THE MICHIGAN DAILY__ U.S., Britain Seek Arms Ban 'On Nuclear Tests Secret Army Comman dos Attack Post ORAN, Algeria OP)-Secret Ar- my commandos posing as regular French Army troops, seized aban- doned sandbag posts at the edge of a Moslem neighborhood and killed 20 persons, it was estimated yesterday. Angered by the attack with sub- machine guns and grenades on men, women and children, Mos- lems in the area armed themselves with pipes, sticks and stones and murdered a European near their quarters and injured about six per- sons. They also stoned passing Eu- ropean cars. The commando unit staged at- tacks on the Moslem suburb, Cite Des Oliviers, during the night and day, unofficial sources said. Each time the-Secret Army Force, which opposes France's cease-fire with the Alg'erian Nationalists and wants to keep Algeria French, had disappeared when French troops appeared. The neighborhood has been guarded by military forces for weeks. But several days ago the guards were withdrawn.n The first attack was late Mon-. day when the streets were filled with men, women and children. The Secret Army commandos ar- rived in an army truck, two jeeps and a car. The men took up the sandbag- ged posts recently - evacuated by the guards-then opened fire. Panic-stricken Moslems fled in all directions, leaving dead and wounded behind. When the French Army arrived the commandos had disappeared again. Troops saw the Moslems carrying many victims with them as they fled. They estimated the toll for both attacks at about 20. Urge Temporary Berlin Standstill UNITED NATIONS MP)-Acting Secretary-General U Thant yes- terday urged the United States and the Soviet Union to reach tem- porary standstill agreements on Berlin and other issues in order to avoid the horror of nuclear war.

John B. Swainson to veto a bill recently adopted by the Legisla- ture which would outlaw the Com- munist party and certain other groups. The ACLU statement says that the bill "does not merit passage" on three grounds. "Legally, it is of dubious constitutional character ...socially it is a giant leap back- ward ... and-from the standpoint of propaganda, it places our critics in, a position to charge us, not without accuracy, with hypocrisy." -4 L. McClellan (left) and C. Ray- esident of Western Electric Co., missile profits before a Senate ng. eel Contests ctric Profits sile contract costs plus an extra $290,000 profit. The Senate invesigations sub- committee brought out the testi- mony at a sometimes stormy hear- ing at which the company insisted its Nike profits, equalling 13 per cent of invested capital, were reasonable. Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark), the subcommittee chairman, com- mented: "If that is reasonable ...I'm mistaken ...it seems pretty high to me." A Western Electric vice- president, C. Raymond Smith, and other officials testified the profits totalled $169 million. They said this figured out to only 3.5 cents for each dollar of sales value. This was less than many other missile makers charged, they said. McClellan asked if it wasn't true that the company had rented two buildings from the government in 1951-61 for plant facilities and then billed the Army for the en- tire cost of the rent plus a $290,000 profit on the rent. "Yes," Smith replied. Look at Plan By Neutrals For Treaty Zorin Awaits Word Of Soviet Attitude GENEVA (P)--The United States and Britain began probing yester- day to determine whether a com- promise proposal for suspension of nuclear weapons tests can be transformed into an enforceable treaty. At the 17-nation general dis- armament conference, U n i t e d States Ambassador Arthur H. Dean and British Minister of State Jo- seph B. Godber asked a series of questions concerning the proposal advanced Monday by eight middle group nations, Awaits Instructions While the two western delegates were seeking information, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin avoided getting drawn into thediscussion. Presumably he is awaiting instructions from Mos- cow before indicating the Soviet attitude to the compromise pro- posal. Dean and Godber sought to determine whether the compromise contains any enforcement teeth. They asked if it will provide more than an inspection system that can operate only with the consent of a suspected power. Speaking for the eight non- aligned countries, James Barring- ton of Burma said the questions advanced by Dean and Godber would be carefully studied. le made no attempt to answer them at once. Vague Ideas On the face of it, the com- promise plan falls short of the international inspection and con- trol arrangements demanded by Washington and London. It con- sists more of vague ideas than concrete proposals,Western sources said. While this memorandum sub- mitted by the eight cannot be accepted by the West in its pres- ent form it could be used along with other proposals in the nego- tiating for a treaty. Ruk, White Ash Berlin Discussions WASHINGTON (A )-A United States spokesman went along yes- terday with the Russian ambassa- dor's description of the first new Berlin talks as "fruitful . . . busi- nesslike." State Department press officer Lincoln White gave this backing to Soviet Ambassador Antoly F. Dob- rynin's report after Monday's one- hour meeting with Secretary of State Dean Rusk inaugurating a new round of United States-Soviet discussions on the Berlin crisis. White said further that: No New Ground 1) "No new ground was broken" at Monday's parley nor had Rusk expected to achieve this at the opener. Rather, the United States and Soviet representatives re- viewed what Rusk and Soviet For- eign Minister Andrei Gromyko had discussed on Berlin during their Geneva meetings last month. 2) Much of Monday's session was devoted to procedure - how, when and where to go ahead with future talks. On this no decision was reached. 3) The United States is contact- ing its allies to report on the ini- tial round and receive any sugges- tions. Deadlock Remains White made plain, however, that there was no discussion of sub- stance which would alter the still- deadlocked Berlin issue. Asked whether he agreed with Dobryn- in's description of the meeting as businesslike and fruitful, White replied, "I have no quarrel with that." The Rusk proposals include an international authority covering access to Berlin, creation of tech- nical committees between West and East Germany, non-aggres- sion pledges by the NATO and Warsaw Pact defense groups, and United States-Soviet agreement not to give nuclear weapons to other countries.

Kennedy, at the White House last night in what was pictured as an effort to clear the atmosphere after their head- on clash last week. The purpose of the face-to-face talk, unannounced beforehand, was given by White House officials. Blough's visit folowed by exactly one week another unheralded call on the President by him, to break the news that U.S. Steel was going to increase its prices $6 a ton. Maintain Relations Some officials interpreted the meeting as an indication that Kennedy hoped to maintain "re- sponsible and cordial" relations with business interests. In other action, Sen. Estes Ke- fauver (D-Tenn) said yesterday hearings into steel pricing prac- tices-an aftermath of last week's steel price drama-probably will start in about six weeks. Meanwhile, a Republican con- gressmen accused Secretary of De- fense Robert S. McNamara of "an absolute violation of law" in awarding a steel contract to the Lukens Steel Co. last Friday. Rep. Melvin R. Laird (R-Wis) said McNamara's action violated the laws covering competitive bid- ding in the proceurement of de- fense material. Lukens Contract Rep. Gerald R. Ford, Jr. (R- Mich), who brought up the sub- ject of the Lukens contract during debate.on the Defense Appropria- tion Bill, called for a congression- al investigation. "This was an obvious evasion of the law covering defense procure- ment," Ford said. Essay Hits Warren Court thering of the Communist con- spiracy through the Supreme Court which is dominated by Chief Justice Warren.", Rose cited several cases where the court, since Warren took of- fice, has aided the Communists. He said that the court has delivered 30 decisions favorable to the Com- munist cause and that Warren personally has voted in favor of the Communists 39 times. Free Communists In the Yates vs. United States appeal, the court ruled that a vio- lation of the Smith Act must in- volve an effort to instigate action. This, said Rose, is in effect telling the Communists: "You are free to plot to destroy this country, and we will not bother you until you actually start dropping bombs on us, at which time we may have to prosecute." Discussing the segregation case, Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, he said that Warren, when he wrote the decision, did not consider the "separate but equal" precedent established in Plessy vs. Ferguson but paid heed to what a Swedish sociologist "who openly and repeatedly had de- clared his contempt for our Con- stitution, 'philosophized' that the races should be forced together - like it or not." Rose added that "we know that one of their (Communists') prime tactical objectives is to exploit various minority groups, to create tension and hatred among the races, and to incite and encourage any violence they can." The question, Rose noted, lies not in whether Warren has aided the Communists but whether he did it unwittingly or in full knowl- edge using "the guise of 'civil rights,' 'academic freedom' and other semantic gobbledy gook." However, he said that it does not matter because "stupidity is a high crime when its inevitable con- sequence is the destruction of Western civilization. Even treason can be no higher crime - if the consequences are the same." There is more than enough jus- tification, indeed "their demeanor warrant this action," to impeach not only Warren but Justices Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, Wil- liam J. Brennan and perhaps oth- ers, he concluded. Rose is now taking extension courses in engineering at the Uni- versity of California at Los An- geles and working at a Santa Mon- ica aircraft plant. He was dropped from the UCLA engineering school previously due to poor grades. End Contracts With Firms' WASHINGTON {P) - President John F. Kennedy's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity yesterday banned two firms from being awarded further govern- ment business unless they correct questioned racial policies. The action is the toughest taken so far by the committee in enforc- ing Kennedy's executive order re- quiring no job bias by ,govern- ment contractors. Similar action is being considered against other companies, it was stated.
