Bias Provisions By RAYMOND HOLTON An amendment which would strengthen Ann Arbor's fair hous- ing ordinance has been proposed by a University official, Councilman Wendell E. Hulcher announced at last night's City Council meeting. Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis sent a letter to Hulcher dated Jan. 20 in which he stated that Chapter 112, sec- tion 9.156 in the ordinance "for all practical purposes . . . exempts all rooming units from coverage by the ordinance."

Johnson proposed to Con- gress yesterday what he called "a vigorous and many-sided attack on our most serious health problems." And he set a goal of enabling each American to enjoy the benefits of modern medical knowledge. .Johnson led off by renewing the Kennedy Administration's pro- posal for medical insurance for the elderly under the Social Security program. He said "old age can be a dark corridor of fear" for older PROF. STANLEY A. CAIN Cain, To Stay With Office Prof. Stanley A. Cain of the botany department and the nat- ural resources school yesterday re- ported to Gov. George Romney that he had reconsidered his ear- lier resignation from his post as chairman of the Michigan Con- servation Commission. In reply, a governor's aide con- veyed Romney's "pleasure that Prof. Cain had decided to stay on." Prof. Cain had planned to leave the commission without serving out his sixth year, to spend his upcoming sabbatical leave from the University as chairman of a National Academy of Science com- mittee formulating plans for an International Biological Program. Prof. Cain explaine.3 that the major factor in changing his mind was the present process of reor- ganizing the conservation depart- ment. "The department is about half reorganized right now. Under the circumstances, I felt a responsibil- ity for participating in the re- novating and for seeing it through to the end," he said. Prof. Cain therefore informed Romney that he would remain as a member of the commission and come to most of its meetings, even assuming the cost of transporta- tion to and from Washington him- self if necessary. OAS To Start Investigation Of Canal Crisis WASHINGTON (P) - The Or- ganization of American States is sending a five-nation committee to Panama today to try to find a so- lution to the Panama Canal con- troversy. Officially the committee is to' in- vestigate Panama's charge that the United States committed aggres- sion during last month's Canal Zone rioting, but Latin American diplomats said the group will not overlook any possibility of getting the United States and Panama to- gether at the conference table. -citizens who are "still defenseless against the heavy medical costs of severe illness or disability." Administration spokesmen pre- dicted approval by Congress this year, based on recent off-the- record talks they had with key members. Commission The President announced also he is creating a commission on heart disease, cancer and strokes to consist of persons prominent in medicine and public affairs. John- son said, "I expect it to complete its study by the end of this year and submit recommendations for action." Its task will be to recommend steps to reduce the incidence of these maladies through new knowledge and "more complete utilization (f the medical knowl- edge we already have." Other specific major recom- mendations included legislation for: 1) Extension for another five years, and considerable expansion of, the Hill-Burton program for providing federal aid for hospital construction. 2) Construction of new nursing schools and expansion of others, and a federal scholarship program for nurses-all designed to in- crease the total of nurses from the present 550,000 to 680,000 by 1970. Not Satisfied At the outset of his message, the President said, "The American pe)l1e are not satisfied with bet- ter-than-average health. As a na- tio, they want, they need, and thoy can afford the best of health -not just for those of comfortable means, but for all our citizens, old and young, rich and poor." "In America, there is no need and no room for second-class health services. "There is no need and no room fir denying to any of our people the wonders of modern medicine." Denies Interest In Campaign For Governor Former Gov. John B. Swainson yesterday squelched speculation that he will reverse himself and run in the Democratic primary for his old job. He said there is "no chance" he will reconsider his Dec. 28 decision to stay out of any race at least un- til 1966. Democratic party sources said they had been confused by reports of a Swainson press conference Friday at Traverse City which in- dicated he might change his mind if his new legs were comfortable. But Swainson said flatly today: "No, I made my announcement Dec. 28. I don't anticipate any- thing that will change my mind. There's no chance that I will run. "The report I might change my mind was a misunderstanding of my answer to an iffy question." Swainson expressed an interest in being President Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign manager for Michigan, but such an invitation has not yet been issued from the Democratic National Committee. Democratic leaders in Michigan say that Swainson's appointment to run the Johnson campaign had been discussed by the national TAIPEI, Formosa (P)-Nation- alist China broke off diplomatic relations with France yesterday in retaliation for President Charles he Gaulle's recognition of Red China. "This action by the French gov- ernment has damaged beyond re- pair the existing relations be- tween the Republic of China and France," the foreign ministry said in announcing the rupture of re- lations. The foreign ministry statement, issued after a three-hour emer- gency cabinet meeting, said "the government of the, Republic of China finds such action no longer tolerable and has therefore decid- ed to sever diplomatic relations with the French government as of Feb. 10." It said the cabinet acted after being notified Monday that Paris and Peking were exchanging charge d'affaires in line with France's announcement Jan. 27 that it was recognizing Red China. The Taipei government said it had recalled its embassy staff from Paris, disrupting de Gaulle's in- tention to maintain relations with Peking and Taipei under a "two Chinas" policy that the Commu- nists and nationalists both op- pose. Each claims to be only true government of China. De Gaulle said at a news confer- ence Jan. 31 that France is rec- ognizing the Peking regime be- cause "it sees the world as it is." At the same time he said France had no intention of severing re- lations with the Taipei govern- ment on the Nationalist strong- hold of Formosa.a The Nationalist action extricat- ed de Gaulle from an embarras- sing diplomatic spot since Peking had demanded that France break with Taipei when it establishes relations with Red China.

Baghdad Radio said Mustafa Barzani, leader of the Kurdish uprising, has ordered a cease-fire and told his fighters to return to their homes. In return, according to the ra- dio, Iraqi President Abdul Salam Aref has "endorsed national rights" for the Kurds. The radio said the agreement had been reached after one week's negotiations between rebel lead- ers and a government reconcilia- tion committee. Aref has agreed, according to the announcement, that "Kurdish rights" will be safeguarded in the Iraqi Republic's constitution. The government further has agreed to release all captive rebels, return seized Kurdish assets to their own- ers and begin in the near future "reconstruction of the North." A settlement now-if genuine- would remove one great unsettling factor for Iraq's present regime and permit it to get on with its manifold other problems. The government radio made it appear that settlement was defi- nite. Barzani himself, however, did not appear on the air, although the statement calling for the cease fire was attributed to him. The radio did not define the exact terms of the supposed set- tlement. Presumably it allowed for some form of Kurdish self- rule within the framework of the Iraqi Republic. No mention was made of oil revenues or specifical- ly of the all Kurdish security force in the Kurdish area. The govern- ment pledged, however, to return local administrations to the Kurds and "to take necessary measures to guarantee peace and stability." CHARLES DE GAULLE licans voting against it. Rep. George Meader (R-Mich) of Ann Arbor, a leader in the fight to modify the bill, voted ''no." Ann Arbor resident Rep. Neil Staebler (D-Mich) voted "yes." Johnson issued a statement praising the months of hard work "by men of good will in both par- ties" in bringing about "over- whelming passage" of the bill. Taking cognizance of the uphill fight that the bill will have in the Senate, Johnson said "I hope the same spirit of non-partisan- ship will prevail there to assure passage of this bill guaranteeing the fundamental rights of all Americans. The House action, "coupled with the passage of the tax bill by the Senate during the past week is tes- timony to how the Congress can act effectively to meet the issues facing our country," Johnson said. Coalition Successful A coalition put together by the House Democratic and Republican leaders drove the bill past un- yielding but outmanned Southern- ers, chopping off debate to speed the final vote. Although the final roll call came just before 8 p.m., the battle to get a strong bill through the House was won in the early after- noon when the House completed action on the section aimed at ending job discrimination against Negroes, the last major section in the bill. Accept Amendment Just before the final vote the bill's supporters accepted an amendment by Rep. Robert T. Ashmore (D-SC) adding a new section that would create a com- munity relations service to -seek voluntary compliance in racial dis- pute. Besides making it unlawful for employers or labor unions to dis- criminate against Negroes, the bill would protect Negro voting rights, compel desegregation of public schools, parks and playgrounds, outlaw discrimination in hotels, restaurants, movies and other places serving the public, and per- mit the withholding of federal funds from programs in which there is discrimination. The bill is far stronger than the one originally requested by President John F. Kennedy. It was put together by a coalition of Democrats and Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, work- ing closely with the administra- tion. Reps. Emanuel Celler Success Paves Way i For Senate Debate Johnson Praises 'Men of Good Will' For Work in Supporting Measure WASHINGTON (R)-The House passed a civil rights bill yesterday which President Lyndon B. Johnson said "marks an historic step forward for the cause of human diginity in America." The measure, which now faces a long stormy trip through the Senate before it can become law, would grant the federal government unprecedented new powers to combat racial dis- crimination. The bill passed the House by a 290 to 130 roll call vote with 152 Democrats and 138 Republicans voting for it, and 96 Democrats and 34 Repub-<"> IBomb Scare Halts, Class NOTASULGA, Ala. (J)-A bomb threat temporarily closed an inte- g-rated school at nearby Shorter yesterday while a total white boy- cott at Notasulga cleared the way for Negroes to enter the high school here. Mayor James Rea at Notasulga said the six Negro students assign- ed to Notasulga by a federal judge could "come on as far as we are concerned." But the Negroes, who were turn- ed away by the mayor last Wednesday under a newly en- acted fire prevention ord nance, made no further attempt to get in. There was no explanation for their absence, but they may be waiting for a court order to pro- hibit further use of the new ordi- nance to preserve the segregation barriers. A hearing is schAdufed for Thursday in United States court. In Cleveland, the Cleveland Board of Education lase yesterday approved a resolution calling for immediate integration of Negro pupils transported by bus to three East side schools wita predom- inantly white enrollments. The resolution, aimed at ending the .dispute which brought this city its worst racial flareup in recent years, was worked out last week at a meeting of representa- tives of all sides in the dispute called by Mayor Ralph S. Locher. It also calls for termination of the transportation of pupils as soon as possible. Mainly involved are some 800 Negro pupils from the overcrowded Hazeldell Elementary School who have been kept together in class- room units at the receiving schools, a'policy that was inaugu- rated when- the transportation program started two years ago. "shall not apply to a house con- taining rooming units inwhich the owner or the lessee of the en- tire house resides." Recommendations Lewis recommended coverage of all rooming units in houses where the owner does not reside and all rooming houses containing fiveor more rooming units in which the owner does reside. Hulcher moved that Lewis' rec- ommendation, dealt with as an amendment, be referred to the Human Relations Commission. Councilwoman Eunice L. Burns attached an amendment to the motion asking the. HRC to con- sider drawing up a definition of "rooming house" and decide whether five rooming units "is the best number to use in the amend- ment." Lone Dissenter The motion and amendment were passed with Councilman Paul H. Johnson casting the only dis- senting vote. Johnson said that council should know whether or not Lewis' rec- ommendations represent Univer- sity policy on the housing ordin- ance. University P r e s i d e n t Harlan Hatcher said last night that Lewis, who is currently in Washington and not available for comment, was acting in his capacity as vice- president for student affair. President Hatcher added that no meetines were held on the mat- ter and that Lewis does not have the authority to set University policy. Handle Concurrently Johnson also argued that the amendment should be handled concurrently by the council's hous- ing committee as well as the HRC. "In the past the HRC has made statements on an issue prior to a council vote. This has caused em- barassment when the HRC and council did not agree on the is- sue," Johnson warned. No support was given to John- son's motion that the amendment be handled concurrently. Trust Councilman John Teachout said that council "must start trusting the HRC" and let it handle all civil rights matters. Mrs. Norma F. Kraker, of tine Office of Student Affairs and ,p- erintendent of off-campus :"ousing, said lat night that Lewis' amend- ment does not do anything irore for the ordinance. Mrs. Kraker said that the l,,w covers what Lewis recommended anyway. "I have found through my own research that more than 50 per cent of the campus area room- ing houses are covered by the orc'ir anrce," she said. fir: \;t .p. 4. .;., Y: .:.r pT i... ,},} ..... y " 3: ...... {. 4 . y ,+ . .. .

'U', SU Set Labor Study 'OnNegroes, The University and Wayne State University announced yesterday that they will spend two years and $71,000 to determine how man- agement and labor are adjusting to new breakthroughs in Negro employment. The study will be conducted by the jointly-run Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations under a special appropriation by the United States Department of Labor. Ronald W. Haughton of Wayne State, the co-director of the in- stitute, said he expects the study to provide "realistic guidance" for companies planning tc integrate their workforce. The study team, which will be headed by Louis A. Ferman, re- search associate at the Institute of Labor and industrial Relations at the University, wants to know what companies, unions and em- ployers are doing to overcome problems that .may arise when new job opportunities are opened to Negroes. Ferman said the study team has decided to take a detaned study of the integration experience in 20 firms throughout the country, rather than "conduct a broad statistical" study of hundreds of companies.
