REXFORD BE The State Senate Appropriations Committee introduced a bill last night that would give the University $1.1 million more than was allowed in Gov. George Romney's higher education budget; overall, the bill would add $4.9 million to Romney's proposed higher education budget for the whole state. Under the bill, the University would get $900,000 for its regular activities and $250,000 to provide for the enrollment of 200 freshmen at its Flint branch next fall. This bill was sent back to the appropriations committee for rubber stamp approval and is expected to come under consideration SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican of the 21,000 U.S. Marines and tendency Monday to capitulate F v a r t f: u s r. t Republic (') - Brig. Gen. Elias Wessin Y Wessin, whose planes and tanks beat off Dominican rebels in the bloody first days of the Dominican revolt, resigned from the armed forces yesterday under reported United States pres- sure. His retirement appears to have removed a major obstacle toward settling the Dominican crisis. Wessin's resignation came after meetings with U.S. Ambassador W. Tapley Bennett, Jr. and Lt. Gen. Bruce Palmer, commander parachute troopers in this trou- bled Caribbean country. The tough career officer agreed to leave the army and his post as commander of the Armed Forces Training Center, but he balked at leaving the country. Col. Fran- cisco Camaano Deno, rebel-pro- claimed provisional president, has been demanding that Wessin go abroad. to a tank and howitzer-backed force of U.S. and Dominican troops surrounding them. Scoffing at an invitation to quit the revolt, Camaano's insurg- ents appeared to be organizing their stronghold in Ciudad Nueva,' a low income residential and busi- ness section in Southeast Santo Domingo.

GILBERT BURSLEY State Board To Release I4White Paper An important development in the long controversy over the au- tonomy of Flint College is being awaited by state and University officials today. The State Board of Education is scheduled to send a "white paper" to the Legislature today explaining why it feels a new state college at Flint, rather than an expanded University branch, will provide greater educational opportunity for Flint area students. University officials remained mute yesterday on the proposed statement of the board's reasons for recommending Flint autonomy. Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss noted that the Univer- sity would probably not make an immediate reply to the board's 1K statement. "We will have to wait to decide upon a course of action until we have had an opportunity to study this recentstatement in detail," Niehuss said. Board members hope the state- ment will help sway lawmakers toward backing the board in its attempts to separate the Flint branch from its University parent. The state board reportedly will also seek a meeting with Univer- sity officials to arrange for an orderly transitional period, as- suming the Legislature votes in favor of the board's recommenda- tion. Board President Thomas J. Brennan said the board's recom- mendation has not been adequate- ly explained to the public. He said the "white paper" would contain the following points in the board's * rationale: -There is no question about the board's jurisdiction in the case of Flint under its constitu- tional mandate to plan and coor- dinate public education (Sen. Gil- bert Bursley [R-Ann Arbor] point- ed out that the board's function was merely advisory. -There is no organized opposi- tion to the recommendation be- sides at the University and at Flint where philanthropist Charles A. Mott has threatened to with- draw an offer of $2.4 million for Flint expansion if the board's pro- Sposal is followed. -University President Harlan Hatcher has said the University would agree to sever ties with the Flint branch at a future date if this was required under the mas- ter plan. But, Brennan asked, "What assurance do we have that he will follow the board's advice five years from now?" Charge HEW Exceeds Law on the floor of the Senate later in the week. Faculty Turnover Sen. GilberthBursley (R-Ann Arbor) said the committee i creased the budget over the amount proposed by Romney to provide improvement in faculty salary levels, and thus minimize faculty turnover. However, since Michigan's tenj state-supported colleges and uni-I versities enjoy autonomy from the Legislature under the state con- stitution, the increased funds could be used as desired, Bursleyf pointed out. The committee also introduced; a capital outlay bill, providingI funds for continuing construction of educational facilities, which would give the University $3.7 million plus shared funds of $2.8 million with other state schools. Continuing Construction The bill provides $100,000 for the east medical building and $575,000 for the general hospital. Medical science II building would receive $2 million for con-f tinuing construction (total cost not to exceed $9.4 million) if- the Legislature accepts the commit- tee's recommendations, and $1 million for the dental building. Additionally, a separate recom- mendation of $2.8 million was made for planning future con- struction at Michigan's colleges and universities under the cen- tralized planning authority of the state's department of adminis- tration. New Architecture Building Although this amount is to be shared in planning construction for all 10 of the state's schools, the University will receive funds for planning an architecture building, classroom and office buildings, a heating plant, general library, science building and a residential college in the Huron River area, Bursley said.

HOUSING PROGRAM: Bill To id orm Expansion By ANNE MARIE ELLSWORTH The expansion of the Univer- sity residence hall system may gain impetus with the passage of the extension to the College Hous- ing Program pending before the House of Representatives.

Study Revision Of Congress WASHINGTON (R) - A special Senate-House group opened a study of the operations of Con-; gress yesterday, and the first wit- ness said the legislative process is "no longer in tune with the gen- eral thinking of the times." Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa), the initial witness, called for changes that would: -Abolish the Senate filibuster -Limit speeches lasting longer than three hours -Permit the televising of his- toric 'congressional debates and votes on bills, if authorized by a specific vote. right that the move was a con- cession to the rebels, but answer- ed a question by saying this was "as far as we'll go." The eight removed were: Big Fiesta The rebels returned three Amer- ican Seabees they captured Fri- day. The Seabees said they got into rebel territory while trailing a lost jeep. They said they were well fed, guarded part of the time. by a teenage girl with a machine gun ..nd "invited to a big fiesta that will last for 30 days once this war is over." In Mexico City, Uruguay and Cuba lashed out at the United States for its troop landings in the Dominican Republic. Resent U.S. Landing The attack came during a meet- ing of the Economic Commission for Latin America (CEPAL). U.S. delegate Robert M. Sayre had pleaded Friday with the conferees to stick to economics. Uruguayan delegate Raul Ibar- 'a San Martin replied that eco- nomic development and politics cannot be separated. He said the United States had violated a prin- ciple of the Organization of Amer- ican States (OAS) charter by its unilateral action in the Domini- can Republic. - "No Uruguayan troops will land in Santo Domingo," he declared. His pledge aroused strong applause among many delegates. Cuba Agrees Cuba's Francisco Garcia Valls, deputy minister of economics ,took a much stronger line, charging the dispatch of American troops was "typical" of U.S. policy. "History once more proves us right. The U.S. aggression is there (in the Dominican Republic) to stay," he said. The Soviet Union's ambassador to Mexico, Semion T. Bazarov, an observer at the conference, said his country "joins in the indig- nation" at the U.S. troop landings in both the Dominican Republic and Viet Nam. year, warned, however, that a city+ income tax may be necessary to raise revenue inthe future. Record Budget She noted that, despite the rec- ord high budget, many of City Ad- ministrator Guy Larcom's original requests for funds had been cut. Yet, "In spite of these cuts of things that are needed in a dy- namically growing city such as ours, our tax rate is almost to the limitation set in the city charter. It is certainly apparent to all of us that there is, or will be before we face the budget again, a need for more revenue. "Many different sources of rev- enue have been suggesetd by tax authorities, but I believe the one we must focus on is the income tax." Although F. C. Pierce (D) also said that the city would soon be reachingits legalceiling for prop- erty taxes, instead of advocating an income tax, he suggested the possibility of raising the property tax ceiling. Adequate Source On the other hand, City Coun- cil member Ricnard E. Balzhiser (R) of the University's chemical engineering dept. said that the current legallimit on property tax would be an adequate source of revenue for Ann Arbor because of the city's expanding tax base. Currently the legal limit on property taxes in Ann Arbor is 7.5 mils. The city is now taxing at a rate .17 of a mill lower than the legal limit. Among the cuts made from Larcom's original requests was part of the appropriation for an Ann Arbor committee to aid the University's Sesquecentennial Cel- ebration from $15,000 for the first year to $12,500. FreSe ec eehNight Vigifl Successful By ADA JO SOKOLOV The student protest of April 28 at Ohio State University organized by the Free Speech Front proved successful yesterday. The Faculty Advisory Commit- tee announced' that it will sub- mit the results of its deliberations on the Speaker's Rule controversy to the Faculty Council June 8 in- stead of the original date in July. The Free Speech Front, a loose- ly organized protest group similar to Berkeley's Free Speech Move- ment,rhas held anumber of ral- lies and sit-ins and one teach-in to protest and examine the OSU speaker ban clause in the OSU charter. The original controversy arose last April 21 when OSU Vice- President John Corbally, Jr. in- formed the student organization which had invited Marxist speaker Herbert Aptheker, to address them that in all probability such a speech would not be allowed. This ban by the administration precipitated a 1000-student picket and sit-in at the administration building. FSF resolved to take no further action until April 28 to give Uni- versity officials time to examine the possibilities of liberalizing the speaker ban regulations. However, the administration and a faculty committee decided to postpone consideration of the question until July. Finding this unsatisfactory, FSF decided to hold an overnight sit-in in the administration build- ing on April 28. After the building closed about 500 students remained and kept an all night vigil. There were no incidents and no arrests. The dem- onstration was orderly and quiet. Jeffrey Schwartz, a spokesman for FSF, said recently that "the all night sit-in was a victory be- cause we were all orderly. We will be persistent in our demands, and we will continue to work un- til all our demands are met." Dean of Student Relations John T. Bonner said, "The students have lost considerable support from those who were on their side before this (concerning the all night demonstration)." It became apparent yesterday that the all night vigil had ac- complished its aims when it was announced that in fact the Facul- the $4,990,608 budget of fiscal 1964 were incurred by a 4 per cent across the board wage hike to all city employes and an additional 5 per cent raise to members of the police force.
