lection, given to the University in
1911 by Jo Labadie, an early Mich-
igan anarchist and labor leader.
Though the Collection's strong
point is still anarchist literature,
it has grown to include material
relating to a great variety of pro-
test movements and similar organ-
izations.
According to Muller, the pro-
ject was undertaken in part be-
cause of the resources available in
the Labadie Collection. It, in turn,
benefited the Collection by identi-
fying a few serial publications that
had not been collected previously.
Initial money for the book was
provided by a grant, to the editor
from the Jackson Social Welfare
Fund, a locally based fund in Ann
Arbor, administered by the First
Unitarian Church.

LEGISLATIVE DEBATE CONTINUES:
Democrats Indicate Agreement
On State Income Tax 'Unlikely

Daily News Analysis
The state Legislature has less
than two weeks to take action on
the $233 million question of fiscal
reform and on the scores of pro-
visions in a billion dollars worth
of spending bills.
Indications yesterday were that
most Democratic legislators be-
lieve agreement on the income tax
portion of the bill is as unlikely
now as it wastwo months ago,
when the House rejected the bill
in a roll call vote and sent it to
the Senate for action.
The Senate passed the bill in
mid-May, hoping to get to con-
sidereration of the state appro-
priations budget, but Legislators

have watched important debate
on the fiscal problem into name-
calling sessions and fruitless man-
euvering.
For the lack of six Democratic
votes to make up for six opposing
Republicans, the bill's backers
have tried one time-consuming
compromise after another while
the budget has been ignored last
week, it appeared Democrats
would agree to the measure if
its two and a half per cent income
tax provisions could be put to a
public referendum next year.
But, state Attorney General
Frank Kelley struck down this one
hope of a quick settlement yes-
terday when he ruled that the
Legislature has no authority to

ATLANTA, GA.-Gunfire and rock-throwing erupted last
night in a racially tense Negro neighborhood shortly after hun-
dreds turned out from a church were Stokely Carmichael
urged them; to "play it cool."
As the Negroes streamed back from the church through a
shopping center where racial incidents occurred in the two pre-
vious nights, the hail of rocks bounced off police cars and
around officers patrolling the area.
All available reinforcements were called into the area im-
mediately.
NINETY-FIVE POLICEMEN reported themselves ill yes-
terday in a continuing fight aimed at winning a pay raise from
their present top scale of $7,335 a year to $10,000.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Police Officers Association, the
policemen's union, brought a $1 million damage suit against the
city and the Police Department for alleged harassment of pen-
alized officers.

call a special public referendum
on any legislation it passes.
No matter what the outcome
of the work toward another com-
promise this week, a vote in the
House is expected tommorrow or
Thursday. If the bill passes in
any form, it will go to a joint Sub-
committee on Fiscal Reform,
which will join the Senate and
House versions of the bill into a
proposal which will go to
Romney for signature. Romney
has claimed that he will approve
almost any "reasonable" means
of increasing the" state revenues.
In the meantime, Romney has
ordered movement of the budget
bills from the House and Senate
committees for floor debates. The
$663.5 million houseportion of
the Appropriations budget was
reported out of Committee on
Friday despite the unclear status
of state revenues for next year's
programs.
The total value of the two sets
of measures as they now stand
is $1,075, which is about $75 mil-
lion less than Romney requested
in his original budget. But, if
fiscal reform fails to gain approv-
al, the total amount will be slash-
ed to about $880 million on a so-
called "austerity budget" and cut
state programs 15 per cent across
the board.
The University's $62.2 million
budget request would be affected
by ths cut and University presi-
dent Harlan Hatcher has reported
that whenever the Legislature
works on the request, part of the
Senate request appropriations ac-
tion, the regents will meet to
plan the University budget for
the next year in detail.
The University may send a
delegation before the Senate to
present the case for increased
appropriations. The bill is expect-
ed out of the Senate committee
next Monday.
The problem with the whole op-
eration, with two weeks to go, is
time. Both parties are so alienated
at present, that fast action can-
not be expected on the budget.
The budget must be signed by the
governor on July 15 for the new
fiscal year, which begins July 1.
If a party split continues the
state, according to one legislator,
"would grind to a halt."

Kosygin Says
Cannot See
Johnson
'Unable To Accept'
President's Invitation
To Hold Conference
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet
Premier Alexei Kosygin was re-
ported last night to have sent
word to President Johnson that
he is unable at this time to accept
the President's invitation to visit
him.
Administration officials said
Kosygin explained in his response
through diplomatic channels that
he came to the United States to
attend the United Nations special
General Assembly meeting on the
the Middle East and not for the
purpose of making a visit to
American officials.
Invitation Open
So far as could be determined
last night the President's invitat-
ion is still open, however, and
should the Soviet premier later
find that he is able to meet with
Johnson a session still could be
arranged, administration officials
indicated.
Johnson's invitation to Kosy-
gin was said to have been extend-
ed last weekend. Kosygin arrived
in New York early Saturday to
attend the assembly session on the
Middle East which Russia had re-
quested.
No Official Notice
The White House had not re-
ceived direct official notice of his
coming although he was the chief
Soviet official of the delegation
which obtained American visas
at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
It was through that means the
President knew of Kosygin's in-
tention to head the Soviet del-
egation.

Encouraged Israel in

-Associated Press
DELEGATES FROM THE UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC sat next to those of the Soviet Union in
U.N. General Assembly yesterday. The Soviet Union requested the meeting to demand that the
assembly punish Israel by ordering its forces to yield all Arab territory won in battle. Debate fol-
lowed and the only decision reached was to meet again today.

To Order Israeli Army
From Arab Territory
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP)
- Premier Alexe N. Kosygin
charged yesterday that the Unte4
States encouraged Israel to de
Clare war on the Arabs. He de-
manded that the U.N. General As-
sembly order Israel to get its
troops out of conquered territory
and pay the Arabs for damage
done.
Israel promptly countered that
the Soviet Union for years has
armed the Arabs and encouraged
them in their announced aim of
destroying Israel.
U.S. Ambassador Arthur - J
Goldberg also rejected Kosygin's
charges, made in a speech before
a special emergency session of
the 122-nation General Assembly,.
called by Moscow.
Kosygin heard most of Israel's
rebuttal but had left before Gold-
berg took the rostrum and made
his reply.
U.S. Position
The U.S. chief delegate declared
that the basic position of the
United States had been set forth
a short time earlier in Washing-
ton by President Johnson. "I
am content to leave it to all here
to compare the temper and con-
tent of what these two leaders
have said," Goldberg stated.
The session was also marked
by a denunciation of the pro-
Arab policy of the Soviet Union by
Abba Eban, the Israeli foreign
minister. Eban charged the Rus-
sians with blind support of the
Arabs regardless of the conse-
quences for peace.
Kosygin left the hall just be-
fore Eban finished his speech. But
Soviet officials said it was not °
a walkout aimed at Eban, and the
other Communist delegates stayed
to listen, including some members
of the Soviet delegation.
Russian Attack
Kosygin delivered an over-all
attack on U.S. foreign policy, n-
cluding Vietnam, saying it risked
plunging the world into nuclear
war. But he saved his harshest
words for the Israelis and allega-
tions of support by both the Uni-
ted States and Brittain for the
Jewish state.
He introduced a resolution that
called on the assembly to con-
demn Israel as an aggressor and
order Israeli troops to give up all
the territory gained in Egypt,
Jordan and Syria in the six-day
war that ended June 10.
He added a new demand - that
the assembly order Israel to make
full restitution within the shortest

WASHINGTON (P) - President
Johnson laid down a five-point;
outline for peace in the Middle;
East yesterday, pitting U.S. dip-
lomatic support for Israel against
Soviet backing of the Arab states
in the aftermath of the Israeli-
Arab war.
In the start of what promises
to be a long battle, the President
rejected Soviet and Arab demands
for immediate withdrawal of Is-'
raeli forces from conquered ter-
ritory as a condition for settle-
ment,

time U.S policy on this issue

ciples" on which he said peace
should be based in that crisis
area:
"First, the recognized right of
national life.
"Second, justice for the refugees.
"Third, innocent maritime pas-
sage.
"Fourth, limits on the wasteful
and destructive arms race.
'And fifth, political independ-
ence and territorial integrity for
all."
Johnson gave progress reports
on Latin America, Europe and
Asia and said the United States

had "made great progress in en-
larging the arena of common ac-
tion with the Soviet Union." In a
sense he was bidding for new
evidence of common action from
Kosygin, and he specifically men-
tioned hope for a treaty to ban the
spread of nuclear weapons and an
agreement to prevent an anti-
ballistic missile arms race.
Without specifically citing Egyp-
tian President Gamal Abdel Nas-
ser's recent threats to destroy Is-
rael in "a holy war" Johnson said
that each nation "must accept the
right of others to life."

A public hearing was -held at
last night's meeting of Ann Arbor

The Board report referred to sec.
8:511 of the code, which states,
"the building official may, without

-Board said it was their "under-I
standing that a recent Supreme
Court decision would deny thisj
right without a warrant."
