LXVIII, No. 15S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1958 FIVE CENTS ACTS ON EISENHOWER PROMISE: I d < UN Arms Requested To Help Lebanon Security Council Hears U.S. Plea; Russia Asks American Withdrawal UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A)-The United States last night called upon the United Nations to set up an international military force to protect the independence of Lebanon. The United States proposal was submitted to the United Nations Security Council after the Soviet Union had demanded that the council order the immediate withdrawal of American forces from Lebanon. The Soviet Union declared the presence of United States forces in the tiny Middle East country could plunge the world into the abyss Reaction MOSCOW (A') - The explo- sive events in the Middle East caused no visible reaction in the Russian capital yesterday. But the official Soviet news agency Tass branded the land- ing of American Marines in Lebanon an open act of aggres- sion, and Western diplomats did not try to conceal their concern. Few diplomats tried to min- imize the seriousness of the Middle East flareup. Most of the Western diplo- mats agreed that the Kremlin would try to label the Iraq re- volt as an overthrow of imper- ialist forces and the Lebanon developments as gross inter- ference in the internal affairs of the middle east. I Cuba Rebels Free Seven U.S. Airmen GUANTANAMO, Cuba (R) - Cuban rebels yesterday made good belatedly on their promise to start. releasing 29 American servicemen held as hostages. They freed a batch of seven and more are ex- pected today. Two United States Navy heli- copters flew into the rebels' mountain fastness and returned late yesterday afternoon with the first of the mass kidnap victims. All seemed well and cheerful. Kidnapped in June The 29 servicemen - a busload of them on a picnic from the United States naval base here - were kidnapped by the rebels June 26. Their Cuban bus driver also was freed. United States consular officials conducted a weeks-long negotia- tion campaign to, get the men re- turned. Earlier the rebels released 20 American and Canadian ci- vilians they also had seized. The seven sailors and marines got a warm welcome at the naval base. Boatswains Mate 2. C. Billy Ray Fox of Bloomfield, N.J., got a homecoming to remember. 'Looks Horrible' His pretty black-haired wife, Lee, smothered him with kisses and hugs. "He looks horrible," she said. "His cheeks are sunken and he is so thin. But I am happy again." Mrs. Fox, who was living at the base with their two daughters, said her husband had been due for a transfer to Bayonne, N.J., July 1. "Now I am sure we will all get there after all," she said. In general, the men appeared to be in good condition and high spirits. Alumni Fund Reaches Peak Contribution- to the University Alumni Fund reached a new 12- month high in the 1957-58 aca- demic year, according to James K. Miller, Alumni Fund manager. of a new global war. The United States resolution declared that the United States forces would remain in Lebanon only until the United Nations itself is able to assume the responsibility for Lebanon's in- dependence. A Soviet veto appeared certain. The United States proposal call- ed on Secretary General Dag Ham- marskjold to consult immediately with the government of Lebanon and other governments on addi- tional arrangements, including the contribution and use of military contingents, to stop outside aid to Lebanese rebels and protect the country. Urges Cooperation It also urged all governments concerned to cooperate with the secretary general. It further call- ed for the immediate cessation of all illegal infiltration of personnel or supply of arms to the Lebanese rebels from the outside. The Soviet protest against the landing of American forces was made by Ambassador Arkady A. Sobolev after the United States had formally notified the hurried- ly called session of the 11-nation council of the move. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge said the United States had moved to protect tiny Lebanon and other pro-Western countries, from pow- ers in the Middle East trying to crush them by ruthless aggres- sion. He urged the United Nations to act quickly to stabilize the Middle East so American forces could be withdrawn. And he announced he would begin consultations urgent- ly with United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and other delegations on concrete pro- posals. Want Security Force Informed quarters said the Unit- ed States had. in mind some sort of United Nations security force, somewhere between the watchdog team now in Lebanon and the United Nations emergency force in the Gaza strip. Diplomats saw little hope that such a plan would escape a Soviet veto in view of Sobolev's bitter denunciation of any form of inter- vention in the Middle East either by the Western Powers or by the United Nations. It was expected, however, that a veto would either result in an emergency session of the General Assembly or in continuation of the American forces in Lebanon. GOLDFINE: House IRefuses Proposal WASHINGTON A) - House in- vestigators yesterday turned down the proposal by Bernard Goldfine to let a federal judge decide whether their questions are prop- er or not. The special House Investigating Committee acted at a closed ses- sion called to discuss, among oth- er things, the proposition made by a Goldfine lawyer to go into United States court here for a judgment on whether the com- mittee's questions are pertinent. After the session, Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark) told news- men the subcommittee turned up a new cas, not concerning Gold- fine, which he said involves gross political interference and influ- ence. Declines Comment Harris declined to say whether presidential assistant Sherman Adams, a friend of Goldfine, was connected with it. Harris named the mill involved as Raylaine Worsted Inc., of Man- chester, N. H., and said the data obtained by the subcommittee constitutes "ample information as to show there was gross political inteference and influence." He said the special subcommit- tee decided that the case is out- side its assigned jurisdiction and therefore is turning it over to the House Armed Services Committee. Dislikes Suggestions Harris told the Boston million- aire he doesn't think much of sug- gestions that a committee of Con- gress abdicate its authority. He declined to say whether possible contempt of Congress ac- tion against Goldfine would be discussed. The gift-giving textile magnate has been warned con- tinued refusal to reply to com- mittee questions might bring on such action. However, Rep. John Bell Wil- liams (D-Miss.) told a reporter the committee i in no hurry to decide whther to seek a citation. Harris announced Goldfine will return today for .questioning.

British troops were reported alerted to speed to the aid of pro- Western Jordan if King Hussein should ask for such help. British forces were also reported poised to intervene in nearby Iraq if it developed the pro-Western gov- ernment there asked for aid against a serious rebel onslaught which seized control Monday. A congressional source said he understood the British and pos- sibly the French also might rein- force the United States Marines who landed in a picnic-like at- mosphere without casualties at Beirut Harbor yesterday morning. The White House, in announc- ing the single-handed United States move, said it answered an urgent plea from Lebanon's presi- dent Camille Chamoun to Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower Mon- day morning. Met With Dulles Government officials reported that President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles tenta- tively decided to intervene Mon- day morning. This was discussed with congressional leaders at a 21%2 hour meeting at the White House late Monday. Dulles secretly advised British, French, German and Italian dip- lomats of the Prospect Monday night. He met also with Lebanon's visiting foreign minister, Charles Malik, to inform him. Marine Role Cloudy The role the Marines would play in Lebanon was kept deliberately clouway. Some authorities said they would shoot, if necessary, to help the Lebanese government forces restore stability. The main hope was that their mere presence would be enough to frighten the rebels into giving up their fight. June Shows Income Up WASHINGTON (;) - A broad recovery from recession lows was reflected yesterday in reports showing June increases in indus- trial production and personal in- come. Some improvement was noted in almost all segments of business and industry and most laggard groups at least held their own. The Federal Reserve Board's index of industrial production rose two points to 130 per cent of the 1947-49 average. This compared with a recession low of 126 in April and a postwar high of 145 last August. It was the second straight increase in this monthly measure of output of the nation's mines and factories. Personal income, the Commerce Department said, rose in June to a sasonally adjusted aennual rate of $351,800,000,000. Personal income last month was nearly two billion dollars higher th:n the annual rate for May, the Commerce Department said. It re- ported that the rise centered in wage and salary payments. Reinforcements Sent to Mid-East President, in Statement, Pledges To Support Troops if Necessary WASHINGTON ill - The United States acted last night upon the promise of President Dwight D. Eisenhower to throw more help - if more help is needed - into the rescue of the government of revolt-shattered Lebanon. Speaking to the nation through newspapers and by tele- vision and radio broadcasts the chief executive, in the grav- est crisis to confront the country since Korea, said he was prepared to reinforce the 5,000 marines who went ashore in Lebanon if need be. Within hours the Defense De- partment gave armed weight to his words. Airlift Begins The Atlantic Fleet began an air- ' ;h lift of an undisclosed number of assault marines from Cherry e who has been unable to live with the wife he loves. fl,- has been un- able to filed the answers to life with the aid of his psychoanalyst, Dr. Kreuzer, played by Nick Ha- venga.

Scenery was designed by Ralph Duckwall, Jr., of the speech department, and costumes were created by Phyllis Pletcher Rodgers. See text of statement, page 4 Point, N. C., to a Mediterranean point of quick readiness to sup- port those in Lebanon, should the need arise. They were flown in Marine Corps air transports and were de- scribed as ready for combat. President Eisenhower simul- taneously ordered fighting men around the globe alerted to the chance of any counter-stroke from the Communist world. He warned the nation that seri- ous consequences might result from United States intervention in the explosive, oil rich Middle East. But he said solemnly: Must Meet Situation "We must, however,- be pre- pared to meet the situation, what- ever oe the consequences." Russia immediately denounced the United States action. As a precaution, the United States Strategic Air Bomber Fleet was placed on an alert yesterday afternoon. The Atlantic and Paci- fic Fleets canceled all leaves and put their warships on a four-hour alert. Marines Land These far-reaching develop- ments came during a day of hec- tic activity at the White House beginning with yesterday morn- ing's announcement that Marines were landing in Lebanon. President Eisenhower said the Marines, backed by powerful war- ship and air force units, were rushed to Lebanon to prevent the tiny Mideast country from falling victim to the same pattern of conquest that menaced Czecho- slovakia, China, Korea and Indo- china. "We had hoped that these threats to the peace and to the independence and integrity of small nations had come to. an end," he said. "Unhappily, now they reappear. Lebanon was se- lected to become a victim." raitics More aching Device HEADED BY PRESIDENT: Civihan Space Agency Established bV Congress WASHINGTON (A)-Senate-House conferees agreed yesterday on creation of a new civilian space agency to be controlled by the Presi- dent with the advice of an eight-member Council. The compromise bill is expected to be taken up in the House today or tomorrow. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas said the Senate will be ready to pass on it soon afterward. ' As worked out by the conferees, the bill would give the President overriding power over the agency and would make the Council an advisory body rather than an op- erating committee. The conferees also added some civilian, nongov- ernment weight to the Council. Creative Drai Sen.

However, most were in agree- ment about four main points: 1) The revolts in both Iraq and Lebanon are not, most students emphatically agreed, Communist- inspired. On the contrary most Arabs are anti-Communist, wish- ing to be free of all foreign influ- ence and .maintain a policy of "positive neutralism." Nasser to Benefit 2) President Gamal Abdel Nas- ser, of the United Arab Republic, is not behind these events, though he will probably stand to benefit from them. Rather, Arab nation- alism and the desire for Arab uni- ty were viewed as thermotivating factors behind these revolts. 3) Both revolts are the internal affairs of the respective countries and for them to settle, not the Western powers. 4) The United States should have waited for United Nations action before sending her troops into Lebanon, for Arab opinion will be antagonized by such ac- tion. However, the damage to United States and Western pres- tige can be minimized if there is no enlargement in the scope of the intervention. Further Action Harmful Any further United States ac- tion, with or without Anglo- French forces, will greatly wors- en the situation. "One Arab nation is the dream of all Arabs," said Kana'an J. Al- Komser, Grad., of Iraq, and there "will soon be a union of all Arab peoples." Who will head the union, Al-Komser was not sure, but if Nasser proves himself the most able, the people will elect him. Nasser, he continued, is the sym- bol of Arab nationalism to the Middle East peoples. His sentiments were voiced also Band To Perform on Diag { D. Eisenhower's approval. Presi- dent Eisenhower had asked for creation of the agency along lines agreed upon by the conferees. The new agency would take over from the 47-year-old National Ad- visory Committee on Aeronautics, which now does advanced research on flight problems. It would have a greatly expanded staff and add- ed powers. Hugh L. Dryden, now NACA di- rector, is expected to get the $22,- 500-a-year job as administrator. Russians Ask Peace Treaty LONDON () - Russia yester- day offered to join with all the People who consider creative dramatics as a mere teaching device or as therapy should see a demonstration where it reaches the highest realms and becomes an art, Winifred Ward declared yesterday. Prof. Ward, children's theater expert, spoke before the Speech Department's speech assembly. She is assistant professor emeritus in the school of speech at Northwestern Univtrsity and has served 25 years as director of Children's Theater in Evanston, Ill., an organiza- tion which she founded. Used as Therapy Psychologists took over creative dramatics as a therapeutic measure to have their patients "act out" situations disturbing them, Prof. Ward noted. Creative drama also has been used "to sugar coat a bitter education pill," but this, the professor explained, "cheapens it." "The main function of creative dramatics is not to teach, but to enjoy and enrich," she maintained. Creative dramatics encourages the child to be himself, to take responsibility and work harmoniously in a group, Prof. Ward related. Improvised dialogue is not easy, she emphasized, but it teaches the: child how to react to others in different situations. "This makes the I ..U' I % I '#t ~.. I -~U ~., M~ ~U 4
