Beck; agreed last night to bow out
earlier than scheduled as Team-
ster president, so his expected suc-
cessor, James R. Hoffa can take
over the union helm right away.
.Beck is retiring from office but
his term extends to Dec. 1.
- But he proposed to the union
convention that it either termi-
nate the term by Oct 15 or put
him on leave of absence after that
date until Dec. 1.
1Hoffa in Charge
Hoffa, obviously in full charge
of the convention, jumped up with
a motion to put Beck on leave
effective Oct. 15.
The convention approved the
motion by unanimous standing
vote.
Beck told delgates he was of-
fering to step but sooner than
scheduled because he felt his suc-,
cessor should take over at the
earliest opportunity.
It was possible Beck's move may
have been inspired, however, by.
friinds of Hoffa. who want the
latter in full command of the
giant union for a coming battle
with the AFL-CIO.
The federation has threatened
to oust the Teamsters if they re-
tain Hoffa in the union. a
Oct. 15 happens to be the date
Hoffa is due to go to trial in New
York City on wiretap charges and
be arraigned on perjury charges.
Beck made his proposal to the
convention after a speech in
*hich he said "some people, be-
cause I have been financially suc-
cessful, feel I am not honest."'
Under Indictment
He is under indictment charg-
ing evasion of more than $250,000
in federal income taxes.:
The outgoing union president
fended his tangled financial deal-
ings with union firms and his re-
peated invoking of the F i f t h
Amendment before the Senate
Rackets Investigating Committee
in refusing to tell about them.
One deal Beck particularly de-
fended was his handling of a
memorial fund raised by union
member donations for the widow
of oneof Beck's closest Teamsters
friends.
It was charged before the Senate
committee that Beck shared in a
brokerage fee paid for investing
the funds.

By President of Tunisia
TUNIS (A') - President Habibd-Bourguiba declared yesterday it
is "not possible to maintain friendly relations with France" and or-
dered Tunisia's ambassador to Paris hiome at once.
In a speech prepared for broadcast to the Tunisian people, Bour-
guiba accused France of concentrating troops along the Tunisian-
Algerian frontier and said they "could at- any mnoment attack our
territory."
The President also charged that several Tunisian frontier posts'
have been bombed by French planes and added: "This is' aggres-

Gov. McKeldin
SaysFaulbus
Is in Wrong
CHICAGO (P) - Gov. Theodore
McKeldin of Maryland criticized
the governor of Arkansas yester-
day and said "the time has come'
when the federal government
should reveal all that it knows"
about the integration troubles in
Little Rock.
.Gov. McKeldin, a Republican,
said Gov. Orval Faubus' calling
out the Arkansas National Guard
and upsetting the integration plan
of thie Little Rock board of edu-
cation was "particularly obnox-
ious."
In a statement listing Gov. Fau-
bus' actions Gov. McKeldin con-
cluded:
Government Should Reveal
"I believe the time has come
when the federal government
should reveal all that it knows -
all the information that it has--
of events and maneuvers preced-
ing the calling out of the Nation-
al Guard on Sept. 2 and of all
that happened behind the scenes
in Arkansas after the Guard was
withdrawn under an brder of the
court."
Gov. McKeldin posed a series
of questions which he indicated
could be answered by such a re-
lease of information. These were:
Started Rumors-
"Who started the rumors of
prospective violence on which
Gov. Faubus based his original
action?
"'What forces excited the vio-<,
lence after the troops were with-1
drawn? Who provided its leader-
ship?"
Gov. McKeldin read his state-
ment to newsmen when he ar-
rived for ,a session of the joint
federal-state action committee.
Cheer Plan
By RICHARD TAUB
A group of University adminis-
trators, acting "in a purely ad-
visory capacity," has decided not
to endorse women-cheerleaders at
this time, Dean of Men Walter B.
Rea, said yesterday.
Dean of Women Deborah Ba-
-on, Dean Rea, William D. Revel-
II, director of bands, Vice-Presi-
dent for Student Affairs James
A. Lewis, Newt Loken of the ath-
letic department, and T. 14awley
Tapping, general secretary of the
alumni association, met informal-
ly yesterday afternoon to discuss,
the problem of women cheerlead-
ers.
The meeting had been called
after Lou Sussman, '59, told Stu-,
dent Government Council Wed-
nesday night, that while Miss Ba-
con had remained uncommitted,
Dean Rea, Revelli, Tapping and
Loken had expressed favor for
the project.
Dean Rea denied that he had
ever come out for. women cheer-
leaders.
He emphasized that any such
action was strictly up to the
Board in Control of Inter-Colle-
giate Athletics, whildl many other
groups suchas the M Club, Mich-
igan Managers Club, and Alumni
Association would probably be
asked for opinion.,
Newt Loken, gymnastics coach,
Rea said, was not even very
move.
Dean Bacon commented she
"has never been non-committal
about any issue." She didn't feel
the group should go' into such a
deeply emotional project.
And Revelli, according tot Dean
Rea had not recommended the
Sussman said he was "terribly
embarrassed" by the whole affair,
and sorry for any confusion he
might have caused.
"I may have been carried away
by enthusiasm for the move," he
said, "and misinterpreted the
comments I had heard.
Post Hopes
SACRAMENTO, Calif. 00)-Sen.
William F. Knowland yesterday
announced his candidacy for the
governorship of California, but
avoided an outright pledge that
he won't run for president in
1960,
The Senate minority leader, in
announcing he would oppose Gov.
Goodwin J. Knight for the Repub-
lican nomination in the state's
primary next June 3, said:
No Commitments
"Should the people-of California
entrust me with the responsibility
of being their chief executive, they
have my pledge that I shall enter'
into that great office with no com-
mitments other than the ones I.
make publicly to them."
He said he is running for the
four-year gubernatorial term "with
no purpose other than, if nomi-
nated and elected, to devote myself
faithfully . . . for the term or
terms to which I might be elected;".
However, the 49-year-old sena-
tor didn't irrevocably take himself
out of the 1960 presidential race
which is certain to involve another
Californian, Vice-President Rich-
ard M. Nixon.
Still Eligible
Asked at a news conference if
he could conceive of himself as a
candidate for the White House
three years hence, Sen. Knowland
replied:
"No one has a crystal ball as to
1960 or to 1964."
Gov. Knight issued a statemeht
later calling Sen. Knowland's move
to unseat him "a hydra-headed
bid" for the presidency.
Knight said:
"Sen. Knowland's carefully
worded statement is properly as-
essed by all who heard it as a
thinly disguised' invitation to his
later 'draft' for the presidential
nomination in 1960.
Such a comment is no substitute
for the honest, straightforward
declaration of intent that the
people of California are demand-,
ing" '
Sen. Knowland made his an-
nouncement in Gov. Knight's
backyard-at a hotel just across
the street from the big white
Capitol where he began his politi-
cal career 25 years ago as a state
assemblyman.
The French Defense Ministry
said Wednesday French planes
flying over Algerian territory near
the Tunisian frontier had been
hit by automatic fire from posi-
tions in Tunisia.
The announcement said the
-planes "opened fire on the auto-
matic arms."
Long a French protectorate,
Tunisia won independence last,
year but its relations with France
have deteriorated steadily.
Source of the trouble has been
the continuing anti-French re-
bellion in neighboring Algeria. .
The already exisitng tensions
have been increase recently by
Tunisia's quest for arms to equip
her small military force. "
Egypt and Italy responded f.a-
vorably and the United States
said it favored Western nations
supplying arms to the new repub-
'lic.
France, fearing that arms going
to Tunisia might get into Algerian
hands, has asked her allies to
hold up any deliveries pending a
French-Tunisian conference on
the question.
B o u r g u i b a previously had
okayed such a conference, but
said today he had reconsidered.

Asian Flu Reaches Epidemie.

WASHINGTON (A)- A Public
Health Service spokesman yester-
day said Asian flu is regarded as

tions in five states-New York,
Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and
Utah.
The spokesman also said the
disease probably has reached epi-
demic proportions in Alabama,,
Illinois, Michigan and Oregon and
possibly has done so in California.
He explained that a decision on
whether a .disease has reached
epidemic proportions in a state or
other area is one of judgment on
the part of state health authorities
--whether;the disease occurrence
in their opinion warrants designa-
tion, as an epidemic area.
Many colleges all over the coun-
try have been sorely, hit by the
flu epidemic.
LANSING (P)-Highway Com-
missioner John C. Mackie yester-
day blocked out a one and one-
quarter billion dollar road building
program keyed to a system of ex-
pressways across Southern Michi-
gan.
Mackie said the expressways will
link all cities .of the state of 50,000
or more population.
The programinvolvesconstruc-
tion or reconstruction of a total
of 2,900 'miles of highways. All will
be under contract by mid-1962,
he said, with completion expected
a year to 18 months later.
Of the financing, 415 million
dollars will come from issuance
of bonds, 505 millions from federal
aid and 330 millions from state
revenues.

way network call for Detroit-Mus-

300 million dollars for metropoli-
tan expressway development in the
Detroit area, the details to be
announced in November.
Tickets will be given to cars violating the city's new all-night
parking ordinance beginning Monday, Police Captain Riland J-
Gainsley .said yesterday.
Previously police have been posting warning signs on automobiles
disobeying the regulation, but there have been too many violations to
continue this procedure, Capt. Gainsley said, and therefore police
will begin ticketing cars.
He said, however, that most students were obeying 4he posted
signs, although a few were disregarding them.
Hits Many Streets
The action will affect parking on virtually all streets in the Uni-
versity area between the hours of 2 and 5 a.m. Parking will be pro-
