Argentine Army Seizes Command Troops Control Government House: Forces To Decide on Ruling Junta BUENOS AIRES (P)-Argentine armed forces seized the seat of government last night in a showdown with President Arturo Frondiz and early today a presidential aide declared "all is over." It was an apparent admission that the four-year-old Frondiz regime, after rebuffing military pressures for 11 tense days, was finally conceding defeat. Combat troops armed with machine guns maintained control of government house. Frondizi, who hours before had rejected the military chiefs' personally delivered ultimatum to resign, remained at his suburban residence outside of the capital. The rebelliou military chiefs were reported conferring on the makeup of. a new Oruling government junta and only f ;1 .1 S Y Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom Iait i , I VOLI. LXXHI, No, 12~9 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1962 SEVEN GENTS SIXTEEN SEVEN CENTS Announce Sigma Nu Reeivrhi GOP Senator To Attempt Tax Action LANSING (P) - Notice was served on the state senate yester- day that a move will be made to force action on all tax bills. Sen. Haskell L. Nichols (R-Jack- son) announced he would make a motion Monday night to discharge the Taxation Committee from consideration of all tax bills. This would bring the tax meas- ures, including Gov. John B Swainson's tax package built around a state income tax pro- 'posal, out on the floor for debate Nichols also said he would move for consideration on the package of excise taxes-the so-called nui- sance taxes-now tabled in the senate. Sen. Clyde I. Geerlings (R- Holland) Taxation Committee chairman, termed the proposal "plain silly." "There are not enough votes to pass an income tax. I don't think there are enough to pass the excise taxes now. If you put them all up for vote now, you'll make darned fools out of yourselves. Count your votes first," Geerlings advised. The sales tax has not produced enough money 'and more revenue is needed, Nichols said. "The legislature should enact both a temporary and long range tax program," Nichols said. "We need both the nuisance taxes and an Income tax." At the same time, he said, the business activities tax and the intangibles tax should be repealed. "I think its time to do something positive," agreed Sen. Charles H. Blody (D-Detroit). "I think the people want action and now is the time for us to produce." A group of House-approved bills were ,sent to the governor for signing. One specifies employers must, give women the same pay as men when they do equal or similar work. Housing Plans Not To Include Federal Money University officials indicated yesterday that there are currently no plans for making use of the federal money available for affil- iate or cooperative housing. The question arose because the University of Florida has just an- nounced that it will be taking out loans from the Community Facili- ties Administration of the ous- ing and Home Finance Agency. The loans will be used for the con- struction of housing units for four fraternities and one sorority on the Florida campus. John McKevitt, assistant to the vice-president in charge of busi-- ness and finance, notes that the first condition for attaining such loans from the government is that the "actual construction program becomes the University's rather than the fraternity's. The govern- ment loans the money to us and we then are financially responsi- ble for a house until, the loan is paid off." Assistant Dean of Men for Fra- ternities Lou Rice notes that this situation leads to "considerable control" on the part of the Uni- versity. "The fraternity house construct- ed under such terms is no longer private property. Instead of being owned by its national it is owned by the University. In return, the University can regulate a house as much as it wants to," he said. On the other hand, Luther Buchele, executive secretary of the Inter-Cooperative Council, says that the co-ops "would be very interested in receiving government loans to replace existing facilities under the right conditions." Buchele says that if the Univer- sity did not insist on exerting too much control, the co-ops would use the money for expansion pur- poses. Portugal Yields T" .fvv ..n Tr ,,a... this last detail appeared to be delaying an d'etat. unconfirmed coup Army and navy units were i control of all major strategic 'cen- ters throughout the nation. Frondizi was left unharmed a his residence but surveillance was maintained outside the walls of the house. s As the president and the nation waited for the next move in the long crises, Raul Garcion, Fron- dizi's personal aide, told news- men: The situation is at an end. The armed forces are in agreement with each other. All is over." Defiant to End Defiant to the end, Frondizi re- * portedly refused to bow to the threat of a military coup and turn- ed away the ultimatum delivered - at his office by Argentina's top military chiefs. The apparent end of Frondizi's regime without bloodshed came ten days after landslide election victories by followers of exiled ex- dictator Juan D. Perons, who were backed by Communists and Cas- troites. The takeover put the military back in the saddle after four years of civil rule. The armed forces had ousted Peron in 1955, then stood aside for the return of constitu- tional government three years later. The tough and resourceful Fron- dizi, survivor of 35 past coups, had tried desperately to ride this one out as well. But nothing would satisfy the Peron-hating brass and braid except Frondizi's ouster. Frondizi offered a series of con- cessions to the military in the wake of the March 19. elections. Rightist Army os Revenge On Moslems ALGIERS WP)-The rightist Se- cret Army vowed vengeance yes- terday against Moslem soldiers of the French Army who fired on a crowd of European demonstrators Monday. In all, 53 persons perished. As as uneasy quiet descended over the rebellious city, the Secret Ar- my distributed tracts in French and Arabic assailing the Moslem soldiers and warning: "All our armed operations henceforth will be acts of justice .. . Nothing and no one will stop us." Last night French authorities said the 50,000 residents of the European rightist stronghold of Bab-el-Oued will be free to leave their homes today for the first time in six days. The residents, many of them followers of the Secret Army Or- ganization, have been virtually im- prisoned in their homes since a battle in Bab-el-Oued last Friday between French forces and Secret Army commandos. The encirclement of the suburb and total curfew enforced since Friday will be lifted after comple- tion of a search of all homes, French police said. The total curfew had been re- laxed only for women for two hours every morning to allow them to do the family shopping. No oth- er civilians were permitted in the streets. Only military vehicles, ambu- lances and trucks carrying food have been allowed to cross the steel ring kept around Bab-el- Oued by 20,000 troops supported by tanks and armored cars. MEDEA '62: Letter Cites SScholastics, 1 Poor Morale Receiver Asks SGC Not To Set Deadline By H. NEIL BERKSON and GERALD STORCH The Sigma Nu national has placed its University chapter in receivership, thus withdrawing all authority for the local to handle its own affairs. This action was announced last night in a letter to Student Gov- ernment Council from the Receiv- ing Board chairman, Dr. Sidney M. Smock, who asked that SGC not set a time limit for the elimina- tion of Sigma Nu's bias clause. Smock emphasized, however, that the chapter's inability to com- ply with Regents Bylaw 2.14 "is only a small part" of the nation- al's investigation of the local's problems. Cites Reasons Other reasons he cited for the receivership action, which took effect March 20, were scholastic troubles, local finances, poor mor- I ale and a lowered reputation on campus. Smock, who presumably will be the chapter's representative at the SGC meeting set next week to hear the compliance case, indi- cated that this matter would be handled strictly atthe local level. "Gamma Nu chapter has done all that the University Regulations and regulations of SGC havere- quired and requested and is pres- ently continuing to pursue compli- ance with these regulations," Smock said. Southern Chapters "When a national fraternity such as Sigma Nu is strongly em- bedded in the South, this is neith- er an easy nor rapid process." He asked SOC to give the chap- ter more time so that it can "bring the current crisis with which we have been confronted" to the floor of the national convention in Au- gust. He said that 900 chapter alumni are organizing to get rid of the clause and may be able to do so, "if we are but given the time." Smock noted that in 1950 the local chapter was responsible for leading a fight against ,the bias clause at its national convention. Every year since then the local has voted, in chapter meetings, recommending removal of the clause, and did so unanimously last month, he said. High Command "Sigma Nu's High Command, in exercising waiver authority, con- siders only those applications which arise out of an official Uni- versity or college regulation es- tablished or confirmed by the President or Board of Regents, applying equally to all student organizations and setting a specif- ic calendar date for compliance by all," Smock continued. He said he is "not certain as to whether Sigma Nu national is aware of the actual weight of SGC rulings on membership," and that the chapter probably could not get a waiver if an SGC ruling applied only to the one house. According to the receivership plan, the board will "take sole management of the chapter," by authority of the national's execu- tive secretary. This "unlimited exercise of, authority" will last until both the Receivership Board and "institu- tional authorities" feel the chapter] can be put back under student: control. * * * Faculty Gives( Senate Committe * * * * *C * )SA Report View.4 Seek Deal To Obtain UN Bonds WASHINGTON (g)-The Ken- nedy Administration began search- ing yesterday for a compromise that would avoid a bitter Senate fight over the proposed purchase of $100 million in United Nations bonds. Informal discussions are already underway among- Senate Demo- cratic leaders, White House aides and Republican sponsors of a sub- stitute proposal. Debate on UN financing legisla- tion has been put off until Mon- day. The controversy revolves around a foreign relations committee-ap- proved bill authorizing Kennedy to purchase outright $25 million of the bonds and match purchases by other nations up to a $100 mil- lion total. The UN is issuing $200 million in bonds to relieve a crisis caused by failure of Communist bloc and other nations to pay assessments for peacekeeping operations in the Congo and Middle East. Republicans, led by Sens. George D. Aiken (R-Vt), and Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), have pro- posed the United States lend the UN $100 million, repayable in three years, at the same interest this government pays. The UN bonds would carry only two per cent interest and be re- payable annually over a 25-year period. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D- Minn), Assistant Senate Majority Leader, confirmed discussions are underway. Aiken decline comment. So did Sen. John Sparkman (D-Ala) the committee bill's floor manager. Asks Inquiry In Hours Plan Expressing its disapproval of the concept of women's hours, Stu- dent Government Council yester- day ordered its Committee on Stu- dent Activities to investigate the abolition of womens hours on week-ends.. The mandate was an amendment to Council's approval of 12 late permission nights during the next academic year. It was a substitute by Robert Ross, '63, to one by Howard Abrams, '63, which asked for an investigation of the possi- bility of more late permissions. "I see no sound reason to incar- cerate women in their dormitories because of their sex," Ross de- clared. Ross said the committee could explore the rationale for women's hours, the channels by which they are set, and the means for Coun- cil action against them. -Daily-Jerome Starr COUNCIL ELECTION-Student Government Council last night elected Steven Stockmeyer, lower right, president for the coming semester. Richard G'sel, .lower left, was elected executive vice- president, Kenneth Miller, upper left, administrative vice-president, and Thomas Brown, treasurer. StockmeyerTo HeadCounce By PHILIP SUTINv Steven Stockmeyer, '63, was elected Student Government Coun- cil president last night succeeding Richard Nohl, '62 BAd. Stockmeyer defeated outgoing Administrative Vice - President Robert Ross, '63, in a secret ballot vote. Richard G'sell, '63E, defeated Kenneth Miller, '64, for the post of executive vice-president. Miller was then acclaimed administrative vice-president as there were no other nominations. Thomas Brown, '63BAd, defeated Howard Abrams, '63, for the treasurer's post. "The Council faces two great challenges-the Sigma Nu hear- ings and the follow-up to Council recommendations on Reed Com- inittee report," Stockmeyer de- clared. To Hold Hearings The Council will hold hearings on the case at its next meeting under already established pro- cedures. Stockmeyer indicated that he plans to start communicating with other segments of the University, community to explain the benefits of the Council recommendation. "I have already and will con- tinue to talk with Regents about the Council proposals and plan to talk to Vice-President for Stu- deht Affairs James A. Lewis about SGC and the report," he explain- ed. In a speech replying to the nomination speech of Union presi- dent Robert Finke, '63, Stockmey- er expressed his optimism about the Council future. "The Council has survived be- cause of its flexibility, its open- ness to change. As president I U.S., Soviets Unite on Plan UNITED NATIONS ()- The United States and the Soviet Union agreed yesterday on a fu- ture course of action for the United Nations Committee on peaceful uses of outer space. The agreement came in private talks between the heads of the United States and Soviet delega- tions as space experts from the two countries held the second in a series of daily meetings to work out the basis for cooperation on space projects. Informed diplomats said that it was agreed that the United Na- tions committee should not oper- ate space projects of its own but coordinate those of other agencies'. hope to provide the sort of leader- ship needed by a changing or- ganization," he said. Specifically he recommended in- creased dynamism in the executive committee, a clarification of the committee structure, the possible appointment of a personnel direc- tor, and a clarification of Council relations with Joint Judic as steps toward improving Council opera- tion. Low Prestige However, Stockmeyer warned, "the low Council prestige, which is our own fault, could bring the death of Council." He suggested the creation of a speakers bureau, the broadcasting of president's reports over WrN, and a Council newsletter as three ways of ex- plaining Council actions to the campus. Hamilton Hits Aid Complaints Of Legislature WASHINGTON (m)-Foreign aid chief Fowler Hamilton took issue yesterday with congressional com- plaints that the aid program has an oversized backlog of upspent money. Hamilton said that in some cases the backlog would increase fur- ther, but the spending delay would be "not out of line with what any prudent American business does." The head of the Agency for In- ternational Development (AID) gave this reply during a National; Press Club luncheon speech when told that Rep. Otto Passman (D- La), chairman of the House ap- propriations subcommittee han- dling foreign aid funds, had pro- tested that AID already had near- ly $10 billion in unspent' appro- priations. President John F. Ken- nedy had asked for nearly $5 bil- lion more for the coming year. Fiscal Year Hamilton said Passman's fig- ure was for the start of the cur- rent fiscal year just after Con- gress had appropriated a fresh $5 billion. The fiscal year started July 1. Putting aside that $5 billion. Hamilton said, the remaining $4 billion-plus backlog could be ac- counted for this way: About $2.5 billion has been set aside for purchase of :military aid items which take a long time to produce. Earmarking Some $1.4 billion has been ear- marked for development loans which take a long time to arrange. Hamilton said the development lna fsfe "wilm rmil,, - av Action Taken In Meeting With Comncil Felhein, Lehnann Discuss Problems In Public Session By MICHAEL OLINICK Finding fault with the style a well as substance of the documeni the University Senate's Studen Relations Committee last night re leased its comments on the Offi of Student Affairs Study Commit tee report to Student Governmen Council. Meeting with the Council l public session, the SRC discusse its two-page report as well a SGC's 12-page response to th OSA study. Both reports aske similar structural revisions of th OSA. Prof. Marvin Felheim of th English department, chairman o the faculty committee, said thi was the first time the report ha' been released. The SRC, which i responsible to the Senate Advisor Committee, acts as an, advisor t Vice-President for Student Affair James A. Lewis and gave its oam ments on the OSA study to him oi March 7. "Lewis reported that the corn mittee asked him not to publciz our report after we presented it t him. We never asked him to d that, and we since saw no reasoi for withholding the report, w gave it to SGC," Prof. Felhein said. Ambiguous Laguage The SRC-whose original repor last spring touched offg the OS study-found the language of th study committee's report "of te confusing or ambiguous" and asked for a revised structure wit] five functional agencies reportini directly to a vice-president fo student affairs. The SRC also called for an "in dependent, outside appraisal" a the technical aspects of organiza tional structures in the OSA ani asked that advisory and appellat structures be kept "outside an independent" of the OSA The faculty group-which calle for major personnel and structure changes in the OSA last May- urged a code by which administra tive personnel would be appointed It also recommended that "oppor tunities for inter-cultural an inter-racial exchange should b guaranteed, paticularly in th residence units." Denies Restraint During the Council discussior Howard Abrahms, '63, pointed ou that Lewis had said that the SR( urged him not to release its com ments on the OSA study. Answer ing Abrahms' query, "Why? Pro Charles.,F. Lehmann of the edu cation school said, "No. It's no true that we asked him to with hold the report." The major point of cntrovers: arising between the Council ani the SRC was over who should ha the authority to make rules gov erning student conduct outside th -classroom. SGC's report on th OSA study document asked for : joint student-faculty council whic would have the power, subject to veto by the vice-president.
