British Receive Prompt Apology
From Chinese For Air Attack
WASHINGTON-(/P)-Red China has contemptuously turned
down American protests against Communist fighter plane attack on
British and Anerican aircraft over the South China Sea.
The Reds refused even to consider the protests.
The State Department disclosed Thursday the rejection had
occured Wednesday at Peiping. It announced that the matter "will
not be permitted to rest there" but did not say what new steps might
be taken.
Two salient points emerged from the situation:
1. The rejection means that the Chinese Communists are refusing
to promise this country to punish those persons responsible for the
China sea attacks, or to give assurances there won't be more such
incidents,
2. The State Department disclosed that Britain has sent a for-
mal commendation for the rescue -
efforts of the U.S. Navy in connec-
tion with the shootings. American
officials have viewed the Commu-
nist tactics, of being contemptuous
toward America. and placatory to-
ward Britain, as an effort to drive
,. a wedge between them.
While Peiping refused to accept
the American protests, it has
apologized promptly to Britain for
the destruction of the British plarre
involved.
Two American protests were de-
livered to the Chinese Foreign Of-
' fice Wednesday by the ranking
British diplomat there, Humphrey
Trevelyan.
Here, the State Department re-
lated, is what happened:
Trevelyan told Chinese Vice
Minister of Foreign Affairs Chang
Han-fu, that he was instructed by
his government to present the pro-
test of the United States against
what the United States called the
"barbarous and lawless attack" of
Chinese Communist fighter planes
against an unarmed British air-
liner 30 miles south of Hainan Is-
land last Friday. Three American
citizens were lost.
Change said that this was a mat-
ter between the Chinese Commu-
nist and British governments and
was no concern of the United
States.
Trevelyan protested on behalf of
the United States against what this
government had called an "unpro-
voked and wanton" attack by two
Red fighters Monday on American
carrier-based aircraft which were
searching for survivors of the
British airliner. The two Red
planes were shot down in the clash
which the United States said oc-
curred over international waters
of the open sea.

Senators
Unanimous
On UN Issue
WASHINGTON (2A - The Senate
spoke with one voice yesterday
against the entrance of Red China
into the United Nations.
It voted 91-0 to write into the
3,100,000,000 foreign aid bill a re-
iteration by Congress of "its oppo-
sition to the seating in the United
Nations of the Communist China
regime as the representative of
China."
The amendment also requests
President Eisenhower, in the event
of Red Chinese adniission, to in-
form Congress "of the implications
of this action upon the foreign
policy of the United States together
with any recommendations which
he may have with respect to the
matter."
"Wait and See" Plan
Majority Leader Knowland of
California was the sponsor of this
"wait and see" plan, which ap-
parently reflects administration
policy.
Both Eisenhower and Secretary
of State Dulles have advised going
slow on the question of quitting
the United Nations. They also have
expressed confidence that Red
China will be unable to obtain a
seat. The issue may be raised at
the U.N. this fall.
After approving several other
amendments the Senate recessed
until Friday without reaching a
final vote on the aid bill.
Amendment Defeated
Sen Capehart (R-Ind) failed to
win adoption of an amendment to
require that 750 million dollars of
the foreign aid funds requested for
the fiscal year which began July
1, be in the form of loans rather
than grants. It was defeated on a
57-33 rollcall vote.
President Eisenhower originally
asked for 800,million dollars to help
carry on the war against the Red
Vietminh forces in Indochina. After
the French came to terms with
the Communists, yielding most of
Viet Nam above the 17th Parallel,
Eisenhower requested that the
funds be earmarked for us at his
discretion in any part of Southeast
Asia.
The House has voted to approve
712 million for the purposes, and
the same amount is contained in
the pending Senate bill.

Nationwide Drive
' Planned for Fall
WASHINGTON (-A new move
to unseat Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis)
will be launched after the Novem-
ber elections, Leroy Gore, chair-
man of the 'Joe Must Go" clubs,
1 announced Thursday.
As outlined, this will be a far
more elaborate drive than the one
that failed last spring. Not only
will the "Joe Must Go" people be
after signatures from Wisconsin
voters, but they also will launch
a nationwide campaign to persaude
[ citizens to write their senators. The
'aim is to make sure that, in case
Wisconsin votes to unseat McCar-
thy, the Senate will go along with
the decision.
Gore, who says he has long been
a Republican, predicted he would
encounter no difficulty in: (1) get-
ting enough signatures to set up a
recall electionhand (2) defeating
-McCarthy in that election.

UNDER THE TREES-University students and Ann' Arborites relaxed last night on the steps of the
General Library and under the campus trees to hear an outdoor' concert by the University Summer
Session Band. The band, under the baton of Prof. William D. Revelli, was located near the east
wall of Mason Hall, near the top of the picture. The program included works by Rossini, Sousa, and
Lecouna, as well as the Michigan march, composed especially for the University by Edwin
Franko Goldman.

Democrats Take
No Party Stand
WASHINGTON AM-Sen. Knowl-
and (R-Calif) decided Thursday to
allow "a full dress debate . . . a
full discussion" of moves to cen-
sure or investigate Sen. McCarthy
(R-Wis).
Knowland, the Senate's Republi-
can leader, said he had reached
this decision even though the de-
bate probably "will tie up'the leg-
islative program."
In another development Thurs-
day, the Senate Democratic Policy
Committee decided against taking a
party stand on resolutions propos-
ing censure or investigation of Mc-
Carthy. It pronounced them "a
matter of conscience upon which
each individual senator should
vote his convictions without re-
gard to party affiliation."
Expects Bitter Arguments
The pro and con McCarthy argu-
ments are to start Friday. They
are likely to be bitter.
The situation came about first
by the resolution offered by Sen.
Flanders (R-Vt) which in its pres-
ent form would propose that the
Senate declare McCarthy guilty of
unbecoming conduct as chairman
of the Senate's Investigations sub-
committee.
Sen. H. Alexander Smith <R-NJ)
offered a substitute course Thurs-
day. He called for a senatorial
committee of three Republicans
and three Democrats to investi-
gate, and report by next Feb. 1,
on "the alleged good or evil of so-
called McCarthyism."

Military Housing . ..
WASHINGTON - (AP) - The'
Senate Armed Services Committee
yesterday approved legislation to,
authorize construction of 11,967
military housing units. The House,
later voted for 13,583 units.
The Senate committee's reduc-
tions, for the most part, were in
the number of units allowed for'
each project. Few, if any projectsl
were completely eliminated by the!
Senate group. *
Pilots Strike .
CHICAGO - (02) - The AFL
Airline Pilots Assn. said yesterday
it will go ahead with its strike
against American Airlines one
minute before midnight tonight.
Clarence N. Sayen, ALPA presi-t
dent, said all of America's more
than 1,200 pilots have been alert-
ed to leave their jobs at that hour.;
The Wisconsin constitution, Gore
explained, provides that 25 percent
of those casting ballots in the last
previous gubernatorial e 1 e c t i o n
must sign recall petitions before
a special election can be held.
Gore showed up in town with a
vast sheaf of papers and said it
contained about 250,000 of 355,-
000 legal signatures he asserts he
collected.
But in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
GOP Chairman Robert L. Pierce
said "I doubt that he even had
100,000 signatures. Let him have
his fun. He never had it so good
since he started his recall efforts."
Pierce predicted the new recall
campaign "Probably will flop like
the last one."

WASHINGTON «'i-The SenateI
Thursday night passed the Eisen-
hower administration's big tax re-
vision bill carrying a wide variety
of benefits for many individuals
and corporations.
The measure, a compromise ver-
sion already passed .by the House,
now goes to President Eisenhower.
The President has called it the
cornerstone of his 1954 legislative
program.
The measure, 'the first complete
overhaul of the tax laws in 75
years, goes to the White House
with most of the key provisions
in exactly. the form that Eisen-
hower recommended in January.
It represents the second major
item on his legislative priority list
to go to the President on successive
days. Wednesday Congress sent
him the general housing bill. In
this measure, however, the Presi-
dent's public housing features were
cut far below what he had asked.
Bill Cuts Revenues
The tax bill cuts government
revenues an estimated $1,363,000,-l
000 in the first year. The revenue
loss will be greater in future years.
Senate Democrats centered their
attack on a provision giving a tax
cut to stockholders on their divi-
dend income.

An expert in Latin American af-

that the United States construct a
foreign policy which makes sense
toward our Western Hemisphere
' neighbors.
Speaking on "Cross Currents in
Today's Latin America," Philip W.
Powell, associate professor of his-
tory at the University of California
at Santa Barbara, added that the
United States cannot afford to be
neglectful in our Latin American
relations. This, he said, is because
we have important links with them
and because our national survival
r may eventually well depend on a
strong Western Hemisphere.
