SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1904 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Reach Cease Fire In Eastern Africa Ethiopia, Somalia Seek Settlement After Truce Arranged by Abboud ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (R) - A truce is to halt border warfare between Ethiopia and Somalia at noon today under an agreement announced yesterday. A telegraphic exchange between President Ibrahim Abboud of Sudan and Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia provided for the cease- fire in 8-day-old hostilities that have aroused international concern. Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, meeting in emer- gency session at Dar Es Salaam, Tanganyika, had called for both sides to end the shooting.

All four of the deadlocked Ap- portionment Commission's Repub- licans were agreed on their plan, which is based solely on the new Michigan Constitution. The Democratic "one man, one vote" scheme calls the 1963 State Constitution self - contradictory and relies partly on the principle of "equal protection of the laws." Court To Rule Submission of the two proposals set the stage for the high court to rule on reapportionment-required by the new constitution - soon after March 2, the date for final oral argument. The Democratic plan raises the mathematical possibility Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Genesee Counties could elect majorities to both the House and Senate. The four neighboring southeast- ern Michigan counties have more than 4 million of the 7.8 million Michigan residents counted in the 1960 census. They are the four most populous of the 83 counties. Gives 60 Seats Acting as middleman, Abboud notified Selassie that Premier Ab- dirashid Ali Shermarke's Somali government accepted the truce and agreed also to end its propa- ganda attacks on Ethiopia. The agreement came as Ethio- pian demonstrators, urged on by government propagandists, marched through towns and vil- lages throughout the empire de- manding war. Both sides had hailed a peace plea last weekend by United Na- tions Secretary-General U Thant. Somalia had announced Tuesday it was ordering its own troops to quit shooting. But the fighting continued. Claims Region Somalia claims the arid Oga- den Plateau region of eastern Ethiopia on the ground that most of its inhabitants - largely no- madic herders of camels, sheep and goats-are Somalis. The Somalis are Moslems: the Ethiopians are divided between the Islamic and Christian re- ligions. fir Soviet Party Meets, Alters Farm Plan MOSCOW (P)-The Soviet Com- munist Party's Central Committee ended a marathon plenary meet- ing yesterday by officially calling a halt to Premier Nikita S. .hru- shchev's 10-year effort to increase farm production by expanding farmlands. A resolution, adopted at the windup session of the six-day meeting, said the time had come to switch to modern intensive farming methods. Paying tribute to Khrushchev's direction df farm policy, the reso- lution said that "in the last 10 years, much has been done for the advance of Soviet agriculture."h 'Important Contribution' It called the Soviet leader's scheme for plowing up millions of acres of arid virgin lands of Ka- zakhstan "an exceptionally im- portant contribution to the, pro- gress of all branches of agricul- ture." The document, published in the Soviet government newspaper Iz- vestia, called on agricultural work- ers to double and treble farm out- put in the next few years. The Central Committee, the party's top governing body, issued a 19-point list of recommenda- tions for improving lagging agri- cultural methods. Expose Shortcomings Most of the points simply or- dered local officials to correct shortcomings exposed at the plen- um by various speakers. The resolution also ordered a "get tough" drive to force agri- cultural specialists out of the cities and into farm areas. It directed educational authori- ties to take steps to transfer all farm specialists schools and re- search facilities to state farms where students and professors would be forced to engage in practical work. But, after Khrushchev's windup speech Friday, Central Committee members met only in executive session with invited party workers and propaganda experts. The meeting was believed here to have reviewed recent develop- ments in the ideological war with the Communist Chinese. HOUSING ALSO: Congress Starts Work On College Student Aid WASHINGTON -P-Congress begins work next week on two more of President Lyndon B. Johnson's key 1964 legislative proposals-an omnibus housing bill and a college student aid measure. So far this year the legislators have devoted most of their time to the two top-priority items on the admiinstration's list-civil rights and a tax cut. Some action is expected on these two in the week ahead. But both.

This bill, sponsored by Sen. Vance -artke (D-Ind) was offered by administration lieutenants in, the tax bill debate as an alterna- tive to an amendement of Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff (D-Conn) providing a tax saving on college costs. Ribicoff's proposal was beat- en by only 48-45.

Robert C. Weaver, the housing administrator, will open the case for Johnson'srbig housing bill to- morrow before a House subcom- mittee. The counterpart Senate group will begin its hearings Wed- nesday. The President, in submitting his housing message Jan. 27, laid stress on a new program of aid for satellite - suburban communities and assistance for low-income families. The bill also would continue and expand present programs includ- ing public housing and urban re- newal. The measure already has drawn fire from some legislators as too broad and too expensive. There is also a possibility a farm bill containing cotton and wheat programs may be brought up before civil rights. The Senate agriculture committee meets in closed session Tuesday to try to reach agreement on this measure. Civil Right's Group Splits NEW YORK (M)-The committee which sponsored the biggest civil, rights demonstation in United States history has fallen apart, divided about whether a second New York school boycott would serve any useful purpose. A union of civil rights organiza- tions created the Citywide Com- mittee for Integrated Schools with the Rev. Milton A. Galamison as its head and Bayard Rustin itsI strategist.I This weex, however, one organi- zation withdrew from the com- mittee, another said it was con- tinuing on an "ex-officio" basis and a third announced it was con- sidering withdrawal. The committee's Feb. 3 school boycott to protest the segregation which results from living patterns emptied classrooms all over the city. Absentees totaled over 464,000 of the one million pupils enrolled in the nation's largest public school system. Normal daily ab- sentees total about 100,000. The participation far exceeded the more than 200,000 persons in the civil rights march on Wash- ington last summer, which also was planned by Rustin. .But the board of education said it intended to stick to its own plan for eliminating de facto segrega- tion by starting, on a limited scale next fall, to bus pupils from one neighborhood to another. Civil rights leaders had de-. nounced this as too little and too late. -Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff (D- Conn) predicted that Johnson will pick for his, running mate Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver, or Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D- Minn). Johnson started the rough talk by declaring to a White House gathering that this nation is re- spected and appreciated around ;he world, "regardless of what some of the bellyachers say." GOP chairman William E. Mil- ler was quick to react: "We're bellyaching so much be- cause we've got our bellies too full. And Goldwater declared: "The bellyachers are people like you and me who are getting sick and tired of the United States be- ing kicked around by every two- bit dictator in the world." Crucial Primary Goldwater spoke optimistically in California where there is to be a crucial Republican preference primary June 2. "I intend to win big in Califor- nia, win big in both the primary' and in the general election in No- vember," he said. Rockefeller, who earlier had re- ported himself pleased with the situation in California, spoke this week of his prospects.in the May 15 Oregon primary. Real Optimism "I know it's an uphill fight but I have a feeling of real optimism," he said. Scranton and Romney, who say they Would run for President only if drafted, met in Detroit. When each failed to talk the other into a more direct bid, the Pennsyl- vania and Michigan chiefs dis- cussed other candidates. They agreed that Goldwater has been slipping in their states in re- cent weeks, but Scranton said Goldwater still is ahead nationally at the moment. moaations section comad be modu-- fled to the point where it can be enforced, or dropped altogether." The bill is now up to the Senate and politicians agree that what happens there could sharply in- fluence campaign trends, especi- ally as they affect Johnson.

While far-ranging, Mrs. Smith's travels were exceptionally quiet for a presidential candidate-no advance arrangements, no big build-ups, just she and her two aides driving from town to town.
