LXXII, No. 22-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1962 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Kennedy Views Test-Ban Terms Administration Aides To Explore Modification of U.S. Nuclear Policy WASHINGTON P)-President John F. Kennedy will meet with top advisers Friday to consider whether to relax United States terms for an atomic weapons test-ban treaty with Russia. Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said yesterday about 10 to 12 key advisers, including defense and diplomatic officials, will attend the Friday gathering. He described the meeting as one of a series of inside-the-government discussions on how the United States position on a test-ban treaty might be modified. A prior Cabinet-level meeting of agency chiefs concerned with the nuclear-test situation is scheduled for today. Salinger said he Seldes Cites TV's Worth In America By MICHAEL SATTINGER People whose only contact with the arts is through the mass media such as television cannot be ex- cluded from their source, Prof. Gilbert Seldes, of the communica- tions school at the University of Pennsylvania, said yesterday in his American youth series lecture on the popular arts. Prof. Seldes, author of "The Seven Lively Arts," said that to- day's "is the first generation that can live because everything has come so naturally to them." This generation is neither afraid of the popular arts nor snobbish about them. Since television is no longer considered a novelty, chil- dren have not been brought up to despise what is popular, he said. TV Worry Prof. Seldes said that the worry shown by people over the effect of television on this generation is analogous to the worry over the effect of second-rate movies on the past generation. However, to- day there is a new kind of person who chooses between the popular arts. He asked what the present gen- eration will do to determine the direction of the arts. It is possible to do nothing, he said. The gen- 4 eration could enjoy portions of entertainment offered, i g n o r e others, and allow the arts to evolve on their own. Beyond Pleasure "It is no longer possible to take a pure pleasure in many of the popular arts," he said. "We have begun to worry about the effects on us. If crime and violence are a bad influence, we can no longer take pure aesthetic pleasure." Prof. Seldes said that the radio was the great revolutionary in- strument. For the first time in history, a large amount of pleas- ure was accessible to all the people, all the time. Radio Enters "In the past, entertainment was a sometime thing. It was rare," he said. The radio came into the housedand became intimately con- nected with daily life. Prof. Seldes pointed out that only a limited number of televi- sion and radio stations can oper- ate, and so must be run in the "public interest." It would be most destructive to present only high-brow entertain- ment. People's taste will not be improved by a quick change in quality, he said. Marin Pushes For Plebiscite hIPuerto Rico SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico RP) - Gov. Luis Munoz Marin told Puer- to Ricans last night he will take first steps within one week for a plebiscite on the island's future. Munoz addressed a constitution day celebration after President John F. Kennedy agreed in a let- ter to the governor's viewpoint that Puerto Rico should vote for closer commonwealth ties with the Unit- ed States, for statehood or for independence. Leaders of opposition parties were divided in their reaction to the proposal. Munoz Marin's popular Demo- cratic Party wants to make Puer- to Rico's commonwealth status permanent, but in closer associa- tion with the United States. Puerto Rico's Republican Par- did not know whether a final decision would be reached by the end of this week. The White House announcement was accompanied by these develop- ments 1) United States disarmament chief Wiliam C. Foster discussed atomic test-ban safeguards at a closed session of the Senate dis- armament subcommittee. T h e chairman, Sen. Hubert H. Hum- phrey (D-Minn) reported Foster said the United States has not yet decided whether to modify the safeguard proposals and still be- lieves on-the-spot inspections are needed to prevent cheating. 2) Foreign Secretary Lord Home told the British Parliament that the United States and Britain may now propose easier terms for a nuclear test-ban accord, but said on-site inspections will still be needed. British officials forecast a revised United States-British plan would be presented to the Geneva disarmament conference within a fortnight. 3) The United States govern- ment kept a secrecy curtain around a United States coast and geodetic survey report on the May 1 French atomic explosion in the Sahara desert. The question of reducing in- spection demands has been tossed to Washington's decision-makers as a result of project Vela, a United States program aimed at improving methods of detecting below-ground atomic shots. Re- cently announced results indicated nuclear explosions underground can be spotted at a greater dis- tance than previously supposed. Seek Terms For ,Strike WASHINGTON (AP)- The Gov- ernment yesterday settled a long- standing dispute between Pan American World Airways and its flight engineers while pushing to solve a 33-day Eastern Air Lines strike on similar terms. Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg said Eastern's president, Malcolm MacIntyre, will attend a meeting here this afternoon with representatives of the engineers and pilots unions in an effort to button up an Eastern agreement. If Eastern falls in line Goldberg hoped to get American Airlines, facing essentially the same prob- lems, to initial a similar agree- ment to solve the pilots-engineers controversy over manning jet planes. The transport workers union, affiliated with the AFL-CIO as' are the pilots and engineers,' meanwhile announced that ground personnel of Pan American and Northeast Airlines had voted to authorize a strike. For the moment the spotlight is on Eastern, whose president, MacIntyre, has twice rejected a7 settlement p 1 a n advanced by1 Goldberg similar to one acceptedI by Pan American and, before that, by Trans World Airlines. Benh Army Holds Main Portion Of Country Ben Khedda Warns Civil War Threatens ALGIERS (P)-Algerian troops rallying to Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben Bella controlled three-fourths of Algeria yesterday and moved menacingly toward this capital city. Ben Bella claimed his forces have achieved power over the country. They have won battles for the big cities with ease outside Algiers it- self. Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khed- da, defended by soldiers still loyal to his shaky government, warned the new nation that civil war threatened. Attempt Block His troops set up machine gun defenses around the capital in an- ticipation of a final assault on the road to complete power for Ben Bella. A few ministers of the Ben Khedda government fled to the Kabylie Mountains to join with some 8,000 guerrillas in a stand against Ben Bella. From there they called on the population and sol- diers who fought for independence from France to organize resistance "in every town, village and ham- let." Ben Bella's followers seized the East Algerian city of Constantine, with some bloodshed. The Medi- terranean seaport of Bone fell without struggle and Ben Bella controlled most of the major cities but for the capital. Troop convoys pulling Czech and Soviet cannon rolled slowly eastward toward Al- giers, roaring Ben Bella's name. Raps French Ben Khedda also charged last night that the French planned to intervene. Convoys of French troops were on the highways in the vicinity of Algiers, but it was im- possible to determine their aim or destination. Ben Khedda was left alone in the capital. Members of his gov- ernment either left to join Ben Bell's camp or planned a last- ditch stand in the Kabylie Moun- tains. At a big outdoor meeting in Tiaret, Ben Bella said his first ob- jective would be agrarian reform. Apportionment In Wisconsin Deemed Legal MADISON (R)-A special master held yesterday that Wisconsin's present voting district alignment does not violate the United States Constitution and that a Federal court suit to force reapportion- ment should be dismissed. The recommendation, from for- mer state Supreme Court Justice Emmert Wingert, temporarily sil- enced a politically snarled session of the state Legislature and ap- peared to spell an end to plans for reapportioning congressional and legislative districts before the election this fall. "Existing apportionment . . .1 does not presently deny to plain- tiffs any rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the United States," Wingert said in a prelim- inary report to a panel of three Federal judges. Sella 4 * * * * * * * * Swainson Asks .Determined b Districting Population Troops Aroach Algiers * ^ --^i Advisor Unit To Evaluate Seat Schenme Governor's Group To Begin Studies By PHILIP SUTIN Governor John B. Swainson's advisory committee on reappor- tionlment will meet today to con- sider the constitutionality of the constitutional convention appor- tionment plan and to lay ther groundwork for studies of other reapportionment schemes, Prof. Samuel Eldersveld of the political science department, a member of the committee, said.i The six-member committee had been given the Con-Con scheme apportioning districts on an 80 per cent population and 20 per cent area for a 38 seat Senate by the governor at its first meeting Mon- day, he said. Prof. Eldersveld explained that Swainson told the committee to evaluate the various plans propos- ed in. the Legislature and not to devise an apportionment plan it- self. To Advise "The committee's job is really, very simple. It is to advise the governor on the constitutionality, soundness and feasibility of plans," he noted. Prof. Eldersveld said that the governor had not laid out any specific guidelines, but that the supreme court decision and the 1908 Constitution were fairly spe- cific criteria to follow. That constitution, he added, re- quired that the Senate have 32 districts, conforming to county lines which were apportioned "by number of inhabitants." Interpret Stand The recent court decision inter- preted this provision to mean that there shall be no district two times as great as any other district, Prof. Eldersveld said. Further, the decision laid heavy emphasis on its opposition to arbi- trary, irrationally conceived and "invidiously discriminatory" reap- portionment plans, he continued. "There has been so little case history in this area that the com- mittee will have to feel its way long beyond the 1908 Constitu- tion," Prof. Eldersveld declared. Officials Confer On Congo Division UNITED NATIONS (P) - The United States, committed to re- unification of the Congo by "all possible measures" short of force, sent three high officials here yes- terday to talk with UN Acting Sec- retary-General U Thant. Details were not announced. -AP Wirephoto NEWS CONFERENCE-Martin Luther King declares a "Day of Penance" for a rock-throwing incident after a marching demonstration of Negroes in Georgia. At the right is Wyatt T. Walker, one of the leaders of the Albany movement. Negroes Pass Day of Penance ALBANY (AP)-Negroes signed pledges last night to go to jail as a mass marching demonstration apparently was planned for to- morrow after a "day of penance" because of a flareup of violence. "At 12:05 today the hour of penance will be over and we must take our stand," said integration NATO Picks Lemnitzer PARIS P) - Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer was approved unanim- ously by the Atlantic Alliance yes- terday to succeed Gen. Lauris Norstad as Supreme Allied Com- mander in Europe. The name of the former chair- man of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff was placed in nom- ination by President John F. Ken- nedy and indorsed at a special meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Permanent Council. Norstad resigned Saturday as the European Chief of the 15-na- tion alliance, effective about Nov. 1. There was no opposition to Lemnitzer, but his selectionnmay have been slightly delayed by France. The French cabinet only yesterday approved the nomina- tion. President De Gaulle has been represented as annoyed at the haste with which he thought Washington was trying to put through the appointment. leader Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy. Negroes were handed commit- ment cards at a church rally after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told them, "we can't stop now and we won't stop now." Declare Penance King, who spent the day in taverns, pool rooms and on street corners urging Negroes to embrace his nonviolent doctrine, declared a 24-hour period of penance be- ginning at noon yesterday. He asked his followers to pray for some Negroes, among a crowd of about 2,000, who last night tossed rocks and bottles at police officers after a marching demonstration. The Albany Movement, begun about three years ago, moved last night into a highly organized phase of its determined attack on segre- gation in this southwest Georgia city. King urged the Negroes to in- crease their voting strength by rebistering, to follow a "selective buying campaign" and stay non- violent. Other Marches Abernathy indicated the possi- bility of simultaneous marches in other parts of the country in sup- port of the Albany effort. "We've heard from the state house," said Abernathy, referring to Gov. Ernest Vandiver's threat to call out national guardsmen if necessary for the preservation of law and order here. "Now we want to hear from the White House." King said he and other adher- ents to the passive resistance doc- trine "abhor violence so much that when it occurs in the ranks of the Negro community, we as- sume part of the responsibility for it." Gives Five 'Tests' Plans Must Meet Cautions Attemnpts By Senate To Evade High Court Decision By MIICHAEL HARRAH City Editor Special To The Daily LANSING-Gov. John B. Swain- son made his position on reappor- tionment of the state Senate crys- tal-clear to the Legislature yester- day: redistrict on the basis of strict population or else. In an address before a joint ses- sion of the Legislature, the gov- ernor pledged to approve any plans meeting five basic tests: 1) There shall be 32 senatorial districts. 2) These districts shall be com- pact and contiguous. 3) They shall not breach county lines. 4) The language creating the new districts must be clear and uncomplicated. 5) The population size of each district must be within the limits prescribed by the Supreme Court. Opposes Primary "Failure to redistrict according to the court's mandate will mean election of the Senate in a state- wide primary, and I say to you now: I am opposed to that," Swainson said. The governor tried to impress upon the Legislature "the import- ance of reforging the mechanics of democracy," and he virtually demanded that each of the dis- tricts be equal in population, thpugh the state Supreme Court order did not call for that. He warned against trying to cir- cumvent the court's d e c ision "through inconceived proposals that will only serve to compound such artificial confusion," and he called such a move "a great dis- service to our people." Cites Attempts He was obviously referring to Republican attempts to create dis- tricts with unequal population, which none the less comply with the court decision. The chief executive also de- nounced the critics of the Supreme Court in no uncertain terms. He said that to disagree with the jus- tices was one thing, but to de- nounce them was quite another. "These attacks are subversive to good order and respect to the law. To those who say that this deci- sion was dictated by partisan con- siderations, let us note that the court has the same political com- plexion as two years ago, when it rejected the same suit." Not Unique He noted that "this is not a problem unique to Michigan," and he called upon the Legislature to act sensibly as other states are doing. Reaction to the speech was var- ied. In behalf of his party, Speaker of the House Don R. Pears (R- Buchanan) denounced the whole thing as "a desperate attempt to impose the will of a small faction upon the people of Michigan." The speaker pointed out that the governor's words "fly in the very teeth of the same court he defends. He calls for a strict population ap- portionment, but the court asks no such thing. This is nothing but a maneuver to give the control of the state of Michigan over to the city of Detroit, and that I do not believe was the intent of the court." Democrats generally agreed with the governor, but they were by no. VRC Discharges Patients In First Step of Shutdown By GERALD STORCH Patients are being discharged as rapidly as possible from the Veterans Readjustment Center, its director said last night. As of yesterday morning, there were only 17 in-patients, in comparison to the average of 33 handled by the VRC before it was ordered last month by the state Legislature to close down by Sept. 1, Prof. M. M. Frohlich reported. The number of out-patients-about 70-remains the same how- ever. It is still unclear as to where patients whose psychiatric treat- ment will not be completed will transfer, he said. The Legislature switched the center's traditional appropriation and function to a soldiers home in Grand Rapids due to what Prof. Frohlich called "rumors that we serve few patients at excessive expense."
