BAGWELL Republican candidate ax System 1ondem ed Bagwell 0/ By BARTON HUTHWAITE Michigan's "hodge - podge" tax structure was vigorously attacked yesterday by Republican guberna- torial nomination candidate Paul -D. Bagwell In a speech before high-ranking Washtenaw county GOP leaders, Bagwell blamed present taxation programs for rapidly declining in- dustrial growth in the state. "Industry is being driven to neighboring states by the Gov- ernor's attitude and policy," he said. Michigan's industrial manu- facturing taxes are eight times' higher than Ohio and six and one- half times higher than Illinois, Bagwell said. Calls for New Plan The 44 year old Michigan State University professor called for a "long-range" program to restore industrial jobs in Michigan and redilce unemployment. "Unemployment wouldn't be twice that of the national average if such a plan were in effect," he said. SComparing union support of political candidates and parties to a "Big Brother" concept, Bagwell said this type of society has no place in the United States. 'Exercise Rights' ,Bagwell called on union mem- bers to "think fora themselves and exercise their fundamental rights as citizens." "The rank and file union mem- ber should not have to pay dues for the support of a party they have chosen to vote against," he said. Condemning government by "Proxy," Bagwell cited Governor William's 205 days spent away from the legislature as evidence of "'moral irresponsibility." Criticizes Governor Michigan ,needs a "full{- time" govenor in these critical times, he said. ?"The govenor is using the legislature as a foil for political purposes," he added. Commenting on the Republican party's chances in the forthcoming elections, Bagwell said the GOP's "dynamic conservatism" is the answer to Michigan's present plight. SBX To Collect Durin Finals Student Book Exchange will col- lect books from students interested in selling them from May 30 to June 10, according to Student Book Exchange Manager Bob Accuse Tunisia But last night tht French said fighting blazed up in a new elash late in the day at a desert pasis near Gafsa airfield. The French accused Tunisia of starting hostilities. Meanwhile in France, Premier Pierre Pfiimlin was saddled with .new crisis while trying to deal with Algerian attempts to force out colonial troops. Pinay Mediates Former Premier Antoine Pinay, a conservative independent, took up a mediation role. Apparently a self-appointed go-between, he drove to General Charles de Gaulle's country home. He and the general talked for an' hour and 45 minutes, presumably about what de Gaulle might be willing to do toward bringing peace in France. Then Pinay drove back to Paris and confeiired -'with Pfiimlin for almost an hour. Pinay told news- men on leaving he had found de Gaulle "extremely open, very affable," and his general impres- sion of their talks was very good. Approve Amendments Pfiimlin's Cabinet approved a series of proposed constitutional amendments intended to strength- en the executive branch and thus take some of the wind out of General Charles de Gaulle's sails. The ministers gave Pflimlin au- thority to make adoption of the amendments an. issue of confi- dence-meaning the government will stand or fall on the outcome in Parliament. They decided to seek a showdown in the National Assembly Tuesday., POSTAGE: Congress Approves Rate aHike WASHINGTON W) - A 37-0 House vote yesterday put it up to President Dwight D. Eisenhower whether to raise postal rates by 550 million dollars a year. 1 The unanimous vote completed congressional action on a bill that, in addition to raising postal rates, would increase postal employes' pay by 380 million dollars a -year. If President Eisenhower signs the bill before the month is out, the cost of mailing a first class letter will increase on Aug. 1 from the present three cents to four cents. It will cost seven cents, in- stead of six, for anairmail let- ter and three cents, instead of two, for a postcard. Second Class Mail Rates on second class mail - newspapers and magazines - would be raised 60 per cent on the advertising content and 30 per cent on the editorial portion of a publication. This would take ef- fect in three annual 20 and 10 per cent jumps with the first one com- ing next January. Third class - largely advertis- ing circulars - rates would be in- creased 66.6 per cent in two steps., The bulk piece rate would go up from one and one-half to two cents next Jan. 1 and to two and one-half cent's July 1, 1960. ' The administration has been trying for years to get rates raised, so as to reduce' the annual deficit shown in Post Office Department operations. Talk of Veto However, this bill is 150 million dollars short of what President Eisenhower asked in revenue and 220 million more than he sought in pay raises. While there has been some talk of a veto, one senator said that PostmasterGenal Summerfield urgently asked President Eisen- hower last Monday to sign the measure. Most postal workers will get a 10 per cent pay raise, Atroactive to last Jan. 1 if the bill becomes law.

Residence Poetry Expresses Itsel f. BySleneCiardi Sayos. By KATHLEEN MOORE "How the poem expresses itself around the silences inside it" is of major importance, Prof. John Ciardi of Rutgers University said at the, Hopwood awards ceremony yesterday. His speech was followed by presentation of the Avery and Jule Hopwood awards. In every poem' there is a dividing point, Prof. Ciardi said, where the "poem seems to balance against itself." The balances, or "fulcrum points" are marked by a silence ', within the poem, he said. I p W i TV U .er Win V Respect Preferences The committee report em: s.zes a "policy of allowing studi to choose their own roomma through expressing preferences states that the expressed pre ences would be respected "so as it is administratively feas to do so. "If no preferences are expr ed," the report continues, "ass ments will be made accordini interests and living; habits pressed in the application." "What we are saying," V President for Student Affairs Board chairman James A. Di pointed out, "is. that we holdt the right of an individual to ch his own roommate, but with preferences expressed, and we not foster the practice of segr tion. Hall Boar ndom Selectio Defines Structure He defined poetic structure by saying, "A poem is one part" against another across a silence." After the silence, he explained, the poet has changed either his atti- tude toward' his subject, or the tone of the poem. He said the "technical change* may be slight, but unless one- registers it, he is not taking part in the poem." One zannot separate the intricate balance of a poem from its content, he continued. Prof. Ciardi used specific poems in discussing the points at which a poem balances itself. The "si- lence" may come in the middle of the poem, at any point within the structure of the poem, or may not be a part of the structure at all. Silence Used "A truncated poem" which moves at a constant, unvarying rate has no "internal pauses" he said, but the silence is still present. The poem "launches itself to rest," letting the fulcrum point come just after it ends, he said. This type of poem, Prof. Ciardi ex- plained, "uses its following silence to moralize." Some poets, he said, fail to use the "truncated poem." Often a poet "tacks on" a moral that les- sens the effect of the poem. A poet who does this, Prof. Ciardi con- tinued, "has used up and thrown away all his silence."

Surrounded on' three sides by green curtains, with a 16-foot modernistic mural covering the fourth wall, the theater has seats for the audience surrounding the central arena-style stage. An elevator running from one end of the arena to the stage of the Trueblood Auditorium located directly above, will eventually be used for equipment for a scene workshop, according to Thomas D. Skinner of the speech department. To Purchase Seats Although the audience for -the current playbill will be seated on folding chairs, the speech department plans to purchase arena theater seats that will be adjustable according to level and number of rows, he added. "Students from the department's stagecraft course did most of the work during their regular laboratory periods," Richard Schiller, S'59, a member of the student staff said. "The curtains and lights are all new," he said. "But we're risking mr +l4 i-d av+fs o ths inhhnaAfrom the oion Onera." he added.
