The administration seems to feel it already has this power under the Constitution and existing legislation though it is now requesting power to withhold aid from Congress. The Hearings on Treaty To Begin in Senate WASHINGTON (P)-President John F. Kennedy will send the new nuclear test ban treaty to the Senate tomorrow, the 'White House said yesterday. Hearings lasting an expected two to three weeks will begin Monday with Secretary of State Dean Rusk in the chair.

Miss Prescod, working in Green- wood, said the Negroes appeared at the voting place where they pre- sented the election officials with affidavits and ballots already marked. The vote-in procedure called for unregistered citizens to cast ballots under a state law permit- ting those wrongly omitted from the poll lists to votebytaffidavit, and was planned by CORE. The four candidates: former Governor J. P. Coleman, 49, Lt. Gov. Paul Johnson, 47, Robert Mason, 65, a Magee welder, and Charles Sullivan, 38, a Clarksdale lawyer. If one man cannot draw a ma- jority, the two top men compete in a runoff election August 27. Bal- loting was reported heavy. At 12 p.m. with 542 of 1,882 pre- cincts reporting, results showed Johnson ahead with 22,708, Cole- man next with 19",082, Sullivan with 15,705 and Mason with 458 votes. Although whites stood by with guns, no incidents took place, Miss Prescod said. The demonstration was protest- ing state procedures of registra- tion. One Negro woman passed the literacy test but was not allowed to vote because she was not permitted to pay the poll tax, Miss Prescod said. Another couldn't vote be- cause members of the FBI had held a Negro's poll tax receipts for in- vestigation, she added. Atty. Gen. Joe Patterson said Saturday that in his opinion the, law did not provide for "vote-ins" and said such action was illegal. In Montgomery, Alabama, bills which could be used to segregate' white and Negro students by class- rooms were given unanimous ap- proval today by the Alabama House. They went to the Senate for ac- tion there. The two measures whose spon- sor, Rep. Alton Turner of Cren-, shaw County, said he introduced them at the request of Gov. Georgej Wallace, would give broad powersI to local school boards in placing and grouping students. They pass- ed 95-0, 92-0. Turner said the legislation was designed to "give school boards a little more power to handle such things as disciplinary problems." Another bill pending in the House would give school officials the authority to split the school day into two sessions and classing students accordingly. Eleven Southern states last year received nearly $3.2 billion in fed- eral aid. The administration is continuing its efforts to get the fund-with- holding provision passed as part of the civil rights package to elimi- nate any possible disputes over its authority. The withholding proposal has not received wide support, and chances for congressional approval are slim, reported the Journal. Begin To Act The administration has already begun to act on the problem, which, in the words of one admin- istrative official, "won't pass, and neither will the pressures on the government to act.", President Kennedy has barred discrimination by executive order in hiring by government contrac- tors, in employment on federally- financed construction projects and in the sale of housing financed directly by the government or through government-guaranteed mortgages. Servicemen's Children Schools educating the children of servicemen living on a nearby base must also be non-discrimina- tory. But the administration has been slow in actually withholding funds, the Journal reported. This fall the first cash cutoff will come, to eight Southern schools who re- fused to admit children of Negro servicemen. But six Southern colleges have dropped out of the National De- fense Education Act's summer pro- gram and many others have with- drawn from National Science Foundation institutes. Mississippi and Louisiana withdrew from the civil defense adult education pro- gram when it required desegre- gation beginning July 1. Desegregated Operation "In each of these programs, though the law does not require desegregated operation, adminis- tration officials overruled earlier interpretations and declared they had legal authority to act. The housing order Kennedy issued last November rested on three legs- on Supreme Court decisions that restrictive covenants could not be enforced in housing sales, on a post-Civil War law that all United States citizens have equal rights to hold and convey personal pro- perty, and on a statement in the 1939 Housing Act that the 'general welfare' requires a decent home for every American family," the Journal said. A new law banning discrimina- tion in the sale of housing financ- ed by banks and savings and loan associations whose deposits are in- sured by the Federal Deposit In- surance Corp. or Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Co. is under consideration. Lenders would lose their insurance if they failed to cooperate. MIKE MANSFIELD .. .test ban Attack Local Income Tax DETROIT ()-Democratic leg- islators convened with Govefnor Romney and his advisors for a two-day meeting to discuss tax plans. At the meeting they made clear their opposition to a local option provision for income tax. At an informal caucus they adopted a statement asking "sufficient re- lief for local government to allow repeal of the Detroit city income tax," and repeal of sales tax on food and drugs, business activities tax and homestead property tax exemption. Romney refused to reveal his own tax plans. Sources indicated they thought hewould unveil them by television broadcast about Sep- tember 11 when he plans to con- vene the Legislature for a special tax session. Income Tax Prediction Democratic- Lt. Gov. T. John Lesinski predicted that Romney's tax propram will be based on an income tax. Romney met with Democratic lawmakers Monday and Tuesday, asking them what they thought a tax plan should include. He received proposals for aboli- tion of tax exemptions for agri- cultural and manufacturing equip- ment and for services, and one for a state lottery. Romney said aft- erward he had received one good idea for income and one for cut- ting spending but refused to name them. Needs Support Romney's move to woo Demo- cratic legislators is based on his need for votes at the special ses- sion next month. Some Republi- can legislators have stated they will not vote for an income tax and Romney will need Democratic support for almost any program. The Democratic statement of position included support of leg- islation containing these ele- ments: -"Sufficient yields to finance present and future needs; -"Elimination of features which cause individuals and businesses to pay taxes beyond their ability." :foreign aid bills, said Senate Dem- ocratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana. "I feel our prospects are good for its ratification by the neces- sary two-thirds majority," he told a reporter. Predicts Passage Undersecretary of State W. Averel Harriman, who negotiated the pact in Moscow, also predicted passage. The treaty, framed by Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States, bans nuclear tests in the air, space and under the sea but not under ground. Mansfield commented on Sen- ate ratification plans after the weekly meeting of Democratic Congressional leaders with Presi- dent Kennedy at the White House, and again later when questioned by a reporter. Committee Consideration The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, headed by Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark), will give it "expeditious consideration," Mans- field said. He predicted the hear- ings would last at least two weeks. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illi- nois, the Senate Republican lead- er, told reporters they "certainly wouldn't take more than three weeks." Mansfield said he pre- sumed they would be open to the public. Members of the Senate Armed Services and joint Atomic Energy Committee have been invited to sit in on the sessions, although Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga), the Armed Services chairman, said his group may hold some closed independent hearings to pursue military security aspects. Besides Rusk, tentative plans call for Harriman to testify Mon- day, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, accompanied by Gen. Maxwell D. Ta lor, chair- man of the Atomic Energy Com- mission and other AEC officials, Wednesday. Rails, Unions Officials Meet In Job Dispute WASHINGTON (P) - Railroad and union officials discussed their job-reducing work rules dispute across the bargaining table yester- day for the first time in weeks. A member of the House Com- merce Committee also said he thought the unions and carriers had entered "an area of agree- ment" in seeking a settlement that would avoid a nationwide rail strike threatened for Aug. 29. The joint meetings are to re- sume at 9:30 a.m. today. Representatives of both sides have been meeting separately with Labor Department officials for several weeks exploring possibili- ties for a negotiated agreement rather than have Congress refer the dispute to the Interstate Com- merce Commission for settlement -the Administration's plan. Yesterday the railroads met in the morning with the engineers and firemen's unions. Afterward Asst. Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds called it "useful." Announce 'Blue Ribbon' Staff Names Reveals Members Of Interim Subgroup By ANDREW ORLIN Acting Chairman Edward Cush- man of Gov. George Romney's Citizens' Committee on Higher Education announced the names of both the staff director and the members on the interim committee which will prepare a short term report on education to be present- ed to the legislature this fall. Director of the Upjohn Founda- tion Harold C. Taylor was named staff director for the committee. Harold Smith also of the Upjohn Foundation was named as Tay- lor's assistant. Alvin Bentley, former congress- man from Michigan and head of the education committee at Con- Con wil chair the interim com- mittee. Present Reports The committee hopes to present a report to "blue ribbon" chairman Dan Karn by September, Bentley said. They will be holding an or- ganizational meeting this Satur- day at the Kellogg Center in Lan- sing. Eleven other persons were ap- pointed to the subcommittee: Richard Austin is a Detroit Cer- tified Public Accountant who also was a delegate to Con-Con. Delegates Charles Boyer is a former Re- publican representative from Man- istee He chaired the special joint legislative committee which pro- duced the Russell Report. Joseph Brady is an insurance executive from Howell. Frank Couzens, Jr. is a banking executive from Grosse Pointe. Woodrow Ginsberg heads re- search for the UAW. Max Heavenrich is a department store executive from Saginaw. Robert Herrick of Muskegon is editor of the Muskegon Chronicle. Mrs. Mildred Jeffrey of Detroit directs community relations for the UAW and is a Democratic Na- tional Committeewoman. William Pine of Dearborn is Director of the Ford Motor Co. Fund. Joseph Ross is a Detroit depart- ment store executive. Louis Weil, Jr. is the editor and publisher of the Lansing State Journal. Ex-Officios Chairman Dan Karn and co- chairman Edward Cushman and Irving Bluestone will sit as ex- officios on the subcommittee. Chairman Dan Karn is presently out of the country and is expected to return in the middle of Septem- ber. The appointment of a staff di- rector follows a long hunt for both funds and a capable person to fill the position. Last month the Kel- logg Foundation of Battle Creek gave the "blue ribbon" committee a $50,000 grant to carry on its study. leon," King Henri Christophe. The Haitian government radio in Port au Prince declared the northeast section of the country a war zone and warned Americans there to evacuate. But there were no reports of actual fighting. Cap Haitien, the second largest city in the island republic, was re- ported cut off by the rebel troops commanded by the invading ex- iles' Gen. Leon Cantave, whose aim is to oust Haiti's dictator Presi- dent Francois (Papa Doc) Duval- ier. Contrary to earlier reports, there was no indication that Duvalier had sent forces north from the capital, Port au Prince, in an ef- fort to stop the invaders. Instead, he was believed to be concentrat- ing his forces in Port au Prince for a last stand if the rebels breach the rugged mountains or make a new landing. There were rumors here that the rebels had made another landing on Haiti's northern coast, but these were not confirmed by the rebel forces. The Haitian government radio also claimed that the invaders used the town of Ouanaminthe on the Dominican border in their at- tack Monday and received help from the Dominican government. The claim drew no immediate comment from Dominican Presi- dent Juan Bosch. Reports from travelers said that Ouanaminthe was in Haitian government hands and had not been touched by the rebels. Bosch was scheduled to meet last night with Maj. Gen. Victor Vinas Roman, who had toured the border area. Exiled groups of Haitians here complained bitterly that Bosch had refused to allow rebel forces to organize or train in the Dominican Republic. The rebels were reported to have staged their invasion from an island-unidentified. Paul Verna, the Haitian rebel spokesman, said the ranks of the invading force he placed at 500 had been swelled by regular army deserters since the invasion Mon- day near Fort Liberte. The rebels' hope for success ap- peared to lie in the support they receive from dissident peasants and the army defectors. U.S. Asks EEC To Recall Boost In Poultry Tax WASHINGTON ()-The Euro- pean Common Market was put on notice yesterday that if it doesn't call off sharp boosts of United States poultry products the Unit- ed States will retaliate. United States concessions on Common Market exports will be withdrawn in equal measure, said Christian A. Herter, chief United States trade negotiator. He announced in a statement that public hearings will be held next month to help the govern- ment select from a list of 19 com- modities those on which higher tariffs might be imposed. The ma- jor import item listed is wine. Concessions Balance But a spokesman for Herter's office said if the European Com- mon Market changes its position, the United States would be happy to halt its proceeding and look toward what he called restoration of a balance of concessions. Herter said a gradual increase in tariffs on United States poultry products from 4.9 cents a pound to the present 13.43 cents has "se- verely curtailed" overseas sales, mainly in West Germany. mh lne. 4-n.Am, pr an ,nnl fin HEAD INLAND: Rebels Move To Isolate North Haitian Coast SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (A)-A Haitian rebel in- vasion force, with help from defecting Haitian army soldiers, last night was reported moving southwest from the Cap Haitien area in two columns.

The civil rights demonstration held in Dearborn recently, one of six such demonstrations in the De- troit area, received the "worst re- action by spectators of any of the demonstrations," commented Sel- wa. About 100 Negroes and 100 whites who took part in the free- dom march were heckled and curs- ed vigorously by some Dearborn- ites, Selwa reported. The main reason for Dearborn's being nearly totally segregated is the racism of the people about housing, Selwa said. Dearborn's mayor, Orville Hubbard, is very popular with these people. Having served as Dearborn's mayor for 23 years, and being elected by as much as 4-1 margins over his op- ponents, Hubbard is held up in the minds of libertarians as the main force against integration of Dearborn. Hubbard wields a great deal of influence in Dearborn, Selwa said. George Mills, one-time editor of the Dearborn Independent, lost his paper through economic sanctions resulting from his opposition to Mayor Hubbard. Dearborn is a city of limited boundaries, since it is surrounded by other Detroit communities, Sel- wa noted. Its citizenry is compos- ed to a great extent of middle- aged and elderly people. There is little opportunity for the younger, more liberal Dearbornites who have gone through the Dearborn school system to settle in Dearborn, so most move away, Selwa com- mented. Says Group To Approve Area Site To Establish School By Expansion Of Two-Year Program By The Associated Press EAST LANSING-A special Co- ordinating Council for Michigan Public Higher Education commit- tee will recommend that a third medical school in the state be built at Michigan State University, an MSU dean predicted yesterday. Natural science college Dean Richard Byerrum told a Lansing civic club that the group, headed by former President Herman Wells of Indiana University, will name MSU as the site following a late August, early September meeting in Ann Arbor to finish the report. He said that the group will sug- gest that the four-year school be established between 1970 and 1975, as an expansion of MSU's two- year medical program to begin in 1965. Two Medical Schools The state currently has to medical schools,uat the University and at Wayne State University. Both of these schools and, some legislators have opposed MSU's establishing a medical school. Noting the committee report has not yet been formally completed or released, Regent Eugene B. Power, a member of theco-ordi- nating council, refused to com- ment. "I think it is too early to say anything. This committee is com- posed of knowledgable people from both in and out of state and I assume they will reach a very considered judgment," he de- clared. Major Argument Dean Byrreum attacked the major argument against MSU's not getting a medical school, as- serting that the Lansing area has the population base to support such a facility. "With modern transportation, we don't need the population base previously required. Greater Lans- ing could easily support a four- year medical program," he said. A study of Michigan hospital needs made two years ago by the Bureau of Hospital Economics ruled out this area, pointing out a lack of population or faci ties. It suggested the Grand Rapids area as the site, noting the avail- able population base and hospitals. Two-Year Program The co-ordinating c o u n c i agreedto MSU's getting the two- year medical program last sum- mer, setting up the study com- mittee on a third medical school at that time. The MSU unit was designed to teach the first two basic-course years of medical school. Students would then transfer to the Uni- versity or WSU medical school to complete their clinical studies. While transfefs would not be guaranteed, MSU applicants would have a good chance of getting admitted. Michigan State and co-ordinat- ing council officials denied at the time that the MSU program was a "medical school in disguise." Another factor entering the medical school picture is a deci- sion last spring of the state's os- teopaths to build a hospital in the state, probably in the southwest- ern corner. 'MADAME BUTTERFLY': I latt Cites Importance of Opera Libretto By VAUGHN WALKER "People who want to hear an opera in a foreign language that they don't understand, I suspect of snobbery," said Prof. Josef Blatt in a backstage interview last night during dress rehearsal of Puccini's "Madame Butterfly." Prof. Blatt; who has translated a total of 22 operas into English, expressed his view that the libretto, or dramatic plot, constitutes the most important feature of an operatic work. The orchestral accompani- ment serves primarily to highlight the dramatic action of an opera, said Prof. Blatt. Prof. Blatt is directing "Madame Butterfly" at the Lydia Mendels- sohi Theatre this week. He said that Puccini spent three years writ- ing the libretto and only six months in composing the score. No Great Break He noted that, contrary to much popular opinion, "Madame But- terfly" did not represent a great break with current styles of opera when it appeared in 1914. The realism of the plot, a feature that has World News Roundu By The Associated Press ROME-The Italian government announced yesterday it would sign the nuclear test ban treaty.
