PARIS 0 - The United States and North Vietnam an-
nounced yesterday the breakthrough on the debate over the
conference table, eight months after they first met in Paris;
to begin talks on ways to get peace negotiations going.
p In that time, about 8,000 Americans have been killed in
South Vietnam.
With a long procedural deadlo'ck broken, the Vietnam
peace ;talks will resume tomorrow, two days before President
Johnson leaves office.
Ambassador W. Averell Harriman, who retires as head of
the U.S. delegation Sunday, said the solution was a victory
for neither side - the United States and South Vietnam on
one side and North Vietnam and the Viet Cong's National
'-i Liberation Front on the other.
The delegations will sit down at
an unmarked round table, as
C North Vietnam demanded. But at
each side will be a rectangular
table for secretaries, satisfying
' South Vietnam's demands for the
SG C pl n appearance of a two-sided con-
ference.
"It was not a compromise,"
Harriman declared, "But just a
decision that all could agree to,
satisfactory to all the participants

Outgoing Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare
Wilbur Cohen will become the new dean of the education
school effective June 30, high administration sources con-
firmed yesterday.
The Regents are expected to approve the appointment
at their meeting today.
Cohen was unavailable for comment last night.
Cohen was professor of public welfare administration in
the University's social work school from 1956-61.
The Daily reported Sunday that Cohen had been offered
a number of positions including dean of the education school,
where he will replace retiring ~~~~~
Dean Willard C. Olson.
Cohen reportedly placed twocis c eeicliants

It is unclear what concessions
the Regents actually made to per-

not the first choice of the student-
faculty committee which has been
searching for a new dean since
last spring.
The search committee submit-

is not known whether Cohen's

By JIM NEUBACHER
Representatives of at least two
of the five major Ann Arbor book-
stores have begun planning for
strategy meeting concerning their
relationship with the Student
Book Service (SBS), The Daily
learned last night.
The meeting is apparently a
response to a petition drive begun
by prgfessors and instructors in
the economics department.
Signers of the petition, who now
number more than twenty, have
pledged to order texts only from
SBS until it is admitted to the
Textbook Reporting Service.
Currently the service is used
by Follett's, Wahr's, Ulrich's,
Slater's and Overbeck's. SBS man-
ager Ned Shure claims he has
been excluded from the group.
In addition, The Daily learned
yesterday the Textbook Reporting
Service is managed and maintain-
ed by the five stores through Don-
ald Brown, an employe of Ul-
rich's.
Evidence of this relationship
includes:
-a bulk-rate, first class, busi-
ness reply mailing permit issued
by the Ann Arbor Post Office to
the Textbook Reporting Service
in the name of "D. Brown," and
Ulrich's Bookstore. The permit,
number 1094, was issued in 1960
and has been maintained con-
tinuously ever since, according to
postal authorities.
-a copy of the forms used by
the Textbook Reporting Service
listing an Ann Arbor Post Office
box, as the return address, and
listing the beneficiaries of the
service as five previously listed
bookstores.
Fred Ulrich, owner of Ulrich's
Bookstore, told The Daily Wednes-
day the service was independent.
"I don't know any more about
it than the other people involved,"-
he had said. "The bookstores
themselves are not in c'harge of
However, Ulrich, late Wednes-
day night modified his position,
and said then he was uncertain
about the organizational status of
the service.

By LESLIE WAYNE
A special Senate-House com-
mittee on education has recon-
mended that non-public schools
should receive state funds for
"all secular educational serv-
ices."
Although specific legislation
has not been proposed, the re-
commendation is expected to
serve as the basis of a Paro-
m* chiadBill to be introduced next
month by committee member
Rep. Robert Traxler, (D-Bay
City).
"Should this proposal be
brought before the Legislature,
I expect it will pass both the
House and the Senate, but I
cannot predict the exact form
it will take," said Rep. Wil-
liam Ryan (D-Detroit). House
speaker and an early proponent
of Parochiaid.
Under terms of the proposal,
state funds would be paid to
constitutional
unfeasible.
and financially
"With the critical financial
situation in our public schools,
we should be concerned more
with public school refinancing
than in expending additional
funds," said Mrs. HarrietnPhil-
lips, chairman of Citizens to
Aid Public Education (CAPE).
Committee member Sen. Cole-
man Young (D-Detroit) s a i d
"There is no question we don't
have any money to support this
program. Right now, we need a
massive amount just to keep the
public schools open."
The committee's recom-
mendation did not propose any
specific taxation scheme. How-
ever, Traxler and Sen. An-
thony Stamm (R-Kalamazoo),
who headed the special com-
mittee, said the primary source
of funds may be an anticipated
demies would probably be ex-
cluded under the regulation, he
said.
Proponents of the measure say
unless it is passed, many non-
public schools will be forced to
close their doors and put their
students into state-supported
schools.
Supporters and opponents al-
so differ over the interpretation
of the Constitutional guarantees
of a state supported education
system and against appropria-
tions for religion.
"The use of public funds for
any purpose in non-public
schools is entirely unconstitu-
tional," Mrs. Phillips said. "And
we intend to let the governor
and our representatives know
how we feel on the issue."
