Senate Agrees To Eliminate
Federal Tax on Travel, Calls


WASHINGTON (R)-The Senate
agreed yesterday, to do away
with the federal taxes on travel,
telegrams and telephone calls, but
the House may balk.
i, Some Senators also sought -to
attach to a bill under debate pro-
visions for closing what they term
tax law loopholes.
Others were looking for a way
to use the bill to get the na-
tional highway program out of a
financial fix.
But for hours most of the action
was in Senatorial vocal cords.
The struggle with the particular
bill before the Senate is an an-
nual event. The main purpose of
the measure is to continue various

excise and corporation income
taxes at present levels for another
year.
Rates May Fall
Unless Congress does that be-
fore July 1, the rates would fall
back to the pre-Korean War
levels and the government would
be out of pocket some three bil-
lion dollars a year.
Even with the deadline coming
on, and with Democratic leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
threatening to force 'round-the-
clock sessions in order to get ac-
tion, the Senate showed little
inclination to hurry.
Finally Johnson got together
with a band of Democrats who
were pushing amendments aimed
at closing what they considered
loopholes through which $2,350,-
000,000 a year slips away from
the Treasury.
Debate Restricted
The result was an agreement to
restrict debate on the bill and all
amendments.
The Senate accepted it unani-
mously. Johnson said "we will at-
tempt to complete action on the
bill tonight."
At least eight amendments were
awaiting action at that point.
One proposed by Sen. Eugene
J. McCarthy (D-Minn.) would
eliminate the major benefits of a
stock dividend credit enacted in
1954.
Has Two Choices
The Senate has a choice of two
approaches for meeting a pros-
pective deficit in the highway
fund and heading off a gradual
shutdown of contract letting.
A Democrat, Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger of Oregon, proposed an
amendment that would conply
with President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's desires.
It proposed to boost the federal
gasoline tax from 3 to 4 cents
a gallon and put the $840,000,000
a year in expected revenue in the
highway fund.
Governors
In Russia
MOSCOW (AP)-A visiting group
of American governors warmly de-
fended the United States school
system yesterday against criticism
from a Soviet educational official.
The discussion wth Evgeni I.
Afanasenko, minister of education
of the Russian Federated Republic,
See related art, page 3.
grew so interesting thenine gov-
ernors passed up a scheduled sight-
'seeing trip to continue the friendly
debate.
The Soviet minister briefed the'
visitors on the Soviet educational
system and explained a recent
change instituted to "develop love
for labor."
Under the new setup children
will get less classroom instruction
and spend more time learning
trades.
Governor Leroy Collins of Flori-
da told Afanasenko, "From what
you say your educational system
is designed to serve the needs of
the state.
"Ours is designed to serve the
needs of the individual and we in-
tend to keep it that way. We be-
lieve the state benefits best that
way."
Gov. Collins, chairman of the
Governors Conference, added that
the secret of the American school
system is "the right to choose, the
right to succeed and the right to
fail."
In a discussion of teachers'
salaries, Afanasenko laughed and
said he thought teachers should be
paid more than governors because
their work is so important.

MSU To Meet
Labor Payroll
EAST LANSING (M)-Michigan
State University can meet a labor
payroll today, but must have state
cash for a $2,039,000 faculty pay-
roll due next Tuesday, a university
vice-president said yesterday.
Philip J; May said receipt of
summer school tuition fees will
take care of the labor payroll.
He added that if state funds are
not received in time to cover the

The., second method, suggested
by Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.),
was to take nearly a billion dol-
lars a year of taxes on cars,
trucks, buses, parts and lubricat-
ing oil out of the general revenues
of the Treasury and put it into
the highway fund.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
has frowned on that idea, saying
it would deprive the Treasury of
money neded for other essential
items.
The travel and communications
amendments, recommended by the
finance committee, were put into
the bill by voice vote.
One would end on August 1 the
10 per cent tax passengers pay on
train, plane and bus tickets. This
would cost 235 million dollars an-
nually in revenue.
The other would wipe out on
July 1, 1960, the 10 per cent com-
munications levy at a cost of 735
millions a year.
MSU Expels
3 Students,
Suspends 1
EAST LANSING W) - Three
Michigan State University students
were kicked out of school yester-
day for stealing final exams and
peddling copies for as much as $40.
A fourth was suspended for the
fall term but may then apply for
readmission. The fourth student
was one of those who purchased
some of the stolen material.
The announcement was made
througn the MSU Department of
Information Services. Names were
withheld.
The action was taken by Dean
of Students Thomas H. King on
recommendation of the faculty
committee on student conduct. "
MSU authorities still have under
review cases of about 20 students
who took part in rowdy demonstra-
tions on the campus the nights of
June 12, 13 and 14.
Eight demonstrators were ar-
rested by East Lansing police. Six
paid fines and the other two are
awaiting a verdict after a justice
court trial on charges of disorderly
conduct. The two who stood trial
pleaded innocent.
Of the three expelled in the
exam thefts, one student was a
part - time custodian who had
after-hours access to faculty of-
fices. The other two were involved
in reproduction and sale of the
exams.
After the first newsbreak on the
exam thefts, John A. Hannah, MSU
president, ordered a clamp-down
on release of information.
It has not been made clear ex-
actly how many bogus exam papers
were sold; although nine courses
reportedly were involved in the
thefts.

Long Asks
Separation
From Wife
BATON ROUGE (AP) - Gover-
nor Earl Long, battling for free-
dom from a state mental hospital,
yesterday filed a court suit asking
separation from his wife.
The suit, filed by attorney J. B.
Nesom, charged cruelty, deser-
tion, abandonment and slander.
Mrs. Long twice signed papers
committing the governor to psy-
chiatric wards at Galveston,
Texas, and Mandeville, La.
Mrs. Long Gone
Mrs. Long, who filed the appli-
cation asking the governor's con-
finement to the southeast Louisi-
ana (mental) hospital last week,
slipped out of the state Tuesday
night for parts unknown.
The 63-year-old governor goes
into court at Covington, La., to-
day at 10 a.m., (CST) asking re-!
lease from the hospital on grounds
he was illegally committed.
Long and his wife recently cele-
brated their 26th wedding anni-
versary.
Nesom said the suit, filed before
Family Court Judge Joe Sanders
was "the first step toward a di-
vorce"
Suspends Wife
The suit asking the separation
has the effect of temporarily sus-
pending Mrs. Lng's status as the
governor's wife, and also suspend-
ed her right to ask further com-
mitment to any hospital should
the governor be released from the
hospital today.
Mrs. Long was part of the fam-
ily faction that asked commit-
ment of the governor to the men-
tal hospital in Galveston May 30.
Long contended he was forcibly
removed from his mansion at
Baton Rouge for the plane trip to
Galveston, and she petitioned a
court last week to confine the
governor to Mandeville.
City Greets
Royal Pair
MONTREAL (P)-Queen Eliza-
beth II got a ticker tape welcome
in a near mob scene yesterday.
It was an enthusiastic prelude
to formal opening of the St. Law-
rence Seaway today by the Queen
and President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower.
Montreal is a hub for today's
ceremonies officially opening the
St. Lawrence Seaway, a joint
United States-Canadian project
that opens the heartland of
America to the deep sea ships.
Actually operations began April
25, and more than 1,500 vessels
have since used the waterway.
In the high spot, Queen Eliza-
beth and President Eisenhower
will make a 31-mile cruise aboard
her six million dollar yacht from
the Seaway entrance at St. Lam-
bert to Beauharnois, Que.

To Confer
On Budget
University's Future
Remains Uncertain
By THOMAS HAYDEN
Special to The Daily
HIDDEN VALLEY - The Uni-
versity Regents, gathered on the
plush grounds of the Hidden Val-
ley Ski Club 300 miles north of
Ann Arbor, prepared for their an-
nual conference session this morn-
ing.
As they meet, the financial fu-
ture of the University still re-
mains uncertain. The eight-man
board will hold a formal meeting
brief ty this morning, then set into
a round of informal talks about
the University's future.
"This has been a muddled,
muddled year," one of the Re-
gents said, expressing a general
opinion.
Budget Key Concern
The key concerns of the group
is the University's budget appro-
priation for the fiscal year 1959-
60. The bill providing $33.4 mil-
lion or an 11 per cent increase in
operating funds is in the third day
of its five-day layover period be-
fore it goes to the House of Rep-
resentatives for final considera-
tion.
The Senate passed the bill
Monday night.
While worries continue about
the budget appropriation, the Re-
gents were gratified yesterday by
the news that the University will
receive a check for its payroll next
week.
Administrators Attend
Also attending the meeting are
U n i v e r s i t y President Harlan
Hatcher, Vice-President and Dean
of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss,
Vice-President in Charge of Busi-
ness and Finance Wilbur K. Pier-
pont, and Vice-President and Di-
rector of the Dearborn Center
William E. Stirton.
Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs James A. Lewis, Director of
University Relations Lyle M. Nel-
son and Secretary to the Regents
Erich Walter are also attending
the session.
The Regents are guests of Re-
gent Leland I. Doan of Midland
at the retreat near Otsego, north
of Grayling. Annual meetings
have been held here since 1954.
