Democrats Give Opinions
On Fiscal, Defense Plans
LABOR LEGISLATION:
Mitchell Sets Forth
i
WASHINGTON (M)-The Eisen-
hower administration got some as-
sorted advice on fiscal and defense
planning from Democratic leaders
yesterday, including a defnand
that it "get out of its dream
Qworld."
But the Democrats didn't agree
100 per cent on what should be
a done.
Sen. Richard Russell (D-Ga.)
approved the administration's de-
clared aim of a balanced budget
next year, while Sen. John Carroll
(D-Colo.) called for a little deficit
spending if that is necessary to
maintain full employment.
4alanced Budget
The Democratic floor leader in
4 the house, Rep., John McCormack
of Massachusetts, said in a state-
ment the Republicans are evidently
thinking of national defense in
terms of a balanced budget.
"As between a balanced budget
and a strong defense," he added,
"they had better think in terms of
a strong defense.
."We had better catch up with the
Soviets in the field of interconti-
nental missiles within the next
year.
"The democrats will cooperate.
World of Reality
"It is about time the adminis-
tration got out of its dream world
and into the world of reality.
"If anyone thinks the Soviets
will let us catch up with them if
they. have the advantage, they are
doing a disservice to our country."
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.)
called for an end to waste and1
nonessential expenditures to make
way for whatever increased spend-
ing may be necessary on modern
weapons.1
Anti-Racket Program,
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. OP) - The Eisenhower administration
yesterday took the wraps off its 1958 labor legislation program aimed
at smoking out crooks and racketeers from the labor movement.
It includes provision . for full disclosure of union funds, secret
ballot election of union officers, tightened bribery restrictions and
broad recommendations for revision of the Taft-Hartley Act.
The program was outlined in detail by Secretary of Labor James
Mitchell to the second constitutional convention of the AFL-CIO
and was greeted by polite applause from delegates.
The federation executive board will take up the ,program at its

FIRE FOLLOWS:
Georgia Gas Explosion
Kills 13, Injures 30,
VILLA RICA, Ga. (A) - At least 13 persons were killed and about
30 injured in an explosion and fire that leveled half a block in this
northwest Georgia town yesterday.
The number of dead could reach 15 or 16 as there was no definite
word as to the number of persons in the business establishments
and a second-floor dentist's office at the time.
The blast, which demolished a drug store, dress shop, 10-cent
store, jewelry and florist shop, was attributed by Asst. Police Chief
H. G. Black to a faulty gas line in the basement of the drug store.
Oscar Hixon, superintendent of the municipally owned gas system,
was working on the line at the
In a speech prepared for the
National Assn. of Manufacturers
in New York, Sen. Byrd said: "Our
military danger is great, no doubt,
but further to imperil our national
security by impairment of our fis-
cal stability and loss of confidence
in our government would be over-
whelming."
Warned on Increase
Sen. Byrd warned that an in-
crease in total expenditures for
the present fiscal year, 'ending next
June 30, would spell a deficit.
He said he had just received a
new estimate that revenues for the
year will be $1,300,000,000 less than
the Budget Bureau figured in Oc-
tober.
The latest figures, he said, came
from Colin F. Stam, head of the
staff of the Senate-House Com-
mittee on Internal Revenue Taxa-
tion, and are based on reports of'
declining corporate profits in re-
cent months.
"This will mean," Sen. Byrd
said,, "that the estimated surplus
of one and one-half billion dollars
will be reduced to 200 million, as-
suming expenditures are not in-
creased."
President Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er's plans to meet Russia's chal-
lenge in the military and scientific
fields were outlined to congres-
sional leaders at two White House
briefings this week.k
The administration proposes, ac-
cording to word from legislators,
to spend an extra two and one-
half billion dollars on defense and
foreign aid.
Votes To Aid
Integration
The Graduate Student Council
last night passed a resolution sup-
porting the efforts of student
groups seeking to promote "volun-
tary ethnic integration" in Univer-
sity Residence Halls.
. The resolution called this goal
"a worthy one" and asked the
University's administration to co-
operate "to the fullest extent" with
these groups.
The Council also appointed a
committee to study the University's
policies on granting parking per-
mits to graduate students working
for the University as full-time em-
ployees.
One delegate to the council re-
marked he could see "no logical
- reason why a full-time instructor
cannot get a parking permit when
a secretary can."
The Councilriscomposed of rep-
resentatives from the nearly 70
departments in the University
which offer advanced degrees
through the Horace Rackham
School of Graduate Studies.
"Of course, not all of the de-
partments got around to sending
representatives and some of the
departments don't have any degree
candidates at the moment." John
Burch, Grad., president of the
Council said. It lists representa-
tives from 38 departments. at the
present time.
The Council, which meets once'
a month in the Rackham Bldg.,
has no direct connection with Stu-
dent Government Council other
than being a recognized student
organization.
Joe Collins, '58, SGC presi-+
dent, said he thought a group as
large as the graduate students on
campus should be represented on
SGC and that one method of ob-
taining representation would be
through the Graduate Student
Council.
U Professor
MCCotter Dies
Professor-emeritus Rollo E. Mc-
Cotter of the Medical School died
Wednesday of a heart attack at
his Lawrence, Mich., farm home.
The 79 year old anatomy spe-
cialist had retired in 1947 follow-
ing a career in education with 39
years at the University and serv-
time.
He was killed.
Hundreds of rescue workers
from surrounding communities
helped to dig through the rubble
and debris in the search for
bodies.
Some of them were burned so
badly' they could be identified
only by dental work.
Two bodies still were not iden-
tified.%
Ray Tyson, 39, a clerk in the
drug s:tore, said he was behind
the soda fountain when the ex-
plosion came about 11 a.m.
"I thought a bomb had hit the
place," he said.

ToMcGill
By DON DRESCHER
McGill University will provide
the opposition as the Michigan
hockey squad opens its 1957-58
season tonight at the Coliseum in
the first of a two-game series
with the Canadians.
This is the first Wolverine home
sporting event of the winter sea-
son.
The meeting will be the eleventh
time a ,Michigan team has skated
against the Redmen. To date in
the series the Wolverines have
won seven times while losing
three.
New Coach
'Tonight will mark the first time
the Wolverines have taken the ice
under the direction of Coach Al
Renfrew, former Michigan star
forward on the championship
team of 1948. However, Renfrew is
not new at coaching, having spent
five years at Michigan Tech and
a year at' North Dakota before re-
turning to his Alma MXater this
season.
The Redmen have much of their
scoring punch back this year in-
cluding veterans Leo "The _Can-
non" Konyk and Dick Baltzan.
Another holdover. from last sea-
son is Keith Lawes, the third
member of the 'forward unit. Mike
Joyal will tend the nets for the
visitors.
IYoung Squad
The Wolverines are faced with
the problem of a young squad,
with only seven lettermen r'eturn-
ing while eleven men were lost' by
graduation. Of the seven, five are
juniors, with but one year of ex-
perience. The two seniors, Captain
Neil McDonald and Ed Switzer,
will comprise the front line along
with Sophomore Steve Bochen.
Backing them up are Don Mc-
Intosh, Gary Starr, and Bob
White, all of who are sure to see
plenty of action. Ross Childs, who
took over the netminding duties
after the graduation of Lorne
Howes last January, will be in
goal for the Wolverines.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. () --
Another effort to launch the Van-
guard rocket will be made today
and the deputy director of the pro-
ject said last night there is "a
good chance" that it will boost the
American "moon" into orbit
around the world.
"We are in a materially better
position than we were .yesterday,"
said youthful J. Paul Walsh of the
Office of Naval Research.

SOUTH QUAD MOTION:
Inter-House Council Accepts
Executive Evaluation Report
The Inter-House Counpil yesterday voted to accept the IHC
executive board evaluation report called for in the South Quadrangle
evaluation motion passed Nov. 14.
University housing director Peter A. Ostafin later in the meeting
discussed University housing policies designed to increase residence
hall space to accommodate 10,350 students by 1962: The present
capacity is 6,750. Ostafin said that the present program calls for
construction of a ;new residence
Wednesday in room 3S of the
Union. Undergraduate and gradu-
ate students who are interested
should have a good knowledge of
current events, a reasonable scho-
lastic average, an active knowledge
of Asian problems and the ability
to work with groups and actively
participate in discussions, accord-
ing to Margaret Quick, '58, SEAD
chairman.
Enrollment in specific classes is
not a requirement as previously
announced, Miss Quick said yes-
terday.
The committee's goal is'to send
a delegation of. six university stu-
dents this summer to visit many
of the Southeast Asian countries-
their towns, colleges, industries,
agricultural developments, and
their people-in an effort to in-.
crease greater understanding of
both Asian and American prob-
lems, and cultures.
"Lack of funds has not put a
damper on the committee's efforts
tion," Miss Quick said. "Although
we have been thus far totally un-
have been thus far totally un-
successful in getting funds from
foundations, we now feel that
there are many other possible
sources of funds such as industrial
groups and interested alumni and
friends, and we are going ahead,
with our organizational plans,"
Miss Quick said.
Present plans call for the selec-
tion of six student delegates who
will be accompanied by a faculty
adviser.
S"Thiswould be the first student
delegation from an American uni-
versity to visit Southeast Asia, and
presents a fine opportunity for the
University of Michigan to lead in
a vital field of international rela-
tions," Miss Quick concluded..
Had Ruled
The Dutch until 1949 ruled the
3,000 East Indies islands now
known as Indonesia.
They still have a billion-dollar
business empire in the republic.

Indonesia, though two-thirds are

Firemen hacked at the wreckage
by the light of flares and arc

. Piles of gaily wrapped Christ-

agreed on whether any more bod-

SATELLITE BUILDER:
Doubling Defense Spending
Advocated by Industrialist
The United States could probably double its defense spending
"with little more economic dislocation than occurred during the
Korean War," Detroit industrialist E. Howard Perkins said last night.
Speaking to the 19th annual study conference of the Michigan
Bankers Association, Perkins said raising the defense spending from
$40 to $80 billion may be necessary "if we face up to the fact that

winds so strong they might have
twisted or toppled the rocket in
flight.
After hours of exhausting work
on the Vanguard Wednesday,
Walsh said, the sleek, 72-foot
moon-launching vehicle is nearer
to the m e c h a n i c a 1 perfection
which must be achieved before the
blastoff.
Favorable Winds
Adding to his optimism was an
Air Force forecast that winds will
be favorable for a shooting today.
"I think the chances that we
will launch are pretty good,"
Walsh said. "We have launched
three test vehicles - separate
stages of the three-part Vanguard
-and each one met or exceeded
the expected performance.
"We did this by not lighting the
fuse until we felt that chances
were excellent that it would go.
"There is a good chance that
our moon will go into orbit.
"If it doesn't, we'll know why It
doesn't, and we'll learn."
If new mechanical troubles do
not crop up, the 22,000-pound
Vanguard will roar skyward dur-
ing the daylight hours, carrying
the tiny satellite with a radio
voice in its nose cone.

IFC Fines
Fraternities
For. Violation
Inter-Fraternity Council's Exec-
utive Committee fined four fra-
ternities $25 each last night for
failing to observe IFC rushing
counselor rules.
Alpha Delta Phi, Sigma Phi,
Zeta Beta Tau and Psi Upsilon
were ruled in violation of an IFC
by-law stating that each fraternity
must select two members to serve
as rushing counselors during the
rushing period.
A $10 suspension was included
in the motion with the stipulation;
that the fraternity must partici-
pate actively' in future rushing
programs.
Rob Trost, '58, IFC president,
commented on the recent Big Ten

mendation that discriminatory
practices be eliminated at all edu-
cational institutions. He cited the
fact that fraternities here having
"discriminatory clauses" only

He cited as an example Mary1
Markley Hall, which is planned for
opening next fall with 1200 spaces.
Although University enrollment
may increase, Ostafin explained,
the present one-third percentage
of students living in residence halls
may diminish with increase in the
number of graduate students and
commuters.
Details of the evaluation report
included recommendations to
change the IHC committee struc-
ture by making publicity, scholar-
ship, and house services standing
committees and providing for cre-
ation of special committees.
