DEMS AND TAX REFORM: MATTER OF CONSCIENCE See Editorial Page Y 4 A6 43zrn 4Iai RAINY High-83 Low-53 Evening Showers Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXV, No. 24-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1965 SEVEN CEN TS FOUR PAGES REVEAL PATROLS: Taylor Returns for Talks WASHINGTON (P)-The Navy disclosed officially yesterday that it has set up an active coastal patrol against the smuggling of arms and men from North Viet' Nam into South Viet Nam. The disclosure by Secretary of the Navy Paul H. Nitze coincided with the arrival from Saigon of U.S. Ambassador Maxwell D. Tay- lor, who came home for another round of conferences with Presi- dent Lyndon B. Johnson and other officials. Nitze, speaking at a meeting of Navy and Marine Corps officers, said that in the past three months the Navy, aided by Coast Guard vessels, has switched from a pas- sive to an active role in trying to block the flow of reinforcements and arms by sea from the North. 20,000 Vessels "Since March, South Vietnamese and our own counter-infiltration forces in the area have stopped, boarded and searched over 20,000 vessels," Nitze said. Reports rProperties Require Inspection By RUTH FEUERSTEIN City Administrator Guy C. Larcom reported to the City Council last night that from 600 to 700 properties in Ann Arbor need to be inspected. Presenting a housing inspection report, Larcom predicted that, with the help of two recently hired inspectors, this work can be han- dled within six months. "From January 1 to May 1, the housing division made a total of 642 inspections and issued 229 certificates of occupancy," according to the division's report. From an original list which contained 317 properties in non-compliance, all but 24 have been inspected. How- ROBERT P. WEEKS Gillespie Hits Dental Section Of Medicare By DEBORAH ISACKCON Dr. George Gillespie, instructor of the public health school, said yesterday that "the proposed med- icare plan is incapable of safe- guarding the dental health of America's senior citizens." "It would be better to strike dental service completely from the bill, rather than include it as an optional benefit, as is now plan- ned," Gillespie, a dental surgeon, added. Under the proposed plan, cer- tain health benefits would be in- sured, such as hospitalization, fol- low-up out-patient care and out- patient diagnostic service. Dental coverage, however, would not be Included as an insured benefit. "It would be offered only on an op- tional basis under a supplemen- tary program," Gillespie explain- ed. Objection Gillespie objects to this option- al clause in the Kerr-Mills plan, which is now in effect in about 27 states. "Too much," he said, "is left up to the discretion of the individual states; there is no uni- formity." If the objective of any medical plan for the aged "is to provide uniform dental benefits for the aged in all states, then it would be better if the decision to include dental care were not left to the individual states in the supplementary program." The problem with this Kerr- Mills program and the medicare plan is, according to Gillespie, j that specific funds are not al- located for dentistry, and states are not now (under Kerr-Mills) and would not (under medicare) be required to offer dental serv- ices. "The trouble," Gillespie contin- ued, "is that dentistry has never received a fair share of consid- eration when dental benefits have been tied to medical benefits. Specific Funds "Unless money is specifically appropriated for dental care." he ever, even with these gains, it will take another 19 months for the department to finish housing in- spections, Larcom said. University Units Included in the agenda are housing units at the University which will be inspected during the next three months. Council- man Robert P. Weeks commend- ed the agency on its rapid gains, but also suggested that an in- crease in personnel might hasten the future improvements. Mayor Wendell E. Hulcher sum- marized the activities at last week's United States Conference of Mayors. One issue discussed was population increase and its effect on towns. According to the report "aggressive action must 'bq taken to satisfy the needs and demands of man, woman, a'nd child living in the urban areas." First, there must be an in- creased emphasis on education, training and employment for the city's youth. This need is exem- plified by Ann Arbor High School's graduating class-the largest in school history. Second, citizens must pay care- ful attention to the types of taxes they pay, and for what purposes these taxes are used. The rela- tionship between local, state and federal programs is becoming more complex yet an awareness of tax structure clarifies the re- lationship. Policemen Third, policemen must be bet- ter trained to give the citizens better protection. Fourth, Ann Arbor must in- crease the number of parks and recreation facilities. Also water reservoirs must be replenished to meet the demand of an increasing population. Finally, "continued progress must be made to enhance equal opportunity and the human dig- nity of each individual." Hulcher also pointed out that "Ann Ar- bor is well known throughout the United States and highly regard- ed." Other U.S. mayors have men- tioned the University as the pri- mary reason for their familiarity with Ann Arbor. The Council also considered Hulcher's recommendations for appointments to various commit- tees, including the Human Rela- tions Commission-an organiza- tion at the center of a legal con- troversy over Ann Arbor's Fair Housing Ordinance. He said this was done at the urgent request of the South Viet- namese government, whose fleet of more than 500 armed junks was unable to cope with the prob- lem. Prior to March, the U.S. Navy and its aircraft had served only to spot suspected vessels and alert the South Vietnamese Navy to carry out actual interceptions. Taylor, returning for his fourth consultation in less than a year, told newsmen he has "many mat- ters to discuss." Subjects An appraisal of the still deli- cate political situation in Saigon and the escalation of ground fighting in South Viet Nam in the three months since American bombing attacks began on North Viet Nam appeared major sub- jects for review. State Department officials in- dicated there would be less deci- sion making connected with Tay- lor's current talks than in any of his previous visits in the 11 months since he stepped down as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take 'over the ambassa- dorial post in Saigon. Two of the questions that had been open before Taylor's return have been more sharply defined by administration spokesmen. The combat role of U.S. forces was re-defined by state depart- ment press officer Robert J. M- Closkey over the weekend and it included carrying out aggressive patrols in which guerrillas are sought out and cleared from the perimeters of American defense installations. Main Role Vietnamese government forces still carry the main responsibility for fightinguthe war against the Viet Cong, but .. defense forces do not require hostile fire before attacking in the vicinity of the installations they are defending. Another major question that ap- pears open is the number of U.S. forces to be sent to South Viet Nam. McCloskey did not confirm or deny a report a 15,000-man am- jhibious U.S. force in the Pacific may be headed for Viet Nam. He expressed no surprise at the re- port. Taylor also will assess the ef- fect of Soviet jet bombers and missile sites being prepared in the Hanoi-Haiphong area. Viet Nam Action In action in Viet Nam yesterday, U.S. Marine jet fighters blasted two major Viet Cong troop cen- ters and other American warplanes were credited with knocking out a force of guerrillas apparently poised to ambush a large unit of American paratroopers. Marauding U.S. and Vietnamese fighters and bombers pounded North Vietnamese military, supply and communications facilities againy, concentrating on the oft- bombed Vinh supply depot, 160 miles south of Hanoi, on the South China Sea. Senate Votes Asian Aid Fund WASHINGTON (P)-President Lyndon B. Johnson's request for $89 million to initiate a massive economic and social development program in South Viet Nam, Laos and Thailand won overwhelming Senate approval yesterday. The Senate voted to include the president's request as an addition to the pending 2-year, $3.35- billion-a-year foreign aid bill. The added money was approved by a 13-4 vote of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee earlier - in the day. Plan Bundy Conference For Today By CHARLOTTE WOLTER Presidential Advisor McGeorge Bundy agreed to meet today with representatives of the Inter-Uni- versity Committee for Debate on Foreign Policy which organized the National Teach-in May 15 to discuss arrangements for a pos- sible televised debate on policy in Viet Nam, the committee an- nounced last night. Bundy missed the National Teach-in, at which he was sup- posed to be the main spokesman for the administration position, because he was sent on a mission to the Dominican Rpublic. Bun- dy gave his support to public discussion of policy, and subse- quently indicated his willingness to work out some means of par- ticipating in a discussion of policy with members of the academic community.-. Prof. Richard Mann of the psy- chology department and Prof. Jon- athan Mirsky, an expert on mod- ern China from the University of Pennsylvania, will confer with Bundy as representatives of the Inter-University Committee for a Public Hearing on Viet Nam. Broader Basis In addition to assigning repre- sentatives to talk with Bundy, the Inter-University Committee in a weekend meeting in Ann Arbor de- cided to organize on a permanent and broader basis a reconstituted Inter-University Committee for Debate on Foreign policy which will seek and organize discussion with policy makers on interna- tional situations in addition to Viet Nam. This is envisioned as a contin- uing function for giving orga- nized expression to the academic community's critical concern in foreign policy. A spokesman for the reorganiz- ed Inter-University Committee explained: "We were encouraged at the response to the national teach-in, especially to the pur- pose of it. Perhaps James Reston of the New York Times in his May 15 column expressed our in- tention when he said, 'the teach- in has now developed into a forum of national debate which could be of fundamental importance to the nation'." Academic Response A spokesman added that "a further explanation of our pur- pose is in the New Republic com- ment that 'there have been bad policies by administrations for the past two decades but never before has the academic community re- sponded with such a will. The teachers are beginning to redis- cover their place in the society from which they have been isolat- ed." Much of the organizational work for the May 15 teach-in was done by members of the Inter-Univer- sity Committee at the University. According to a statement released by the committee last night, the weekend meeting in Ann Arbor of some 100 persons from 40 dif- ferent institutions, in addition to giving permanency and breadth to the Inter-University Commit- tee, was for the purpose of spread- ing responsibilities for future ac- tivity. An ad hoc group will re- cruit a steering or executive com- mittee to include both faculty and students from a broad represen- tation of institutions. National Level However, the Inter-University Committee for Debate on Foreign Policy will not have chapters or units. It will organize examination of foreign policy at the national level, and encourage public discus- sion among local groups. As T Tests Commence THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER WASP (above) was the recovery ship for the splashdown of the Gemini 4 yesterday afternoon. The two astronauts were given medical examinations on board. Gemini Marks Major Advance wo HOUSTON (P)-With the flight1 of Gemini 4 the United States took a great stride forward in the quickening man-to-the-moon race with the Soviet Union. The medical data must still be analyzed on America's longest manned space flight yet, but oth- erwise officials said that they see1 no barrier moving ahead the Ge- mini program to a seven-day flight in August. Astronauts James McDivitt andI Edward White spent nearly 98 hours in space, tripling the to- tal time logged by all eight pre- vious U.S. astronauts.. McDivitt and White were pro- nounced in good physical shape on initial examination, but ad- verse effects normally don't show up until after a flight and several weeks may be required to com- pletely analyze the medical data. )It will provide the U.S. with the first handle on how man's physical and mental condition is affected by extended periods in the weightless space environment. Gemini officials learned a lot from the McDivitt-White flight. Outstanding findings were that man can operate for at least short periods outside the orbiting cap- sule; that radar and other aids are required for rendezvous in space; that man can function ef- fectively while in the space en- vironment for at least four days, and that most spacecraft systems have a high degree of reliability for the long haul. Second Phase The man-in-space programs of both the U.S. and Russia are now in the second phase of the moon race-a critical time when opera- tional capabilities and techniques are being developed. The nation which develops the procedures first and then applies them to the third and final phase will be the winner in the lunar sweepstakes. Last March 18, U.S. officials acknowledged that the Russians had a clear lead of perhaps two years. That was the day cosmo- naut Alexei Leonov became his- 'ntl ia im"f ~~nf Astronauts tion Voskhod spacecraft - one with a crew of three, the other with two. The U.S. had flown only its first-generation Mercury capsule. Since March 18, the Soviets have had no manned launchings and the U.S. has flown two of its two-man Gemini spacecraft. Th achievements of Gemini 3 and 4 certainly have narrowed the gap. The Russians still have a lead, however, because of a more powerful rocket they have been using for several years. No Rendezvous The Russians evidently have not conducted a rendezvous or hook up maneuver, nor have they shift- ed the orbit of a manned space- ship as Grissom and Young did. However, the Soviets are be-j lieved to have the capability of doing both and are expected to do so soon-perhaps even in more spectacular fashion than the pres- ent U.S. plans. The present pace indicates both contending nations are almost even in the four major areas which must be perfected before man can venture to the moon: long-duration, emergency of man into space, maneuverability and docking. Once a nation has developed'l'e- liability on all four, it can pro- ceed to the third phase of the race and aim for the moon. For the U.S., this is project Apollo. The present U.S. schedule calls for a manned lunai; landing in 1969, but program director Joseph Shea says that continued success in the Gemini program and early success in the Apollo project could advance the date to 1968. Examination To Last Over Three Days White's Heart Faster Because of Excitement Of Flight, Space Walk HOUSTON ()-Gemini astro- nauts James McDivitt and Edward White plummeted home from space yesterday to a red carpet welcome and presidential congrat- ulations-safe after a 4-day orbi- tal marathon and a 20-minute walk in space. Before they were on earth four hours, they had accepted an invitation from President Lyndon B. Johnson to visit him at the Johnson ranch in Texas Friday or Saturday. The two astronauts splashed down in the Atlantic at 12:13 p.m. (EST). Within the hour, they were faced with a wild welcome on the aircraft carrier Wasp-the prime recovery ship-walking a red car- pet and going below decks to the sick bay for physical examina- tions. No Problems As the physical examinations continued on the ship, Dr. How- ard Minners said after two hours of tests that he han encountered "no problems." New York City sent the astro- nautA an invitation to ride in the traditional hero's ticker tape pa- rade in Manhattan. During the blazing fireball plunge to earth, the astronauts had taken over for a broken com- puter and they flew by hand and clock to a, near perfect landing- just 46 miles and one minute short of target. In space, they saw two other flying, man-made objects- but they have not been definitely identified. The Wasp recovered the space- craft from the Atlantic at 2:26 p.m.-two hours and 13 minutes after splashdown. Residual Effects In Houston, at a post-flight news conference, doctors report- ed they were checking for any residual effects of the flight. White-who cavorted in space alone on Thursday-had an ele- vated heart rate and blood pres- sure, part of it due to excite- ment. His normal pre-flight heart rate was 50 beats per minute-but it was 96 lying down on the examin- ing table on the carrier. When the table was tilted so that White was upright, his heart went to al- most 150 beats per minute. Doc- tors checked his blood pressure to see if the relative vacation of weightless flight had affected his heart's ability to pump blood. During his walk in space, his heart rate shot up to 178 beats a minute. The concern is that the heart might become weaker after long terms in space-and fail to pump efficiently enough against the pull of gravity to service the body with blood. Medical Data OK .. t l:c * THE KEY STEPS IN RETURNING to earth were performed with enough precision yesterday afternoon to bring the Gemini down within five miles of waiting helicopters. OAS Mediators Exploring N'ews Dominican Solution SANTO DOMINGO (A)-The three-nation mediating team of the Organization of American States met with Dominican leaders yester- day in a continuing effort to solve the six-week-old Dominican crisis. i EDUCATION SYSTEMS STUDIED: "U'-Sheffield Exchange Promo The University education school's exchange program with Shef- field University in Sheffield, England, has been highly successful in promoting understanding between British and American educators, according to Prof. Claude A. Eggertsen, of the education school and the program's initiator. It was conceived in 1959, growing from Eggertsen's friendship with a member of the faculty of Sheffield's education department. Both had completed exchange teaching assignments at each other's schools and thought the knowledge gained was extremely valuable, Eggertsen explained.
