McNamara spent an hour at the White House yesterday reporting to President Lyndon B. Johnson what he found during his latest first-hand tour r of war-torn South Viet Nam. Johnson had sent McNamara for a new look in light of recent set- backs which shouwed the anti- Communist war needed to be propped up. The defense secretary told reporters at the airport the ning the war is by fighting it in South Viet Nam. Various United States officials said this does not rule out pos- sible action against North Viet Nam but that basically the war will be won or lost in South Viet Nam. They hold this view despite reports of major increases in Com- munist arms smuggling from the north. By all indications, no major changes in United States policies are in the wind. Many of the same tactics used in the past will be continued but, it is hoped, with more energy, intelligence and co- ordination. The main emphasis in increased American support will not be pri- marily military, United States of- ficials indicated. They point to the new program of pacification that Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh the premier, outlined to McNamara on his five-day visit. "The government must have the support of the people. Many of us did not have this understanding, and perhaps some of us still don't," a senior United States of- ficial said. "More personnel prob- ably will be assigned to work for United States civilian missions in the countryside, notably the United States Aid Mission's rural affairs section. More American training and aid probably will be concentrated on the rural, paramilitary defense forces. These forces, numbering about 180,000 men, almost equal the strength of the South Viet- namese army itself. A major purpose of McNamara's fact-finding trip was to assess- Khanh's.effectiveness. On leaving Viet Nam, McNa- mara told cheering Vietnamese that their new premier, Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh, has a sound stra- tegy for defeating the Viet Cong. and "we are confident these plans point the way to victory." T h e military revolutionary council that supplanted the late president Ngo Dinh Diem last Nov. 1 was weak and indecisive, offi- cials said. Washington feels that Khanh, who overthrew the coun- cil Jan. 30, has neither of these deficiencies, and has ended the "government by committee." Prospects Al By DICK WINGFIELD "In India, a government of rep- resentation is impractical for the present and unlikely for the fu- ture," Prof. Frederick G. Bailey of the University of Chicago, said Thursday night. Prof. Bailey said that the social structure of the country exhibits a caucus of local interests and po- litical machines rather than a representative system as in the United States. "It is necessary to view Indian affairs on two levels, on of indigenous social castes, and one of the political machine," he said. "It makes sense to ask a person to do something in the name of his caste, but not in the name of a political party such as Commun- Name Dean ppear Dim ism or Congress. As a result, the system is one where food and goods go one way and votes come in from the other." Want Communication A lack of communication is an- other factor impeding nationalistic representation. Prof. Bailey spoke of one representative in the state of Assir who tried to visit only his principle villages in one campaign. The tour tbok six months, and the man did win that election. "But that was only for one term. He was a Socialist and couldn't deliver the goods," he said. "Voters look for a mandwhonis loyal to their interests and one who will fight against the local of- ficials who cause them trouble," Prof. Bailey continued. "However, villages are undergoing a new 'morality'; that is, persons are more willing to give their votes to a man for other reasons than tan- gible rewards, or bribes." Profit and Reward "Politicians don't believe in parties. They don't work on fer- vor, but rather calculate profit and reward. The machine merely determines the need that can be advantageously satisfied. "Furthermore, the system must be built link by link. One link may be easily snapped if omebody does not deliver goods where he is ex- pected. This makes a representa- tive fastidiously conscious of his constituency." Western style representation al- lows for a slack in economic con- trol in which the smarter and more talented become rich, Bailey said. "This poorer country (India) needs a more incisive system which avoids the delay inherent in ours," he declared. PollIndicates Romney Would Beat Higgins DETROIT M) - The Detroit News reported yesterday that its voter poll shows Gov. George W. Romney would take 94.3 per cent of the Republican votes in a pri- mary contest with George N. Hig- gins, Ferndale auto dealer and former GOP state senator. Higgins indicated yesterday that he will file for the nomination within the next 30 days. "I ex- pect to win," he said. The News addod that in a sur- vey of those traditionally voting in Democratic primaries, it found 44.0 per cent favoring Romney to 33.2 per cent for Higgins. It said 22.2 per cent of the Democrats re- fused to vote. Meanwhile, apparently fearing Romney may change his mind and become a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for president, a group of Upper Peninsula Repub- licans Thursday night formed an organization to insist" Rumney lead Michign again." The governor repeatedly has said he is not a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination and will not become an active candi- date, although he would accept nomination by draft. He has not yet announced whether he will run for governor again. ROBERT McNAMARA President had given him directives: two 1) Appraise the political, eco- nomic and military situation. 2) Determine what "additional actions if any" the United States should take in Viet Nam. Reports from Saigon indicate that McNamara's visit has left the impression that while the United States will step up its par- ticipation in the Communist guer- rilla war it is unlikely to extend operations beyond South Viet Nam's border. Various Washington officials have dropped some broad hints that the United States might take some action against Communist North Viet Nam, the chief support of the guerrillas. McNamara himself told report- ers that the primary way of win- CHARLES DE GAULLE I Unions Plan Strike Date PARIS (;)-A one-day protest strike against President Charles de Gaulle's Labor Party is set for next Wednesday while the presi- dent is in Mexico City. The strike was called by the Communist-led General Confeder- ation of Workers. Several other unions are taking a hard look be- fore joining. Unions already committed in- tend to cut electrical power, halt trains and subways, call off school for the day and hold up mail de- liveries. The unions' main demand is for more money. The strike was called only hours after the government announced a new plan, called the Toutee re- port after its author, Jean Toutee. The report proposed statistical study units in each industry, with labor and management participa- tion, so that negotiations could be based on mutually agreed figures. Some unions saw this as a con- structive step on the government's part and were, therefore, reserv- ing judgment on whether to join the strike. Others said the Toutee report was worth discussing but that certain procedures could not be accepted. The Confederation and several close followers decided to strike anyway to protest wage scales which remain frozen. They say, at the same time, that government efforts to hold down retail prices have failed. The government claims its stabilization program is meeting with success. House Passes Tenure Bill LANSING M-P)-Mandatory state- wide teacher tenure - meaning greater job security for some 50,000 Michigan public school teachers-is on its pay to becom- ing law. On a 61-41 vote, the House Thursday approved legislation in- itiated by the 6700-member Mich- igan Education Association with 325,000 petition signatures and passed earlier by the Senate, 20-11. Tenure will provide that no teacher can be fired without cause after a two-year probationary period. It will go into effect 90 days after the Legislature ad- journs. By JEROME HINIKER "We feel that the racial situa- tion in Ann Arbor has reached such a position that it is essential that someone begin to talk to the community, get a dialogue going in which there is a lot more rea- son and logic than heat and an- ger," Medical School Prof. Albert H. Wheeler, an NAACP leader, said Thursday evening at a civil rights forum attended by nearly 75 persons. The public meeting, whic. was held for the purpose of discussing "Problems Associated wian the Griwing Frictions between Local Government, Negroes and the Civil Rights Groups," was called less than two weeks after the oc- currence of a demonstration by the Direct Action Committee which resulted in a violent clash between DAC members an). +ne Ann Arbor City Police. Besides Prof. Wheeler, the panel icluded two judges, a juvenile ctse wf iker, a psychiatrct, and the director of the Ann Arbor Hu- man Relations Ccrnmissioi. Racial Prejudice In his opening statement Dr. Wheeler discussed what he termed an "obviously bad relationship be- tween the police, Negro youth, Ne- gro adults and others actively en- gaged in the civil rights struggle." These individuals are covinced, he stated, that iscial prejudice is a significant factor in all units of the police department. WVheelcr also said that many Negro yo:.bhs do not respac the police ber'; i se "the youths feel tie vlice do, not treat thei as human beings." Municipal Court Judge Fran- cis L. O'Brien and Probate Judge John W. Conlin minimized the im- portance of racial discrimination and emphasized socio-economic factors as the prime causes of crime. Unemployment Problem In Judge O'Brien's court, a neg- ligible number of Negroes ap- peared in the ten-year period from 1950 to 1960, and he said that there has been only a slight in- crease in the last few years. Al- most invariably, O'Brien said, those involved in serious trouble with the law are unemployed. Con- sequently, he feels it imperative that the unemployment problems be solved. Judge Conlin said that the ma- jority of the juveniles appearing in Probate Court have poorly educat- ed parents. He cited the last six- teen cases which he had heard as Dean Myron E. Wegman of the public health school was ap- pointed head of a nine-man "Action Committee on Health Care" by Gov. George Romney yesterday. The committee is to study pre-paid hospital and medical care plans.

George Wallace scoffed at a federal gov- ernment demand for statewide school desegregation yesterday and predicted, "we are going to continue to have segregation." The governor met reporters at a news conference after the Jus- tice Department asked a three- judge federal court to outlaw Ala- bama's racially segregated school system and ,at the same time, pro-, hibit Wallace from interfering. s * * CAPE KENNEDY -- A Minute- man missile scored a 5,000-mile test flight success yesterday, but an attempt to boost a scientific probe 23,000 miles into space failed when the fourth stage of the Blue Scout booster rocket, which was to have explored the earth's magnetic field, failed to ignite. Another success was registered yesterday at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., where a Titan 2 was fired more than 5000 miles in the last of a 10-shot research program. The Blue Scout blasted off just after dawn and appeared to per- form normally in the brief time it was in sight. But half an hour later, the Air Force reported the fizzle of the fourth stage. WASHINGTON -- The Senate Rules Committee, torn by a par- tisan row, broke up a 31/2 hour closed session yesterday without a decision on whether to halt the Bobby Baker investigation. At the stormy meeting, Republi- cans placed in evidence a sworn charge by an accountant, Milton L. Hauft, that his signature had been forged on Bobby Baker's fed- eral income tax returns.
