Robert F. Ken- nedy met with President Sukarno for two hours last night on the Malaysia crisis and said he be- lieved he and the Indonesian lead- er had reached general agreement. He spoke with Sukarno and Deputy Prime Minister Subandrio as a mediator in the conflict that' has pitted Indonesia and the Philippines against the infant Federation of Malaysia. An I n d o n e s i a n government spokesman said later that formal talks scheduled for today had been canceled and that Kennedy would cut short his visit by at least half a day and leave for- Cambodia. To Discuss Visit The source also said the Su- p r e m e Operational Command (KOTI) would meet tomorrow to hear- Sukarno's views on the talks with President Lyndon B. John- son's special envoy on the Mala- sia dispute. KOTI is Indonesia's top policy decision making body. Seeking to promote Indonesia- Philippine-Malaysia summit talks, Kennedy said he will have a fuller statement today and that he un- derstands Sukarno also will issue a statement. The first requirement is to stop the shooting which has been growing in intensity between In- donesian-backed guerrillas and British, Malaysian troops in Sara- wak and Sabah in Northern Bor- neo. Modifies Conditions Main Function One of the main functions of the institute is selecting, placing and supervising the more than 3500 foreign students from more' than 80 countries who study in the United States annually. Selec- tion is made through bi-national committees, which receive appli- cations and hold interviews and send applications on to approp- riate United States institutions, Davis said. Also, the institute gives an intensive training program to about 700 foreign students as they enter the United States. Screens Students Another purpose of IIE is to screen United States students who apply to go overseas on grants such as Rhodes or Fulbright scholarships. After this term, he will move to New York, where the institute has recently completed headquarters contiguou§ to the United Nations. The University has had the sec- ond largest or largest numbers of IIE sponsored- students in the na- tion in the last few years, Davis said. Davis supervised the University's foreign student and visitors pro- gram involving more than 1600 foreign visitors annually. He also worked for the Center for the Study of Higher Education. Davis is a member of the execu- tive committee of the National Council on Community Services to International Visitors and is a member of the National College Advisory Committee of the Ameri- can National Red Cross. He is a former president of the National Association of Foreign Students Advisers, and was chair- man of President John F. Ken- nedy's task force of Exchange of Persons in 1960-61. McCabe Takes Iowa Position DES MOINES-Brian F. Mc- Cabe, 37, assistant professor. of otorhinolaryngology at the Univer- sity of Michigan Medical Center since 1960, has been named pro- fessor and head of the department of otolaryngology and maxillo- facial surgery at the State Univer- sity of Iowa. The Iowa Board of Regents an- nounced the appointment would be effective July 1. Prof. McCabe, a native of De- troit, received a B.S. degree at the University of Detroit in 1950, and the M.D. degree at the Uni- versity in 1954. $.6 Billion Budget Set By Romney Calls Record Outlay 'Lean But Muscular' LANSING W) - G o v. George Romney yesterday gave the Legis- lature a record proposed budget of $622.4 million for 1964-65, terming it a "lean but muscular" plan tailored to meet needs while using less money than is available. In a detailed account of the program outlined in his Jan. 9 "State of the State" message, Romney called for sharply in- creased spending in education and mental health. At the same time, however, he recommended that $24 million in surplus funds be budgeted for the coming fiscal year, $19 million of which would go into a Michigan "future fund" for capital outlay. The other $5 million would be budgeted as general fund surplus, Romney said, as evidence that Michigan no longer is in the bad financial condition of recent years. He said his budget, "a record in scope as well as in size," is de- signed to "close a gap between needs and services that resulted in part from Michigan's fiscal problems. "A surplus will be proof to the people of Michigan and the nation that Michigan has regained its fis- cal integrity and once again is the dynamic, progressive forward- looking state we have been histor- ically," said the governor. His total figure of $622.4 million is some $72 million higher than the $550 million which the Legis- lature authorized for the current fiscal year. The proposed new total includes general fund increases of nearly $70 million for education and $13 million for mental health op- erations, both of which Romney has described as areas of prime concern. These two spending items - $273.7 million for education, $98.7 for mental health - comprise about 60 per cent of the total budget. The education total includes $131 million for higher educa- tion, $94.4 million for state school aid, and $32 million for capital outlay. In welfare spending - always one of the three largest items in the budget-Romney asked an in- crease of less than one per cent, to a total of $99.3 million. In a special welfare message last week, Romney outlined a plan for greater state participation in federal programs he said would bring in some $14.9 million and ease the pressure on local and state welfare funds. A key feature of Romney's budget is a "pay-as-you-grow" capital outlay program which pro- poses spending $51 million in 1964-65 for state building and ex- pansion. Ro mney ToSeekl $44Mil1ion Sum' Recommends $21.5 Million Increase In State Higher Education Funds By The Associated Press A record $44 million appropriation for the University was - recommended to the Legislature by Gov. George Romney yesterday. The request falls $3.6 million under the $47.6 million the University asked for, though it is $5.8 million more than it got last year. Romney requested a total operating expenditure for state colleges and universities of $131.3 million-an increase of $21.5 million over 1963. He also asked for a record capital out- lay appropriation for them of $27 million. Both requests, however, fall short of the "rock-bottom" expenditures recommended in the interim report of the Citi- ,zens' Committee on Higher OWNER DENIES CHARGES: Anonymous Note Threatens Barber I Malaysian Prime Minister Tun- ku Abdul Rahman yesterday mod- ified his conditions for a summit meeting, saying he would not in- sist that Indonesia and the Phil- ippines first recognize Malaysia. But he said he sticks to his de- mand for a truce in the unde- clared guerrilla war along the Ma- laysia-Indonesia border in Borneo. Kennedy and Subandrio, who is also Indonesia's foreign minister, emerged from the meeting togeth- er. Both were sober and unsmil- ing. Subandrio said nothing about this windup of a tour that had previously taken Kennedy to To- kyo, Manila and the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. United S t a t e s Ambassador Howard P. Jones, who attended with Kennedy, said he was en- couraged. "There were full and frank dis- cussions," he said, "but the talks went very well." 50-50 Chance Other United States diplomats following the situation closely are giving the truce about a 50-50 chance of succeeding. Even if the effort fails, there is hope that the next step would not be a shooting war between Indonesia and Ma- laysia which has the support of Britain, Australia and New Zea- land and its defense effort. A foreign ministry spokesman, Ganis Harsono, said that there will be an informal discussion be- tween Kennedy and Sukarno aft- er the morning meeting of KOTI. There was no immediate expla- tion from United States sources why Kennedy was cutting short his visit to Indonesia. Economic Boycott President Sukarno's island na- tion is an arch-foe of Malaysia, fighting that collection of former British colonies with an economic boycott and encouragement of guerrillas raiding its states in Bor- neo. Prince Norodom Sihanouk of neutralist Cambodia, who is pur- suing an independent mediation effort, paused at Sabah's capital, Jesselton, on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Manila. The Sabah government gave him a red carpet reception. By RAYMOND HOLTON Donald Taylor, owner of the Student Friend Discount Barber Shop, 347 Maynard, revealed yes- terday he received a threatening unsigned note. Civil rights demon- strations are currently being stag- ed at the shop. Taylor also reported that he has asked his lawyer, Ralph Keyes, to seek a court injunction to stop demonstrators from picketing his shop. In another civil rights incident, John Logothetis, owner of Thomp- son's Restaurant, 221 N. Main, denied charges of alleged dis- crimination in hiring practices leveled by the Ann Arbor chapter of the Congress on Racial Equal- ity. Taylor said that the picketers blocked the barber shop's entrance and forced him to close. Denies Charges However, a CORE spokesman denied the blocking charge. "Tay- lor keeps the door of his shop locked and opens it for each white customer. When a Negro knocks on the door, the barbers ignore him and he is forced to stand in the doorway waiting for a hair- cut," he said. The CORE group has been picketing the shop for several weeks because of the shop's re- fusal to cut Negroes' hair. 'Everett Lawson, one of Taylor's barbers, was ordered by Municipal Court Judge Francis O'Brien Mon- day to stand trial next month for violation of a state public accom- modations law. Taylor said that Lawson did not know how to cut a Negro's hair. Taylor also stated that he could not cut Negroes' hair because he was "too nervous." The note, which Taylor turned over to the police, stated that a dozen individuals "are watching and waiting at various points around your place. "These are the 'tough' boys of this racial insurrection," the note said. Tuesday a pop bottle filled with kerosenewas thrown through the shop's window. Taylor also said that someone punctured a hole in the shop's ceiling. Meanwhile, Logothetis expressed his disgust with the CORE group "because of the organization's un- reasonable demands and attempt to formulate the hiring policies of my restaurant." "I hired the fourth Negro for part time work strictly to show CORE I do not discriminate. I admit, with only three Negroes working, it may have looked like a case of discrimination. Unjust Interference "Then, the day after I hired the waiter, CORE sent me a letter demanding that I hire other Negro help. The letter contained dates, or deadlines, and specific num- bers of Negroes I was supposed to hire," Logothetis said. "It's just as if CORE is owner and manager of the restaurant. "Besides, since I have owned this restaurant (one year) there has been only one Negro girl who has asked for employment. And she was the test case associated with CORE," Logothetis continued. However, the CORE group claimed that last October a Ne- gro applied for a job as waitress and was told the job was filled. The next day, according to CORE, a white girl with less experience was offered the job. CORE Cites Bad Faith It further claimed that the res- taurant "negotiated in bad faith for three months." It asked that a Negro waitress be employed either full or part/time, since the Negro waiter hired shortly before the picketing began works only eight hours a week. In a printed notice the res- taurant is currently giving to its customers, the management says, "We have always employed Ne- groes and will continue to do so if they meet our qualifications. "CORE demands that we hire a Negro even if he is less qualified than other applicants. We refuse to meet such demands in spite of organized pressure." Kaunda Becomes First Head Of Free Northern Rhodesia LUSAKA, Northern Rhodesia WP-Kenneth Kaunda was sworn in yesterday as the first prime minister of Northern Rhodesia after a decisive victory by his militant African Nationalists. Once banished for political agitation, the 39-year-old former teacher thus will be at the helm when Northern Rhodesia advances from self rule to independence from Britain later this year. Incom- plete returns from two-day elections ending Tuesday gave his United " National Independence Party 47 of the 65 African seats in the legislative assembly. Ten other seats are reserved for whites. Moderates Obtain Two Seats The moderates of Harry Nkum- bula's African National Congress Education. Romney's requests fall $4 million below the $135 million recommended operat- ing expenditure and $22 mil- lion under the $49 million capital outlay figure. The University would get $5.2 million of the capital outlay total, of which $1.5 million would go to start construction on a Dental School Bldg. and $1.2 million to begin the Medical Science Bldg., Unit II. Other funds include $500,000 to complete renovation of University Hospital, as well as funds to furnish the Music School Bldg., to complete construction of the Fluids Engineering Bldg. on North Campus and to remodel the East Medical Bldg. The overall request was lower than that recommended by the Democratic State Central Com- mittee. They urged an appropria- tion figure equal to the requests of the 10 state-supported colleges and universities-$144 million. State Superintendent of Educa- tion Lynn Bartlett was critical of the recommended $10 per student increase in state support to com- munity colleges. Bartlett had ask- ed for $26 increase, while the col- leges themselves asked an increase of $76, to bring total state support per student to $300. While the University's operat- ing expenditures are up by 15.3 per cent, Michigan State Univer- sity's are up by 22.6 per cent to a record $39.6 million. Romney said this "is a reflection of the in- crease in students at MSU." He added that "MSU is in a heavy outlay period and the big bulk of the University's will come next year." MSU is expecting full-time en- rollment next year to hit 30,497, a See ROMNEY, Page 3 Niehuss Encouraged Terming Gov. George Romney's appropriation recommendation a "significant breakthrough," Exe- cutive Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss said last night that if passed, it will permit the Univer- sity to "start toward remedying the deficiencies in our operations" which have accumulated over the last six years. In that period, from the fiscal year 1957-58, the Legislature has appropriated funds totaling rough- ly $50 million less than the sum of the University's requests. Rom- ney's recommended .figure would represent the first major per- centage increase in the Univer- sity's budget since 1956. "This budget will allow the Uni- versity to provide for the large en- rollment increase coming next fall," Niehuss said. He tempered his optimism, how- ever, with the comment that the $44 million still falls $3.6 million under the University's budget re- quest for the coming fiscal year. "We will obviously have to leave urgent needs unmet," he said. Top priority, Niehuss declared, must be given to raising faculty and staff salaries and staff ad- ditions. Moreover, "it is my hope that we will be able to make some start toward year-round opera- tion." While no decisions have been made, the vice-president in- dicated this item will be "fairly See Merger In Next Year By MICHAEL SATTINGER The final merger of the -student activities of the Michigan Union and the Michigan League was foreseen by the League Board's merger committee as being realiz- ed in the spring of 1965. The merger committee, in a pro- gress report which was accepted unanimously by the League Board at their monthly meeting yester- day, expected to have final plans for a Union-League merger of student activities ready by this spring: Past Coordination The progress report further notes that the League and the Michigan Union have been co- ordinating and combining their activities since the inception of the merger idea. "Other activities can and most likely will be combined during the next year," the report states. The League's merger committee has been meeting with a similar Union committee to work out de- tails of a merger plan. Gretchen Groth, '64 Women's League presi- dent and member of the nerger committee, said that members of the committee "decided that we had too little time to come to a final conclusion" for yesterday's deadline, at which time the Union and League had hoped to be able to present a merger plan to their respective boards for implementa- tion this year. ToWrite Constitution / DISARMAMENT SYMPOSIUM: Hart Emphasizes Non-Defens n By JOHN WEILER "Whether or not we move to- ward an era of disarmament;there are non-defense needs awaiting solution now," Senator Philip A. Hart (D-Mich) said last night in speaking before the Second Inter- national Arms Control and Dis- armament Symposium here at the University. Hart noted that problems on the local level should be taken care of with the same vigor with which the United States is now embark- ing on the moon race. He said that the many non-military needs de- serve a much higher priority than they are now getting. Hart suggested that his pro- posed commission on the applica- tion of technology to community needs would be one major step in solving both the non-military needs and providing a smooth .4 -nn fr.m Aafan enn+ninte would study the needs of the com- munities and later provide for many of these needs. "This would balance national and local inter- ests," Hart added. Since more than 50 per cent of all scientists are now working in defense areas they could assume dual roles and serve both defense and non-defense needs. "I think that these research complexes might logically be turned loose on our pressing terrestial needs," Hart said. "The more immediate concern is the communities," Hart comment- ed. "Would not it be better to serve the community first than go to the moon?" he asked. Certainly the problems of air pollution, community d e v e 1 o p m e n t, and other community needs are im- portant, he added. Secondary Benefit rrhPappnnnnrvPmida lon ervoa +he Hart said that as the defense department revises its contract awards from one area to another, the areas that loose the contracts "suffer as if there actually were disarmament." He emphasized that the proposals will be passed either this session of Congress or in one not too far in the future since there must be a transition made from defense to non-defense industries. Government Initiation The initial steps in making the transition must come from the government since it is the govern- ment that has the pools of large resources at its control. Hart noted that both his own bill and the one proposed by Humphrey would identify the problem areas and "lead toward resolving the problems." He noted that the Senate would probably so far had won but two seats-. Police broke up a riot between followers of Nkumbula and Kaun- da outside Congress Party head- quarters. Congress Party members charged Kaunda's workers inter- fered in the election. Police dispersed crowds in the northern border town of Mufulira to prevent clashes between the two rival parties. For the 250,000 whites among three million Africans in Northern Rhodesia, this was the end of any significant voice in the adminis- tration of the British protectorate. Serves as Minister Since home rule came in 1962, the whites have had 16 seats on the Ruling Council, Kaunda's party 14 and Nkumbula's party 7. Kaunda served as Minister of Lo- cal Government and Social Wel- fare. The federation government headed by Prime Minister Roy The League's merger committee anticipates that, working with the Union's merger committee, they will be able to write a constitution for a joint activities board and bylaws which will itemize the du- ties of officers. "The new officers will have the next year to familiarize the cam pus with the new organization," the progress report says. "Because of the fine projects rooms in the League and its ad- vantageous proximity to the thea- ter, we anticipate housing the coordinate activities, such as Soph Show, Musket, Homecoming, Frosh Friday, Spring Weekend, Michi- gras and Senior Night, in the League building," it says. 16 Get Fines For Sit-Ins Municipal Court Judge Francis L. O'Brien yesterday laid a $10 fine on 16 persons who pleaded "no contest" to loitering charges growing out of a sit-in demon- stration last fall at City Hall. Another defendant, Mrs. Ruth Zweifler, 33, refused to pay the fine and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. Arraignment still awaits 49 oth- er demonstrators who participated in the same sit-in demonstration following a city council meeting at which Ann Arbor's fair hous- ing ordinance was discussed.
