'FESTIVE BUT SERIOUS:'
Washington Rally Unites
30,000 Israel Supporters'
By JENNY STILLER
Special To The Daily
WASHINGTON-A festive but
serious atmosphere prevailed in
Lafayette Square yesterday as
30,000 people from all over the
United States gathered to express
their support for Israel.
The crowd was more diverse
than is usual for Washington
demonstrations. Participants rang-
ed from college students to busi-
A nessmen, housewives, school chil-
dren, and young couples carrying
b bies. Several Negroes, uniformed
servicemen, and Hasidic Jews
completed the picture.
The recent Israeli victories gave
the meeting a holiday air. Enter-
prising novelty peddlers did a
brisk business in Israeli and Amer-
ican flags and buttons saying
everything from "Long Live Is-
rael" to "To Hell With Nasser"
The demonstration officially
opened with the singing of "Ha-
tikva," Israel's national anthem,
and the "Star-Spangled Banner."

NEWS WIRE*
TWO FORMER UNIVERSITY students charged with anti-
draft activities, James Russo, 20, and Stan Nadel, 22, stood mute
at their arraignment yesterday morning in U.S. district court.
Their pleas were entered in the court record as not guilty. They
were both released on $5000 personal bond. No trial date has
been set.
Russo, indicted Wednesday in Detroit's federal court on four
counts, was arrested that day, and spent the night in the Wayne
County"jail.'Nadel, charged with only one count, had given
himself up to the authorities yesterday morning in Detroit. The
FBI was still looking for him Wednesday night with a warrant
for his arrest.
THE MICHIIGAN SUPREME COURT is expected to make a
ruling today which may decide whether the state will go on
Daylight Savings Time. The court is scheduled to hear oral
arguments on the issue this morning.
If the court rejects a move to block certification of petitions
seeking a vote on the time issue, the matter again will be in the
laps of the State Board of Canvassers. Earlier, the board made
no ruling on the validity of petitions submitted requesting that
the time-change issue be placed on the November 1968 ballot.
Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley has given the opinion that the in-
stant the board validates the petitions, the state will go on Day-
light Savings Time.
Then speakers were introduced,
among them were a representative
of A. Phillip Randolph and Joseph
Bierne, president of the Com-
munications Workers of America.
They declared, respectively, that
"millions of black Americans' and
"over 15 million trade unionists"
were standing behind the people
of Israel.
Also present were several Mem-
bers of Congress, including Sens.
Birch Bayh (D-Ind), Clifford Case
(R-NJ), Vance Hartke (D-Ind),
and Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn).
Many speakers agreed with Sen.
Gale McGee (D-Wyo), who called
the cause of Israel "an issue for all
mankind," while others, chiefly
rabbinical appeals, were more
Zionist in nature.
Rabbi Israel Meyer's claim that
the Middle East crisis and the
demonstration had united the
Jewish people "as never before in
American Jewish history" was per-
haps the most significant observa-
tion of the day. All three branches
of modern Judaism were repre-
sented by men ranging from
bearded Hasidim to suburban com-
muters who stifled yawns during
prayers and quotations in Hebrew.
The entire skullcaped student
body of the Hebrew Academy of
Washington contrasted with the
college student overheard telling
a companion, "I don't really know
why I'm here. I'm not a Zionist,
and I never go to synagogue."
The crowd began to get restless!
from standing in the hot sun, and
near constant motion resulted. Or-1
ganized groups and individuals
carried home-made signs declaring
that "Israel is here to stay"
Suddenly, around mid-afternoon
those with transistor radios called
out the news that the United Arab
Republic had accepted the United
Nations' cease-fire. When the an-
nouncement was made from the'
podium, the reaction was spon-
taneous and ecstatic. The strains'
of "Hatikva" again filled the park.1

Overconfident Egyptians Saddened
As Nasser Refuses to Comment

Syria early today joined Egypt and Jordan in accepting a cease
fire in the face- of a triumphant Israeli air and tank blitz that ma
go down in history as the Four-Day War.
The official Damascus radio said an emergency session of th
Council of Ministers decided to take Syria out of a conflict that sa'
Jordan bow out Wednesday, to be followed yesterday by Egypt, th
main Arab combatant.
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser was silent in the fact o
the debacle. Yesterday's defeat was his second humiliation as presi
dent in 11 years at the hands of Israel's air and desert legions.

ISRAELI SOLDIERS SEARCH prisoners lined u p against a wall in the Old City sector of Jerusalem
yesterday. The Jordanian sector of the city was captured, and occupied Wednesday by the Israeli
forces. Jordan and the United Arab Republic have agreed to a cease-fire with Israel, apparently
ending their four-day war.
CitySGC, GradsPlan
Be tier Communications,
Monday.
The announcement came mid-
way through a regular postmid-
night news broadcast.
The announcer read without
elaboration a news dispatch from
New York reporting Egypt's note
to UN Secretary-General U Thant
accepting the Security Council's
call for a cease-fire.
Most Vocifrous
In Damascus, the Syrians, who
had been most vocifrous in sup-
port of the war, kept up belligerent
broadcasts until morning when the
official radio beamed out the news
of the cease-fire.
Damascus radio said the Syrian
decision was taken at an emer-
gency Cabinet session. Agreements
of the three major Arab allies to
the cease-fire came on consecutive
days.
The announcement, at 4:20 a.m.
Damascus time, came just five
hours after the Egyptian accept-
ance of the truce had been an-
nounced at the United Nations.
No Reference
Accepting the cease-fire, Egypt
made no reference in the Security
Council to the Soviet Union's de-
mands that Israel withdraw its
troops to the 1949 armistice lines.
Such action would have forced
the Israelis to give up, without
any compensating factor, huge
areas their troops overran from
the Suez Canal and the Red Sea

Ann Arbor City Administrator
Guy C. Larcom Jr. will meet with
S t u d e n t Government Council
President Bruce Kahn and Roy
Ashmall, president of the Gradu-
ate Assembly, Wednesday to dis-
cuss communication between the
city and University students. The
City Council authorized the pro-j
ject at Monday night's meeting.
"The students need a closer link
with city government as opposed
to a link between the University

administration and city govern-
ment," Kahn explained. "We want
answers to our questions on hous-
ing, zoning laws and food prices.
As itt is now, we get this infor-
mation only second or third
hand."
Ashmall noted that nearly half
the students at the University are
not eligible to vote, but are in-
cluded in the population of. Ann
Arbor.
"These students comprise nearly
15 per cent of the total population
of the city, but have no means
of representation in determining
city policy which affects them,"
he said. "A student-city liaison
could provide them with this
needed representation," he ex-
plained.
Impetus for the project came
from Kahn and Ashmall, who
wrote the council in May asking
that a standing committee con-
sisting of student representatives
and members of City Council be
formed.
Larcom told the council at that
time that he felt most of the
problems which students would be
interested in "could best be han-
dled through (city) administra-
tive channels" rather than by the
council directly. Kahn and Ash-
mall both agreed to this.
Decide Membership
Ashmall indicated that the
purpose of next Wednesday's
meeting will be to decide what
type of city personnel should be
on the committee.
Student members of the com-
mittee have not yet been ap-
pointed. Ashmall said Graduate
Assembly will appoint interim
representatives until September,
when petitioning for the positions
will- be -opened. Ashmall plans to
have a report prepared for every
graduate student to explain the
proposed committee and to invite
them to petition.
Ashmall said that a proposed
new city housing ordinance and
ways of streamlining the city's
registration procedure would be
among the first items to be con-
sidered by the new committee.

Where the Candidates Stand
By HELEN JOHNSON
More than 3700 professors and
members of American academic
communities signed a statement
supporting "Israel's integrity."
The statement was first sug-
gested by William Haber, dean
of the literary college. It appear-
ed in a two-page advertisement
in yesterday's New York Times
along with the names of the sign-
prs, including 150 University fac-
ulty members.
The statement read: "The block-
ade of the Straits of Tiran and
the Gulf of Aqaba is an attack
on the very life of the state of
Israel and its people. It is also
an attack on principles of inter-
national law and order, without
which the condition of the world
becomes a condition of war every
one against every one."
According to Haber, signatures
and vocal approvals were obtain-
ed about four days before the
outbreak of hostilities. A Univer-
sity professor said Haber's idea
sprang from discussions held at
Beth Israel, an Ann Arbor syna-
gogue.
Haber said he suggested a state-
ment be printed to "a friend" at a
Jewish New York university." He
added that he did not hear about
the formation of the Ad Hoc Com-
mittee of American Professors
which obtained the names until
they asked him for support.
The statement said that respon-
sible members of the academic
community could not stand by in
silence in the face of Arab threats.
"We therefore call upon the ad-
ministration and Congress of the
United States firmly to maintain
the commitment to safeguard the
integrity of the State of Israel and
to restore the freedom of passage
through the Gulf of Aqaba, an
international waterway," the ad-
vertisement continued.
"It's a sign of the times," com-
mented Dr. Bernard Agranoff,
medical school professor in refer-
-ence to the statement. He ex-
plained, "Current events are hav-
ing a unifying effect on the aca-
demic community, and this ad is
just a manifestation of it. In this
case, we all felt we should pro-
mote the solution offered by the
Kahn To Speak to Freshmen
On Student Activism Functi~on_
Fresmen coming to the Univer-
sity for summer orientation, which
starts June 11, are going to have
a quick initiation into the philo-
sophy of student involvement, ac-
cording to Bruce Kahn, '68, pres-
ident of Student Government
Council.
Kahn will speak to each group
of freshmen and distribute a
booklet explaining the role of SGC
of student activism at the Univer-
sity. "The University has ignored
the ramifications of teaching stu-
dents how to think for them-
selves," Kahn said. "Students are
taught to be critical, but are told
not to turn this criticism inward
on the University itself.
"Criticism is the role of student
organizations, and I am going to
ask the freshmen not to look downI
in the fall. Some programs to be
mentioned are a proposed draft
counseling service providing stu-
dents with information on avail-
able alternatives to military serv-
ice and a "consumers union" to
conduct price studies within the
city.
In addition to hearing Kahn
speak, freshmen will also have
an opportunity to learn about stu-
