SCouneil Turns 1[ U Reactor Working Harder than Ever .o.s Nnrhn fsedtRevisio Nuclear energy sources at the I fthe spent uranium fue rods from 1 acting director of the Phoenix )owi ins II University are delivering more work than ever before-ranging from irradiating human spare parts, to food, toelectronic com- ponents-and the sources are wearing out faster. Both uranium fuel rods in the two-million-watt Ford Nuclear Re- actor and the cobalt rods of the Memorial Phoenix Project's gam- ma irradiation sources were re- plac~ed last week. Shielded from radiation by ten feet of water in the cobalt source well at the Phoenix Laboratory, a nuclear.engineer dropped 19 "pen- cils" of the radioactive cobalt into its cylindrical housing by means of remote manipulators. He put 11 others into a similar housing for installation in the laboratory's ra- diation facility on campus. Fuel Rods At the same time, a flat-bed truck was loaded with a 12 and one-hald ton lead cask into which the reactor were loaded. Intensely radioactive, the rods were shipped to the Atomic Energy Commis-. sion's Processing Facility at Arco, Idaho. There, the remaining Uranium-235 in the rods and other valuable radioisotopes will be sal- vaged before the fuel rods are buried. The original fuel rods were in- stalled in the Ford Nuclear Re- actor in 1957. They lasted three years, during the latter part of which the reactor operated at a power level of one million watts. Last August the power level was doubled, making the Phoenix re- actor one of the most powerful university reactors in the country. Now, working three shifts per day on a five-day week, the re- actor is burning up its fuel at a rate of approximately two grams per day, according to Prof. William Kerr of the engineering college, Project. "At this rate, the new fuel will last less than a year. Reactor Core The new rods, which do not be- come "hot," i.e. radioactive, until they have been in use, arrived two weeks ago and six already are installed in the reactor core. The{ remaining 19 will be installed at intervals to maintain the reactor's- power level. The Cobalt 60, on the other hand, is constantly radioactive, emitting a beam of gamma rays. Cobalt 60 has a half-life of about five years, which means that half of its intensity is radiated away every five years. Both the reactor and the Cobalt 60 sources have particular bene- fits in irradiating items for ex- periments. The reactor is a heavy source of neutrons which will make See NUCLEAR, Page 3 CiyFi ousing Law Admi.straotr Larcom and Councilman Weeks Y Si A&F t_ -University News Service THE NUCLEAR REACTOR at the Memorial Phoenix Project on North Campus is being used to irradiate such things as human spare parts and electrical components in an active research program that keeps it busy on a three-shift basis every day. AFTER WEEKEND RIOTS Seventy-Three Years of Editorial Frced VOL. LXXIV, No. 20-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1964 FOUR PAGES Roniney Martin Apraise GOP Goldwater Police Restore Calm in Harlem By GENE SCHROEDER Associated Press Staff writer Asks Chance IK T1 (. By STEPHEN BERKOWITZ Special To The Daily . NEW YORK-After two nights marked by some of the most un- controlled rioting in the city's history, the uneasy truce between the residents of Harlem, New York's sprawling Negro section, and the police, has been restored. Throughout the rubble and glass-filled streets, heavily armed members of New York Police Com- missioner Michael Murphy's tac- tical force, police from local pre- cincts and reinforcements from other parts of the city, stand on street corners or walk up and down the main arteries in groups of two or three. During the day, Negro young- sters, all over the area, on vaca- tion since the public schools clos- ed in June, walk or run about in mimicry of their elders. Although the serious social problems which seem to underlie last weekend's roiting remain, the heat and hu- midity have dimished to the point where the situation seems more relaxed. Early reports from city police indicate minor incidents all over Ne roes' Party In Mississipi Plans- Contest JACKSON, Miss. - Mississippi Negroes set events in motion Sun- day that might lead to an embar- rassing dilemma for the Democra- tic National Convention. Leaders of the Mississippi Free- dom Democratic party met here and completed plans for naming a 68-member delegation to the national convention in Atlantic City on Aug. 24. This delegation, which will be fully committed to support the the area. No incidents . of last weekend's magnitude seem to be in evidence however. Elsewhere in the city, approxi- mately 100 pickets demonstrated in front of the United Nations Building, calling for an investiga- tion of police brutality in Harlem by the UN Human Rights Com- mission. The pickets gathered in response to a call reportedly issued by Jesse Gray, leader of the Harlem rent strike. With the high concentration of police in the Harlem area, normal police work, especially enforce- ment of traffic regulations, in other parts of the city seems to have lessened. Police activity in Harlem seems limited to dealing with more serious infractions and disturbances which might create disorder. Some Clean-Up Although city sanitation work- ers have cleaned up some por- tions of the area, a good deal of rubble, broken glass and many police barricades remain. Meanwhile, FBI Director J. Ed- gar Hoover rapped the American justice system for the increasing crime rate, both in Harlem and across the nation as well. .

Move Hits Boarders, Store Space Body Hears Report On Filing Procedures For Police Complaints By JEFFREY GOODMAN City Council last night: -Defeated two proposed amend- ments to the fair housing ordi- nance; -Heard City Administrator Guy C. Larcom outline a formal procedure for processing com- plaints against the police; -Voted to ask that Laroom formulate a policy regarding city sponsorships of various public drives and campaigns. The two fair housing amend- ments would have provided for equal consideration for Negroes wishing to sell or rent space for commercial use and extended anti- discrimination clauses to cover rooming houses in which only two or three rooms are rented. The amendments had the unan- imous approval of the Human Re- lations Commission. Councilman and Mayor pro tem Bent F. Niel- sen objected to them, however, be- cause of current questions whether the ordinance itself is valid. The ordinance was ruled un- constitutional in Municipal Court at the end of May. The decision is currently being appealed in Circuit Court. City Attorney Jacobr Fahrner told Council he believes his appealstats the, first ruling on the law and that it is there- fore still valid. The major argument for the amendments-as expressed by Councilman Le Roy A Cappaerts- "was that Council should not be concerned with the immediate le- gal standing of the law and that it had nothing to lose and much 0 to gain by acting at this time.

"The most substantial innova- tion would be that the police de- partment would be made aware that a formal complaint procedure now exists ad that certain of- ficials have been specifically des- ignated to watch police perform- ance," Larcom told Council. The third Council move, passed unanimously, was a proposal by Councilman Robert Weeks that Larcopi formulate "a simple and reasonable policy" aimed in gen- eral at city sponsorship of public drives and at support of partisan causes in particular. By partisan causes Weeks was referring to re- cent police department distribu- tion of stickers urging people to "Support Your Local Police."

GOVERNOR ROMNEV NOVEMBER Wallace Ai de Hints at Upset In Alabama By The Associated Press He said it should be "free of hate-peddling and fear-spreading and devoted to issues of the day. Many of Romney's closest ad- visors are saying privately they cannot see how the national cam- paign can avoid becoming "a dirty, mud-slinging battle involv- ing extremist groups that wallow in bigotry, slander and racial slurs." Romney reflected the mood of many of the convention delegates when he declared that he had reservations about the 1964 plat- form in the issues of extremism and civil rights. He listened to Goldwater's de- fense of extremism in tight-lipped silence at the closing session of the convention. It was a figurative slap in the face for the governor, who fought hard to get a platform Althouah Gov. George Romney did not flatly disassociate him- self from the natona ,cmpaign of Sen. Barry Goldwaer -Ariz), the governor nevertheless made it clear that he may do so at a later date depending on the con- duct of the presidential campaign. If Romney does decide to go it alone, the move will not be ap- preciated by staunch Goldwater supporters in Michigan or else- where, but some observers believe it may do him more good than harm when the votes are counted in the gubernatorial race next November. This observation is based on the fact that Mhhgnbas a heavy labor vote, the bulk of which is expected to be hostile to Gold- water. Goldwater said he would wel- come a chance to discuss with President Lyndon B. Johnson "this particular issue." A White House spokesman said the President would give serious consideration to any formal pro- posal by Goldwater for such a meeting. He voted against the measure in the Senate on the grounds that parts of it are unconstitutional. In final arguments on the civil rights test case, government law- yers and attorneys for three Ne- gross argued the law is constitu- tional and that an Atlanta res- taurant, operated by segregation- ist Lester Maddox, comes under the law. Attorneys for Maddox contend- ed the statute was illegal and that, in any event, the restaurant was excluded.
