The decision to start the draft coincided with reports of fresh clashes in Malaysian Borneo. Two Indonesian guerrillas and a Ma- 'laysian trooper were killed and two Indonesians were captured. The incidents were part of a series of skirmishes that have vir- tually .spelled the end of the Jan. 26 cease-fire. Malaysian Prime Minister Tun- ku Abdul Rahman presently has an army of 15,000; .,Indonesian President Sukarno has about 350,- 000 Men under arms. Deputy Prime Minister and De- fense Minister Tun Abdul Razak announced the conscription order after a 90-minute cabinet meeting. Razak said that a special com- mittee has been appointed to put the order into immediate effect throughout Malaysia, including Singapore and the Borneq states of Sarawak and Sabah. The call-up was expected to' start within a few days in Ma- laya, the core of Malaysia, where eligible males already have been registered for possible military du- ty. Registration in Singapore, Sa- bah and Sarawak is expected to take two weeks. Whilethe conflict with Indo- nesia threatened to expand, there were signs Malaysia was moving toward a rapproachement with the Philippines. iForeign ministry officials con- firmed that a note has beencre- ceived from Manila agreeing to establish consular relations. The Philippines, like Indonesia, 'opposed Malaysia on its formation last September because of a Ma- nila government claim to North Borneo, now Malaysia's Sabah state. But the Filipinos have not shared Indonesia's view that Ma- laysia is a "neo-,colonialist" threat which must be crushed. Turk Calls For Swvift, UN Action By The Associated Press NICOSIA, Cyprus-The Turkish Cypriot vice-president of Cyprus urged the United Nations yester- day to take swift action to save the Turkish minority "from com- plete annihilation" on Cyprus.

Other clashes broke out like brush fires across Cyprus, set off by sparks from1 the three-day battle in the West coast town of Ktima, near Mallia. There was sporadic shooting in Ktima, where Greek and Turkish Cypriot officials met in ;negotia- tions designed to firm up the shaky cease-fire that ended the fighting Monday. Meanwhiledunits of a Turkish naval task force steamed out of Iskenderun, Turkey. The number and destination of the warships, assembled here since fighting broke out between Turk- ish and Greek Cypriots last De- cember, was not disclosed. World ,News.

Automation 'Obsoletes' Ma (Third in a five-part series on (automation) By JULES LOH Associated Press Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK -- The critical dis- tinction between today's automa- tion and every other technological advancei'n history is not just the development of "thinking' ma- chines, such as computers, but the blend of thinking machines with doing machines.. A machine called the Trans- feRobot for example, can be pro- grammed to do any number of mechanical jobs with its swinging arm and hand, and do them the same way each time to within two-thousandths of an inch, far superior to any human. Moreover, the arm is tireless, takes no coffee breaks, doesn't require a pension or a paid vacation. In one auto firm the machine starts with raw sheet metal and ends with finished fenders. It used to take 20 men to do the Job. Rapid Growth Installation of this type of auto- mation in factories is growing at the rate of 90 per cent a year, ac- cording to the commerce depart- ment, though only about 3800 such machines are in operation now. As for computers, there are more on order today than were manufac- tured in the decade of the fifties. John I. Snyder Jr , president of, the company that makes the TransfeRobot, says this and s.ni+ lar tools "are obsoleting riot only our conventional machires, but modern men as well. The indus- trial revolution created jobs: now we're using sophisticated machines to destroy jobs.'." Snyder contends the old pre- cept ,that machin-s make jobs (be- cause it takes people to make and repair the machin.es) 'is a myth where avtomatio-i is ccncerned. No Jos "The hard fact we must face is produce' jobs for those workees they displace," Sn.cer says. More- over, ' automation is not cnly dis- placing people directly, but. also indirectly trrough vbat we call silfnt firings-worAers who would eventually have beer, hired for tasks that are now automated." For example, if it weren't for automation America's phone com- panies would need the services of nearly all the working women in the country to handle their in- creased load. By Snyder's reckoning "automa- tion has become a major factor causing the loss of jobs at the rate. of 40,000 a week." He arrives at the estimate by multiplying the nation's over-all employment fig- ure by the rate of increase of out- put per manhour in any given year.For 1962,the latest for which solid figures are available, it works out to 51,000 jobs a week which Snyder reduces to 40,000 to allow a margin of-error. Doubling Figure A F L - C I O President George Meany expects the figure to double by the end of this year. "I'm in- clined to agree that the rate of loss will accelerate," Snyder warns, "unless something is done to stop it." Snyder is co-chairman and co- founder with Machinists Union' r- i. , M Illia r " Ir'' ' Ilj'. t i" - T v T 7 r 'Y -f v T I ,v VVIr CAMPUS OPTICIANS Located at 240 Nickels Arcade DOCTORS' PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED Prescription sunglasses CATERING TO CAMPUS STYLES President Al J.

SUCCEEDS BENTANCOURT: To InaugurateLeom President I- LIVE NEAR NORTH CAMPUS . SWIM, GOLF, C JUST STUDY . . . IN ANN ARBOR'S FINEST APARTMENT DWELLING. CALL 663-0800, CARACAS W)-A labor lawyer who has warned he will be as tough as. the outgoing Romulo Betancourt on Castro-Commun- ists, Raul Leoni is being inaugu- rated today as president of Vene- zuela. "I shall never vacillate in com- bating violence with whatever en- ergy is necessary," Leoni declared when he won the Dec. 1 election. The inauguration will mark the first time a democratically elected president has finished 'a term' in Venezuela and turned over/the of- fice to another so elected. Sabotage The national guard and special police guarded Caracas govern- ment buildings and highways to block any attempt at sabotage by the pro-Communist terrorists who call themselves the Armed Forces of National Liberation.' Leoni, 59, belongs to the Demo- cratic Action Party of the retiring president, who is 56, and the two men are close friends, so few changes are expected. TheDemocratic Action Party, originally was pro-Marxist, but long since has made peace with capitalists of this oil-rich nation and turned anti-Communist. ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA Last day for new' members to sign up. WOM ENS LEAGUE (LOBBY) 11 A.M.-2 P.M. Leoni says he will push the charge of aggression by Cuba that Betancourt filed in the Organiza- tion of American States. Venezuela accuses Prime Minister Fidel Cas- tro of sponsoring five years of violence here in an effort to es- tablish a Communist beachhead on the South American continent. Leoni said he would be willing to lift Betancourt's legal ban on the Venezuelan Communist Party and its Castroite sister, the Move- ment of the Revolutionary Left, if they renounced violence and proved it by keeping the peace for' "a prudent period of time." But he has little hope of such a renunciation. Dictators Like Betancourt, Leoni is also against right-wing dictators in Latin America. He has announced he will follow Betancourt's policy of refusing to reorganize any gov- ernment established by a coup over-throwing a democratically elected regime. In congress Leoni faces problems in part easier than those of Betan- court, but in part more difficulty. Their party commands only 33 per cent of the congress and therefore needs allies for clearing any legis- lation. The new congress has no Com- munist or Revolutionary Left members, the two parties having been banned from the election. Betancourt's opposition in the chamber of deputies was a coali- tion of leftist parties, including Communists, which deliberately sabotaged his legislative program. Unlike Betancourt, Leoni has rejected the Social Christian Party as a coalition partner and instead has formed a pact with some of the very' parties which fought Betancourt, principally the Republican Democratic Union. Some political experts consider this alliance cannot last long. They forecast'that Leoni eventually will, have 'to ask help from the Social Christians to maintain stability. Their expectation is that the Republican Democratic Union and leftist splinter parties will, press Leoni to grant amnesty to former Communist a n d Revolutiona-ry Left congressmen who were jailed by -Betancourt. for court-martial on charges of rebellion. Envoys of 50 nations have pre- sented credentials for the inaugur- ation. Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall heads the United States delegation.
