Soviet First Deputy Premier'
Frol R. Kozlov left Detroit for,
Chicago yesterday in a huff after
protesting an unexpectedly stormy
conference with Gov. G. Mennen
Williams.
The Soviet official claimed that
the governor's report of the meet-
ing between himself, the governor,
and M. A. Menshikov, Soviet am-
bassador to the United States was
"not too accurate," and that the
governor had violated the "se-
crecy" of the conference by hold-
ing a press conference immediate-
ly afterward and discussing the
meeting.
The governor replied by saying
that there was no understanding
on his part that he would not dis-
cuss the meeting.
Gov. Williams went into the

AS POSH AS MIAMI--The Dominican Republic b oasts fine hotels in every important town, with

SAN JUAN, P. R.-Dominican f
dictator Rafael Trujillo is the
subject of a lot of strong opinion
here, most of it directed against
him.
There is an organized anti-
Trujillo party, headed by a Uni-
versity of Puerto Rico law profes-
sor, whose father once headed
the Dominican Republic.
Perhaps the most famous anti-
Trujillista, though, is a local
newsman who once headed the.
puppet newspaper in Ciudad Tru-
jillo.

man, he lived for a while in New
Foreign Aid
Bm"Passed
With Slashes
WASHINGTON IP) -The Sen-
ate last night passed a pared
down $3,543,320,000 foreign aid
bill after rejecting all new efforts
to slash deeper the overseas spend-
ing authority President Dwight D.
Eisenhower asked.
However, it let stand 3831/2
million dollars in cuts voted Tues-
day. The final total was below
both the $3,909,400,000 the Presi-
dent asked and the $3,542,600,000
voted by the House.
y The Senate acted under the
shadow of a broad hint earlier in
the day from President Eisen-
hower that if his foreign aid au-
thority was cut too deeply he
might call Congress back into
special session later this year to
consider hiking it.
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn-
don B. Johnson of Texas., opposed
by a majority of his fellow Demo-
crats, helped the Republicans fight
back all new efforts to cut the aid
bill i nthe final hours of voting.
As finally passed, the measure
provides $1,300,000,000 for military
arms to aid the free world allies
and 75% million in defense eco-
nomic supports to help them feed,
clothe and maintain their troops.
The remainder of the $3,543,-
320,.000 is for various forms of
economic aid.
The military arms aid authority
was 300 million dollars under
President Eisenhower's request
and the defense economic sup-
ports 83% million below it.

There are differences in a number

to make any more cuts in the bill.

by the FBI to move here, where

cult.
Receives Advice
I have been advised to see
neither of these men before visit-
ing the Dominican Republic, since
Trujillo's agents watch them con-
stantly, and their visitors become
"persona non grata."
As for evaluating the recent
abortive revolution, only one thing
is sure: outsiders and Dominicans
alike know only what Trujillo
wants them to know.
An American couple, landing
here last week on a flight from
Ciudad Trujillo, were asked by a
newsman, "What's the latest news
on the revolution?"
"What revolution?" they asked
in return.
Arbitrary Ruler
Taking a longer look at Tru-
jillo and his 30-year rule of the
rich little island nation, one is
impressed above all by one fact:
Trujillo has absolute power in
his sphere. He uses this power
arbitrarily, and he is greatly
feared because of it.
I had an appointment. Tuesday
with a Dominican businessman,
made through the San Juan office
of the international firm with
which he is connected.
I arrived on time for the ap-
pointment, after a hectic cab ride,
but the Dominican was nowhere
to be seen. "These Dominicans
have no sense of time," my friend
in the San Juan office explained.
After making a call to try and
Puerto Rican continued to talk.j

He advised me to avoid the Do-
minican Republic now, since it was
"dangerous" and no one would
talk anyhow.
He told me that his office had
needed an accountant from the
Ciudad Trujillo office, and wired
him to come, giving a week notice.
The accountant wired back that
it would take him several weeks
at least to get permission to leave,
About then the Dominican ar-
rived, over half an hour late. He
shook my hand, gave me his card,
then told the Puerto Rican hehad
developed a tooth ache and could
not possibly have lunch with us.
He pointed to the sore area of
his mouth, offered to host me if I
visited the Dominican Republic
this summer, then hurried off. My
Puerto Rican friend shrugged his
shoulders and apologized.
This particular pominican had
held his present job only a few
years, I learned later. His prede-
cessor had been given 24 hours by
Trujillo to quit and join a rival
firm the government was estab-'
lishing. (He "accepted.")
When he returns to Ciudad
Trujillo, I also learned,, the ner-
vous Dominican will be leaving his
children in Puerto Rico with
friends.
That evening, I spent' sev-

BATON ROUGE, La. (/P)-Ailing
Gov. Earl K. Long yesterday re-
affirmed his plans for a long lei-
sure trip through the West and
into Canada.
He hopes to leave Friday, his
health permitting.
The announcement came as a
five-man team of physicians pre-
pared to examine anew the Gov-
ernor's mind and body. Both have
been greviously taxed in recent
weeks.
U.S. Planes
In France
Withdrawn
PARIS (')-The United States'
decided yesterday to put four of
its French air bases in moth balls
and remove all 200 of its fighter-
bombers to Britain and West Ger-
many.
The decision, distasteful to the
United States, was taken because
President Charles de Gaulle re-
fuses to let atomic weapons into.
France unless they come under
French control.
About 6,000 airmen from the
four United States bases near the
German frontier will be removed.
Seek Quarrel End
The long-considered decision of
the Allied supreme commander in
Europe, Gen. Lauris Norstad, was'
made official in order to get the
family quarrel settled before the
Western Big Three foreign minis-
ters resume their talks with the
Soviet Union in Geneva Monday.
While the American decision is
firm, the question will still be
subject to discussion by the North
Atlantic Council-on which repre-
sentatives of all the NATO powers
sit equally.,
A French change of mind could
change the American decision..
Complete by Fall
The transfer of planes, men and
material will start within two
weeks and be completed this fall.
Some technical details remain
to be settled with the British
and Germans but both powers
offered no objection to having the
planes based on their fields -
where United States atomic stock-
piles are close at hand.
The shift brought criticism
from both British and West Ger-
man Socialists.
The French government ac-
cepted the news without official
comment. De Gaulle and his top
ministers are touring in Madagas-
car and knew of the probable
decision before they left France.

ANOTHER TRY-A University workman checks one of the new sigins prohibiting bicycle parking

Initiate New Bike Parking Controls
By KATHLEEN MOORE
Even with the more relaxed
atmosphere and reduced enroll-
ments of summer session the per-
ennial campus complaint arises-
bicycles.
Parking of the vast' streams of
bicycles that daily flood the gen-
eral campus area has always pre-
sented
Office
chosen
a major problem and the
of Student Affairs has
the summer to initiate
some new methods of control on
a trial basis.
University workmen will begin
today erecting new signs prohibit-
ing parking outside bike racks in
an attempt to alleviate conges-
tion of bicycles in key areas
through voluntary compliance.
Control Desired
The need >for some means of
control is evidenced by the num-
bers of parked bicycles blocking
the entrances to buildings, par-
ticularly the Undergraduate Li-
brary, creating a hazard and nuis-
ance to pedestrians and marring
the beauty of the campus, Vice-
President for Student Affairs
James A. Lewis explained.
The safety hazard presented by
the congested state of parking
affairs is also considerable, he
added. The OSA, Lewis com-
mented, is attempting to eliminate
the danger before it results in
serious injury.
Illustrating what might happen
House Okays
School .Bill
LANSING P)- The controver-
sial K-12 school district consoli-
dation bill squeaked through the
House yesterday without a vote
to spare.
With 56 votes needed for pass-
age, it mustered a 56-40 vote and
headed back to the Senate for
action on an amendment putting
the K-12 plan into action.
The bill would wipe out all the
state's nearly 1,400 primary school
districts which don't offer a high
school education. It would compel
them to set up a high school dis-
trict or join an existing one with-
in three years.
The legislature still is without
a solution to its tax problems,
however.
The Conlin flat rate income tax
plan moved to the fore in the
House yesterday.
The House Taxation Committee,
headed by Rep. Rollo G. Conlin,
(R-Tipton), sent the 11-bill in-
come tax package to the House
floor on a 9-0 vote.
Debate on the measures, held in
cold storage while the fate of the
GOP Use (sales) tax plan was up
if no steps were taken to eliminate
the clusters of bicycles found near
building entrances, he stressed the
possibility of a double catastrophe1
if an emergency evacuation of the
UGL were ever necessary.
Will Observe
During the next two or three
weeks members of the bicycle
safety committee will be observing
the effect of the new signs. If,
after that time, no significant de-
crease in congestion is apparent,+
the second phase of a long-range
project to reduce the dimensions
of the bicycle problem in general
will be implemented.
Illegally parked bicycles will be
subject to impounding by the Uni-
versity. University personnel, ac-
companied by a uniformed officer,
will make spot checks of desig-
nated key areas, picking up bi-
cycles not in racks and storing
them in a central storage area.
Under the plan, students will
be charged a slight service fee and
will be required to present their
Ann Arbor bicycle license or prove
ownership and purchase a license
when claiming their bicycles.
Ike Rebukes
Khrushchev
For Threats
WASHINGTON (A' -President
Dwight D. Eisenhower coldly re-
buked Russia's Premier Nikita
Khrushchev yesterday for what he
termed menacing talk about a pos-
sible war over Berlin.
Pres. Eisenhower in effect told
the Soviet leader to cut out such
talk if he wants a peaceful settle-
ment of the bitter East-West quar-
rel over Berlin's future.
Pres. Eisenhower told a news
Strike
Shut Down
By Weekend
Still Possible
Union's Move Dulls
Optimistic Attitudes
About Negotiations
NEW YORK (P) - The Steel-
workers Union yesterday rejected
a bid from President Dwight- D.
Eisenhower to delay a steel strike
threat indefinitely beyond the
two-week truce already granted
by the union.
The union previously had post-
poned its strike deadline from
July 1 to midnight July 14.
Barring an agreement, the In-
dustry will have to start shutting
down this weekend.
Deadens Hopes
Pres. Eisenhower's request for
an indefinite extension and the
union's refusal to put aside its
strike weapon came at a time
when industry-union talks here
appeared a little more promising.
Both sides clammed up on what
was going on in the negotiating
room and declined to say if the
talks were getting anywhere. But
until now the union has been reg-
ularly stating that the bargaining
was deadlocked and devoid of
progress.
Longer negotiating sessions and
the intentness of both sides seemed
to be good omens.
Pres. Eisenhower told his news
conference in Washington there
had been a misapprehension about
his June 27 letter to union Pres-
ident David J. McDonald. He ap-
pealed in the letter for continued
negotiations without a strike un-
til an agreement is reached.
The union at that time re-
sponded with its two-week true
agreement.
Denies Charge
The President said he'd never
proposed any two-week contract
extension at all but had suggested
a delay of any strike for an indefi-
nite period.
Renewing this plea, the Presi-
dent added: _,
"I really believe that it's a pity
that we can't all act in accord-
ance with our basic conceptions
as to what is good for the coun-
try - and therefore not have a,
srtike "
The industry made it clear that
it too would like to see a steel
strike threat disappear. R. Con-
rad Cooper, executive vice-presi-
dent of United States Steel Cor-
poration, a the industry's chief
negotiator Noted the steel firms
had proposed indefinite extension
subject to 10-day termination no-
tice by either side.

Speech Topic
'A GOOD ALLEY FIGHTER':
Khrushchev Impresses U.S. Governors
MOSCOW (-) - Seven United
States governors came away from
a give-and-take discussion with
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush-
chev impressed by his debating,
skill, his knowledge and his
toughness.
"He is able to deal with you at
any level - at the highest or in
street fighting," said Gov. Stephen
L. R. McNicols of Colorado yester-
day. "Back home we would say he
is a good alley fighter."
High Point
The conversation in Khrush-
chev's office lasted three hours
American cooperation to help
backward nations advance econ-
omically.
He foresaw worldwide catastro-
phe if the two nations go to war
"because if we figtht, no force on
earth can halt us.'
Soviet Adamant
Turning to specific internation-
al problems Khrushchev stood
fast on Soviet demands for the
Western Allies to get out of Ber-
lin. He also repeated his appeal
for recognition of Communist
East Germany as well as the West
German regime in Bonn.
