KILLINGSWORTH Special To The Daily WASHINGTON - Rep. Gerald Ford (R-Grand Rapids), the House minority leader, said yes- terday he believed that Secretary of State Dean Rusk was "the man who could best carry on" the policies of the Johnson adminis- tration "with the total confidence of the President" as the next United States ambassador to the United Nations. Ford, speaking in the Capital to a group of University students working as summer interns here, said he had "no way of knowing whom President Lyndon B.

He is reported to have indicated mis- givings recently to friends and re- porters about the U.S. interven- tion in the Dominican Republic and his shock at not being con- sulted on or informed about the U.S.-supported invasion of Cuba in 1961 until after he had begun de- fending the U.S. in the UN Se- curity Council. Republican Leaders Want To Be Asked about Asia By The Associated Press SAIGON-At the same time as U.S. authorities announced tighter security measures on correspondents covering the war here, Republi- can congressional leaders in Washington said yesterday that they want to be consulted-or at least told-in advance of important decisions about Viet Nam. Security also marked the political side of the war: U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara and newly-ap- Ford seemed to refer to this view - and the one that Rusk might be the next UN ambassador -when he said: "Having observed both of them, I suspect that, as opposed to former President John F. Kennedy, Johnson makes many more decisions on his own." Secondary Role Ford's reference to Rusk was believed to reflect a feeling by some observers here that the sec- retary of state has tended to ac- commodate himself to the views of the President and has taken a role markedly secondary to him in policy-making. Ford also discussed his activi- ties as leader of the House Re- publicans, saying that the fre- quent pro-administration votes of liberal Republicans has "not been frustrating to thedleadership at all" in its avowed attempt to evolve constructive alternatives to administration proposals. He said the leadership had made a study of major House votes which showed that 95 per cent of all House Republicans usually vot- pointed Ambassador Henry Cabot more troops should be sent here, Predict Rise In _Number Of Call-ups By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - T he Joint Chiefs of Staff are understood to have recommended that United States troop strength be boosted from the present 75,000 to 179,000 by the year's end, a Selective Service spokesman said yesterday. However, if a decision is made to expand draft calls, Selective Service can "deliver all the men the armed services could accept" in the first months of any buildup, he said. "We can handle, without any difficulty, a situation calling for even larger draft calls than the buildup in 1961-62 during the Berlin crisis, when the monthly calls reached 25,000 and were at the. 20,000 level a couple of months," the Selective Service spokesman said. Further Commitments Both President Lyndon B. John- son and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara have indi- cated that any further substantial troop commitments to South Viet Nam might result in expansion of the draft and the call-up of some reserves. McNamara is now on a mission to Saigon to study manpower needs there. He has said deci- sions will be made on his return. The August draft call is for 16,500 men, as compared with a July quota of 17,100. Other recent monthly calls have been 17,000 in June, 15,000 in May, 13,700 in April and 7,900 in March. No Indication The Selective Service spokes- man said there has been no indi- cation of how many men the de- fense department will seek in September.

The Republican congressional leaders talked at length again yes- terday about Johnson's course in Viet Nam and said, in effect, they support him but want to be con- sulted in advance of events. In particular, Sen. Everett M: Dirksen of Illinois and Rep. Ger- ald R. Ford of Michigan made clear they want to be asked, or at least told, about a call-up of re- serves or any large-scale commit- ment of troops beyond limits al- ready indicated by the adminis- tration. Both Dirksen and Ford were emphatic in their assertions that the Republican leadership should be consulted if there is any policy change which would commit great additional members of troops to a ground war, or a decision to call up the reserves. Consult "It is possible there might be an announcement of a policy change," Dirksen said. "Let's have a meeting with the joint Demo- cratic - Republican leadership in that event. If there is to be a large-scale involvement, Republi- cans should be consulted. We should be advised." Dirksen said reports of an im- minent call-up of reserves has "not been discussed with us." The new restrictions on casual- ty reports in the Vietnamese war were announced yesterday by U.S. authorities, who said the regula- tions were in the interest of mil- itary security. The announcement said casual- ties will be announced as weekly totals, but there will be no identi- fication by units. In addition to clamping down on casualty reports, the announce- ment said troop movements will not be announced or confirmed "until such time as military eval- uation determines such informa- tion is clearly in the possession of the Viet Cong." ence," Ford admitted. But he de- nied that liberal Republicans, in- cluding Rep. John V. Lindsay (R- NY) had hurt his attempt to pre- sent legislativehand philosophical alternatives to the administra- tion's great society program. Referring to the 208-202 vote- the closest yet for the President's program - against recommitting the administration controversial rent supplement plan, in which four liberal New York Republicans, IncludingLindsay, voted with the Democratic majority, Ford said that "there was not really only a six vote margin" on the tally. Votes Waiting The administration, Ford de- clared, had a sizable number of southern Democrats waiting off the floor -of the House to see if their votes would be needed to save the supplement plan. When it became evident that they were not, Ford said, the administration released the group to vote against the section to satisfy their con- servative constituents. He added that nearly 40 House Democrats had changed their minds only after intense White House persuasian to reverse their position and vote not to cut off the last of an agricultural air shipment to Egypt. Contrasted with this, Ford said, "we got a 100 per sent 'no' vote from House Republicans." Ask UN Action In Latin Feud UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The Dominican rebels asked yesterday for a meeting of the United Na- tions Security Council to act against joint patrolling by inter- American troops and junta police in Santo Domingo. Ruben Brache, the rebel spokes- man here, told a reporter he made the request orally to the council president, Platon D. Morozov of the Soviet Union and his foreign minister, Jottin Cury, had cabled Secretary-General U Thant. I -Associated Press THIS IS A COPY OF THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH FROM MARS which was sent back from the Mariner 4 yesterday. The white area is believed to be scattered light in the camera. The photo did not show anything of the "canals." The picture does, however, show dark areas which could be due to depressions or protrusions from the surface of Mars. Because of the sharp edge of the photograph, scientists believe there are no high mountain ranges on Mars.

Advice The contractor also favored a 40-hour week and union programs to get their present manpower to "work more efficiently and not kill the goose (new construction) that lays the golden eggs." Wheatley blamed contractors' "tight pocketbook policies" for helping to create the labor short- age, declaring: "Their policies have come back to haunt them." Wheatley said there is not a single trade union in Washtenaw County which has as high a pay' scale as similar unions in the Detroit area. Wheatley argued that, since Ann Arbor is the second highest- cost city in the United States and since it is one of two of the fast- est growing cities in the country, wages should be higher. Wages "On this basis, if the contrac- tors paid the building trades what' they should be paid, we'd have as high a scale as anyone in the country," Wheatley said. He recalled planning involved between himself and Brinkerhoff and said: "We know that without con- sidering any other construction, the University has enough work to keep all the local trade unions busy for at least two years. Earth Photo Shows Illuminated Desert Area Later Results Will Improve as Probe Draws Nearer Mars PASADENA, Calif. (IP)-Mariner 4's first close-up photo of Mars shows a bright desert north of the planet's equator. "We have no way of knowing exactly what area is shown," Dr. R. B. Leighton, who is connected with the project said. But he add- ed that data indicates the north- south photo tract will probably show portions of Desert Dephyria, the dark areas of Atlantis and Mare Serenum and the Desert Phaethontis-all names given to the areas of Martian terrain. Leighton said new trajectory figures indicated the camera track was slightly to the right of the originally planned trace. He said this would place the camera's field of view somewhat to the right. The picture was taken from an altitude of 10,500 miles and show- ed an area about 200 miles square. No Evidence The picture showed no evidence of the famed "canals" which some astronomers say they have seen. However, the picture did show some smudges apparent in the bright desert area. There was one long, dark smudge that ran from 30 to 50 miles long. It was hy- pothesized that the smudge could be either a prominence or a de- pression. An enlargement of the first frame showed the Desert Elysium as a vast area surrounded by small hills and wide, dark smudges, Dr. R. B. Leighton, describing the first photo at a news confer- ence last riight at the Jet Pro- pulsion Laboratory, said scientists expect to have difficulties with the Mariner pictures for several reasons: -"Mars has a flat, low-con- trast surface, which is difficult to photograph; -"The side of Mars we are observing is considered to be one of the most difficult for seeing details; -"The camera has a certain amount of fog in it-reducing the contrast. This will render pictures somewhat more difficult in the processing stage;" and -Several of the camera's scan lines have failed somehow, caus- ing streaks across the frame. Last One Taken The picture was taken Wednes- day night as Mariner 4 whizzed by Mars in the climax of its historic photo mission. It was recorded on tape, then sent to Earth in an 8-hour transmission yesterday. Experts hope a total of 20 pic- tures will be received over a 10- day period, with the shots getting progressively better due to closer proximity to the planet and an improving camera angle. Mariner's best shots should be 100 times better than those taken through Earth telescopes, and should show objects as small as 12 miles across. Non-Photographic Finding Earlier, a panel of scientists re- ported on some of Mariner 4's non-photographic findings. They said that instruments indicated that it has almost no magnetic field. Due to this weak field, it has not trapped a ring of intense rad- iation from the Sun, as Earth's strong field has. Due to Mars' thin atmosphere- which doesn't screen out solar and outer space radiation. as Earth's thick blanket of air does-radio- active particles bombard t h e Earth and create a high level of background radioactivity. Not Severe Even so, there is no indication that radiation is severe enough to be a hazard to man. Radiation, or lack of it, is a vital factor in space exploration. It can harm both electronic in- struments and humans.

The decision on Bach school was in response to charges made by Mrs. Emma Wheeler, president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that transferring Negroes from Jones School would * UAC OUTDOOR DEBATE: African Apartheid-Separation or Suppression? By ROBERT MOORE Two South Africans squared off yesterday on the controversial problem of South African racial policy, in a debate-discussion sponsored by the University Activity Center. One, Richard Moll, a South African presently attending George Washington University in Washington, D.C., advocated a modified policy of racial separation, similar to the status quo. The other, Prof. Eric Krystal of the University's Center for Research on Conflict Resolution, asked for an international boycott to force South Africa to remove its present apartheid policy. Many Things Wrong "I realize that many things are wrong in South Africa," Moll' told an outdoor audience of about sixty. "But there is still a situation at home which must be dealt with realistically." He said that doing away with separation between the separate Sraco in South Afriea-the whites and the Bantu-would hurt both Disagreement between the two centered on the nature of apart- heid as a South African racial policy. Flexible Policy Moll explained that he was advocating a flexible policy of+ separate development for two culturally separate races. "I am talking about an honest separate development policy, not a policy of keeping the Negroes under submission as it has sometimes been." He said that since 1948, apartheid policy has become more and more flexible. Krystal disagreed, saying that apartheid was not flexible, that opposition has continually been "stilled" in political quarrels and tha the Bantu still continue to have an average income one- twe itieth of the whites' average income in the system of "mad racism." "The white people in South Africa," Krystal said, "have reached the point where they feel they can ignore world opinion." Workable and Fair create a racial imbalance in Bach School. The Citizens' Advisory Commit- tee on Special Projects, however, told the board June 30 that it saw no evidence that such a situation would occur. Result of Recommendation The decisidn to use the Jones School building was the result of recommendations by school Supt. Jack Elzay. 1Recommendations of these ac- tivities include the transfer of the preschool program to a larger room; preservation of the total auditorium and one classroom for a library-study, tutorial center; reservation of the gymnasium and shower-locker area for day- evening recreation programs; ren- tal of 6000 square feet of floor space to accommodate storeroom supply requirements; housing of the district's coordinator of special projects and his staff and offices for federal programs at Jones. __ _ _ _ ti.4 ... :: ..:: ..,.' .::.v -:::. is ; i; :1'."::: :"::::::..:v....
