(4T-Sen. Robert F. Kennedy racked up an impressive victory in the Indiana presidential pri- mary yesterday, but failed to dislodge Sen. Eugene J. Mc- Carthy as a contender for the nomination. Kennedy, testing his popularity at the polls for the first time since he jumped into the race after McCarthy's strong showing in the New Hampshire primary, collected about 42 per cent of the vote in a three-man race. McCarthy gathered'about 28 per cent of the vote, run- ning close to Gov. Roger D. Branigin, a favorite son who is uncommitted but looks favorably on the presidential can- didacy of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Running alone in the Republican primary, former Vice President Richard M. Nixon piled up 396,773 votes with 74 per cent of the vote counted.r "We are anticipating we will have to compete with other types of housing a year from this fall," University Housing Director 'ohn C.

Kennedy in that year. The bemocratic totals, also with 74 per cent counted, showed Ken- nedy with 253,689 (42 per cent of the total vote); McCarthy with 165,465 (28 per cent); and Brani- gin with 179.653 (30 per cent). The McCarthy-Branigin totals left Kennedy as a minority choice of those who cast Democratic bal- lots - including an undetermined number of Republicans who might have crossed. Evidence of such crossovers was conflicting. Allen County (Fort Wayne), the largest Republican area in the state, gave Nixon a solid vote. Kennedy, not likely to have attracted many GOP votes, rad second in the totals, McCar- thy third and Brnigin fourth. Branigin's supporters had urged Republicans to, vote for him. Branigin took the lead among the Democrats in strongly Repub- lican Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis. McC'arthy topped Nixon and his Democratic oppon- ents in the incomplete count in 'Montgomery County, home . of Wabash College. As expected, Kennedy showed strength in Indianapolis and Lake County, east of Chicago, where substantial portions of the voters are Negroes and blue-collar workers. Kennedy led in eight of the 11 state congressional districts and Branigin in the other three. This, was important since it is possible that some of the 63 Democratic conventidn votes could be appor- See INDIANA, Page 6 , =Daily-Jay L.

For the past week, the union worked withoutE contract. Carl Weber, president of local 512, - said the union has main- tained no contact with the build- ers association and no meetings between the two are scheduled. The union expects to sign in- dependent builders willing to meet their wage demands. By taking this action, the car- penters have joinedthree other local -unions that began to strike last week. A spokesman for GCA-HBA said that of three unions, only ne- gotiations between the laborers and the association are "open to; call by either member". Any meet- ing with the bricklayers union or the carpenters union and the as- sociation "are not scheduled."

"Our main concern," he said, "is whether the decision is edu-. cationally sound." Feldkamp cited the HatcherI Commission report released thisI year and the ,Reed Report of 1962, as ample evidence that the pro- posed changes are advisable. .The commission suggested the University move as quiclgly as possible toward voluntary resi- dence ,fn its housing units. The~ Reed report madesimilar recom- mendations. The Regents have recently been considering individual areas of the commission's report. They ap-I proved several sections of the re- port at their April meeting, and announced at , that time they would review the report in its entirety at future sessions. University President Robben W. Fleming is reportedly supporting the policy change. "I would, like' to move away from the'compul- sory requirement" that students live in residence halls, Fleming said several months ago. If the Re-ents aproved the See DORMS, Page 2 By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN Over 300 people last night met with leaders of Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Viet- nam (CALCAV) in the First Methodist Church here to final- ize plans for protest activity in Midland today against Dow Chemical Co.'s production of napalm for use in the Vietnam War., Rev. Richard Fernandez, CALCAV executive secretary, expects about at least.300 pro- testers from Ann Arbor, in ad- dition to another 100 each from Lansing and Detroit. Planned activity at Midland includes picketing, a meeting between CALCAV and Dow rep- presentatives, door-to-door can- vassing, and an attempt to get the annual stockholders meet- ing to take action on the na- palm question. Fernandez said 27 to 50 CAL- CAV representatives will be pro- vided with proxies which entitle them to enter the 2 p.m. stock- ,holders meeting and speak there. Dow is vulnerable to the kind of protests planned for today, Fernandez said, unlike the U.S. government, which is impossi- ble to approach, Dow officials can be dealt with on .a personal basis. Several members of the com- pany's board of directors are in facpt opposed to the produc- tion of naplam, Fernandez said. In addition, "Dow does not, did not and will not like bad publicity." Earlier yesterday, Fernandez telegrammed Gov:'George Rom- ney and Atty. Gen. Frank Kel- ley to request increased police protection for the demonstra- tors in anticipation of trouble from Breakthrough, a right- wing, Detroit group which is ex- pected in Midland today. As presently planned, the demonstrations will be peaceful and will not involve the use of civil disobedience tactics, Fer- nandez said. During the speeches, however, over 30 people in the audience walked out and moved down- stairs to discuss the possibility of civil disobedinece at -the dem- onstration today. They left after Fernandez told the audience he was asking for no disruption because most people were coming under the understanding that there would be none. Fernandez described the cli- mate in Midland as "about what it was in Memphis after Martin Luther King was kill- ed," and urged protesters to be especially careful. Midland is tense, said Fer- 'nandez, because "you are say- ing there's something rotten about their company," and be- cause Midland is dominated by Dow. Rev. William Sloan Coffin, Yale University chaplain, was originally scheduled to give the keynote address but was unable to attend last night's meeting for reasons related to his fed- eral indictment for draft re- sistance, Fernandez announced. Speaking in his place, Rev. James Laird of the American Friends Service Committee told the audience the Vietnam War is making mankind -"callous, brutalized and insensitive." If Dow offiicals could "see for themselves the melted flesh, and distorted faces." Laird de- clared, "then, perhaps, they would stop napalm production." The justification Dow offi- cials have given for napalm production is that "the-state s asked for it," Laird said. Thus, - "the nation is the real God of - today; the only heresy today is j political." - i "The worst thing you can about a man," Laird noted "if e you really want to be nasty, you y say he's un-American. - "Who is responsible in our s society?" asked Laird. "We could say its all the govern- ment's fault." But "we cannot take the easy way out," he said g noting that in World War II Germany "always the decision was made somewhere else-- higher up." PVietnam is "a war of geno- cide," Laird said. Military au- thorities. he said, accept this as _ i. 1_ ... 1.. _. 1- , . ..... tion, and random shelling of the countryside, he said. Speaking earlier, Mrs. Bar- bara Fuller told the audience the use of napalm was being' protested on three grounds: that it causes "unbearable suf- fering and grotesque scars," that its continued use invitesI worse weapons, and that its use is in violation of the Hague Convention because it is "cal- culated to cause unnecessary# suffering.' for RF, unit rule By The Associated Press Sen. Robert F. Kennedy ap- peared last night to have won his >first. vote-getting test against Vice President Hubert H. Humph- rey in a District of Columbia pri- . mary'election where voters picked national convention delegates. Kennedy also appeared on his way to a bonus-control of the District's Democratic organization. Although it was not a presiden- tial preference vote, all 21 mem- bers of a slate supporting the New Yorker increased their leads over Humphrey backers as hundreds of college student volunteers counted tIfe lengthy paper ballots. In Alabama, where the primary Iwas for Democrats only, former Gov. George Wallace, running outside his home state as a third party presidential candidate, looked like the winner of about everything in sight. Candidates pledged to Wallace in the regular Depiocratic Nation- al Convention pulled out ahead quickly in contests with an un- pledged slate seeking the 32 nom- inating votes. The real contest in Alabama was for the nomination to succeed retiring Sen. Lister kill The field of six included Rep. Armistead Selden, former Lt. Gov. James 1. Allen arnd former Gov. James E. Folsom. Allen piled up an early lead with Selden second. 'National convention delegates were being elected in Ohio, but the meaning of the selections was highly uncertain.

Frank J. Lausche who was bidding for a third term in yesterday's Ohio Democratic primary. The Cincinnati councilman over- came Lausche's early lead in rural counties and then spread his lead in most metropolitan areas. Returns from 4,972 polling places out of 12,886 gave Gilligan 175,396 votes to 155,520 for Lausche. "Can't say I'm greatly encour- aged at the present time looks like it'll be a close race," a Lausche campaign spokesman ob- served in Cleveland. In Florida, Republican Rep.
