LXXIII, No. 29-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1963 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES CIVIL RIGHTS UNIT: Agree on Commission Power By ANDREW ORLIN One of the three joint legislative subcommittees has agreed that [ the new Civil Rights Commission will replace the present Fair Em- ploynent Practices Commissions as well as take on other sweeping powers.k The subcommittee is part of a joint legislative committee studying methods in which to implement the new state constitution whichj goes into effect January 1. The commission is to be a bipartisan body dealing with com- plaints of racial and religious discrimination. Absolute Power: State Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley said that the new commission s would have absolute power to protect civil rights in education, em- To Net ie Ca ngeover A joint legislative committee is now studying 'methods of imple- menting the new constitutior which goes into effect January 1. Three subcommittees are study- ing problems related to imple- menting the document. One is studying elections plans another judicial plans and the third is concerned with executive and administrative problems. Legislative Enactments Some of the constitution's pro- visions become effective as they are implemented by legislative enactments, Prof. William Pierce director of the Legislative Re- search Center and consultant tc the committee, said. Hence the legislature must en- act laws which will establish and provide for the machinery. The new State Court of Appeals is a good example. The Constitution has estab- lished a Court of Appeals but mat- ters such as where it will sit and how it will operate are left to the legislature to decide., Send Bills About 50 bills and proposals will be sent before the legislature by the joint committee in order to ac- tivate the constitution, Prof. Pierce said. One of the bills that will have to go to the special legislative ses- sion .for approval will be yester- dayr'' decision of the judicial sub- cormmittee setting up the Court of Appeals election districts. ' Wayne County will elect three members, Oakland County one member and the rest of the state the remaining five members. The subcommittee also decided that the nine judges should be paid an annual salary of $23,000. They will be first elected in the fall of 1964 to take office in 1965. County Lines The election districts, according to the new constitution, are to be established using county lines with as nearly equal populations as possible. The other election districts be- sides Wayne and Oakland would each elect one judge to the appel- late bench apiece. They would be: I One Judge Each Macomb, St. Clair, Lapeer, San- ilac, Tuscola, Saginaw and Huron Counties; Genesee, Livingston, Shiawassee, Clinton, Ionia, Gratiot, Contcalm, Midland, Bay, Isabella and Clare Counties; Washtenaw, 'Monroe, Lenawee, Ingham, Eaton, Barry, Calhoun, Jackson, St. Joseph, Branch and Hillsdale Counties; Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Van Buren, Kalamazoo, Berien and Cass Counties; and The rest of northern and west- ern Lower Michigan with Muske- gon County and all of the Upper Peninsula. Democrats Hit .School Crisis Tax Bungling * loyment, private housing and public accommodations. Prof. William Pierce, director of the Legislative Research Center at the University and committee con- sultant, noted that the body is set up by a "self-executing provi- sion in respect to its powers." S The powers will have to be im- plemented by the Legislature. JOHN MACKIE . out of a job? Local Power He added that the wide sweeping power of the commission "does not rule out power of a local na- ture," since there has yet to be a formal statement by the attorney general on the matter. There has been some objection to Kelley's cont ntion of the com- mission's power. A number of leg- islators have disagreed with the attorney general's statement and others have wondered whether or not it would hold up in court. Presently, two Detroit city coun- cilmen are awaiting a reply from Kelley to 'a formal request for clarification of the problem. Legal Power They wish to learn the legal pow- er of the city to pass 'civil rights ordinances. The answer to this question will affect civil rights action in every local unit in the state. Prof. Pierce viewed the estab- lishment of the commission as a great advance, since it provides a public forum which will "void mobs in the streets." He believes that the commission will go a long way in cutting down on demonstrations, pickets and the like. "Anything you do to get people to talk over problems is of great help," he said. Prof. Pierce added that with the establishment of the agency "people will not have to resort to unusual methods." Under the new constitution, any party to a case may appeal the decision of the commission to the circuit court. Calls Policyr Destructive WASHINGTON ()-Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark?~ suggested yes- terday that the key to the foreign policy favorediby Sen. Barry Gold- water (R-Ariz) "is a bold,' cour- ageous' and 'determined' policy of co-annihilation." Fulbright, in a satiric speech, told the Senate that it must be purely coincidental that some of Goldwater's views are similar to those of the rulers of Communist China. "The senator from Arizona is opposed to coexistence," Ful- bright, chairman of the foreign relations committee, said. "So are' the Chinese Communists. Don't Misinterpret "I am confident that no fair- minded American will misinterpret the interesting parallel between the senator's views on these mat- ters and those of the Chinese Communists." Few senators were on hand when Fulbright spoke. There was no re- sponse from any of the Republi- cans. Fulbright gibed also at the avowed conservatism of Gold- water, regarded as a principal contender for next year's Presi- dential nomination although he says he is seeking only re-election to the Senate. Higher Office "It is rumored," Fulbright said, "that the senator from Arizona may be prevailed upon to seek higher office. Should that prove to be the case, he will undoubtedly spell out a dynamic program of national action under some stir- ring title like 'The Fundamentals of Illiberalism' or 'Let's Get the Government out of the Business of Government'.". Fulbright said Goldwater has made it entirely clear that he op- poses coexistence between the Communist countries and the free world. It would seem to follow that the lIay Abolish Ste Office One of the joint subcommittees studying ways to implement the new constitution has considered abolishing Highway Commissioner John Mackie's job. The commissioner's job isto be superceded by a state highway commission. Although a change is also oc- curring in the state board of edu- cation, the job of Supt. of Public InstructionLynn Bartlett does not face the same fate, Prof. William Pierce of the Law School and con- sultant to the joint legislative committee said. Maintain Office He noted that under the new constitution all persons in elective offices will maintain them. However, Prof. Pierce said that Mackie's position is one cheated by statute and therefore may be abol- ished before the new constitution becomes effective on January 1. After that date, his position will be protected along with the other elective posts by a provision of the new constitution. Establish Post Bartlett on the other hand holds a position which was established under the first Michigan Consti- tution of 1835. Although the edu- cation posts are no longer elective under the new constitution they will probably serve out their terms. Mackie, a Democrat, has made a number of political enemies in his powerful post as Highway Com- missioner. He viewed the possible plans to remove him as "a rather blatant political move." However, Mackie indicated he will not be eased out of public life. He said he would run for another post if his job is abolished. Troops Invade South Korea PANMUNJOM, Korea (P) - The United Nations command accused Communist North Korea today of a series of bloody intrusions into United Nations controlled terri- tory along the Korean truce line. North Korea called the charges "fabrications." The exchange, one of the hottest in 10 years of uneasy armistice commission meetings here, came shortly after the UN command, disclosed that fresh firing erupted early today between American and Communist forces along the line dividing North and South Korea. U.S. Bans Shipment Of Arms UNITED NATIONS (P) - The United States announced yester- day a ban on, sales of all military equipment to South Africa by the end of the year. But it opposed punitive action by the Security Council aimed at forcing South Africa to abandon its white supremacy policies. United States Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson made the announce- ment to the 11-nation council as it considered requests by African nations that it impose severe dip- lomatic and economic penalties against Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's Nationalist govern- ment.. "We cannot accept the propo- sition that the only alternative to Apartheid is bloodshed," Steven- son said. Stevenson spoke after Alex Quaison-Sackey, delegate from Ghana, requested the council to consider expulsion of South Africa from the United Nations. He made no concrete proposal, and none so drastic is expected. Stevenson declared the United States was taking the arms em- bargo action to indicate the deep concern which his government feels at the failure of South Africa to abandon its racial segregation policies. 'Bid Fails For Center By PHILIP SUTIN Co-Editor The University will not get a hoped for $50 million National Aeronuatics and Space Adminis- tration space electronics research center, Sen., Clinton P. Anderson (D-NM) indicated yesterday. The site of the center, original- ly designated for Boston, has been in doubt since several space re- search firms in the area protested against the project last February. The firms feared the new facility would draw business and skilled manpower from their businesses. The Senate Space Committee Thursday reversed an earlier de- cision to shelve the center and not appropriate $5 million to start it, but threw the site into question by asking more data from NASA. The reversal is seen as a victory for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D- Mass) in whose state the center was originally to be located. First Preference Anderson, explaining why the center would' not be located here, said that Boston probably was NASA's first preference, followed by California and then the Chi- cago area. He noted that California, in addition to Boston, had its advo- cates.f The University bid for the cen- ter came last March when Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher confered with NASA administrator James Webb while in Washington to address the annual alumni dinner. Express Interest- Vice-President f o r Research Ralph A. Sawyer had also writ- ten a letter to NASA expressing the University's interest in the project. The University is currently un- dertaking $4 million worth of NASA projects a year and is get- ting a $1.75 million buildig on North Campus to house most of this work, Peirng As Ant Graduate Grants Increase Say s Soviets Betray Cause Of People By JEAN TENANDER The total number of fellow- ships and scholarships admin- istered by the graduate school increased to 1,377 last year from the previous year's total of 878, a report by Ralph A. Sawyer, dean of the graduate school, indicates. The report, released yester- day, is prepared annually and presented to University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher for his study and information. According to the report the total funds available for fel- lowships a n d scholarships amounted to $2.64 million. The reported total for last year was $1.8 million. Small increases occurred in many of the cate- gories and substantial increases in special and endowed post- doctoral fellowships in the Na- tional Science Foundation Co- operative Graduate Fellowships and in the National Defense Education Act Fellowship. Fellowships , T h e National Aeronautics and Space Administration Do- mestic Traineeship and Foreign Fellowship are new and the United States Public Health Service Traineeship and Pre- doctoral Fellowship have been included in the report for the first time this year. The various Rackham En- dowment funds provided 57 per, cent of the $608,000 total ad- Last year 104 such grants were awarded. This number has been fairly consistent for the last five years. The sums were awarded fairly evenly to the various academic areas. Sixteen Summer Faculty Re- search Fellowships were award- ed, of which 10 will be held by instructors and assistant pro- fessors. Last summer the school administered 20 summer fellow- ships. Four grants-in-aid for sup- port of scholarly publications were made last year. A single grant of $11,306 was made to the University Press for the publication of Persian and Ar- abic Readers, prepared by the Near Eastern studies depart- ment under the NDEA contract. Enrollment Increase The report indicates that the graduate school increased its enrollment during the past year as it has done for the past 10 years. The annual percentage increase has been somewhat more than fivexper cent. The fall enrollment for 1962 was 6,532. If the five per cent annual increase continues, the enrollment in 1965 ,ill be over, 7500 and in 1970 will be nearly 10,000. The report notes, however, that these figures may be un- duly conservative, and that the number of graduates who have See AVAILABLE, Page 3 Sees Test Clius New Pact Aims at Enslaving Non-Aton Nations RALPH A.

Harris of the Law School blasted the weaknesses of the draft fair housing ordin- ance Thursday night as the city Democrats urged a stronger mea- sure. Discussing the difference be- tween the draft ordinance, passed on first reading last ;Monday and a series of fair housing proposals known as the "clergymen's or- dinance," Prof. Harris said a strong ordinance was needed for enforcing open occupancy would be difficult even under the best of measures. "Proving the motive of discrim- ination is very difficult unless the person is so crass as to make a racial slur. So you need a pretty good ordinance to get moving at all. You need flexibility in the en- forcement provisions," Prof. Har- ris declared. He noted that court injunc- tions, which can' take a variety of forms and criminal prosecution, with jury trial and a possible jail sentence, and available under the "clergymen's ordinance." The draft ordinance "would make only criminal prosecution for a $100 fine available, unless there .had been a previous convic-, tion. Then an injunction could be sought. The clergymen give the city at-. torney 10 days to investigate a complaint referred to him by the Human Relations Commission and decide whether to go to court. Time Limit There is no time limit in the draft ordinance. Opportunities are multiplied to apply social and po- litical pressure," Prof. Harris said. Noting that only a $100 fine was to be imposed and that no jail WorldNews Roundup' By The Associated Press MANILA-Success of the summit meeting of the Philippines, Malaya and Indonesia was uncertain today after Britain's refusal to permit voting in Sarawak and North Borneo before the scheduled formation of the Federation of Malaysia Aug. 31. * * * * NEW DELHI-Usually reliable sources said yesterday India was turned down by the United States in a bid for antiaircraft missiles J'and the Soviet Union has now term is included, he said the ordin- ance would be a civil law. The city would have to institute civil pro- ceedings to collect, Prof. Harris warned. He cited three barriers in the draft ordinance against effective- ness: File Complaint 1) Only the person discriminat- ed against.can file a complaint. A friend or group that knows of this discrimination cannot; 2) The name and address of the alleged discriminator must be list- ed. "This can be sticky if dealing with a corporation and the sales- man refused to give the name and address of those in control;" and 3) It is a misdemeanor if one "willfully files a false complaint." This is a new legal term and un- clear. Other Weaknesses Prof. Harris, cited other weak- nesses in the draft ordinance es- peeially on the number of units needed for coverage. The Democrats passed a resolu- tion urging coverage of the sale of all real property, and renting down to the. "family cirole" level, removal of unusual obstacles to enforcement, usual procedure on the effective date and the exten- sion of the injunctive procedures.

Wirtz Offers New Proposal OnRail Staike WASHINGTON (R) - Secretary' of Labor W. Willard Wirtz made suggestions last night "relative to the key issues" in the lingering' dispute which threatens to bring a nationwide rail strike, Wirtz said after a 45-minute meeting with the parties that his' suggestions-which he declined to describe-"are not recommenda- tions for settlement." Instead, he said. they are suggestions which TOYKO ()-Red China declar- ed today that the partial test ban agreement is "a United States- Soviet alliance against China, pure and simple." Peking charged that Premier Nikita Khrushchev, by agreeing to the ban, had betrayed the Soviet people. It predicted he would be overthrown. An anti-Soviet broadside in an editorial in Peking People's Daily dropped the last vestige of re- strain in Red China's attacks on the agreement scheduled to be signed in Moscow Monday. Freaks, Monsters Another People's Daily editori yesterday had called the Kremlin leaders freaks and monsters. It charged that the big three aimed to enslave non-nuclear nations- for the moment, apparently, that includes China-by the test ban treaty. The editorial today, translated into English and broadcast by the New China News Agency, was titled "This is Betrayal of the So- viet People." It said, "The Communist Party of the Soviet Union is a great party which was founded by Lenin himself and which has grown up in the course of struggle against opportunism of various stripes. "Eventually, any deal which be- trays the Soviet Union, will defin- itely end in failure." The ;editorial said, "While fra- ternizing with United States im- perialism on the most intimate terms, the Soviet leader and the Soviet press showed their teeth in their hatred of Socialist China. They use the same language as United States-imperialism to abuse China. Insincerity The Soviet government news-, paper Izvestia charged Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai showed in- sincerity as long as four years ago., Illustrating that, it said Chou launched a campaign against the Soviet Communist Party shortly after he endorsed Kremlin leader- ship at the 1959 party congress in Moscow. Stalinist Albania, a Soviet bloc outcast long allied with China, took a potshot at Khrushchev. It accused him of "unconditional concessions and capitulation to the imperialists" in agreeing to the nuclear test ban. U.S. Delegates Go to Moscow To Sign Treaty WASHINGTON (A) - Secretary of State Dean Rusk led a United States delegation off to Moscow last night, expressing hope that the signing of the test ban treaty "will prove to be the first of a series of steps leading towards'' peace." "We can't tell for certain" yet whether .the historic accord to out- law atomic explosions will lead to further East-West agreements, Rusk said. "There's much unfin- ished business'ahead of us." Presumably referring to explor- atory conversations he intends to hold with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and other high Rus- sian officials next week, Rusk add- ed that "perhaps during this visit we shall find out" the prospects. The signing of the treaty is set for 4:30 p.m. Monday (Moscow time) at the Kremlin.; A half-dozen Senators were on the delegation - four Democrats and two Republicans - and Rusk noted that it will be up to the Senate to decide whether to ratify the treaty. Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R- Mass) . rnkin VTAPr mm.h,. f International Square Dance Ten Democratic state legislators objected to a new tax plan pro- posed by a northwest Detroit civic group. The plan, calling for a five per cent income tax plan, either grad- uated or flat rate, was designed to help Detroit schools meet an im- pending fiscal crisis, which may force Detroit schools to go on a half-day basis.. The plan called for the state to retain the three per cent flat rate income tax with the remaining two per cent being borne by counties, cities and school districts. agreed to supply them.
