PRESIDENT HARLAN HATCHER SYMPOSIUM: Aide Views UN Council By ROBERT HIPPLER "We in the United Nations Se- curity Council believe in realism and intend to carry out our be- lief as long as this is not at the ex- pense of high ideals," M. A. Vel- lodi, director of the department of political and security council affairs of the UN, said last night. Speaking before the banquet of the Second International Arms Control and Disarmament Sympo- sium, Vellodi highlighted his views on several issues now facing the United Nations. The main problems he dealt with were the proposal for a per- manent UN police force financed by member nations, the plan for] a separate international organiza-] tion to be set up in order to deal exclusively with the internation- al police actions now undertaken by the UN. Also the argument over wheth- er the United tSates and the USSR are purposely bypassing the UN in certain bilateral negotia- tions. An example of a realistic view, he said, is that the question of a permanent UN police force is best dealt with in facing the fact that such a force is not at present practical. He cited the views of UN Secretary-General U Thant as a basis for his opinion. Thant, he said, noted in a re- cent address that a permanent force is an institution for the fu- ture, not for today. First, finan- cial arrangements, that is, mone- tary backing of such a force, are not at present feasible because of the financial crisis through which the UN has been going in the last three years.

Bans Poll Tax On U.S. Ballot WASHINGTON (A)-An amend- ment was written into the United States Constitution yesterday ban- ning the poll tax as a condition for voting in elections for federal office. The South Dakota Senate rati- fled the 24th amendment by a vote of 34-0. The House had approved it last week. South Dakota thus became the ties with a limited amount of funds. To Allocate Increases He said administrators will be- gin work on deciding how to allo- cate any increases in appropria- tion, using Romney's recommen- dation to the Legislature of - $44.0 million as a base. This sum-which would be $5.8 million over this year's legislative appropriation-fell only $3.6 mil- lion short of the University's re- quest and, with the full-year cal- endar now second in priority, pre- sumably would be sufficient to finance the start of year-round operations. In his statement to the Regents, President Hatcher noted Gov. George Romney's $5.7 million cap- ital outlay recommendation as a significant step forward. He linked the proposed increase with last year's economic boom. To Complete Payments President Hatcher explained that the funds outlayed for Uni- versity buildings include $385,000 to complete payments on the Mu- sic School Bldg., $1.87 million for completion of the Fluids Engi- neering Bldg. and $500,000 for the continuance of hospital renova- tion. In addition funds have been a- located for the planning and con- struction of a dental building and of Medical Science Unit II. An allocation of $300,000 is to go to- ward the remodeling of the East Medical Bldg. for the future use of the liteiary college after scien- tific units move out. . Speaking of Romney's advisory "blue ribbon" education commit- tee, President Hatcher termed its report a "major breakthrough" in thinking about the budget for higher education. Political 'Courage' He said the governor displayed political "courage" in increasing the appropriation $21 million when early recommendations of his own staff had been for only about a $12 million increase. Although Romney's offer is less than the $25 million boost seen as a minimum by the "blue ribbon", committee, President Hatcher did note that, in contrast to the last few years, a new and higher level of support had been reached which he hoped would continue. Plaque Unversity President Harlan Hatcher proposed at yesterday's Regents meeting that a com- memorative plaque be placed on the steps of the Union, where President John F. Ken- nedy made his first public statement regarding creation of the Peace Corps. Kennedy visited Ann Arbor during a campaign talk in Oc- tober, 1960. Regent Alan Soren- son of Midland moved that the proposal be accepted. He sug- gested that any excess funds from contributions be placed in a memorial scholarship fund. many excise taxes-at an estimat-. ed revenue loss of $455 million, compared with 1963. Thecommittee had voted yes- terday morning to repeal or ease excise levies on luggage, jewelry, furs and cosmetics. But just before yesterday afternoon's final vote, it reversed this action in a single, 9-8 ballot. It was .understood that Johnson took a personal hand in convincing nine Democrats that the heavy prospective loss can not be accepted. The Finance Committee staff is expected to take about a week in preparing the Senate version of the bill, which varies in many de- tails from that voted by the House. Senate debate will start late next week or on Feb. 3 and ad- ministration leaders will shoot for Senate passage by or before the start of the Lincoln's birthday re- cess on Feb. 11. The next objective will be a reconciliation of differences be- tween the Senate and House ver- sions in time for final passage by or before March 1 so a reduction in withholding payments by wage and salary earners can start by that date. tiona gross of al by th Th Comn asked Kenn The last-n of ae Hits Snag In Geneva GENEVA ") - President Lyn- don B. Johnson's proposals for halting the nuclear arms race ran into firm Soviet objections at the disarmament conference yesterday and seemed headed for a dead- lock. With an angry sweep of his hand, Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin told reporters the Unit- ed States plan for an Atlantic alliance multi - national nuclear force "has to be cleared away" be- fore there can be any agreement to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. Western officials of the 17-na- tion conference were more hope- ful of finding common ground with the Russians on other parts of the President's arms control plan, including the establishment of observation posts to prevent surprise attack and accidental war- Submits Plan Johnson's five-point plan was submitted to the conference Tues- day by United States disarma- ment negotiator William C. Fos- ter. Tsarapkin is expected to deliver the first formal Russian comment on the plan next week. But his comments to reporters and conference speeches by other Soviet Bloc delegates gave a clear indication of the Moscow stand. This is that the United States first must abandon its plans for a seaborne nuclear striking force controlled jointly by members of the North Atlantic Alliance in- cluding West Germany. Only Two Only the United States and West Germany have shown much enthusiasm for the seaborne force. The Soviet position thus fore- shadowed a probable deadlock on three of Johnson's five points: the non - dissemination of nuclear weapons, a verified freeze of stra- tegic nuclear delivery systems and a controlled halt in the produc- tion of fissionable materials for weapons use. Conference sources said discus- sion of the establishment of ob- servation posts seemed to have the best chances of leading to nego- tiations. Links Post System Tsarapkin Tuesday linked an observation post system with the simultaneous demilitarization of East and West Germany. This is unacceptable to the Western pow- ers. There was also what one dele- gate called restrained optimism concerning a possible agreement on the reunification of force, threats and subversion in the set- tlement of territorial disputes. The negotiation of such an agreement, the subject of a recent correspondence between Johnson and Russian Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, was the first of Johnson's five points. Heyn By H.

Both amendments were ap- . proved by SGC Nov. 30, but could not be implemented immediately; because any alteration of the Plan - Council's constitution - is subject to Regental sanction. Endorsing the addition of the ISA ex-officio, Lewis commented keeping with our desire to mold budget will probably get Demo- cratic support, and will have its toughest time in the Republican caucuses. Kowalski said that the major question in his mind is "whether Romney will fight for this budget." Lesinski Doubts Lt. Gov. T. John Lesinski said that he doubted that the state Legislature would approve Rom-. ney's program because "the Legis- lature is not likely to take two steps this session on the things it refused to take even one step on before." Rep. Carroll C. Newton (R-Del- ton), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Commit- tee, expressed sharp criticism of the governor's plan. He said that he thinks it goes too far, noting that "Romney is asking too much for education. I'm not opposed to some one-shot increases in this area, but I'm afraid I would be op- posed to those that would put the state back in the hole." Thayer said that there might be some pressures to cut back the proposed $21 million higher edu- cation appropriation, and raise college tuitions. He noted, how- ever, that "any increase of this type should be coupled with schol- arship increases." According to Romney, however, the proposed fiscal plan would leave a surplus in the treasury, even though the budget shows the state spending more than it takes in. This is due to the surplus of approximately' $30 million which by the end of this fiscal year the governor anticipates will more than cover the deficit in his pro- posed budget. Green said that budgeting a surplus is a wise move on the gov- ernor's part because it will guar- antee a surplus next year, thus keeping the state in good financial shape. Seeking Plan For Merger Board Cites Delay Which Necessitates Co-educational Start By JOHN BRYANT The Michigan Union Board of Directors last night voted unani- mously to include women in all levels of its student activities structure. The board said that setbacks in plans for a merger between the Union and the Women's League had pushed the date of a merger back far enough so that "it is not in the best interests of the Uni- versity to delay the beginning of a coeducational activities program any longer." In its statement, the board did not rule out the possibility of a merger with' the League in the future. It stated that "the addi- tion of women in student activi- ties will provide the necessary first step to any future merger of the Union and the -League andl the Union wishes to continue dis- cussion with the League." 'Surprised' at Move However, Women's League Pres- ident Gretchen Groth, '64, said she was "surprised" at the move and added, "I hope they are sincere in planning to continue work on the merger. "The League was thinking in terms of a merger of both organi- zations, rather than having one organization become coeducational by simply admitting members of the opposite sex." Miss Groth did not think that the League Board of Governors would be any more receptive to an early merger because of the Union's action. Represents Application Union President Raymond Rus- nak, '64, said that the Union' Board's action represented an ap- plication of the philosophy of co- educational student activities ex- pressed ,in the Robertson Report of last year. The report, which outlined a plan for merging the two organizations, has been under cbnsideration since May despite Regental criticism. He noted that under the Union's present constitution no woman could be elected to senior posts. "We do not anticipate having to make any revisions at this time since it is unlikely that a woman would petition for a senior office now. However, should the situation arise, the board would take ap- propriate action." Norman Peslar, '64E, Union ad- ministrative vice-president, said he felt the Union's personnel situ- ation would be aided by the inclu- sion of women. Miss Groth, how- ever, did not think the League's situation would be hurt in this respect. Asks Revision To Streamline Unit's Set-up The Michigan Union Board O Directors approved principles for revision of its own structure but delayed final passage pending a final wording of the structure by the Union's senior officers. The plan basically approved is intended to "streamline" the board and make it more able to devote itself to financial and ma- jor policy matters. The number of board members would be reduced from 19 to 11, with the new board consisting of the three senior officers, three s Protest Lecture Officials are now hopeful that the letters may also have set a reaction in motion which will have favorable reverberations on the Legislature. Highlighting these letters is a verbatim reproduction of Rom- ney's "blue ribbon" committee re- port which set a $25 million ap- propriation hike as a minimum. The University's letter, dis- patched by University President Harlan Hatcher to over 90,000 state alumni, invites the recipients to peruse the recommendations in the report.
