The rebels - followers of dissident Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben Bella - made a veiled threat to use force if Ben Khedda failed to step down. Former Deputy Premier Mohammed Khider told a conference at reber headquarters in Tlemcen that Ben Khedda and his regime were S"a group of usurpers whose resig- nation would be an intelligent de- cision that would help" solve Al- geria's political crisis. First Break AHMED BEN BELLA ... continues defiance CON-CON: Cite Change In Measure By MARK BLUCHER "The end result of the 1962 Constitutional Convention was a completely revised, rearranged and updated document," Prof. Jamres Pollock of the political science de- partment said in the fourth of a series of six lectures on the new constitution. The convention took different kinds of action, Prof. Pollock, a GOP delegate from Ann Arbor, said. Some sections were not changed at all, some were only reworded, others were eliminat.ad altogether, some only had a par- tial, substantive, change, and some completely new sections were pre- pared. The new sections included pro- visions for adequate intergovern- mental relations, provided for executive reorganization, extended the civil service into local govern- ments on a permissive basis, and raised the borrowing limit. Unity, Division Only 30 per cent of the recorded votes showed any real dissension among the delegates. "Much more of the 1962 Constitution was of united acceptance than of divided action," Prof. Pollock declared. There was a great deal of unan- imity or near unanimity within the committees, he said. "Seventy- five per cent of the committee pro- posals were reported to the con- vention floor by a unanimous vote," Prof. Pollock continued. In the Committee of the Whole there was complete or near com- plete agreement on 182 of the 325 proposals presented to the dele- gates; he said. In second readings only 35 per cent of the recorded votes had more than five dis- senters. Special Argument Great argument arose over five specific topics: advise and con- sent of the Senate, election or ap- pointment of administrative of- ficials, review of administrative agency policies by the Legislature or the courts, civil rights and ap- portionment. "The Democrats must carry their share of the responsibility for not achieving all that some hoped for. They failed to support the moderate Republicans," Prof. Pol- lock continued. In an analysis of the action taken by the convention it is evident that there was consider- able unanimity in many measures, that a thorough going revision was achieved by the delegates, ard that the new constitution is "a superior and modern document that the state would do well to adopt," Prof. Pollock concluded. Kill Sections +of Tax Plan Khider, top aide of Ben Bella, was the first miinster to break with Ben Khedda when the dis- pute came into the open on the eve of Independence Day, July 3. Unlike Ben Bella, Khider formally resigned from his government post. He warned that if the current secret conference of the wilaya (zone) commanders of the guer- illa army failed to produce a sat- isfactory solution, "we will draw all the consequences from this failure, and will face all our re- sponsibilities without exception." Although he refused to amplify this remark, it was interpreted as a veiled threat to resort to, force. Four of the six wilayas and the Communist-equipped regular army of 45,000 men are behind Ben Bella. All-Day Confab The Wilaya Council met all day at a secret location somewhere in the area of Medea, in the moun- tains south of Algiers, to draw up a possible formula for agreement between the two factions. All six wilayas were represented. Contrary to earlier reports, chief of staff Col. Houari Boumedienne, dismissed by Ben Khdeda for al- legedly plotting a military dicta- torship, did not take part. He was' present at Khider's news confer- ence in Tlemcen and made his first public statement since his dismissal. While Ben Khedda government officials idnicated that they con- sidered the two loyal wilayas to have a veto in the wilaya council, Khider made it clear that the reb- els would accept no decision except one favorable to them. CNRA Approval He reasserted the Ben Bella group's uncompromising insistence that the National Council of the7 Algerian Revolution (CNRA), aI self-nominated, 72-member body4 with a built-in Ben Bella majority, must be convened to name a newz government.s And whatever decision or rec-1 ommendation is made by the Wil-I aya council, he said, must be1 ratified by the CNRA. U.S. Explodes atomic Mortar CAMP MERCURY, Nev. (P) - The United States blasted an ac-; tual nuclear battlefield weapon,1 apparently its vaunted Davy Crockett mortar, with troops pres-1 ent in an atomic "first" yesterday.s Nine hundred soldiers took part] in exercise "Ivy Flats," first American atomic test in five years to use troops.1 The Army said two years ago7 the Davy Crockett-designed to1 attack enemy military positions1 under tactical conditions-dwarfed in firepower anything ever Known in the immediate battle line. PeruI Haya Group To Support Odria Claim Coalition Proposed To Avoid Army Coup LIMA ()-Followers of Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, front- runner in the June 10 presidential election, last night threw their support to retired Gen. Manuel Odria for Peru's presidency. Headquarters of Haya's Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA) said it will back Odria in an ef- fort to end the political crisis resulting from armed forces' op- position to Haya. There was no immediate word on the military reaction to the APRA move. Earlier in the day chiefs of the army, navy and air force called on the national elec- toral board to annul the election. Evening Session The electoral board met during the evening and announced after- ward that the final returns in the balloting showed none of the pres- idential candidates obtained one- third of the votes needed to win. Board President Jose Busta- mante said the official results will be turned over to Congress. Bus- tamante made no reference to the military's annulment request. Outgoing president Manuel Pra- do rejected a similar demand by the military last night. This led to the resignation of prime min- ister Carlos Moreyra Paz Soldan and his cabinet. Coup Reports The mass resignations touched off reports of a possible military tpkeover. Haya led a seven-man field, in- cluding Odria, in the election but failed to obtain the required one- third of the total votes. Under the constitution, congress must now choose a president from among the three leading con- tenders-Haya, Odria and Fer- nando Belaunde Terry, now head of the leftist Popular Action Party. "National Unity" The APRA said that in an ef- fort to "achieve national unmty and maintain the constitutional system," it will join forces with Odria's rightist National Odriista Union in the Congressional bal- loting. Odria headed Peru's gov- ernment from 1948 to 1956. If the electoral board had anulled the election, which in- cluded the selection of new depu- ties and senators, there wouid have been no congress to decide the presidential issue. This would have opened the way for the military to enter the picture. Prado was busy during the day trying to form a new cabinet. Postpone Return Fernando Berckemeyer, Peru's ambassador to the United States who has been mentioned for the prime minister's post, postponed a scheduled return from Washing- ton. (Berckemeyer said in Washing- ton that a shutdown in telephone communications with Lima had prompted the postponement.) The military, switching pressure from Prado, told the electoral board in a letter that the election results should be wiped out "to preserve the peace of the coun- try." It claimed frauds in districts where Haya, a leftist but avowed anti-Communist, scored heaviest. * * * * * * * * * Close Senate Vote Keninedy's Medicar HR C, Council Hold Session On ,Housing By PHILIP SUTIN The Ann Arbor Human Rela- tions Commission and City Coun- cil held a closed-door discussion, of fair housing ordinances last night prior to debate on the issue at Monday's Council working ses- sion. "We discussed possible ordin- ances, but not details," HRC chairman Paul Wagner said. He added that the HRC would not be officially represented at the, working session since it has sub- mitted its report to Council. Fair Housing - The Commission on April 12 recommended the passage of a fair housing ordinance. However, on July 3 it rejected a model sug- gested by Democratic Councilman Lynn Eley and last night's meet- ing was set up.. The April 12 report noted diffi- culties Negroes and other non- whites had in obtaining housing and concluded that housing dis- crimination did exist in Ann Arbor. On July 3 the HRC reiterated the need for a fair housing ordin- ance declaring, "The Commission believes that the Council should take the steps deemed necessary for the adoption of a fair housing ordinance to eliminate discrimina- tion in housing in Ann Arbor." Open Session At a regular meeting of the HRC following the closed session with the Council, progress was noted in the Pittsfield Village dispute over housing discrimination. The Commission noted that the Pittsfield Village had complied with current legal regulations on discrimination, but no Negroes have applied or been accepted in the development. Kennedy Talks With Dobrynin WASHINGTON OP) - President John F. Kennedy reportedly told Soviet ambassador Anatoly F. Do- brynin last night that the with- drawal of Western troops from Berlin is not a negotiable issue. The President was said to have stressed a new Western determina- tion on Berlin in an unusual talk with Dobrynin which lasted nearly an hour. Presidential press secretary, Pierre Salinger said Kennedy brought up the major issues of Berlin, disarmament, nuclear test- ing and Laos. Groups Join BETTI PLAY: Materialist Confronts 'Que By KATHLEEN MOORE A dialectical materialist will confront a prostitute turned queen at 8 p.m. today at Trueblood Aud., Frieze Bldg. Set in a milieu of political revo- lution, Ugo Betti's "The Queen and the Rebels" asserts that "all you have to do to be queen is create the myth." "Anyone's judgement of a man becomes more and more attached to his title," Andrew Doe of the speech department, the director of the University Players' production, claims. In the play, Argia -- a prostitute - is mistaken for the former queen and nothing she can do will convince the rebels she's not. Amos-the dialectical material- ist-decides that her trial and ex- ecution would aid the rebel cause. So he sets out to destroy the regal queen the people have looked up to with respect and awe all their lives. But he acts without consid- ering Argia. Betti abhors and finds the big- gest modern threat in material- istic, historicaldeterminism, Doe says. People like Amos, he said, "are basically nihilistic - they have some sense or need for order in the world which they don't find. So they impose determinism and advocate almost total destruction of the world in order to impose it." Unlike most playwrights who are either caught up in being so real- istic they can say nothing or part of the absurdist school whose plays have little relation to the everyday world, Betti sought to "do something in terms of theatre to bridge the communication gap, to work with heightened realism that has an objective reality for audiences" while presenting a co- herent view on life. Doe says. The Italian playwright "almost cries for some responsibility, some sense of the individual having more than a passive concept ofthe role he has in the world. Man seems to have lost the sense of his own individual value and worth and dignity." "Basically a rather vicious per- son whose life is based on a need for existence at any cost," Argia "gains dignity through the very image she's looked up to" along with the rest of the people. Most of the play, according to Doe, centers around the image of the queen that affects the lives of the people and the course of the revolution. "The queen is a myth, the kind of myth we all tack our lives to-it defeats us once we submit to it." It limits our lives by providing a model to look up, to and emulate, but "once the myth See DOE, Page 3 Downs. Bill To Be' SResubmitted Next Session Care To Aged Defeat By 52-48 Count Viewed As Serious WASHINGTON (P)-The Sei- ate killed 52 to 48 yesterday Presi- dent John F. Kennedy's com- promise plan to help the elderly pay their hospital and nursing care bills-bringing a prompt de- nunciation from the chief execu- tive. Within an hour after the new jolting legislative setback for the administration, a grim-faced Ken- nedy appeared before newsmen to call the action "a most serious defeat for every American family." He said he will offer the plan again next year and appealed to the voters to show they want it by their choice of members of Congress in the November elec- tions. e Gaetano Psychological Lift en" who The climactic action, after " which months of pressure and dickering hat the by both sides, gave a psychological killd to lift to members of Congress seek- killed to ing to block other Kennedy pro- posals. It came on top of defeat of Kennedy's farm and urban af- fairsdepartment proposals, al- teration of some key tax recom- mendations and lack of action on such prime administration bills as aid to education. Twenty-one Democrats-17 of them Southerners-joined 31 Re- 5e publicans in dealing the death blow to Kennedy's social security approach to health care for the e vs. Hare aged.

Technically, what the Senate did was to approve a motion by Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla) to ews table and thus kill an amendment by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D- NM) that would have tied the Kennedy plan to a House-passed public welfare bill. dress yes Bursley Asks armament0Con e plan de- To Stop Takeover -Daily-Michael d VIOLENCE - Three rebels plot the death of the "quee has defied them in Ugo Betti's "Queen and the Rebels opens tonight at Trueblood Aud.

CONFER TODAY: Expect Supreme Cour To Decide Seholle Cas A Supreme Court decision on the controversial Scholle reapportionment case is expected today. The court will meet behind closed doors and follo session, the court may announce its decision on state AFL-C dent Gus Scholle's request to nullify the present state S tricts as an illegal unfair representation.. Oral hearings on the case ended July 2. A decision u to the Senate will swing Republican-controlled machi RESIDENCE HALLS- action. Sen. Carlton Morris (R-< Kalamazoo) said he would call his judiciary committee into ses- sion within a day after an un- favorable decision was reached. Alternate Plan The committee already has one alternate proposal before it. Sen. Lynn Francis (R-Midland), Has- kell Nichols (R-Jackson), Perry Greene (R-Grand Rapids) and Harold Hughes (R-Clare) have proposed that the Constitutional Convention apportionment be put on the November election ballot. Under that scheme four seats- one each from Wayne, Genesse, Macomb and Oakland counties- would be added to the Senate next year instead of 1970. The Legislature is scheduled to return to Lansing July 26. How- ever, if events warrant it, they may return next Monday night, Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) indicated recently. Criticize Statements Meanwhile, four former Supreme Court justices criticized state- ments by Sen. John Smeekens (R- Coldwater), the Senate Republican floor leader and Rep. Allison Green (R-Kingston) the House Majority leader favoring impeach- ment of Supreme Court justices if they decide against the Senate. Former justices Henry M. But- zel, George Bushnell, George Ed- wards and John D. Voelker de- cared "We hope that cooler heads will prevail and that intemperate, abuse and attempts at intimidation of judges will be repudiated by the people of Michigan."

Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) has wired Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc- Namara, asking him to meet with the joint legisative committee on economic growth Aug. 10. Bursley expects a definite an- swer today. McNamara reportedly told a group of Congressmen (none from Michigan) last week that the state Republicans, by opposing an in- come tax, had deprived the Uni- versity of money needed to main- tain a good position in competi- tion with other institutions for defense reses ',h grants. Look Back Bursley said last night that it was "fully possible" that Mc- Namara didn't really make that foreboding an implication, as Con- gressmen from competing states could have released only informa- tion tending to make Michigan look bad. The representative expressed confidence in the University's re- search work, pointing out that it leads the nation in the number of nuclear scientists and aeronau- tical engineers produced.
