NewAtomic Lab
Impresses UNu
Prime Minister Tours Campus,
Greeted by Students From Burma
BY JIM DYGERT
Burmese Prime Minister U Nu was "wonderstruck" by the new
Phoenix Memorial Laboratory while touring the University campus
yesterday.
"I feel like a new student in a kindergarten class in radio-
activity," he remarked.
Adding that uranium had been discovered in Burma, he said his
country was anxious to make use of it for atomic energy. "But we
do not have the technicians," Nu said.
"If you only let me know how many students I can send, and
what their qualifications should be, I will appreciate it," he' added.
After he was shown the Phoenix Lab by Dean Ralph A. Sawyer
of the graduate school, director of the Phoenix Memorial Project,

and assistant Director Henry Gom-
berg, Nu was whisked to the Cle-
ments Library where he was offi-
cially welcomed by University
President Harlan H. Hatcher,
The prime minister, recalling his
Rangoon University days, said it
was "a pleasure and in inspira-
tion" to visit the University.
He was presented with four
books written by University faculty
members by Vice-President and
Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Nie-
huss.
Invitation Extended
After Niehuss noted with "re-
gret" that he had been unable to
"pay his respects to the people of
Burma" on his trip to eastern and
southeastern Asia last summer, Nu
extended an invitation to Univer-
sity people to visit Burma.
The prime minister examined
many of the rare books and docu-
ments dealing with the colonial
and Revolutionary War periods on
exhibit at Clements Library before'
leaving to attend a reception at
the home of President Hatcher.
Among the guests at the recep-
tion were 28 Burmeme students,
believed to be the largest delega-
tion of students from Burma at
any American university. On be-
half of the students, Maung Mya
Maung, Grad., welcomed their
prime minister.
Nu encouraged them to continue
to take advantage of the "oppor-
tunities for knowledge and -learn-
lng" in America.
Luncheon Follows
The reception was followed by
an informal luncheon at the
League. In his remarks there, Nu
said he would like to return to the
University some day as a student,
perhaps after he retired from pub-
lic life.
Burma's prime minister was
dressed in the Burmese national
costume - an "ingyi," which is a
high-necked, long-sleeve jacket
with a long skirt. His head was
wrapped in a white, close-fitting
headdress which was removable
like a hat. He was accompanied by
his wife and a party of 11.
Afterthe luncheon, he departed
for Willow Run Airport with Prof.
Russell H. Fifield of the political
science department and Prof.
Richard A. Musgrave of the eco-
nomics department.
Next stop on his tour of America
was to be Knoxville, Tenn.

withdraw it next week.

Dixon- Yates Controversy,
Continues on FBI Issue
WASHINGTON (P)-Atty.-Gen. Herbert Brownell declined an in-
vitation to appear before a Senate subcommittee yesterday, sending
instead a written explanation of why he has FBI agents checking on
Memphis' plan to build a city power plant.
He said it was necessary to know whether Memphis making "def-
inite commitments" to go through with the project.
His letter brought prompt expressions of dissatisfaction from sub-
committee members and a declaration by Chairman Estes Kefauver
(D-Tenn.) that Brownellmight be. asked to explain further.
It was all part of the boiling controversy over the Dixon-Yates
private' power contract-which probably will be canceled by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower if Memphis

Government A nnounces
New Salk Research Plan
WASHINGTON (A )-A new research program aimed at "further
improvement and production and testing" of Salk polio vaccine was
announced yesterday by the government.
The Public Health Service also released 300,000 shots of the
vaccine, the first made available since June 6 for the virtually stalled
anti-polio drive.
The PHS said the coming research program - involving govern-
ment, university and industrial laboratories - might also help
improve vaccines against other virus diseases.
The vaccine released was manufactured by Wyeth Laboratories
of Marietta, Pa., and cleared under revised testing standards adopted
May 26.
A service spokesman said there were no indications as to when
more vaccine would be released.
The National Foundation for In-
fantile Paralysis said June 24 its
program of vaccinating first and
second graders was stalled for the
need of more vaccine and six mil-
lion "shots" would be necessary to
complete it.
In a third action yesterday, the
PHS assigned one of its scientists
to each of the six vaccine manu-
facturing plants. They will "facili-
tate more rapid exchange of infor-
mation between scientists of the
pharmaceutical industry and the
federal government."
The PHS said it would delve into
such thnigs as:
1. Possible use of "other" strains
proceeds with plans for its own
generating station.
When Kefauver's Antimonopoly
subcopmittee heard of the use of
G-men at Memphis it asked the
attorney-general to appear yester-
day and explain things. Sen. Ke-
fauver called it "a shocking mis-
use of the FBI."
In his letter, Brownell said he
was unable to appear immediately,
but that it was "normal and ap-
propriate" to use FBI agents in
collecting facts on which to base
a legal decision.
Sen. Kefauver disagreed, saying
"the legislative and historic back-
ground of the FBI doesn't show it
should be used to investigate sov-
ereign cities."
Since Memphis has given notice
of termination of its power con-
tract with the Tennessee Valley
Authority, he went on, it is none
of the federal government's busi-
ness how they plan to get electric-j
ity.
The White House had suggested
earlier yesterday that before the
Dixon-Yates contract is canceled
out the mayor and city council
of Memphis voted to assume "sole
Sesponsibility" for providing the
city's electric power.

NEW YORK - A dramatic ra-
dio report of the sinking of the
ghost ship Blue Star was written
off as a hoax yesterday by the

WASHINGTON (') - With I
blast at what it called "question.
able administrative practices," thi
House Appropriations Committe
yesterday knocked $627,900,000 ou'
of the new foreign aid fund re.
quested by President Dwight D
Eisenhower.
The committee also spoke of u
"chaotic fiscal situation" in thE
military aid part of the program.
It recommended approval of $2,.
638,741,750 in new aid money foi
the current fiscal year, whic'
started July 1. President Eisen-
hower's request was for $3,266,.
641,750.
Congress Sets Limit
Congress Thursday set a limit o:
$3,285,800,000 on new foreign ai
authorizations for the year. Pres1-
dent Eisenhower, who had aske
for a figure of $3,408,000,000 sigec,
the reduced authorization bil
yesterday.
Further cuts in actual appropri.
ations are likely to be proposec
when the money bill comes up fo
House debate Monday. The Ap-
propriations Committee noted tha
the foreign aid program has ar
estimated $8,717,100,000 in unspen
balances from previous allotments
Largest cut recommended by thi
committee was $420,000,000 fron
the $1,125,000,000 requested foi
general military aid to non-Con
munist nations. Other big reduc-
tions were $100,000,000 from funds

fense support for Asia.
'No Harm" Claimed
The committee said the cuts i
proposed would not hurt the pro.
gram in view of the large balance;
on hand.
With respect to these funds, i
expressed concern about "ques
tionable administrative practice
followed in obligating. deobligating
and reobligating funds."

that funds frequently are obligate
late in a fiscal year in order t
keep them available for the nex
year, "even though the obligation
are not based on firm agreement
or commitments."
White House
Takes Back
.Dulles' Quip.
WASHINGTON ()-The Whit
House said yesterday that whe
'Secretary of State John. Foste
Dulles said the Russian economi
system is "on the point of collaps

any "immediate crisis."
James C. Hagerty, presidentia
press secretary, said "there is n
difference" between Dulles ani
President Dwight D. Eisenhowe,
The President said Wednesda
that nobody in his government ha
stated the Soviets will enter th
Geneva Big Four conference ina
state of weakness.
Neither Hagerty nor the Stat
Department explained how a 'na
tion could be on the point of cal
lapsing without facing any im
mediate crisis. The best guess wa
that Sec. Dulles' "point of collap
sing" remark was an off-hand on
which was too strong to fit th
available facts.

Today Another Hot One;
But Relief Seen Tonight
Today marks the 13th day of the current heat wave.
That is, the weatherman at Willow Run predicted another day
of it, laughing wickedly. High temperature today is expected to be
between 90 and 95 degrees, just right for swimming or something.
Thundershowers - scattered - are also on the tentative schedule
for this afternoon. So far this heat wave, thundershowers have
not had their desired depressing effect.
But wait. The weatherman is still talking, and he says relief
tonight. The thermometer will dip to the mid-60's tonight, he says.
It should' recover to only about
80 or 85 by tomorrow, he promises.
