LXXII, No. 12-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY JULY 12, 1962 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES Senate Unit Rejects Business Tax Clause Kennedy Announces Depreciation Relief, but Loses on Investment By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-Shortly after President John F. Kennedy an- nounced a $1.5 billion tax cut for American business, the Senate Fi- nance Committee handed him a severe setback by knocking out the withholding system on dividends and interest out of his tax revision bill yesterday. Although the committee did approve plans for a seven per cent credit on business investment in new equipment, the defeat means an I Lewis Over Assumes Total Authority Of fice of Student Affairs AHMED BEN BELLA ..triumphal fete Rivals Wary Of Ben Bella MARNIA, Algeria (P)-Dissident Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben Bella returned in triumph to this fron- tier city of his birth today and was given a hero's welcome. J In Algiprs, about 300 miles to the east, the regime of Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda was re- ported watching the progress of Ben Bella with growing uneasiness. Already the deputy premier was believed to command the loyalty of most of the Algerian nationalist army, and he set out from Mo- rocco showing no disposition to mend his quarrel with Ben Khed- da. Leave Morocco Ben Khedda's mediators left Morocco after talks with Ben Bella apparently collapsed early in the day. The basic issue appears to be Ben Bella's opposition to Ben Khedda's policy of working with France to build Algeria. Ben Bella, long jailed by the French, wants an Arab brand of Socialism. The tall, deputy premier stepped across the border from Morocco at an isolated post on the parched North African plain. He was flank- ed by high officers of the guer- rilla army's military District Five, who have firmly installed pro- Ben Bella forces in Western Al- geria. No Insignia He shook hands. with non- commissioned officers who wore no insignia in accordance with the custom of the Algerian People's Army. He then reviewed 120 men lined up in front of the modern, war- damaged frontier post. A couple of hundred spectators were silent until Ben Bella turned to them with a broad smile. Then applause broke out. Ben Bella, who had been brought to the border in a car convoy from Rabat, then stepped into an open car and was sped behind motorcycle escort into Marnia, a town of 12,000, mostly Moslems, six miles to the east. The caravan, followed by about 30 carloads of spectators, slowed down fpr groups of Moslemi men, wpmen and children along the roadside, who shouted and waved to the home town boy. After passing under banners proclaiming "long live Ben Bella" in French and Arabic, Ben Bella arrived in the town square, which was crowded with thousands of colorfully, dressed Moslems cheer- ing and clapping. State To Allow Vote on College LANSING (A)-The state De- partment of Public Instruction yes- terday approved an application ; from Ionia County for establish- v estimated $650 million in annual tax revenues intended to be gain- ed by the withholding scheme wil be lost. Added to this loss, of course, i the $1.5 billion for allowances for depreciation on old business equip. ment, thus eliminating any hoper for a balanced budget for the 1963 fiscal year. Spur Expansion Kennedy said the depreciation reform might prompt business to increase its annual outlays for modernization an dexpansion by as much as $6 billion. "By encouraging American bus- iness to replace its machinery more rapidly, we hope to make American products more cost- competitive, to step up our rate of recovery and growth and to pro- vide expanded job opportunities for all American workers," he said in a statement. The liberalization represented the most sweeping overhaul of the tax depreciation system in at least two decades. It was accomplished entirely through administrative action and will go into effect at once without any action by Con- gress. Severe Blow But Kennedy had counted heav- ily on the plan for withholding 20 per cent of all dividends and in- terest payments. And he pushed the investment credit as an incentive to business to modernize equipment and keep America competitive in an ex- panding world economy, The committee's vote was 10-5, but moves to reverse this action, plus the seven per cent investment credit, are expected to be made on the Senate floor. Protest Backs Doctors' Strike - REGINA, Sask. () - Several thousand citizens staged an order- ly protest outside Saskatchewan's provincial legislative building yes- terday against the government's medicare program. The turnout fell far below pre- vious estimates that ranged up to 30,000, but almost every sizable community in the province was represented. The Canadian Press estimated the crowd at 4,000. Lloyd's government, meanwhile, put out a call for 200 British doc- tors for temporary practice here during the strike. Orders were sent to expand the recruiting rcampaign beyond the 50 to 100 British doc- tors originally sought. Sixty have been recruited so far out of 300 applicants. Deny WCorry About Probe Of Eligibility By JAMES GREENBERG s Expressing unconcern about the 3 investigation over his eligibility to run for the Democratic nomina- tion for Washtenaw County state 1 senator, Dick Wakefield yester- Q day challenged the Democratic r Party to throw him off the ballot. "If the Democratic Party wants to remove me, they will have to do it through the courts," Wake- field declared. "I don't care where I live and neither should the people of the 33rd (Washtenaw County) Sena- torial District," he added. Investigate Status City, state and county officials are investigating Wakefield's stat- us as an eligible voter after Coun- ty Democratic Chairman Peter P. Darrow complained that Wake- field's listed residence was that of Howard Wikel, an Ann Arbor druggist. Wakefield explained that, as a bachelor, he commutes between Detroit and Ann Arbor. He said he has lived in Ann Arbor on and off for the last 23 years and is a registered voter here. When in Ann Arbor, he added, he often stays at the Wikel residence. Wakefield's name remains on the ballot as no court action to remove has been initiated. Print- er's proofs posted on the wall of the City Clerk's office lists his name as a candidate running against Prof. Robert Niess of the Romance Languages department. No Action "No action was taken on his al- leged false address because Wake- field had not finished registra- tion, but since he swore that he was an eligible voter on Aug. 7, he is considered a registered voter unless successfully challenged at the polls, City Clerk Fred J. Look- er said. Darrow said that the party is awaiting the outcome of the in- vestigation. "What it does depends on the investigation. If enough evidence is found, a mandamus proceeding would be in order and Wakefield's name could be strick- en from the ballot," he declared. Prof. Niess said that Wakefield "apparently intends to convert the serious business of democratic elections into a travesty." "I hope that Democratic voters will demonstrate their belief in the orderly process of the American party system by supporting my candidacy," Prof. Niess added. Groups Compete In OSA Derby In response to various criticisms, Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs James A. Lewis in the summer of 1961 appointed a student-faculty-administration study group to make recommen- dations for revisions in the structure of the Office of Student Affairs. This committee, chaired by Prof. John Reed of the Law School, met at great length throughout the past fall and spring semesters, finally presenting its report on Feb. 21. The Reed Report called for a clearly-defined student af- fairs philosophy with a heavily-academic basis, and asked that lines of authority within the office be redrawn and re-orientated. Functional Arrangement It asked for a more functional organization, with director- ships of housing and discipline. The dean of men and dean of women would be replaced, and instead a dean and associate dean of students, directly re- sponsible to the Vice-President, would oversee student organiza- tions and scholarships and financial aid. These two offices, however, had to be of the opposite sex. In addition to the directly vertical lines of authority leading to the Vice-President, several faculty and student committees would be set up as advisory groups for the director of housing, dean of discipline and the Vice-President himself. All final responsibility, however, would lie in the Vice-Presidency. Private Meeting It is this report which has been the focal point for the many-sided opinions on the OSA. Lewis, a member of the Reed Committee, signed its report, and accepted it along with other group's recommendations to incorporate into a complete rec- ommendation to be submitted to the Regents, who would take final action. Just before the Reed Report was released, several of the Regents and top-level administrators met behind closed doors with the committee, and reportedly raised strong objection to the report, particularly in its handling of the role of women students. It is not publicly known whether the Regents and adminis- trators succeeded in persuading the committee to alter its report, so as to differentiate between the needs of men and women. It does provide that men and women students be treated alike as much as possible, with the official personnel administering them based on functional rather than sexual lines, such as in the dean of men and dean of women. Trends Revealed? At the May session, however, the Regents may have given some inkling of the future arrangement of the OSA. Their in- dividual comments, plus Lewis's partial report, were recorded in the.semi-official minutes, excerpts from which are printed below: From Lewis's recommendation-"The following functional divisions each headed by a director will be: 1) COUNSELING. To counsel with individual students: to coordinate the services of the University in order to individualize and personalize the collegiate experience of students. Concern for student welfare and maximum utilization of his capabilities. To provide requisite information and effective liaison to campus counseling agencies. 2) DISCIPLINE AND JUDICIARY. To emphasize corrective discipline. To maintain optimum morale. Rules and regulations shall be clearly formulated and communicated. Emphasis on positive principles. Use of student leaders. To stress preventative measures. 3) HOUSING. To physically accommodate students, pro- mote academic learning, and enhance personal development. Supervise residence halls, provide off-campus listings, admin- ister applications and contracts for residence halls, and super- vise housing maintenance and repairs. 4) STUDENT FINANCIAL AID. To administer the program of scholarships, loans, and grants-in-aid. To provide assistance best suited to the student's personal and intellectual growth, with consideration to need, special abilities, and future promise. 5) STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND STUDENT GOVERN- MENT. "To provide a favorable continuation of the socialization process of the individual, to provide opportunities for experi- ences in good group interaction and relationships, and to de- velop student leaders on campus as leaders for later life . .. Comments by University President Harlan Hatcher: "It is important to serve the needs of students as students, but also to recognize the special areas where women have their own particular interests and their own, often unique, ways of solving their problems and promoting their happiness . .." JAMES A. LEWIS ... OSA in transition PROBATION: National Hits .DG's A Delta Gamma chapter at Be- oit College was put on probation last week at the national conven- tion at Mackinac Island. The local, which pledged a Ne- gro girl in April, had been on probation pending action from the national council since last May. In both cases, the national listed failure to comply with "rules and regulations" of National Delta Gamma. What the rules and reg- ulations are specifically was not specified. Not Public St. Clair Richards, spokesman for the national, told the Chicago Sun Times that what tlge specific procedures are which were violated are "not a matter for public in- formation." TheiBeloit local was put upon probation until November when it will be able to apply'for rein- statement. Miss Richards noted, in thesame news article, that she felt the chapter would be rein- stated at that time. She also felt that Patricia Hamilton, the Ne- gro pledged, would probably be initiated. In May, when the first proba- tion action was passed by the na- tional president, Mrs. Russell Nash, of Des Moines, an alumae of Delta Gamma, charged discrimination on the part of the sorority. ' Private Matter The national president and Phyllis Farnsworth, president of the Beloit local, at that time said that the reasons for the probation were the concern of only the sorority and the national. Both, however, noted that the probation action at that time was not a result of the pledging of Miss Hamilton. Beloit College officials said that to their knowledge no sorority ort fraternity at the school has a bias clause in its constitution. House Vote Blocks UN Bond Buyingt WASHINGTON (P-The Houset yesterday voted 124-112 to pro-t hibit use of any foreign aidf money for United Nations loans,r grants or bonds until all United Nations members have paid upE back assessments for peacekeeping.I Works To Complete he emphasized&that the Senate committee, or a group similar to it, would always exist to function as an appeal board for judiciary decisions. The OSA is expected to be re- organized along functional lines by the Regents at their July 27 meeting. Final recommendations for the new structure will be made to the Regents by University Pres- ident Harlan Hatcher and Lewis, who in turn has received several advisory reports from groups in- cluding a committee headed by Prof. John Reed of the Law School and Student Government Council. At their June session, the Re- gents acted on several of the rec- ommendations presented by Lewis at that time, but the areas of personnel, judiciaries and func- tions traditionally handled by the dean of men and the dean of wom- en were postponed for later study and action. Still To Decide Lewis said yesterday he has ar- rived at several final decisions to be made in his recommendation, but still has not decided on the personnel to fill the offices. He declined to reveal details of his final opinions, and also said his complete report to the Regents will not be made public before- hand. Lewis said he has consulted ex- tensively with personnel in the OSA on the various alternatives available for a revised structure, and has kept them informed of his tentative, although for all practical purposes final, recom- mendations. To Meet with Faculty He has not met with student or faculty groups on the matter, but said he plans to meet with the University Senate Student Rela- tions Committee next week and also with the Reed Committee, the student-faculty-administrator group which he chaired. His recommendations, however, must be channeled through Presi- dent Hatcher, who will present the administration's advisory opinion, to the Regents., The Regents are expected to de- vote considerable attentionto the, OSA, but it is uncertain whether, the final restructuring for the of- f ice will be completed at the July meeting. Lewis said he has not consult- ed with the Regents since thej May meeting.I 'Announces Room Rates Residence halls room and board rates will be increased $30 per resident beginning this fall, Vice- President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis announced yes- terday. Themoney will be used to raise the salaries of non-academic em- ployes working in residence halls, and to help provide the physical revisions which will be necessary when co-educational housing is inaugurated in the fall of 1963. Lewis also reported that there will be a slight boost in salary for resident advisors, staff counselors and housemothers, although the sum may vary from person to per- son. Funds for this use will come from the $3.2 million increase in the University's operating budget, comprised of student tuition and the legislative appropriation, which came two weeks ago. The Residence Halls Board of Governors had approved the staff salary increase during the spring, while it had set a tentative three to four per cent hike in room and board rates at its June session. But the latter rate could not be determined until the state Leg- islature passed the University's appropriation. World News Roundup By The Associated Press NEW DELHI - India and Red China accused each other today of waging a campaign of encircle- ment of each other's outposts in a snowy three-mile high valley in their Himalayan borderland. In an exchange of urgent notes, each charged the other with aggression in the narrow Galwan Valley and each warned the other of the re- sponsibility if shooting war breaks out over the disputed border. MADISON, Wis. - The Repub- lican controlled Wisconsin legis- lature pushed through a new re- apportionment plan for congres- sional districts yesterday and promptly recessed for a week. The Democratic minority charged that the action was "an open invita- tion" to a federal court to act in the meanwhile. NEW YORK - The remarkable Telstar satellite, spinning through space, last night brought French and British television direct to America home screens. The first east-west links of the old world with the new via outer space came through with as much clarity as if they came from a few miles away.

Lewis dis- closed yesterday he has assumed complete responsibility for the policies of the OSA as the time draws near for its restruc- turing. "I made the assumption that the Reed Report meant what it said" when it specified ultimate responsibility in student affairs should rest with the Vice-President, Lewis said. As an example of the consolidation of authority in the Vice-Presidency, the University Senate Subcommittee on Dis- cipline has ended much of the work it was devoting to study- ing regulations dealing with "conduct unbecoming a student." Committee Always Useful Proposals for revision in areas such as this will center in the Vice-President's office in the future, Lewis said, although Khing Protest, Literacy Tests Mark Southern* S 111 ~tedacte St rte By The Associated Press ALBANY, Ga.--A protest against the jailing of integration lead- er Rev.
