ap ital Girds for National iet Nam Tea ch-l n By HAROLD WOLMAN Special To The Daily WASHINGTON-Foreign policy experts from across the coun- try are gathered here today to participate in the national teach-in, confronting the administration with the academic critics of American policy in Viet Nam. The teach-in has caught the excitement of those-in the capital who deal in foreign policy as well as the aware public throughout the nation. On the eve of the meeting it appears as though the program, which was conceived at the University several weeks ago, will be a major success. Reports from Congress indicate that several congressmen and scores of staff assistants will attend. Similarly, personnel of the State Department, the Office of the President, and other executive agencies are expected to be present in large numbers. New York and Washington newspapers are treating the teach- in as a major event in both their news and editorial discussions. The television networks have all announced plans to carry large portions of the program, and many radio stations across the coun- try will carry the proceedings live, using the transmission facilities that are carrying the event to hundreds of colleges. Over 200 news reporters are slated to attend the session. An overflow crowd is expected to jam into the Sheraton Park Hotel to witness the meeting. Ironically, the Army Chief of Staff will be giving an Armed Forces Weekend speech dealing partly with Viet Nam in the same hotel. Thursday, Rep. Weston Vivian (D-Mich) commended the teach-in to the attention of his fellow congressmen. In a House speech, Vivian termed the teach-in a reasonable expression of democratic procedures and accused those who proposed the pro- posed the program of being opposed to free and open discussion of government policy. Congressional assistants said yesterday that the teach-ins held in recent weeks have made Congress aware of public discontent with United States policies in Viet Nam, but that it was doubtful that they had done much to change congressional opinions of the policies. According to a member of the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, this is primarily because Congress abdicates foreign relations responsibilities to the President. An assistant to Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) claimed that "the tragedy of all this as far as Congress is concerned is that the academic community is really doing the job of Congress and the Foreign Relations Committee." "In January," the aide continued, "Senator Fulbright (chair- inan of the Foreign Relations Committee) turned down the idea of hearings on Viet Nam as serving no useful purpose. He didn't want to embarrass a Democratic President. If Barry Goldwater had been President, there would have been hearings every day of the week." The teach-in organizers report excellent co-operation from the executive branch. They believe that the administration is quite anxious to use the program as an opportunity to justify the Viet Nam policies to the nation's intellectual community. The formal program of the teach-in will begin at 9 a.m., with speeches by Prof. Hans Morganthau of the political science depart- ment of the University of Chicago, Prof. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. of Harvard's political science department, and political scientist Isaac Deutscher. The afternoon will witness a debate between McGeorge Bundy, special assistant to the President, representing the administration viewpoint, and George Cahin, Cornell University political scientist. Nine seminars on different aspects of the Viet Nam policies will be held simultaneously in the evening. The teach-in organizers plan a meeting after the seminars at which they hope alternative policies for United States action in Viet Nam will be formulated and articulated. They hope that the State Department will respond to any results of this meeing. McGEORGE BUNDY ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, JR.

Weston E. Vivian (D-Ann Arbor), along with seven other Michigan liberals, joined forces with South- ern segregationists and opposed the move. "HUAC has rarely brought forth useful legislation and, in- stead, has just engaged in exposure for exposure's sake. I favor an investigation of the KKK by the House Judiciary Committee so we'll get legislation and not just grist for the pages of the newspapers," Vivian said. Three University professors re- cently agreed that Vivian's vote was not against an investigation of the Klan but against the func- tion of HUAC itself. Vivian's tactics were "a back- handed way of trying to end the whole committee," Prof. Paul G. Kauper of the Law School said. Profs. Norman C. Thomas and Joseph E. Kallenbach of the poli- tical science department both supported Vivian.

First Device China's first atomic device in October was presumed to have been exploded atop a tower at Lop Noi, a lake in the Takla Ma- kan desert of Singiang province. By an air drop, the Chinese would have sought to show the "deliver- ability" of their nuclear weapons. The U.S. State Department said the new blast came in the same area as the first but cast doubt on whether the Communist Chi- nese had "a meaningful delivery system" for their atomic weapon. Fallout from China's second nuclear test is expected to take a little longer to spread around the wrold than did the debris from tihe first explosion last fall. But, like the fallout from the first test, it is not expected to pre- sent any significant health haz- ard anywhere in the world. Important Achievement Radio Peking said the latest nuclear test was detonated at 10 a.m. Peking time (9 p.m. EST, May 13) and called it "another important achievement." Japan, which reported fallout from the first Chinese explosion,1 immediately issued a strong pro- test, accusing the Chinese of ig- noring the wishes of the Japanese people and world public ,opinion by its defiance of the Nuclear Test Ban barring atomic tests in the atmosphere. to Arthur Peterson, newly-ap- pointed research director of the GOP. Peterson has, according to ob- servers here, good reason to pr~e- dict that GOP Chairman Bliss will be very active In paving the way for a Republican resurgence to power. Bliss played a very important part last week in convincing Lind- say, a young but. prominent Con- gressman from Manhattan's "silk- stocking district," to announce his candidacy againstrNew York May- or Robert Wagner. Lindsay was reportedly very re- luctant to engage Wagner in thei coming November New York may- oral election. Normally the Demo- crats command a 3-1 majority in the city. How did Bliss convince Lindsay, as he did, to run? Although it is unclear just what Bliss did over the weekend to change Lindsay's mind, it can be said with certainty that the GOP chairman made a big difference. According to insiders, Bliss argued that party morale across the board would be hurt if the Republicans did not provide a choice for New York voters.I RAY BLISS chance of victory in future major elections. This conclusion, ignored by' many at the time of its announce- ment, was etched deeply on the minds of many party profession- als by the tremendous GOP de- feat of last fall, when Barry Gold- water made only weak appeals to city voters and sometimes seem- ed to write them off. Bliss' actions may mean that under his leadership the Republi- cans will be ready to finally fo- cus their attention on the nation's cities for the first time since the 1920 's. Bliss' career in Ohio indicates that he has a good knowledge of how to carry the major metro- politan areas for Republicans. For example, in 1958 he warned Republican officeseekers inhOhio not to become identified with the right-to-work issue, which was placed on the ballot in Ohio that year by amateur politicians and some businessmen. They did not heed his advice, to ignore the right-to-work issue, and the Republicans suffered a stunning defeat. When they did drop the right to work issue-in 1960-they regained most of their losses. In 1960, under Bliss, Nixon took Ohio over Kennedy. In 1962, all Republicans running for state- wide office swept into office on a 500,000-vote victory wave except the candidate who lost to incum- bent Sen. Frank Lausche (D- Ohio). Both times Republicans carried most of the large cities in Ohio. After the 1962 landslide, the national news magazines took note of Bliss. Cites 'SNCC Week' as Occasion For Congratulations and Support By ADA JO SOKOLOV In an unprecedented statement from the Office of Stu- dent Affairs, Vice-President Richard L. Cutler yesterday is- sued a statement praising the Student Non-Violent Coordinat- ing Committee for its "contributions to campus and national life." The vice-president for student affairs has traditionally not been outspoken on student activism and controversial student activities, especially those extending outside the University. The duties of his office have consisted primarily of determining recognition of campus organizations and functioning as a watchdog over students' rights. Explaining the reason for his statement Cutler said that "it is a part of the philosophy of the Office of Student Af- York political leaders, led by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Sen. Jacob Javits applied pressure. The pay- off came Thursday when Lindsay announced that he would chal- lenge Wagner's attempt for a third term as New York mayor. The candidacy of Lindsay may be the first real test of Bliss' ac- complishments as national chair- man of the GOP. Its strategy will no doubt renew a theme for the GOP which Bliss has stressed at least since 1961 when the "big city report" was released. The report, done by a study committee on GOP problems led In addition, he used his post by Bliss, said that the Republi- 1 and personal power to assure cans had to pay more attention Lindsay that ample financial sup- to the cities of the United States, port would be forthcoming. where most electoral power is now Besides the efforts of Bliss, New based, if they were to stand a ANN ARBOR'S HOTEL: Diverse Clientele To Use Q ad fairs that involvement in- meaningful and significant activities outside the class- room constitutes an integral part of the total educational experience for our students." Consistent with this philosophy, Cutler said that "it thus seems appropriate that the vice-presi- dent for student affairs take this, occasion of the anniversary weekj of the Student Non-Violating Co- ordinating Committee, to recognize1 and congratulate this organiza- tion." Cutler went on to endorse SNCC's involvement in the "ex-l cruciating efforts of our society to deal with the problems of rela- tionships between the two major races in America." This involve-i ment, he said, is consistent with the philosophy for student conduct of the Office of Student Affairs. The arena for such efforts, Cut- ler added, "may be quite circum- scribed, as in the case of acquiring added insight into one's motives and values ... Increasingly, stu- dentshave turned to such broad ; involvement as a means of meet- ing the challenge of personal, so- cial and moral development." SNCC has based its activities on compassion, patience, and the brotherhood of man, the state- ment continued. Concerning Cutler's statement, Executive Vice-President Roger W. Heyns had no comment last night. However, James Lesch, assistant to the vice-president for academ- ic affairs, said that he "heartily endorsed the statement. It fits with what I know about SNCC." Lesch added that "I believe it is the prerogative of the vice- ;resident of student affairs to comment on such student activi- ties at the University." Other ad- rninistrators were unavailable for comment. Joyce Reymer, '66, president of SNCC, made the following com- ment concerning Cutler's endorse- ment of her organization: "We of the Student Non-Violent Coordi- nating Committee are pleased to hear of Vice-President Cutler's Michigan Tech Restates Plans For Expansion, HOUGHTON ()-The president and the board chairman of Mich- igan Tech in a joint statement have restated the school's plans to establish a four-year program at its Sault Ste. Marie branch. In a statement issued Thursday, board chairman Charles Mosko- witz and President Raymond Smith expressed concern over the possibility that the Soo branch could become a separate, auton- omous institution lacking a "full four-year program with adequate state financing." Moskowitz and Raymond added they welcome the State Board of Education's tentative approval of a third year curriculum in three subjects at the Soo branch. They said they planned to ask the board for funds for a four-year program at the Soo in the 1966-67 budget. The board has authorized a study of the program. It is sched- uled to be completed by January 1. In contrast the Board of Edu- cation has vetoed University plans for expansion of the Flint branch into a four-year college, and has recommended autonomy for Flint. However, the board favors keep- ing Tech's Soo branch tied to the Houghton campus for economic reasons. Reveal Rights.
