YORK : Liberal Party OK's I Lidsa asChoiace, era ar so NEW YORK ( )-The Liberal Party endorsed Republican John V. Lindsay for mayor last night, a big boost in the congressman's bid to succeed retiring Democrat Robert F. Wagner. By an overwhelming voice vote, delegates to the Liberal Party's endorserhent meeting approved the non-partisan fusion administra- tion which Lindsay has proposed. Lindsay, in a statement from his campaign headquarters, said he was "deeply gratified." "The people will have the opportunity once again," Lindsay said, "to entrust their municipal government to a non-partisan, independent Call Leafletsr Start of Newf 1 Campaign Viet Cong Attack Three Coastal Sites, Use Mortar BarrageE By The Associated Press SAIGON-The U.S. mixed psy- chology and persuasion with itst campaign of force against North; Viet Nam yesterday, as US. planes; both dropped propaganda pam- phlets on some areas of North Viet Nam and bombed others. A pamphlet raid mingled with seven bombing strikes on North Viet Nam. Eight U.S. Air Force planes dumped 2.5 millioncartoon leaflets over five cities urging the people to oppose the Communist government., A U.S. spokesman said the drops were the beginning of a major leaflet campaign to be carried out. "below a certain line" south of Hanoi. The leaflets, with a cartoon on, one side and text on the other, charged that Ho Chi Minh's re- gime is taking rice from the people to feed its troops in South Viet Nam. The Viet Cong staged three at- tacks in coastal lands northeast of Saigon A U.S. spokesman an- nounced these details: Viet Cong mortar shells destroy- ed a Vietnamese helicopter, dam- aged two others and a U.S. Air Force C-123 transport, and wound- ed nine men including three Americans at the Nha Trang Air Base, 200 miles northeast of this city. Heavy mortar fire also fell on a South Vietnamese naval training station, on an island four miles from the Nha Trang Air base, killing one sailor and wounding 18. Government troops fired a counterbarrage. The Nghia Hanh district head- quarters, 40 miles south of Da Nang, was another target. The guerrillas killed one Vietnamese soldier and wounded four men, in- cluding two U.S.Army advisers. Two U.S. Air Force B-57s sum- moned from Da Nang bombed and strafed the assault force and sent it fleeing into the jungles. A number of enemy dead were re- ported seen from the air. By BARBARA SEYFRIED Government planners in charge of issuing federal research grants have been concerned lately that disproportionate grants to geo- graphical areas and schools with- in these areas are causing the "rich to get richer, the poor to get poorer." A policy. decision on geographi- cal distribution of grants, one of the areas where inequities occur, may be made soon. According to statistics cited by Rep. Weston Vivian (D-Ann Arbor) during tes- timony before a senate commit- tee, half of the states received 96.8 per cent of all federal research and development grants, leaving 25 states splitting the other 3.2 per cent. Government grants are big busi- ness, involving about $15 billion yearly., Michigan Funds Low But, Vivian added, the nation's east-north-central region, which includes Michigan, along with Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, re- ceives much lower research and development funds than other areas. While the other three main areas of the nation, the Pacific, Mountain and New England re- gions, received $181, $115 and $108 per capita respectively, our area receives only $18 per capita on federal "R and D" money, Vivian said. The trouble in this type of situ- ation arises from two basic causes. 1) When a university receives a grant for an extensive project, it requires complicated equipment. Once a first grant is awarded to the institution and the equipment is built up, then a second giant dealing with a similar subject and requiring the use of the same equipment is usually awarded to the institution that receives the OEO PROGRAM: Poor Si By KAY EMERICK The Office of Economic Oppor- tunity, an executive agency of President Lyndon B. Johnson's poverty program, has granted $2 million to 16 colleges and univer- sities to initiate a summer pro- gram in which 2,370 high school students will be enrolled. The University, however, is not participating in the program. Garrison Ellis, public affairs of- ficer for the OEO, said yesterday that the program has three main goals. "We are interested in seek- ing out potentially excellent stu- dents who thus far haven't had an opportunity to show their abil- ities." "Secondly, we hope to discover new teaching and testing methods that will enable us to evaluate and work with these students more effectively. "Finally," Ellis said, "we hope to expose these kids to people who WESTON VIVIAN first grant. This cuts down on ex- penses because equipment does not have to be re-purchased. Thus, once an institution is well established in numerous fields of research, it attracts more and more grants. The entire process is cumulative. 2) However, not only does this attract financial resources, but the financial resources attract the nation's brainpower. As a result you not only have universities with top-grade research facilities but also with top-grade faculties This affects the teaching quality of the -research-oriented univer- sity, by making it better, and the teaching quality of other schools by drawing away their best men. According to Rep. Robert B. Duncan (D-Ore.) the awarding of big government contracts to a lim- ited number of universities has strengthened faculties and im- proved equipment of those schools, but it has also widened the gap between first-rate, second-rate and third-rate universities. This, he said, has created "pock- ets of technological poverty and a brain drain on some .sections of the country." Vivian urged that the solution to this problem lay in making a deliberate effort to see that those areas of the country which were not receiving a major portion of research grants receive them whenever it is possible to do so. NSF Approach But the problem still remains of what to do within these areas of the country. Institutions which already have received the benefits of research grants are already well established as centers of ex- cellence. Grants in the areas have a tendency to accumulate in these already established areas. The National Science Fo.nda- tion has already recognized this problem, and $40 million of its budget was set aside for purposes of developing institutions that are promising centers of excel- lence. This is a solution that Robert Burroughs, director of thz Uni- versity Office of Research Admin- istration, has suggested might be effective. Grants are awarded on a com- petitive, merit basis, he explained. If the government awarded them on any other basis it would be underwriting mediocrity. The best approach would then be to take institutions out of the competition and award grants to them separately, Burroughs said. This would allow them to develop technological excellence without sacrificing the excellence of the general grant program, Burroughs said. Asks Strong Civil Rights Proposal Mayor Recommends Law Identical In Wording to State Constitution By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN Taking action in the wake of Circuit Court Judge James Breakey's declaration of the constitutionality of Ann Arbor's fair housing ordi- nance, Mayor Wendell Hulcher proposed a stronger local civil rights law last night to the city council. The recommended legislation would involve passing a law ident- ical with the wording of Article 1, Section 2 of the State Constitution which says "No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws; nor shall any person be denied the enjoyment of his civil or political rights or be discriminated against in the exercise thereof because of religion, race, color or tudents To Benefit national origin.". According to Hulcher, "the pur- poses of this proposed, separate ordinance is to attack more broad- ly the problem of discrimination and to do it on a local basis." Reversal Ann Arbor's current civil rights law, the fair housing ordinance, was originally declared unconsti- but his decision was reversed by tutional by Judge Francis O'Brien, Judge Breakey this month. City Councilmember Roy Cap- paert (D) has said that the legal controversy surrounding the "rel- atively mild" provisions of the fair housing ordinance had dis- couraged the council from pass- ing stronger bills. Cappaert has indicated that he also wanted to recommend a new civil rights law for Ann Arbor. The present fair housing ordi- nance bans discrimination in apartment dwellings whose own- ers have at least five such prop- erties. Cappaert has pointed out that there is a need for laws cov- ering the housing categories not covered by this rule. Future Procedure If the law is eventually adopted in its recommended form, Hulch- er said "an aggrieved person can have two alterantive means to attain relief: -By going to the Michigan Civil Rights Commission under state constitutional provision. This type of relief is available cur- rently and has been since the commission began functioning; and -By going to the local courts and the city attorney under the proposed new law. Breakey's ruling on June 19, over-ruling Kelley's opinion, had caused widespread c o m m e n t among people interested in rights legislation. Kelley had previously said that power in matters concerning civil rights in housing is lodged in the state's Civil Rights Commission. Fair housing was ont a local con- cern, Kelley explained. However, Breakey, in his opin- ion said, "the mere fact that the state has made certain regulations does not prohibit municipalities from enacting additional require- ments. As long as there is no con- flict between the two, then both will stand." City-State Variance "The only difference between the city ordinance and the state statute," Breakey explained, "is that the ordinance goes further in its probitions. "Thus," Breakey concluded, "the local housing ordinance is legal for it in no way attempts to authorize what the legislature has forbidden, or forbids what the legislature has authorized. There is nothing between the provisions of the state statute and the local ordinance which might prevent their e f f e c t i v e co-existence," Breakey concluded. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER administration that can bring new hope, new confidence 'and a new start to our city.' No Comment None of the leading Democratic contenders could be reached im- mediately for comment. The Liberals had endorsed Wag- ner, who announced last month he would not seek reelection to a fourth term. A half dozen Demo- crats have entered the race, with the party's candidate probably to be selected in the Sept. 14 pri- mary. Lindsay, 43, did not support GOP presidential candidate Barry Goldwater last year, but won re- election to Congress. Breaks Tradition The Liberal Party, which split from the left-leaning American Labor Party in 1944, has not en- dorsed a Republican for mayor since 1949. The last Republican mayor was Fiorello La Guardia, who did it on a "fusion" slate with other parties, holding office from 1934 to 1945. Lindsay openly sought Liberal and Democratic backing for may- or, and announced he planned a "non-partisan" administration. Last week Williarm F. Buckley Jr., editor of the National Review and a Goldwater supporter, an- nounced he would run for mayor on the Conservative ticket be- cause Lindsay was not running as a Republican. JOHN LINDSAY Degree Recipients Set New Record The nation has gained a record number of new degree holders this year. Six per cent moie degrees were awarded this year than last, according to preliminary estimates 4 by the United States Office of Education. In 1963-64 a total of 614,194 de- grees were earned compared with some 651,300 this year, the report says. Stock Market Hits Lowest. Point Since Kennedy Death NEW YORK (UP)-Stock prices hit new lows for the year yester- day in the steepest plunge since President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. Trading was heavy. At the close, when prices were at their lowest of the day, the New York Stock Exchange's new highspeed ticker was three minutes behind floor transactions. The Dow Jones Average of 30 industrial stocks plummeted 13 77 to 840.59. The Associated Press 60-stock average was off 4.8 at 308 and the Standard and Poor's 500-stock index dropped 1.46 at 81.60. The Dow Jones industrial average has now lost close to 100 points since dropping from its all-f PRESIDENT JOHNSON care, and to develop transitional programs which will keep the stu- dent interested in school, and, hopefully, break the family pover- ty cycle." Under the grant, youths from 14 to 20 years old will be taken from disadvantaged areas to par- ticipate in the program. Members of minority groups, and students poor in material and intellectual background will be included. The grant will be used in many ways differing with the college's individual program, Ellis explain- ed. Columbia University, one of the participating schools, will al- low undergraduates to participate in teaching 160 youths at the ninth grade level. Their achievement on tests tak- en at the end of the summer will be measured against those of a control group which had no tu- toring. } SARGENT SHRIVER Ellis emphasized the follow-up stages in the program. "We would like to keep these students inter- ested in education. Plans call for refresher courses during the year, and participation by many public and private high schools and col- leges," he explained. Ellis termed the program a "demonstration grant." He con- cluded, "It is a very new idea, and the program is purely exploratory, but if it shows promise in helping to alleviate poverty, it will cer- tainly be continued." The OEE is under the director- ship of R. Sargent Shriver. Other participating schools in- clude the University of Oregon, Western Washington State Col- lege, New Mexico Highlands Col- lege, Fisk Institute, Dillard College and Texas Southern University. Ripon College and Tuskegee In- stitute are also in the program. BlisBlasts. Fund-Raising GOP Groups WASHINGTON (P)-Republican National Chairman Ray Bliss yes- terday blasted "the creation of separate organizations which soli- cit funds from Republicans, whether these organizations be liberal, moderate or conservative." Bliss, speaking at a meeting of the Republican National Commit- tee here, did not mention the Free Society Association, created by Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP can- didate for the presidency. Bliss previously has said that the Goldwater organization would be harmful to party unity. Institute Reform Bliss addressed the committee just before former President Dwight D. Eisenhower who asked the committee to institute reforms in their national presidential nom- inating conventions. Eisenhower asked that a per=. manent chairman be given dic- tatorial powers. He also suggested the number of delegates be reduced and said all newsmen should be barred from the floor. The former President told the committee that the quadriennial conventions now beamed to the world by television portray a pic- ture of "confusion, noise, impossi- ble deportment and the ignoring of subjects under discussion from the platform." Eisenhower said he thought a "s t r o n g permanent chairman should be selected and given dic- tatorial powers" over the conduct of the nominating sessions. This, he said, should be en- forced by sergeants at arms, pick- ed from among non-commissioned officers in the military forces, or policemen. Only convention delegates should be allowed on the floor, with the alternates gaining ad- mission only when called upon to vote in the absence of their prin- cipals. There should be phone. booths in every state delegation's area so that theconvention chair- man could control what was go- ing on, he said. "All publicity media should be excluded from the floor," he said. "We don't want them running around interviewing people when matters are being discussed on the platform. Limit Delegates There are too many delegates, the former President complained. He said the number from each state should be limited to double the number of electoral votes for that state. Eisenhower said demonstrations ought to be limited drastically.

Only Xerox of the FREE THE SLAVES; The Daily--An American Institution Three score and fifteen years ago, our founders brought forth at this University a' new newspaper conceived in newsprint and dedicated to the proposition that the students are just as good as the teachers. Now we are engaged in a great personnel drive testing whether that newspaper, or any similar rag so printed and distributed can keep its circulation up. We are met in the anchor of that news- paper. We have come here to hash things out and to decide whether you will dedicate your academic life to The Daily, whether this will be your final resting place once the 2 a.m. deadline rolls around. Is it altogether fitting and proper that we should do this? No. But, in a larger sense, we cannot write this newspaper single- handedly. Yes, the brave students, iving and dead, who struggled here with cranky linotypists and impossible deadlines, used both hands.
