RECONSIDERED Y L Sixty-Seven Years of Editorial Freedom ~!Iadp FAIR, WARMER See page 4 -L VOL. LxVIII, No. 36 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1957 FIVE CENTS SIX PAGES Zhukov Dropped From Presidium Central Committee Meets in Secret; Moscow Invokes Total Censorship LONDON (A).t-Reports reaching London and Paris from Mos- cow yesterday said Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov has been fired from the ruling Presidium of the Soviet Communist party and is facing disgrace. These reports are completely unofficial. They come from mem- bers of Western diplomatic missions in Moscow. But indications were that Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev had called an urgent meeting of the party Central Committee, probably to af- firm Zhukov's ouster as defense F renchmen TJurn Down Mollet's Bid PARIS (A') -The National As- sembly early today turned down Socialist Guy Mollet's bid to head a new French government. The official count showed the former Premier was rejected by a vote of 290-227. Assembly members turned a deaf ear to Mollet's plea that the nation urgently needs a govern- ment to face its mounting prob- lems. He was the fourth to try forming a cabinet since the gov- ernment of Premier Maurice Bour- ges-Maunoury fell four weeks ago. Support Fades Mollet's defeat was presaged last night when the Independent Republicans and Peasants, con- trolling 99 of the vote Mollet was counting on t6 give him a total of about 270, decided to vote against him. At a party caucus,'83 deputies went on record against Mollet while only three were for him. This was repayment for the So- cialists refusal last week to sup- port the Independents' Antoine I. Nay for the premiership. Mollet, who holds the postwar record for longevity in the Pre- mier's chair with 15 months of service, had sought to form France's 24th government since World ,War II. His defeat throws the problem of finding a' Premier back to President Rene Coty. Discipline Stressed Appealing for Assembly endorse- ment, Mollet told the deputies both the state and private citizens have to impose on themselves the 'strictest and most rigorous disci- pline." He said, his first duty would be to halt inflation and the falling value of the franc. As part of this program, Mollet said it would be necessary to "con- cider recourse to foreign loans, in appealing to the solidarity of our Atlantic and European allies." He said a new bond issue would. have to be floated in France, new advances asked from the Bank of France, new taxes voted by the Assembly and government spend- ing curtailed sharply. Collins Asks SC Consider Self-Appraisal The Executive Committee of Student Government Council will request that the Council consider an evaluation of SGC, according to SGC President Joe Collins, '58. Last spring, a student, faculty, administration group under Re- gent directive evaluated the 4Council after a two year trial period and was then approved by the Regents. * This evaluation committee, ac- cording to Collins, reconnended that the students further evalu- ate the group. Collins said the committee will be set up so anybody with inf or- mation or suggestions could re- port to the group. 11 Collins himself wants the eval- uation committee, after it is set up, to look into the possibility of -'adding a foreign student and grad student to the Council. United Fund Total Climbs Ann Arbor's United Fund drive stood at 55 per cent of their goal as of midnight last night. According to unofficial totals compiled by The Daily, the city's minister. Censorship blocked correspond- ents' efforts to file any hard news from Moscow. It appeared to be the most thorough censorship in- voked since the Stalin era. Repeat Seen It was considered possible Khrushchev was repeating his performance of last June, when he summoned the full party Cen- tral Committee to confirm the purge of Georgi Malenkov, Lazar Kaganovich and V. M. Molotov- from their party and government posts. Khrushchev apparently had been outvoted in the party's rul- ing Presidium - then. a nine- member Politburo - but a hasty meeting of the Central Committee backed him and turned the tide against those accused of being part of an "antiparty group." Shakeup Possible It seemed likely Khrushchev was calling the signals again and this might mean a new shakeup in the Kremlin hierarchy. There was some speculation that a place was being cleared for Zhukov, but this idea was fast losing favor among Westerners who scented disgrace in the portents surround- ing Zhukov's 'dismissal. Much of the material corre- spondents tried to file on the tone of the Soviet party press has been held up by the censor. This included textual material from Pravda editorials which might have contained clues to the mystery. Stockholm dispatches said copies of Soviet papers have not been received there since Fri- day, although it is normal for the distributors to receive the papers the day after publication. Only excerpts of Pravda editorials have been filed from Moscow. Moscow Buzzes Removal of Zhukov from the party's Presidium surely would mean disgrace for the man who led the Russians to victory in Germany 12 years ago. M Word leaking through Moscow telephone lines to Western Europe indicated the Soviet capital was buzzing with the anticipation of Zhukov's disgrace.. There had been talk in Mos- cow that a position might be cre- ated for Zhukov such as first deputy premier. There have been no first deputy premiers since the "antiparty" group was ousted. Moscow censorship also passed speculation that Zhukov might be made ambassador to the United States. Western diplomats in Belgrade who have access to the Soviet newspaper Pravda said editorials in the paper indicated a conflict raging in the Presidium. One source in Belgrade suggested Khrushchev once again was try- ing to rally the Central Commit- tee behind him after being out- voted in the ruling party Presidium. An Editorial THE IDEA OF CAMPUS CHEST is being given its biggest test this week. After a rather weak performance last spring, the University's unified charity drive is facing its second - and perhaps last chance to prove itself as a means of supporting worthy causes while at the same time eliminating numerous individual solicitations. But if' the Campus Chest concept is being tested, so is the campus' generosity. The drive's goal of one dollar per person is not too much to ask: many schools' drives realize as much as five dollars for each student. And the causes are surely worthy of campus support. Fresh Air Camp, the main beneficiary, is a heartening ef- fort at mental rehabilitation of disturbed children whose physi- cal welfare is so often society's only concern. The Free Univer- sity of Berlin scholarship represents a student contribution to international exchange and understanding with a sister uni- versity. The Ann Arbor United Fund is an' amalgamation of a number of deserving community and national charitable or- g/nizations, such as the Salvation Army, the YMCA and Leader Dogs for the Blind. THE TWO national educational charities - World University Service and the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students - both aim at facilitating the education of those who otherwise might be denied a university experience. Both are supported in large part by campus drives in this coun- try, and both recognize the key role played by education in overcoming social deprivation. WUS carries on programs in student health and welfare and university aid in underdevel- oped areas, a symbol of the willingness of the world's most pros- perous students to help their-less fortunate fellows. NSSFNS en- courages and aids Negro students in their attempts °Io be edu- cated in interracial universities, a symbol of American society's willingness to help carry some of the burden it has placed on the shoulders of the Negro. It may not be convenient for some students - especially those in unorganized housing - to contl'ibute. But the causes are deserving enough, the goal reasonable enough and the con- cept of a unified drive important enough, for the campus to go out of its way, if need be, to contribute a dollar a person to Campus Chest. -THE SENIOR EDITORS Res AskExchanges OpenAms Meetings Urge SwtchAN ALL-TIME LOW: Desire New To All-Nation SGC Campaign Opens U.S.-Soviet Arms Talks For Eleven Candidates Air Service By JANICE WILCZEWSKIPrp eCut al UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.

Housing units decide individu- ally the type of fund solicitation -whether the house as a whole will be billed or whether individu- al solicitations will be made. Residence hall solicitations will continue today and tomorrow with the bucket drive Thursday and Friday. Class Excuses Cause Trouble Maryln Segel, '58Ed, League President, reported yesterday that several students, confined to their residences with, influenza, have had trouble with instructors con- cerning excuses for missing class. A few instructors have request- ed written excuses, she said. How- ever, these are unobtainable for students who were not actually confined to Health Service In- firmary. Dr. Morley Beckett, Health Service Director, said yesterday Health Service stopped issuing ex- cuses for students hot confined to the infirmary two years ago. "Students would come in request- ing an excuse for the day before. This became a problem," he said. r--- I National Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Army gener- als took pot shots yesterday at Air Force doctrine anid what they called "'arbitrary" Defense De- partment rules curbing the Ar- my's role in guided missiles. They proclaimed, too, that an Army weapon now being perfected may provide a defense against the intercontinental ballistic missile. CHICAGO' - Historian Henry Steele Commager defended Amer- ican high schools y e s t e r d a y against often heard charges of watered down education but ac- cused them of degrading athletics into a burlesque show. "More and more the athletic tail is wagging the academic dog," Commager said in a speech pre- pared for a conference on the American high school. "More and more young men who are protected by law from ex- ploitation in the labor market are exploited for the convenience, the entertainment or the profit of adults." WASHINGTON - Morton So- bell, convicted with Ethel and Julius Rosenberg of atomic es- pionage, got still another setback from the Supreme Court yester- day in his legal fight to get out of prison. The court rejected without comment a petition asking that it reverse itself and grant Sobell a review of his conviction. It was the seventh time the court has turned down applica- tions of one sort or another in So- bell's behalf, each time leaving the conviction undisturbed. The Western powers believe that secret meetings keep debate from turning into a propaganda battle. The Soviet proposal calls for the establishment of a permanent disarmament commission com- posed of all UN member nations. The commission would examine "all proposals on disarmament submitted to the United Nations" and would make recommenda- tions to the General Assembly. Propose Increase Some diplomats expected the Soviet plan to win support from the Middle East and neutral Asia. India, Japan and others have pro- posed increasing the membership of the commission and its sub- committee. A Soviet memo explained that broader talks were necessary be- cause the commission and sub- committee failed to advance any agreement. The Western members of the subcommittee-the United States, Britain, France and Canada - have already supported a 24-na- tion resolution which would en- dorse the latest Western proposals and send disarmament talks back to the subcommittee. A majority of the assembly backs this reso- lution. Under New Setup He said, "The committee is un- der an entirely different setup this year. We are relying and drawing from reports of four election com- mittees. There is no reason why we can't be 100 per cent more effective than last year." He added that the absence of ballots at various polls should be avoided this time for two reasons. One is that, contrary to last spring,, there will only be one SGC ballot for this election. Also, two com- mittee members will visit the polls each hour, checking the number of ballots on hand. "We expect to have 200 or more ballots at each booth consistently." Tremendous Advantage Zook concluded by saying that "the committee this year has a tremendous advantage over the elections committee last year. We will have every chance of doing a good job," he said.. The SGC candidates are Joe Col- lins, '58, Council president; May- nard Goldman, '59, treasurer; and Council members Jo Hardee, '60; and Dan Belin, '59. Also running are David Bray, '60; Bert A. Getz, '59BAd; Virgil; Grumbling, '58; Don Koster, '59; Linda Rainwater, '60; Mort Wise,; '59, and Lois Wurster, '60. WITH QUALIFICATIONS: Ackley Gives Hopeful Picture of Italian PROPOSE $1,500 FEES: TuitionHike Suggestion Rejected by 'U' President By MICHAEL KRAFT Suggestions that college students should be willing to pay $1,500 a year in tuition were termed "a complete reversal of traditional American educational concepts," by .University President Harlan Hatcher yesterday. Devereux C. Josephs, chairman of President Dwight D. Eisen- hower's Committee on Higher Education made the proposal, saying it is impossible to maintain adequate facilities without more financial support from parents. Tuition fees of $1,500 do not seem out of line - for the returns a student will get from his college education, he told The New York Times. President Hatcher said "this E conom ykind of thinking is a complete that doesn't make a distinction between the rich and poor." "After you have priced the stu- dent out of- the market, you have not solved the problem of higher education at all. Raising student fees is a makeshift method and should be tackled head-on," Presi- dent Hatcher declared. Elaborating on the committee report sent last week to President Eisenhower, Josephs said the most important need in higher educa- tion today is foi competent faculty members. Faculty fees should be boosted 50 per cent and the neces- sary $500,000,000 ought to be pro- vided by raises in student fees, the chairman said. He added that students pay about 50 per cent of the overall ... college costs and less than 20 per the armed services to make no reduction in the proposed spend- ing of $1.7 billion on basic re- search. The action by Secretary Neil McElroy was taken against a back- ground of criticism of an Aug. 17 economy order by former Secre- tary Charles E. Wilson. Follows Criticism The criticism, much of it from Democrats in Congress and scien- tists and organizations active in basic research, grew sharp follow- ing the Russian success with the Sputnik earth satellite. McElroy ordered the Army, Navy and Air Force to restore their basic research levels "within the over- all resources currently available." Congress voted the $1.7 billion for basic research spending in the fiscal year which began last July 1. 10 Per Cent Slash Wilson's Aug. 17 order directed the services to cut their spending by an amount equal to 10 per cent of the money for basic re- search. Pentagon spokesmen said Wil- son intended that the savings come not out of the $1.7 billion but out of $3.60 billion set aside for procurement and production in the T _ search and development field. The order was interpreted variously by the services but in the end the effect wa's a cut in the basic research fund. Earlier yesterday,.two more im- portant missile developments were disclosed: Different Radar 1) The Army said its new Hawk missile, designed to shoot down low flying planes, has a radar eye which ignores things that stand still, but speeds the missile toward a target movin in the air. 2) The Matador guided missile, hitherto a one shot weapon, was disclosed to have been modified so that it can be recovered by para- chute and refired in training and test workouts. This is an Air Force missile. College Aid Plan Given LANSING (4') -- A Republican lawmaker today suggested meeting the problem of zooming college enrollments by providing. for in- struction of college freshmen and sophomores in their home town high schools. Rep. Willard I. Bowerman, Jr. (R-Lansing) proposed that first and second year students could get their class work in after regular high school hours-between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.-and during summer recess. Thus, on-campus enrollment at colleges and universities would be limited to juniors, seniors and graduate students. As part of the plan, local school districts should be reimbursed for added exnense by an extenision of V11tu0. ". Jq*Y, 51Ml a sistant to Secretary Dulles, headed the American delegation. Lacy contented himself with a brief opening statement, mostly chiding Russia for blocking more' liberal United States-Soviet exchanges. He said he would offer United States proposals "presently." Lacy and Zarubin agreed that their aim, as Zarubin put it in his remarks, was to "help to create an atmosphere of confidence and mu- tual understanding between our countries." Lacy called for "free discussion, criticism and debate," and de clared: Visits Asked "The reputation of Americana and Russians for friendliness and hospitality is well known." Thee Soviet proposal, among other things, called for swapping visits by members of the American Congress and the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. Zarubin said the Congress-Su- preme Soviet visits could take place in 1958. The Soviet proposal was based on reciprocity. It called foi' visits by experts in industry, agriculture, science, the arts, trade unions, radio-television, education, trade, sports and news reporting. Turkish Vote Called Unfair ISTANBUL (P)-- Opponents of Premier Adnan Menderes cried foul yesterday after the thunder- ing victory of his Democrat party in Turkey's national election. The unofficial but final count showed the Democrats won 432 seats of the new 610-seat Parlia- ment in the voting Sunday, out- drawing their opponents in 47 of the nation's 67 provinces. Menderes' leading rival, ex-Pres- ident Ismet Inonu of the People's Republican party, told a news con- ference the Republicans are lodg-1 ing official conplaints in, each of. the 47 provinces they lost. Inonu, 73 years old, said the Democrats used police to interfere with voting, announced their vie- tories over the state radio while voting was still going on and packed registration lists. He said he had made these complaints in a telegram to Men- deres but was entering no offi- cial protest himself, leaving this instead to party organizations in the provinces. Despite Menderes' victory, soe Republicans consoled themselves with the fact they had cut solid- ly intothe huge majority he has enjoyed in Parliament since 1954. Flu Epidemic Fades Away Asian Flu no longer exists on By DAVID TARR A hopeful but qualified picture of the Italian economy was given yesterday by Prof. Gardner Ackley of the economics department. He said the determination of the people and a "sincerely con- ceived" government program may enable the country to solve its considerable unemployment problem. But he added, "One prerequisite to success will be the ability of they Italians to create and maintain a stable government." The govern- nent today is a minority coalition and is relatively helpless until elec- tions next spring. Limited Capital Hurts j Prof. Ackley, who spoke before the Economics Club, has recently- returned from a year's stay in Italy on a Fulbright grant. Unemployment in Italy is thought to range between one-and one- half and two million in a working force of about 20 million. Prof. Ackley said the prevailing and official opinion in Italy attri- butes this unemployment to a limited supply of capital. He said eco- nomists believe production is at its peak because of limited capital which therefore prevents more employment.
