enrollment is expected to be near
the spring enrollment of 22,815.
Enrollment will be limited to 380
at Flint, unless' additional stu-
dents can be placed in certain
classes without additional teach-
ing expense.
Must Consider Cut
Williams said the dentistry
school must "seriously consider"
a reduction of 20 students in its
freshman class for 1959-60, if ap-
propriatalons continue at the
present level.--
Graduate s c h o o 1 enrollment
must now be handled on a "high-
ly individualized" basis, he said.
Enrollment will depend entirely on
the ability of each department to
handle increased numbers of
students.
Williams' summary of Law
School enrollment: "The tradi-
tional large classes will be even
larger in 1958-59." To lighten the
effect, the Law School will con-
tinue to use four younger instruc-
tors as teaching assistants in the
large freshman classes and as quiz
section leaders, an innovation
made last year.
Hard to Reduce
A reduction in appropriations
for medical school was "especial-
ly difficult," Williams said, in
view of the constantly growing
post-graduate program.
Several "sorely needed" posi-
tions in the departments of physi-
ology,. bio-chemistry, pathology,
and in the clinical areas were left
unfilled, Williams said.
A partial breakdown on the fac-
ulty-staff reduction showed that'
26 faculty and five non-academic
positions were eliminated in the
literary college, 11 academic and
7 non-academic positions were'
eliminated in the engineering col-
lege, 10 academic positions were
eliminated in the school of busi-
ness administration, and 23 posi-
tions were eliminated in the plant
department.
The other positions eliminated
were distributed over the depart-
ments of the University.
He said no permanent faculty
member was relieved of his posi-
tion because of the cuts.j

WASHINGTON R - -- The government reported yesterday that
unemployment soared. to a 17-year peak in June, but it said .other
factors hint the recession may be waning. -
An expected June influx of students and graduates to the labor
market for temporary or permanent work was the main reason for
big increases in both employment and unemployment. A student who
isn't looking for work isn't classed as being unemployed,
The Commerce and Labor departments said employment rose
by 920,00.0 from May to 64,981,000 in June. That figure was about 11/2
million lower than employment in.

Air Force Describes
Flaming Landing
Inside Red Borders
WIESBADEN, Germany (P)
Nine United States airmen re-
turned yesterday from 10 days de-
tention in the Soviet Union With
the story of how their unarmed
transport landed in flames after
being fired upon by MIG fighters.
Five of the men bailed out of
the burning plane. The other four
were fired upon as they were about
to land.
All the weary crew were flon
to Wiesbaden after being turned
over to American authorities in
Iran Monday by Soviet officials.
Seemed Well
All appeared to be in good con-
dition, although Airman Peter .
Sabo of Chicago was said to be
suffering second-degree burns.
Airman Earl H. Reamer of St.
Louis Park, Minn., had a shaved
spot on one side of his head, indi-
cating he had suffered a minor
injury.
Because of the mens fatigue, Air
Force officers postponed the new
conference that had been arranged
for the returned fliers.
Air Force Account
But the Air Force gave their first
account of the forced landing o
June 27 while on a flight with su-
plies from Wiesbaden to Pakistan.
The big C118 transport strayed
across the Soviet border in bad
weather and was intercepted by
two Soviet MIG jet fighters .
15,000 feet.
The plane was set afire by the
first shots from the MIGs. Five
crew members took to their para-
chutes but the other four remaied
aboard to ride the plane to a land-
ing.
Second Firing
'With five parachutes in the air
and the aircraft in flames the So-
viet planes made another firing
pass on the crippled plane when
it was on the final approach for
a forced landing," the Air Force
account said
"Theburning plane exploded on
the ground shortly after the crew
members were able to reach
safety."
The Air Force added that the
landing wheels were down, indi-
cating readiness for landing, when
the MIGs made their second pass.
Their release still left nine
United States Army men in East
Germany.

WASHINGTON UP) - Bernard
Goldfine said last night he is
ready and willing to face House
investigators again today at a ses-

their demand for some of his rec-

Goldfine originally had been
told to be on hand for questioning
yesterday. But he asked for and
obtained a 24-hour breapher,
along with advice from the sub-
committee not to spend the time
spreading propaganda.
In a statement issued through
his publicity man, Goldfine an-
nounced he would answer all pert-

between Goldfine and the House

shaped up over what is pertinent
to the group's inquiry.

Speech Play, 'Inherit the Wind' To Open
"Inherit the Wind," a drama based on the famous Scopes trial
of 1925, will be presented at 8 p.m. today through Friday at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theater by the speech department.
In the records of history have been written the names of William
Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow and their part in the battle of
God versus Darwin, the theme of the Scopes trial,
However the authors of the play, Jerome Lawrence and Robert
E. Lee, have exercised their right of dramatic privilege and have
called Darrow Henry Drummond and referred to Bryan as Mathew
Harrison Brady,
'Open and Shut'
Portraying Drummond will be Joseph Ombry, Grad, and in the1
role of Brady will be Howard Green, Grad.
Technically, the issue in Daton, Tenn., in 1925 -as "an open and
shut case" in terms of law, John T. Scopes, known as Bertram Cates
in the play, was arrested because he defied a law written in the state
statute books.
This law clearly forbade the teaching of the Darwinian theory of
evolution to student.
Scopes was brought to trial with Bryan speaking in behalf of
