ACTION: Air Agency Formation Guaranteed By The Associated Press WASHINGTON -The loss of 61 lives in military-civilian air collisions this year appeared yes- terday to have virtually assured prompt congressional action on a new federal air safety agency. + "So far there is no visible op- position," Sen. A. S. Monroney+ (D-Okla.) said of a bill drastically overhauling present airway con-+ trols. "We have far more support than we thought we would have," Mon- roney added in an interview. He is chairman of the Senate Aviation subcommittee. Has Wide Backing Some 33 senators of both parties already are backing the Monroney bill to establish an independent federal aviation agency with broad powers to enforce a nationwide and unified air traffic control. Two days of emergency Senate hearings on the military-civilian crashes developed wide support from operators of commercial air- lines, airline pilots, and key gov- ernment officials. "About the only probable oppo- sition may come from Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeksnand Under - secretary of Commerce Louis S. Rothschild," Sen. Mon- roney added. Proposes New Agency At present the Civil Aeronautics Administration, which operates the nationwide airways system, is part of the Commerce Department. The. Civil Aeronautics board, which determines air routes and safety rules maong other func- tions, is an independent agency. Monroney would put them both in the proposed new agency, which would be headed by a single ad- ministrator directly responsible to the president and Congress. Quick Action Needed During hearings before Senate and House groups witnesses stress- ed that the great speeds of modern aircraft, including jet passenger planes soon to be operating, re- quired immediate action. Clarence N. Sayen, president of an organization of 15,000 commer- cial airline pilots, told senators that under existing CAA regula- tions "you can kill each other per- fectly legally." He agreed with Sen. Frederick G. Payne (R-Me.) that when two aircraft approach at speeds of 300 to 600 m.p.h. or more the pilots have only a fraction of a minute to avoid disaster. Little Visual Safety Sayen said this virtually elimi- nates safe visual flying under the present "see and be seen" system for slow aircraft. Lt. Gen. Elwood R. Quesada, chairman of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's airways moderniza- tion board, agreed that present and future speeds of aircraft re- quire a single traffic control. Quesada announced Friday night that effective Saturday the armed services are placing emer- gency restrictions on military jet flights at altitudes under 20,000 feet. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with discrimination in Ann Arbor.) By JOHN WEICHER Some time ago a group of Ann Arbor citizens circulated a petition stating that the signers would wel- come persons of any nationality, race, or religion as neighbors. The petition, sponsored by the Citizen's Committee on Inter- Group Relations, was signed by approximately 700 residents of the city. At about the same time, the Congregational and Disciples' Stu- dent Guild circulated a petition of its own, opposing non-integration policies in the residence halls. About 800 students signed this petition. To Investigate Placement As a result of this petition, the residence halls Board of Governors decided to conduct an investiga- tion into roommate placement in the residence halls and has just published its findings. The Board of Governors' action indicates the growing attention being paid to discrimination and integration in the residence halls, and in housing generally. In the city of Ann Arbor, the Human Relations commission was established last summer; one of its primary concerns has been with discrimination in housing. The Commission has a counter- part on the University scene in the Human Relations Board of Student Government Council, which Chas recently begun to work in the area of discrimination in off-campus housing. A recommenaation from the Board, asking that University ad- vertising facilities be denied to landlords who practice discrimina- tion, was approved by SGC earlier this semester. The Council also passed a policy statement opposing discrimination in off -campus housing at the behest of the Board. Both the Board and the Com- mission have also worked on the city's other major area of dis- crimination: employment. In one of the new programs of the Com- mission's Human Relations Year, begun in February the group seeks to establish a few more job op- portunities for Negroes in the major merchandising districts of the city. Hlelps End Discrimination The Board has claimed a share of the credit for ending discrimi- nation in restaurants, barber shops, and other service establish- ments. Negro students report no discriminatory policies in local service and recreational businesses. One Negro student phrased it this way: "Sometimes you feel a Local Discrimination Studied little resentment, but not enough to make a difference." Separate Churches Not-Needed Some Negroes-and white resi- dents-express concern in another area of discrimination. They note that separate churches exist for white and Negro members of some Protestant denominations. For example, one local Negro, a member of the African Metho- dist Episcopal Church, said he felt there was no need for his church to be separate from the Metho- dist Church. A similar separation occurs be. tween the Southern Baptist Con- See INVESTIGATE, page 7 , I _ _ _ ____ __ _ v . 4 s ... .__ ___ ._. flimlin ecalls State E Assembly ergency InI New Y.

(P)-Cornell Uni- versity yesterday "suspended four students accused of inciting riots in which University President Deane W. Malott was spattered with eggs and his house stoned. One student was the son of a Cornell professor. The suspensions are to be re- viewed Tuesday by the Men's Ju- diciary Board, a student discipli- nary group that will submit recommendations to the faculty's student conduct committee. The students could be expelled. The riots began Friday, report- edly over student belief that the school planned to ban unchaper- onde parties in off-campus stu- dent apartments. They erupted again early yes- terday when students threw a smoke bomb and rocks at Presi- dent Malott's home. The demon- stration 'followed a torchlight parade in which. 2,000 students participated. The students, mostly men, brushed aside pleas of student leaders and converged on Presi- dent Malott's house. Observers said they shouted insults and obscen- ities and demanded that President Malott resign. A smoke bomb burst, covering the area with smoke. President Malott came out but could barely be heard over the shouting. He told the students that they had made their point about party restrictions but said he was not going to yield to a mob.

"The Timf has come," Gargoyle Managing Editor Jean Willoughby, '59Ed., said yesterday, indicating that Timf sales would take place tomorrow in spite of forecasts for snow. "Now is the Timf," she recited, pointing out that the magazine, a parody on a national news maga- zine, also parodies campus events of the past year: SGC Elections ("Take your ballot box and stuff it!"), IFC elections, IHC elections, and of course Union food. "A stitch in Timf," the editor continued, was misplaced by the printers so that the pages in each issue are out of order. The Gar- goyle staff is considering a prize contest with an award to the per- son who can put the pages back in the best order. "Timf marches on," Miss Wil- loughby remarked, unable to stop talking. "We're having a sales parade down State Street at 10 a.m. before tapping on the Diag." "Candida," often called George Bernard Shaw's most popular play, will be presented tomorrow through Saturday by the Univer- sity Drama Season. Due to the illness of Nancy Kelly, originally scheduled to play the title role, broadway and televi- sion performer Carmen Mathews will head the production. Wesley Addy, Philip Tonge and Dick Dav- alas will appear in the male sup- porting roles. The comedy centers around Candida's dilemma when her hus- band insists that she choose be- tween him and a talented, but ar- rogant young writer in whom she is interested. After humorously examining the situation, the heroine chooses the man who needs her most, "the weaker of the two." Ranked as the most entertaining of Shaw's plays, "Candida" was -originally played by Katharine Cornell on Broad- way. England's most well-known con- temporary playwright, Terence Rattigan, is the author of "Sep- arate Tables," the next presenta- tion in the series. The play,' which ran for two years in London and was featured in New York last season, will play from June 2 to June 7. Veteran actors Betty Field and Basil Rathbone will co-star in the presentation which combines humor and drama. Set in an Eng- lish resort hotel, the play offers a special challenge to the two stars, who must assume dual roles during the course of the action. Both stars have appeared in Ann Arbor before, Rathbone in "The Heiress' and "The Winslow Boy" and Miss Field in "The Fourpost- er." In the fifth singles, Fulton beat Jack Cramer of Northwestern 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. Both men stayed in the backcourt in the first set with Cramer's fine forehand continu- ously forcing Fulton to err. But in the second and third sets, Fulton went to the net more, try- ing to conquer Cramer's forehand with backhands. The strategy See FULTON, Page 3 Michigan N"ine Defeats Iowa In 'Twin Bill.

The final victories offset an otherwise disappointing season in which the Wolverines finished in a tie for sixth with Indiana. Min- nesota won the title yesterday by beating Michigan State twice, 3-2 and 2-1. Michigan's record in the Con- ference fell below the .500 level . with seven wins and eight losses. BASIL RATHBONE .. . in "Separate Tables" i Goin~ Student Accuses Hannah Of Neglecting University Last week at Michigan State University a written argument was' carried on between President John A. Hannah and John Berry, a sophomore. Berry stated in a letter to the editor of the "Michigan State News" that President Hannah has.spent too much time away from Michigan State at the expense of the interests of the students. He felt President Hannah's time "should be more fully devoted to his duties here (at Michigan State) as head adminis- trator." Berry continued in saying the students "should be his main concern." University First Concern President Hannah in his reply wrote, "The entire university and its long-range aspirations, not just the students alone, must be my first concern." In this connection he thought the interests of the whole univer- i:sity can be best served, not by his staying on the campus at all times, but in traveling and building up its prestige and reputation.

Ticket Sales, Open June 12 The athletic department's ticket manager Don Weir announced yes- terday that tickets for all the games on Michigan's 1958 football schedule will go on sale to stu- dents only on June 2. After making the announcement Weir commented, "There is no need for students to rush down and buy tickets on the morning of the second since they have a two week priority. "Alumni organizations and other groups interested in buying tickets for either home or away games will have to wait until June 16 to make their purchases," added Weir. Starting June 2, tickets may be purchased Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Athletic Administration building. "Because of the anticipated great demand, students will be alowed to purchase only two tickets for the Michigan State game which will be played at East Lansing," Weir said. Tickets for the two other scheduled road games at Northwestern and Ohio State will also be on sale. In addition to conference games against Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, Michigan's six game home schedule will include inter- sectional clashes withSouthern California and Navy. CalendarL List N"t Bus ( the "n co d i Insurrection In Corsica. Dissidents Organize Citizens' Committee In Island's Capital PARIS (P) -- Premier Pierre Pflimlin late last night called an emergency session of the National Assembly for tomorrow morning to deal with armed pro-de Gaulle in- surrection on the island of Corsica. A special Cabinet session pro- claimed that a state of insurrec- tion existed at Ajaccio, capital of the French Mediterranean island where Napoleon Bonaparte was born. Following the pattern already established in Algiers, a committee of public safety was set up there by the dissidents in Corsica. Studied Reports For three hours Pflimlin's minis- ters. studied reports from Ajaccio and other points in Corsica that self-appointed committees of pub- lic safety and an undetermined number of French paratroopers had seized government buildings at Ajaccio, Corte and Calvi. The committees were reported calling for what they described as a government of national union led by Gen. Charles de Gaulle. In another of a series of harsh blows at the beleaguered Pfiimlin government, insurgent de Gaullists set up a strongman triumvirate in Algeria. The leaders vowed to fight "unto death" to restore de Gaulle to power. Calls Cabinet Session The blows fell as Pflimlin fought on in Paris for new governmental power to cope with the mounting crisis. Pfiimlin called for another emer- gency Cabinet session this after- noon in advance of the parlia- mentary meeting. He also planned to go to the people again early today in an ex- traordinary radio speech. The special Cabinet session yes- terday that labeled the Corsica uprising an insurrection could in effect commit the government to bring the island back under con- trol by force if necessary. No such step has been taken} to deal with the Algerian develop- ments.
