PanelExpresses Disapproval
OfUS Actions in Mid-East
By LANE VANDERSLICE
An overflow crowd at the Mich-
igan Union last night both heard
and expressed disapproval of
United States action in the Middle
East.
The majority of the panelists
and audience alike said 'the
UniteduStates should not have
sent troops into Lebanon. Many
said the Arabs should be free to
work out their 'own problems
without interference of any sort.
They held that Arab national-
ism is not necessarily pro-Cor-
munist. .
U. S. Criticized
They criticized what they said
was the United States policy of
thinking any ddle-eastern re-
gime was necessarily pro-Commu-.
nist if it was not pro-American.
A student from the United Arab
Republic said the Arab nations
want to disally themselves from
the super-powers because they
"want to have freedom of action."

WASHINGTON (R)-- The gov-
ernment decided yesterday to
broaden its jurisdiction over thou-
sands of previously exempt labor
complaint and election cases, ef-
fective Sept. 1.
The National Labor Relations
Board announced that it was sub-
stantially reducing the business
volume standards which it has
used in deciding whether to ac-
cept jurisdiction over such cases.
It was estimated unofficially
the new jurisdictional rules will
expand NLRB's caseload by ap-
proximately 20 per cent. The case-
load now is running at record pro-
portions, with complaints coming
in at a clip of about 1,000 a
month.
The NLRB has jurisdiction over
labor complaint and bargaining
rights cases of employes and firms
affecting interstate commerce.
This covers practically all firms,
except that the NLRB, as author-
ized by law, voluntarily narrowed
its jurisdictional standards in
1954 to cut the caseload.
In announcing the new rules,
which will approximately restore
NLRB jurisdictional scope to
where it stood in 1954, the board
said Congresshas just included
11/2 million dollars in a total $13,-
100,000 appropriation to enable it
to take on more cases.

WASHINGTON (F) -President
Dwight D. Eisenhower has declinedI
to put a "must" label on any pend-
ing legislation.

can adjourn by Aug. 9.1
Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill re-a

ference of GOP leaders with Presi-
dent Eisenhower yesterday that!
;
saab, Grad., said the Arab nations
cannot concentrate on internal
problems because of the external
problems created by the interest
of great powers in the area.
Bretton Questioned
Many of the questions were di-
rected to Prof. Henry L. Bretton
of the political science depart-
ment, as the only citizen of the
United States on the panel. Prof.
Bretton pointed out, as did all the
panelists, that he was not official-
ly representing his country.
In sending troops into Lebanon,
the United States was trying to
stabilize the Mid-Eastern situa-
tion and not trying to aid Cha-
moun' in his political troubles,
Prof. Bretton said.
Distrusts Russia
The United States also inter-
vened because it distrusts Rus-
sian intentions in the Middle East,
and wants to insure proper trans-
ition from the old order to new,
Prof. Bretton said.
He emphasized that the long
range objectives of the Arabs and
the United States were in agree-
ment, including the economic and
political development of the Arab
;tates an dthe extension to the
Arab people of all the fundamen-
tal liberties United States citizens
enjoy.
In an emotional, but often hu-
morous atmosphere, the crowd
heard:
1) An Iraq panelist, Fadhil Ras-
sool, Grad., say that neither Nas-
ser or the Soviet Union had a
part in the Iraq revolution. He
said that Iraq was under "a con-
stant reign of terror," with "fab-
ricated elections," and suppres-
sion of political parties.
Experts Say
U.S. Economy
Moves Upward
WASHINGTON () -President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's economic
advisers reported yesterday the na-
tion's economy has definitely
swung upward from its recession
low.
They estimated that total output
of goods and services in the April-
June quarter increased to 428 bil-
lion dollars at an annual rate.
This was up from the January-
March low of 425% billion dollars
and compared with last summer's
peak of 445 / billion dollars.
The boost in this broadest of
economic indicators, called gross
national product or GNP, was
caused by bigger purchases by
individuals and by the federal gov-
ernment.-
It was registered despite the fact'
that businesses continued to eat!
deeply into their inventories.
In a separate report, the Com-
merce Department reviewed eco-
nomic developments in June and
reported additional evidence of
firmer business conditions.
The department's survey of cur-
rent business said the decline in
purchases of such consumtr du-
rables as autos and appliances ap-
peared to have been substantially
halted
2) A Lebanese student, Usamal
al Khalidi, Grad. say that the
opposition to Chamoun is from
people who "in no case" want to
Join the UAR. He also said that
the bulk of the fighting in Leba-
non was between pro- and anti-
government rebels.
3) Omesh Khanna, Grad., an
Indian member of the panel, say,
that Arab leaders think of Cha-
moun as "quite treacherous."
4) An English panel member,
Beverley Pooley, Grad., say that
Americans have been "very subtly
persuaded" into an imperialistic
view in the Middle East by Brit-
ish diplomats.
5) A re-affirmation of the be-
lief in Arab; nationalism from
Archie Singham, Grad., from Cey-
lon, coupled with a warning of the
potential danger of Arab who pay
only "lip service" to nationalist
causes.

Values Differ
Public talk has many roles and
thus has different values for its
various audiences, Brablec ob-
served. Those who listen to the
speech directly receive different
overtones than those who hear a
tape-recorded broadcast.
Business and professional people
sometimes have trouble speaking,
anld it is the responsibility of pro-
fessional speech teachers to help
them, Brablec stated.
There is great mental anguish
connected with giving a speech,
Brablec declared, and those who
agonize too much shouldn't be
forced to make public talks. We
may never know the kind of dam-
age that results from a situation
in which a person is compelled to
speak against his will, he contin-
ued.
Would Give Credit
For these reason, Brablec de-
clared, he personally would be
inclined to give speech credit to
a high school student who had
never delivered a speech.
Speech courses tend to attract
peope with high ability who are
ambitious and have constructive
aggressiveness, he maintained.
What these people can obtain
from a speech class is "how and
when to transmit these capabili-
ties."
Brablec was introduced by James
A. Lewis, U-M vice-president for
student affairs.
Prof. Fischer
To Give Talk
Prof. George Fischer of Bran-
deis University and Harvard's
Russian Research Center will de-
liver a lecture on "Industrializa-
tion and Soviet Politics" at 4:15
p.m. today in Aud. B, Angell Hall.
Prof. Fischer, graduate of the
University of Wisconsin and Har-
vard University, and son of a for-
eign correspondent formerly in
Moscow, will analyze develop-
ments in the Soviet Union in the
light of historic influences rising
out of industrialization.
A former resident and student
in the Soviet Union, Prof. Fischer
will draw on his background in
his interpretation of Soviet life.

'To Maintain
Forces' Size
WASHINGTON (P)--A Senate
appropriations subcommittee voted
yesterday in the light of the Mid-
east upheaval, to turn down an
administration request to cut the
size of the Army, Marines, Na-
tional Guard and reserves.
At the same time, the House
Appropriations Committee accused
the armed forces of waste and poor
planning. It slashed by nearly one-
third the money asked for con-
struction at military bases in the
United States and abroad.
In shrinking the funds by 511%
million dollars from the one and
three-quarter billion dollars asked,
the committee said too many re-
quests were based on "Merely a
dream in some planner's mind."
Cut 'Nonessential'
Out went such items as officers'
swimming pools and elaborate
housing accommodations. Others
were sharply cut. The committee
called them undesirable or not
essential.
The Senate subcdmmittee voted
to keep in the Defense Depart-
ment's appropriations bill enough
money to retain the military forces
at no lower than current levels--
as voted by the House.
The Army would have enough
funds for the current year, which
started July 1, to stay at 900,000
men, the National Guard at 400,-
000, the reserves at 300,000 and the
Marines at 200,000.
Cuts Recommended
Before the Middle East crisis
flared last week, Secretary of De-
fense Neil M. McElroy had recom-
mended that the Army be cut to
870,000, the Marine Corps to 175,-
000, the National Guard to 360,000
and the reserves to 270,000.
Sec. McElroy told the senators
earlier that even if Congress pro-
vided the funds for the larger
force the Pentagon would not be
obligated to spend them. That was
before units of all the services were
dispatched to the Middle East.
The over-all defense bill came
from the House carrying 38%
billion dollars-which was 212%
million dollars more than Presi-
dent Eisenhower asked.

Khrushchev Again
Demands Withdrawal
Of Mid-East Forces
WASHINGTON (M - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Brit-
ain's Prime Minister Sir Harold
Macmillan offered last night to
discuss the Middle East crisis with
Russia's Premier Nikita Khrush-
chev at a summit meeting of the
United Nations Security Council.
But France's Premier Charles de
Gaulle held back, proposing an-
other time and place. He said the
United Nations headquarters in
New York lacks the calm and
serenity needed for such an emer-
gency meeting.
What Khrushchev would say re-
mained uncertain. He had sug-
gested a session at Geneva or any-
where.
Allies Split
The three Western allies split
publicly in replying to Khrush-
chev's call for an immediate five-
nation conference. The Soviet lead-
er himself again demanded swift
withdrawal of United States-Brit-
ish forces sent to Lebanon and
Jordan to bolster pro - Western
governments there.
These developments came during
a day of fast-moving diplomatic
jockeying in the four capitals:
Washington - President Eisen-
hower flung back at Khrushchev
his accusation that the United
States and Britain have gravely
endangered world peace. In a bit-
terly worded note, he challenged
Khrushchev to complain personally
to the 11-nation United Nations
Security Council.
U.S. Would Join
"If such a meeting were gen-
uinely desired, the United States
would join in following that ord'er
ly procedure," the President said.
President Eisenhower made no
promise to meet face-to-face with
Khrushchev. He noted tersely
Council members could be repre-
sented by chiefs of government
and foreign ministers. But respon-
sible officials thought he would
have to'' show up if Khrushchev
and other heads of government
did.
London-In a far softer reply
that went further than President
Eisenhower's, Macmillan formally
suggested a summit level meeting
of the U.N. Security Council. Mac-
millan even set forth some ground
rules-saying the meeting should
seek to discuss the problems and
not vote on any specific resolution
unless all agreed in advance,
Aims at Agreement
"In other words, the object
would be to reach fruitful agree-
ments rather than to register dif-
ferences by votes," he wrote
Khrushchev. "I hope this spirit
will prevail.
"I would certainly be ready to
attend such a meeting, if you
would go, and I take it from the
terms of your message that you
would. . , . I should certainly be
glad to explain to you face-to-face
how Her Majesty's government
view the problems which beset the
area."
Paris - Premier de Gaulle saidx
he was ready to work out with
other powers a suitable time and
place for a summit conference. But
he objected to convening such a
parley now at the U.N. on the
grounds that it lacks the calm and
serene atmosphere he wants for
such talks.
Allies Given Warning
Moscow-Khrushchev, in a free-
swinging speech at the Polish Em-
bassy, said the United States and
Britain could be crushed in a rising
tide of Arab nationalism unless
they pull their troops out of the
Middle East.
He gave no clue about whether
he would accept a U.N. summit
meeting as a substitute for his
proposal for an immediate meet-

Curtis (R-Mo.) contends the House was brought

Curtis proposed that a special

Rep. Howard W. Smith (D-Va),

that Curtis was proposing very
strange procedure.
"You're proposing here the crea-
