Ask Support
Of Algerian
'Free' Vote
ALGIERS (W) - The European
Secret Army Organization yester-
day, dramatically poined with its
former Moslem enemies to urge an
overwhelming vote for Algerian in-
dependence in tomorrow's self-de-
termination referendum.
"I ask you to have confidence
in the future," Secret Army leader
Jean-Jacques Susini said in a
clandestine radio broadcast report-
ed to Algiers' European population
Susini, one of the main organ-
izers of the European terrorist net-
work, called for a 'yes' vote for
an '"Algeria of courage, progress
and brotherhood."
"We should construct this coun-
try with all those who have given
us their hand," Susini declared.
Meanwhile feverish preparations
were under way to set up an esti-
mated 6,500 polling stations for
Algeria's six million voters reg-
istered for the crucial referendum,
They will go to the polls' to an-
swer one question: "Do you want
Algeria, to become an independent
state in cooperation with France?'
Observers said the expected 'yes
answer might go as high as 99
per cent of the vote.
Susini hailed his peace pact with
Moslem nationalists, announced
June 17. as "recognition of our
combat, guarantee of our rights."
Many Europeans have decided
to stay and face the future in a
Moslem-run Algeria.
In Oran, former bastion of Eu-
ropean resistance to Algeria's in-
dependence, triumphant Moslems
chanted nationalist slogans after
removing some of the barbed wire
that has been separating their
areas from the European city.
French troops who have been
guarding Moslem areas from Eu-
ropean attacks slowly withdrew to-
ward the European city.
Group Urges
Tax Reduction
By Congress
WASHINGTON (o)-New pres-
sure for immediate tax cuts came
yesterday from the United States
Chamber of Commerce, which out-
lined what it termed a program
of massive aid for the economy.
The chamber proposed quick re-
ductions totaling $5.5 to $7.5 bil-
lion all along the line in corpora-
tion and income taxes, with the
biggest cuts in upper income
brackets.
Putting off such action, the
chamber warned "not only courts
the disaster of a recession in the
United States but its spread to
Canada" and hte rest of the free
world.
In the Senate, assistant Demo-
cratic leader Hubert H. Humphre3
(D-Minn) renewed his urging for
a tax, cut now, saying he saw no
reason to wait until next year.
Among the chamber's proposal
are:
1) Cutting the top bracket indi-
vidual income tax rate from 91 to
65 per cent;
2) Splitting the lowest individua
bracket and imposing a 15 per
cent rate on the lower portion,
However, the present 20 per cent
would apply on the second $1,000
of taxable income;
3) Adjusting all in-between ratee
proportionately; and
4) Reducing the corporation rate
from 52 to 47 per cent.
"Reduction of personal incomE
taxes will increase take-home pal
and hopefully reduce the pressurE
< November ballot, the state Su-
preme Court' delayed any final
decision until after the Aug. 8
deadline for the November ballot.
Technically, the appeal could
take several months. The state has
15 days to file a claim of appeal.
A 90-day period could then be
used to collect briefs from both
sides.
January Decision
Experts say a Supreme Court
- decision might be expected in
January.
Commenting on the Supreme
Court decision, convention dele-
gate Richard Van Dusen (R-
Birmingham) said, "in the ab-
sence of a determination of the
Slegal questions there is no choice
for the convention but to recog-
nize the April date.
"We can't afford to take a
- chance on specifying a November
- submission and finding out it
- can't be submitted then," Van
rDusen said.
s ANovember vote would only
have been possible, according to
Kelley, if the convention had com-
pleted its work by April 2.
November Vote
Majority Republicans in the
convention had agreed to seek
r a November referendum on the
new document. They argued that
submission should be as soon as
possible and at an election where
a large turnout of voters could
be expected.
"As to the adoption of the pro-
posed constitution, I doubt that
the appeal has any significance,"
Van Dusen said. "As to the avail-
ability of the new constitution to
rebuild the state it delays that a
year."
r Edward Hutchinson (R-Fen-
ville), a convention delegate, felt
r that the new document would not
be able to be placed on the No-
vember ballot.
Gubernatorial Issue
Hutchinson felt that regardless
of whether the constitution is on
the fall ballot, it will still be an
issue in the gubernatorial cam-
r!paign.
"If Romney wins the fall elec-
tions, the new constitution will be
passed by the voters in April. If
Swainson wins the governorship
then the new document will fail,"
he concluded.
Melvin Nord (D-Detroit), an-
other convention delegate, had
wanted the new constitution to be
on the November ballot but realiz-
ed that this wasn't possible.
Not in Favor
"I was not in favor of the suit
and I feel that Attorney General
Kelley's appeal is 100 per cent
correct," he said.
Nord was optomistic about the
chances for a defeat of the new
s document even if it appears in
_ April in spite of the fact that the
Democrats usually have a weak
turnout at that time.
"If there is a vote on the new
constitution after some months
- have passed, and it is not mixed up
in the gubernatorial campaign,
more time will probably be taken
to review the document. In this
case more people will take an ob-
s jective view of its contents and,
as a result, there will be less en-
thusiasm for it," Nord concluded.
SEN. JAMES O. EASTLAND
... believes in prayer
Prayer .Bill
Introduced
WASHINGTON (P) - Chairman
James O. Eastland (D-Miss) of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
introduced yesterday a constitu-
tional amendment he said would
"completely nullify both the ef-
fect and implication" of the Unit-
ed States Supreme Court's prayer
decision.
His double-barrelled proposal
also would alleviate in part what
he called "the awesome conse-
quences" of another Supreme
Court ruling Monday which over-
turned a Post Office ban on mail-
ing of three magazines the Post-
master General declared obscene
literature.
Eastland was joined in offering
the amendment by Senators Olin
D. Johnston (D-SC) and John L.
McClellan (D-Ark), both members
of the Judiciary Committee. and
Sen. Herman Talmadge (D-Ga).
Javits Comments
Earlier, Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-
NY), a former Attorney General
of New York, said that in his
judgment the Court's decision bar-
ring official prayers in public
schools is "much narrower in its
scope than the public debate about
it suggests."
What the Court held, Javits
said, is that "the state or Federal
governments are prohibited from
prescribing by law 'any particular
form of prayer which is to be
used as an official prayer in car-
rying on any program of govern-
mentally sponsored religious activ-
ity' "
The Mind of a Child
Eastland asserted that "in the
minds of little children not versed
in the intricacies of law," the
Court's decision might well create
"the fixed impression that the act
of praying to God is in itself un-
constitutional wherever the prayer
might be uttered."
. Most of his Senate speech, how-
ever, was directed to the Court's
ruling in the obscene literature
case.
Expect Israel
To Deport Spy
JERUSALEM (R)-Speedy de-
portation seemed yesterday to be
in store for Dr. Robert A. Soblen,
the bail-jumping Soviet spy who
sought asylum in Israel from life
imprisonment in the United
States.
Israeli newspapers urged that
Soblen be ousted. Several papers
cited his presence as a potential
irritant in relations between Wash-
ington and Jerusalem.

SUPPORT IN SENATE:
Present Bipartisan Health Bill
WASHINGTON (1P) - A bipar-
tisan plan for health care for the
aged financed under Social Secur-
ity was unveiled in the Senate
yesterday and appeared to attract
enough support to pass that body.
Five Republican Senators joined
18 Democrats in co-sponsoringthe
new proposal, worked out after
weeks of intensive conferences.
This in itself showed a consider-
able voting gain for the new bill.
Only one Republican voted for a
Social Security health care plan
when it was offered to the Senate
by then Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-
Mass) in 1960 and defeated 51 to
44.
Reveals Details
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-
NM) chief Senate sponsor of Ken-
nedy's health care plan and one
of those seeking a compromise,
told the Senate of its details and
declared the time has arrived "to
provide an effective program of
protection for the nation's elderly
people."
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-
Minn) assistant Democratic leader,
said "this proposal can and will be
passed by the Senate and the
House."
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY),
one of the Republicans most ac-
tive in the negotiations, said he
regards the compromise as "an
historic step."
The key points of the com-
promise are:
1) It would be financed by an
increase in Social Security pay-
roll taxes.
2) The benefits would be the
same as under the administration
bill on which Kennedy has been
urging action - hospitalization,
nursing home care, home health
services and outpatient hospital
diagnostic services.
3) The estimated 2.5 -million
people not covered by Social Se-
curity would be given the benefits
of the program along with the 15
million expected to be under So-
cial Security or railroad retirement
by 1964 when the plan would take
effect.
Substitution Possible
4) An option would be provided
under which a beneficiary could
elect to take his payments through
a private health insurance plan
instead of the Social Security ad-
ministration.
Despite confidence of sponsors
that they now have votes to spare
in the Senate, it seemed ques-
tionable the plan could clear the
House this year.
The House Ways and Means
Committee has been struggling
with the issue since last session,
but a majority of its members
appear to be lined up against any
Social Security health plan.
Congo Talk
Breakdown
Causes Alert
UNITED NATIONS (IP)-Acting
Secretary-General U Thant said
yesterday he had placed United
Nations forces in the Congo on the
alert as the result of a new crisis
caused bya breakdown in Congo
unity talks.
In a statement to a meeting of
his 19-nation Congo advisory com-
mittee, Thant said he might call
the Security Council into session to
consider strengthening the United
Nations hand in the Congo.
Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula
and Katanga President Moise
Tshombe broke off Tuesday their
long talks on. bringing Katanga
province back into the Congo.
Set No Date
Thant told his committee this
created "a new critical phase for
the UN operation in the Congo."
"It is, I think, a bit early to at-
tempt to draw any conclusions as
to the significance of the failure
of the Leopoldville talks to end in
agreement," he said. "There is no
provision for their resumption but
we will press for them to do so.
"The decisive question, of course,
will be whether Mr. Tshombe and
his lieutenants will now undertake
to resume their secessionist ef-
forts. They may or may not."
Decisive Factor
Hike
Pay Raises'
Individually
Determined
To Enlarge Staff,
Number of Books
At 'U' Libraries
In a special meeting yesterday,
the Regents approved a general
funds budget of $49,997,157, With
approximately $3 million slated for
faculty and staff pay increases.
Another $160,000 will go for hir-
ing additional personnel for the
libraries and for new lib'rary books.
University President H a r a n
Hatcher emphasized, however, that
only minimum provision can be
made to hire more faculty mem-
bers even in academic areas where
there is critical shortage, and no
provision at all for additional re-
search and service personnel, sup-
plies and equipment.
Critical Salary Situation
"Because of the critical situa-
stion with salaries, we have budg-
eted the entire income from addi-
tional student fees and 85 per
cent ofsthe increase in legislative
appropriationsfor sfaculty and
staff salary increases," President
Hatcher's statement said.
Although terming it "a very
tight budget," Executive Vice-
President Marvin L. Niehuss said
that the faculty pay hike "will
maintain the University's position"
in relation to salaries at other
colleges.
"The amount we received was
welcome, but we could have used
more money," Niehuss said.
Selective Increases
The salary boost will be allotted
on a basis of selective merit and
promotion, rather than across-the-
board. Determination of which
faculty members will get how much
of a pay hike will be made by
Niehuss after recommendations
from department chairmen and
deans.
There will be an increase of from
10 to 12 per cent in the number
of library workers. Niehuss noted
that the additional personnel are
needed to catalogue and classify
new books. Due to the necessity
for each book to be read, catalog-
ued and shelved, the cost for these
operations alone runs in excess of
six dollars per book.
"Each year we've been putting
in a larger share for library staff,"
Niehuss said, to improve the serv-
ices in this area.
Use Student Fees
The faculty pay raise and the
library allocation make up nearly
all of the $3,334,310 increase over
last year's operating budget. Of
this sum, approximately $2 million
came from the recent tuition hike
and $1.3 million from the rise in
this year's legislative appropria-
tion.
The rest of the budget increase
(about $170,000) will go for the
"minimum provisions" tQ hire new
faculty members in the "critical
areas."
The budget approved by the Re-
gents is only the framework for
University spending, as specific al-
locations w i t h i n departments,
schools and other areas have not
been worked out.
How much of the $3 million will
be spent on faculty salary raises
and how much for the non-aca-
demic employe wage hikes, for in-
stance, has yet to be determined.
The operating budget was the
only item of business considered by
the Regents at yesterday's meeting.
