EAST LANSING-Michigan State's inspired hockey team over-
came 36 years of frustration against Michigan last night when it
defeated the Wolverines, 4-2, before 2,378 fans.'
The victory was the first for the Spartans in 35 gaines against
Michigan.
The loss virtually eliminated Michigan's chances of qualifying for
the NCAA playoffs to be held in March.
Delayed by Fight
Midway through the second period the game was delayed for 20
minutes when a fight broke out between players from both squads.
Four men, two from each team, received five minute penalties for
fighting.

Committee
To Study
Bias Rules
By JOHN WEICHER
Student Government Council
last night established a commit-
tee to study progress in removing
fraternity and sorority member-
ship restrictions.
The committee, to consist of two
members of both Panhellenic As-
sociation . and Inter-Fraternity
Council and three SGC members
will report back to the Council on
March 26.
The vote in favor of the com-
mittee was 10 to five, with one
abstention.
Trost Objects
The composition of the com-
mittee was altered from six Coun-
cil members to the final plan on
an amendment by Lois Wurster,
'60.
IFC President Rob Trost, '58,
objected to the motion on the
ground it did not specify what in-
formation the committee would be
seeking. Ron Gregg, '60, co-spon-
sor of the motion, suggested that
the committee could study
changes in the bias clauses over
the past five years, as well as
progress in changing attitudes
through education.
A motion concerning the edu-
cational value of final examina-
tions asking that they be gener-
ally available to students, was re-
ferred to the Education and So-
cial Welfare Committee, which
will discuss the matter before next
week's meeting.
Progress Report Heard
SGC also heard a progress re-
port from Student Book Exchange
Manager Phil Zook, '60. Zook said
collections of books would be made
from Jan. 20 to Jan. 25 In Mason
H all and the Student Activities
Bldg., with the SBX open for two
weeks beginning Feb. 3, in the
SAB basement.
Treasurer Scott Chryslei,
'59BAd., reported to the Council
on the Student Health Insurance
program. At present, 4,683 stu-
dent policies have been issued. In-
surance will also be available for
the period from March to Sep-
tember on a pro-rated basis, he
said.
Labor Goals
lDiscussion Set
For Tonight
A panel discussion on "The Eco-
nomic and Political Aims of Or-
ganized Labor" will'be the feature

ing at 8:30 p.m. today in Rm.
3KLM of the Michigan Union.
Panelists will be Edward Cush-
man, Lawrence Rogin and Frank
Marquart who are all experienced
in the field of labor relations.
According to Ned McClennen, '59,
the club's publicity director, the
trio will discuss various aspects
of the current problems and as-
pirations of organized labor.
Cushman, a University alumnus,
is Vice-President in Charge of
Industrial Relations for American
Motors Corp.
Rogin was an official observer
at the recent AFL-CIO convention,
on which he will comment.

two marked characteristics of
Soviet research, according to Prof.

WASHINGTON R) - Theesti-
mated cost of -the nation's 41,000-
mile superhighway program has
jump5ed 10 billion dollars, Con-
gress was told yesterday.
This could mean an eventual in-
crease in highway user taxes or a
delay in completing the program.
In making the report to Con-
gress, Secretary of Commerce Sin-
clair Weeks said he is not propos-
ing any tax changes'at this time.
Neither did he call for taking
more time' to carry out the vast
" expressway plan.
Instead, Weeks suggested these
matters can wait a few years un-
til more miles of new roads are
built and cost estimates based- on
greater experience become more
accurate.
Weeks said the cost of the in-
terstate road network is now esti-
mated at 37/2 billion dollars and
indicated the figure may go high-
er. This compares with an esti-
mate of 272 billion when Con-
gress set up the program 19
months ago.
The original plan was to build
the roads in 13 years, with the
federal government paying 90 per
cent of the cost.

appointed members to five self-
evaluating committees last night.
The committees will look into
areas in which SGC could be

Teetor Calls
For TaxmCut
To Halt Dip,
WASHINGTON ') - A former
administration official told Con-
gress yesterday that confiscatory
federal taxes are a major cause of
the present economicf slump..
He called for an immediate tax
cut to check any further business
downturn.
Lothair Teetor, assistant secre-
tary of commerce for domestic af-
fairs from 1953 to 1955, said Con-
gress should not wait too long be-
fore tax reform is decided upon
and put into effect.
"There is grave danger we will
wait until a recession gets deep
to do something about it," he de-
clared.
Teetor, now an Indiana busi-
nessman, testified as spokesman
for the Indiana State Chamber of
Commerce before the House Ways
and Means Committee which is
studying possible tax law revision.
He contended federal income
and death taxes are leading a
drift into socialism by drying up
sources of business and risk capi-
tal.
"We are economically strong to-
day, but there are unmistakable
signs of weakness in our country
that must be recognized and dealt
with before the weakness becomes
a deep-seated disorder," he said.
"First of all, we think there
should be an immediate and sub-
stantial reduction in the highly
progressive income tax rates as a
move to check the recession and
restore business confidence."
Neither the administration nor
congressional leaders favor tax
reduction at this time. New de-
fense spending and the prospect
of a possible budget deficit this
year have all but canceled out tax
cutting plans.
Pace Honored
In Little Rock
<WIHL, and Ross Hudson were
automatically ejected from the
game. Hudson also drew a 10 min-
ute misconduct penalty.
Michigan State dominated the
action from the start, but because
of the outstanding play of Michi-
gan goalie Ross Childs, it was not
able to score until 16 minutes of
play had gone by.
MacKenzie Scores
Bill MacKenzie, a junior from
Calgary, Alberta, scrambled for a
loose puck in front of the Michi-
gan net. He finally gained posses-
sion of it and shot it past Childs
who' was completely screened out
on the play.
The Wolverines looked exceed-
ingly stale throughout much of
the first period, showing the effects
of an 18,day layoff from compe-
tition.
An indication of the flare-up
that was to occur in the second
period came three minutes after
the first MSU score.
No Icing
A Spartan defenseman shot the
puck from deep in his own zone
across both blue lines. Hudson,
one of the Wolverine defensemen,
touched the puck against the end
boards in the Michigan zone for
what he thought would be called
icing.
But neither official signalled ic-
ing, and while Hudson attempted
to tray the puck against the
boards, Terry Moroney, one of the

PROF. GOMBERG
... explains Russia science
sible for the research, the Acad-
emy of Science in Moscow, is not
only in control of all Russian
research, but it is second in power
only to the Communist Party, as
well."
He explained that in Russia re-
search in any area is clearly de'-
fined, highly organized, and speci-
fically assigned.
Prof; Gomberg, who visited
Russia last spring, emphasized
that this, along with unlimited
funds and manpowe. allows the
Soviets to specialize intensely on
particulAr research projects.
"As a result they can and are
undertaking difficult and extensive
experiments and completing them
with amazing speed," he contin-
ued.
He said, however, that this has
caused an "almost complete lack
of competition between scientists,"
as well as explosive results when
two agencies of top scientists dis-
agree violently on what course to
follow.
In extreme instances "whoever
loses the argument or jurisdiction
may be purged," he noted, "and
if the winner happens to be wrong
a great deal of time is lost getting
back on the right track."

Russian Summit Talks
Pointless Says ulles
WASHINGTON (M-)-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told
congressmen emphatically yesterday there is no point now in holding
new summit talks with the Russians.
Both Democratic ahd Republican members of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee seemed to agree with Dulles on this point after a
three-hour secretbriefing, which also touched on most other major
internationial issues.
Committee members gave reporters a partial fill-in on the testi-
mony. It was apparently a harmonious meeting. Dulles will appear

tions Committee today.r

Probably Will Ask
$40 Billion To Insure
Defense Supremnacy,
WASHINGTON () - Amid
clamor in Congress about the na-
tion's defenses, President Dwight
D. Eisenhower will deliver today!
a State of the Union message that
could be as crucial as any in
United States history. The annual
report will be delivered in person
at 12:30 p.m. today.
In delivering his message, Eisen-
hower Will speak for perhaps 45
minutes. His address will be tele-
vised and broadcast by all the
major networks. The Senate and
House will meet jointly to hear
him.
Defense Emphasized
All signs indicate the President
would strive to assure the free
world that the United States de-
fense. position is not nearly as bad
as some crlitics picture it, and that
all needed steps will be taken to
win the race with the Soviets.
It has already been established
that President Eisenhower plans
to ask for around 40 billn dollars
to spend on defense next year.
This compares with 38 billion
budgeted for this year, which now
stands to be increased to .39%
billion.
- Nixon Speaks
Vice-President Richard M.Nixon
provided what could well be a tip
that President Eisenhower will take
a reassuring position when he
speaks of what must be done.
Nixon said in a speech at Phila-
delphia that it makes no sense to
say that America is weaker than
Russia, that the Strategic Air
Force is obsolete, or that this
country's scientists are inferior.
He said that a smug and over-
confident America could fallsbe-
hind Russia, and then added: "But
I can assure the American people
that under the leadership of Pres-
ident Eisenhower we are not going
.o let that happen."
Gavin - Gets
Retirement
Approval
WASHINGTON (f')-Wilbur M.
Brucker, secretary of the Arn r,
announced yesterday he is reluc-
tantly approving" Lt. Gen. James
M. Gavin's request for retirement
from the Army.
The Pentagon official said he
had tried once more to get the
general to change his mind, even
after Gavin had informed the
Senate Preparedness subcommittee
today that his decision to retire
was final.
Gavin had announced last week-
end that he planned to retire be-
cause he was in basic disagree-
ment with several Defense De-
partment policies.
He told the Senate subcommittee
yesterday the Army's position is
deteriorating rapidly and "I can't
get anything done" about it.
Speech Set
Prof. Wolfgang Stolper of the
economics department will- be the
featured speaker at the political
Science Roundtable at 8 p.m. to-
night in Rackham Assembly Hall.
Prof. Stolper will discuss "West
Germany- and Competitive Co-
Existence."
EXPERT ON BRAINWASHING:
Eugene Kinkead of 'The New Yorke
By BRUCE COLE
"I am interested in people and why they act the way they do,"
Eugene Kinkead, who will speak on "brainwashing," said
Kinkead, an editor and a writer for "The New Yorker," arrived
in Ann Arbor yesterday to speak on "brainwashing" of the American
prisoners of war by the Chinese in the Korean War in connection with
an article he wrote for the Oct. 26, 1957 issue of "The New Yorker."
He will speak at 8:30 p.m. today in Aud. B, Angell Hall. The
editor will also participate in a panel discussion on the same topic
at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Aud. B, Angell Hall as part of the Psychol-
ogy Colloquium series. Both are open to the public.
Although not a professional psychologist, Kinkead said he was
interested in why 21 American prisoners defected to the Communists,
and felt the matter should be investigated. He approached the Army
and asked for full cooperation. Kinkead received this cooperation
after a wait of one year, and it took him another year to gather all
his information.
