Institute statisticians Arrangements Set For Geneva Talks MacMillan Opens UN Anniversary Session With East-West Peace Plea SSind rimittee .s Doctor aft Ruling WASHINGTON ()-A Senate- H o u s e' conference committee agreed yesterday to cut five years off the maximum age for induct- ing doctors and dentists under new draft legislation. Doctors and dentists now can be taken into the armed services through age 50. The conferees , agreed to make it through age 45 in a bill to ex.' tend the doctors' draft another two years. Deadlock Broken The agreement broke a congres- sional deadlock over extension au- thrity on a bill to extend both thespecial doctors draft and the regular draft of young men 18 to 26-. Both the House and Senate pre- viously. had :approved the four- year extension of the regular draft, which expires June 30. But the House Rules Commit- tee, under heavy pressure from medical and dental leaders, had blocked House action on a two- ear extension of the authority to draft medical men, which also expires at the end of the month. Few Drafted. The Senate forced the issue by combining both draft extensions in one bill after Pentagon lead- ers said they must have authority to obtain more than 7000 physi- cians and 4,000 dentists needed during the next two years. Few medical men are actually ^ drafted. Instead they are desig- nated by local draft boards for induction, then volunteer for of- * ficers' commissions to serve for two years. The compromise measure now goes back to the House for expect- ed approval Friday. It must then be accepted by the Senate before it goes to President Eisenhower for final approval. ,Driving Rules For Summer Session Given The driving ban changes its tone durirfg the summer. The regulations for use of au- tomobiles in Ann Arbor include a clause that will allow almost any student to drive a car from June .through August. The clause reads, "Students may secure permits to drive provided they need automo- biles for participation in outdoor sports such as golf, tennis, and swimming." Permits may be obtained by fill- ing out applications in the Office of Student Affairs in the Admini- stration Bldg. Other Students Exempt During the regular school year, n there is no recreation 'clause in- cluded. Other students who are ex- empt from any driving restric- tions during the Summer Session are those who in the academic year are engaged in professional pursuits, as for examples teach- ers, lawyers, physicians, dentists, and nurses. M Students who are twenty-six years of age or over are allowed to drive also. Special Circumstances Students holding the rank of instructor or teaching fellow are permitted to drive with no re- physicians who are studying incidence of cancer in the pop- 1ion-particularly lung cancer n relationship to smoking hab-j the Health Service's an- ncement said.

By The Associated Press The Big Four foreign ministers appeared yesterday to have com- pleted arrangements for parleys of their chiefs of government in Geneva next month aimed at eas- ing world tension. Encouraged by this develop- ment, British Foreign Secretary Harold MacMillan appealed for a further easing of tension between the East and West. He was the first of the big power ministers to address the 10th anniversary session of the United Nations Soviet Head Vowsig4 Cooperati"on MOSCOW P)-Premier Nikolai Bulganian declared yesterday the Soviet Union will strive to reduce international tension and consol- idate confidence among nations at the Big Four top-level conference next month. He made the statement to 100,- 000 persons packing Dynamo Sta- dium to honor India's Prime Min- ister Nehru, who is winding up a two-week visit to Russia. Praise of Nehru Bulganin devoted most of his speech to praise of Nehru and to measures he said the Soviet Union is taking to ease world tension. Among these he listed the forth- coming tals among himself, Pres- ident Dwight D. Eisenhower, Brit- ish Prime Minister Anthony Eden and French Premier Edgar Faure. "The Soviet government has agreed to take part in the confer- ence of the heads of government of the four powers which is sched- uled to open in Geneva July 18," he said. Much Enthusiasm "The SovietUnion will strive there for a lessening of. tension and a consolidation of confident e among nations, and the Soviet Union hopes that the other partici- pants will strive toward the same ends." Nehru was greeted with wild cheering, especially when he said that exclusion from the United 'Nations of "the great Ch'nese Peo- ple's Republic (Red Chi a) is not only an abnormal phenomenon, but also a danger to peace." MacMillan met Monday night with Secretary of State John Fos- ter Dulles of the United States Foreign Minister Antoine Pinav of France, and Foreign Minister Ii. M. Molotov of the Soviet Union. The four emerged early yes- terday after a session of more than four hours with smiles all around and the word that ai - rangements were practically com- pleted. Mulotov was reported to have told the Western ministers that at f'rst sight their proposals fay the meeting were acceptable. He said h would have them trans ared and would turn in an answer without delay. Spadework Completed The Western Powers felt so certain of Soviet acceptance that they did not schedule another meeting of the foreign ministers in advance of the top-level meet- ings beginning in Geneva July 18. They will meet at various social functions and at the UN meetings before MacMillan departs tonight but the spadework for the Geneva meetings appeared completed. This means that President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who ranks the others as a head of state as well as chief of government, will preside at the first meeting in Geneva. Russian Premier Nikolai Bul- ganin will preside at the end. Thar chiefs will be seated in alphabet- ical order and they will arrange to restrict the meetings to four or six days. McCarthy Resolution Meanwhile, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted down yesterday a resolution by Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) de- signed to force a discussion of the status of Russia's Iron Curtain satellites at the Big Four confer- ence July 18. The Senate may reject the res- olution today. The administration and Demo- cratic and Republican leaders in the Senate joined forces against McCarthy on grounds the Senate has no business trying to dictate what must come up at the deli- cate "summit" meeting in Geneva. The Democratic strategy was to bring his resolution to the floor with an adverse vote from; the F o r e i g n Relations Committee, then tap it on the head.

ROME - Government quarters said last night that Premier Mar- io Scelba probably will submit the resignation of his 15-months-old coalition Cabinet today. The Cabinet has been called to meet today to consider the situa- tion caused by a split among the Premiere's Christian Democrats and the failure of the small Re- publican party in the coalition to promise support on a vote of con- fidence scheduled to come up Thursday. Monday Scelba attempted to heal the breach in his own party and strengthen his alliance with the minor parties of the govern- ment by reshuffling his Cabinet.

G. Mennen Williams indicated yesterday he would be willing to accept the 1956 Democratic presidential nomination if it were offered to him. "Right now I'm working hard at being governor," he said in answer to a query on his possible candidacy. "But if they throw any plums my way, I'll be there to catch them if I can." Gov. Williams made the comment after his talk on "Michigan" in Hill Auditorium yesterday. His lecture began the special summer school program also entitled "Michigan."

Workers had previously turned down the nine-cent offer effective when they returned to work at a stormy meeting Monday night. Confusion Prevents Settlement Confusion was the theme at Monday's meeting as workers came prepared to vote on a nine-cent retroactive increase which the Ann Arbor News had erroneously re- ported as agreed uponin Satur- day's 17-hour session in circuit court. Tempers flared Monday night when union members learned that the tentative agreement between union officials and the Washte- naw Contractors Association called for a non-retroactive nine-cent pay boost. The resulting confusion ne- cessitated another meeting last night. A bargaining committee was au- thorized to accept Saturday's agreement provided the one change was made. A detailed for- mal collective bargaining agree- ment is to be prepared and will probably be signed within ten days, according to Bernard W. Butler, attorney for the union. The final details involve other agreements already reached and points evolving from the old con- tract, Butler said. Petition for Injunction The dispute ended up in circuit court Friday when the. contrac- tors' group petitioned Circuit Judge James R. Breakey, Jr., for an injunction against the strike on the grounds that it was illegal. When officials for both sides ap- peared Saturday morning, Judge Breakey refused to discuss the le- gality of the strike and ordered them into negotiations until they reached an agreement A six-point settlement was fi- nally reached subject to approval by the union membership. Besides the controversial first point on the nine-cent increase which also specified a one-year contract, the agreements were: 1) Pickets would be called off the jobs Monday morning. (Pickets that had tied up all county con- struction projects because other workers refused to cross picket lines were removed Monday morn- ing. Somne work was continued yes- terday, also, as no pickets showed up, waiting for the results of last night's vote.) Reorganize Bargaining Power 2) The union will not dispute the Association's right'as sole bargain- ing agent for the group's members when it amends articles of incor- poration with specific powers to negotiate collective bargaining agreements. 3) Union and Association will meet legal requirements with re- spect to negotiations and contract terminations. 4) Certain contract changes, in the hands of the federal mediator, shall be included in the new con- tract. 5) Union spokesmen who agreed to the offer would recommend adoption of th proposal at Mon- day's membership meeting. Contractors and the union had already agreed to three cents in health and welfare fringe benefits. Three-Cent Difference The main dispute when the con- construction workers walked off their jobs June 14 and halted work on all county construction projects Peacetime Army Swap~ceue WASHINGTON-WA')The 1ar4- est overseas Army movement In peacetime - ultimately involving Atlantic crossings for about 45,- 000 soldiers, wives and children-- gets under way July 2. Army officials explained yester- day the first big scale rotation of. forces, the simultaneous transfer of the 1st Division from Germany to Ft. Riley, Kan., and the 10th Division from Riley to Germany. It is "Operation Gyroscope." Large Operation Involved is a tremendous swap- 'ping operation. Many families of the 1st Division will leave homes furnishings and possibly even pets for their opposites in the 10th Di- vision to take over on arrival in. Germany. The soldiers of the infantry di- visions will take with them only their rifles and clothing. Artillery, vehicles, supplies--all the tons of equipment of a division-will be left at Ft. Riley and in Germany, with the stenciled divisional in- signia changed to fit the new users. Part of Larger Plan Operation Gyroscope is the Ar- my's name for the plan to rotate units overseas in cycles averaging 32 months. Under that plan the 1st and 10th Divisions are "sister" organizations. They wil continue to rotate between Germany and Ft. Riley. The basic idea is to keep sold- iers and families together, at home and abroad. It is part of the Ar- my's program to induce key men to stay in service. About 35,000 officers and sold- iers are in the two divisions. each division has an average of 5,000 dependents. Plan To Close Union Dining Accomoadations The entire basement and the first floor dining room of the Un- ion will be closed by Sunday, ac- cording to Frank C. Kuenzel, general manager. Construction of the $3,000,000 addition will necessitate closing the main dining room Friday night. The basement cafeteria, checkroom and swimming pool will close Saturday night. To Remodel Cafeteria Students entering the Union Monday will find the basement blocked off completely as work- men begin demolition of the base- ment cafeteria. The cafeteria is to be remodeled and connected with, additional space in the new addition. Several ranges and other kitch- en equipment will be moved to the auxiliary kitchen on the sec- ond floor, Kuenzel said. He hopes the Union will be able to serve meals to house guests on the sec- ond floor terrace by July 10. Delayed by Strike 'T hn onnjrartnr hcm n,nn, aA" 'IT COSTS MONEY TO HAVE NO HAIR': Students To Flee Haircut Price Hike By PAT ROELOFS Several students. yesterday decided to form car pools to go to surrounding towns every three weeks to visit barber shops there. Reason for their planned ventures, accompanied with some heated words, was the recent price rise for haircuts in Ann Arbor. "It costs more money than ever before to have no hair," one crew-cutted senior remarked. Local barbers now charge $2.00 for summer crewcuts. Regular haircuts for men cost $1.75. The Michigan Union barbershop prices remain 25 cents lower on all haircuts than other Ann Arbor barbershops. Reason For Rise Reason for the price rise, according to some barbers, is to in- sure benefits for barbers that other white collar workers have, in cluding vacation and social secur- -- ity benefits. "We have to get haircuts, so we are at the mercy of these high prices," two students remarked as they planned their monthly trips to a nearby town where prices remained at $1.25. Prices Cheaper in West A University professor said he received a haircut for 90 cents in a western Michigan town last week.
