LXXIV, No. 90 To Ask Changes For Constitution House Group To Draft Proposals; Will Go On Ballot If Approved By THOMAS COPI A 24-man bipartisan committee in the House is drafting ten reso- lutions proposing changes in 41 sections of the new Constitution. They are to be introduced in the Legislature next week, with a one-month deadline for passage. If approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses, the reso- lutions would go on the ballot in a special election April 28. Rep. E. D. ___ GO'Brien (D-Detroit), co-chairman ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1964 SEVEN CENTS SIX PA CHARLES S. BLONDY PORNOGRAPHY? Bard Asks For Apology By JOHN MEREDITH The staff of the, Daily Pennsyl- vanian, student newspaper at the University ' of Pennsylvania, is considering whether to print an apology for a controversial column titled "Sex and the Single Dean" which it published last week. The column, labled almost por- nographic by the school's dean of men, was critical of the involve- ment of the dean of women's- of- fice in the personal lives of Penn- sylvania's female students. It com- mented generally on sex mores and specifically on women's curfews in a manner that drew severe criticism for "vulgarity" from both the student body and the ad- ministration. At a meeting of the Undergrad- uate Publications Board yesterday, the paper offered to publish an apology for printing an article that could be misinterpreted as being slanderous against the dean of women. However, the board re- fused this proposal, demanding the publication of a more strongly worded apology. The board and representatives of the paper worked out a com- promise statement which, al- though not admitting that the article actually was slanderous, was stronger than the Daily Penn- sylvanian staff thought justifiable. The likely alternative to publi- cation of the compromise apology is the establishment by the board of an ad hoc disciplinary com-, mittee to investigate the article, and to take any punitive action, against the paper that it considers, appropriate. This action could in-, clude the suspension of the column's author and the paper's editor from their positions on the Daily Pennsylvanian. If the paper decides to print the apology, it will appear on Monday. The paper's staff will choose whichever course of action they feel to be in the best interest of their organization, Bourne Ruth- rauff, editor-in-chief of the paper, said. He noted that since the out- come of the issue will inevitably set a precedent for future rela- tions with the administration, much more than opinions about the taste of the article in ques- tion must be considered. Three Choose Jail Sentence Three persons elected to serve3 30 days in jail yesterday instead of paying a $10 fine for charges of loitering in connection with sit-in demonstrations at City Hall last fall. Ten University students were among those tried. of the unofficial committee, said that the one-month deadline for passage is necessary because the secretary of state is required byI law to have 60 days to set up the special election. Go Into Effect If the amendments were then ratified, they would go into effect 45 days later, on June 12, just four days before the deadline for can- didates to file nominating petitions for public office. This is important because one of the key changes proposed by the committee would freeze the pres- ent legislative districts through Jan. 1, 1965, permitting the ap- portionment c o m m i s s i o n now working on a redistricting plan to "ignore" the 1964 elections, and allowing lawmakers to seek re- election in their present districts. Senate Minority Leader Charles S. Blondy (D-Detroit) said that time wouldn't necessarily present a problem, because the legisiative rules could be suspended, and im- mediate action taken at any time before Feb. 28, if necessary. Suspending Rules Rep. Gail Handy (R-Eau Claire), co-chairman of the special committee, said that he wasn't sure whether or not the rules could be suspended in dealing with resolutions of this type, in which case they would have to wait at least five days before going on generalvorders in each house. Blondy said that the proposal to postpone reapportionment prob- ably would have the least trouble of any of the measures in passing the Legislature, because the ap- portionment commission "is hav- ing so much trouble" deciding on boundaries for new districts. The apportionment commis- sion's deadline for presenting their plan is Friday, but the four-man,; bi-partisan group is apparentlyi deadlocked.7 Gov. George Romney has re- cently expressed the opinion thati the legislators should run from; the present districts since the new ones haven't been drawn up yet.' However, the governor has no say in the Legislature's attempts to amend the new Constitution. ; Propose Changes Other changes proposed by the Housecommittee wouldy: -Restore the 1908 Constitu- tion's provision that highway1 funds may be used for highway1 purposes only, depriving the Legis- lature of the right to decide what constitutes a "highway purpose." Handy said that this measure1 would "counter-act a tendency in the Legislature to take highway1 funds for other purposes." --Restore language of the 19081 Constitution to provide that twot cents of the state sales tax shall go to primary and secondary edu- cation, instead of one-half to all education as provided by the new See DRAFT, Page 2t Romney's Proposals A ttacked BY LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Special To The Daily LANSING-An unexpected fus- illade of negative reaction to his proposed higher education budget yesterday sent Gov. George Rom- ney scurrying to confer and plot s statistical counterattack with his key budget aides. Touching off the harried hour- long conference with State Con- troller Glenn Allen, Budget Di-3 rector Paul Wileden and Educa- tional Aide Charles Orlebeke were complaints that the recommended allotments for Wayne State Uni- versity and Michigan Technolog- ical University were too meager. Romney and his budget crew have scheduled a peace conference with high Michigan Tech offi- cials for 9:30 a.m. today, but Lansing sources said the governor was concerned more about re- sponding to the Wayne complaints -launched by Lt. Gov. John Le- sinski (D-Detroit) Inequitable Slice Sources reported that both Le-' sinski and Michigan Tech officials were bickering that these institu- tions had not received an equit- able slice of Romney's $131.3 mil- lion recommendation for a high- er education appropriation issued to the Legislature Tuesday.L The governor asked the Legisla- ture to award a $20.1 million oper- ating appropriation to WSU - a hike of $2.5 million, or 14 per cent over this year's Wayne al- lotment of $17.6 million. Wayne had requested $22.2 million to handle its anticipated six per cent enrollment increase next year. For Michigan Tech, Romney recommended that the Legislature appropriate $4.1 million, a 17 per cent increase over last year. Tech had asked for'$6 million. University Praise University officials have prais- ed the governor for his recom- mendation that the University be given an operating budget of $44 million, almost $6 million or 15 per cent above the appropriation of last year. In scheduling the meeting with Michigan Tech for today, Lansing sources indicated that it was "ex- tremely doubtful" that the gover- nor would change his recommen- dation. Romney called the meet- ing yesterday to ascertain that no mistake had been made in com- piling the recommendation to WSU and Michigan Tech, the sources said. One source speculated that the governor's anxiety to make at least token efforts to review and defend the recommendations at- test to his determination to nurse his proposed budget through the Legislature w i t h o u t suffering heavy slashes. Accepted Recommendation His more conservative budget recommendation last year for higher education was accepted substantially as he presented it, the source noted. Aides close to the governor have been concerned that a solid bloc of members of the House may be forming to perform heavy surgery on this year's budget. Crucial to its passage as rec- ommended would be the attitude of Democrats, the sources note.

Their statements followed an intensive round of activities by the peace committee, including a meeting with Johnson. After talking to Johnson in the morning the committee called Unted States and Panamanian negotiators to OAS headquarters Thursday night to join in new talks. First Meeting It was the first meeting of United States and Panamanian negotiators Once an earlier agree- ment fell apart shortly after be- ing signed Jan. 13. Panama read that agreement as a United States pledge to nego- tiate a new Panama Canal treaty, while the United States viewed it as aimed at a discussion of the problem. During Thursday night's meet- ing Miguel J. Moreno, Panama's ambassador to the OAS, protest- ed Johnson s Panama statement at an impromptu news conference earlier in the day. Moreno assert- ed that it showed that Johnson "has not been fully informed of how the violence took place in Panama." Johnson insisted that United States forces were confronted with sniper fire and mob attack and re- sisted aggression, but did not com- mit it.

Negroes Attack Grant in Aid In Louisiana NEW ORLEANS (P) - Negroes tried yesterday to enroll at one of the all-white private schools where pupils receive state aid. It was in the first attempt by Negroes to crack the grant in aid system-Louisiana's last-ditch ef- fort to preserve school segrega- tion. Officials at the school, the ninth ward elementary in New Orleans, turned away the Negroes, saying the head of the school was out. A. P. Tureaua, Sr., chief counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple in Louisiana, said they would try again. The ninth ward elementary is one of the private, segregated, non-sectarian schools springing up after the state set up a pro- gram of financial aid for children who didn't want to attend deseg- regated public schools. May Assign Bid to Bost onl NASA Investigation Reevaluates Location Of $50 Million Center By LOUISE LIND University President Harlan Hatcher yesterday acknowledged that by all reports the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration will re-award the NASA electronics center to Boston. Eighteen states and localities- including the Ann Arbor area- have in recent weeks souglt to win the bid for the $50 million center as NASA reevaluated its original selection of Boston at the request of Congress. NASA administrator J a m e s Webb said in Washington that a preliminary survey of bids from the 18 states "supported the ori-' ginal selection of Boston" Nothing Official Michael Radock, director of University relations, said yester- day that NASA has released no official announcement. "The Uni- versity has received no official word and, as far as we know, Con- gress has received none," he said. Michigan congressmen, educat- ors and industry leaders had pushed this state's bid, and a pre- sentation made in Washington by a group led by Gov. George Rom- ney was termed "excellent" by NASA officials. "However, there has been sus- picion all along that NASA would c to support Boston," Pres- ident Hatcher said. "Michigan entered its proposal while recognizing this, but felt it was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the state's capability to the federal agency. Overlooked Michigan and other Midwestern states argued that the region has been overlooked in the concentra- tion of electronics research firms on the East and West coasts. "Washington eventually must realize that the Midwest has been greatly neglected (in the award- ing) of these important missile and space contracts," President Hatcher commented. He noted, however, a report that NASA and other federal agencies are taking a "second look" at fu- ture projects that might be located in the Midwest. Hundreds of people who helped prepare the Michigan proposal to NASA will form a nucleus for further efforts to bring research contracts to the state, he added. Castro Speaks On Canal Crisis By The Associated Press MIAMI - Fidel Castro offered his support last night for Pana- ma's "demand for the annulment of the Panama Canal treaty." But he said he had nothing to do with the recent demonstrations in Pan- ama. The Cuban prime minister, re- porting to his people upon return from a trip to Russia, also offered to lead Latin American countries in offering Panama economic aid. Castro declared t h a t even though his country has no diplo- matic relations with Panama, it is ready to offer help "to the same extent that the United States gave He said the recent disorders in Panama were "not organized by Cuba," and claimed that, on the contrary, Cuba "has been careful to give the United States no rea- son to practice subterfuges against that movement." The Cuban leader spent more than one hour telling his people of the sugar deal he made with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev. He said the $3.2 billion con- tract over a six-year period was an improvement over Cuba's former deals with the United States, in which Castro accused the United snut aown weapons reactors unaer "mutual inspection." The Russians mentioned plutonium reactors. In private talks with Western delegates at the 17-nation disarm- ament conference, Soviet nego- tiator Semyon K. Tsarapkin also has said he is willing to discuss a possible limitation of military budgets by mutual agreement. Such an agreement was not specifically referred to in John- son's five-point plan released this week. But American officials were interested in the idea. Tsarapkin told the conference earlier this week that the recent cut in the United States defense budget created a favorable atmosphere for resumed disarmament nego- tiations. Tsarapkin and other Soviet bloc delegates have raised objections or unacceptable conditions to most of the other proposals put forward by Johnson, such as a verified freeze of the production and im- provement of vehicles to deliver nuclear warheads. Tsarapkin's first formal com- ment on the plan is expected to be delivered in a conference ses- sion Tuesday. He told newsmen he intended to ask the United States for a more detailed explan- ation of Johnson's various pro- posals. U.S. Advises Nationalists Against French Bfreak WASHINGTON (A') - The United States strongly advised Nation- alist China yesterday to avoid a quick break in relations with France when President Charles de Gaulle recognizes the Chinese Communist regime next week.

Outlining the basic principles behind the new proposals, Dob- rosielski declined to spell out de- tails, declaring his country "is prepared to formally submit this proposal at an appropriate time and place in a concretely worked out form." The proposals will be "much more modest in scope and simpler in implementation" than the Western-rejected Rapacki plan for a detente in Central Europe in- cluding a nuclear-free zone, he said. The Polish offical noted that the new proposals will probably be a modification and simplification of the first stage of the Rapacki plan which includ ed the freezing of nuclear weapons and rockets and prohibition of new bases in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East and West Germany. The plan will also include "the most effective and easiest to im- plement" inspection system. "In our proposals we have always sup- ported a most effective control system," he declared. Dobrosielski saw the plan as a key for peace in Central Europe. Had a nuclear-free zone been set up in Central Europe soon after it had been proposed, the situation in this region would have been radically changed by now.
