Amid indications that Red China's troops had stemmed the week-end revolt, there was speculation that guerrilla warfare might .4 persist in the countryside. Roundabout advices to Tibetans in Kalimpong, an Indian trading, center on Tibet's frontier, said Lhasa was quiet, though tense. No Verification One report, which could not be verified, estimated that 300 Red troops and from 50 to 60 Tibetans were killed. The battle was set off Friday by Tibetan fears that the Communist overlords planned .Suggest Two Council Plan, Alterations Two proposals for the revision of the Student Government Council Plan were presented to the Clarification Committee yes- terday. The first plan, presented by Ron Gregg, '60, SGC treasurer, call for a "significant departure from the present plan" according to Prof. Charles Lehmaxin of the education school, chairman of the group. It advocated bringing in the function of the Board in Review at an earlier stage in Council action. w The Committee decided to hold its first open meeting 7 p.m. April 6, in the Third Floor Con- ference' Room, of the Student Ac- tivities Building, Prof. Lehmann said. -The Board in Review, unde this plan, Prof. Lehmann said Would not be involved primarily ua reyiew body but would mee requently with the Council in ax advisory capacity. Gregg's pro posal also would give veto powei to the Vice-President for Student "Affairs.' I A second plan, Prof. Lehmann a dded, submitted jointly by Mor Wise, '59, SGC executive vice p r e s i d e n t and David Kessel Grad., retained the basic formula of the SGC Plan but specified the withdrawal of recognition of stu- dent organizations from Counci authority. The plan also called for a sligh change in Board in Review coin position, reducing its size, and in stalling the Vice-President foi Student Affairs as chairman., Lichty Says, Creal Makes Play for Votes A trip to LAnsing made Monday by Cecil 0. Creal, Republical. candidate for mayor of Ann Ar bor, was attacked last night by Dr. Dorman E. Lichty. Lichty is chairman of a Citi zens' Committee supporting Dem ocrat Lloyd M. Ives, Creal's op ponent. It is incredible," Lichty said "that: the obvious play for vote. f thile Republican candidate fo Mayor should be given the prom inence that it has received." On his trip Monday; Creal hai been reassured by four state legis lators about the state's financia crisis. The Senate majority leader Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) told him that he would do all h could for the passage of bills t( mortgage the Veterans' Trus Fund.

Group Studies New Calendar The University Calendar Stud Committee will meet at 4:15 p.nm today in the Regents' Room o >to kidnap the Dalai Lama, 23 years old, called "The Living Buddha." Kalimpong heard that the Dalai Lama is safe, though his where- abouts remained a mystery. The assurance of his safety was reported given a group of Tibet- ans living in India by the Indian agent in Gangtok, capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim. He relays radio messages from the tIndian consulate general at Lhasa. _ (However, the Hindustan Times claimed that revolt has spread from Lhasa to all corners of Tibet. s (The paper supports Indian 1 Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. (Another prominent Indian pa- e per, The Times of India, reported f that Peiping may ask the Indian g consolate in Lhasa to close down 3 or suspend work in Tibet.) Delegation En Route Dispatches from 'Gangtok said a delegation of Tibetans, includ- ing militantly anti-Communist Khamba tribesmen, is en route to - New Delhi to plead with Prime a Minister Nehru for active inter- vention on behalf of Tibet. Details of the battle of Lhasa Y were still in dispute. Some border t sources said the fighting lasted o two days, others four. The fight- - ets, armed largely with rifles and r a half dozen old four-inch can- t non, were reported at one point to have turned captured Commu- n nist machine guns against the ,Red troops. Nationalist Chinese in Taipei, , who claim to have underground a contacts in Tibet, said the rebels e may have been forced from Lhasa itself into the mountainous sur- - rounding countryside, where con- ditions are better for guerrilla warfare., _ Resumes Contact They said Communist- r controlled Radio Lhasa, which went off the air five days ago, resumed contact with Peiping at noon from the forbidden city that is the seat of the Dalai Lama; A pessimistic view was taken at Darjeeling, India, by Jyalo Thon-' dup III, one of the Dalai Lama's four brothers. "Our religion is going, our race is going," he told newsmen. "We are going to be wiped out by the y Chinese." n High Chinese Nationalist offi- . cials said both sides had ordered y up reinforcements. SGC : Fishman Backers Petition By PHILIP POWER Supporters of Mike Fishman, '60, whom Student Government Council refused a seat after the recent election, are circulating a petition defending Fishman's posi- tion and calling for his appoint- ment to the Council. It was also reported by a Fish- man partisan who remained anonymous that an organized demonstration for Fishman was scheduled for this afternoon. This source, however, reported that the Dean of Men's office had turned down the idea and refused permission to hold such a demon- stration. Statement by Goldman In other action, retiring SGC President Maynard Goldman, '59, yesterday issued a statement ex- pressing his position, as president of the Council, on the Fishman affair. Fishman said last night, "I was elected. The issue that SGC is concerned with is over and done with. What the student body is concerned with is that their demo- cratic choice be left ot of SGC and another person appointed. "This has nothing to do with the recent decision of SGC in re- gard to my violation," he added. Falsified Account Goldman said that the question was not one of the amount over the limit Fishman had gone, but "the fact that Mr. Fishman know- ingly falsified his expense account. "This was the falsification of a document by a candidate for pub- lic office, an office with a public trust that had been violated," Goldihan's statement continued. Commenting on the Council's Jurisdiction in this area, Goldman said that "The Council has the right, as does any legislative body, to seat candidates for membership. See Text of Memorandum, Page 8 Club To_ Hear Indian View Dr. G. G. Parikh will address an open meeting sponsored by the Democratic Socialists Club tonight, 8 p.m. in the Union. He will speak on "Political De- velopment in India: A Socialist View." The aim of the Democratic Socialists Club is to present to the Campus the goals and ideals of democratic socialism. A youth leader in the Praja So- cialist Party in India, Dr. Parikh is currently touring the country with an Indian group sponsored by the World Assembly of Youth and its American affiliate, the Young Adult Council, a coordinat- ing body of American youth or- ganizations. The group, recently at the Uni- versity, is meeting with political, labor and industrial leaders across the nation.

"You can be sure of that." He said the Veteran's Fund is a practical solution. The fund has 50 million ready dollars and money is needed quickly, he said. He add- ed Senate committees are con- sidering other possible solutions to the tax crisis, but he refused to re- veal these. - To Begin Consideration Sen. Younger said the Senate will probably begin consideration of the House bills tomorrow. He explained that passage will re- quire at least five days. Sen. Lewis G. Christman (R-Ann Arbor) told a local audience Mon- day some plan to utilize the Vet- eran's Trust Fund to bail the state out of financial trouble would win Senate approval. House Speaker Don R. Pears (R -Buchanan) indicated the House proposal would have trouble winning Senate approval. Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair), Senate majority leader, said Senate passage will be more diffi- cult than obtaining the necessary two-thirds majority in the House. Sen. Beadle 'said he would "do everything I can" to see the emer- gency measure receives Senate ap- proval. To Meet Payrolls The recently passed House meas- ures would provide $22 million to meet state university payrolls be- tween now and June 1. Monday, University President Harlan Hatcher predicted a solu- tion to the state's cash crisis would be found "in April, late in April." Last week veteran's leaders en- dorsed the use of their fund for fianacing a state capital outlay program to include university and government building. Leaders of veteran's organizations have gen- erally opposed "mortgaging" the fund for any purpose. tween the American and inter- national student. April 9 he will leave the United States believing this has been achieved "to an ex- tent." Cites Cooperation He points to the activities of International Week, planned by ISA, the Union and the League, as an example. The Union and League worked with internation- al students in presenting the Pete Seeger concert, the World's Fair, the soccer match with the Univer- sity of Toronto and international student orientation. Krish did not notice a lack of American initiative in cooperative projects, saying "this is the first year there has been extensive contact between the. two groups. If more is done in the future, the response will probably increase." Student leadership has been very enthusiastic in working on these programs, he said. It is up to this leadership to continually devise ways to increase contact and to maintain this enthusiasm. Reduce Opinion Differences Reducing the opinion differ- ences between nationality groups within ISA is another goal Krish saw fulfilled. It is an unwritten policy to have the executive board members represent a variety of different countries, he pointed out. Occasionally political differ- ences show up in heated ISA po- litical debate's, he said, but the students realize how valuable it Folklore Club Biegins Sale Of Publication Folkways, the Magazine of In- ternational Folklore, will go on sale at bookstores around campus today, according to Al Young, '61, technical director. The magazine, which is pub- lished by the Folklore Society, will contain songs, articles on how to construct musical instruments,' record listings and folklore studies. The Folklore Society is current- ly seeking serious contributions from anthropologists and musi- cologists on folklore and folk mu- sic, as well as from interested students, Young said. -Daily-David Arnold P.

He will return to India with his master's degree 'in business administration and will pursue a career in pharmaceutical administration. is to understand each other as well as the American. The coordination of all the na- tionality clubs into one compre- hensive organization evolved only four years ago, Krish said. He il- lustrated the cooperation that this has brought when he spoke of Israeli-African and Indone- sian-Indian club social functions. 'Maximum Out of Stay' Through being ISA president and membership chairman as well as Indian Students' Associa- tion secretary since his arrival in September, 1956, Krish believes he has gotten "the maximum out of his stay here." "It is a two-way process . learning about America and ex- plaining about India," he said. Besides getting a degree in one specialized subject, Krish said, the international student should understand America . . . "the leader of the free world." Krish sees one place for this exchange of ideas in the ISA which should not deteriorate into the exclusion of Americans, he said. Works in Theosophy Group Krish's participation in a stu- dent theosophy group was anoth- er step toward completing his "two-way" process. The- purpose of this organization, he said, is to study and understand compar- ative religion, and then, through this understanding, seek the brotherhood of man. Upon his return to India, Krish will add his master's degree to his bachelor's degrees in phar- macy and science from the Uni- versity of Madras, and begin Council To Hold Election Of New Officers Today By JEAN HARTWIG Election of officers will be the first order of business at the Student Government Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Stu- dent Activities Building. Jo Hardee, '60, administrative vice-president, and Ron Gregg, '60, treasurer, have announced their candidacy for the presidency. Al Haber, '60, is running forY practice in pharmaceutical ad- ministration. As Krish departs, he leaves ISA and the campus with several co- operative projects, which, if they are kept up, will fulfill many po- tentialities for friendship among the international and American groups. Ann Arbor To Choose Councilmen (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of two articles about the City Coun- cil, candidates in the April 6 Ann Arbor election.) By PETER DAWSON On April 6, Ann Arbor, voters will elect five city councilmen as well as a mayor. One Democrat and one Repub- lican are running for each posi- tion. Each Council winner will represent one of the city's five wards for two years. Aside from racial discrimina- tion and the 'needs of individual wards, the campaign has con- tained at least one major issue- Urban Renewal. Urban Renewal is, a project to improve a '75-acre area, mostly residential, in the north-central part of town. It involves the re- moval of 1'7 to 43 houses, the re- habilitation of others and other changes. It is, hoped that the federal government will pay two-thirds of the net cost of the project. The net cost is estimated at $1,641,354. Plans for the project are, now awaiting federal approval, rejec- tion or approval if modified. These are one half of the can- didates and their positions: See ANN ARBOR, Page' 2 SOC .Petitions For- Vacancy Ready Today Petitioning for the vacant seat on Student Government Council will begin this morning, Jo Har- dee, '60, SGC administrative vice- president announced. LANSING ()-While dozens of veterans looked down from the galleries, Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams' plan to mortgage the 50 million dollar Veterans Trust Fund passed the House yesterday by the skin of its teeth. Capping a half-hour debate, the key bill in the four-bill package won a 58-40 vote of approval, two more votes than the passage re- quirement. Once it cleared the lower chamber, lawmakers passed the other three in rapid-fire order and routed the whole package to the Senate. Twelve Republicans joined 46 Democrats in voting for the mort gage plan, which had met defeat in the house twice in the last six weeks. Last Resort The governor proposed it as a last resort for averting payless paydays for state employes. Defeat, he said,; would leave lawmakers the alternatives of liquidating the fund or allowing the state to fail its financial obligations. Under his proposal, securities In the fund would be transferred to the University and'Michigan State University for use as collateral il borrowings. Other securities would be placed in the school employes retirement fund, releasing equiva- lent funds for state school aid payments. This action is best for the citi- zens as a whole and for the vet- erans, Gov. Williams said. "If there was liquidation, it would take care of the citizens but wouldn't do anything for the vet erans." Vets Organize Leaders of four veterans organi- zations - the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Dis- abled American Veterans and Marine Corps League-summoned their members to a protest dem- onstration against mortgaging the fund. Only about 75 members of the group showed up in the house galleries to watch the vote. Gov. Williams said he had "real hopes" the Senate would go along with the mortgaging proposal. He declined to estimate a deadline an passage for avoiding payless pay- days. Bankers have indicated they might require a court test of the plan before making any loans to the two universities. "This may take as long as tyo months, although hopefully, they won't have any suit at all," said Gov. Williams. Union Selecs Junior Staff Councilmen, The following eight men were appointed to executive council positions on the Union staff, Tom Patterson, Union president, said, yesterday. James Hadley, '61, was ap- pointed to head the Personnel Administration Committee; oel Handeman, '61, International Af- fairs Committee; Stephen Hunter, '61, Publications; Gayle King, '61E, Alumni Faculty Affairs; Perry Morton, '61, Special Events: Michael Rollins, '61, Social; John Ross, '61, University Affairs and Michael Turoff, '61, Student A- fairs Committee. Nineteen men petitioned for the eight positions. YR's To Hear A ) executive vice-president and Ron Bassey, '61, and Phil Zook, '60, are competing for the office of ad- ministrative vice-president. Roger Seasonwein, '61, will seek the treasurer's position. A motion to establish a special committee to coordinate a Human Relations Education Program will also be submitted to the Council by Miss Hardee. The bill calls for a special group composed of a Council member, a member of the Student Activities Committee and two members of the Human Rela- tions Board.
