Cabinet Meeting Ike Has Busiest Day No Fatigue Evident, Since Stroke; Snyder Says WASHINGTON (M)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower, snapping back from the mild stroke he suffered Nov. 25, presided over a Cabinet meeting ,yesterday and then hit some golf balls on the White House lawn. It was the busiest day President Eisenhower has put in since his cerebral attack. When it ended, Maj. Gen. Howard M. Snyder, the President's personal physician, checked his pulse, blood pressure and tempera- ture. All were described-as normal, and James C. Hagerty, the White I ' )- vote on Tax For Sports Disapproved By JOHN WEICHER City Administrator Guy C. Lar- com, Jr., last nigh recommended to City Council that the council not propose a tax increase for recreational purposes on the Feb- ruary ballot. Larcom's suggestion came in re- sponseto a motion last week by Councilman George A. Keebler that he study the question. The Council has been seeking a solu- tion to the city's recreation prob- lem since the School Board an- nounced that it could not sup- por~t the program this year. Wanted Action Deferred Larcorn told the council that the easiest way to raise money for recreation would be to amend the charter and raise the tax rate. He suggested, however, that the council defer action until the city's needs for next year have been estimated. Approximately $17,000 would be needed for the city to take over financing of the program entire- ly, Larcom said. Recreation ex- penses of $36,435 have been budgeted' for next year's recrea- tion program. Chief activities are providing supervisors at ice skating and hockey areas in city parks and a summer sports program. Study Year-Round Program The School Board has borne the cost of recreation programs in former years, but felt it could not continue to. do so after a proposal for a school tax increase was de- feated by the voters last spring. The Council unanimously passed a resolution to form a citizens' committee on public recreation which would work with the School Board in studying he possibility of a year-round program. SFA Confab To Feature Hatcher Talk President Harlan Hatcher will be the principal speaker at the Student-Faculty-Administration Conference Saturday. He will speak on City-University relations, according to Peter Van Haften, '59, of the Union. Delegates to the semi-annual cnoference will discuss counseling problems, student relations with the city, and the effect of increased costs on students. Twenty officials rom the city administration and the Chamber of Commerce have been invited to dtheConference, together with 50 students and 45 faculty and ad- ministration members. It will start at y 9 a.m with a welcoming speech .by Vice -Presi- dent for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. Liquor at Party Brings Fine Pi Lambda fraternity has been fined $400 and placed on social probation for the rest of the semes- ter for holding an "unauthorized" party at which liquor was served to minors, it was learned yester- day. The fraternity, which appeared before Joint Judiciary Council on House press secretary, said Snyder reported: "The President's condi- tion is excellent and he shows no signs of fatigue." Meets with Cabinet President Eisenhower was with his Cabinet members for an hour and 40 minutes discussing budget problems and legislative recom- mendations to be made to Con- gress next month. He also spent an hour in con- ference with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy participated in the last 10 minutes of this meet- ing. While the Cabinet was still in session-and to the astonishment of White House newsmen - the President donned slacks and a' sweater and began practicing pitch shots to the green on the White House lawn. Didn't Disclose Practice Hagerty did not disclose the golf practice until after photogra- phers outside the White House fence had noticed an attendant tossing balls back to a golfer who was out of view in the dusk. Inquiries confirmed it was the President, acting under doctors' orders to get a little exercise. Hag- erty said President Eisenhower spent 15 minutes with a nine iron and a. wedge. Snyder stood nearby and offered comments as the 20- yard shots arched across the lawn. Hagerty said the chief executive appeared to be making a "great" recovery. The press secretary add- 'ed he spoke as a layman, not as a doctor. U' Neurologist Cites Mildness Of Ike' s Case Dr. Kenneth Magee, associate professor of neurology, said re- cently evidence from President Dwight D. Eisenhowe±'s neurolo- gical examination "would seem to confirm the fact that his current illness is of a very mild nature and no major brain blood vessel has been occluded." He added yesterday that, al- though one can never predict the future, any prediction would be "more optimistic" than in the initial relief period. Dr. Magee cautioned against using the word "stroke" in refer- ence to President Eisenhower's affliction. "It is often associated with paralysis and cerebral hem.- morage, neither of which the Pres- ident has had." According to the University neurologist the President is in good hands. "The consulting neu- rologists are among the country's leading neurologists," he said. Recovery from such a mild ill- ness may come in a' few days, he added. The usual treatment for this condition, he said, consists of de- creased activity and rest for sev- eral weeks, although bed rest is seldom necessary. NATO: Stevenson Not Invited To Confab. WASHINGTON W) - Adla iE. Stevenson said yesterday he does not plan to join the United States delegation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit con- ference In Paris this month, but he left the door open to an invi- tation. "I have not been invited and there hasn't been any discussion of that," the 1952-56 Democratic presidential nominee told reprot- ers. Stevenson said his job as Dem- ocratic adviser on the United States polity to be put forth at the Dec. 16-18 meeting of North At- lantic Treaty country leaders will be completed within another week or 10 days Then, he said, "I will go about my business." Whether Stevenson will be in- yited to the Paris meeting hasn't been decided, the State Depart- ment ,said. Stevenson spoke to newsmen after an hour-long meeting with House Speaker Sam Rayburn (D- Tex.). He said he briefed Rep. Ray- burn on North Atlantic Treaty matters likely to come up at a White House meeting Tuesday of congressional leaders, which Stev- enson has agreed to attend. Lincoln White, State Depart- ment press officer, said it's pos- sible that the question of an invi- tation to Stevenson to go to Paris may be decided after today's meet- ing, along with other aspects of his future as an adviser. T ech n ic ian s Find 'Bugs' I n Missile, CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (P)- Trouble was reported to have de- veloped yeterday in the second stage "brain" of the Vanguard rocket being readied for an at- tempt to propel an American baby moon into space. An informed United States Navy source said American technicians are working around the clock to clear the bugs out of the second stage which houses the control and guidance systems of the 72-foot rocket. Stage Not Tested This stage has not been tested previously. He described the trouble only as static in the electronic system. Unless eliminated, he said. this could cause the rocket to wobble in flight and force its destruction. In Washington, the Defense De- partment has emphasized there is no certainty the first sphere to be fired will start circling the earth. Not Prime Purpose Putting a satellite into orbit is not the prime purpose of the test "but of course such a result would be welcome because of the addi- tional data which could be gath- ered," the department said. The test is intended primarily to try out the complete launching equipment and to gather perform- ance data. A satellite put into an orbit 300 miles above the earth's surface could stay up for a year, calcula- tions indicate. The lower the height, the short- am .aaogqs aqg 'lltaq aaunt a. I time the satellite could stay aloft. . * * * * * * * -~A -r ti" ___.".~ ;JUggeiiLunl May Prevent qnatNuclear 58 Infltion ', Plant Reac Unionist Urges Wa ge Gray Tells Building Union New Policy Will Be Stabilizing ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (A) - A moratorium on demand's for wage increases during 1958 was sug- gested to the three and one-half million member AFL-CIO build- ing and construction trades de- partment yesterday. Department President Richard J. Gray said he was proposing this "unorthodox policy" because of inflation and its resulting shortage of money and cutbacks in construction. Cites Tight Money * He said the Eisenhower admin- istration is advocating a tight money policy which is aimed at slowing down construction. A one-year moratorium on wage increases, he said, would be a step toward stabilizing wage gains and "obtaining full e m p 16 y m e n t through increased production." In conjunction with the pro- posed moratorium he proposed creation of a building and con- struction industry committee to urge related industries such as lumber and cement to join in the wage increase suspension. It would also work out a pro- gram for increased production ac- tivity including an effort to force abandonment of tight money pol- icies. Addressed Group Gray made the remarks to the opening of the department's 49th regular convention representing 19 international unions, 593 local and county councils and 29 state councils. While construction has been one of the brighter spots in the 1957 business picture, many in the industry have been concerned' about a two-year lag in housing starts. It's estimated that builders would do well if they started work this year on one million non- farm homes. That would be a decline of 23 per. cent from the boom year of 1955 when 1.3 million homes were started, and the smallest total since 1948. Jenner May Resign Soon WASHINGTON ()- Rumors that Sen. William E. Jenner (R- Ind.) may resign this month in- stead of waiting for the end of his term early in 1959 led td brisk speculation about a successor yes- terday. Hoosier Republicans 'in Wash- ington spent a busy day filled with hurried conferences, telephone conversations and political gossip following Sen. Jenner's announce- ment in Indiana Saturday that he will not seek re-election. Reps. W. C. Bray and E. R. Adair indicated they would be re- ceptive to a senatorial bid. Indiana GOP congressional cir- cles reported Sen. Jenner may quit his Senate seat by the end of the year, with a close friend, Indiana's Gov. Harold W. Hand- ley, taking his place. To Create Ele'ctrici- S Freez * Fin~al Step Completed ByScienti -Photo Courtesy University News Service NEW GARDEN SITE-The University's Botanical Gardens will move to the '200 acre site outlined above. The land, donated, to the University by alumnus Frederick C. Matthaei, is bounded on the left by Dixboro Road. The easternmost boundary is Gale Road. It runs into Cherry Hill Road, repre- sented by the dotted line, which connects to Plymouth road at the top of the picture. New Site Given for Botanical gardens E E f x t 2 t 1 E By MICHAEL KRAFT The University's Botanical Gar- dens will soon be uprooted and transplanted. A gradual move from the pres- ent 40 acre location on Packard and Stadium to a 200 acre site near Dixboro is being made pos- sible by a land donation from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick C.:Mattaei. The new location, two and a * half miles east of North Campus between Dixboro and Gale Roads, just south of Plymouth Road, will permit the University to construct one of the finest botanical gar- dens in the nation, President Har- lan Hatcher "said Iriday in an- nouncing the gift. More, Better Facst~ties An expansion and improvement of research facilities will also be EXTENSION SERVICE: Michigan Lawmaker Urges Probe at MSU LANSING (P)-Michigan's youngest lawmaker today urged a "sweeping investigation" into operations of Michigan State University's agricultural extension service and experiment station. Rep. Russell H. Strange Jr. (R-Clare), 23-year-old graduate of Central Michigan College, also called for a check on lobbying activities of MSU officials pressing for legislative approval of budget requests. In a speech prepared for a Mt. Pleasant civic club; Rep. Strange said he had learned that the university's extension service and agri- provided by the move, Prof. A. G. Norman,; of the botany depart- ment and director of the Univer- sity Botanical Gardens said. No completion date has been set for the transfer but the main work, of planning and, constructing.the buildings and greenhouses should' take at least two years, Prof. Nor- man said.- The new area ias considerable variation in soil compared to thej present location, he said in de- scribing the site. Plans for dis- position of the Packard and Sta- dium site, used since 1914, have not yet been completed, President Hatcher said. Gain Natural Beauty In moving to the Dixboro loca- tion, 4.7 miles from Hill Auditori- um, according to Prof. Norman,, the University will gain an area of great natural beauty. The site, bordering both sides of Fleming Creek for about one-half mile al- ready contains many thousands of trees, artificial ponds and oth- er landscape 'features, he pointed out. "An attempt will be made to preserve much of the area's pres- ent condition, blending new plant- ings with those already there," he said. Many Garden Possibilities The site donated by Matthaei, a University alumnus, consists of wooded area, creek bottom, rolling hills and farmland, offering "at- tractive opportunities for garden development," Prof. Norman said.. "It will provide larger and more varied planting areas in a rural setting in keeping .with the Botan- ical Gardens concept," he said. "Our main goal will be to pro- tect the natural setting of the area while accommodating within It the greenhouse facilities and specimenplantings which arees- sential elements of Botanical Gar- dents," he said. No Target Date For Full Operatic Of Atomic Station SHIPPINGPORT, Pa.

Initial splitting of ur atoms at the historic Shii port plant marked the final step before production of mercial quantities of electric When nuclear-generated e city begins flowing to Y shops and factories in the burgh area, it will represe: longest forward stride y America's peace-time atom ergy program. No Definite Date The target date for full tion is indefinite, but is ex sometime before the end t year. The Shippingport reactor powerful in the country, is with 12 tons of natural ur (U-238) and 165 pounds of enriched uranium (U-235). It was started up at 4:3 for testing purposes. No elec was generated. Before the r is allowed to reach its mir operating capacity of 60,00( watts of electricity, exhi tests must be made for safe other factors.

TU' Prof essor Atom Scient 63, Suceuml APPROVES MEMBERSHIP SELECTION: NIC Defends National Fraternity Rights cultural experimental station had"°- spent money on programs "entirely unrelated to agriculture." Cites Examples ' As examples, he cited booklets published by the experiment sta- tion or the University Cooperative Extension Service carrying such titles as "entertaining at buffets,1 teas and parties," "You learn to knit," and "Indians, a study of the Hannahville Community." "These services may be nice, but when state government is so hard hit for money, we just can't afford them," Rep. Strange told a news- man in Lansing. "This is an ob- vious waste of state funds and these booklets duplicate informa- tion which is or could be furnished by private business." Legislative appropriations for the extension service and experiment station for 1957-58 totaled more than $3,700,000. Has Backing "The least they can do is spend the money for programs in the field in which it was appropriated," Rep. Strange said. The young lawmaker said he had won "considerable" support for his proposed investigation from fellow legislators and citizens from hisI home district of Clare and Isabella counties.
