J.W. Fulbright (D-Ark), outspoken Vietnam war critic, clung to a small but steady lead in his bid for renomination in Arkansas' primaries yesterday. Fulbright's war position became the major target of his three op- ponents as the senator waged his most extensive campaign since first being elected to the Senate in 1944.E However, the senator held a majority of the early vote al-, though he was falling short of the! 65 per cent he had predicted he! would receive.

From Wire Service Reports Several senators viewed yesterday the Ann Arbor Police Department's copy of the film "Flaming Creatures," which has become involved in the fight over President Johnson's nomination of Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas to be Chief Justice. The showing of the film, which has been ruled obscene by the Ann Arbor Circuit Court, was arranged by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The film came into police hands when it was confiscated during a Cinema Guild presentation nearly two years ago.

The Russians were reported in- sisting that all members of both top-level Communist delegations be able to air their views. That t would mean 13 Russians and 16! Czechoslovaks would speak. Apparently this demand was based on the hope to encourage potentially conservative elements in the 11-man Czechoslovak pre- sidium to sound off against the liberalization course. 4.

Officials of Peoria, Ill., declared a 9 p.m. curfew last night for persons under 21 as a result of violence early yesterday that brought gunshot wounds to 10 po- licemen and a radio newsman. Police had moved into a Negro neighborhood to stop youths from Fund deficit tops estimate Secretary of the Treasury Hen- ry H. Fowler and Charles J. Zwick, director of the Bureau of the Budget said in a statement yesterday that the budget deficit in the fiscal year which closed June 30 was $25.4 billion.- This figure is $5.6 billion above the administration's estimate and $3.1 billion above the revised de- ficit estimate of March 31. Fowler and Zwick said Congres- sional delays in enacting the 10 per cent income tax surcharge were partly responsible. Receipts fell $2.3 billion short of what had been estimated in ,anuary while spending was $3.3 hurling rocks and bricks at pass- ing cars. Firebombs were thrown at buildings and -automobiles during the disorder. - Sporadic outbreaks of violence also were reported in Seattle, Muncie and Gary, Ind., Kalama- zoo, Mich., and Oakland, Calif. In Peoria, peace was restored, to the area after about three hours. Twelve persons were arrested on charges ranging from disorder-' ly conduct to carrying concealed' weapons. ** A sniper in Seattle fired through the roof of a police car, wounding two officers Monday night during an outburst of shoot- ing, firebombing and rock-throw- ing in the city's predominantly Negro central area. Three other officers and three civilians were wounded by gunfire. The violence followed the arrest of two members of the militant Black, Panther party on suspicion of larceny. in Muncie, gasoline bombs were thrown at five businesses on the city's mostly Negro East Side Monday night. There were 64 arrests in Gary, where police silenced snipers with return gunfire. No one was re- ported injured Monday in the third straight night of violence there. NEW ASSOCIATE DEAN Sussman style: Baizac and botany By JILL CRABTREE Prof. Alfred S. Sussman, chairman of the botany department, officially took over as associate dean of the literary college on July 1. He has not yet made the move from his cluttered laboratory in the Natural Science Building to 1020 An- gell Hall, where the associate dean duly presides. In spirit, he doesn't really plan to move at all. Sussman intends to continue both teaching and research while assbclate dean. In addition, he has accom- nWshed the unprecedented task of operations of the college." He feels that continued close contact with students and colleagues as professor and researcher could only help him in this job. Sussman's idea of making science education in LSA "more effective" is to "exploit as many resources of the University as possible for the benefit of the undergraduate."; Within the college, he wants to develop interdisciplinary courses and concentration programs, not only be- tween science departments but be- tween science and humanities de- partments as well. aging the artistic efforts of his three young children. Their paintings and diawings cover his walls, side-by- side with mutant mold cultures. But limited opportunity for self- expression does not prevent him from having strong ideas about the need for a scientist to have contact witl the humanities. "The questions involved in profes- sional ethics, for instance, are cru- cial ones for the scieptist," he says. "How does one decide if it is moral to do research for the Armsy?
