SATURDAY, NOVEMBER: 9, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY MGE THREE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1986 THE MICHIGAN DAILY IiLGE THREE Question Of Seating China Raised Again Italians Propose New Committee To Seek Answer for China UNITED NATIONS (P)-Italy proposed yesterday that the Gen- 15 era] Assembly create a small, high- level study committee to devise a practical method for breaking the 16-year-old impasse over seating Communist China. Attilio Piccioni, Italian senator and former foreign minister, made the proposal as the 121-nation assembly opened its annual debate on Chinese representation. He said it would provide a fresh approach to the problem. Cambodia introduced the usual pro-Peking resolution calling on the assembly to admit the Chinese Communists and expel the Chinese Nationalists. It is expected to fail with perhaps a larger margin of no votes than last year. Cool Reaction Initial reaction to the Italian proposal was cool on almost all sides. Supporters of Peking said it was a delaying action because the committee would report back to the next General Assembly. A U.S. spokesman was noncommital. Picconi told the assembly that one factor inhibiting the situation was uncertainty over attitude of Peking toward U.N. membership. Therefore, he added, the com- mittee should direct its inquiry along' these lines: Does Peking really want to be in the United Nations? If the answer is yes, will is abide by the provisions of the U.N. Charter? The third query,. he said, "Is what can and must be the posi- tion" of Nationalist China. Italy Supports Vote He said Italy would vote against the pro-Peking resolution, and also support the U.S. position that approval requires a two-thirds ma- jority. Piccioni made no direct ref- erence to a "two-Chinas" approach to the problem, now the subject of private conferences among U.N. diplomats probing still another course of action for the assembly. Under this plan, Communist China'would be admitted and given the big power Security Coun- cil seat held by Nationalist China, which would retain its seat in the assembly as representative of the government of Formosa. No Two Chinas Wei Tao-ming, foreign minister or Nationalist China, declared rtegorically that a two-China solution was unacceptable to his government. Wei said the creation of the "Red Guards" on the Chinese mainland was proof that the Pe- king government was i n deep trouble. "Far from making the Chinese Communists more moderate in words and deeds, such a proposal would strengthen their belief that they are indeed invincible, and that their policy of aggression has paid off," he added.

Rusk left the door open to a brief Christmas truce in Viet Nam but said that any long-term halt in bomb raids was impossible at this time. Italy's Po Valley Staggers Under Newtu Floods,. Storms. Says Brief Holiday Pause Possible But No Bomb Halt Seen WASHINGTON W) - Secretary of State Dean Rusk held the door open yesterday to a possible brief Christmas truce in the war in Viet Nam, though he ruled out any long pause in bombing North Viet Nam under present circumstances. Rusk told a news conference that actual decisions on a Christ- mas lull would depend on what the South Vietnamese wanted to do and also to some extent on the Viet Cong-the Communist forces figthing the allies in South Viet Nam. His discussion of the possibilities covered not only Christmas but also "Tet," the traditional new year period in Viet Nam which comes a few weeks after Christ- mas. Asked specifically about a holi- day halt in the fighting next month, Rusk said, "We ought to distinguish between what might happen at Christmas and the idea of a general pause such as we had a year ago." No Indication "We've not been able to get any indicationfrom the other side on what would happen if the bombing of North Viet Nam stopped." He added that this was not for a lack of contact because "we've tried almost every week since last January." On other subjects Rusk told questioners: 1. The United States is "very much disturbed" by the conditions under which a Czech-born Amer- ican citizen was recently pulled off a Soviet airplane at Prague and put under arrest. "We do 'not like the circum- stances of this man's treatment," Rusk declared. He said the United States is asking explanations from the Soviet Union as well as Czechoslovakia concerning the case of V. J. Kazan-Komarek, president of the Harvard Travel Service in Cambridge, Mass. Miscalculation? 2. The whole Communist world apparently has avoided a "mis- calculation" of the importance of the Nov. 8 elections on U.S. policy in Viet Nam. Rusk said the Com- munists seem to understand that the election does not have any significant effect on U.S. policy. 3. President Johnson feels that in spite of differences with East European countries over Viet Nam the United States must "keep probing" the Soviet Union and the other countries for possible new agreements. 4. The United States hopes for early agreement with the Soviet Union in the United Nations on 9 pact to outlaw military bases and operatioins in outer space. Rusk also expressed continuing hope for a treaty to ban the spread of nu- clear weapons but said a conclu- BONN, West Germany (R)-A new West German chancellor, a new foreign policy, and a new upsurge of the extreme right-all three could emerge from a state election Sunday in Bavaria. Coming at the height of a po- litical crsis in Bonn, the vote will have a magnified effect in na- tional politics. West German leaders are looking for a new chancellor to replace Ludwig Er- hard and a new combination of ministers under him. The upsurge on the far right and the foreign criticism sure to follow are dreaded by most West Germans. The rightist Nationall Democratic party is expected to show its greatest strenth in the region around Nuernberg, once the shrine of the Nazis; and Bay- reuth, home of Adolf Hitler's favorite composer and poet-- Richard Wagner. The People Decide The voters will be choosing the 204 members of the legislature in a state with a population of about 10 million. The politicians will be watching the effect on ex-Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss and' his bid to shift West Germany to a line more favorable to French President Charles de Gaulle. Strauss is not running in Bav- aria himself but he leads the local wing of the Christian Democratic party, called the Christian Social Union. But he sees a major post in the next Cabinet. Strauss helped make Kurt Georg Kiesing- er the Christian Democrat choice for chancellor, and Kiesinger has publicly promised him his re- ward. But Kiesinger does not have the toy job yet. Whether he gets it will be clearer after the Bav- arian results are in. CDU vs SPD In Bavaria, as in Bonn, the Christian Democrat' main foes are the social Democrats hold a clear majority in the legislature by the Social Democrats have been creep- ing up on them in recent years. If they creep up much further Sunday, and especially if the Christian Democrats lose their ab- solute majority, Strauss will have singer's promise. And Kiesinger, himself, might have to give up his candidacy for the chancellorship. The Christian Democrats have 110 seatshin the legislature, the Social Democrats 79, the Free Democrats 10 and the Bavarian party five. Prospects are for a small ad- vance of the Social Democrats and a small decline for the Chris- tian Democrats. Some observers are predicting that the small par- ties will lose all their seats to the National Democrats, the new par- ty of the extreme right which showed surprising strength two weeks ago in the State of Hesse. Mayor Willey Brandt of West Virginia Asks High Court IBar Miscegenation Case ROVIGO, Italy ()-The stormy Adriatic heaped more misery on flood-stricken Italy yesterday, flooding the Po River delta on the wings of gales and driving 10,000 persons from their homes. Northeast winds of more than 60 miles an hour pushed the sea- over weakened dikes. Officials said the broad delta south of Venice would not have one, square inch of dry land if the weather kept up. More than 48 hours of driving rain lashed the islands formed by 10 branches of the mighty Po River, where it empties into the Adriatic. The second straight day of stormy weather in the area ham- pered hundreds of soldiers and civilians who had labored since the disastrous Nov. 4 floods to re- pair and strengthen the miles of earthen levees that ring the is- earthen levees that ring the islands. Call Off Repairs Officials called off repair work on Thursday's break in a dike near the town of Scardovari be- cause of rough water and danger from barges that had been sunk by waves offshore. Operations continued to build up the sides of other dikes and to evacuate the population. More than 10,000 persons have been taken to higher ground in the past two days. The new crisis in the Po delta came two weeks after the most ex- tensive floods in Italy's history had swamped the north and cen- tral regions. Many residents of the battered delta had been back in their homes for only a few days when the new storm broke. The delta towns of Scardovari and Bonelli, with a total popula- tion of 5,000 were completely flooded. As relief work continued fran- tically in the delta, President Gui-' seppe Saragat continued his tour of flood-stricken areas of the north. He visited the Cordeovole River Valley in the Dolomites north of Belluno, where the floods devast- ated three mountain resorts and killed 22 persons. Courage, Courage "Courage. Courage. We will help you," Saragat told villagers who had lost everything. Berlin, head of the Social Dem- ocrat party, has attacked Kiesin- ger for tieing himself too closely to Strauss. And on the devious- paths of West German politics, the Social Democrats, meet the Christian Democrats not only as foes but as potential allies. There is a strong possibility the next government in Bonn will be a "grand coalition" of the two major parties. Strauss has been praised as the must brilliant man in West Ger- man politics, attacked as over- ambitious, and criticized as lack- ing afeeling for politics in a dem- ocracy. His feuds and lawsuits are major features of the political landscape. The government has set up a 500-billion lire - $800 million - program to aid the stricken re- gions and has increased gasoline and income taxes to pay for it. Some critics of the government have declared that the aid pro- gram is too ,small to rebuild the wrecked economy of the one-third of the nation hit by the floods. As Premier Aldo Moro toured mud-clogged Florence, the hardest hit of scores of flood-damaged communities, Florence Mayor Piero Bargellini was asked by a reporter if he was satisfied with the' gov- ernment's aid to the city. "The wife is always unhappy with the money the husband gives her for shopping," he replied, "but then she realizes that the poor man couldn't do any better." WASHINGTON (k) - Virginia has asked the Supreme Court to turn aside a major challenge to state laws barring interracial mar- riages. Defending the state's ban on mixed marriages, Virginia officials said various federal and state courts already have held that such laws do not violate the "equal pro- tection" guarantee of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. "Any judicial inquiry into the wisdom, propriety or desirability of preventing interracial alliances is utterly forbidden," Virginia Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Button told the court yesterday in a brief. Eighteen states have antimis- cegenation laws. The Supreme Court never has ruled on their constitutionality. It is being asked to do so now by a white bricklayer and his part-Negro, part-Indian wife. Responding to the court's re- quest for a defense of the Virginia Law, Button said: "The Virginia statues here un- der attack reflect a policy which' has obtained in this common- wealth for over two centuries and of the fifty states of the Union. "They have stood--compatible with the 14th Amendment, though expressly attacked thereunder - since that amendment was adopt- ed. Under such circumstances, it is clear that the challenge enact- ments infringe no constitutional right." The couple, Richard Loving, and his wife, the former Mildred Jeter, 26, contend the law Is invalid because it makes "the color of a person's skin the test of whether his marriages constitutes a crim- inal offense." The Lovings were married in Washington, D.C., in 1958 because they could not get a license in Virginia. They returned tortheir home state, were ingicted for vio- lation of the antimiscegenatfon law and pleaded guilty. One-year prison terms were suspended on condition they leave Virginia for 25 years. The Lovings moved to Washington, but in 1963 they returned to their home in Virginia's Carolina County and, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, began a legal attacc on the law. some troumle cashing in on Kie- I which still obtains in almost half World News Roundup Justice Department Admits .

They by many of the t famous Rock 'n By The Associated Press DETROIT - General Motors Corp. said yesterday it plans to cut car production by 3.7 per cent next month and by 4.4 per cent more in early January. The cut in production schedules by the nation's largest automaker followed a report by a trade pub- lication that GM, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. already have trimmed 58,000 units off their No- vember car production plans.. New car sales in the first 10 days of this month have lagged five per cent behind the pace of a year ago. GM said its scheduled produc- tion cutbacks will be made "to bal- ance production plans for the near future with expected demands." Eleven of GM's 23 assembly plants will be affected by elimi-; nation of some previously sched- uled overtime and a reduction in the daily rate of output, the firm said. * * * PASADENA,'Calif.-Lunar Or- biter 2 radioed its first pictures of the moon yesterday and a source said they showed a crater-pocked but flat area; apparently safe for men to land on. The source, who could not be identified, said he had seen Po- laroid prints made as the pictures were received at a tracking sta- tion at Goldsteon, Calif., yester- day afternoon. The pictures, meant to show surface details as small as three feet in diameter, indicated typi- cal lunar terrain dotted with cra- ters of all sizes. Scientific evaluation of the pho- tographs will be made when pic- tures are released later, but the source said a preliminary look in- dicated there were no slopes se- vere enough -to make a landing spacecraft overturn. * * * HERNANDO, Miss.-The De So- to County grand jury indicated Aubrey James Norvell, 40, yes- terday on two charges stemming from the shooting of James H.

Norvell, an unemployed hard- ware store salesman from nearby Memphis, was charged with as- sault and battery with intent ,to kill Meredith, and with pointing, aiming and discharging a firearm at N. Z. Trout, a special investi- gator with the Mississippi High- way Patrol. Meredith, the first Negro known to be enrolled at the University of Mississippi, was shot from am- bush and wounded on the second day of his "march against fear" in Mississippi. i i THE POPULAR ONE I 1 A roomy, jold-over bag with convertible shoulder strap and zippered compart went $300 0 In'
