Ann Arbor Temperature Reaches
Low of -8, Rise Likely Today
A predicted high of 10 to 12 degrees-above-zero faces the Ann
Arbor area today after a low of seven degrees-below-zero yesterday
and temperatures of five degrees-below-zero early this morning.
Admitting to two and four-tenths inches of snowfall on Satur-
day and "traces" of snow yesterday, one phase of the Willow Run
Weather Station's report can be questioned by many Ann Arbor resi-
dents, still digging out from Saturday's snow blitz.
Forecast for the Michigan area is continued cold and generally
fair, with heavy snows near Lake Michigan and occasional snow
flurries in other areas.
Weather forecasters predict moderating temperature for tomor-
row in the Ann Arbor area.

Indonesian
Rebels Seek.
Gold Control
JAKARTA, Indonesia (')-Indo-
nesia's rebel government in Su-
matra stepped up its economic
war on the central government
yesterday, seeking to tie up its
gold abroad and to shut off its
major income at home.
With financial wizard Sjadrud-
din Prawiranegara as its premier
the rebel regime asked 40 banks
in the United States and 16 other
countries to block all gold bal-
ances belonging to the central
government.
It called for reports on balances
and other assets to be cabled to
the Bank of Indonesia in Padang,
central Sumatra. '
The rebels launched their eco-
nomic war Sunday with orders to
all foreign oil companies in Indo-
nesia to halt oil shipments and
payment of oil royalties to Ja-
karta.
There was no immediate indica-
tion whether foreign governments
or firms would comply with either
order. Sumatra is the richest in
oil of all Indonesia's islands. It
would be a severe blow to the
central government if its millions
in oil income were cut off.
The avowed aim of the rebels is
to force out the central govern-
ment of Premier Djuanda and
force President Sukarno to drop
his program of "guided Democra-
cy."

North Korea
Re'jects Plea
PANMUNJON, Korea W)P-Com-
munist North Korea yesterday re-
jected a demand by the United
Nations Command for the immedi-
ate return of a South Korean
airliner which flew 32 persons to
North Korea Sunday.
Communist spokesmen at a
meeting of the Military Armistice
Commission secretariat here said
the South Korean government
must deal directly with the North
Korean regime.
South Korea did not sign the
armistice suspending the Korean
War and has no direct contact
with the Red regime.
The North Korean radio Sunday
night admitted the plane was in
North Korea and claimed the in-
cident was the result of a defec-
tion to the 'Communists. Aboard
were two American pilots and 30
others, mostly Koreans.
A South Korean spokesman at
Seoul said it was a case of "burg-
lary in broad daylight." He said
the passengers and crew in effect
were kidnapped.
The plane vanished after flying
past Seoul from Pusan Sunday.
South Korea radar tracked it as
far as Sunan, site of a Red air
base about 15 miles north of
Pyongyang, North Korean capital.
'M' DROPS TO SEVENTH:
Spartans whip wolverines, 79-69
E By RUDE DIFAZIO
Michigan State moved to a
"comfortable" lead in the tight
Big Ten basketball race last night
with a 79-69 defeat of Michigan
before nearly 8,700 fans at Yost
Field House.
It was the Spartans' seventh
Conference win against three
losses. Coupled with Ohio State's,
93-83, victory over Indiana, it gave
MSU a one game lead over idle
Purdue, who backed into second
place with a 6-4 record.
The loss was Michigan's third
straight. The Wolverines who led
the league eight days ago, have
now dropped into the seventh
place with a 4-5 record.
Spartans Pull Ahead
After a slow start, the Spartans
jumped out to a 31-25 half-time
lead and then constantly beat
back Wolverine second-half chal-
lenges with torrid out-court shoot-
ing led by forward Bob Anderegg.
The Spartan forward, who was
high man for the night with 25
points, scored 21 in the second
half on a hot streak of jump shots
from the corner. Star eenter :
Johnny Green, who had three dif-
ferent Wolverines guarding him at
various times during the game,
hit a respectable 18.
Forward George Lee lead Michi-
gan with 22, while Pete Tillotson
hit for 17.
Anderegg Stops Drives
On two different occasions in
the second half, the Wolverines
pulled 'to within two points only
to have Anderegg hit from the
side, killing the spurt.
They quickly bounced back from
the six point half-time deficit to
trail, 35-33, but Anderegg, play-
ing his best game of the season,
hit four straight baskets and a
foul shot to help boost the Spar-
tans to seven-point, 46-39, lead.
Not ready to give up, the Wol-
verines came fighting back to trail
by two 47-49, only to have An-
deregg hit again. Tillotson hit a

In Little Rock
Expels Negro
LITTLE ROCK (P)-The Little
Rock School Board decided last
night to expel Minniejean Brown
from integrated Central High
School for the remainder of this
term.
The move was recommended by
school Supt. Virgil T. Blossom.
W. B. Brown, father of the 16-
year-old Negro girl, labelled the
decision as "very unfair."
"It sounded to me like Mr. Blos-
som was expelling Minniejean for
her own safety," Brown said. "He
didn't say it in those words, but
that's the way we took it."
The Negro girl claims she has
been a main target of segrega-
tionist students during her five
months at the school. She had
been suspended in incidents in-
volving Minniejean.

The Wolverine's again fell vic-

Michigan, with fine outside
shooting from their guards against
the Spartans' zone defense, jump-

through the half. State cut the,

the score 19-15 with 8:43 to go.

Detroit Among Four Cities Seekii
To Host Event; Chances Said Goo
By PAUL BORMAN
University Athletic Director H. O. "Fritz" Crisler open
the way yesterday for possible running of part of the 19
Olympic Games at the University.
Crisler told The Daily if Detroit could get the 1964 Olyr
pics, he would allow use of University facilities for the tra
and field games. He also said he would allow use of Unive
sity housing facilities.
State Sen. John B. Swainson (D-Detroit) last week pr
posed establishment of a commission to investigate buildi

Student Hurt
In Auto Crash.;
Car Wrecked
Jan K. Ratliff, '59. received arm,
leg and chest injuries Sunday
morning when a car in which he
was riding, driven by Carl Sattler,
hit a telephone pole on S. Main St.
Ratliff, 21 years old, was re-
leased from University Hospital
yesterday. His wife, one of the
other four persons involved in the
accident, suffered bruises and
cuts and is reported in good con-
dition.
Miss Geraldine M. Zahn, 21
years old, also an Ann Arbor resi-
dent, was the most seriously in-
jured.
Sattler, a local resident, was
driving north, and was apparently
passing anotherncar when his ve-
hicle skidded on snowy pavement
and went out of control. The car
spun, jumped the curb, and the
right side of the car hit the tele-
phone pole. The car was complete-
ly demolished.
Ann Arbor police said yesterday
that an investigation of the acci-
dent is continuing.
YD'S To Hear
Residents Sign
Bias Petition
A petition stating that persons
of any color, religion and nation-
ality would be welcomed as neigh-
bors has so far been signed by
667 Ann Arbor residents.
The statement is being circu-
lated this week as part of Brother-
hood Week, sponsored by the Citi-
zens' Committee on Inter-Group
Relations.
Although not officially connect-
ed with the city's Human Relations
Commission, the citizens' com-
mittee has maintained contact
with the Human Relations group.
Prof. Hubert M. Blalock of the
sociology department is chairman
of the citizens' committee.
U.S. Signs
Bases Deal.
With Britain
WASHINGTON (W)-The United
States, having completed arrange-
ments for nuclear missile bases in
the British Isles, is now negotiat-
ing for similar launching sites in
France.
State Department sources indi-
cated the Anglo-American agree-
ment may be signed and sealed
today. It is expected to be the
pilot pact for arming other North
Atlantic Treaty Organization allies
with medium-range rocket weap-
ons.
The British bases, reported to be
four in number and strung along
Britain's eastern coast, are sched-
uled to be armed with United
States Jupiter and Thor ballistic
missiles by the end of the year.
Could Reach USSR
From Britain these 1,500-mile
missiles could conceivably reach
as far north into Russia as Arch-
angel, just below the Arctic Circle,
and as far east as Odessa, on the
Black Sea.
Moscow and Leningrad would be
within the firing radius. Bases in
France would provide even deeper
penetration.
Gen. Lauris Norstad, NATO's
European commander, said in
Paris Monday that while prelimi-
nary discussions have been started
with France for bases there, no
specific agreement has been reach-
ed so far.
Joint Control Planned
Under the arrangement with
Britain, the launching sites will be
jointly controlled.
Information from London is that
Britain will pay the 90-million-
dollar cost of constructing the
sites and the United States, in,
addition to providing the weapons,
will furnish Air Force crews to
man the sites initially.
Later the Royal Air Force will
take over the British bases. RAF
crews are now in this country
training on the Thor and Jupiter.
Hydrogen warheads for the mis-
siles will be stockpiled at the bases
but they will remain under Ameri-
can control. Wartime firing of the
missiles, it is understood, would be
by mutual agreement of the United
States and the host country.
New Technic'
Staff Named
INew editors and staff for the
Michigan State Fair Grounds
in Detroit to attract the Olym-
pic Games. It is widely be-
lieved the United States will
host the 1964 Games.
Four Seek Games
Among the four cities in this
country who want to host the
Games, Chicago, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia and Detroit, the lat-
ter is considered to have the best
chances.
Los Angeles hosted the Games
in 1932. Detroit is scheduled to
open new hotel facilities before
1964.
Sen. Swainson said he was hap-
py to hear of Crisler's position and
added it would be another incen-
tive to bringing the Games to the
state.
Won't Abandon Plan
He said he would not abandon
his proposal for the stadium
authority.
His bill, which is now before the
Legislature, calls for a $15 million
revenue bond issue for the stadium
which will be primarily for the
Olympics.
Crisler described Swainson's
project as "something I would not
invest in" and added "The only
way it could be self-supporting
would be if it hosted an event a
day."
Lions, Tigers Uninterested
Officials of the Detroit Lions
and Tigers have shown little in-
terest in moving their home from
the 54,000 seat Briggs Stadium to
the proposed new site.
Crisler said that he had not
been approached by Swainson on
this matter and added: "Besides,
it is still a long way off."
The University's facilities would
include the Stadium, Ferry Field
and Yost Field House.
J-Hop Future
Under Study

By MURRAY FEWELL
The future of J-Hop continues
to be a question mark as members
of Student Government Council's
Finance Committee are hashing
over problems of the 1958 dance.
Meanwhile J-Hop Central Com-
mittee members are attempting to
compile 'a complete financial re-
port for the dance, according to
General Chairman, Jim Cham-
pion, '59.
Losing money for the second
straight year, the all - campus
dance sold 598 tickets. Champion
has said that 900 sales were need-
ed to break even. On this basis
the deficit is expected to reach
$2,200.
SGC Paid Last Year
Last year's deficit of $500 was
made up by SGC.
Whether this year's debt will be
made up by the council is one of
the questions up for considera-
tion by SGC.
A traditional affair at the Uni-
versity, J-Hop was first begun on
Feb. 17, 1877 when 20 couples at-

TWO OTHER BLAZES REPORTED:
C.i Psi Headquarters Damaged in Fire
By JOHN WEICHER
Ann Arbor firemen extinguished three fires in one hour in zero
temperatures last night, one of them at Chi Psi fraternity national]
headquarters.
Buildings at 712 N. Fourth Ave. and 630 Hiscock St. were the
locations of the other fires.
The Chi Psi headquarters at 1705 Washtenaw St. reported a fire
in the upper stories at 6:26 p.m., which was not put out until 7:35 p.m.
Fire Reported Four Minutes Later
Four minutes later an alarm was reported at the Fourth Avenue
address. Approximately an hour was needed to extinguish this fire
also.
Sparks from plumbers' blowtorches, being used to thaw frozen
water pipes, apparently caused both fires, firemen said. The sparks
caught and burst into flames after the plumbers had left.
Damages at the fraternity headquarters were estimated at be-
