LXXV, No. 65-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1965 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES FRANK SESSION: President Briefs Senators WASHINGTON (P) - President Lyndon B. Johnson gave senators what one of them described as a "frank and candid" briefing on Viet Nam yesterday, and the chief executive told reporters later: "We're there to stay." After meeting an hour and 45 minutes with about 40 senators at the White House, Johnson told newsmen he sees no substantial division in the nation or Congress over his Viet Nam policies. House members will attend a similar briefing this week, and on Aug. 17, Johnson disclosed, he will meet with representatives of busi- ness, labor and the professions for another exchange of views. "We're there to stay," Johnson said at an afternoon press brief- ing. "We're going to do what we need to do to, resist aggression. When aggression ceases, resist- ance ceases." While Johnson spoke at the White House, scores of demon- strators against United States policy in Viet Nam were being arrested outside the capitol. The senators heard from, and then fired questions at Johnson and his top advisers, including Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, retiring U.S. ambassador to South Viet Nam. Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R- Ky) described the briefing as "frank and candid." Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) called it "the best and most ef- fective briefing we've had at the White House since I have been going there." But Javits asked whether such a briefing takes the place of the debate he has sought on Viet Nam, said "I don't think it's the same thing at all. . . . I feel it extremely important to have a debate." Cit y Planing Major Task Of Coun* City planning continues to be the major task, of the Ann Arbor City Council as. it continues to hear testimony and opinion in re- lation to the report of the Joint Committee on Central Business District High-Rise and Parking Development. The Council acted on several related issues last night at its regular session. Mayor Wendell Hulcher gave formal commendation to the com- mittee for its work, Communica- tions from several Ann Arbor de- velopers expressed fear that pro- posed projects might fail as their Sspecifications are contrary to items in the committee's report. Slated To Act While the council was slated to act on an amendment adding the 180-foot ceiling for high-rise buildings to current statutes, the ,issue was not brought up for con-, sideration. Significant of Council's interest in informing developers of its in- tentions was a motion passed au- thorizing the city administrator to consult with developers of a high rise at Maynard and East Wil- liam Streets. The administrator was authorized to act in respect to current ordinances and the un- official information given in the report. This would include the sub- ject of the amendment left un- considered by Council. The Council acted out of 'fear that the Maynard-East William development might not provide sufficient parking space when completed. No construction has been begun on the building. Consider Amendment Council can consider the amend- ment for second ,reading and ap- proval at will. It awaits further comment from the City Planning Commission. The comments made by develop- ers have in general expressed fear that their investments will be lost as hasty and superficial legis- lation is created. One developer felt that by passing this legisla- tion, the Ann Arbor City Council would encourage "prairie dog and pigeon roost architecture." 34-Page Critique Richard D. Ahern, architect and planner for the Ann Arbor Apart- ment Trust, submitted a 34-page critique of the committee's report. Written from an architectural PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON briefed senators yesterday on the scope and direction of the War in Viet Nam at the White House. Most senators were satisfied with the briefing and in- dicated support of Johnson's policies. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont); majority leader, said the meeting showed no indication of any shift in Viet Nam strategy. He said Johnson answered questions "with vigor and candor." Describing the briefing, John- son said Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara reviewed the military situation in Viet Nam, what the men there are doing, what the plans are, and what the conditions are as he sees them today. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Johnson said, went over the po- litical situation and efforts in the past and effort now in line with the presidential offer to engage in unconditional discussions in the search for peace. Johnson said Arthur Goldberg, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, reviewed conversations with UN Secretary General U Thant and representatives of many countries, plus letters ex- changel by the President and U Thant on trying to bring peace in Viet Nam. The President - said "I would w a r n any would-be, hopeful enemy of the United States not to believe this nation is divided." Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) said the briefing covered a wide front, but "I heard nothing new or startling." But Sen. D. J. Inouye (D-Hawaii) termed the session "the most encouraging two hours I have spent at any White House briefing." This was an obvious reference to demonstrations staged the last few days outside the White House. "If the people of the United States could have been sitting in the room," Inouye said, "I am con- vinced there would be very few picketings and demonstrations on this matter." Sen. E r n e s t Gruening (D- "heartened" by the briefing of the senators he and another group of senators received during a 90- minute session at the White House. Alaska), one of the most consist- ent critics of the President's Viet Nam policy, told a reporter he was Ohio Grads Urge Board The Ohio State University Alumni Association's .Board of Directors has adopted a resolu- tion approving OSU President Novice G. Fawcett's recommenda- tion for revision of the OSU speakers rule. They also urged the OSU Board of Trustees to reconsider a change in the rule. Ten of the eleven directors unanimously approved the resolu- tion in a special meeting last Thursday. Lawrence E. Laybourne, Asso- ciation President and assistant publisher of Time magazine, sent a telegram to Trustee Chairman Alan Loop urging reconsideration. The directors plan no further action on their recommendation. according to John M. Vorys a member of the Alumni Board. "While it is unusual for the Board to interfere in.University" decisions we felt that the present faculty and'student organizations had taken a proper position and that it was important enough to take action on," Vorys said. OAS Team Solution Not A cceptab le SANTO DOMINGO(JP) - The Organization of American States (OAS) yesterday appealed to the contending factions in the Domin- ican crisis to agree on a provi- sionalgovernment, but the peace formula quickly ran into opposi- tion from both sides. The OAS proposal-calling for a provisional government headed by lawyer-diplomat Hector Garcia Godoy, with elections to follow within nine months-was objected to by the rebel constitutionalists, who had been expected to endorse it. Col. Francisco Caamano, who heads the rebel group, told a news conference the proposal was a "surprise" and that many of the features had not been discussed between the OAS committee and the rebels. He promised to outline the objectionable features to rewsmen today.I The civilian military junta made no immediate comment, but some of its members privately said the proposal wasanotnacceptable because its form amounted to ani impositicm. Earlier, United States Ambas- sador Ellsworth Bunker told news- men he foresaw a quick accept- ance of the reconciliation formula. He termed the proposal "equitable, fair and reasonable.".1 It was also learned from reliable sources that the OAS committee had suggested to both sides that an answer on the formula by Wednesday would be welcome. I The OAS document, called "the act of national reconciliation," was presented to the factions yester- day morning by the OAS negotiat- ing committee and also was dis- tributed throughout the country by truck and planes. Some members of the civilian military junta privately expressed criticism of the document which provides for a general amnesty and the return of rebel officers to the armed forces. They saidt Dominicans should be given an opportunity to settle their own affairs without foreign pressure. Garcia Godoy, who would pre- side over the provisional regime, said he expected the formation of the government to be announced probably late this week.' He told reporters two or threeI years would be better to prepare the country for elections, but the population is impatient. "In any event," he added, "I don't intend to stay on one day longer than nine months."r Garcia Godoy said his govern- ment would include nine ministers. He declined to disclose any names but said it was not yet certain whether the cabinet would include a military man. The OAS team, declaring the Dominican Republic is "on the point of ruin" after more than three months of internal strife, proposed that there be no further payment of salaries to military men or outside economic aid until a provisional government is established.t To solve one of the knottiest problems of the Dominican situ- ation-what to do with military men on both sides, or unaligned with either side-the plan calls for all military personnel to return to their units, without prejudice. Those who do not wish to do this would be free to leave the country.- The three-nation team, compos-E ed of OAS Ambassadors Ilmar Penna Marinho of Brazil, Ramon De Clairmont Duenas of Salvador, and Ellsworth Bunker of the Unit- ed States, made known its rec- ommendations to a special con-t ference of the OAS which met ini secret session in Washington yes-i terday.t SingaporeChartsNet SINGAPORE W)-Premier Lee' Kuan Yew charted a neutral course yesterday for newly inde- pendent Singapore and said he hoped for diplomatic relations and trade with Indonesia and trade with China. His statement brought an angry blast from Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur, capital of the Federation of Ma- laysia. Warning against diplomat- ic relations with Indonesia, -which has sworn to crush Malaysia, Rah- man told a news conference: "If they do that, the obvious intention is to harm our inter- ests. We can't allow that to hap- pen. We would take action." The federation's decision to oust Singapore was good news in In- donesia and brought predictions from Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong that the federation faced dissolution. Departure With the departure of Singa- pore, the federation consists of Malaya and theBorneo states of Sarawak and Sabah. In Jakarta, First Deputy Pre- mier Subandrio said - Indonesia will recognize Singapore if it "proclaims itself an independent state." The sudden and dramatic move to cut Singapore loose from the federation was aimed at sealing off a bitter racial political feud between largely Chinese Singapore and federal leaders most of whom are Malays. But it was followed almost immediately by fresh storm signals. Tears of Anger Lee, wiping away what he called tears of anger, told a news con- ference the decision for his state to quit Malaysia and become a sovereign unit was forced on him by Rahman. Lee said Rahman told him dur- ing secret talks in Kuala Lumpur Saturday that separation was the only alternative to the tlhreat of racial strife in this multiracial nation. Shared by Malays, Chi- nese and Indians, the federation was formed Sept. 16, 1963. Crowding BRINGS ANGRY BLAST: Haun Predicts Less Dorm Than Expected i~utHalls NEWLY INDEPENDENT Singapore and other former British territories in the Malaysiaen Federation, Malaya, Sarawak and Sabah are distinguished in black with Singapore underlined. "I told him that I thought there vision networks to explain the was another way out," Lee said,. breakaway move to the people. He "that we could remain in the federation if it were a little looser.. But the Tunku said if we insist- ed he would not be able to con- trol . . . he said there, would be communal trouble and bloodshed if we did not get out. This was a moment of anguish." Independent Policy The Singapore premier then sketched an independent foreign policy for his island nation. Rahman noted that the separ- ation papers signed over the week- end pledged both sides not to "enter into any 'treaty or agree- ment with a foreign country which may be detrimental to the independence and defense of the territory of the other party." Rahman capped the day by go- ing on nationwicle radio and tele- emphasized that "this way is best" to end the internal fight with Singapore. Calling it an "amicable settle- ment," the prime minister said: "We now separate on terms of friendship." He put the blame for the de- velopment on Singapore's politi- cans, saying they have been op- posing the federal government chiefly on grounds of race. Lee formed a Chinese-dominated "Malaysian Malaysia" movement. The movement claimed extremist Malsy in Rahman's alliance party were seeking to establish Malay supremacy in this country whose 11 million population is 61 per cent non-Malay and includes 4.2 million Chinese. To Still Be Overflowing High Dorm Fees, Broken Contracts Lower Fall Demand By NEAL BRUSS Estimates of overcrowding in University residence halls have been lowered because of with- drawn and terminated contracts for the fall, Eugene Haun, Direc- tor of Residence Housing said yesterday. Steps were taken this 'semester by a committee of residence hall administrators to prepare for pos- sible overcrowding. Furniture was purchased and installed for 306 students. Every student who sign- ed a residence hall contract was planned to be assured of a per- manent space. That expectatior has been realized. Haun said that the residence hall system is prepared to house students who planned on movin into new structures that are no completed by their expected fa deadlines. Last fall, 460 students could not be accommodated when the3 showed up, and were put int temporary housing-cramped anc noisy. Single Accommodations Haun said that the figure o1 306 came from single accommoda- tions converted to doubles and doubles, to triples. His committee planned the installation in ac- cordance with state and local housing regulations. A figure of near 800 extra stu- dents was expected, but was not realized. Many students that an- ticipated living 'in University housing withdrew their applica- tions at the increase in room fees Haun expected further decreases in the figure from additiona withdrawals and freshmen not en- tering the University as expected. He spoke of a need for adapt- ability in the housing system so that it can accommodate stu- dents in emergency situations, ar- riving on campus without housing, and in other ways without room- ing. Usual Halls Freshmenand sophomore stu- dents are to be housed in usual residence halls, with Oxford. Co- Ops being assigned on a voluntary basis. Services, such as dining hours, are planned to be expanded due to increased occupancy. Students will be able to find work in the residence halls, though it is not expected that the number of em- ployes will be greatly increased. The increase in students was forseen at least seven years ago, when Bursley Hall, a proposed co- ed dormitory was completely plan- ned. Due to a state fiscal crisis, no funds were available for con- struction, and the work was not undertaken. New Structures Two new structures for upper- class and graduate student hous- ing, Cedar Bend I & II will be completed by August, 1966. In addition, Bursley Hall, now under construction, will be completed some time thereafter. Overcrowding is a common prob- lem in American universities, Mr. Haun stated. While the Univer-, sity was forced to provide several hundred temporary spaces last fall, Michigan State was over- crowded by nearly one thousand students. Other school facilities are overworked to as great an extent as residence halls ,but they serve a vital function in provid- ing living, study and entertain- ment space at a student's most critical stage, he concluded.

But even countrywide they haven't recovered yet from the divi- sions which plagued them in 1964 and the political catastrophe which overwhelmed them in November. It left them with only 141 out of 435 seats in the House, 32 out of ATHENS (AP) -- King Constan- tine's attempt to find a compro- mise premier ended in defeat yes- terday, confronting the young monarch once again with the prospect of returning George Papandreou to power or calling new elections. The deputies of Papandreou's Center Union Party stood behind him and refused to let the party's deputy leader, Stephanos Stephan- opoulos, try to foim a new gov- ernment. Stephanopoulos, given a mandate by the king last night, said he would give it back to Con- stantine today. The developments left Greece even deeper in its worst political crisis since the 1947-49 Commun- ist civil war, and put Constantine in an increasingly difficult posi- tion. His actions in the 25-day-old crisis have tested the very institu- tion of the monarchy and brought almost daily street demonstrations, with hundreds injured and one dead. Rejects Demand Last night the monarch reject- ed 77-year-old Papandreou's de- mand that he be named premier or call new elections. The mon- arch asked Stephanopoulos, 66, to undertake an "exploratory man- date." But Stephanopoulos, who had been Papandreou's deputy pre- mier, said he would not accept unless a majority of Center Union deputies approved. Papandreou, going along with Stephanopoulos, summoned the deputies to a cau- cus yesterday. After more than three hours of 100 seats in the Senate, and 17 moment there's no reason to think< they will improve their fortunes much in the 1966 elections. After the GOP national com- mittee met two days this summer Chairman Ray C. Bliss said the members were "not cocky" about the party's chances "but we honesty believe we can make gains." Party leaders have been wor- ried that a sprawl of independent research and campaign groups will cloud party policy and splinter financing in the 1966 elections. Meanwhile Johnson, luckily free of unpredictable difficulties at home, like an economic downturn or paralyzing strikes or fights, has been setting an astonishing pace and record. out of 50 governorships. At this debate the deputies voted 116 to 26 to support Papandreou's de- mands and to deny permission for Stephanopoulos, or any other party leader, to become premier. Because Papandreou had agreed to the caucus and urged his fol- lowers not to demonstrate, it ap- peared he might be relenting to- ward the king. But once the cau- cus got under way it became clear Papandreou had maneuvered to show the king that the Center Union Party was remaining united and that Stephanopoulos was not available for the king's mandate. Stephanopoulos told the caucus, according to party officials, that he had "no ambition to become premier" and that he did not thank the king for the mandate because he felt the king "knew that a government could not be formed without the Center Union Party." This was implied support for Papandreou. Told Caucus Officials said Papandreou told the caucus the king was abusing his right to name premiers, and that he should call on party lead- ers, who "are chosen by the people." After the caucus, Stephanopou- los said he would accept the vote. He implied that the king, instead of bowing to Papandreou or call- ing new elections, would now try to get other politicians to try to form a government. The king, Stephanopoulos told n e w s m e n, planned to "revert to a third, fourth and even fifth solution."
