The Regents will consider at their monthly meeting today the
appointment of a director of housing to direct University residence
a he appointment may fill a vacancy created when the Office of
Student Affairs was reorganized last summer.
Under the reorganization, housing, which had been separately
directed by the dean of men's and women's offices, were merged into
Approve Bill
To Dirop Aid,
WASHINGTON (P)- A bill to
cut off federal support for racially
segregated educational programs
won overwhelming approval yes-
terday in the House Education
Committee.
A 27-1 vote brought the measure'
out of committee, but that did not
guarantee it would reach the.
House floor. The House Rules'
Committee normally must approve
legislation for floor consideration.
The Administration is opposed'
to the mandatory fund, cut-qff
which the bill would require, pre-
ferring to have discretionary pow-
er to deal with states in which
segregation is practiced. A provi-
sion to grant such discretion and
extend the authority to all feaeral
aid programs instead of just edu-
cational ones is included in the
omnibus civil rights bill now be-
fore another committee.
Would Cut Funds
The Education Committee bill
would cut off funds after June 30,
1964, for segregated programs un-
der the National Defense Educa-
tion Act, Library Services Act,
Vocational Education ,Act, Land
Grant Colleges Act and Impacted
Areas Act.
The committee also approved
two other bills which bear on the
civil rights fight.
One would authorize $70 million
over a three-year period to pro-
vide basic education for ,adults.
President John F. Kennedy re-
quested it in his civil rights mes-
sage last month to combat illit-
eracy among Negroes.
Increase Funds
The other would increase funds
available .under the Library Ser-
vices Act for grants to commun-
ities.
The present $7.5 million for
such services would be increased
to $25 million and an additional
$20 million would be made avail-
able for construction of libraries.
In addition the bill would re-
move the present restriction lim-
iting the services to rural areas.
All communities would be eligible
on a basis of need.
-one unit. This was in line with the
general policy of combining par-
allel men's and women's services.
Affiliated Housing
Off-campus and affiliated hous-
ing were placed temporarily under
the supervision of director of disci-
pline and student organizations
John Bingley, whose other du-
ties partially overlapped the hans
dling of these types of housing.
When appointed, the new direc-
tor is expected to form policies to
induce a more academic atmos-
amsphere in the residence halls and
to carry outrestablished plans
such as co-educational housing.
In the past year, projects ad-
vancing both these ideas have
been undertaken. Co-educational
housing will begin in South Quad-
Eangle and Mary Markley Hall
following decisions made last win-
ter.
Rails Set
New Date
On Rules
WASHINGTON (P)-Yielding to
Congressional pressure, the rail-
road industry agreed yesterday to
a month's delay in its timetable
for the posting of new work rules
which threatened to touch off a
nationwide strike after midnight
Monday.
House and Senate leaders said
the 30-day postponement, to 12:01
a.m. on Aug. 29, would give Con-
gress sufficient time to act on
President Kennedy's plan to avert
a walkout by turning the dispute
over to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for two years.
It was the seventh time since
1960 that a deadline for imposi-
tion of the manpower-reducing
work rules had been set and then
postponed. Earlier delays came at
the request of the Kennedy Ad-
ministration and as a result of
court action.
Urge Postponement
Heads of the House and Senate
commerce committees had urged
the latest postponement, saying
Congress did not have time to act
on the Kennedy proposal before
next Monday midnight, the old
deadline.
Five unions representing on-
train employes had served notice
they would strike the minute the
changes became effective.
Daniel P. Loomis, president of
the Association of American Rail-
roads, announced the postpone-
ment as the House Commerce
Committee opened its second day
of hearings on the Administration
plan.
Accelerated Pace
On the other side of the Capitol,
Sen. John O. Pastore (D-RI) said
he was "very pleased," and prom-
ised the'Senate Commerce Com-
mittee will continue work at an
accelerated pace to get the Ad-
ministration proposal to the floor.
Pastore is acting chairman of the
committee.
One hundred ninety-five rail-
roads are involved in the four-
year-old work rules controversy,
which hinges on some 60,000 jobs
including those of 32,000 fireman,
and a variety of other jobs the
industry contends are unnecessary.
Loomis and J. E. Wolfe, chair-
man of the National Railway La-
bor Conference, argued the indus-
try case before the House com-
mittee.
'Reasonable, Necessary'
Loomis told the committee the
two-year life of the Administra-
tion settlement proposal is "rea-
sonable and necessary to make a
real 'test of whatever action the
commission might take."
"I do believe that a two-year
test should shed a great deal of
light on the proper solution to
these problems, and that it should
lead to a permanent settlement
within a two-year period," Loomis
said.
Big Three Agree
On Limited Pact
Foreign Ministers To Pursue Drive
For Ending Nuclear Experiments
MOSCOW (M--The United States, Britain and the Soviet
Union in a treaty initialed yesterday agreed to end nuclear
testing in the atmosphere, outer space and under water.
They immediately hailed their unprecedented accord as a
major breakthrough toward easing Cold War tensions.
In the agreement, the three powers also affirmed their
determination to continue striving for a complete ban on nu-
clear testing and implied they will give no nuclear aid to
nations that do not go along. The big three foreign ministers
-the United States' Dean Rusk, Britain's Lord Home and
Russia's Andrei A. Gromyko"
-will sign the treaty in Mos-
cow in "the near future," a .

BIG THREE ACCORD--Negotiators W. Averell Harriman for the United States, Lord Hailsham for
Britain and Andrei Gromyko for the Soviet Union yesterday initialed a treaty banning nuclear
weapons tests in the air, in outer space or under water. The treaty is expected to be signed in the
near future after United States Senate ratification. The negotiators expressed hope that the par-
tial test-ban would lead to agreement on other outstanding issues.

The reorganization in housing
followed the philosophy recom-
mendations of the OSA study
committee report of 1962 which
found a lack of definitive lines of
authority and a philosophy not
fully attuned to the Michigan
House Plan.
It specifically called for a di-
rector of housing and declared
that "educational purposes must.
infuse the residence halls."
Urge Reform
Other reports and studies, such'
as the Schaub report, conducted
by Harold Schaub, who was then
resident advisor in Strauss House,
urged a philosophic and structural
reform of the residence halls.
The Regents meeting is expect-
ed to be routine with no policy an-
nouncement. As usual, a few fac-
ulty appointments and changes in
status will be announced.

Gov. George Romney's Citizen's
Committee on Higher Education is

appointment of Alvin Bentley to
head its interim subcommittee.

Pickets Ask
More Jobs
By The Associated Press
More than 80 pickets, including
24 clergymen, were arrested yester-
day in another demonstration at a
hospital construction site in New
York City.
One group of 14 persons had
chained themselves together.
Nearly 550 persons have been
arrested at the site of the public-
financed medical center in Brook-
lyn since the picketing began
Monday with a mass demon-
stration of more than 1000 per-
sons. About 130 pickets were on
hand today.
Worm Force
The pickets want at least 25 per
cent of the work force on publicly
financed construction to be Ne-
groes.
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy
said in Washington that the gov-
ernment has no evidence that any
top leaders of the major civil rights
movements are Communists or
Communist-controlled.
In a letter released at a hearing
of the Senate Commerce Commit-
tee he specificallymentioned as
being free of Communist taint
Rev. Martin Luther King.
Raise Issue
The Communist issue previously
had been raised before the com-
mittee by three Southern gover-
nors.
The Chicago board of education
president and Negro leaders agreed
to discuss "open enrollment-for-
integration of all public schools."
The open meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday.
The board president said the
agreement was only to discuss the
issue.

in the assassination of Negro lead-
er Medgar Evers, was taken to

pital near Jackson for court-or-

Present Report
The first one is to be presented
to the special session of the Leg-
islature in October while the sec-
ond report is for the regular ses-
sion.
Karn publically announced yes-
terday that the committee had
received a $50,000 grant from the
W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle
Creek.
He said that the grant would
be used to employ a full time staff
and enlist consultative advice.
Employ Persons
"It will be used to employ per-
sons with educational backgrounds
and pay for the services of a staff
director," Karn commented.
He went on to say that the only
full-time paid employes of the
committee will be the staff direc-
tor and his secretary.
Up to now, the committee, or-
ganized last April by Romney to
look into the short-and-long range
problems of higher education in
the state, has been hindered in
its activity by a lack of funds.
Meets Four Times
The committee, composed of
about 60 members, has met four
times so far and up to now there
has been some question whether
the interim report would be fin-
ished by the estimated completion
date of October, 1963.
The interim report on the short
range needs is due in October
while the long range report is due
later in the year.
The Kellogg grant had been an
"open secret" for weeks and is the
second time that the foundation
has come to the aid of a state
group in needs of funds.
Eased Problem
In 1961, a $85,000 grant eased
the monetary problems of the Con-
stitutional Convention's prepara-
tory committee.
, Because of the grant two com-;
mittee members are resigning.
They are Emory Morris of Battle
Creek, foundation president, and
Dr. E. Gifford Upjohn of Kalama-
zoo, a foundation trustee. The
foundation prohibits its officials
from working on a project financ-
ed by it.
Propose UN
Arms Stall
UNITED NATIONS QP)-Afri-
cans were reported to -have pre-
paredaeresolution yesterday call-
ing for the UN Security Council
to embargo 'arms shipments to
Portugal.
Diplomatic sources said Ghana,
Morocco and the Philippines, as
members of the 11-nation council,
would hand in the resolution to-
day.
They said the resolution would
have the council decide that all
countries should stop any aid that1
would enable Portugal to continue
colonial repression and, for this
purpose, should act to prevent the
supply of arms and military equip-
nent to Portugal.
The informants said the pro-
posal made no mention of a full
economic and diplomatic boycott
of Portugal or of her suspension
or expulsion froni the United
Nations-ideas that have been dis-
cussed previously.
Some doubted that the arms
embargo could get' the seven votes
necessary for adoption.
The arms embargo goes against
mutual-aid commitments to Por-
tugal from four other members of
the North Atlantic Alliance that
are on the council - Britain,
France, Norway and the United
States.
The resolution was finished at
a meeting of the eight African
members of a 12-nation Asian-
African strategy committee.
communique said.
Undersecretary of State W.
Averell Harriman, who led the
United States team through the 10
Moscow sessions leading to agree-
ment, initialed the draft in a sim-
ple ceremony with Gromyko and
Britain's chief negotiator, Science
'Minister Lord Hailsham.;
Home called the agreement "the
first of any substance which the
West has been able to make with
the Russians" since the Austrian
treaty of 1955.
Not Bound
But in Paris, President }Charles
de Gaulle's government reaffirmed
that it would not be bound by the
test ban agreement in its efforts
to make France an independent
nuclear power.
Communist China, striving to
enter the nuclear club, had de-
nounced the treaty in advance at
the same time it was drawing far-
ther away from its Communist
world alignment with the Soviet
Union.
In Washington, President John
F. Kennedy moved quickly to mar-
shal American opinion behind the
treaty to win the two-thirds sup-
port in the Senate necessary for
ratification.
To Address Nation
The White House announced the
President will speak to the nation
tonight on the partial test-ban
agreement. The State Department
said Secretary of State Dean Rusk
is expected to take a Congression-
al delegation with him to Moscow
for the signing.
Right up to the initialing, it had
been feared the test ban negotia-
tions might flounder on Russian
demands that the treaty be asso-
ciated in some way with a non-
aggression pact between the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization and
the Communist Warsaw Pact na-
tions.
The United States and British
delegations opposed the Russian
stand. They insisted that they
would need the consent of all 15
NATO nations .for a non-aggres-
sion pact and this would delay-if
not make. impossible-a partial test
ban accord.
The initialing ceremony was held
up for four hours while the dele-
gations argued, presumably over
the non-aggression past issue. But
finally the test ban treaty was ini-
tialed independently.
CHARLES DE GAULLE
...not bound
Ban Includes
New Clause
WASHINGTON ( ')-The major
difference between the pending
limited nuclear test ban and the
treaty offered in 1962 by the
United States and Britain is in
an escape clause covering with-
drawal from the pact.
The new treaty says that each
nation has the right to withdraw
from the treaty if it decides that
"extraordinary events" related to
nuclear matters "have jeopardized
the supreme interests of its coun-
try." A three-months' notice of
withdrawal' is required.
In the 1962 proposal which the
United States and Britain pre-
sented to the 18-nation disarma-
ment committee in Geneva, there
were three points covering with-
drawal from the agreement, in-
cluding a provision that a, con-
ferepce be called to consider the
withdrawal request.
Safeguards Withdrawal
By simplifying the language,
United States officials feel the
safeguard of a withdrawal from
the tr' ±y has been broadened.
In addition, it would cover any
action .that' might result from a
surprise nuclear test explosion by
Communist China or other coun-
tries not now members of the nu-
clear club.
In the first article of the treaty,
the language calls for each of the
nations to prohibit, prevent "and
not to carry out" any nuclear
weapon test explosion, or any
other nuclear explosion in the at-
mosphere, outer space, or under
water.
Provision Exists
In this case the significant
phrase is "not to carry out" any
test explosion. This provision was
lacking in the 1962 proposal.
Article II of the new treaty
covers amendments to the treaty.
It provides that they must be ap-
proved by a majority of all the
parties including the original three
signing powers. The earlier pro-
