was no. confirmation of that report. Beirut Sends. Aid ' Ambulances were sent to the scene from as far away as Beirut, 60 miles to the south. American sources said Saturday night from seven to 15 persons were killed and more than a score were wounded. No Americans were hurt. There' are only a few American women' teachers in Tripoli and the United States embassy said they were all safe. Protest Lodged United States Ambassador Rob- ert McClintock made a strong pro- test to the Lebanese government over the burning, of the library. An embassy statement said Lebanon assured the ambassador, that American property would be protected. A United States Embassy offi- cial in Beirut said there was only one person, a Lebanese janitor, in the library at the time of the trouble and he was not hurt. Pfi' ml Given Bid To Form New Cabinet Nixon were greeted with the kind of Yankee-Go-Home displays the Communists are said to be able to organize in some Western Euro- peans countries. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), a Senate Foreign Relations com- mitteeman who denounced Nix- on's treatment in Latin America, said it appears to him only Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower can decide this issue. "I have 'no doubt the Commu- nists could organize hostile dem- onstrations in several countries," Viva Nixon QUITO, E0cuador (W) - Vice President Nixon rode through the streets of Quito yesterday and men took off their hats and, bowed. Later, 10,000 persons cheered "Viva Nixon" as he kicked off the first ball for a soccer game. Sen. Mansfield said. "The Presi- dent, will have to, take this into account in deciding whether Nixon should undertake the trip." Congress Said Resentful Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt.), also a Foreign Relations commit- teeman, said in a separate, inter- view he thinks resentment in Con- gress toward the treatment givenj Nixon is likely to be reflected in consideration of the foreign aid and reciprocal trade bills. Income Tax AW See-ks A rbitration Of Dis DETROIT ()-Walter P. Reu- ther proposed yesterday that eco- nomic' demands of his United Auto Workers, including profit-sharing, 'be submitted to binding, impartial arbitration. "It would be agreed," the UAW president said, "that the total amount to be awarded ... would not require a price increase" by the auto companies. Reuther, apparently stymied by the recession and a tremendous backlog of unsold cars in his 1958 contract bargaining, made his sec- ond peace offer within 11 days in a letter to Sen. Estes Kefauver (D Tenn). A copy went to the Big Three: General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. General Motors, biggest of the auto makers, quickly rejected the proposal which it termed "another one of Mr. Reuther's publicity maneuvers." The auto companies all have rejected profit sharing and have stood pat on an offer to extend for two more years the Icurrent three-year contracts. These carry automatic hourly raises of six cents annually and tie wages to ups and downs of the cost of living. GM rejected a UAW offer to ar- bitrate in 1945.1 Reuther proposed a five-man panel of arbitrators. The Union would name two, the company two, and together they would select a fifth. A separate panel would be named for each company. WALTER REUTHER ... suggests legislation WASHINGTON (-) - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev will be able to buy much machinery in the West to boost Russian con- sumet goods output, if he really wants it, diplomatic officials said yesterday. But if he is seeking to break down Western barriers against the sale of machines of military importance, he is in for a fight. Khrushchev very likely is quite serious about increasing the sup- ply of consumer goods, these authorities said Warn of Danger Yet the assumption here is that this is only one of his objectives and that a new Soviet offensive to wreck the whole Western trade control system now must be ex-, pected. This threatens to raise an is- sue which almost invariably causes some dissension among the Western allies. Britain particularly is anxious. for maximum trade opportunities, with the Soviet Union, and the United States is trying to main- tain the barriers on East-West commerce at the highest possible levels of security. May Use as Lever Khrushchev, in the light of this history, may use whatever orders he intends to, place in the con- sumer goods field as instruments for dividing the West. His prospects for progress would be better, however, in the view of State Department officials, if his policies on two other issues -- a summit conference and relations with Yugoslavia - were changed. These officials feel that the So- viet attitude on these questions is now so tough and hostile that it contradicts Khrushchev's argu- ments for "mutually advantage- ,ous" trade. This attitude is associated in the studies of officials here with a meeting in Moscow last week of the Central Committee of the So- viet Communist party. RESEARCH ON FRANKLIN: Prof. Crane To Retire, Write Book By THOMAS TURNER Prof. Verner Crane of the his- tory department, who first taught1 at the Uniyersity 42 years ago, is retiring this Spring. "I expect'to go on very much as I have," he said, "except for meet- ing classes." Prof. Crane is currently doing research on Benjamin Franklin's stay in England as a colonial agent, he said, and plans to write a book on the subject. Project Interrupted "I've been planning to write that bookever since I became in- terested in Frankclin," he said with a smile," but I've been inter- rupted," As an undergraduate 4here at the University, Prof. Crane said, his interests were in architecture. But he came to realize these in- terests were "more historical than creative," Prof. Crane said. At the time he was here the University history department al- ready had a good reputation ac- cording to Prof. Crane. Working on his master's degree at Harvard University, Prof.- PROF. VERNER CRANE . .'. retiring historian Cut Opposed HOT SPRINGS, Va. (P)--Secre- tary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks said yesterday his business-advis- ers are opposed about 3-1 to tax reduction as a quick antidote to the recession. Weeks also said a majority of the 100 major corporation heads serving on his Business Advisory Council favors the administration program for a five-year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agree- ments Act. He predicted enactment of a satisfactory extension law despite strong opposition which has de- veloped in Congress. The commerce secretary said he made a personal, informal sam- pling of the BAC members con- ferring with him here. He did so after sharp disagreement on the tax issue developed in Friday's closed session of the council. Harlowe Curtice, president of General Motors, was understood to have been among those who spoke in favor of tax reduction. PARIS OP) - Pierre Pflimlin told President Rene Coty yester- day he would make a try at form- ing a new French government. The leader of the Catholic Pop- ular Republican Movement' (MRP) called on Coty at Elysee Palace to give him his acceptance. He was expected to whip his cabinet selections into shape over the weekend and go before the National Assembly Tuesday to seek approval as premier. Partisans of a stronger policy in Algeria threatened to complicate his efforts. The National Council of the Social Republicans said they would not accept any offer of participation in a Pflimlin cab- inet. The former Gaullist group has only about a score of Assembly' seats, but one of them is filled by Jacques Soustelle, who played. a leading role in the ouster of France's last government. Pflimlin is expected to propose an Algerian policy much the same as that which brought the down- fall of Felix Gaillard 25 days ago. 'U' Enprineer Season WITH NORTHWESTERN: 'M' Nin'Wn pnr .Drops Second Game, Special to The Daily EVANSTON, Ill. - Sloppy fielding along with lackluster hitting caused Michigan's .baseball team to gain only a split against ninth place Northwestern in yesterday's doubleheader at Evanston. The Wolverines, behind the shaky but adequate pitching of 'Nick Liakonis, won the opener, 7-5. Northwestern, aided by two Michigan errors, came back to take the nightcap, 5-4. Wolverines in Fourth Place The split gave the Wolverines a 5-4 record in Big Ten play, and shoved them into fourth place in the league standings. They trail space-setters Michigan State and Ohio State by one game and third place Minnesota by half a game. 0 ener The Wolverines fumbled away the Isecond and all-important game of the twin bill. It was the game the Wolverines needed to win if they were to gain on the league leaders. SThegame was tied at four apiece going into the bottom of the fifth inning. Russ Schallert opened the inning with a solid single down the right field line, Bunt Fumbled Ken Bindner attempted to sac'- rifice Schallert to second, putting him in scoring position. He bunt- ed in front of the plate, and Michigan catcher Jim Dickey, in a hurried attempt to get Schal- lert at second, fumbled the ball. All hands were safe. This set the stage for the game winning play. Mike Collopy brought across Schallert with the winning run on a perfectly exe- cuted squeeze play. Northwestern started the scor- ing in the third inning of the first game when shortstop Al Kennedy smashed a 350-ft. home run over ;:the left field fence. Poland Trip Open to Two University students who speak Polish are urged to apply for study in Poland next year, according to Roger Seasonwein, '61, associate chairman of Student Government Council's National and Interna- tional Committee.. The program is part of the long- term academic exchange program between the United States Na- tional Student Association and the Polish National Student Organi- zation (ZSP). Information on this exchange program may be obtained from Ruth Callahan, Administrative As- sistant to the Dean of Men, in the Student Activities Building. Two students ,from the United States will be chosen, according to the USNSA, and they will begin their studies in Poland during September 1958. Under the same program, two students from Poland will come to the United States. The University is applying as one of the host institutions, accprding to .Season- wein. School Pay Raise Asked COLUMBUS, Ohio (A>) - The president of the American Federa- tion of Teachers today called on every state in the nation to enact legislation granting all public school teachers a minimum salary' of $6,000 a year. Carl J. Megel of Chicago told the closing session of the' Ohio Federation of Teachers annual convention here the $6,000 mini- mum is needed to halt the flow of qualified teachers into better pay- ing jobs in business and industry. He said the $6,000 figure should apply to teachers who held bach- elor's degrees only. Crane studied under Frederick r Jackson Turner. Turner, exponent of the theory that the frontier had been the most influential force in Ameri- can history and in the shaping of a 'distinctly national character, passed on some of his ideas to Prof. Crane, whose doctoral thesis was on "The Southern Frontier." Returning to the University in 1916 as an instructor, Prof. Crane first taught European history. His interest inFranklin developed, he said, in the period from 1920 to 1930 when he taught at Brown University. Since he became interested in Franklin, Prof. Crane has written three books on him, but the one on his stay in England ,remains unwritten. "Once," he said, "Oscar Hand- lin interrupted me by having me write a biography of Franklin for his 'Library of American Biogra- phy." Prof. C'rane returned to the University in 1930 as a full profes- sor an dsince then he organized History 49 and 50. Delivered Russel Talk An April 30 of this year, Prof. Crane delivered the Henry Rus- sel Lecture, on "Dr. Franklin's Plan for America." Being chosen Russel Lecturer is regarded the University's highest recognition of research and academic ,excellence in a faculty member.. Now that he's, going to retire, Prof. Crane said, he expects to "write and travel." One of the advantages he en- joys as an historian, Prof. Crane pointed out, is that there arekli- braries in Philadelphia, New York, Washington and London 'which can help him in his work.; World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Soviet Pre- mier Nikita Khrushchev sent President Dwight D. Eisenhower a new letter yesterday on Presi- dent Eisenhower's proposal to open' technical studies on disarm- ament control. WASHINGTON-The Air Force showed off its 1,300-mile-an-hour B58 jet bomber yesterday in an Armed Forces Day preview that saw all the services demonstrate their "power for peace."

PARIS - Algerian nationalist l e a d e r s have warned that a French prisoner will be executed each time France guillotines an Algerian rebel. The warning became known yesterday as the Defense Ministry awarded posthumouh military medals to the first three French soldiers the nationalists say they executed. S* * * BUDAPEST, Hungary - Po- land's Wladyslaw Gomulka told a select group of Communists yes- terday Soviet suppression of the Hungarian revolt in 1956 was cor- rect and necessary. "In the concrete circumstances of your country at the time it was an international obligation on the part of the Soviet Union in the in- terests of the Hungarian people, peace and all the Socialist states," the Polish Communist party boss said. * * * WASHINGTON - House lead- ers are ready to accept a modified extension of the reciprocal trade program to save it from wholesale attacks by its critics. While the final shape of the bill still was uncertain, there ap- peared to be no doubt in the minds of its backers that it will fall far short of what President Group Asks State- To Hal Segregaion Student Photograp Application Questio Placement Criticize By BARTON HUTHWAITE Special to The Daily DETROIT-The University charged with practicing dormit segregation in a resolution T leased yesterday by the Michig State Conference of NAAP N tional Association for the Advan ment of Colored People) Branch The NAACP state conferer called upon Governor G.

Campus Chapter Agrees The campus NAACP chap' joined with the state organizati in condemning the University discriminatory practices.
