uty Attorney General John Mc-
Doniough yesterday refused to ac-
cept nearly 1,000 draft cards
handed to him by anti-war groups
at Washington headquarters of the
Justice Department.
The draft cards, presented to
McDonnough behind closed doors
in a conference room on the first
floor of the Justice Department's
main office building, represented
the climax of a week of similar
demonstrations at Army installa-
tions and draft boards.
The Rev. William Sloane Coffin,
chaplin of Yale University and
leader of the 10-man delegation
that met with McDonnough, told a
sympathetic crowd of approxima-
tely 400 persons that had gatheredj
on the steps of therbuilding that,
by McDonnough's refusal to ac-
cept the cards as part of a dig-I
nified, solemn, moral and legal
confrontation," the Administra-
tion is "forcing another kind of,
confrontation."
Pre-march Washington has been
filled with rumors that the plannedj
demonstration at the PentagonI
might conceivably erupt in vio-
lence, as have demonstrations this
week in Oakland, Calif., Madison,
Wis., and Brooklyn, N.Y.
The total of 992 cards that the
delegation, according to- pedia-
trician - author Dr. Benjamin
Spock, "dumped on a table in the
conference room when McDon-_
nough refused to 'accept' them,"
were brought to Washington by
delegations from across the coun-
try. The largest number of cards
was brought from Berkeley, Calif.
There were none from Ann Arbor.
Seymour Melman, a professor at
Columbia University in New
York, told the crowd after the one-
hour meeting that McDonnough
"gave no answer when we asked
if cards that had been mailed this
week from New York had, as re-
ported in some news media, been
turned over to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation."

DETROIT (- - The United Auto Workers Union anu
Ford Motor Co. reached tentative agreement yesterday on
contract provisions that could increase the average worker's
wages 43 to 59. cents an hour, an industry source said,
For a small minority of workers - the 20,000 skilled

The UAW and Ford ended a marathon 31-hour bargain-

denial of the source's report. They still operated under a
news blackout the two sides invoked Oct. 10.
Another source said a few details remained to be worked
out, but were not expected to greatly alter the total price tag.
The UAW and Ford said another'
bargaining session was set for
11 a.m. today.

lined by the source, it appeared
that the UAW pact may have J

MADISON, Wis. -"We are on
the eve of the worst civil disrup-
tion this nation has ever seen,"
Dick Schiedenhelm, student sen-
ator, told an emergency meeting
of the Wisconsin Student Associa-
tion yesterday.
The Student Senate tried in
vain yesterday to resolve the
I problems of the past several days
caused when 65 persons were in-
jured as a protest of a Dow Chem-
ical Co. interview exploded into
a riot.
Students were protesting the
Dow interviews because Dow is a
producer of napalm, a vital weap-
on in the Vietnam war. In two
weeks 4the Central Intelligence
Agency has appointments for
similar interviews.
The Student Senate was unable
to pass any ' decisive resolutions
and adjourned for the weekend
as loudspeakers blared outside
the senate meeting room an-
nouncing today's continuation of
the protest.
aAntiwarDemonstrationsi
Stir Oakland, Brooklyn
Even as the cold, windy week-
end seemed to bring a tense still-
ness to the Badger campus, stu-
dents were planning organiza-
tional meetings to plan today'ss
protest.
A march on the Wisconsin
State Capitol and the Madison
police station is scheduled for 10
a.m. today. Students will march
two and a half miles and pre-
sent their demands to the Madi-
son police force. They have been
asked to "dress in coats and ties,
or dresses" for the "march of
sorrow for the past."
Religious Protest
Following the marches, religious
groups will congregate about the
center of the campus to pray "for
the ones who are victims of bru-
tality." The ceremonies are sched-
uled to continue through Sunday.
A student senate motion to
condemn the university and the
police force for "not maintain-
ing tighter reign on the action of
the police and preventing the
brutal excesses which resulted"
became bogged down in parlia-
mentary procedure.
The Student Senate then split
into two factions: those seeking
a solution to "unorganized protest"
and those seeking to keep organ-
izations such as Dow off campus.
Foresight
"Our problem is not a lack of
foresight," Andy Good, a student:
sentor, told the body. "Nor is it
whether or not Dow should come
onto campus. Our problem is al-
lowing a company that produces
a compound of polystyrene and
other organic materials that re-
acts with human skin to melt
people's faces onto their chests."
"We have to stop this thing,
now," Good pleaded to a com-'
' pletely silent audience. "People
are being melted now. What will!
happen in ten years?"
Student senator Robert Bjork
argued that Good was making a
moral judgment. "You're making
a judgment just like the civil
rights issue. We can't do this. Our.
Job is to stop yelling and scream-
ing and to evaluate procedures."
In a related development, the
Wisconsin State Senate yesterday
named a seven-man committee to
investigate the club-swinging me-
lee between police and anti-war
demonstrators.
The Senate's investigation panel1
will be headed by Lt. Gov. Jack1
Olson, acting chief executive in
the absence of Gov. Warren P.
Knowles. It was directed to make
i its study and report in a week. %.

Changing the United States
policy in Vietnam is an essential
part of the fight for democracyy
and justice both at home and
abroad, Prof. Arnold Kaufman ofI
the philosophy department said
yesterday.
Addressing about 20 persons -atj
the Michigan Conference of Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
Youth Councils and College Chap-
ters at the Ann Arbor Hilton,
Kaufman, an NAACP vice presi-
dent, said he thinks fighting for
"freedom and democracy is im-
portant. but we must get prior-
that money, we could serve all
welfare needs except housing."
The war will continue to curb
welfare programs, Kaufman add-
ed. Congress has asked President
Johnson to pare $5 billion from
his proposed budget "and as long
as we're fighting a war, it won't
come from the war budget. Its
going to come from the poor
people, from the poverty pro-
grams," he continued.
Kaufman questioned the justice
of the draft system. "The selective
service seems to be equitable, but
because of college exemptions,
those who have less chance to
get an education are taken."
only 11 per cent of the nationa.
population,
"For such great expense in men
and money," Kaufman said, "there
should be good reasons for the
war.
"We hear that if we don't fight
the communists in Vietnam, we'll
have to fight them in Hawaii or
Mexico. It is" absurd to fear an
attack on the, mainland when we
have the capacity to destroy the
world with our nuclear power."
Kaufman refuted the current
State Department claim that the
United States must remain in
Vietnam to contain the agressive
Chinese.
