LXX, No. 19S ANN ARDOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1960 FIVE CENTS FOUR I FIVE CENTS UN Rushes Troops r To Troubled Congo UNITED NATIONS (;P)-Troops, military equipment and relief supplies sped to the Congo last night in a fast-moving United Nations operation to bring order and stability out of chaos. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold said a vanguard of 600 soldiers volunteered by Tunisia and Ghana had been airlifted during the day by United States planes into Leopoldville, the strife-torn Congo capital.' lHe said the buildup would continue through the weekend with. troops from Morocco and Ethiopia. The Congo, peace army is to be all-African under top command of a Swede in UN service and another Khrushchev Warns West About Congo MOSCOW (JP)-Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev warned the West yesterday to keep hands off the Congo. Repeating his charge that the faltering new nation is a target of imperialist aggression, Khrush- chev declared the Soviet Union will take resolute counter meas- ures if this continues. "The demand of the Soviet Union is simple--hands off the Republic of the Congo!" he said in a message of reassurance to Congo President Joseph Kasavubu and Prinier Patrice Lumumba. "The government of the Congo can be assured that the Soviet government will give the Congo Republic the necessary help which may be required for the victory of your just cause." As in similar statements con- cerning Suez and Cuba, this left the Kremlin in a position to claim a victory no matter which way the situation goes. In 1956 the Russians threatened to send "volunteers" to fight for Egypt unless Britain, France and Israel broke off an invasion of Egypt. That fighting ended after thente States also condemned the attacks. Last Saturday Khrushchev pledged support for Cuba and re- ceived himself a "hands off" warn- ing from the United States, which said action by international Com- munism in the Western Hemis- phere could not be tolerated. An almost daily series of Khru- shchev speeches, notes and dec- larations must be creating an im- pression among Soviet newspaper readers that Western nation na- tions headed by the United States are rushing hell-bent toward an aggressive war. Swede heads the UN civilian re- habilitation effort for the Congo. Army Offered Guinea offered its whole army- number undisclosed-and Liberia one company of troops to the UN force. Informed sources said Mali had agreed to supply one battalion and Ghana had pledged two. Soviet officials at UN headquar- ters said they had received no word as to whether their govern- ment would send food to the Con- go or would contribute to the fi- nancial support of the military force. They declined to elaborate on Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's statement about possible Soviet military aid to the Congo govern- ment, but indicated it probably was inspired by belief that Bel- gium would refuse to withdraw its troops from the Congo even after the UN force is in full operation. Hammarskjold Works Hammarskjold worked to piece together a broad program au- thorized by the 11-nation council r early Thursday. While the emer- gency force was the key part of the plan, the secretary general reported these other developments: 1) Eleven military officers, part of the UN truce supervision or- ganization in Palestine, are flying to Leopoldville to serve as instruc- tors and advisers to the Congo army. The officers are from Cana- da, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. i2) Swedish industrialist Sture Linner is in the Congo to take up his post as UN Resident Repre- sentative and head of a UN ad- ministrative task force. 3) The United States sent a fleet of planes to Leopoldville with 300 tons of flour contributed at the request of the UN. American planes took off from bases in France and Germany with food and medical "supplies. Hammarskjold said he had ap- pointed Henry R. Labquisse, form- er head of the UN refugee agency in Palestine, to assist him with the establishment of the UN force. Wegman Appointed New .Dean Dr. Myron E. Wegman hwas named dean of the public health school of the University yesterday by the Regents. His appointment, in which he succeeds Dean Henry F. Vaughan, who retired a year ago, becomes effective September 1. Wegman is secretary-general of the Pan American Sanitary Bu- reau and of the World Health Or- ganization Regional Office for the Americas. "In Myron Wegman we have a new dean held in high esteem in medical, public health, govern- mental and foundation circles throughout the country," Marvin Niehuss, vice president and dean of faculties, said. "He is a distinguished leader in thought and action, and we bid him welcome to our campus." Wegman has served in his pres- ent capacity since 1957. He has the major operating and adminis- trative responsibility for coordi- nation of public health activities in 22 Latin American countries. He received his doctor of medi- cine degree at Yale in 1932 and his master of public health degree at the Johns Hopkins University five years later. Author of more than 70 articles in professional journals, he was awarded the Clifford Grillee gold medal in 1958 for "outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics." He also serves as chairman of the editorial board of the "Ameri- can Journal of Public Health," contributing editor of "Pediat- rics," and member of the editorial board of "Advances in Pediat- rics." Note Scorns Explication MOSCOW (A)-The Soviet Un- ion yesterday rejected as "sheer invention" the United States' con- tention that an American RB47 reconnaissance plane was over in- ternational waters when it was shot down by a Soviet fighter July 1. A Soviet note declared Wash- ington was trying to "whitewash the aggressive actions of the American Air Force by deliber- ately distorting the facts." The note was in reply to a United States rejection of Russian charges that the aircraft was on a spy mission similar to that of the U2 high altitude jet which went down in Central Russia May 1. Washington contends the RB47, accused by the Soviet government of violating its air space in the Arctic region of the Kola Penin- sula, actually never was closer than 30 miles to the Soviet coast when it was shot down in the Barents Sea. Moscow scornfully dismissed the* American explanation that the converted six-jet bomber was on an electro magnetic survey to im- prove maps as "not outstanding in its originality." It compared this explanation with those in- itially offered for the flight of the U2. He has taught in the public health departments of Columbia, Cornell and John Hopkins uni- versities, and in medicine at Yale, the School of Tropical Medicine in Puerto Rico, and at Louisiana State University. (Democratic Candidacy, Start Camp aignin Johnson Urges Unity For Nation Praises Party Steps Toward Harmony LOS ANGELES (P)-Sen. Lyn- don B. Johnson appealed last night in accepting the Democratic vice- presidential nomination for na- tional unity, for an end to divi- sions based on regions, religions and races. He said the Democrats in their 1960 convention have "forged new strength for the Democratic party and for the nation." "At the threshold of a new era," the 51-year-old Texan said, "this convention has closed the door on the things which have divided Americans in the past. Sees 'New Day' "We have stepped across-boldly -into what I believe will be a new day of hope and harmony for all Americans - regardless of reli- gion, race, or region." Johnson said that in Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, the party's presidential nominee, "a new star has been born in the leadership skies of the nation." He called Kennedy, whom he battled unsuccessfully for top spot on the ticket, a political genius, a man with the strength of steel, a man of greatness. National Unity But Johnson's basic theme was national unity. The Democratic leader of the Senate during the Republican ad- ministration of President Eisen- hower, Johnson said the Demo- crats had made divided govern- ment work by great effort and patience and "a sense of overrid- ing public responsibility." "But today - as our nation moves into the times we see ahead -you know, I know, all Ameri- cans know that divided govern- ment must end and it will end in January," he said, adding: "We must honor the very key- stone of our government's purpose -the first words of our constitu- tion: 'We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union. . Truman Asks Party Support Of Candidates LOS ANGELES (UP)-Harry Tru- man, who snubbed the Democratic national convention because he felt it was rigged for the nomina- tion of Sen. John F. Kennedy, urged last night that the party close ranks and go to work. "No differences among us, what-: ever they may be, can be import- ant enough to impair out unity at a time when the security and the survival of this nation and of the free world are in jeopardy," he said in a telegram to be read to the convention by its chair- man. Text of the telegram, to Gov. Leroy Collins of Florida, was re- leased by Truman's office in In-' dependence, Mo. Kennedy Blasts Nixon Generalities Presidential Aspirant Insists Catholicism Will Not Bias Action LOS ANGELES COLISEUM (M) --Sen. John F. Kennedy formally accepted the Democratic presi- dential nomination last night, blasting Vice-President Richard Nixon with this opening gun of his campaign. Boldly, he also brought to the fore the issue of his.Roman Cath- olic faith. Of Nixon, he said: "His approach is as old as Mc- Kinley. His party is the party of the past. His speeches are gen-M. alities from Poor Richard's Alma- nac." On the mattre of his religion, Kennedy said: "I am fully aware of the, fact that the Democratic party, by nominating someone of my faith, has taken on what many regard as a new and hazardous risk... . It is not relevant what pressures, if any, might conceivably be brought to bear on me. I am tell- ing you now ... that my decision on every public policy will be my own-as an American, a Demo- crat, and a free man." A crowd that appeared to num- ber around 60,000 was in the coli- seum. It seats about 105,000. The sun was still high above the west rim of the' stadium when Kennedy entered. He received an ovation, volleying thunders of applause, as he circled the big bowl, riding in an automobile. Seated with him were Sen. Lyne don Johnson, who received the nomination for vice president; Speaker of the House Sam Ray- burn; Rep. James Roosevelt of California, Adla Stevenson, and Sens. Hubert Humphrey of Min- nesota and Stuart Symington, of Missouri. In his speech, Kennedy said he was less concerned with the Re-. publicans and the past than with the challenge of the future. Rockefeller Nominees Accept r' -AP Wirephoto DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE-Sen. John F. Kennedy last night officially accepted his nomination to, the presidency with a speech calling for Americans to be new pioneers on the New Frontier of a changing and challenging world..He bid for party unity, Jabbed at the Republicans, and met head on the question of his Roman Catholic religion which had troubled many delegates. WITHOUT AGREEMENT: Scientists' Federation Fears Nuclear Ruin WASHINGTON (P)-A group of American scientists foresees a nuclear holocaust within 15 years if the United States fails to "make more creative and intensive efforts" for arms control agreements with Russia. In a statement today on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the first atomic bomb explosion, the Federation of American Scientists declared: "It appears unlikely that the world will avoid a nuclear holo- caust if another fifteen years pass without arms control agreements." The Federation, which describes itself as a nationwide organi- zation of 2,000 scientists and engineers "concerned with the inter- U.S. Assails Russian Demand Against West as 'Intemperate' WASHINGTON (-p)-The United States assailed as "intemperate, misleading and irresponsible" yesterday Nikita Khrushchev's newest demand that the West stop its alleged aggression against the Congo. "This is yet another example of the current Soviet attempt to inflame the international atmosphere," the State department said. The department fired back in blunt language at accusations the Soviet premier made in a message today to the Congo government. In it, Khrushchev said Russia is ready to act "if these states which are carrying on direct aggression against the Congo do not stop their criminal measures." Top state department officials clearly were incensed by Khrushchev's comments. They described his charges relations of science and world af- fairs," asserted: "Although it has been United States policy to seek arms control1 as a method of preventing war, we have not supported that policy' with the necessary conviction and devotion. ,-, - "Our government has not un- dertaken on a sufficient scale the hard work- and intensive research that are necessary for an informed political judgment on specific arms control proposals. Favors Disarmament "Our country is unquestionably in favor of disarmament in prin- ciple. But we seem to fear specif- ic steps because we do not know what risk or gain each such step may imply. "In short, we have failed to organize the basic Information and critical and creative thought necessary to the formulation of arms control proposals based on clear recognition of facts. Fur- thermore, we are unable to antici- pate or analyze adequately such counterproposals as the Russians have offered or may yet offer." Convention 'Gloomi Lifts LOS ANGELES OP)-The gloom that enveloped Michigan dele- gates to the Democratic conven- tion over selection of Lyndon Johnson for vice-president began to lift yesterday. Sen. Philip A. Hart, serving his second year as a colleague of the Texas senator, said: "The way to look at it is that we came away with favorable an- swers to two of the three main questions we came out here to an- swer. "We got the presidential nomi- nee we wanted and an excellent platform for him to run on. "As for the effect of the vice- presidential nominee on an elec- tion's outcome, there are some who had studied the matter who believe it is next to nil. Few think it amounts to very much." Japan's Kishi Steps Down With Cabinet T 0 K Y 0 (P)-Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi and his cabinet resigned shortly before midnight yesterday. Sixty-year-old Hayato Ikeda, pro-Western trade and industry minister in the outgoing cabinet, will be named the new prime min- ister at an extraordinary Diet (parliament) session convening Monday. Ikeda, whose tough economic policies helped speed Japan's eco- nomic recovery, qualified for the premiership by succeeding Kishi as president of the Liberal-Dem- ocratic party Thursday. Ikeda's election by the Diet is assured, since the Liberal-Democrats have a majority. The Kishi cabinet met for its final session last night to as- semble the resignation notices and take them to Kishi's hospital bed- side for his seal and signature. Kishi was knifed by an ultrana- tionalist Thursday and suffered flesh wounds in the left thigh which doctors say will take at least two weeks to heal. The resignation, ending Kishi's 3/2 years in office, was an anti- climactic finale to a political crisis sparked by ratification of the new United States-Japan se- curity treaty last May 20. The brief extraordinary Diet session-it is expected to last not more than five days-became nec- essary when the Socialists re- fused to attend an election session prior to the expiration of the reg- ular Diet session last night. Pressured Cuban Claims Russia Offers Help to Nation HAVANA WP) - Cuba's Director of National Agrarian Deform last night assailed an Argentine note asking Cuba to reject Soviet med- dling in hemisphere affairs. He also said he had Soviet Pre- mier Nikita S. Khrushchev's per- sonal assurances of Russian help if Cuba should be attacked. Capt. Antonio Nunez Jimenez, speaking on a TV panel program, called the Argentine note inter- vention in Cuba's internal affairs. Nunez Jimenez said Cuba could not reject a Russian offer of help because it would be "a sacrilege." "The Soviet Union's offer places our military potential on an even basis with the United States," Nunez Jimenez said. "Thus if they, invade us they'll find not only six million Cubans before them but also 230 million Russians and peo- ples from all over the world who are behind us." He said Argentine President Ar- turo Frondizi, instead of sending a note to Cuba, should have "gone to Eisenhower to tell him to re- ject invasion plans against Cuba." Nune JmpnP7' r-m.rk ursr 4as the worst kind of back alley diplomacy. Countering Khrushchev's blast, the department said that far from committing aggression the United. States is moving swiftly with the United Nations to meet the Con- go's appeal for help to end the bloodshed. Accuses Kremlin It accused the Kremlin of "de- laying tactics" aimed at disrupt- ing the United Nation's move while posing as thesingle-handed friend of the riot-plagued, 15-day- old nation. "We are gratified that the United Nations has moved despite Soviet delaying tactics to take constructive and effective action direct toward, meeting the re- quest of the Republic of Congo for assistance," the State Depart- ment said. "Like the independent African states, the United States is sup- porting fully the United Nations efforts to help the people of the Congo."

REGENTS APPROVE CONTRACTS: Cyclotron, SAB Construction Scheduled LOS ANGELES (M--Repblicans began putting pressure' on Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller yesterday to take second place on a presidential ticket headed by Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. But they may need more than the example of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson's acceptance of the Dem- ocratic vice-presidential nomina- tion to put their drive across. In some ways the New York governor and the Texas senator are in similar political positions. Both are big men in their parties, with special appeals to some seg- ments of the electorate. Johnson obvously was chosen by Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas- sachusetts, the Democratic presi-' dential nominee, to help the party ticket in the South, where some difficultshoals appear to lie ahead. As a middle of the roader, John- son is credited with having some appeal to Republican voters. But* it is doubtful that his presence on the, ticket will lure any sizable number of them to support Ken- nedy. Rockefeller's high political value to the Republicans lies in his demonstrated ability to attract in- dependent votes. He had to have more than regular Republican sup- port to get elected governor of New York. Since he has been in that post Rockefeller has been talking at times like a Democrat. He has as- sailed the Eisenhower administra- tion's defense program in words strikingly similar to those used by Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri and other Democrats. famed Opera The Regents yesterday approved contracts for the construction of housing for a forthcoming high-energy cyclotron and an addition. to the Student Activities Building. The cyclotron, which will use 40 million electron-volts to produce beams of high-speed particles, will be constructed by the Henry deKon- ing Construction Company, of Ann Arbor, lowest bidder on the project. Cost for the completed structure with equipment, utility construc- tion, architects fees and other charges will be $1.1 million. It will be financed by appropriation from the State Legislature. The cyclotron, which is provided for in a bill pending in the Senate and already approved by the House of Representatives, will be paid for through a grant of $1.8 million from the Atomic Energy Commission. Construction on the building will begin in a few weeks, and the cyclotron and its housing both should be ready for use within two years, according to Prof. William Parkinson of the physics department. President Harlan Hatcher called the University's cyclotron pro- '~Lr ~ ~ km a~
