Gai n Election Left Wing Advance May Block Constitutional Revision Plans TOKYO (RP)-Japanese Socialists early this morning won enough seats in the upper house of Parliament to block government plans for rearmament and revision of the U.S. occupation-era constitution. With near-final results from Sunday's balloting pouring in, the Socialists and their supporters had taken 51 of the 127 seats up for election in the 250-seat chamber. Together with the 33 they already hold-not to be voted on again for three more years-they had more than the one-third need- ed to block Premier Ichiro Hatoyama's Conservative coalition. By late yesterday, leaders of Hatoyama's Liberal-Democratic Heart Attack Takes Life Of Preuss Prof. Lawrence Preuss of the University's political science de- partment was found dead early Saturday morning in his suite at the Michigan Union. His death was ' ascribed to a heart attack suffered during his sleep. Prof. Preuss 'was 51 years old. Long recognized as an outstand- ing authority in international law and international organization Prof. Preuss had been an extrem- ely active member of many con- ferences and committees on the in- ternational scene. He received a Ph.D. from the University in 1932, and had been a professor since 1946. He ha also been a Research Associate in international law at Harvar University from 1929 to 1940. Farsighted Critic Prof. Preuss was well known a an outspoken and far-sighte critic of world politics. He is on record as having predicted in 1935 that the Hitler war machine would over-run the Balkan states, an he strenously urged the American government to take a more active part in world leadership. As an ardent champion of an impartial international tribunal he favored U.S. entrance into th World Court in 1935, and in 1946 strongly supported the U.N. Court In November, 1946 he charged the U.N. Security Council to "ge rid of the feeling which inserted the veto power, if we are to ge rid of the veto itself," but h added that "the United Nation remains the best hope for peace. Career Highlights Following are the highlights o Prof. Preuss' long and distinguish ed career of service and scholar ship in international affairs: From 1942 to 1945 he acted a an officer and technical advise ' in the State Department. He went to London in 1943-4 as the Deputy U.S. Representativ to the U.N. War Crimes Commis sion, and was assistant secretary at the Dumbarton Oaks Conver sations in 1944. In 1945 he attended the San Francisco Conference on Interna tional Organization as a technica expert for the U.S. delegation. H was the author of Article 2 (7 of the U.N. Charter, -party already were talking of de- feat. "'I personally think we got licked. We'll have to accept it as sharp criticism of the Conserva- tives," declared Nobusuke Kishi, secretary general of Hatoyama's Liberal-Democratic party. His goall had been 200 seats in the 250- seat house. Possible New Split The latest tabulation of candi- dates elected and leading unde- cided races for 127 House of Coun- t cilor seats being filled at this elec- tion indicated a possible new Con- servative-Socialist split of 168 to 81, with 1 militant religious lead- s er apparently elected. The old split was 171 to 73, with 6 vacan- - cies. . Socialist and Communist candi- dates bitterly fought Hatoyama's - proposals to rewrite the American- - sponsored constitution, scrapping - the provisions banning military forces and increasing the power e of the Emperor. a iSteel Strike, s ParlySet d n PITTSBURGH (IP-The federal 5 government prepared yesterday d to draw union and management d back into contract negotiations in n an effort to end the 9-day-old e steel strike that is spreading un- employment across the nation.

Four Billion Ceiling Set In Aid Bill Eisenhower Asks Fund Restoration WASHINGTON () - Congress put a four-billion-dollar ceiling on foreign aid spending yesterday, even as President Dwight D. Eisen- hower appealed for restoration of "a substantial part" of the money slashed from the program. The House and Senate passed a compromise bill authorizing a for- eign aid outlay 900 million dollars under what President Eisenhower had proposed for the fiscal year which began July 1. ,- Action came on voice votes In both chambers and there was no debate. The authorization bill now goes to the White House. Statement by President Between the time the House voted and the Senate took up the measure, the President issued a statement in Gettysburg, Pa., say- ing "there can be no peace" in the world without a strong mutual security program, nurtured by for- eign aid funds. But Eisenhower's plea appeared to be directed more at a pending appropriations bill than at the authorization measure. This . appropriations legislation -the actual foreign aid money bill-provides for only $3,600,000,- 000, or $1,300,000,000 less than the President requested. Against U.S. Interest "It is my earnest conviction that the successive slashes that the committees of Congress have made in mutual security funds are not in the best interests of the United States of America," Eisenhower said in his statement. Despite the President's state- ment, House Republican Leader Martin (Mass) announced there would be no concerted GOP effort to increase the $3,600,000,000 fig- ure recommended by the House Appropriations Committee. While "we believe the President is right" in saying the bill cuts too deeply, Martin said, the chances are better for a restora- tion of funds when the bill gets to the Senate. The theory was that a strong record vote in the House against increasing the appropriation would hurt prospects of getting more money from the Senate. Final House action is expected Wednes- day. 'Fearful Risk,' Nixon Warns KARACHI, Pakiston (-P)-Vice President Richard Nixon wound up his circuit of Paciffic and Asian nations yesterday with a warning that a government accepting Com- munist aid runs the risk of having a rope tied around its neck. The vice president's declara- tion, voiced here before he took off for Turkey, was a rejoinder to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh- ru of India and a defense of his own July 4 speech in Manila in which he described neutralist policy toward communism as a. "fearful risk." Keynote At Conference on Aging\ Doctor Calls Apathy Old Age Curse Says It Is Possible ITo Preserve Vitality Of Human Lives Apathy is the major curse of old age, Dr. Edward L.

William Ballis. Rich Emistenee Possible Dr. .Bortz told his audience, gathered from all over the nation for the three-day conference, that the aged "have within their grasp the possibility of enjoying a rich, mature and colorful existence. "The government is concerning itself. Studies are being carried on in practically every state. So- ciety is moving in new directions," the doctor declared. This need not mean prolonging the period of incapacity and in- activity of older people, Dr. Bortz maintained. Education was called by Dr. Bortz the key to the problem. Education Must Prepare "Modern education must pre- pare citizens to create new pro- grams of study-to find new out- lets for mature minds., to search for broader horizons of human ex- perience." Dr. Bortz suggested the imodern community hospital as at agency to carry on educational programs for community health. A two-pronged educational at- tack was urged: education as a life-long process, making life an "unfolding, en enriching, a mature experience," and education in specific measures of body care to preserve biological health.

FiXed etirement, Fe Data, Inconsistent Arbitrary retirement at a fixed age, whatever the reasons, has no valid relation to data that have become increasingly available from research and industrial experience, a workshop on criteria for retire- ment was told yesterday. While general intelligence and physical fitness shows a marked decline with increasing years, "the decline is gradual and there is wide variation in the ages at which is becomes critical," Oeneva Mathiasen, secretary of the Na-i tional Committee on the Aging i 3)Regarding absenteeism, acci reported. These were some of the conclu- sions presented as part of the Uni- versity's ninth annual Conference on Aging. They were formulated by the Project on Criteria for the Con- tinued Employment of Older Workers, recently completed 'by the National Committee on Aging. Pertinent Findings A few of the findings, termed pertinent, are: 1) In practically every test there was wide variation so that some older people surpassed younger individuals. "Research studies point to the need for a policy of retirement based on indi- vidual capacity to perform rather than chronological age. 2) Even where deterioration in one aspect may be quite marked, it may not necessarily incapacitate the individual for the job he is performing. The study notes, "Since modern industrial process seldom demands the full capaci- ties of an individual, the remnant of his abilities may be sufficient for the key factors of his job. dents and work output, the com- mittee said it was "impressed" by employers' reports and concludes, "the older worker must be regard- ed as an asset rather than a lia- bility to industry." No Obstacle 4) Administration of a flexible retirement system was found by the study to be no major obstacle, based on reports from industrial concerns employing a flexible sys- tem. Difficulties in administration and fairness are usually claimed as basic reasons for arbitrary re- tirement programs. In tests of ability to learn, the committee reported more the ma- terial draws on previous experience the better older workers show up. Verbal intelligence was reported to decline more slowly than sen- sory and motor abilities, and the ability to master difficult con- cepts "seems to increase steadily with age, at least until 50." The report showed that hearing declines at a later age than vision, marked decline coming at 65 for the former and 50 for the latter. Two Boy Scouts Come ToWc The Daily finally got some try- outs. Yesterday two young lads walk- ed into the' editorial office and told the editor, "Sir, we're Boy- scouts trying for our journalism merit badge and we were wonder- ing if we could work on your paper." Allan Wright, aged 11, and Dick Dworsky, 13 years old, were promptly signed up as headline writers, proofreaders, reporters and general aide de camps. First order of business included a complete tour of The Daily's shop including special perform- ances on the sterotyper and rotary presses. The press crew was kept busy answering a battery of questions that would have done a full- fledged reporter justice. The two Boyscouts will spend rk for The Daily 7'----_____ " - -
