Wilkins Foresee Summ--ner of Racial Discontent, Strife CHICAGO (P)-Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, yesterday fore- cast a summer of Negro discontent and public demonstration. Wilkins, at the opening of the 54th annual NAACP convention, declined to predict what course the Negro battle for civil rights might take. Wilkins said the shape and tempo of public protests would pro- - ceed according to local conditions Of 'Insults' To Negroes Measure To Cover Businesses Serving Interstate Commerce WASHINGTON ()-The Ken- nedy Administration zeroed in on a key section of its civil rights program today with an urgent call for passage of a bill outlawing racial discrimination in virtually all business places. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy cited recent racial demonstrations in various Southern cities as "vivid evidence" that enactment of a public accommodations law is im- perative to "remove a daily insult to Negroes." "White people of whatever kind -even prostitutes, narcotics push- ers, Communists or bank robbers," he said, "are welcome at establish- ments which will not admit certain of our federal judges, ambassadors and countless members of our Armed Forces." Kennedy said that the measure as drafted, would cover all business places that substantially affect interstate commerce. The attorney general said the bill, which has brought the threat of a filibuster from Southern members, is not intended to apply to the smallest establishments where customers have a sort of "social relationship." He mention- ed a rooming house with two or three boarders as an example. Kennedy also said he does not think the bill would apply to bowl- ing alleys or pool halls, or to laun- dries and dry cleaning establish- ments except in unusual cases. He said that it would not apply to physicians, lawyers or others providing professional service. As to whether a barbershop would be covered, Kennedy said he thinks this will depend on whether the shop serves interstate travel- ers to a substantial degree. He ex- pressed belief that barbershops and beauty shops in hotels and in bus and train terminals would be subject to the act. File Affidavit On Sociali1sts For Subversion BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (M - A reworded affidavit charging sub- versive activities was filed against three Indiana University Social- ists yesterday, and Prosecutor Thomas Hoadley said he would re- submit the case to a grand jury. An indictment returned May 1 was dismissed by Circuit Judge Nat U. Hill, who said wording was unclear. Charged are Ralph Levitt, 26, and James E. Bingham, 25, both of Indianapolis, and Thomas Mor- gan, 22, Terre Haute. Hoadley's new affidavit changed the disputed word "or" to "and" in a section of the original in- dictment which charged the trio with assembling "for the purpose of advocating or teaching the doc- trine that the government of the United States or the State of Indiana should be overthrown by force. .." Conference Refutes Bill The Ann Arbor - Washtenaw Conference on Religion and Race 7 today issued a 10-point answer to the "property owners' bill of i rights" of the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors. The conference is an interfaith, interracial fellowship acting for a united approach to the prob- lems of racial injustice. Its steer- ing committee prepared the state- ment to be presented to City r Council last night and the Human Relations Commission later. The 10-point statement was meant to refute each of the 10 points of the Real Estate Board. The conference noted that the "right to enjoy his own property according to his own dictates" has never existed, and property rights have always been limited by the rights of the community and of the individual. Further, it stated, legislation assuming the equal right of all to acquire and enjoy' property does not give any special privilege. 'Congeniality' "Congeniality does not take precedence over human dignity," the conference said, in reference to the Board of Realtors' -Aate- ment of "the right to maintain what are congenial surroundings by tenants." The Board of Realtors issued th, statement on June 20 com- menting that a fair housing ordi- nance would "tend to defeat the rights of property owners and confound a situation that is truly a moral problem." The conference statement em- phasized that "for the Jew and Christian, supposed, or e v e n actual, economic loss or gain must not be the criterion for morality." Also included in the conference statement was the tenet that "property is conceived of as a f trust from God, not the undisput- ed possession of an individual. Therefore Jews and Christians have the rensnonsibility not to "and the reaction of public offi- cials. No Violence "We don't want violence. I won't discuss violence . . . if it comes we will all have to deal with it." Wilkins defended sit-ins and street demonstrations as a "highly useful partner" to the NAACP's long legal battle for equality. He said he believes a planned Negro march on Washington will not jeopardize President John F. Ken- nedy's civil rights proposals. The NAACP's series of marches against housing discrimination in Detroit suburbs continued last Sat- urday with a Grosse Poirtt march. Gov. George Romney unexpect- edly participated, leading the dem- onstration and giving a short civil rights talk. In Washington, the AFL-CIO United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners directed its local un- ions to eliminate racial segrega- tion and discrimination in their membership. A federal appeals court in Rich- mond barred Powhatan County, Va., school officials from closing schools to avoid racial integration. But the Fourth United States Court of Appeals exempted the county-hoard of supervisors - the agency appropriating school mon- ey. The court seemed to hint the supervisors might be brought in if funds were withheld and the schools shut. Close Schools It was the board of supervisors that closed public schools in Prince Edward County in 1959 by with- holding funds. The Powhatan decision was one of three cases ruled on by federal courts yesterday' which struck at the state's segregation laws. In Alexandria, a special three- judge court said Virginia's segre- gated seating laws are unconsti- tutional. And the Fourth Circuit Court,. ruling in Richmond, knocked down grade-a-year desegregation and the racial minority transfer pro- vision in a Lynchburg school de- segregation plan. Kentucky Unit SOUVANNA PHOUMA -.-,-treaty collapse LAOS: Talks Hit Dead lock LONDON (,)-Britain and the Soviet Union reached a deadlock yesterday in their efforts to bol- ster the shaky peace in Laos. A foreign office statement said the Russians tried to hold the United States and rightist forces in Laos responsible for the trou- ble in the southeast Asian coun- try. Britain blamed the pro-Commu- nist Pathet Lao, who have sup- port from Red China and Commu- nist North Viet Nam, for upset- ting the peace established in Laos by the Geneva Conference last year. Co-Chairmen Britain and the Soviet Union are co-chairmen of the 14-nation conference which shaped Laos' neutrality and its rightist-leftist- neutralist coalition government headed by neutralist Premier Souvanna Phouma. Neutralist forces in the Laotian Plaine des Jarres fell under at- tack last April by. the Pathet Lao under the leadership of Deputy Premier Prince Souphanouvong. The rightist forces of Deputy Pre- mier Gen. Phoumi Nosavan were not involved directly in the fight- ing. Before a cease-fire was declared, the Pathet Lao seized all but a small portion of the crucial Plaine des Jarres. Sporadic fighting has erupted since. Continuing Efforts State Department press officer Robert McCloskey said that Brit- ain, as co-chairman with the So- viet Union of the 14-nation Geneva Conference on Laos, had released British correspondence with the Soviets "to demonstrate their con- tinuing efforts to resolve the Laos situation. McCloskey said the State De- partment has not seen the official text of the correspondence releas- ed by the British "but we are un- aware of any suggestion that the Geneva conference be reconvened. "In our view such a move would be unnecessary," he said, "since the machinery for implementation for the Geneva accords already exists." The machinery includes joint actions by Britain and the Soviet Union as co-chairmen of the con- ference, to see that peace is main- tained in Laos. to end the current confusion and duplication: 1) Creating an interagency council in the executive branch to, co-ordinate federal programs; 2) Establishing a joint Senate- House committee to keep Congress informed of federal action; and 3)_ Combining the Office of Education a n d t h e National Science Foundation, two agencies primarily concerned with educa- tion. Supporting Agencies Illustrating her contention that federal education agencies overlap, Mrs. Green listed 11 agencies that support medical sciences research. She asserted that government- supported research was outstrip- pingthe government's ability to record the knowledge gained to such an extent that there "may be duplication and waste." This duplication of effort, she claimed, had turned negotiations between governmental agencies and universities into "shopping expeditions. There is no uniform- ity, even within a single agency, in regard to administrative details, reporting on technical accomplish- ments and the financial status of projects," Mrs. Green declared. Payments She also charged that there was no uniform policy on payments to universities for the education of students. Student aid programs sponsored by such agencies as the Atomic Energy Commission and the Na- tional Institutes of Health "close- ly approximated the .actual cost" of education, including adminis- trative overhead, she said. But others, such as the depart- ment of defense and the vocational rehabilitation office "make no al- lowance aside from tuition and fees" and may require subsidy by the institutions themselves. Only Action Mrs. Green's report is only re- cent Congressional action in fed- eral aid to education field. The last concrete action was House passage in late May of a federal aid to medical and dental school bills. Previously, House committees split up President. John F. Ken- nedy's omnibus education bill that would aid schools from kindergar- ten to graduate. The Hou'se Demo- cratic leadership hoped to pass some of the less controversial items that way. However, Congressional leaders see the education bill stalled in the backlog of legislation caused by the impending civil rights Con- gressional fight. With the medical school aid bill only through the. House and all other bills in com- mittee, there seems little chance for action before civil rights clogs the legislative machinery. (Editor's Note: This- is the third of a six-part series on planning Ann Arbor's future.) By PHILIP SUTIN Co-Editor Ann Arbor is proud of its scenic beauty and is planning to preserve and extend it. "The very name of the city is suggestive of beauty. Partly through the well-planned devel- opment which the city has ex- perienced and partly through the natural tendency to pre- serve the beauty of the area, the name retains much of its ap- propriateness today," the 1962 Parks and Open Space Plan declares. The plan, adopted last year by City Council seeks to pro- mote the best use for the city's parks and open space for the next 20 years and coordinate the city's efforts with the school board, the county, the Huron - Clinton Metropolitan Authority and the state high- way department. Park Planning It also seeks to keep parks and open space as an integral part of other city planning. The report mentions three considerations beyond aesthet- ics for its program: 1) Protective. Green areas protect the city against smoke and winds and prevent erosion, pollution and flooding; 2) Organizational. Open space and parks serve as civic focal points and give coherence to the city. The inclusion of open land also keeps land available for future needs; and 3) Recreational. Parks serve both as restful, scenic spots and as playfields for sports and games. City Holdings Inventorying current city holdings, the plan finds that the city owns 2,214.5 acres of parks and open space. This land The changes in the office of student affairs at Eastern Mich- igan and Michigan State Univer- sity became effective yesterday. Both schools have undergone extensive re-organization in their offices of student affairs culmin- ating in decisions to consolidate the position of men and women's dean into one office. COLLEGE TOWN TO UNIVERSITY CITY: Parks, Space Plan To Preserve Greenery These changes follow in the wake of similar changes under- gone- at the University last sum- mer. At that time the dean of men and women's office was dropped and a director of housing was created to take care of the hous- ing problems of both sexes. William C. Lawrence, vice pres- ident for student affairs at EMU, includes three play areas, to- talling 2.8 acres: 32 play- grounds, 166.3racres; seven neighborhood parks, 51.5 acres; one major playfield, 40 acres; five major parks, 128.9 acres; three special use facilities, 712 acres and open space, 1,113 acres (638 under water). The plan proposes that the city purchase 105 acres for new major parks and develop anoth- er 123 acres currently in its possession. Gallup and Buhr parks should be developed further while land near Barton Pond should also be transformed into a park. Purchase Lake The report recommends that the city purchase land near Twin Sisters Lake, the Leslie property near Traver Rd. and school board land near Ann Ar- bor High School for park de- velopment. The city has since bought the Leslie property for use as a park and municipal golf course. Currently, the report finds, the city's single major playfield; Veterans' P a r k, adequately serves the city, but by 1980 a second field will be needed for Ann Arbor's organized recrea- tional activities. It should be built at the next junior or senior, high school. A third one, needed after 1980, should also be located on sim- ilar facilities. The plan notes that Ann Ar- bor has an adequate number of playgrounds, but that they are spaced to fully meet city needs. Playgrounds should be develop- ed In the Pilgrim Lansdowne, Huron Highlands and North Campus Heights subdivisions. An additional 26 acres should be acquired for playgrounds. Play Areas The city has three play areas for pre-school children, but.the report does not recommend any See CITY, Page 3 said discussions of changes in EMU's student affairs office had taken place as early as 1960 at which time that division compiled information and discussed the possibility of setting up the posi- tion of dean of students to replace the separate offices at that time taking care of men's and women's housing. The plans did not go beyond the discussion stage until last summer when after the University had adopted its new plan, the state Board of Education sent an in- quiry to Eastern, Central, West- ern and North Michigan asking them to study the possibility of similar alterations in their student affairs departments. Sincethe plan was not unfa- Miliar at EMU Lawrence said a concensus was reached readily and EMU recommended that thea Board adopt such a plan. Won't Affect Personnel Lawrence said the consolidation of the two offices would not affect the staff personnel. "It possesses the advantage of having a single administrator responsible for the total functions with all other per- sonnel within the program work- ing directly with the students," he said. At MSU Dean of Students John A. Fuzak said the re-organization at that school had come about not because of any particular inade- quacy in the office but was rather an attempt to accommodate to the changing university scene. Asked whether MSU had pattern- ed its changes after those of the University Fuzak said he' did not believe so. "Our past offices of dean of men and dean of women wer quite different from those at th University because there was no question of the offices being en- tities in themselves," he 'said. He said the vice-president for st- dent affairs had very clearly possessed the final authority on any decisions either office made, Ask Change in..,:Congress Leading spokesmen for a reorga- nization study of Congress told a Senate Rules subcommittee it should act before Congress suffers "total eclipse," the Washington Post reported last week. There is some doubt that the Rules subcommittee will even hold further hearings on the reorgani- zation proposals, even though it has been urged to act by many senators, the Post said. Sen. Clifford P. Case (R-NJ) said that there is a growing feel- ing that Congress is so enmeshed in procedures that "executive and judicial branches of the govern- ment have had to take over pri- mary responsibility for conduct of the nation's business." Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa), co-sponsor with Case of the two top proposals of reorganization, said the country is beginning to look at the Senate as blowhards such as those satirized by car- toonist Lichty's "Sen. Snort." Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R- NY) told the subcommittee that Congress's role has been declining and that "Congress itself must bear the blame for its declining role." Sen. A. S. Monroney (D-Alaska) said that Congress had a tendency to deal with "extraneous" mat- ters. "Today, legislation occupies only a minor part of our time. Legislation is too important for that." Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R- Ky) said he may present a reso- lution prohibiting senators from taking written speeches to the floor. He said it would shorten speeches and enliven debate. LaF ave Notes DIT Dismissal Prof. Lawrence - LaFave, chair. man of the psychology depart- ment at Detroit Institute of Tech- nology, charged Friday he was dis- missed as chairman for his ac- tivities in a recent strike by in- structors at DIT. Prof. LaFave said DIT president Dewey F. Barich told him he had been fired for "using profanity in class and embarrassing and haras- sing" TT administrators.

H. Ferry, Vice-President of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institu- tions, said'"yesterday. He addressed a meeting of the Association for Higher Education during the National Education convention. He attacked the attitude that "a college education should be available for everyone-providing they show a minimum of aptitude. We believe college will make life easier for those getting through it and measure a diploma for its monetary worth, and since money and success are synonimous, suc- cess seems to depend on at least two years of college." Ferry said t h a t "measured against the real needs of the country the American college is a bad investment. Judged by its out- put of practical wisdom and in- dependent criticism, the college is a resounding flop." But, he said, colleges and uni- versities have failed to live up to their responsibilities, "and now that the cataclysm is upon us we don't know what to think about it." In other action, the NEA voted to establish an emergency loan fund for Utah teachers who have refused to return to the classroom next fall.
