Harris Sees Power Clash On Agencies WASHINGTON {P} )- A key Democratic Congressional leader indicated possible trouble yester- day for any move by the new Ken- nedy administration to seek great- er White House authority over the troubled regulatory agencies. Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark) of the House Commerce Com- mittee made clear that Congress will take a dim View of any effort to tamper with the independent status of these agencies. Harris, whose committee handles. legislation dealing with the major agencies, is again offering a bill aimed at improving ethical stand- ards in the much criticized boards and commissions which regulate such activities as air and ground transportation, broadcasting and electric and gas utilities. He made no effort to hide his feeling that the cure to what trou- bles the regulatory bodies does not rest with augmenting White House authority. "I've made myself perfectly clear many times," Harris told a re- porter. "These agencies should not in any way be subservient to the White House or anyone else." So far, President-elect John F. Kennedy has given no public hint what he will propose, if anything, to revamp such agencies as the Civil Aeronautics Board, the Fed- eral Power Commission, the Fed- eral Communications Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission. But if Kennedy accepts all the recommendations laid before him last month by a special adviser he likely will find himself in a bruis- ing fight with Congress. The adviser is James M. Landis,4 former Harvard Law School Dean and a veteran of regulatory agency work. Landis, subsequently named as a Kennedy assistant to draw up agency reform proposals, sub- mitted just after Christmas a re- port accusing some agencies, among other things, of gross In- efficiency and subservience to in- dustry influence and lobbying. Much the same thing has been charged by the House Legislative Oversight Subcommittee, which went out of business this week after three years of looking into operations of the agencies. Harris headed this subcommittee. Where Landis is drawing con- gressional fire is in his reorganiza- tion proposal -- particularly his recommendation for creation of a White House overseer for the agencies. estern Nations Proposal for Peace in Lao Laos Capital Withstands Rebel Threat King Returns Home; Pro-Reds Still Fight VIENTIANE (P)-Pro-Commun- ist forces were reported advancing yesterday on Luang Prabang, but most indications were that the royal capital is not immediately threatened. King Savang Vatthana appar- ently held to this view by flying back to Luang Prabang after sev- eral earlier delays. He had spent several days in Vientiane, 140 miles south of the royal city, for the formal installation of Premier Prince Boun Oum's new anti-Com- munist government. The king's departure indicated rebel attacks in the Luang Pra- bang area are isolated clashes between guerrilla units of the pro- Communist Pathet Lao and patrols of the Royal Laotian army, Column Advancing A Pathet Lao column was re- ported advancing on Luang Pra- bang. French military sources in Vientiane indicated the city was being increasingly threatened. Other Western military men placed the column still 60 miles north of the city. (Radio Peiping, quoting a Lao- tian rebel broadcast, claimed the military post of Nam Pac, on the Hou River southeast of Luang Prabang, fell to the rebels Wed- nesday.) On the military front farther' south, Information Minister Boua- van Norasing claimed the rebel' base of Vang Vieng, 65 miles north of Vientiane, was captured by government forces Thursday. Report Airlift Halt (The National Broadcasting Co. said a top Soviet diplomat in Bangkok, Thailand, reported Sov- let planes are stopping their air- lift to Laos. A Bangkok dispatch from NBC correspondent James Robinson quoted the diplomat as saying that the civil war must be ended by negotiations. The dis- patch did not name the diplomat and said nothing of any Com- munist conditions for talks.) Western sources still have no confirmation of United States charges that substantialdnumbers of troops were parachuted to join the rebels. Indian Prime Minister Nehru said last night the big powers have allowed the Laos situation to go too far. "I don't think the danger of war there has ended," he told a meet- ing of his Congress party. "When I talk of war I do not mean a small war but a big war." YOUTH CORPS: Hayes Sees Rival Bills; Reuss Denies.. By JOHN ROBERTS t Prof. Samuel Hayes of the economics department last night suggested that "a little rivalry" may be responsible for the numerous, apparently uncoordinated studies and proposed bills on the Youth Corps. Prof. Hayes' comment came after the announcement of yet, another study, 'this one conducted by Prof. Millikan of Massachusetts' Institute of Technology. President-elect John Kennedy requested the report, which joined others submitted or under preparation by the Institute of International Education and the Colorado State Univer- TOM COLE . defensive ace chalks up two 'M' Cagers Overcome By Indiana By CLIFF MARKS Playing a fired up brand of basketball, Michigan battled heav- ily favored Indiana down to the final buzzer yesterday afternoon, only to see the Hoosiers win the Big Ten opener, 81-70 at Yost Fieldhouse. The Wolverines fell behind ear- ly and never could catch up al- though their valiant late drive carried them to within seven points of the powerful Hoosiers, who carded their seventh win of the year against three losses. Michigan Is Just the reverse, 3-7. Indiana started off as if it were going to blow the game wide open, scoring 18 points in the first six minutes to take a 13 point bulge as the fast break worked to perfection. When Michigan did get back on defense, the red hot Hoosiers made a couple of passes, then shot and scored. Michigan couldn't compete with this hot shooting, but when the tempo of play slowed down and Indiana cooled off, the losers came creeping back, twice narrowing the gap to eight points. With Indiana holding a 38-26 lead near the end of the half, the Wolverines had a chance to cut the margin to 10, but a shot went awry and Gordon Mickey tipped in a last second basket to give the winners a 14-point edge at Intermission. Michigan actually came back to outscore Indiana in the second half, 44-41, but the late spurt started after the issue was already settled, though many observers See LATE, Page 6 Prepar sity Research Foundation. In ad-i dition, Rep. Henry Reuss (D-Wis), Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Cal), and Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D- Minn), all have indicatedthey will propose legislation dealing with a youth corps. Prof. Hayes said that although both Roosevelt and Reuss were highly regarded by Kennedy, neither had "the inside track" and the bill favored by the new administration may well come from another office, Rep. Reuss last, night denied in Washington that there is any rivalry to submit the bill and stated that he was acting as a coordinator for Kennedy, Sen. Humphrey and the International Cooperation Administration (spon- sor of the Colorado group project, headed by Prof. Maurice Albert- son). "I have not met anyone with a real sense of rivalry about this," he said. "The important thing is to get the legislation passed. If someone else introduced a bill, I'd support it willingly. However, I have been serving as the co- ordinator." He said, however, that he had not seen the Millikan report and was not even sure whether it was in the form of a study or pro- posed legislation. Reuss added that he would sub- mit his bill as soon as he receives the Albertson report, due in mid- February. He was not sure whether it would be part of the Mutual Security legislation, but said that President-elect Kennedy would "certainly not" cause another bill to be introduced in opposition to his. Alan and Judith Guskin, grad- uate students, who are leaders of Americans Committed to World Responsibility, said that they were disturbed by the seeming lack of coordination in readying legis- lation on the peace corps. They feared that Congressional rivalry might jeopardize the chances for passage of the measure. However, they later added that the Reuss statement made the situation look more promising. ropean extremists do not wish to give Algeria freedom under any circumstances. "It is possible that de Gaulle will resign if he does not get an overwhelming majority," he said, but predicted that the vote to give Algeria a chance to vote on self-determination will gain ap- proval in metropolitan France. "De Gaulle will resign if he does not receive support but he will gain the support. It is not clear, however, what he will do with it," Jean R. Carduner, of the French department and a na- tive of France, said. The Army that is moving to each polling place is there to see that people vote and preferably vote yes. With the great number of abstentions the yes's will be more than no's in Algeria and de Gaulle is still popular enough in France to gain support there, he said. One way or the other, de Gaulle will have to negotiate with the FLN. As the Army does not wish him to negotiate with them, I think this referendum is to con- vince the Army that France is behind him and that they should support him in negotiations, he said. "I think that this year will bring peace in Algeria one way or another, probably with independ- ence for Algeria," Carduner con- Integration May Pomp Georgia Ban on Funds ATHENS, Ga. (4") - A ban on state funds for the University of Georgia seemed probable yesterday after a Negro student, backed by a Federal court order, appeared for admission at the all-white institution. Hamilton E. Holmes, 19, a sophomore at Morehouse College in Atlanta, came to the registrar's office and was given an admission blank. The Univetsity was enjoined Friday by United States District Judge W. A. Bootle from discriminating against eligible Negro applicants. The jurist ordered en-' rollment of Holmes andCharlayne Hunter, 19, of Atlanta, who has XW T -1 Stud Backs Peace Corps WASHINGTON (P)-President- elect John F. Kennedy received a report yesterday backing his pro- posal for a peace corps to assist underdeveloped nations but re- buffing his suggestion that young men serving in it be exempted from the draft. The report was submitted by Max Millikan, director of the Cen- ter for International Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. The report from Millikan on establishment of a peace corps of talented young men and women to assist in the development of newly emerging nations was one of a series Kennedy has been re- ceiving on a variety of subjects. Millikan said that in his re- port, to be made public Tuesday, he suggested such a corps be set up initially on a test basis with the enrollment of a few hundred young men and women. He told newsmen it would be unwise and unnecessary to provide that service in the corps would excempt young men of draft age from military duty. Kennedy, in proposing the peace corps in a San Francisco cam- paign speech, said three years of service in it could be an alter- native to the peacetime draft. Kennedy Picks Wirtz To Fill Labor Position WASHINGTON (P) - President- elect John F. Kennedy yesterday named William Willard Wirtz of Chicago, a law partner of Adlai E. Stevenson, to be Under Secre- tary of Labor. Kennedy also selected a busi- nessman, three union officials and an attorney for other high posts in the labor department,.. They are: James J. Reynolds of Schenec- tady, N. Y., and Jerry R. Holle- man of Austin, Tex., to be assis- tant secretaries. Charles Donahue of Washington to be solicitor. Mrs. Esther Peterson of Wash- ington to be assistant to the sec- retary and director of the Women's Bureau. George Leon-Paul Weaver of Washington to be special assis- tant, pending appointment later as Assistant Secretary for Inter- national Affairs. Announcing the selections, the president-elect's staff said they were made after consultation with Secretary - designate Arthur J. Goldberg. Russia Visit 'Not Planned' WASHINGTON (IP)-Presdent- elect John F. Kennedy said yes- terday it isn't true that he is considering sending a special emissary to sound out Soviet Pre- mier Nikita Khrushchev on how to improve Russian-United States relations. Powers Plan Presentation To Russians Foriula Suggests International Action In Southeast Asia WASHINGTON (t-The West- ern powers plan to propose to Russia early next week a formula for international action to halt the civil war in Laos and the danger of an expanding cold war battle- ground in southeast Asia. Britain will play the leading role in making the approach to the Moscow government. The heart of the formula is to revive an inter- national control commission for Laos on the understanding that it would deal with, though niot. necessarily recognize formally, the present pro-American government of Premier Boun Oum. The United States, in a brief "white paper" on the Laotian crisis, charged yesterday that the Soviet Union has been expanding its airlift to the leftist and pro- Communist rebels fighting the Boun Oum government. But the statement also further opened the door to maneuvers aimed at a. peaceful solution. The document, released by the State Department, said there are three ways the United States can contribute to a solution of the Laotian problem. One way, it said, is "by joining with other free nations to support and maintain the independence of Laos through whatever measures seem most promising." The other two points of current United States policy, the state- ment said, are to tell the world "the true nature of Communist intentions and actions in Laos," and to show that the United States itself does not seek to make. Laos a Western military ally. Moscow radio, however, said last night any international peace commission sent to Laos could negotiate only with the ousted government of Prince Souvannah Phouma. Highly placed diplomatic offici- als said the reality behind this United States position is this: The United States is now def- nitely in favor of reconstituting the three - nation international control commission which was first created by the 1954 Geneva con- ference and disbanded, as no longer necessary, two years ago. Marines Move To"0Caribbean NORFOLK, Va. (-)-Eleven de- stroyers, the amphibious assault carrier Boxer. and a reinforced regiment of Marines leave Nor- folk and Newport, R.I., tomor oW for war games in the Caribbean The Navy said they will parti- cipate in routine naval exercises and _an amphibious assault oan Vieques Island, 20 miles east ofI Puerto Rico. Any connection wth the ten- sion in Cuba where Premier Fidel Castro claims a United States in- vasion is imminent was denied. As the convey ships leave the_ United States tomorrow, the at- tack aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt is scheduled to arrive at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base Cuba. She has amphibious ships' attached. This has "nothing to do with Cuba at all," a spokesman for he Commander, Atlantic fleet, said. He said the deployment was "normal at this time of year" and was a "post-overhaul routine re- fresher training cruise." Soviets Demand Congo Discussion LONDON (M)-The Soviet Union ha demanend a metin o fthe rines Beat Huskies, 5-2 been attending Wayne State Uni- versity in Detroit. Negroes have never attended the 175-year-old university which has 7,400 white students. Attorneys for Holmes and Miss Hunter pur- sued a lengthy legal fight to force their admission. State officials moved quickly to appeal Bootle's decision. They hoped Bootle also would grant a stay in the order pending the appeal. If Bootle declines to grant a stay, a cutoff of funds is auto- ,matic. In Atlanta Gov. Ernest Van- diver said Bootle's sweeping edict placed the university in jeopardy of closing. In his first comment on the court order, the governor. said: "If these plaintiffs enter the university on Monday morning, or at any time thereafter ..,.no further funds shall be used." Newspaperman Seeks Regent Post Paul M. Chandler, former city editor of The Daily and campus correspondent for the Detroit News, announced his intention to w olve By DAVE ANDREWS Carl White fired home Bill Kelly's centering pass snapping a 2-2 deadlock just 25 seconds ,after Michigan Tech had gained it, spuring the Wolverines on to a 5-2 victory over the Huskies before a standing room only crowd at the Coliseum last night. The victory coupled with Friday's 2-1 conquest gave the Wolver- ines a sweep of the series and enabled them to retain undisputed possession of third place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Associa- tion. Before White caged his game winning tally, it was anybody's game. Early Goal Michigan's John Palenstein opened the scoring before the huge crowd had hardly settled into its seats with a 50 foot screened shot from the right point, but Tech surged back to tie the count on Pat Casey's goal. Al Hinnegan gave Michigan the lead at the end of the period, but the lead was short lived as Tech's Al Raymond knotted the score just 4:04 into the second period. Following White's marker, Red Berenson, in the second period, and Larry Babcock, in the third, added insurance goals, but the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The rugged Michigan defense, spearheaded by the outstanding play of John Palenstein and the clutch goal tending of sophomore Dave Butts, held the swift Huskies pretty much at bay.
