THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE' TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THIIEE Khrushch ev Orders Space Cooperation U.S., Russia Hit Impasse Over Issues I GENEVA tom)-The Soviet Union and the United States appeared last night to have arrived at an impasse on the major cold war is- sues of nuclear testing, general disarmament and Berlin. Informants reported that after 11 days of diplomatic talks the two powers have failed even to agree on approaches to these three topics. The deadlock appeared so com- plete diplomats at the 17-nation disarmament conference assumed a climax was nearing. In their technology the two nations "are approaching the crunch"--the mo- ment when pressures require one or both to modify positions. Kennedy said yesterday, "I am not prepared to abandon" 'East- West talks at Geneva even though conflict persists over nuclear test inspections and threats to peace continue. Against a background of dis- agreement on nuclear testing and general disarmament, the leaders of the United States, British and Canadian delegations arranged to be present in Geneva next week. It had been reported earlier that they had planned returning to their home capitals over the week- end. A flurry of activity developed in the Soviet camp. Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko asked Communist East Germany's foreign minister, Loth- ar Bolz, to join him in Geneva. SPACE COOPERATION-Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev (right) yesterday replied to President John F.

The new effort to settle the strike is scheduled for 10 a.m. today after Undersecretary of Labor Willard Wirtz telegraphed that the "in- creasingly serious" impact of the strike has hurt the west coast bus- iness economy and the "state of Hawaii is being seriously endan- gered." A freighter, Hawaiian Refiner, loaded with perishables and mil- itary supplies, circled aimlessly outside Honolulu harbor for the second day. Her container berth was occupied by a strike-bound sister ship. NEW YORK-The stock market slipped lower yesterday. Trading became active toward the close.

Plan Hinges On Outcome At Geneva Parley Set for UN Experts To Confer MOSCOW (oA)-Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev yesterday ordered the first steps toward cooperation with the United States on half a dozen possible space projects. He told President John F. Ken- nedy, however, that the Soviet Union and United States will have to agree on disarmament before they can go far on a joint path to the planets. "You, Mr. President, know as well as we do that the principles of designing and productin are the same for both military and space ships," Khrushchev said in a letter to Kennedy, Efforts To Pool Khrushchev was replying to Kennedy's message of March 7 ,proposing a pooling of efforts in space research and even joint ex- ploration of the moon and planets. He said the time is ripe and cooperation is required on such projects as weather forecasting and long-range communications by means of earth satellites, track- ing of space probes, mapping of the earth's magnetic field, space law and medicine, and the orga- nization of space search and res- cue for astronauts in accidental landings. Would Take Part Soviet delegate Platon D. Moro- zov had told a 28-nation space committee at the United Nations earlier that the Russians would take part in setting up an inter- national communications project. He urged work on a search and rescue project. Khrushchev's list closely paral- leled proposals by Kennedy in re- sponse to a general suggestion from Khrushchev Feb. 21 that the two nations pool their space ef- forts. The Khrushchev suggestion was made in a message of con- gratulations on thethree-orbit flight of Lt. Col. John H. Glenn Jr. Weather Observations Kennedy particularly cited the launching of Soviet and American satellites for weather observations and experiments in communica- tions, magnetic field mapping, tracking stations and a pooling of knowledge and efforts on research in space medicine. Looking ahead to possible co- operative exploration of the lunar surface and the planets, Mars or Venus, Kennedy said: "The tasks are so challenging, the costs so great, and the risks to the brave men who engage in space exploration so grave that we must in all good conscience try every possibility of sharing these tasks and costs and of minimizing these risks." Deeply Gratified "I am gratified that this reply indicates that there are a number of areas of common interest . . the United States is deeply com- mitted to making all possible ef- forts to carry forward the explora- tion and use of space in a spirit of cooperation," Kennedy at his press conference said. Soviet and U.S. experts on >uter space met privately to talk about how their two countries might work together in that field in New York City last night. Expansion of NMC Explored by Board TRAVERSE CITY (P) - The feasibility of expanding North- western Michigan College into a four-year, degree-granting institu- tion was under study yesterday by the school's board of directors. NMC opened in 1951 as a.two- year community college with ap- proximately 65 students. Its total enrollment last fall was 803. Board of trustee spokesmen say they found much public support for the expansion proposal. The. board met recently with Algo Henderson, professor of higher education at the University, who commended their plans. College officials indicate they plan to meet in the next few months with other educational ex- perts to continue exploration of facets involved in the proposed ex- pansion. Peronis ts Pose Peril To Frondizi, BUENOS AIRES () - Powerful pro-Peron labor unions called yes- terday for a general 24-hour strike' of two million workers, posing a new peril to ,President Arturo Frondizi's shaky regime. Leaders of 62 Peronist unions throughout the country set the strike for tomorrow. They warned they would extend it indefinitely unless Frondizi rescinds his degree nullifying election victories of pro- Peron candidates in last Sunday's elections for governors and half of congress. Number of Workers The number of workers joining the strike could reach three mil- lion of the big Confederation of Labor joined with the unions sup- porting exiled dictator Juan D. Peron. Earlier in the day, Frondizi ap- peared to have weathered his worst of many crises by agreeing to a military-civilian coalition in his cabinet and banning all activi- ties of Peronists. The military leaders had threat- ened Frondizi's leadership after Peronists swept 10 provincial gov- ernorships and upset the Frondizi majority in congress in the elec- tions. But there were fears the general strike would lead to violence and that young militarists may move to remove Frondizi once and for all. These military men are more rabid in their hatred of Peron than their older colleagues. Only Solution They were reported insisting that Frondizi's resignation was the only solution to the crisis. There was a growing feeling at the air ministry that mounting pressures from the younger mili- tary officers could set off an ex- plosive crisis. One informant there said the young anti-Peron forces would de- mand the seats in the cabinet that the military will share with civil- ians under the agreement reach- ed between Frondizi and military leaders in an all-night meeting. This, the informant said, would give them a strong position in dealing with the president. Post-Election 'Shenanigans Incense Peron MADRID iP)-Aides and close associates of the exiled Argentine ex-dictator Juon D. Peron said last night he was deeply incensed at what they called post-election "shenanigans" from the United States in Argentine affairs. They said he felt that high Pen- tagon officials in Washington had been in communication with mili- tary leaders in Argentina following the Peronista victories at the polls last Sunday. WASHINGTON (M)-The House Armed Services Committee called off its fight yesterday for a man- datory step-up in the RS-70 bomb- er program after receiving assur- ances from President John F. Ken- nedy the plane's future will be restudied. Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga) announced the settlement as de- bate was beginning on legislation which would have directed the De- fense Department to spend, $320 million more than the $171 million it requested on developing the 2,- 000-mile-an-hour aircraft. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara has contended the added expenditure would be waste- ful at this time. More Students To Take Out National Loans WASHINGTON ()-Almost $71 million was borrowed by 151,115 college students under the Na- tional Defense Student Loan Pro- gram during the 1960-61 academic year. Of the total, more than one- third were women and 69,552 bor- rowers planned to teach. The average loan was $470, com- pared with $438 in 1959-60, the, first full year of the program. The average during the current aca- demic year is expected to rise to about $500 with about 190,000 stu- dents borrowing $95 million. Releases Statistics These statistics have been made public by Secretary of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff. Ribicoff praised the program as an invaluable aid for students with some money but not enough for all college expenses. But he said it doesn't go far enough and that federal scholar- ship aid is needed. Under the loan program the participating colleges and univer- sities have to put up $1 for every $9 they receive from the federal government. In 1960-61, colleges and universities participating to- taled 1,410-886 private and 524 public. Begin Repayment Borrowers are required to begin repayment one year after they complete their college work but may stretch the payments over a 10-year period at 3 per cent in- terest. Cancellation of up to 50 per cent of a loan is authorized if a borrower teaches in public schools for five years. From the time the program was started in February, 1959, up through last academic year, 238,- 092 students had borrowed $130.6 million. Ribicoff noted that $1.95 million that-had been repaid up to June 30, 1961, by 12,785 student bor- rowers and he said this is about eight times the amount actually due. RS70 BOMBER: House Abandons Step-Up TENSION BUILDS : IsraeliSyrian Planes Engage in Aerial Battle JERUSALEM (P)-Jet fighters skirmished yesterday in a re- newal of hostilities between Israel and Syria that have built up ten- sion steadily for two weeks. A Syrian military spokesman said one Israeli fighter was hit in a clash over Syria headed home and crashed in flames. A second plane was hit, he added. He said four Israeli jets were intercepted by Syrian planes. From the rival capitals came conflicting charges of responsibility for the aerial violation of cease-fire orders first proclaimed to end the Palestine war of 1948. Each nation accused the other of penetrating its air space. An Israeli spokesman in Jerusalem said Syrian planes crossed the frontier for the second day in a row, but were driven off by Israeli fliers. TON IGHT THRU SATURDAY 8:00 P.M. Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre Graham Greene's "TH LIVING RO OM"t BOX OFFICE OPEN 10-8 DAILY - UNIVERSITY PLAYERS Vinson told the House he had received a letter from Kennedy promising the "personal, full sup- port of the President" for a new study of the RS-70 to be made by McNamara. He also read a let- ter from McNamara promising to make the study. Vinson said he was therefore dropping "the kind of fight that nobody wins" by substituting the word"authorizing"'for'"directing" in the legislation. Kennedy spe- cifically asked this change, saying it would be more in keeping with the Constitution. The House later passed the bill. 403-0dand sent it-to the Senate. Including the RS-70 funds the measure authorizes expenditure of $13 billion for military ships, mis- siles and aircraft. Vinson's action headed off an impending major battle between the legislative and executive branches of government. There was some feeling Vinson could have won House approval for his unusual mandate to the executive branch but there was also con- cern even among Vinson's support- ers over such a split in the gov- ernment on a national defense is- sue. Vinson had been under heavy pressure to change his stand. Also involved was fear for the future of the manned bomberas more advanced missiles are de- veloped. There are staunch de- fenders of each, both in Congress and the military services. The R870 matter, wanted by the Air Force as a reconnaissance- strike plane to roam over enemy territory after a missile attack, is the focal point of the dispute. It is a revised version of the B70 Vinson viewed his modification of the RS70 legislation as a vic- tory, not a surrender. 0 He said Congress had won the first step toward getting the new bomber, adding: "We caused the (Defense) Department to see the error of its ways."
