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 Kos ygin Charges .S. Aid By WALLACE IMMEN 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 NEWS. WIRE Late World News By The Associated Press 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. MICHIGAN SELECTIVE SERVICE boards will order 2,129 regular registrants to report for induction into the Army in August. The August call is the highest since last November when 2,923 men were called and compares with 1,167 ordered to report in July and 1,174 in June. 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. Johnson Lays Down Five-Point Peace Outline for Middle East. War Reparations From Israel Demanded Asks UN Assembly 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 -mI ,n mA h mfnr all the anmae 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, Then he spelled out for the first 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." PUBLIC HEARING: Graduate Assembly, I Opinions on Housing By JILL CRABTREE 4 and ANN MUNSTER A public hearing was -held at last night's meeting of Ann Arbor City Council on a proposed hous- ing ordinance for the city. Council discussed communications from Graduate Assembly and the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors regarding the ordinance, and heard com- ments and complaints from mem- bers of the audience., Ann Arbor presently operates under the state housing law, which was enacted in 1917.
