e reunification of Germany
t very likely under present
nstances Prof. Wolfgang Stol-
f the economics department
nented as he addressed a poli-
science roundtable last night.
eaking on "West Germany
Competitive Co-existence,"
Stolper stressed the basic
)mic divergencies of both

pleted.
He served notice that his pro-
posed 1958-59 "austerity" budget
will call for expenditures above
the 341 million dollar general fund
appropriat'ion level fixed for
1957-58.
Need Inescapable
The need for this, he said, is in-
escapable as a result of rising
school enrollments, new state hos-
pital staffing requirements, com-
mitments already made for the
support of Wayne State Univer-
sity and similar demands.
Reaction of majority Republi-
cans generally was skeptical, al-
though some said they saw no way
of avoiding a. higher spending
level next fiscal year.
Saying the stat'e must learn to
live within its income, Sen. Elmer
R. Porter added "The Republican
leaders have been concerned with
killing the goose that laid the
golden egg."
Expenditures Will Increase
Rep. Allison Green (R-King-
ston) GOP majority leader in the
House, and Rep. Arnell Engstrom
(R-Traverse City), House Ways
and Means Committee chairman,
said increased expenditures ap-
peared inevitable.
Rep. Harry J.Phillips (R-Port
Huron), declining to be pinned
down, said "In my personal life, I
have to cut' the cloth to meet the
situation. I think the government
will have to do the same thing."
As to the need for a 21 million
dollar increase in the intangibles
tax, opinion was widely scattered
and in some quarters violent in
opposition.
Requests Solution
Rep. William Romaho, (D-Van
Dyke), vowed he would never vote
for such a proposal regardless of
party considerations, and called
for. a more "equitable" solution.
After receiving the Governor's
message, the lawmakers quit until
Monday night.
Gov. Williams devoted the first
half of his message to reviewing
the state's present financial plight,
and the bleak outlook for 1958-59.

Investigator

Miss ile Plant
WASHINGTON (-Sen. Lyn-
don B. Johnson (D-Tex. said
yesterday the Senate investigation
of the nation's missile-space flight
program is showing "many
strengths-presumably still secret
weapons-as well as weaknesses.
Sen. Johnson, chairman of the
Senate Preparedness subcommittee
conducting the inquiry, told
reporters: "In emphasizing our
shortcomings and deficiencies, it
is well to bear in mind that we
have done some things our folks
don't know about. We have many
strengths that should and will be,
emphasized, too."
He declined to elaborate.
His statement came after his
subcommittee had devoted most.
of the day to hearing testimony
from the top Air Force missile
officer who said, among other
in outer space within "a foresee-
able time."
The testimony was given behind
closed doors by Ma. Gen. Bernard
A. Schriever, commanding the Air
Force Ballistics Missiles Division,
and announced by the subcom-
mittee.
The subcommittee released a
terse three-paragraph statement
on Schriever's testimony at an
afternoon session, including his
opinion on outer space combat.
It quoted Schriever as saying,
"The Air Force has had a 'space
program' for more than a decade."

New University Regents Donald
Thurber and Carl Brablec agreed
last night there should be no ad-
ditional financial hurdles placed
in the way of the out of state stu-
dent.
However, Regent Thurber point-
ed out that the University was
subsidizing out-state students to
a greater degree than most mid-
western universities. The two re-
gents took part in a brief informal
question and answer period at last
night's Inter-House Council meet-
ing.
Both Regents stressed that
neither they nor the other Re-
gents wanted to be isolated from
the students. They said it was part'
of the function of student organi-
zations to make known their ideas
and opinions to the Regents.

Court Rules Government
Must Produce Documents
WASHINGTON (AP)-The United States Court of Appeals ruled
yesterday the government must produce material documents, in-
cluding FBI reports, in proceedings before federal boards.'
A three-judge panel agreed unanimously that the fundamentals
of fair play which apply in federal courts also govern administrative
proceedings.
The ruling specifically applied to the government's seven-year
effort to require the Communist party to register with the Justice
Department as a tool of {Moscow. The decision means the Subversive
Activities Control Board must conduct still further proceedings.

Calendar'
Committee
A'pointed
By RICHARD TAUB
University President Harlan
Hatcher has created a new five
member committee to develop a
University calendar, according to
Erich A. Walter, assistant to the
president.
This committee will replace the
present committee chaired by Prof.
John Kohl of the electrical en-
gineering department, which has
been "trouble shooting" the pres-
ent calendar since early in 1957.
This will be the fourth group to
carry out work on the calendar
since 1953, when the committee
which planned the present pro-
gram was established.
The five members of the com-'
mittee who will be announced to-
day will be representatives of the
literary college, the engineering
school. the athletic department,
the Office of University Relations
and one student.
Prof. Kohl had asked to be re-
lieved because of many other
pressing obligations. He is chair-
man of the Faculty Senate and a
member of other University com-
mittees.
The new committee was estab-
lished, according to Walter, on
the basis of review within the
present calendar committee, and
study of the problems the group
faced.
It was believed .that the group
had been too large and unwieldy
to do any intensive work. Prof.
Kohl noted that it was a major
problem to find a time when most
of the committee could meet.
The new, smaller committee will
be able to work more intensively
and a report is expected from, it
bsummer.
I Prof. Kohl's committee had
dealt with two problems in the
present calendar. After hearing
student complaints of having to
return to school on Friday after
Christmas vacation this school
year, Friday and Saturday were
dropped from the calendar.,
After faculty complaints about
starting classes the day following
registration, the schedule was
altered for next year so there
would be a day between registra-
tion and classes.

tirely.
"If this were a civil action in a
court, or if it were a criminal case,
the party would be entitled to the
production of these reports,"
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman wrote
for the court.
"We hold that, where the gov-
ernment places on the stand a
witness who testifies about an
event long past, and it is shown
that this witness at or about the
time of the event made a written
report to the government concern-
ing that event, and the testimony
is material, and the credibility of
the witness on her testimony upon
this precise point is attacked, the
government upon demand must
produce the report made by the
witness."
IFC Election
Procedures
May Change
The Executive Committee of the
Interfraternity Council last night
recommended a change in the
procedure for nominating candi-
dates for IFC offices. 4
If passed by the Fraternity
President's Assembly, men wishing
to run for office would file peti-
tions with the Executive Commit-
tee. They would be interviewed by
the Committee and recommenda-
tions made by them to the fra-
ternity presidents on the basis of
the candidates' qualifications.
These recommendations would
be studied at district fraternity
presidents' meetings and the fi-
nal candidates will be nominated
from these on the floor on the
night of elections.
Previously, the Executive Com-
mittee has screened the applicants
and then placed a slate of candi-
dates before the Fraternity Presi-
dent's Assembly.
Also at last night's meeting, the
committee rescinded the $25 fines
levied against Alpha Delta Phi,
Psi Upsilon and Zeta Beta Tau'
for failure to put enough time into
rush counseling during fall rush-
ing.
The committee explained that
the fraternity houses were fined
on the basis of records which
were apparently in error.

Panhellenic Questions Study
Of Affiliate Bias Practices
Panhellenic Board of Delegates yesterday discussed the committee
established by Student Government Council Wednesday to study pro-
gress in removing fraternity and sorority membership restrictions and
determine possible council policy in this area.
Marilyn Houck, '5Ph, Panhel president, explained the decision
and her feeling that such a committee is unnecessary. She said that
progress has been made, the situation is clear now and that problems
could arise from the publicity.
She reminded the delegates of the 1949 National Panhellenic
Conference ruling which says that no questionaire or requests, oral or
written, may be answered by a sorority member until they have been
reviewed by the NPC Committee
on Research and Public Relations
and information has been released KINKEAD-REVEALS I

Marquart pointed out that the

It was believed that the presi-

chairman be chosen through peti-

previous experience would not be
necessary.
However, members said that the
chairman should be a member of
the League Executive Committee.
They thought this experience was
very necessary. The report also
recommended that the two sen-
ators-at-large be eliminated.

PROCESS:
on Causes Korea Turncoats
By BRUCE COLE
The Chinese Communists employed indoctrination and not
"brainwashing" in causing many American prisoners of the Korean
War to turn to the Communistic doctrine, Eugene Kinkead remarked.
Kinkead, an editor and writer for "The New Yorker," said in a
speech yesterday that "brainwashing" is the process of destroying
the thinking processes of a normal individual. The Chinese did not
destroy the mind but conditioned it to their way of thinking.
The indoctrination consisted of two phases, mind conditioning
and the suction stage. "Mind conditioning made the prisoners believe
such ideas as Wall Street starting the war in order to get rich," Kin-
kead noted. This would cause the prisoners to hate America, he said.
The suction stage which followed was divided into repetition,
harassment and humiliation. The repetition process consisted of the
memorization of various Communistic doctrines, he said. After the
dnetrines were memorized, the nrisoners were constantly harassed so
