Ulbricht Seen as Likely East German Red Boss
West German and international observers expect Walter Ulbricht to replace Otto Grotewohl as East German prime minister at the Socialist Unity party rally July 9 to 12. Ulbricht, 58, already wields real power as general secretary of the East zone Communist party, while Grotewohl faces health and rest issues amid Moscow ties. The move would sharpen Soviet-style unification aims and prompt Western attacks as Berlin tensions rise. Britons begin reporting the new Ugli fruit, a grapefruit melon cross.

Educators Must Expand Scope Says Dr Fred
Madison Wisconsin educators must prepare for greatly higher college enrolments by 1965 if 20 percent of college age youth attend institutions. President Fred of the University of Wisconsin spoke to the Wisconsin Alumni Association about enrolment growth and staff challenges. He projected Wisconsin college enrolments above 60 000 by 1966 and compared it with under 50 000 at the postwar peak. He reviewed financial aid and warned federal support could prompt government control of research though universities can resist. He cited salary competition as a continuing administrative headache for faculty and researchers.
