In Poznan
BERLIN (/P)-Gunfire was re-
ported crackling through the after-
noon Friday in the Polish bread
rebellion city of Poznan,
It apparently was from a Red
Polish army effort to mop up die-
hard snipers.
A closedown of communications
under martial law all but sealed
off the big industrial city where
possibly 100 died in the outbreak
Thursday against poor living con-
ditions.
There were indications that the
Iron Curtain may be slamming
down again all along the Soviet
satellite frontiers as the result of
the Poznan revolt.
Telephone communications from
Stockholm to the sovietized Baltic
states-Latvia, Lithuania and Es-
tonia-was. suddenly cut Friday
night after a Moscow operator
broke into a conversation. The.
1 Swedish Telephone company said
itwas told there was a "techni-
cal breakdown."
The West Berlin newspaper Tel-
egraf-the first here to report the.
Posnan outbreak Thursday-said
noise of fighting was still being
heard in Poznan Friday afternoon.
* It claimed several communist
officials were "literally torn aPart"
by angry demonstrators Thurs-
day.
Telegraf quoted a foreign busi-
nessman as saying troop reinforce-
ments were being brought in when
he left the Polish city late Thurs-
day night.
It said the businessm nen met
about 70 tanks and two battalions
of motorized troops headed forj
Ponan.
The Polish Red regime sought
to pacify the rebels in a broadcast
speech by Premier Josef Cyran-
kiewicz.
He promised the Poznan PolesI
the better life they demanded and
asked them to support his author-.1
ity. He also threatened all who1
continue rebellious.t

WASHINGTON (R) - Congress
pissed the biggest money bill of
the session Friday, a $34,656,727,
000 measure to finance the De-
fense Department through the fis-
cal year starting Sunday.
The bill carries about 500 mil-
lion dollars more than President
Dwight D. Eisenhower asked and
reflects congression emphasis on
creating and maintaining the
strongest Air Force in the world.
The Air Force got almost half
the money-$16,459,125,000. About
10 billion dollars was allotted to
the Navy and Marine Corps, 7Y2
billion to the Army and the bal-
ance to the Defense Department
for miscellaneous purposes.
Air Force funds total almostra
billion' more than Eisenhower re-
quested and almost that much
more than what the House voted
for orginially. The extra money
was added in the Senate and ac-
cepted by the House in confeve5ce.
The House passed the coMp'ro-j
mise bill Friday on a standing'
vote of 79-57. The bill cleated the
Senate a few minutes later with-
out objection. Now it goes to the
White House for President Eisen-
hower's signature.
In accepting.the larger amount
for the Air Force, the House con-
ferees made a written demand
that the additional money be spent
for the production of heavy, long-
range bombers and other modern
weapons.

'Willow Run
Controversy
To Be Aired
Meader Questions Aid
To Wayne Major;
Wants Third Airport
By LEE MARKS
Daily Managing Editor
University personnel may ap-
pear before a congressional com-
mittee investigating the Willow-
Run - Wayne Major controversy,
according to Representative
George Meader (R-Mich).
Meader said Detroit's airport
situation will be considered as part
of a broader investigation into
federal aid to airports.
Whether or not the University is
represented will depend largely on
"whether they want to appear,"
Meader claimed.
Hearings are tentatively sched-
uled for July 11 and 12.
Federal Funds
A University administrator at
Willow Run said there is really no
controversy over Willow Run. The
main issue, he declared, is wheth-
er federal funds should be expend-
ed at Wayne Major in view of
pressures to establish a Detroit
city airport on the Northeast side.
Meader confirmed there would
be no pressure put in the Univer-
sity to change the status of Willow
Run.
Several months ago the Federal
Airport Use Panel recommended
that the University relinquish Wil-
low Run so it could be converted
to military use with Wayne Major
taking over commercial air travel.
Both the University and six of
the seven commercial airlines at
Willow Run took a firm stand in
opposition to the Panel and said
they would not change the air-
port's status.
One Dollar
The University purchased Wil-
low Run for one dollar from the
army after the war. It leased
space to the airlines and maintains
extensive research at the field.
Despite refusal of the airlines to
leave Willow Run there have been
attempts to convert Wayne Major
to commercial use. An estimated
33 million dollarsWould be needed.
Meader said the list of witnesses
at the hearing had not yet been
definitely determined.. He added'
that he felt the University ought
to be represented.
CAB Money
Meader said he thought furtheri
expenditure of federal funds for
Wayne Major was unwise. (WayneI
Major has received $1,975,000 from,
the CAB in the last fiscal yeari
and $4,000,000 in the last 10
years).
"Basic objection to making
Wayne Major a second commercial
airport," Meader claimed, "is that1
it is too close to Willow Run.
"It makes sense to spend money
to build a second airport on the
Northeast side (of Detroit). It'
makes no sense to spend money on
Wayne Major".
The Republican congressman
pointed out that Wayne Major and
Willow Run occupy the same air
space. This will have two major
disadvantages if Wayne Major is;
made commercial according tol
Meader: air traffic will be congest-
ed and local adverse weather con-
ditions will affect both airports.

NEW YORK-The nation's steel
crisis rushed toward a climax Fri-
day night with negotiators still
bogged down in efforts to avert
an industrywide strike at midnight
Saturday.
"We got nowhere," said David
3. McDonald, United Steel Work-
ers union president, after the
union's latest negotiation session
with the companies produced no
break in the deadlock over a new
wage, contract.
He said the striking power of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Air Force has been augment-
ed steadily with the new weapons,
including nuclear equipment.
Plant operations already were
disrupted with furnaces being
cooled across the land. Industry
sources said production losses al-

WASHINGTON--President
Dwight D. Eisenhower will drive
to Gettysburg today for at least
two weeks of convalescence.
This was announced Friday by
Press Secretary James C. Hagerty
who, however, still was shedding
no new light on the President's
future political plans.
WASHINGTON - Secretary of
Defense Charles E. Wilson Friday
denied Democratic charges that
the Eisenhower administration has
skimped dangerously, on air powter
in its drive to balance the budget.
Under instructions from Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower to "lay
it on the line," Wilson appeared
before a- Senate Armed Services
Committee and insisted U.S. de-
fenses are strong.
Foreign Aid
Bill Okayed
By Senate
WASHINGTON ()-The Senate
last night passed a $4,562,000,000
foreign aid authorization bill after
beating down all efforts to make
any floor cuts in the totals.
The big bill now goes to con-
ference with the House, which
voted for the substantially lower
authorization of about $3,800,000,-
000.
Victory For Ike
The Senate action on the bill,
represented a considerable victory
for President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower.
The Senate defeated on a voice
vote an amendment by Sen. Wil-
liam Langer (R-ND) to slash one
billion dollars off the aid bill.
Langer denounced the whole
foreign aid program as an "in-
credible squandering of public
money," but he was unable to get
support for a roll call vote on hia
amendment,
Thursday night the Senate re-
jected 58-27 a similar attempt by
Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La) to
chop $1,700,000,000 out of the
authorization bill.
On a voice vote, the Senate ac-
cepted an amendment by Sen. Ev-
erett Dirksen (R-Ill) which he said
was designed to encourage upris-
ings behind the Iron Curtain like
that which took place in Poznan,
Poland, Thursday,
The Drksen amendment would
authorize a five - million - dollar
fund to be used at the absolute dis-
cretion of the president to keep
alive "the spirit of freedom" in
Communist-ruled nations through
exchanges of persons, aid to non-
profit groups and other activities.
Failure For Knowland
Sen. Knowland of California, the
Senate GOP leader, failed in an
attempt to, set up a Hoover-type
commission to review the whole
foreign aid program.
His amendment was defeated
45-41 on a roll call which mainly
followed party lines.
Sen. Mansfield (D-Mont) re-
minded the Senate that Congress
was preparing to make its own
investigation of foreign aid.
The Senate refused by a vote of
60-23 to write into the bill a ban
on any further U.S. military or
economic assistance to nations
that ship strategic materials to'
the Soviet Bloc.
r
Federal Judges
WASHINGTON (A)-Atty. Gen.
Herbert Brownell Friday recom-
mended appointment of 23 addi-
tional federal judges.
He told a Senate judiciary sub-
committee he favors the 21 judicial
seats that would be created by a
bill approved by the House Jundici-'
ary committee June 25 and two
additional seats for Northern Illi-
nois.
