At the same time, former presi- dent Arturo Frondizi was' freed yesterday, 16 months and 2 days after the military deposed him from the presidency and put Jose Maria Guido in his place. Illia, the son of an Italian im- migrant, held 189 electoral, college votes with the voting complete in 18 of the country's 23-provinces and federal district. 55 More Votes In the remaining five voting districts he was assured of another 55 votes being cast for his elec- tion by his own party, the People's 1Radical Civic Union. This would give Illia 244 votes-five more than needed for election. Before the electoral college be- gan the last stage of selecting a new president, Dr. Illia had suffi- cient pledges to assure his election. In the popular voting July 7, he polled 26 per cent of the ballots. The election was marked by a government ban on the participa- tion of followers of exiled ex- dictator Juan Peron as candidates for office. Peron was ousted in 1955. Indirect Election In Argentina, the people vote for meinbers of the electoral col- lege and the college then votes for a president but the procedure is somewhat different from that of the electoral college system in the United States. Illia is an anti-Communist, and an anti-Peronist moderate who campaigned mainly on four issues, including the freeing of political prisoners.. Moderate Policy Argentines actually elect mem- bers of the electoral college, rather than vote directly for a president. Electoral college candi- dates promise their votes to one presidential candidate, but they are not pledged to carry out that promise. Thus the election of a president is not certain until after the bal- loting by the 476-member elec- toral college. A simple majority of the electoral college vote is enough for election. He called for a restoration of constitutional guarantees, a re- vision of the electric and oil con- cessions to foreign companies- particularly United States com- panies-in his campaign for the presidency., Earlier in the day Illia was quot- ed by a newspaper as saying that unemployment and undernourish- nent in Argentina were more pressing problems than the situa- tion of foreign oil companies do- ing business in Argentina. which passed at Monday night's Council meeting. Some Differences, The mayor noted that "some major differences of opinion exist within the (legislative) committee and it is evident that many people in the community are not satis- fied with the new proposal." Committee Chairman Wendell E. Hulcher, Fourth Ward Republi- can, said, "any effort put forth can be beneficial. What I am most concerned with is that all areas, the Human Relations Commission, the council committee and this new panel, are kept active and brought to bear on the final solu- tion." The panel will work. independ- ently of the Council committee. Wheeler Speaks In favoring the establishment of the new group, Prof. Albert Wheeler, of the Medical School, local head of the housing commit- tee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple, said, "the Council and the committee had come in with what would be their maximum propos- als. 'They were far below what civil rights groups and Negroes thought adequate for an ordi- nance." He added that public hearings have been of little value in the past and that there was little hope that they would influence Coun- cil in the future. "This put us in a position to either .make a lot of noise and accept the proposal or come out and reject it. ' "The panel is an alternative to negotiate differences as has been done in other cities." Mayor's Initiative Prof. Wheeler noted that the idea for a meeting to discuss this problem came from the mayor. Out of this meeting came the commu- nity panel. He said that groups such as NAACP, the Ann Arbor Fair Housing Association-Congress of Racial Equality, the American; Civil Liberties Union, members of the three major religious faiths, representatives of each political' party, realtors, bankers and busi- nessmen will form the committee.' There is a divided view among realtors. Some oppose a strong or- dinance while others are for one that would be completely compre- hensive, Prof. Wheeler said. The position of bankers and the rest of the business community is un- certain, he added.' "Demonstrations made public of-1 ficials stop and realize that :they can't sit down and dictate a mini- mum policy without protest," he said. Pointing to what Creal termed "emotion, demonstrations and con- troversy," he said, "It is my desire that any local ordinance would serve to eliminate exsting unfair housing practices while being fair to all. It should help to restore an atmosphere of understanding and cooperation between local gov- ernment and the citizens in all of Ann Arbor." The City Council committee has been working on a fair housing proposal since spring. Members of the committee include Hulcher, Councilman John Dowson, Second Ward Republican; Paul Johnson, Third Ward Republican; Bent Nielsen, Fifth Ward Republican, and Eunice Burns, First Ward Democrat. Senators Seek New Plan' To Delay Railroad Strike WASHINGTON (A)-Five Senate Democrats introduced legisla- tion yesterday to require 60 more days of bargaining in the railroad work rules dispute. Both sides wouldbe directed to negotiate, a strike or lockout would be prohibited and a special Congressional watchdog committee would oversee the talks. Sen. Clair Engle of California, one of the sponsors, said if no solution .is found after the 60 days, "it will be necessary for us to move ~to compulsion of one form or an- Violence Hits In New York By The Associated Press NEW YORK-Police reserves were rushed to a New York City construction site when about 100 surging, shrieking anti-bias dem- onstrators threatened to get out of control yesterday. Patrolmen traded punches with two demonstrators. Twenty-two persons were arrested, bringing to nearly 750 the number arrested at construction sites throughout the city, in three weeks. In Washington, D.C., William Loeb, publisher of the Manchester, N. H., Union Leader, charged that "Communists definitely are a fac- tor in the civil rights agitation." He told a Senate commerce com- mittee hearing that Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy's statement that there is no evidence of Com- munist involvement is "entirely unbelievable." Judge Protests Judge Ben F. Cameron, Missis- sippi's member on the 5th United States Circuit Court of Appeals, has protested in a special dissent that the chief judge changed rules 'in order to accomplish a desired result." Cameron said that some com- bination of four of the court's nine judges nearly always constitutes a majority on the three-judge panels appointed to hear civil rights cases., County officials in Birmingham, Ala., denied a justice department suit's charge that the board of registirars discriminated against Negro voter applicants. Immediate Action other against either the carriers or the unions in order to- prevent a strike that would have a disas- trous effect on the economy of this country." Both the railroads and the five on-train unions invol'ved would "have to look down the barrel of a gun held by a Congressional com- mittee while they are actually in the collective bargaining process," Engle declared. No Time to Act He said he had offered the new proposal because "it is impossible' for us (dongress) to resolve the questions involved" before a na- tionwide rail strike deadline - Aug. 29. The proposal would substitute for President John F. Kennedy's bill authorizing the Interstate Commerce Com-Assion to hand down binding rulings on the job- reducing work rules. They would be effective during a two-year per- iod unless supplanted by a nego- tiated agreement. The new bill almost immediately drew fire from the carriers. Wolfe Opposed At a night hearing of the Sen- ate Commerce Committee, J. E. Wolfe, the railroads' chief nego- tiator, said the railroads "cannot support and must oppose" the pro- posal because it "would merely de- lay the final disposition of the dis- pute." Joining Engle initially in spon- soring the substitute, which would temporarily get Congress out of an increasingly uncomfortable posi- tion, were Sens. Ralph W. Yarbor- ough (D-Tex), Vance Hartke (D- Ind), and E. L. Bartlett (D-Alas- ka). Engle later announced that Sen. Howard W. Cannon (D-Nev) had joined as a sponsor. It was not immediately clear how much additional support the five might pick up. White House Names Test Ban Delegation WASHINGTON (A)-Secretary of State Dean Rusk will leave for Moscow tomorrow to sign the new nuclear test ban treaty. He will be accompanied by a bipartisan 10-man delegation includ- ing five senators. The formal ceremony is expected to be held Monday. The White House, announcing this, picked as senatorial delegates: Democrats J. W. Fulbright of Arkansas, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee; Hubert Humphrey, Minnesota, chairman of the foreign relations subcommittee on<- - disarmament; John 0. Pastore, Rhode Island, chairman of the Asian Chiefs and Republicans Leverett Salton- stall, Massachusetts, top Repub- e ar A ccord lican on the Armed Services Com- mittee, and George Aiken, Ver- mont, a ranking GOPmember of the foreign relations and disarm- ament groups. Two Missing Notably missing were Sens. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the Senate GOP leader, and Bourke B. Hickenlooper of' Iowa, senior Re-. publican on the Foreign Relations Committee. Their omission was not unex- pected as both had indicated they did not want to go and have an open position on the treaty. But it underscored the probability the level of the Republican represen- tatives had fallen below adminis- tration desires.- Also missing was Mike Mansfield of Montana, the Senate's Demo- cratic leader. A White House source said it was felt both Mans- field and Dirksen were needed here because of the Senate's work. load.1 Too Much Legislation Mansfield later told the Senate it would be "inappropriate" for him or Dirksen to go because of7 "A great backlog of legislation." White House Press Secretary3 Pierre Salinw r told newsmen a definite da' a for the signing has not been set. But U Thant, secre- tary-general of the United Nations,. said at his headquarters Tuesday night he would be in Moscow Mon-t day for the event. Salinger said it is not yet known how long the delegates will remain in Moscow. Rusk, however, is ex- pected to be there several days ex- ploring various East-West issues with the Soviets.J Besides the senators, Rusk's par- ty will include United States dis- armament chief William C. Foster, Atomic Energy Commission Chair- man Glenn Seaborg, UN Ambassa- dor Adlai Stevenson, East-West af- fairs adviser Llewellyn Thompson and Arthur Dean, former United States disarmament negotiator. 4 One influential Republican, Sen.E Barry Goldwater of Arizona, told a reporter he has an open mind, on the treaty but expressed reser- vations. He said his mail is run-3 ning 60 to 40 against ratification. Undersecretary of State W. Aver- rell Harriman initialed the new1 treaty with the Soviet Union and Great Britain in Moscow last; Thursday.: SEN. CLAIR ENGLE ... solution or compulsion MANILA (IP)-Government chiefs of Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaya got their summit meeting off to a flying start yesterday and virtually assured peaceful agree- ment to foundation of the dis- puted Federation of Malaya. Indonesian President Sukarno, Malayan Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman and Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal sat down at the first closed session in a cordial atmosphere. Three hours later, they announced approval of a report by their foreign minis- ters on a formula to solve the Ma- laysia question and forge harmony among the three states of Malay origin. They decided to ask United Na- tions Secretary-General U Thant to "ascertain the wishes" of the people of North Borneo and Sara- wak. These territories, together with Malaya and Singapore, are to form the Malaysia Federation Aug. 31. Borneo Issue The question of self-determina- tion for the Borneo peoples earlier had threatened to wreck the sum- mit before it even got under way. Indonesia and Malaya had dis- agreed over interpretation of the formula, and Sukarno revived the cold war with Malaya. A communique. on the subject did not say whether Malayasia would be postponed to allow suf- ficient time for the opinion samp- ling in the Borneo territories. Ma- laya has vowed it would not delay the federation's formation beyond Aug. 31.'; Indonesian sources said the de- velopments did not necessarily mean they had surrendered their demands for a referendum. But they argeed the opinion sampling would be left to U Thant. Close Cooperation The communique reaffirmed the determination of the three lead- ers to "establish the closest co- operation" among their countries. Approval of the foreign ministers report, hammered out at a Manila meeting last month, also paved the way for eventual establishment of a Malayan confederation and for the three nations to assume joint responsibility for the stability and security of their region against subversion. Their jubilance contrasted sharp- ly with reports from Jakarta that the Borneo people had been told to prepare for general mobilization in efforts to frustrate Malaysia. Other reports spoke of organiza- tions throughout 'Indonesia pledg- ing support for Sukarno's policy of "confrontation" against Malaya. ERIC I LOUW ... domestic matter UiN Scores Segregation UNITED NATIONS (-) - The United Nations Security Council slapped a limited arms embargo yesterday on Portugal and urgent- ly requested that NATO nation to take immediate steps toward granting freedom to its African territories. By an 8-0 vote, with three ab- stentions, the 11-nation council approved an amended resolution supported by 32 African nations. The abstainers were the big three NATO allies of Portugal- the United States, Britain and France. Then the council turned its at- tention to racial segregation pol- icies (apartheid) in South Africa., The council was requested by the Africannations to take up both the Portuguese territories and the racial segregation issue when it convened nine days ago. Immediately, S o u t h Africa served notice it wouldhnot take part in the debate on what it con- tends is a domestic matter. A message from South African Foreign Minister Eric Louw read to the council denied the African contention that his country's white supremacy policy is threat- ening world peace. Louw said it was the African nations who are-'planning and fi- nancing the training of military units in "sabotage and guerrilla war tactics for use in South Af- rica." He described the African move in the council as "an ill-judged and unjust attack.". Dr. John Karefa-Smart, for- eign minister of Sierra Leone, led off the attack in the council on the regime of Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd. He demanded that the council impose an em- bargo on arms and oil shipments to South Africa, as recommended by a UN special committee in- vestigating racial segregation in that country. Thecdecision on Portugal was taken at a morning session where Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson declared after the vote that the United States agreed with much of the substance of the approved resolution, but objected to some of its language. To0 Conform To New Law- Requirement Changes To Smooth Transition from Old To New Constitution By The Associated Press LANSING-The extension of the terms of most current state and county elected officials-including' the Regents-was proposed yester- day by Rep. Russell Strange (R- Clare) to make a smooth transi- tion from the old state constitu- tion to the new one. Strange, chairman of a joint- House-Senate committee studying the revision of state law to con- form with the new constitution, indicated that the elimination of spring elections and the require- ment for staggered court terms makes. the extension a necessity. The terms of incumbant Re- gents, the Wayne State Univer sity Board of Governorsand the Michigan State University Board of Trustees would be extended a year under the Strange plan. Spring Elections Currently, the Regents are elect- ed in the spring of odd-numbered years and take their seats the following January. The terms of the current board range from Jan. 1, 1966 to Jan. 1, 1972 ex- piration dates. The added year would allow these officials to be elected in November of an even numbered year, like the governor, and take their seats the following January-an odd numbered year. Others that would benefit from an added year in office would be state Supreme and circuit court judges. Members of the state Board of Education would get 18 extra months. To provide for staggered circuit court and appellate court terms in districts with more than one judge, Strange proposes that "one-shot" eight and 10 years be established for judges elected next year and in 1966. Six-Year Minimum Under the new constitution, judges cannot run for less than six year terms. The new document also requires staggered terms for both circuit and appellate judges. "Therefore," Strange said, "three appellate judges will run for six- year terms, three for eight-year terms and three for 10-year terms. "In two-judge circuits, one will run for six years, the other for eight. If there were three judges, the third would seek a 10-year term," he continued. Term Extended Township officials terms would be also be extended from two to four years. The new constitution did not intend that both county and township officials be elected in the same year, Strange said, so township terms must be stretched. Electing both would "make an unwieldy ballot and we're left with the out of extending the county officials so they can run in the gubernatorial election year," hae explained. Sen. William Leppien (R-Sagi- naw), a committee member and a constitutional convention dele- gate, backed up Strange's asser- tion saying this division of offices was the convention's intent. Strange predicted that his pro- posals would have rough sledding because "a lot of county officials could run against their legislators next year without having any- thing to lose since they know they can keep their county job if they get beaten." Abolish Job Meanwhile, a sub-committee has suggested that the Legislature abolish the job of, Highway Com- missioner John C. Mackie. The new constitution creates a four- man appointive highway commis- sion to replace the commissioner's job. Mackie, a foe of the new docu- ment, called the proposal a rather blatant political move." Sen. Garry Brown (R-School- craft), subcommittee ' chairman, explained that if the Legislature Defense Chief Tells Germans U.S. To Stay BONN ()P) - Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara was reported to have assured West- German leaders yesterday the United States plans no reduction of its military effort in Europe in view of the lim- ited test ban accord with Britain and the Soviet Union. Informed sources said there was no discussion of possible American troop withdrawals from Europe in McNamara's talks with leading figures of the West German gov- ernment. McNamara and West German Defense Minister Kai-Uwe Von Hassel conferred on strategy and weapons research within the North' Atlantic Treaty Organization. Gen. Friedrich Foertsch, West Ger- many's top soldier, joined them.. McNamara later called on Chan-' cellor Konrad Adenauer, who is to step down in the fall, and Ad9- nauer's scheduled successor, Eco- nomics Minister Ludwig Erhard. One of McNamara's main jobs was to discuss the agreement under which West Germany spends up to $700 million a year on military goods and services in the United States.

The delega- New Tension in Korea Pop Defines Byzantine Rites By VAUGHN WALKER Rev. George Pop, pastor of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (Romanian Byzantine rite), speaking at the Newman Club summer lecture series, said that the basic difference between the Roman church and the Byzantine church lies in the ritual of the mass. Rev. Pop was speaking from the background of a Catholic who observes the Byzantine rite and distinguished his church from the more numerically powerful Orthodox churches. He noted that Roman Cath- tion had been here two weeks.
