Leonard Outlines
Campaign Program
Hopeful, for Primary Nomination,
Speaks before Local Republicans
By BAERT BRAND
Michigan must have a governor -of the same political faith as
the State Legislature in order to promote the maximum progress
and welfare of the State as a whole.
Donald S. Leonard made this statement before a group of local
Republicans last night at Tappan Junior High School as part of his
campaign for the Republican nomination for Governor at the August
3 primary.
Stalemates and deadlocks of the past six years show that in-
harmonies between opposite political faiths in Lansing have not re-
flected the interests of predominately Republican Michigan, Leonard
declared.
Leonard cited the Judges Retirement Act which enables the
Governor to make political appointments when judges reach retire-
ment age and their elected terms

4By Churchill
WASHINGTON (1P-Prime Min-
ister Churchill called Monday for
the Western Powers to have a try
at living peacefully with Russia,
lest they fall into a war that
would "leave us victorious on a
heap of ruins."
Churchill raised his plea after
pledging, with President Eisenhow-
er, to "press forward" with plans
for a free-nation shield against the
Communist threat in Southeast
Asia.
The British leader, speaking at
a news conference as his criti-
cal talks with Eisenhower drew to-
ward an end, made it clear e still
favors a Big Three meeting with
Russia's Premier Malenkov. But,
he cautioned:
"To me'et without good, occasion,
without some hope of definite ame-
lioration of the world situation,
might worsen and sharpen ten-
sions."
The Churchill-Eisenhower meet-
ing appeared to have eased but not
to have ended a serious British-
American dispute over the best
strategy for containing the Red ad-
vance in Indochina.
Churchill agreed to permit Brit-
B am to join in talks aimed at some
kind of "nollective defense" in Asia
but apparently won his poinththat
actual setting up of any such al-
liance must await the end of pes-
ent Indochina trune talks.
Eisenhower is also reported to
have notified Churchill the United
States would refuse to back or
guarantee any British-supported ar-
mistice which gives a major part
of Indochina to the Communists.
Churchill was informed, however,
that the bamerican government
might have to acquiesce to such an
Indochina deal because it could not
physically prevent it.
Eisenhower also put Churchill on
notice the United States wanted no
part of any Locarno-type treaty
with the Communists which would
seek to guarantee peace in Asia.
Churchill made it plain, officials
said, he intends to explore the pos-
sibility of negotiating sunh a pact
without the United States.
In a voice frequently touched
with emotion, Churchill also strong-
ly urged greater Western trade and
cultural contacts with the Russians.
This might convince the Kremlin
rulers, he said, that they have mor
to gain by 25 years of peace with
the West than by pushing toward
a possible new war.
Britain and the United States, he
said, must march hand-in-hand in
t leading the fe world despite tem-
porary differences and, if neces-
sary, must stand "shoulder-to-
shoulder" to defend freedom.
Begin Informal Talks
The joint American-British deci-
sion to begin informal talks for a
Southeast Asia defense treaty stood
out as the most important agree-
ment mentioned in a 500-word state-
ment summing up the 3% day Ei-
senhower-Churchill conference.
Diplomats said British-American
ovnrte wil1 l nln,.n th rn

have not yet expired. This has en-
abled appointments to-be made of
Democrats on boards, commissionsj
and in areas which serve largely
Republican districts.
Leonard said that he has "no
strings attached, committments or
obligations," adding that if elect-
ed Governor he will strive "to serve
all people in the State of Michigan'
to the best of my ability."
He assured voters that he has
severed completely all connections
with the Detroit Police Department
although when he announced his
candidacy for governor he was of-
fered a leave of absence as Detroit
Police Commissioner.
Program Outlined
Leonard outlined points of his
platform.
One problem before the state is
the need to "repair the delapa-
dated highways and make new
ones, especially farm to market
and county roads." He added that
roads must now be considered in
view of the effects of the St. Law-
rence Seaway project.
Leonard heaped praise upon-the
women who have proved them-
selves qualified to hahdle policy
making positions in the state gov-
ernment through their work in
campaigning.
He spoke of the need for not
only more schools and classrooms,
but to go "beyond mortar and
brick to the need for more quali-
fied teachers." Leonard hit a low
teacher salaries in this regard.
Leonard promised "to do every-
thing possible to cut out the frills
of government." But, he added,
with Constitutional impediments
and earmarked funds, the ap-
proach is a different one.
Constitution Needs Revision
The 1908 Constitution of Mich-
igan needs revision, Leonard said,
adding that he favors calling a
Constitutional Revision Conven-
tion to tackle the job.
Leonard cited the results of the
last two gubernatorial elections
which the Republican candidates
narrowly lost. In 1948, the Repub-
lican candidate lost by one fourth
of a vote per precinct on a state
average. Two years ago his party's
nominee lost by 10,000 votes.
In both these elections Republi-
can majorities were carried in out-
state areas but the elections were
lost in Wayne County, Leonard
said. For a Republican to win he
must, "Lose Wayne County by
less" he added.

A former University student, °28-year-old Francis X. Crowley
of New York, yesterday reversed an earlier decision to refuse to co-
operate with the Velde-Clardy House Un-American Activities Com-
mittee and laid bare the Communist picture as he saw it in Ann Arbor,
In addition to listing 27 members of the campus Ralph Naefus
club, named by the Committee as a Communist cell, Crowley named
seven one-time faculty members as belonging to the Haldane Club,

theory in the Music school in 1948-50, who appeared on the stand

AIR BLAST:
A nti-Red Rebels Renew
Teguci gal pa Attack

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (A') -
The anti-Communist rebels again
attacked the Guatemalan capital
with their air force Monday night
despite the change in governments
there.
First reports quoted the Guate-
malan government radio as say-
ing 12 planes bombarded the cap-
ital less than 24 hours after Col.
Narlos Diaz and a military junta
had replaned leftist President Ja-
cobo Arbenz Guzman and outlawed
the Communist party.,y
Abenz was reported en route by
plane to exile in Argentina.
Other listeners to the Guatemalan
broadcast, however, understood
thet only one or two planes at-
tacked with bombs and machine
guns. ,
Three planes were the most the
rebels have used in previous raids
on the capital. ,
The "Liberation" radio of Col.
Carlos Castillo Armas, who set out,
to overthrow Arbenz 11 days ago,
earlier Monday called the Diz re-
gime "usurpers" and broadcast an
ultimatum to the new government
to set a cease-fire or face new air
bombardments of the capital.
Subsequent broadcasts from the
capital indicated the new regime
was attempting to stiffen its forces
for a fight against the invaders.
Castillo Armas announced that
his newly proclaimed government,
which has been fighting the Arbenz
regime since June 18, would
"raise" their arms against what he
termed the "unconscitutional" jun-
ta.
His "Liberation radio" threat-
ened the renewed bombing of Gua-
temala City if the junta did not
sue speedily for a ceasefire.
Castillo Armas obviously feared
the outlawing of communism would
pull the rug out from under his
anti-Communist invasion move-
ment.
Battle for Zacapa,
Authoritative sources in Tegucl.
galpa reported a big battle for Za-
capa had not been broken off by
the change in governments in Gua-
temala City. Zacapa is an impor-'
tant rail center in east Guatemala.
Ther wer no details of the
fighting.
In Guatemala City, Associated
Press Correspondent Jack Rut-
ledge said the rebels were only
70 miles away when Arbenz quit,
and there was little opposition to
them except by the labor forces

which the regime had organized
and armed.
Rutledge gave a graphic picture
of events leading up to Arbenz's
resignation. He said the decision
was reached after army nhiefs had
held an all-day meeting Sunday
and then sent three colonels for a
showdown with Arbenz. The thre
were Diaz, then chief of staff; Col.
Carlos Sarti, head of the National
Superior Council of Defense; and
Col. Enrique Parinello Coloma.
Bank Thieves
May Escape
DETROIT ()-Two masked gun-
men who robbed a suburban branch
bank yesterday of $11,460 may have
escaped police road blockades by
heading down the Detroit River
in a motorboat.
Trenton police said two men
were seen running to a small
white outboard motorboat with a
bag shortly after two similarly
dressed men held up the West
Road branch of the Trenton State
bank.
A car was found nearby that
had been stolen from a Detroit
used car lot three days ago. It was
tentatively identified as the get-
away car.
Heading South
Police said the men on the riv-
er were heading south toward
Toledo. Canadian authorities on
a Royal Canadian Mounted Police
boat sped to the scene.
Ontario provincial police boats
patroled the Canadian side of the
river to prevent a landing. State
police patroled the Michigan shore.
State Policeadropped road blocks
but alerted all police agencies to
be on the lookout. The men were
described as between 25 and 30
years old and in a late model
gunmetal gray car,
Fred W. Pluskat, the branch
bank manager, and two women
tellers, Olga Barker and Agnes
Morrison, were tied up with a
clothesline by the robbers. After
the robbers left they freed them-
selves and telephoned police.
Pluskat said that the two men
pushed their way in shortly after
the bank opened at 10 a.m.

Plan Adopted
On One Year
Trial Period
MPA Project
For 3 Years
By BECKY CONRAD
More than three years of nego-
tiations for Regents' meetings open
to the press came to an end yes-
terday as the Board of Regents
and the Michigan Press Associa-
tion issued a joint announcement
calling for a one-year trial period
plan to begin in September.
The proposal for opening meet-
ings as adopted by the Regents
after conferences with the MA's
Committee on Freedom, of Infor-
mation was given approval of the
MPA Board of Directors at a week-
end session at Blaney Park.
Limited to 20
Number of accredited newsmen
permitted at a single meeting is
limited to approximately 20.
The MPA committee which rep-
resented the press during the talks
on the meetings will serve as an
accrediting body. Bona fide staff
reporters or editors of regularly
issued publications of general cir-
culation will be approved.
The Daily recently gained mem-
bership in the press group.
Accredited Newsmen Attend
The agreement which has bee
reached provides that regular
meetings of the Regents will be
open to accredited news represen-
tatives. Regents have agreed that
in general they will conduct final
discussions and take voting action
in the meetings at a time open to
news representatives.
Right to hold executive sessions,
particularly on matters such as
the purchase of property or other
matters involving security restric-
tions or for delicate or confidental
reasons pertaining to acceptance
of positions, discipline, or con-
tracts, was retained by the Board.
The agreement permits prelim-
inary confidential discussions by
the Regents or by their designated
committees.
The agreement also provides
that the Regents and officers of
the University will continue to be
available (as in the past) for in-
terpretation or for providing back-
ground information on actions
which are taken and that the Uni-
versity News Service will continue
to supply materials for the use of
news representatives.
H. F. Bailey of the Adrian Tele-
gram, chairman of MPA's Freedom
of Information committee work-
ing on the project, commented, "It
is gratifying indeed to the press
to have the Regents of the Univer-
sity open their meetings to news
representatives.
"Through the discussions lead-
ing up to the agreement, both the
Regents and the press have come
to understand each other's pur-
poses and problems, and I am con-
fident we have reached a happy
solution. We pledge our fullest ef-
forts to make the plan work effec-
tively in the public interest."
Long-term Project
According to Brewster Campbell,
Executive City Editor of the De-
troit Free Press and former chair-
man of the MPA group, the open-
ing of the Regents' meetings is
part of a long-standing project to
open sessions of the governing bod-
ies of the University and Michigan
State College.
He explained that "on the basis
that they are doing public business
and that only when the public is
represented can it get the com-

plete picture of what is going on."
Meetings of the Board of Agri-
culture, governing group of MSC
were opened a little more than a
year ago under a similar plan,
Campbell said.
Specific negotiations for open-
ing Regents' meetings got into full
sway in March when the first draft
of the plan was drawn up.
Shortly afterward, University
director'of Public Relations Ar-
thur L. Brandon outlined a more
or less formal agreement which
went to the MPA committee. The
group later met with Regent Char-
les S. Kennedy in Detroit and
drafted the plan in its final form.
