By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON--Indiana, Ohio and Oklahoma topped the list of
statewide primaries across the nation yesterday, and their results
were hardly surprising.
In the Hoosier State, Democrat Gov. Matthew Welsh topped
Alabama Gov. Georg Wallace by a 2-1 margin for the state's Demo-
crat convention votes. Vote totals at 1 a.m. this morning gave Welsh

Ramsey Cites
GOP Cross
The showing for Alabama Gov.
George Wallace in the Indiana
presidential primary yesterday
was caused by a 10 per cent shift
in voters from the Republican
side to the Democrat side, Andrew
Ramsey, chairman of the Indiana
State Conference of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People indicated last
night.
M a n y Republicans, thinking
that Goldwater would win any-
way, switched their votes to show
their disfavor of the administra-
tion, he added.
Ramsey said that if Goldwater
did not have the voter strength
he did, Wallace would have done
even better.
But he noted that one impor-
tant reason Wallace did not gain
more than 30 per cent of the votes
was that he was strongly opposed
by "religious and responsible
leaders of the state."
The Polish American voters in
Lake County were "peeved with
the discrimination in the Demo-
crat administration" and this
would have given added votes to
Wallace, he concluded.
with about three-fourths of the
state's 4416 precincts reported.
Also in Indiana, Sen. Barry
Goldwater of Arizona slid to an
easy victory for the GOP presi-
dential votes over former Min-
nesota Gov. Harold Stassen. At
1 a.m., Goldwater showed 199,107
votes to Stassen's 77,324.
In Ohio, Rep. Robert Taft, Jr.,
swamped his opposition to win the
GOP senatorial nomination. At 1
a.m. totals stood at 222,386 for
Taft and 68,251 for his opponent
Secretary of State Ted W. Brown.
In the Democrat race, incumbent
Sen. Stephen M. Young polled
163,667 to 76,625 for astronaut
John Glenn and about 20,000 votes
scattered.
In Oklahoma, with three-fourths
of the state counted, former Okla-
homa University football coach
Bud Wilkenson was winning the
GOP senatorial nomination in a
landslide. At 1 a.m. EST, he had
75,962 votes, to a combined 20,000
for his opposition.
In the Democrat Senate race, in-
cumbent Sen. J. Harold Edmund-
son appeared to have won over
two strong challengers: Edmund-
son: 154,864; State Sen. Fred Har-
ris, 140,323; and former Gov. Ray-
mond Gary 138,852.
On the right to work question, it
is still close, with 284,563 favoring
passage of the act and 292,599'
against.
Time
LANSING (AP) - Having fallen "
one vote short of passage in the
climax to a wild, marathon leg-
islative session, House plans for
redistricting awaited new biparti-
san talks today.
House Republican l e a d e r s,
meanwhile, were discussing the
possibility of nominating candi-
dates for the Legislature - and
possibly for Congress - at party
conventions.
Speaker of the House Allison
Green (R-Kingston) raised this as
one possible alternative after a
scheme for postponing the Aug. 4
primary-the key to a delicately-
balanced series of maneuvers -
failed to come to a vote in the
Senate.
No Reason
"I see no reason now to try to
change the primary date," Green
said.
"There is the possibility that
we could nominate our candidates
at the conventions and simply for-
get about the primary as far as
they are concerned."
Green indicated there will be
no rush to revive the redistricting
plan. It failed to pass on a 55-25
vote at 2:05 a.m. yesterday, bring-
ing an end to the hectic session.
No Rush
"We can put it over for a week
if we have to," said the speaker.
"There's no rush now, with the
primary postponement apparent-
ly out of the question."
The districting bill was defeat-
ed in the climax to the wildest
day of the entire 1964 session in
the House.
Democrats staged a midnight
walkout in the House after stalling
out the clock to help destroy GOP
hopes for a final adjournment at
noon yesterday. Republicans had
passed a resolution for that pur-
pose to the Senate, where Demo-
crats killed it.
Runs Out
4
The districting plan, written by
a 14-member bipartisan negotiat-
ing committee, was designed to
give both parties an even break in
an election. Each would have 52
"safe" districts and the other six
"swing" districts that could go
either way.
Its passage had been predicted
by backers in both parties. But
it lost chiefly for lack of Demo-
crat support in the showdown vote.
Following a series of caucuses,
first by one party and then by
the other, House Republicans
brought the redistricting plan to
debate.
No Cooperation
But Democrats used the device
of requiring all amendments to
be read in full to carry out the
same strategy that their com-
rades employed in the Senate.
The minutes on the clock tick-
ed off while the clerk droned
through the long description of
the 110 districts in the plan.
At midnight, the House adjourn-
ed and then reconvened at 12:01
a.m. to continue its consideration
of legislation. But Democrats, led
by House Minority Leader Joseph
J. Kowalski (D-Detroit), staged
their walkout.
No Support
A total of 24 of the 52 House
Democrats left. But, with a "call
of the House" in effect, a handful
drifted back to remain on hand
until the chamber recessed at 2:15
a.m.
The Republicans now must win
Democrat support to give imme-
diate effect to a bill changing the
primary election date. That takes
a two-thirds vote in both the Sen-
ate and the House.
Otherwise the new law would
take effect 90 days after final
adjournment of the Legislature.
No Time
Without immediate effect, a bill
shifting the primary to Septemb
now would take effect after Au
4, the date the law now sets f
the primary.
Democrat strategists indicati
they would be willing to supp
votes needed for immediate effec
But they made it plain they wou
expect something in return.
First of all they demanded a
surance that the Massachuset
ballot bill would never get
Romney's desk.

MASS RESIGNATION?
Staff Split over, Dismissal
By KENNETH WINTER
Acting Managing Editor
The Oakland Observer's student
staff was reported split yesterday
following the dismissal of the pa-
per's editor on Monday.
Acting Editor William Con-
nellan reported last night that
three other Observer staff mem-
bers have resigned in protest
against the dismissal of Wolfe
Metzger from his post as editor.
Metzger had called for a mass
resignation after Oakland Univer-
sity Chancellor Durward B. Var-
ner fired him during a controversy
over a survey of coeds' sexual ac-
tivities.
A meeting organized to protest
Varner's action drew some 80 stu-
dents. Diane Smith, organizer of
the session, said no course of
action was set but a straw vote
indicated "only five sided with the
university's action."
Feikens Outlines Objectives
Of Civil Rights Commission
By BRUCE BIGELOW
The predominant objective of the state Civil Rights Commission
at present is the abolition of all forms of discrimination within the
state, according to its commissioner John Feikens, former district
judge and GOP state chairman
In an address last night at St. Francis of Assissi Roman Catholic
Church, Feikens said "our greatest challenge lies before us today. We
must, as a commission, attempt to insert our initiative in all the
broad areas of discrimination."
Feikens particularly stressed the commission's role as a pioneer
in social change. He emphasized that only by using the initiative power
q.. can the commission really open
up the doors to equal opportunity.
Housing Complaints
'At present," he continued, "the
.commission is mostly concerned
with complaints concerning dis-
crimination in multiple-housing
units. But it will become increas-
ingly concerned with all com-
. } plaints submitted, especially those
concerning alleged discrimination
.. in single-room accommodations."
Feikens pointed to his belief
t h a t the present commission'
structure is very competent to
meet such considerations. "It
seems to me that our greatest
strength lies' in the bi-partisan
:r<:;{ h;:. .......:: character of our commission. It is
a great advantage to feel that
JOHN FEIKENS suchrsocial problems as discrim-
ination are being dealt with by an organization which is not biased
along party lines."
He explained that the state Civil Rights Commission was created
by the new constitution. Appointments are made by the governor and
are equally distributed along party lines. Four Democrats and four
Republicans sit at all times on the commission.
Separate Entity
He further stressed the importance of the commission's separa-
tion from the legislative branch of government. "The commission is
entirely a constitutional body, and therefore we have the advantage
of formulating our own policy decisions."
She added that there were rum-
ors that Varner had dismissed two
Observer faculty advisors from
their posts on the publications
committee.
The incident may lead to the
first full investigation of a stu-
dent-press-freedom controversy by
the United States Student Press
Association. Daily National Con-
cerns Editor Philip Sutin, '64, and
Joel Sharkey, national affairs vice-
president of the United States
National Student Association, will
conduct a preliminary investiga-
tion Friday. Sutin is a member of
the USSPA committee which would
launch a full inquiry-if one is
undertaken.
If a full-fledged investigation is
launched, it could lead to censure
action by the USSPA convention
this summer.
Interim Editor
Connellan was named interim
editor by a special faculty com-
mittee set up by Varner to study
the paper's organization. Connel-
lan said one of the dilemmas in
the current crisis has been the
lack of any established procedure
for considering dismissals of the
student staff's members.
Connellan asserted that he
"sides with the university" for two
reasons:
The survey which sparked the
controversy "was ridiculous. It was
poorly conducted and was answer-
ed in jest by a lot of students."
As a paper subsidized by Oak-
land, the Observer and its editors
"have a responsibility which goes
with this freedom."
Upcoming Story
Metzger had agreed not to print
the survey results, but instead
wrote a story telling of Varner's
threat to expel him if the survey
were printed. Learning of the
forthcoming story charging him
with censorship, Varner had that
issue of the Observer destroyed
and fired Metzger.
Another Observer staff member,
who had resigned when Metzger
was appointed editor, was more
emphatic in his denunciation of
the fired editor. "In the 18 months
I'd worked with him I had seen
repeated instances of his irrespon-
sibility which had gone entirely
unchecked," senior Daniel Polsby
declared.
Sex Survey
He said that the dismissed edi-
tor had admitted privately that
his sex survey "had no signifi-
can " M"tzsre nranned in write a
U.S., EEC
Set Basis
For Talks
GENEVA (R)-The United States
and the European Common Mar-
ket agreed late last night to make
a 50 per cent across-the-board
tariff cut the working basis of
the Kennedy round talks on free-
ing world trade.
The decision came at the end of
a long day of backstage argument
between officials of the two giants
of world trade.
They also agreed to set Sept. 10
as the deadline for submitting a
list of items to be considered as
exceptions to the general nego-
tiating plan. The submission of
these lists will mark the begin-
ning of down-to-earth bargaining
on tariff cuts.
Britain went along with last
night's agreement, which is vir-
tually certain to be approved later
today at a plenary session of the
general agreement on tariffs and
trade.
In the American view-accepted
by the Common Market-the final
agreement must include agricul-
tural products as well as indus-
trial goods. Agricultural trade is
not likely to be seriously discuss-
ed in detail for over a year.
The main negotiators of the
compromise were W. Michael Blu-
menthal of the United States and
Robert Marjolin, vice-president of
the European Market Commission.
A high American source said
there was an understanding be-
tween the two sides that the Sept.
10 deadline for submission of ex-
ception lists might be subject to
review if no progress is made in
the meantime on other details of
the negotiating methods.
The Americans at first wanted
this reservation written into the
text of the negotiators' report but
finally agreed to leave it as an
unwritten understanding.
American officials said in any
event no country is formally com-
mitted to any action until the fin-
al wrapup of the tariff cutting
agreement is signed-possibly not
before 1966.
The Common Market agreed to
remove a special reference to the
particular relationship between it-
self and former colonies in Af-
rica of Common Market members.
The Americans are generally op-
posed to all special preference
arrangements and consider this
reference in the progress reports
undesirable.

Generation, the inter-arts magazine, has finally changed its
masthead inscription, but not the diversity of art that it has pre-
sented in its three previous issues.
Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, the contents of the 60-page
magazine move from the humorous cover photo of a 1900 Daily staff
to the sharp, sensitive portraits of Robert Frost. The quote from
'Amogos,' a Greek poem by Nikos Gatsos, speaks of the "multitudin-
ous tokens' man bequeaths to his descendants. 'Tokens' in this issue
include three well-crafted short stories, a hard-hitting essay in re-
buttal of Frithjof Bergmann, and a wide selection of poetry from the
last fifteen years of Generation.
