'1949,was heavily guarded by 20

troop carriers when he went to
the palace in his bullet-proof car.
There was no substantiation of

Fails To Explain
There was no explanation of the
army's action in keeping troops
confined to their barracks, but
military headquarters bustled with
activity and officers were in battle
dress.
The activity coincided with a
warning by Isa Anshary, a leading
member of Masiumi, the biggest
Moslem party, that Indonesia has
been infiltrated by foreign Com-
munists who are seeking to over-
throw the eight-year-old republic.
Communists, he charged, were
trying to make "another Korea"
out of Indonesia and unless check-
ed they would bring a "great
calamity" to the Indonesian people.

of 'the 46,000 Dutch out of the

Dulles Goes

Conference
Ike To Leave Today
For Summit Meeting
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary
of State John oster Dulles took
off yesterday for the NATO meet-
ing in Paris and President Dwight
D. Eisenhower prepared to do the
same today. .
Dulles declined to make a de-
parting statement-he usually ha
one for reporters at the airport.
'I am just one of the President's
assistants. I am going now just to
do a little preparatory work before
he gets there."
Eisenhower met yesterday morn-
ing with the National Security
Council and the White House said
it could be assumed that some of
the topics taken up were among
those to be considered at the
summit meeting of the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization.
It was only Tuesday that Eisen-
hower's doctors settled the ques-
tion of whether he would attend
the Paris meeting. They said then
that his progress from his mild
stroke of Nov. 25 was such as to
permit the trip.
Eisenhower is to take off this
afternoon, take part in the NATO
meetings Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday and fly back Thursd'ay.
A State Department press officer,
Lincoln White, said yesterday there
will be serious consultations with
'United States allies on the letter
sent to Eisenhower by Premier
Bulganin Tuesday.

REP. GEORGE SALLADE
. asks leadership
Sallade Asks
for Greater
Leadership
By SUSAN HOLTZER
Rep. George W. Sallade (R-Ann
Arbor) last night called for "new
and vigorous leadership in the
state capital" at a meeting of the
Young Republican Club.
Sallade sharply criticized' "con-
ferences of governors that serve
well as a build-up for potential
presidential candidates, but re-
sult in neglect of the more .im-
mediate unpleasantries so self-
evident at home."
Declining mention of specific
names, Sallade said that "politi-
cians remaining too long in of-
fice finally convince themselves of
their own inlispensability."
Leads to Repetition
He said this leads to "repeti-
tious" legislative programs that
"insult 'the intellectual capacities
of the people with their obvious
impracticability and impossible
promises."
Sallade said. that re-election of
the same executive officers might
cause "government for two years
by a 'state house guard' while the
chief executive goes delegate-
hunting."
The Republican party, accord-
ing to Sallade, is facing, a "criti-
cal challenge" in the coming
months. He said the GOP must
demonstrate its capacity for lead-
ership with "concrete remedie of
a positive and constructive na-
ture" and a "sound approach to
stepping up economic develop-
ment" in the state. -
Needs Candidate
"To win the forthcoming
battle," Sallade said, "the Repub-
lican party needs a candidate who
has sufficiently separated himself
from the special economic inter-
ests that have hung like an alba-
tross around the neck of the GOP.
"At present," he continued,
"none of the so-called party
spokesmen fit this qualification."
Sallade himself is considered a
candidate for the Republican gu-
bernatorial nomination in 1958.
Outlines Platform
Sallade also outlined briefly his
legislative platform for the 1958
session, stressing his opposition
to any increase in college tuition.
He was strongly in favor o a
$4,000 minimum annual wage for
elementary school teachers and a
one dollar minimum hourly wage
for intra-state business.
In later action at the meeting,
the YR's elected Jerry Lutz, '59,
president for the coming year.
Ron Koss '58D, was clamed vice-
president, Fran Coulon, '59Ed,
treasurer and Barbara An Miller,
'61, and Sharon McKay, '61 were
elected Recording and Corre-
sponding Secretaries, respectively.

ATLANTIC CITY (IP)-The AFL-
CIO yesterday condemned the
Senate Rackets Investigating Com-
mittee as unfair, but pledged a
continuing drive to rid labor's
ranks of corruption.-
The federation wound .up its
convention by re-electing President
George Meany, who called on labor
to "stick to its knitting" in boost-
ing wages and organizing new
members.
If we organize well, if we bar-
gain well," Meany said, "we will
build. up the, standards. Out of
them will flow benefits to thecom-
munity and to society as a whole."
Oust Union
In final actions the convention
ousted the Laundry and Bakery
Workers unions on rackets and
corruption charges. Earlier in the
convention, the Teamsters were
similarly expelled.
These ousters reduced over-all
AFL-CIO membership from 15 mil-
lion to about 13% million,
A convention resolution blasted
the Senate committee headed by
Sen. John McClellan (D-Ark) for
lack of objectivity and fairness in
its hearings and failing to look for
corruption in business with the
same fervor as in labor.
Find Corruption Small
"Corruption within the Ameri-
can labor movement is but a small

part of the over-all problem in the
whole of our society," the resolu-
tion said.
"While acknowledging the
wrongdoings of a small 'minority
in the leadership of a few unions
we believe that objectivity requires
recognition that in a society over-
emphasizing material wealth more
corruption will be found in busi-
ness and industry."
The resolution singled out Sens.
Barry M. Goldwater (R-Ariz.),
Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb.) and Karl
E. Mundt (R-S.D,), members of
the McClellan committee, as being
politically motivated in harrassing
"clean and honest unions."

Re-elected with Meany as AFL-
CI officers were Secretary-Treas-
urer William Schnitzler arqd 25
vice presidents. Elected astnew'
vice presidents were Peter T.
Schoemann, Plumbers Union pres-
ident, and Paul L. Phillips, Paper
Workers president.
Meany, in accepting're-election,
said the convention had demon-
strated that while the AFL-CIO is
reluctant to oust corrupt unions
it will do so when there is no
other way to obtain necessar'y re-
fo'rms.
Ralph T. Fagan, Laundry Work-I
ers, appealed to the convention in
a futile effort to avoid his union's
expulsion.

M otormen Want Amn'esty
NEW YORK (A)-Striking subway motormen yesterday demanded
full amnesty as their price for ending a crippling four-day walkout.
They also insisted on a voice in collective transit bargaining.
They asked Mayor Robert E. Wagner to meet with them as soon
as possible to discuss their proposal, which they called "a fair basis
for settling the strike."
Offer Amnesty to Motormen'.
Earlier in the day, the Transit Authority offered the motormen
partial amnesty as the strike rapidly lost its impact. More lines were
returning to service and strikers by the score joined a back to work
movement. The strikers turned down the partial amnesty plan, which
would have enabled" the TA to fire

some of the motormen with' the
approval of an impartial referee.
"We shall not accept a take-it-
or-leave-it proposal," said strike
counsel Louis Waldman. "We shall
only accept one which is just for
all."
The strikers demanded a guar-
antee of no reprisals of any kind,
representation on a contract nego-
tiation committee and the right to
administer any collective bargain-
ing agreement for themselves.
Ask for Postponemient
They also asked that a bargain-
ing election scheduled for the
transportation system next Mon-
dany be postponed.
Cheering and applauding, the
strikers unanimously adopted the
proposals.
Over-all, service on the subways
was back to 611/2 per cent of nor-
mal, almost twice as good as it
was Tuesday at the height of the
strike.. Above and below ground,
the chaos that had gripped the
crippled city was subsicding.

T Stuent As 'objeetor'
A University student, accused of draft dodging, convinced a
United States District Judge today in Detroit that he should be
exempted from service in the armed forces as a conscientious objec-
tor, despite the fact that he belongs to no organized religion.
Peter S. Horst, '57, said he refused to be drafted because it would
violate his concept of love toward his fellow man - including an
enemy.
Federal Judge Ralph M. Freeman granted a motion for a judg-
ment of acquittal, saying that he could find no rational evidence sup-
porting the action of the National Selective Service Appeal Board
in refusing to give Horst status

Petitions for Joint Judiciary
Council may be. taken out now,
according to Bob Stahl, '58, Joint
Judic chairman.
Five one-year terms on Joint
Judic will ,be open, Stahl said. At
least two of these five must be
filled by 'women students.: Peti-
tions may be picked up in the Stu-
dent Activities Building from the
Office of Student Affairs. They
are due' Jan. 7.
Interviews for the posts will be
held in the evenings' from Jan. 7-9.

Judio and Student - Government
Council. Selections are subject to.
review- by SGC.
Name,:Requirements
Applicants for the positions must
be at least second-semester sopho-
mores who are academically eligi-
ble. Graduate students are also
eligible, Stathl said.
Joint 4udic meets one evening a
week to handle violations of Uni-
versity regulations by both indi-
viduals and groups. It serves as
the supreme court of the campus,
hearing cases which are appealed
to it from lower judiciary councils.
It, acts as a 'group ;of "student
"peers" having ;anunderstanding
of the student's responsibility to
the University. It also supervises'
elections.
Requires Loyalty
Positions on Joint Judie require
students who can reason intel-
ligently on particular infractions
of university regulations, and are
loyal to the University's good
name, Stahl said,
Joint Judic does not sit as a
court; rather it hears cases in
which 'violations have usually al-
ready been established and deter-
mines the seriousness of the of-
fense and the punishment.
It renders immediate decisions
on first offenses; while second of-
fense rulings must be approved by
the subcommittee on discipline,
composed of faculty and adminis-
tration members.

Horst, 25 years old, testified

By LEWIS COBURN
Meeting the Soviet threat in
natural science is the United
States' "immediate problem," but
the social sciences should not be
overlooked, Prof. Frank Grace of
the political science department
said yesterday.
Speaking at a Michigan Forensic
Forum discussion of "How Will
Sputnik Influence the Future of
Liberal Arts Education?" Prof.
trace expressed the hope that
natural science won't become the
"tail that wags the academic dog."
He said he was not sure social
science in this country has been

of an Ohio school which formerly
had four physics classes but now
has one. The blame, Prof. Angell
said, rested partially on parents
and school administrators.
He urged citizens to "get after"
their school boards to improve
course instruction.
Notes Questions
Commenting on a tendency to be
concerned solely with the practical
value of subjects, Prof. Grace noted
that questions such as "What can
you do with pol-itical science?" are
often asked.
Both he and Prof. Angell said
courses in the social sciences have
