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." The same student, George Abi- Broffadened 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.

Everett Dirksen (R-Ill re-a ported after a White House con-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. REGENT CARL BRABLEC ... addresses assembly '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. Burton Holmes Dead at 88 HOLLYWOOD (P)-The father of the travelogue, Burton Holmes, died yesterday at the age of 88. Holmes has been in retirement since 1950 and in failing health for months. It was nearly seven decades ago that his fascination for photog- raphy led to the presentation of the first travelogue in Chicago. For more than a half century, Holmes combed the world iri every conveyance imaginable - from rickshaw to airplane-accumulat- ing material that never rewarded him with riches but left him Nations Disagre mmit Conference U.S., Britain Okay Parley; French Balk. 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- ASE: ittee Shelves tgation Request om) -- A GOP move to investigate the investi- dams reached the House Rules Committee yes- to be headed for a high back shelf. Curtis (R-Mo.) contends the House was brought tactics of a subcommittee which inquired into Adams' relations with Bernard Goldfine, the gift-giving Boston textile millionaire. Swing Your Partner I Asks Special Committee Curtis proposed that a special committee be appointed to deter- mine whether the subcommittee violated any House rules by per- mitting what he called public de- famation of individuals on unsub- stantiated hearsay testimony. Rep. Howard W. Smith (D-Va), chairman of the Democratic-con- trolled Rules group, commented that Curtis was proposing very strange procedure. "You're proposing here the crea- tion of an investigating committee to investigate an investigating committee," Smith went on. "And if yuu ever start on that, the Lord only knows where you'll end." The Curtis resolution is dead unless it is cleared by the Rules Committee. Every indication was that it would be shelved. 32: ,: :iL Q \': -* O . .t ' . + .ti * **._ '"ff~. . :. :
