This sent the legislation, a major follow-up to last year's sweep- ing civil rights law, to a Senate-House conference committee to work out a compromise. The Senate passed a somewhat different version May 26. Seven Southern states-Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and parts of North Carolina-would have REP. EMANUEL CELLER High Official Missing in Soviet Union MOSCOW (R)') A member of the Soviet Union's top command was missing Wednesday and yesterday, without public explanation, from a session of the Supreme Soviet (parliament) of the Russian Fed- erated Republic. The missing official is premier of that republic, the Soviet Un- ion's largest, and, more important, a member of the top-level Com- ,munist Party Presidium. He is Gennady I. Voronov, who rose to prominence in the era of Nikita S. Khrushchev. Voronov's last re- ported public appearance was June 4. Three other prominent Soviet ! leaders have been missing recent- ly from important functions: Nikolai V. Podgorny, former Ukraine party chief who became a top Soviet party secretary under Khrushchev; Pyotr Y. Shelest, Ukraine party chief who became a candidate member of the top Presidium under Khrushchev and a full member after Khrushchev's fall last October, and Pyotr N. Demichev, a light industry spe- cialist and candidate member of the. ruling presidium. Voronov has been considered a member of the collective leader- ship which took over the Soviet reins after Premier Khrushchev was deposed last fall as party and government chief. Voronov's absence coincides with the disappearance from public view of presidium member Pod- gorny, a party secretary who pre- sumably was'second to Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev. Diplomatic sources considered the absence of Voronov from his own parliament's session strange, but the more cautious ones hesi- tated to jump to a conclusion that he had been ousted from the leadership. their voting rights literacy tests suspended under the House bill. Federal officials could be sent in to register Negroes. Poll Taxes The bill also outlaws poll taxes in state and local elections, a pro- vision that could lead to difficul- ties with the Senate in working out a final version of the legisla- tion. The Senate refused to ban poll taxes, but would subject them to a quick court test. Rep. Emanuel Celler played a crucial role yesterday in the pass- age of the bill, defending it several times against weakening amend- ments. His has been a central role throughout the bill's stay in the House. The House adopted several amendments to the 4ill but re- jected a Republican substitute by a 215-166 vote, a far wider margin than had been expected. Rep. Robert McClory (R-1) offered the poll tax amendment and it was promptly endorsed by Celler. Rep. William M. McCul- loch (R-Ohio), author of the GOP substitute, opposed the amend- ment but the House put it in by a 82-33 vote. Reversal The house also reversed itself on another amendment it had adopted earlier, which would have permitted Spanish-speaking Puer- to Ricans in New York to qualify to vote under the state's literacy test. The amendment, offered by Rep. Jacob H. Gilbert (D-NY), would have declared that a person educated for at least six years in a non-English speaking school under the American flag would meet a state's literacy require- ments. It is already in the Senate bill and the House approved it, 110 to 74, on a non-record vote while it was considering the legis- lation. Rep. Paul A. Fino (R-NY) led the fight against it and demanded a separate roll call on the issue, which resulted in its defeat by. a 216-202 vote. Rep. John V. Lind- say (R-NY), a candidate for may- or of New York, voted for it, but most of his party colleagues voted against it. FCC Speaks on Ad Loudness WASHINGTON (/P)-The Fed- eral Communications Commission will raise an official eyebrow next week at what it deems to be ex- cessive loudness in radio and television commercials. Broadcasters will be urged to exercise their control room skills on pre-recorded commercials so that the noise. level doesn't come as a jarring contrast to the sound level of programs they interrupt. The FCC statement of policy- declaring that the public interest requires some action to reduce the noise level of commercials-is the result of a two-year study spearheaded by Chairman E. Wil- li'im Henry, a frequent critic of commercial noise. -Daily-Thomas R.

The previous differences between freshman-sophomore and junio-senior rates was eliminated. Approv e Fial Budet Fiure By JOHN MEREDITH t By a 5-2 vote, the Regents approved a record high $69.47 mil- lion general funds budget at a special meeting yesterday after- noon. The $69.4 million figure brings the total University budget for 1965-66 to $167.63 million, an in- crease of $20.4 million over last year's budget. According to Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns, merit faculty pay hikes and money for employing new teachers are the top priority budget items. 'Need It All' "We need every bit of money allocated in the budget," Heyns said, "and to fall short in any re- spect would have serious conse- quences for the University." The general funds budget, which covers most of the basic costs of instruction, consists of a $51.25 million state appropriation. (up $7.16 million from 1964-65) plus anticipated gross student fee rev- enues of $18.72 million (an in- crease of $3.30 million). This boosts the general funds budget only $10.4 million, com- pared to a $13.2 million increase projected last October when the Regents submitted an appropria- tions request to the state and a 819 million request to the adm'~n- istration from the deans of the schools and colleges. Heyns said the final budget will not take care of all the deficien- cies foreseen last fall, but he call- ed the $69.47 million figure a "gratifying improvement."' Projection The fall general funds budget projection totaled $72.28 million, divided into an appropriations re- quest of $55.73 million and esti- mated gross fee revenues of $16.89 million. The amount approved yesterday is the result of the low- er state appropriations, offset in part by a tuition rate increase. Additional revenue from the rate hike, when adjusted to dis- count extra money designated to help needy students pay the high- er fees, will total about $1.45 mil- lion. When this is deducted from the amount by which the state appropriation differs from the Re- gents' fall request, the University is left with a discrepency of roughly $3 million between incom- ing revenues and spending plans worked out last fall. Heyns explained that the budget has been brought into balance by economizing in a number of dif- ferent areas. "We shaved the least off merit faculty salary increases," he said. "Last fall we hoped to increase this area of the budget by $4.5 million; now we are settling for $3.8 million." Breakdown Breaking this figure down, he explained that this year the budget provides $2.8 million more than in 1964-65 for faculty salary increases (compared to a project- ed $3.3 million raise). The re- mainder of the $3.8 million hike, he said, will go toward raising the, pay of supporting staff, such as secretaries and other office per- sonnel. Heyns said that all faculty pay- hikes are merit increases-that is, increases resulting from such fac- tors as promotion and seniority. "There will be no across the board faculty pay-raise this year," he added. Since 1957-58, when economic recession in Michigan forced the state to keep higher education appropriations to a minimum, the University's faculty pay-scale has severely dropped from its position as fourth highest in the nation. In the 1964-65 American Associa- tion of University Professors rat- ings, the University fell from a "B" to a "C" rating in the mini- mum salary classification. The overall salary rating continued to be a "B." Criteria Heyns pointed out, however, that this rating is based on very limited criteria and noted that, if the University considered the rat- Halt Graduated Fee Schedules To Assess State Residents $348; Out-of-Staters To Pay $1000 By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN Reports of an impending tuition hike were substantiated yesterday as the Regents approved with two dissenting votes a student fee increase at a special budget meeting. As opposed to the University's old fee schedule which had different assessments for upperclassmen and lowerclassmen, the new undergraduate tuition charges are flat rates for all students. For undergraduates the new rate is $174 per semester for Michigan residents and $500 for out-of-state students. For graduate students, excepting those in medicine and Law, the rate is $190 for state residents and $550 for students But, he conceded that the Uni- versity has not yet recovered from the "lean years" of low state appropriations and cited this as a major reason behind the $10.4 million budget increase. "The relative drop in faculty pay has become a morale factor," he said, "and backed-up needs can't be removed in a single year." Enrollment Another area adjusted to cor- respond to the lower-than-plan- ned state appropriations figure is the allocation for increased en- rollment and augmented pro- grams. This figure, set at $6 76 ance, and research and public health. Libraries Libraries were cut from $604,000 to $446,000, although Heyns said that the book purchase fund was increased by 45 per cent. New building services, rehabilitation and maintenance was reduced to $579,918 and research and public health dropped from $723,455 to about $149,000. Heyns explained that the deans of the schools and colleges are in close contact with the administra- tion throughout the period of budget adjustment. The process COMPARATIVE TUITION RATES Yesterday the Regents approved a tuition hike at a special meeting. The following figures present a view of the Univer- sity's fees compared to those of the other state universities.

Law school fees are $260 for for nonresidents, and medical school assessments are $400 for in-state students and $800 for non-Michigan residents. Effective Soon The new rates will go into ef- fect this fall. For Michigan residents the in- creases reflect an increase over last year of $34 for freshmen and sophomores, $14 for juniors and seniors, $15 for graduate students, $20 for law students and $25 for medical students. Tuition charges for out of state students were raised by $50 for freshmen and sophomores, $20 for juniors and seniors, $50 for graduate students, $50 for law students and $50 for medical stu- dents. The tuition hike follows the approval by the Regents last month of a dorm fee increase of $50 for the fall. 'Necessary' University President Harlan Hatcher explained that the hike was necessary because of the dis- crepancy between the budgetary increase of $13,244,800 requested from the Legislature and the $7,169,127 appropriated by them. The tuition hike is expected to. yield gross additional revenue of $1,750,000, of which $250,000 will be appropriated to the Office of Financial Aids to help offset the cost of the hike for needy stu- dents, Executive Vice-President Marvin Niehuss said. "Under the new budget," Hatcher said, "the University will be a stronger institution than it was a year ago." Hatcher commented, however, that next year's budget will not completely eliminate the backlog of needs that have accumulated since the tight budget year of 1957 when the state was under- going a fiscal crisis. Lowest He pointed out that last year's tuition rates at the University were the lowest in the state, and that student fees have not risen as much as the increases in fam- ily income. Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger Heyns said that although the budget represents progress there are still needs which cannot be fulfilled because of the limitation of funds. The two dissenting votes were cast by Regents Irene Murphy and Carl Brablec. Brablec advocated amending the budget by cutting the hike for in-state freshmen and sophomores by $30. This would retain the differential be- tween tuition charges of juniors and seniors and those of under- classmen, he said.I' University President Harlan Hatcher noted that this institu- tion was the only school in the country which had charged grad- uated undergraduate tuition rates and said he believed the standard flat fee was a better system. Mrs. Murphy, who supported Brablec's amendment, said that the raising of freshmen tuition by $68 per year' would have deleter- ious repercussions. She comment- ed it would be fairer to have a differential between the rates for underclassmen and upperclass- men because the juniors and sen- million last fall, has been cut to $4.28 million. It was originally hoped that enough new teachers could be hired to reduce the present 14.6:1 faculty-student ratio in spite of an expected enrollment increase to 30,900. Heyns predicted that some reduction could still be made, although not as much as originally projected. _ Other adjustments of plannedl Michigan residents and $600 summer, when the deans submit- ted requests to the administra- tion for fund increases totaling $19 million. When a more realistic estimate of a feasible budget was worked out, Heyns said, the deans were again consulted and the figures were lowered. This produced the $13.2 million projection announced at the time of the state appro- priation request last fall. VICE-PRESIDENT NIEHUSS View Delay Of NDEA Bill.. In Congress By ROBERT MOORE A $700 million NDEA higher ed- ucation bill will probably not reach the House floor until some time in August, an informed source in Washington said yes- terday. The source, a member of an edu- cation lobbying group, said that President Lyndon B. Johnson has expressed a desire that the bill go on the floor in the first week of August, shorter than the normal time. But, the source also said, it would probably not make the floors of the House and Senate as quickly as the President wanted unless Johnson exerted special pressure. At present, the bill is being "re- ported," being printed and sent to legislators. The source said that there have been several changes in the copy of the bill which was publicized last month. The higher education bill would allow more use of National De- fense and Education Act (NDEA) funds for freshmen who need fi- nancial help to go to college and would guarantee loans to college students from banks, credit un- ions, etc. The most important changes in the bill, the source said, centered around the guaranteed loan claus- es of the bill. The new bill would use state institutions to distribute and administer the loan guaran- tees, not federal agencies.
