To be established immediately, the Center for Research on Con- flict Resolution will pioneer a search for world peace by means of the social sciences. "This is the kind of free-wheel-. ing enterprise a University should GOV. EARL LONG ... released from hospital Lon Leaves F'nJstitution In Louisiana COVINGTON, La. (A) - Gov- ernor Earl K. Long of Louisiana bulldozed his way out of a state mental hospital yesterday and charged along a vengeance trail against politicians he figures have done him wrong. The 63-year-old governor - 27 days in two mental hospitals be- bind him - savored his freedom 1e~s than an hour, then picked his first victim. He was Louisiana's state police chief, John Nick Brown. Gov. Long fired Brown and named E. P. Roy, a former state police head, his successor. Brown's police helped guard the governor at Southeast Louisiana (mental) Hospital in Mandeville, La. In Baton Rouge, where political hurricane signals are flying, an informed source said of Gov. Long: "He's sore about people turning their backs on him." Talks to Press After disappearing for a couple of hours, Gov. Long turned up at a motel south of Covington where he told newsmen he would con- tinue the campaign for governor he announced before his confine- mert in a Texas psychiatric clinic. "I know I am," he answered when asked if he would run this fall. Before his hospitalization and the following uproar, Gov. Long said he thought he would have to make 300 speeches during the cam- paign.. "Now I think I can get by with 100," he snapped. Another source indicated Gov. Long would call a special session of the Louisiana legislature, which just completed an uproarious fiscal session at mid-June. Some of the Governor's pet bills went down the drain at that session. But, anyone who actually knew where the slings and arrows of an outraged governor would fall next wasn't talking. Freedom Comes Rapidly The actual sequence that pro- vided freedom for Gov: Long came rapidly and as a surprise. It started with an emergency meeting of the Louisiana Hospital Board in the schoolhouse where hundreds of Louisianans had gathered to watch the Governor fight his legal battle for freedom by habeas corpus. Seven members of the 14-mem- ber hospital board, plus two proxies, gathered with the Gov- ernor. Rapidly, with board recom- mendation, Long fired Jesse Banks- ton, State Hospitals Director and Dr. Charles Belcher, acting super- intendent of Southeast Hospital. In their places, Gov. Long ap- pointed Charles Rosenblum, a board member, and Dr. L. H. Mc- Lendon, a 72-year-old friend of undertake," Regent Donald Thur- ber, of Groose Pointe, declared. May Not Progress Acknowledging the possibility of little progress from the Center, Thurber added "a university should sometimes take risks, and this seems to be one of those times." Vice-President and Dean of Fac- ulties Marvin L. Niehuss agreed the plan was "very ambitious and may not go far." , Nevertheless, he continued, "it's intriguing, exciting and perhaps promising." Appoint Committee Functioning within the literary college,, the Center will be co- ordinated by a seven - member committee. Appointed to the group were Prof. Robert Angell of the sociology department, Prof. Kenneth Bould- ing of economics department, Prof. Inis Claude of the political science department, Prof. Robert Hefner of the psychology department, Prof. Daniel Katz- of the psychol- ogy department and Prof. Wesley Maurer of the journalism depart- ment. William Barth will serve as executive secretary of the Center. An anonymous pledge of $65,000 will cover administrative expenses of the Center for the next three years. Funds from foundations and other donors will support the pro- gram over the same period. To Promote Research The Center will seek to promote and develop research internation- ally and will have its own research and research training program. Its goal will be the attraction of a large number of social scientists at institutions throughout the world to do research on the resolu- tion of international conflicts. The Center will sponsor conferences and seminars to this end. Its program will involve studies in (1) implications of permanent peace, (2) conflict resolution and peace-making and (3) "politico- metric" studies. To Study Implications of Peace The first area is considered necessary since a major obstacle on the road to permanent peace is the inability to visualize what a world at permanent peace would be like and an associated, though Panel TopiC TolBe City Second on the summer series of lectures, "Modern Man Looks Forward," will be a symposium on "The City in Transition." The panel will discuss the re- development of the modern met- ropolitan community with em- phasis_ on the future of Detroit at 8 p.m. Monday in Aud. A, Angell Hall. Dean Philip M. Youtz, of the architecture and design school will serve as moderator on the panel of five. Charles Blessing, a member of the American Institute of Archi- See Related Story, Page 3 tects and the Detroit Planning Commission, will speak on "Re- building the City." Thomas Creighton, also of the American Institute of Architects and editor of Progressive Archi- tecture, will discuss "Perspectives on the Future." John C. Kohl, director of the University's Transportation Insti- tute, will speak on "Softening the Arteries" with Otto L. Nelson Jr., vice-president in charge of hous- ing for the New York Life Insur- ance Company, will discuss "The Stake of Business." often hidden, fear of permanent peace, Research in the second area will venture into many fields in which conflict is a widespread phenom- enon, including industrial, family and race relations, factional dis- putes and the struggle of political parties. A project on foreign policy goals and the compatibility of values in the United States and the Soviet Union is one of many studies planned in this area. To Analyze Information The third area of research planned will involve the accumu- lation and analysis of informa- tion in order to develop better measures of preventive interna- tional tension, to forecast the fu- ture of international relations and to determine the consequences of armament races, international transactions and international trade. The concept of the Center emerged from the success of the pamphlet "The Journal of Con- flict Resolution: A Quarterly for Research Related to: War and Peace," published by the University journalism department. "There seems to be no doubt but that they're picking up momentum and gaining world-wide attention," Niehuss said. He said there was "no stronger group of men- professionally in- terested in these problems than at the University." Johansson Wins Title NEW YORK (P) -'Sweden's Ingemar Johansson uncovered the mystery right hand- he hid in training and won the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion- ship last night by flooring Floyd Patterson seven times and stop- ping the defending king in 2:03 of the third round. It was the most dramatic and shocking boxing upset since Schmeling flattened Joe Louis in 1936, Written off as a poor five to one underdog, the unbeaten mod- ern day viking from Goteborg be- came the first non-American born heavy champion since Primo Car- nera in 1933-34. Cinderella Story Ingemar, the flop of the 1952 Olympics when he was disquali- fied for not fighting in the final bout with America's Ed Sanders, thus completed one of the great- est Cinderella stories in the an- nals of the ring by beating the man who was the hero of the same Helsinki Olympics. Seven times the gory Patterson was sent reeling to the canvas with blood streaming from his face. He never seemed to know what hit him after the first right hand dumped him on his back for nine. He barely beat the count and walked off toward Johans- son's corner, staring off into space, while Johansson clobbered him with another right hand. Down for counts of nine, nine, six, six, seven and nine, the com- pletely stunned and bewildered. young New Yorker was saved from complete destruction by referee Ruby Goldstein. - Down Seven Times When Patterson went down for the seventh time, the count had reached only one when the ref- eree stopped the complete slaugh- ter.

The move heralded, a floor fight on the issue. Sen. Elmer R. Porte (R - Blissfield), appropriations chairman, predicted the committee decision would stick, although some other Senators weren't so sure. The final outcome thus appeared headedl for a House-Senate con- ference committee determination, possibly late next week. Cash Crisis Unsettled The development came shortly before the Legislature quit for the weekend, leaving major tax, cash crisis and 1959-60 budget ques- tions unsettled after 107 days of meetings. The Senate cold-shouldered a suggestion by Sen. Haskell L. Nichols (R-Jackson) for an ex- traordinary Saturday morning session to keep plugging away at the problems. Both Senate and House ham- mered away at the budget build- ing process, with the ultimate gen- eral fund expenditure blueprint apparently destined for somewhere between 405 and 425 million dol- lars, a record.' Budget May Set Record If the Senate and House split their differences on school aid and agreed to a 15 million dollar capital outlay program, the budget would come out at about 415 million dol- lars. This would compare with 332 millions initially voted a year ago for fiscal 1958-59 and final au- thorizations, after supplementa- tion this spring, of about 380 mil- lions. The second major spending bill of the 11 that will make up the new general fund budget cleared the Legislature yesterday when the House agreed to a Senate recom- mendation of $17,275,000 for adult corrections purposes. Pass. Welfare Allotment A $70,273,000 allotmentfor social welfare purposes already has been passed and signed by Governor G. Mennen Williams. As the lawmakers scattered, they left behind scores of bills that died for failure to emerge from com- mittees and were cut down by the third in a series of progress dead- lines leading up to final legislative adjournment.< Of 20-odd bills that escaped death in the Senate at the last minute one of the more surprising was a measure to give statutory recognition to a gover lor's civil war centennial commission already in existence. Predicted Failure Sen. Perry W. Greene (R-Grand Rapids) had said a couple of days ago that the bill would not be ap- proved by his State Affairs Com- mittee. Greene said members finally concluded that the commission should be given the prestige of; specific legislative recognition. -Daily-Ai Erbe RARING TO GO-The "Bearcats," traditional name for the band accompanying a production of "The Boy Friend," is led in the local showing by Paul Miller. He thinks more musicals should be produced by the speech department. FIRST IN SIX YEARS: Technical LmtMscDifficulties LmtMscl Discussions By KATHLEEN MOORE For the first time in about six years the speech department is putting on a musical comedy. Why doesn't it produce them more often? Whatever the reason, Paul Miller, musical director for the currently-playing musical comedy, "The Boy Friend," hopes it will. To Change Student ID's The University is on the verge of a shift to new identification cards. The new ID's, which will prob- ably be issued to freshmen and those needing replacements in the fall, will be wallet-sized photo- graphs. The photograph will con- tain the student's picture, name, local address and other informa- tion. The student picture and infor- mation are photographed simul- taneously with a dual-lens camera on 35 mm. film. If altered, the card will show it immediately, Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis said. The new card will be speedier to produce, prevents tampering and since it will be issued every year will contain current data, Assistant Dean of Men Karl D.' Streiff said. Each fall the student will fill out an IBM card with the infor- mation to appear on the ID. This card will then be placed in a camera and photographed at the same time as the student, placing both pictures on one negative. The print will be the ID card. Lewis said forging ID's "is not a major problem at present, but there's enough to worry about." Characterizing the art form as the closest thing to what opera was to the public of the 19th cen- tury, he called its performance by students for the public a "great" opportunity for both groups. Quick to qualify his "danger- ous" comparison of opera and musical, he said the latter form is "less restrained. "You can move the body more and come down over the footlights to 'really belt a song out' if it's that type.'' The teacher of band and or- chestra in Milford likes the inte- gration of music and acting in dramatic productions and con- siders the speech department's of- ferings an excellent way for mu- sicians to "get to know" the theatre. One of the problems in a stu- dent production of a musical, and at the same time a good reason to have more of them, is the fact; that "very few people are ex- perienced in song-and-dance." Getting back to his most imme- diate concern, "The Boy Friend," he said most of the cast had "for- tunately" had some training in song-and-dance and more than adequate time to rehearse for the show. During rehearsals, the cast worked mainly with a skeleton orchestra and only about two nights with the full complement of musicians. Gazing into the smallish orchestra pit, the direc- Fire Causes Little Damaoe In West Quad Flames shot up in the West Quadrangle kitchen about 3:20 p.m. yesterday, causing some ex- citement, but little damage. Overheated grease in one of the deep-frying units caught fire, but the Fire Department had the blaze extinguished in a matter of minutes. Immediate checks on the extent of the fire and smoke showed it was confined to the kitchen, Jack Hale, resident director of the quadrangle said, so no general alarm was sounded. Hale described the fire as "com- paratively minor," partly because the equipment involved rests di- rectly beneath a ventilation hood which tended to control the flames and protect the kitchen against smoke damage. The equipment involved was of for vocally wondered how he'd manage to jump over the railing at each performance. "It's the first time I've gotten all the musicians into the pit - they 'usually overflow on either side," he said, but the 12-member group, including "swinging" ban- jos, leaves him no room for a di- rect entrance, "It's not the easiest thing in the world to get a controlled orches- tra so the voices can be heard all over the theatre," he remarked, "particularly in one the size of Lydia Mendelssohn." The cast, too, has a few more worries when putting on a musi- cal. Just developing enough en-, durance so you have enough voice left to sing after a dance routine may seem "rather obvious," he said, "but try it sometime." State Paper Investigated WASHINGTON (P) - The De- troit Times paid a Teamsters Union official about $36,000 over about five years to stave off labor difficulties, the Senate Rackets Committee was told yesterday. Committee Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) called it a shakedown. Business Manager Charles R. Obermeyer of The Times conceded the arrangement was "absolutely not" proper, and said it had been ended last Wed- nesday. Obermeyer testified that Joseph Prebenda, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 372, was kept on the payroll at a full-time driver's salary mainly because "we want to avoid trouble." Accused of Not Working Prebenda has been an employe of the newspaper since 1921 but has done less and less and in the past three years has done hardly anything for the paper, Ober- meyer said. Summoned to the witness chair, Prebenda challenged Obermeyer's statement that he was doing little to earn his pay. While acknowl- edging he doesn't drive every day, Prebenda insisted he does other chores for the paper, such as handling route sheets, counting money and disposing of com- plaints. "They're paying for the respon- sibility," he said. Salary Figures Unmentioned Neither Obermeyer nor Pre- benda mentioned any salary fig- ures, but the committee put, in evidence figures which purported to show that in the past five years Hope Rises For Budget Fund .Raise 'U' Payroll Assured; Faculty Unity Holds As State Action Nears By THOMAS HAYDEN Special to The Daily HIDDEN VALLEY - University officials are guardedly optimistic about a return to normal opera- tions this summer after one of the most crisis-jammed years in school ana state history. Meeting in conference sessicn at Hidden Valley Ski Club near Gaylord yesterday, the Board of Regents welcomed the news that the University's payroll will be met Tuesday-a consistent worry about every payday since Decem- ber, as the state's cash supply has remained critically low. They head also that the UnI- versity is weathering with in- creasing strength the storm of job offers to faculty from industry and other schools. Key to the optimism was the rising hope that the House of Representatives will pass un. altere a bill to appropriate $33A million in operating funds to the University for the fiscal year starting Wednesday. Action is expected on the meas- ure-representing a boost of $3A million-either Monday or Tues- day. If the operating budget is passed by the House unchanged, the University "should be back on a somewhat normal level of operation," Vice-President for Business and Finance Wilber K. Pierpont told the Regents. He reported that a check for the University's month-end pay- roll is assured by Monday, bring- ing the University through the year in financial solvency. Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss said faculty unity in face of "raiding' by other institutions has been probably strengthened by news of the possible budget increase - which would provide more fund for salaries. "We're holding pretty strongly now," Niehuss said. A list of ac- tual losses will be accurately tabulated in time for the July meeting of the Regents when some formal discussion of the implications of the final budget appropriation is expected. The Regents held informal and private talks on various aspects of the University throughout the day, and will continue tomorrow.s They have been meeting at Hidden Valley since 1054, the guests of Regent Leland I. Doan, of Midland. - World News Roundup By The Associated Press HAVANA--Premier Fidel Cas- tro's revolutionary government broke diplomatic relations with the Dominican Republic yester- day. It accused strongman Rafael Trujillo's regime of mass extermi- nation of war prisoners and cruel bombing of defenseless citizens. Castro and the Dominican gen- eralissimo have long been bitter enemies. The Cuban leader once took part in an abortive expedi- tion to the Dominican Republic to overthrow Trujillo's government. * * * WASHINGTON-The State De- partment yesterday reshuffled its offices to set up a bureau devoted exclusively to Russian affairs.

Prof. Freeman D. Miller, of the astronomy department, will be- come associate dean of the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies, effective Wednesday. Pro- motion of James H. Robertson, assistant dean of the literary col- lege, to the rank of associate dean was also approved. Prof. Miller's appointment, which is; on a half-time basis, will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Dean Robert R. For the past two years, he has been director of the University Academic Year Institute, spon- sored by the National Science Foudation, which has been giving 50 high school science and mathe- matics students a year of study at the University.
