Urban RenewalAc tion
By PHIIP MUNCK
City Council last night put off action on Urban Renewal until
a public hearing in Council Chambers at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Debate on the project flared up during discussion of adopting a
uniform building code as Councilmen Richard Dennard and Carl
Brauer exchanged heated words on the availability of housing in Ann
Arbor. Brauer objected to the passage of the building code as a
"horrible encroachment on our>
private liberty." He objected speci-
fically to parts of the proposed or-
dinance which would require e±-

A sensational start by a young
sophomore and the play-making
of his revenge-seeking mate at
guard got Michigan off to an im-
pressive 75-55 upset of Pittsburgh
here last night in the basketball
opener for both schools.
John Tidwell, a lanky yearling
from Herrin, Ill., made his opener,
a happy day with a 22-point spree
and a good job of defensing All-
America Don Hennon - despite
the Panthers' 28 marks on the
scoring column.
Miller Aids Win
Junior guard Terry Miller, re-
membering his own disappointing
opener against Pitt last year,
made the evening an easy affair
for Michigan by feeding Tidwell
on the fast-break with his timely
passing.
He further pestered the visitors
by picking off interceptions and
scoring three early baskets which
gave the Wolverines a lead they
never surrendered.
Miller was held to a mere three
points as the Panthers swept over
the Wolverines, 72-62, last Decem-
ber. He scored 11 last night.
Team Win
However, it was a real team vic-
tory for Michigan as veterans
George Lee and M. C. Burton, co-
captaining the squad since the
suspension of Jack Lewis, chipped
in 17 and 15 points, respectively.
The senior pair also teamed
with center Gordie Rogers, Miller
and Tidwell in giving the host
quintet remarkable backboard
control. Michgian out-rebounded
Pitt, 55-38, although both start-
ing teams had identical height
averages.,
Most of the sparse crowd ofj
4,000 who watched the contest had
their eyes focused on the short -
yet husky - Hennon at the start.
The 5'9" jump-shot artist from
Wampum, Pa., had averaged 26.0
as a junior last year and was the
main reason predicters gave Pitt
high hopes of being the first quin-
tet to ruin a Michigan home
opener since the 1951-52 season.
Miller Scores
After Tidwell's successful free
throw became the first score of
the year, Hennon came back
strong with five straight points.
Then Miller produced his three
consecutive jump shots -- break-
ing Michigan's goalless stretch
which lasted for four minutes
from the game's start.
M' Leads
Michigan led, -5, and was never
threatened by Hennon again.
Wolverine points flowed easily
after that point, too, with Miller
passing for assists to Burton, Tid-
well and Lee as they scored the
next three baskets.
These goals, combined with free
throws by Tidwell and Miller, gave
the Wolverines a 17-10 edge and
prompted Coach Bill Perigo to say
after the game:

Begin Nuclear-Cont
By THOMAS HAYDEN
Michigan has begun to pay off
its debts to the three major state
universities.
But it still owes the University,
Michigan State University, and
Wayne State University more than1
11 million dollars in monthly bud-
get payments.
Checks totaling $5.6 million went
out to the institutions last week,
with the University receiving $2.7
million, MSU $2.1 million, and
WSU $810,000.
The cash for the schools was due
Oct. 1. Payment had been held up
until balances in the state's treas-
ury Improved.
As a result of the payment, a
possibility that the schools might
have to borrow funds from banks
has been temporarily avoided, ac-
cording to a Lansing observer.
MSU had authorized borrowing
of nearly one million dollars to
meet its month-end budget, and
had planned to seek $2.5 million
in funds if the checks from Lans-
ing did not come through.
University officials in Ann Arbor
had feared the University might
have to resort to borrowing funds
to meet its payrolls.
The state still owes the schools
checks for November and Decem-
ber. Nearly $5.5 million is due the
University, while $4.2 million is
owed to MSU and $1.5 million
to WSU.
State Treasurer Sanford A.
Brown saw at least some hopes
yesterday that back checks will be
forthcoming by the end of this
month.
However, he pointed out, "we
can't be certain until collections
come in" to the stat's general
fund, out of which the schools are
paid.

The missing student from West

David Rinne, '62A&D, who dis-
appeared from his room Nov. 15,

Ind., that he was employed in
Miami, according to Jack Hale,
senior director of men's residence

parents yesterday.
GENEVA OP) - The United
States, Britain and the Soviet
Union yesterday began hammering
out the opening article of a treaty
defining what a controlled suspen-
sion of nuclear weapot tests
means.
After a month of procedural
wrangling the world's atomic'
powers came to grips for the first
time with the difficult task of
drafting a treaty defining their
obligations.
East, West Agree
East and West agreed that no
quick and easy agreement is in
sight, but bothasides emphasized
that the delegations have moved
into the substance of the problem.
Up for discussion was a revised
opening article of a Soviet draft
treaty and a separate first article
submitted by United States Am-
bassador James J. Wadsworth.
Yesterday's negotiations and ex-
changes to follow are aimed at
getting agreement on the language
of the opening article.
The opening article of a treaty
usually defines the scope of the
obligations undertaken by the
signing powers. In the case of
these negotiations the United
States and Britain insist that the
opening article must link the stis-
pension of tests with a promise to

Reopen ITU
Negotiations
By SUSAN HOLTZER
Negotiations in the week-long
strike against the Booth news-
paper chain, including the Ann
Arbor News, will be reopened in
Lansing this morning for the first
time since the walk-out.
Striking members of the Inter-
national Typographical Union
Wednesday halted publication of
Booth papers in Grand Rapids,
Bay City, Jackson, Flint, Kalama-
zoo, Muskegon and Saginaw, be-
sides Ann Arbor. Total circulation
of the chain is over 500,000.
ITU spokesmen have asked a,
wage increase of 15 cents an hour
for the first year and 10 cents
for the second year of a two-year
contract. Booth has offered a nine
cent an hour hike for the first
year, and ten for the second.
Base wage now is $3.12 an hour
on six of the Booth papers, with
the Flint Journal and the Grand
Rapids Press paying 10 cents more
for a 372-hour work week.
Ann Arbor News Editor Arthur
Gallagher said the papers and the:
union "are still pretty far apart,"
and that there is "no indication of
anyone giving in on anything."
Gallagher broke down the con-
tract dispute into three points: a'
wage increase, fringe benefits and
modification of the "reset clause."
The reset clause refers to hand-
setting local advertisements that
reach the newspaper as already-
prepared mats.

ATLANTA-A motion to quash indictments against five men on
charges of dynamiting the Jewish temple here was overruled yesterday
by a judge who declared that the defense contended state law provides
"open season" on churches.
Fulton Superior Court Judge Durwood T. Pye held that a Georgia
law providing the death penalty in some dynamiting cases covers the
<.crimes charged against the de-
P endants.
Action on the final passage of
the proposed off-street parking
ordinance was put off for the
fourth time to Dec. 8. Councilman
M. Alicia Dwyer, of the business
administration school, requested
the matter be postponed until the
latest revisions of the bill are
printed and submitted to Council
in a completed ordinance.
The Planning Commission, in a,
report submitted by Dean Coston,
of WUOM, recommended changes
described as "not substantial and
keeping the original intent of the
ordinance."
The report recommended group-
ing the requirements of social
fraternities with those of sororities
and placing professional fraterni-
ties in the same classification as
rooming houses.

Coston said the number of per-

fraternities does not now exceed
the number of parking spaces at
fraternity houses. He explained
that due to the high number of

De Gaulle Lone French Presidential Candidate
PARIS (P) -- Gen, Charles del
Gaulle was given a clear field last
night to run for the presidency off
the new French Republic and, in

to take the job.
His election, by a newly created
and large electoral college, is a

De Gaulle is known to want to

large measure of autonomy and

powerful Union for the New Re-
public (UNR), with 188 seats in
the new assembly, is firmly
pledged to an ironclad integration
of Algeria with France.
Aside from Algeria, the political
flavor of the new assembly is ob-
scure. Many old faces in French
politics disappeared in the week-
end voting. Only about 146 former
deputies were returned to their
seats in the 546-seat assembly.
Soustelle himself is a veteran
deputy, but he has only 13 form-
