LXXIV, No. 13-s ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1964 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES CHARGED WITH BRINKMANSHIP Set To Risk War: McNamara AI WASHINGTON (T) - Despitev sharp Senate charges of "brink- manship," Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara backed two top military leaders who said the United States is prepared to risk war with Red China to preserve South Viet Nam's independence. McNamara told the Senate for- eign relations committee at a clos- ed session June 23 that the U.S. effort to save South Viet Nam "carries the risk of escalating to military actions outside the bor- der of South Viet Nam." In his testimony, released yes- terday, McNamara defended state- ments made in separate interviews by Adm. Harry D. Felt, outgoing commander in chief of U.S.'forces in the Pacific, and Gen. Paul D. Harkins, retiring commander of the American advisory and train- ing mission to South Viet Nam. Sharply Questioned McNamara was questioned sharply about the interviews by both Democrats and Republicans. Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R- i Iowa) ranking minority member of the committee, demanded to know "who speaks for American policy?" "They say something this com- mittee has not been told is official American policy," Hickenlooper said. "Isn't that a form of brinkman- ship that they are playing?" asked chairman J. W. Fulbright (D- Ark). "They don't wish to say that we won't fight under any circum- stances and they don't want the President to pledge this." Morse Shocked Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), who has long been a critic of U.S. policy in South Viet Nam, told Mc- Namara: "I think it is a shocking thing, the military being allowed to be unleashed in the matter of for- eign policy." "If we get into a war-and I think we are going to-when we get into that war I will be behind it," Morse said. "But I have a duty as. a Senator to do everything I can to stop my country from get- ting into a war. I think we are headed straight for one.' Earlier, he had told the Senate that "war clouds are becoming more black and ugly over South- east Asia." He said the United States should stop "acting like an aggressor" and take the whole Viet Nam issue to the United Nations. Seeks Posture McNamara told the committee that the United States is seeking to develop "a sufficiently strong military posture to deter our op- ponents from either political or military aggression, and through that deterrence to avoid a break- down of the peace." McNamara said no responsible military or civilian official in the defense department has spoken on a foreign policy matter without specific approval from the highest ranks of the U.S. government. But he stopped short of saying that President Lyndon B. Johnson had authorized Felt or Harwkins to speak out on risking war with Communist China. China Bid For India Deate LONDON (P)-Two long-fueding neighbors, Pakistan and India, clashed at the British Common- wealth summit talks yesterday over whether Red China can and wants to invade the Indian sub- continent. President Ayub Khan, a field marshal who has kept Pakistan linked militarily with the West, told fellow leaders this idea is a bogey that must be destroyed. "No major invasion of India (across the Himalayan mountains) is possible," he said. Smaller Asian countries may turn to Peking for protection if the West goes on building up India's military power, he warned. But Indian Finance Minister T. T. Krishnamachari challenged Ayub's claim that the Himalayas are impregnable. "Our experience has been very different and no democratic gov- ernment in India can ignore the threat from China," he said. "We must build up our defenses be- cause of our experience with China." Advance elements of Chinese invading forces in autumn 1962 breached the Himalayan passes and reached the Assam plain before stopping voluntarily. Behind the differences between leaders of the Commonwealth's two giant member-nations lies their nearly 17-year-old quarrel over the future of Kashmir, the mountain-topstate both claim. Ayub and Krishnamachari each professed readiness of their gov- ernments to try once again to settle that dispute. But both stood fast on their old positions that have defied all attempts at recon- ciliation. "Pakistan will not abandon the right of Kashmiris to selfdeter- mination," Ayub was quoted by aides as saying in emphatic terms. Like Pakistan, Kashmir has a Moslem population majority. The two men have arranged to dine together July 15 in what may be a start of a new bid to bury the hatchet. -Daily-David Lambert THESE ARE SEVERAL MEMBERS of the Ann Arbor CORE chapter which last night approved the Citizens' Committee plan for Jones School.

SCRANTON HANGS ON Goldwater Proclaims Triple Victory Ann Arbor CORE Agrees With Jones School Plan Negroes File Suit Testing Rights Bill 1 S1 ATLANTA (A) - Three Negroes filed suit against a segregated At- lanta restaurant yesterday in whatl they described as the nation's first major test of compliance under the new civil rights law. The restaurant owner, Lester Maddox, who twice has turned Negroes away from his eating es- tablishment, was ordered to show cause why an injunction should not be granted to make him com- ply with the law.; U.S. District Judge Frank A. Hooper set July 17 as the date for a hearing on the suit which the Negroes said was a class action seeking to open the restaurant to other Negroes. Threatened In their petition, the Negroes said Maddox threatened them with+ a pistol while a white crowd brandishing ax handles looked on. This was the first test of com- pliance with the public accommo- dations sections of the new federal; law although an Atlanta motel owner filed the first court suit attacking the constitutionality of the week-old statute Monday. Elsewhere, a fact-finding com- mittee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People predicted that opposition to the civil rights law would bring widespread bloodshed of Negroes in Mississippi. John F. Davis, a spokesman for the nine-member group which has just completed a five-day tour of Mississippi, said conditions, as far as Negroes are concerned, "ap- proach a police state." Blames FBI A congressman-who is a for- mer Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion agent-agreed with this an- alysis in the House. He blamed the FBI. "There is a very deep distrust of the FBI among students in the ADVOCATORS of segregated education, former Gov. Ross Barnett (upper) and George Wallace. Efforts to resist inte- gration 'will now cost millions of dollars. LJJ Forms Segregation Regulations By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM President Lyndon B. Johnson is preparing enforcement regulations which c o u ld cost segregated schools throughout the country more than $2.5 billion in federal funds. The regulations will define the authority of Office of Education officials to cut off funds under Title VI of the enacted Civil Rights Bill. This title authorizes federal agencies to withhold funds from any program in which discrimina- tion is found. New Estimate The $2.5 billion estimate has been set by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as the sum of federal support to ele- mentary, secondary and higher education institutions. The amount going to discriminatory schools has not been estimated. The University, a recipient of more than $40 million in federal funds, is not expected to come under investigation. A spokesman for Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel said yesterday that the President is "particularly anxious to clamp down on the nation's segregated school systems." The White House is authorized by the bill "to establish guidelines for discrimination," the spokes- man said. "Johnson has given every indi- cation that these guidelines will place numerous higher institutions and public school systems in the category of being segregated," the spokesman said. He was referring mainly to Southern schools. Mississippi alone has no inte- grated.school in its entire public system. "It would stand to lose millions upon millions of dollars"~ when the Office of Education clamps down, the spokesman ob- served. Even a Department Under the rights law, even a special project or department within an institution could be de- prived of federal funds. This means a laboratory which dis- criminates against Negroes might lose any federal grant it currently receives. Although the determination of what constitutes discrimination will be difficult, the Office of Edu- cation "will have arbitrary powers within the President's guidelines to make that determination," the spokesman said. If the Commissioner of Educa- tion-director of the office-con- cludes that an institution is guilty of discrimination, he has the ab- .n,+a p m nu p t cl o nfffplp U.S.Opposes Thant Plan To Convene Geneva Parley WASHINGTON {P)-The United States turned a cold shoulder yesterday to United Nations Secretary General U Thant's suggestion that a 14-nation conference be reconvened to seek a peaceful settle- ment of the Communist guerrilla warfare in South Viet Nam. Behind the U.S. opposition is the conviction of administration leaders that such a conference would only open the door to a renewed - effort to neutralize South Viet SAN FRANCISCO ()P) - Sen. Barry Goldwater flashed across the continent yesterday and delivered a triple promise to capture the "Republican presidential nomina- tion, defeat President Lyndon B. Johnson and preserve freedom everywhere. "Win we will!" Goldwater as- sured a roaring throng of well wishers who swarmed the airport to welcome him to the Republican party's national convention city. Backed by a massive array of .voters, Goldwater already is well on the way to making good on the first part of the pledge-to win the presidential nomination. Pros- pects of his making it on the first ballot brightened. Ike Neutral Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower insisted he would re- main neutral in the fight for the Republican presidential nomina- tion. At a terse trainside news con- ference before leaving for the GOP convention in San Francisco, Eis- enhower said only: "I am showing no partiality to anyone. I've been completely con- sistent in this and I have double- crossed no one." But Gov. William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania, predicting victory as all politicians do, kept on fight- ing a dogged uphill battle against the Arizona senator. Scranton Pounds Scranton pounded a w a y at Goldwater at hearings on the party platform and in sessions with newsmen. At the hearings he slashed simultaneously at the sen- ator, at extremist groups and at the John Birch Society. He refer- red to the society disdainfully as "this weird presence in America." Goldwater had declined to repudi- ate the organization. Scranton had preceded Gold- watter to San Francisco by a day. Last night the rivals were living one floor apart in headquarters at the Mark Hopkins Hotel on Nob Hill. An estimated 4008 , partisans waited for Goldwater to come into the airport from Washington yes- terday. Banners and signs of every description all added up to what the fans were chanting wildly: "We want Barry." Unity Plea The senator came to town with an arrival statement all ready-a statement that blended together more predictions of a defeat for Johnson and a bid for Republican unity in the coming political wars against the Democrats. He didn't read the statement, though. Instead he climbed onto an airplane boarding ramp, waited for the cheers to subside and told his audience: "I am returning to San Fran- cisco today to win next week the Protestors Eye Future Moves The North Campus Parking Pro- testors have scheduled a meeting for today to determine the course of their actions in the next few days. "We are going to discuss vig- orously seeking negotiations in light of the lack of response from the administration," one protestor commented. The protestors sent a letter Wednesday to Vice President for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont, asking for a moratorium on the new North Campus park- ing regulations which went into effect this month. No reply has been received. The protestors parked about 150 cars on the lawn next to the Phoe- nix Project yesterday, rounding out a full week of 'park-in' protests. Few cars are parked in the paid places on North Campus. 'Will Accept Committee Suggestion Denounces Effects Of Segregation In City Education By ROBERT HIPPLER The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality last n i g h t expressed "substantial agreement" with a citizen's group report on racial imbalance. It called for the closing down of Jones Elementary School, 401 N. Division St. The committee was appointed by the Ann Arbor Board of Edu cation for 'the study of racial imbalance in the city's public schools." CORE's agreement with the recommendation is expected to aid implementation of the committee's report-if the Board of Education agrees with the proposals. The school board has yet to discuss them. Made Public The committee's report, which was made public June 11, asks: -That Jones public elementary school be closed and its 200 stu- dents be bussed daily to other pub- lic schools in Ann Arbor. Jones school has been called by many, including CORE, the poorest edu- cational unit in the city of Ann Arbor. Achievement ratings and grades for Jones school students are consistently below. those of students in other Ann Arbor pub- lic schools. CORE has attributed this situation at least in part to he facto segregation. The propor- tion of Negro to white students in the school is approximately three to one. The CORE statement noted that "the committee report persuasively demonstrated the lowered aca- demic motivation and achieve- ment that accompanies de facto segregation." -That a person be employed full-time to study the situation of racial proportions in the Ann Ar- bor public school system. CORE agreed with this suggestion and noted that "consideration should be given to additional personnel that may be required." contest for the nomination of my party. I come to you today to promise you that I will preserve and extend freedom all over this country and all over this world. "We're going to win next week the chances are excellent that we will win on the first ballot. But win we will !" Then, he said, Republicans will march forward together to defeat L y n d o n Banies Johnson in November. Meanwhile, Scranton's backers lost badly in their first test of strength in the platform commit- tee, failing by a margin of more than 5-1 to get the committee to revise its platform-drafting rules to permit more debate. Senator Hugh Scott (R-Penn), field general for Scranton, said the setback leaves no question that there will be dissent from the platform version to be drafted this weekend by a 13-man executive committee. This could mean that Scran- ton's small but vocal following will precipitate a floor blattle in the Republican convention next week in their effort to write a more lib- eral party policy than the front- running Goldwater can accept. Scranton scored high on the applause meter, but low on the vote chart on the first day of his on-the-scene struggle to block Goldwater. In fact, some of Scranton's few remaining hopes of strength - in states like Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania - were r e p o r t e d crumbling before the Goldwater tide.

In addition, U.S. officials looked askance at the Thant suggestion when the Communist Viet Cong have refused to permit a UN in- spection team to enter Commun- ist-held areas on the borders of Viet Nam and Cambodia. State Department Press Officer Richard I. Phillips spelled out the long-standing U.S. opposition to another Geneva conference on Viet Nam. "The problem is not the ab- sence of a political settlement or the need for a new Geneva con- ference, but rather that Commun- ist regimes in Hanoi and Peking, which were parties to the (1954 and 1962) Geneva agreements, have continuously violated them."
