Viet Nam Regime Gives Up Power Siii!3ant 4hr 74latly A Quat, Suu, Chieu Resign; Military To Take Control, Authority Again By The Associated Press SAIGON - South Viet Nam's chief of state, prime minister, and national legislative council issued a joint communique;yesterday saying they are were resigning and returning power to the military. The announcement was signed by Chief of State Phan Khac Suu, Prime Minister Phan Huy Quat, and Maj. Gen. Pham Zuan Chieu, chairman of the legislative council. It seemed likely, several sources said, that the generals might ask Suu, Quat and the council to stay on in a caretaker capacity until Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXV, No. 28-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1965 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES House $6.3 Committee MIiIlion from Cuts Back I PHAN HUY QUAT Senate Cuts AidBU Blby $200 Million WASHINGTON (41) - Admin- 'i stration. forces were jolted by a $200-million cut in President Lyn- don B. Johnson's foreign aid bill yesterday after beating back what one Senate leader called a "meat ax" whack at the $3.44 billion measure. The amendment passed 40-35. The drive for a top-to-bottom cut in the bill was led by Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), who call- ed the foreign aid program "a stinking mess." Whatever slim hopes Democrat- ic Leader Mike Mansfield of Mon- tana had of passing the measure last night ended when Morse an- nounced further plans to call up a series of amendments Monday proposing country - by - country cuts. Final Vote Tuesday Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Il- linois, the Republican leader, pre- dicted the Senate will reach a final vote on the authorization measure Tuesday. It must be fol- lowed later by an appropriation bill providing whatever funds are authorized. Morse tried first to cut the whole program from $3.44 bil- lion to an even $3 billion for each of the. next two years, starting July 1. Administration backers led by Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark) stemmed this attack by a 54-26 roll call vote. Target: Entire Program Morse's amendment was aimed at the program as a whole, leav- ing it up to Johnson's foreign aid directors to decide where to dis- tribute the $200 million reduction if it prevails. Morse read from a stack of comptroller general reports which he said supported his contention that the aid program is a mess. He said aid officials "won't have any trouble making- the cuts if they will just read 10 per cent of these reports." Before taking up the Morse amendments, administration lead- ers defeated, 43 to 38, an attempt by Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) to cut $115 million from the $1.17- billion military aid section. Block Expansion Church said his amendment was designed to block a planned ex- pansion of military aid to Greece and Turkey as well as to Paki- stan and India, even though he said "these countries are on the verge of going to war against one another." some new governing body can be formed. Power Goes to Army The resignations specifically handed over "responsibility and power" to the armed forces, how- ever, and it appeared the nation would be ruled by the military again. U.S. officials said the govern- mental change followed marathon meetings between South Vietna- mese generals, Prime Minister Phan Huy Quat, chief of state, Tham Khac Suu and the legisla- tive council.. Quat, whose four-month-old re- gime had come under increasing fire from domestic critics, was said to have offered his resigna- tion after asking the military to mediate a constitutional dispute. Less Serious U.S. officials in Washington portrayed governmental upheaval as far less serious than previous occasions when the military has seized control by coup, sometimes with fighting or threats of it. They said North Viet Nam should take no encouragement from the change because Quat's critics are people who want an even more vigorous prosecution of the campaign against the Viet Cong guerrillas. The U.S. officials also noted that the military has always been close to positions of power in the Saigon government even when not in outward control. Minimize Impact Although officials here tended to minimize the impact'on the war effort of yesterday's developments, it seemed apparent that the change will add some difficulties for U.S. leaders on the scene. Officials said that Quat's resig- nation would wipe out the moves toward stability which have been built up since last February, and reactivate the old problem of how to keep a reasonably stable Sa. gon government in existence. There is some indication that the change was brought about by Catholic pressure. Catholic leaders said yesterday afternoon they would settle for nothing less than the ouster of Quat, whom they mistrusted com- pletely. Planned Demonstration Catholics had planned a massive anti-Quat demonstration for yes- terday but it was assumed the rally would be called off. It was expected the generals would quickly organize a kind of council or junta to avoid a total vacuum in national leadership. The armed forces generals last month formally disbanded the old armed forces council, under which former Gen. Nguyen Khanh ruled. Quat took office Nov. 16. Most American officials regarded him as one of the few figures in the nation who seemed capable of unifying Saigon's Catholic people. Another issue in the collapse of Quat's four - month - old gov- ernment was the growing section- alism in the country. Residents of the southern part of the na- tion accused Quat, whose origins are in central Viet Nam, of fav- oring those coming from the same sector as well as former residents of the north. As for the battle against the Viet Cong went yesterday, Viet- namese paratroopers p u s h e d through dense jungle seeking a Viet Cong force that devastated the town of Dong Xoai and its American special forces camp. The 52nd Vietnamese Ranger Battalion, which suffered heavy casualties in pushing the-Commu- nists out of the community 60 miles north of Saigon, remained behind, handling the many dead and wounded-soldier and civilian, adult and child. I ' I u dget Astronauts' Rank Raised By Johnson By The Associated Press HOUSTON - President Lyndon B. Johnson visited the two Gemini 4 astronauts Majors James Mc- Divitt and Edward White in Hous- ton yesterday. The president raised the pilots from the rank of major to the Air Force rank of Lieutenant Colonel and nominated two other astronauts, Gemini 3 command pilot Virgil Grissom and and Mer- cury astronaut Gordon Cooper for the same rank. The promotions are subject to approval from the. Senate. Gives Okay Also today United States as- tronauts got a green- light from medical authorities for a planned seven-day flight into space. Flight Surgeon Charles Berry said he saw no obstacles for a 14-day mission. "I don't advocate jumping to 14 days next," Berry told a news conference, "but after looking at preliminary data from McDivitt and White, I would say the out- look was very bright." Berry said some problems must be overcome, the biggest being the work-sleep cycle of four hours work and four hours sleep. More Rest "We need to give the man more rest," he said, "at least six hours." Another problem is dehydration, long a bugaboo of manned space flight. "We must be able to measure how much water is left for drink- ing," he said. McDivitt and White weren't drinking much water at the beginning of the flight because they were afraid they wouldn't have enough left for the four days," he said. ' Pre-Launch Condition Berry said both Gemini astro- nauts were back to their pre- launch physical conditions, four days after their return from space. Berry, who is in charge Of all medical programs at the manned spacecraft center, said he con- tinued to be amazed at the fine condition of the two astronauts. "Early data indicates man is perfectly capable of carrying out tasks in space, inside the space- craft or outside," he said. The surgeon said he didn't an- ticipate any future ailments for the two spacemen as a result of their four-day trip. House-Senate Feuds Cause Monies Slash Kowalski, Bursley Expect Fund Request To Be Restored Eventually By JOHN MEREDITH and BRUCE WASSERSTEIN The House Ways and Means Committee slashed $6.3 mil- lion from the University's operating budget yesterday in an admitted attempt to gain bargaining power in its appropria- tions feud with the Senate. House Majority Leader Joseph Kowalski (D-Detroit) said that he will do "everything in my power to see that the amount is restored on the House floor," and Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) expressed confidence that the needs of the University will be met in the end.

PROGRESS, PROBLEM ANALYSIS: Study Resident~tial College Plan By ROBERT MOORE The Residential College Facul- ty Planning Committee is discuss- ing abolition of course grades, comprehensive examinations and a three year undergraduate pro- gram in its comprehensive plan- ning for the new self-contained college, a recent analysis by the committee indicates. The analysis, written for a "Workshop on Liberal Arts Edu- cation" in which three members of the- committee will exchange ideas with educators from other schools, summarizes the progress of a year-and-a-half of planning and lists some questions which have arisen in the committee's discussions. The progress report says the work of planning is about half- done for the college, which is ex- pected to be completed near North Campus in 1968, and the questions indicate the general trend of the unique college. Questions Posed The questions concern other school's experiences with: abo- lition of individual course grades, comprehensive examinations, cur- ricula in science courses for non science majors, classrooms in dor- mitories, student-faculty govern- CBS Submits Proposal for Televised Bundy Debate By JUDITH WARREN Co-Editorj Plans for the proposed debate between McGeorge Bundy, special advisor to President Lyndon B. Johnson, and critics of the adminis- tration's policy in Viet Nam took another step yesterday toward completion. At a meeting yesterday in Washington, Columbia Broadcasting System representatives presented a proposal to Professor Arnold Kaufman of the philosophy department. Kaufman refused to com- ment on the substance of the CBS proposal but said that "we are ,very close to a settlement." ment with an equal division of power, intensive language curricu- la, interdisciplinary majors, mul- ti-purpose science laboratories and a three-year undergraduate pro- gram of two-and-a-half terms per year. Other questions concern a pos- sible "out" in the language re- quirement for non-language mo- tivated students and the optimum amount of classroom space per student. The report considers the prog- ress in the fields of curriculum planning, faculty commitment and calendaring. Course Development "We are well on our way toward the development of a program of freshman seminars, core courses in the physical and social sciences and the- humanities, and are con- sidering a variety of techniques of encouraging i n d e p e n d e n t study," the report says. Faculty commitment, however, may prove more of a problem, the report indicates. Surveys the com- mittee has taken indicate that al- though many teachers are inter- ested in teaching at the Residen- tial College, few are willing to do so full-time. "Thus we ask," the report con- tinues, "what can we make out of a network of split and part- time appointments? How shall we define 'load' on the new campus? How can we get our faculty to mingle with the students on off- hours and not retreat to the cen- tral campus? How do we handle a research faculty in a teaching col- lege?" Calendaring Problem On the calendaring problem, the report says the committee will "consider alternative divisions of the academic year, within the tri- mester framework, such that stag- gered scheduling would be mini- mized, and the community spirit of the campus maximized." "The status of the new college is to be unique at the University. We shall be in most important respects autonomous, although ad- ministratively a subordinate unit UN Group OK's Arms Parley By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS-The Unit- ed Nations Disarmament Commis- sion endorsed an Asian-African proposal for a world arms con- ference which would include Com- munist China yesterday, overrid- ing objections from the United States. of the literary college, throught which degrees will be awarded," the report says.t "Our aim is to have the bestt of two worlds-the somewhat more1 intimate and unified life of the small college; the variety, ener- gy and resources of the large uni- versity."

There is some expectation ,the report goes on, that this is the wave of the future in Ann Arbor; but whether there will be four or five separatehResidential Colleges by 1984, or whether the whole lit- erary college will subdivide and decentralize is stil la question. Currentlyzthe job is toudecide what we want to happen in this first college, and do so in a very short time, the report said. Hold Chicago Rights Protest By The Associated Press CHICAGO-Two hundred par- ticipants in a school protest pa- rade were arrested in Grant Park yesterday after staging a sit-down in a dispute with police officials. The protest was an attempt by civil rights leaders to pressure Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley into firing school superintendent, Benjamin C. Willis. Some civil rights actionists accusp Willis of not moving swiftly enough in a racial integration plan for the schools. Daley, who first had set Mon- day for a conference with protest leaders, shifted the appointment time to yesterday afternoon. But he warned marchers that they must not block the city's heavy downtown traffic. Repetition March3 The suddenly abolished march had been planned by civil rights leaders as a repetition of a dem- onstration march held Thursday which snarled downtown Chicago traffic and blocked LaSalle St. outside city hall. The marches were staged in con- junction with a proposed two-day boycott of the city's public school University's Flint branch this year. Rep. Charles Grey (D- Ypsilanti), who proposed the cutback, said that the move "was not a serious amendment in the sense of cutting the University's budget." Force Restoration "It is an attempt to force res- toration of cutbacks made in ad- ministrative pay raise bills by the Senate Appropriations Commit- tee," he explained. "I hope that our differences in this area can be worked out so that the University's budget can be raised again to $50.35 million plus an additional $900,000 for faculty salaries." No Interest Grey emphasized, however, that he had no interest in restoring Senate cuts in the controversial legislator pay-raise bill. Other House members had bitterly at- tacked the Senate Appropriations Committee when it killed this measure earlier this week University officials had no com- ment on the budget cut. The slash was made as the Ways and Means Committee read the higher education bill onto the House floor. The bill, which orig- inated in the Senate Appropria- tions committee, was passed by the Senate with a total appropria- tion of $184.3 million and $51.2 million for the University, includ- ing funds for Flint and additional faculty salaries. The Ways and Means Committee did not reduce the budget of any of the other nine state schools, reporting the bill to the floor with a total appropriation of $183.4 million. Interpretation Many observers interpreted the University cutback as a direct slap at Senate Appropriations Commit- tee Chairman Garland Lane (D- Flint). Lane has been generally favorable to the University, and is a staunch supporter of its plans to admit freshmen at Flint in the fall. Sources speculated that part of the purpose of such a large cut is to make sure that the University cannot divert other funds to sup- port the Flint venture-a factor, they said, which will put a great deal of pressure on Lane to end his opposition to the House-passed administrative pay-raise bill. Lane had joined Appropriations Com- mittee Republicans in killing the measure. Lane could not be reached for comment last night. However, the Associated Press indicated that he has made no apparent moves to confer with House leaders. Grey noted that the Ways and Means Committee cutback would give the University an appropria- tion identical with its operating budget for the 1964-'65 year, add- ing that the Lane committee's recommendations for administra- tive salaries were to keep them at their present level. Brennan Comes to Aid State Board of Education Presi- dent Thomas Brennan last night vowed to come to the University's REP. JOSEPH KOWALSKI Several OAS States Resist Peace Levies WASHINGTON (M)-Some mem- bers' resistance to paying special assessments to support the United States-proposed inter-American peacekeeping force threatens to create a financial crisis in the Organization of American States. The problem is similar to that faced by the United Nations in its unsuccessful efforts to make sev- eral countries-notably the Soviet Union and France-meet special assessments for UN peacekeeping efforts in the Congo and the Middle East. A special committee headed by Ambassador Guillermo Sevilla Sa- casa of Nicaragua met at the OAS yesterday to discuss the matter but it announced no decisions af- ter considerable talk. Vote Authorization The Senate voted Tuesday to authorize the use of 25 millionof the $55 million available for La- tin American military assistance to help support the inter-Ameri- can force under OAS control. But Mexico has already warned it will object to "any OAS resolu- tion assigning quotas resulting directly or indirectly from the establishment of the inter-Ameri- can force." Venezuela, Chile and Uruguay also have notified the OAS they reserve the right to object. No Support These countries did not support the establishment of the inter- American force. Mexico objected to any such force at all since it regards the Dominican crisis as an internal matter to be solved by the Dominicans. Venezuela failed to get the OAS to declare that the inter-American force be evenly divided, numeri- cally, between U.S. and Latin American troops. The force was established May 6 by a vote of 14 to 5 to help to keep the Dominican factions from fighting. Nf.nulha of Frac, In Near Future The debate will be broadcast at 10 p.m. "within a week or two," Kaufman predicted. He would not disclose the names of the other participants in the debate, ex- plaining they are still being con- tacted and the final choice is still to be made. Professor Richard Mann of the psychology department, who at- tended a meeting with Bundy Thursday emphasized that "Bundy indicated no unwillingness to meet with anyone. He will not screen or select any of his debating op- ponents." The final plans for the debate are dependent upon the proposal ~' u~MO. I' i
