Rocket
Comng
LONDON ()-The Moscow radio
broadcast yesterday a prediction
by a Soviet scientist that the Soviet
Union will send anrocket to the
moon within the next 18 to 24
months.
Prof. K. Stanyukovich of the
Soviet Commission for Interplane-
tary Travel said the necessary ve-
locity to escape the earth's gravi-
tational grip, a Velocity of about
seven miles a second, can be
achieved by adding one or two
stages to modern ballistic rockets.
The two Soviet Sputniks now
circling the earth were launched
at a velocity of about five miles a
second.
Stanyukovich wrote in a maga-
zine article quoted in the broad-
cast that the first moon rockets
probably willcarry a powerful ex-
plosive whose flare on the moon's
surface could be seen from the
earth.
Physicists Say
British Make
Big Advances
PALO ALTO, Calif. (') - Two
University of California physicists
said Sunday the British have made
"significant advances" toward us-
ing the power of thermonuclear
reaction.
Commenting on the British de-
velopments were Dr. Edward Tel-
l1r and an associate, Dr. Stirling
Colgate. Colgate returned recent-
ly from Great Britain's radiation
laboratory at Harwell.
The British scientists' progress
is "extremely good news, Teller
said.
"The British have mWade a sig-
nificant contribution 'to the ulti-
mate uttainment of thermonuclear
power," said Colgate, who is with
the California Radiation Labora-
tory at Livermore.
Teller and Colgate said they
could not disclose just what prog-
ress theEnglish made because of
security regulations. They spoke
at a press conference.
"We are flying all sorts of
kites," Teller said. "The British
have something. They have a good
kite, but I won't explain what
kind of a kite."

Of NATO
Bretton Urges Reply
To Bulganin's Letter
By RICHARD CONDON
Prof. Tnis L. Claude of the poli-
tical science department called
yesterday's proceedings at 'the
NATO conference, "not at all un-
expected."
"Obviously our Western allies
are quite concerned. They are
looking for reassurance and this
is merely an expression of that,"
he said.
Prof.hHenry L. Bretton, also of
the political science department,
said that "governments concerned
are under domestic political pres-
sure."
Cites German Problems
Referring specifically to Gei-
many, Bretton added that "Aden-
auer would be willing toaccept
U.S. proposals but he is not pre-
pared to force this issue upon an
unwilling parliament."
Referring to himself as "an out-
sider looking in," Prof. Bretton
said "NATO members are of the
opinion that the United States
possesses adequate military power
to retaliate Soviet aggression"
This is inclined to create a feel-
ing that an atomic stockpile in
Europe is unnecessary, since the
Strategic Air Command is the pri-
mary weapon to date, Prof. Bretton
added.
"If the Strategic Air Command
is our only weapon at this time,
we have traveled with an empty
suitcase." The purpose of the meet-
ing would appear, therefore, to be
that of a "morale builder."
U.S. Policy Criticized
Commenting on the Macmillan
proposal that a reply should be
made to Bulganin's letter Prof.
Bretton said, "In principle, I be-
lieve we should reply to the Soviet
letter. A position should have been
,taken by the United States prior to
the dispatch of the Bulganin. let-
ter."
Similarly Prof. Claude said, "We'
are under pressure from Western
allies to show that we are willing
to test the seriousness of the Rus-
sian proposals."
Though both professors advo-
cated the renewal of peace talks
with the Soviet Union, the admin-
istration formally denounced Bul-
ganin's White House addressed
letter as repetitious propaganda.
In the past the United States has
often received similar notes from
top Russian officials but in gener-
alal they have been ignored.
'Meeting Indicates Unity'
"NATO has been in need of re-
building for at least a year,"'said
Claude. "I believe this to be an;
opportune time for such a con-;
ference, however, we can negotiate
seriously without necessarily gath-
ering foreign ministers."
The meeting in itself is indica-
tive that there is a great urgency
among Western allies. Prof. Claude
said, "We have good reason for1
creating the feeling that peace is
not just around the corner."

NATO WARNED:
Indonesia Cautions
Against Intervention,
JAKARTA, Indonesia WIP-Indonesia warned anew last night that
intervention by NATO in this government's dispute with the Nether-
lands would "widen the cleavage between the Western and Eastern
nations."
Secretary General Suwito Kusunowidagdo of the Indonesian For-
eign Ministry said NATO nations should be careful "not to be carried
away" by Dutch moves in NATO against Indonesia's claim to Dutch
West New Guinea.
"If the Dutch succeed in getting NATO to intervene in our present
crisis," the secretary general said, "the Afro-Asian nations will have
to consider what further actions

Pharmacist
"Whitney,63
Dies Sunday
Harvey A. K. Whitney, former'
University chief pharmacist, died
at University Hospital Sunday at
the age of 63.
Whitney received his pharmacy
degree from the University in 1923,
began teaching pharmacy here in
1925 and became chairman of the
department in 1927.
He established the first intern-
ship program for hospital pharma-
cists here in 1929, and was instru-
mental in the establishment of the
American Society of Hospital
Pharmacists, becoming its first
president in 1942.
The Harvey A. K. Whitney Lec-
ture Award, set up by the Michi-
gan Society of Hospital Pharma-
cists, was established in honor of
his outstanding work in the field.
Whitney was vice-president of
the American Pharmaceutical As-
sociation, president of the Michi-
gan Board of Pharmacy and repre-
sentative of the National Associa-
tion of Ioards of Pharmacy.
He was also a member of Rho
Chi, pharmaceutical honor society,
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, the
American Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion and the American Society of
Hospital Pharmacists.
Whitney is survived by his wife,
Hildreth Katherine Whitney, a
son, Harvey Whitney, Jr., '59Ph,
a daughter, a brother, a sister and
two grandchildren.
Cypriots Stage
De monstration
NICOSIA, Cyprus P) -- Greek
Cypriots staged demonstrations
and walked out of schools, shops
and factories yesterday protesting
the United Nations refusal to ap-
prove their bid for self-determina-
tion.
Some islanders said strikes and
shutdowns met with only partial
success because they were inspired
by leftists protesting the shooting
of a worker Sunday in a clash
with British troops.

to take against the colonial pow-
ers."
At yesterday's opening of the
NATO summit meeting in Paris,
Dutch Prime Minister, Willem
Drees called attention to "the very
serious situation in Indonesia." Al-
though he did not ask specifically
for NATO intervention he remind-
ed the conference that the NATO
Permanent Council gave the Dutch
"much valued assurances of soli-
darity" 10 days ago.
At that time, a Dutch spokes-
man said measures for solidarity
could man anything from supply-
ing ships in order to evacuate the.
Dutch from Indonesia to "freezing
or blocking Indonesia, deposits in
NATO countries."
Drees accused the Indonesian
government of "unprecedented
acts of spoilation," and said it'
was clear why countries like In-
donesia "had the full support of
the Russiian and Chinese Commu-
nists."
In her pressure campaign to win
possession of Dutch West New
Guinea, Indonesia has ordered all
nonworking Dutchmen -out of this
country. The government also has
started a takeover of Dutch firms.
Honor System
Meeting Today
Tlie proposed literary college
honor system will be open to the
student body for discussion to-
night at 7:30 p.m. in the 3rd floor
conference rm, of the Union.
"The purpose' of the meeting is
to give all students an opportunity
to learn more about the proposal
and to comment on the feasibility
of such a program in the literary
college," literary college Steering
Committee chairman Leslie Dietz,
'58, said.
Speakers will include Prof. Ro-
bert Blood of the sociology de-
partment, Prof. Elton McNeil of
the psychology department and
Ron Gregg, '80, of the Student
Government Council. Miss Dietz
will be the moderator.
The proposed honor system has
as its aim the gradual abolishment
of proctored examinations in the
literary college. The student body
will soon be given an opportunity
to vote on whether or not to re-
quest the Administrative Board of
the literary college to agree to a
trial program.
Students will be given an oppor-
tunity to voice their individual
opinions after the proposed honor
system has been reviewed by the
guest speakers. Refreshments will
also be served.

ECONOMISTS:
See Farm
Surpluses
Continued
WASHINGTON (P)-A group of
economists, yesterday foresaw nd
early improvement in the present
farm economy of overproduction
and low prices.
They generally were optimistic
about agriculture's long range
prospects.
- - They told a Senate-ousse eco-
nomic subcommittee that popula-
tion increases, a higher per capita
consumption of food, and diet
changes may reasonably -be ex-
pected to bring supply and demand
near balance in another 20 years
or so.
Surpluses Called Chronic
For the next five or 10. years,
however, they viewed farm produc-
tion surpluses as a chronic rather
than temporary problem unlikely
to yield to present remedies.
The farm economists were wit-
nesses at hearings on agricultural
policy and general farm problems.
James T. Bonnen, Michigan
State University economist, said
total food consumption may be
expected to increase about 20 per
cent in the next 10 years while
farm production goes up 25 to 30
per cent.
Predicts More Production
The possibility of even bigger
farm production within the next
two decades was put forward by
Glenn L. Johnson, another Michi-
gan State economist.
"Despite the surpluses which are
in prospect for the next few years,
farm output will have'to expand
25 to 40 per cent in less than 20
years," he testified.
"This expansion exceeds, in ,ab-
solute terms, any previous expan-
sion of the United States farm
economy for any similar period of
time. And at the end of these 20
years the farm economy will have
to be prepared to continue to ex-
pand its output.".
Two Department of Agriculture
economists shared an optimistic
view of long-range farm prospects
but only if farmers can work their
way out of the present surplus
situatior\.
Carl W. Heisig, director of the
Farm Economics Research Divi-
sion, said the possibility of in-
creased demand may be expected
during the next generation, but
added that "the current problems
of unbalance may continue to be
acute, at least during the next
five to ten years."

'ENSIAN COMMITTEE:
Board To Discuss Problems

By BROOKE TOMPKINS
The Michiganensian committee of the Board in Control of Student
Publications will meet Friday morning to discuss individual colleges of

The law school has published its own yearbook for several years,
according to Ensian Managing Editor Carey Wall. Last year the
medical school also published one,

person Compares College, Living Costs

By JAMES SEDER
"'The cost of going to college has increased more rapidly than the
general cost of living," Prof. Algo D. Henderson said last night at a
symposium on "The Student and the Increasing Cost of Education,"
sponsored by the Inter-House Council,
Prof. Henderson asserted that the bulk of this additional expense
was caused by the high cost of room and board. Part of the solution
might be the expansion of public community colleges, he said.
Rep. James Warner (R-Ypsilanti) said, "The basic problem is
not whether tuition costs = are too high or too low, but where the
additional money to pay for higher education is going to come from.
