PSYCHIA TR Y, RELIGION:
By ELIZABETH ROEDIGER
There should be no antagonism between psychiatry and religion
since both are tenants of a common ground, Dr. Henry R. Gold said
yesterday.
Dr. Gold, psychiatrist, sociologist and rabbinic scholar, explained
that ancient priests played leading roles in both domains. The priest,
in addition to his spiritual office, was originally a public health offi-
cer.
Today, however, there is a merging of roles again, so that func-
tions of priest and psychiatrist are becoming increasingly similar, Dr.
Gold noted.
"The religionist can almost never take the place of a psychiatrist
and physician and a psychiatrist can never take the place of re-
ligion," Dr. Gold added.
A minister, burdened with parochial judgements, cannot be ex-
pected to deal as would a medical doctor with problems which appear
purely physical in nature, Dr. Gold explained.
A psychiatrist may claim sometimes to take the place of religion,
but he deals with disturbances and their solutions, not principles, Dr.
Gold noted. The psychiatrist, "concerned with treatment of symptoms
and conflicts may lose sight of the principles which make up human
destiny." he noted.

Legislature
Deadlocked
Over Taxes
Democrats Refuse
To Back GOP Plan
By MICHAEL HARRAH
Acting city Editor
The Legislature is deadlocked
over taxes again.
Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann
Ar bor) reports that the Democrat-
ic legislators have backtracked on
their indication of last week that
they would supply the 10-15 extra
votes needed in the House to pass
the GOP package of nuisance
taxes.
In caucus yesterday, the Dem-
ocrats agreed to vote for no other
tax program than the governor's
which includes a personal and cor-
porate income. This package was
scuttled early last week in the
Senate.
House Republicans, numbering
56-Just enough votes to pass a
bill, cannot hold enough of their
members in line to pass the entire
nuisance tax package. A handful
of legislators always seem to vote
against one or another of the indi-
vidual taxes, for private reasons.
Bursley said however that the
House Taxation Committee will
report out the $69 million GOP
package without recommendation,
in hopes that it can be "worked
out on the floor."
"I don't see how the deadlock
could last too long. This is an elec-
tion year and many of the mem-
bers want to get home for the
campaign."
But the Senate doesn't see it
that way. Sen. Joseph P. Smeekens
(R-Coldwater) heads the bloc of
GOP senators who are opposed to
any new taxes, and who plan to
submit their own budget propos-
als, tailored to fit present revenues,
this week.
Sen. Carlton H. Morris (R-Kala-
mazoo) is still holding out for his
own nuisance tax package, which
would give some $86 million to
higher education for capital out-
lay purposes.
Meanwhile, the appropriations
committees in both chambers are
sitting on all the spending bills,
pending the settlement of the tax+
program.
Voice Release
Justice Department Intervenes
GREENSBORO (UP) - The De- '-
partment of Justice stepped into a
desegregation suit here yesterday,
asking the courts to nullify the
separate-but-equal provision of
the Hill-Burton Act on Federal
Aid for hospital construction.
Federal attorneys filed papers
with United States middle dis-
trict court asking permission to
intervene in a suit by 11 Negroes
who seek to force desegregation of
staffs and facilities of two Greens-
boro hospitals.
Negroes Suit
The Negroes' suit, filed Feb. 12,!
accuses Moses H. Cone Memorial
Hospital and Wesley Long Com-
munity Hospital of discriminating
against Negroes in violation of the
14th amendment to the United
States Constitution.
The Hill-Burton Act, which be-
came law at the close of World
r
War II, has been used to channel
hundreds of millions of dollars
into the construction of hundreds
of hospitals.
The Justice Department also
asks the courts to rule that the
two h o s p i t a I s discriminated
against Negroes in violation of the
Constitution.
No Hearing Date
No hearing date on the depart-
ment's motion was set. A motion
by attorneys for the hospital trus-
tees, asking the suit be dismissed,
is to be heard next Monday.
The Department's action, an-
nounced in Washington by United
States Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken-
nedy, apparently caught parties
to the suit by surprise.
Dr. George C. Simkins, Jr., a
Negro dentist, said neither he nor
anyone else among the plaintiffs
had asked the department to in-
tervene.
Mose Kiser, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of Wesley Long
Hospital, was informed of the ac-
tion by a reporter. "This is the
first I'd heard of it," was his only
comment.
Nine Negro doctors and dentists
and two patients are the plaintiffs.
Roumell Sees
.Detroit News
In Violation
DETROIT (P) - A regional di-
rector of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, in a preliminary rul-
ing yesterday, said the Detroit
News appeared to have violated,
the National Labor Relations Act
when it suspended operations dur-
ing a strike at the Detroit Free
Press.
Thomas Roumell told the pub-
lishers of the Detroit News and
the Detroit Free Press that, fail-
ing a settlement by Friday of a
complaint brought by six local un-
ions representing various crafts
and trades at the two papers, he
would then issue a formal com-
plaint and schedule a formal
hearing.
The publication stoppage is en-
tering its 28th day and pickets
of the paper and plate handlers'
union were on strike against the
News.
Must Tuition,
'enator Reports
Francis Cites Senate Agreement;
Matthaei Sees Boost in Fall Term
By DAVID MARCUS
A tuition boost appears unavoidable.
Senate Majority Leader Lynn 0. Francis (R-Midland)
said yesterday that there is general agreement in the Senate
that there will be no increase in appropriations to any state
college or university that did not raise tuition.
Regent Frederick C. Matthaei of Ann Arbor, viewing the
bleak appropriations prospect, said that "in my personal opin-
ion we will have to raise student fees next fall." He added
ANTI-SALAZAR:
PortugueSe Author ities
Fight Demonstrators
LISBON (iP) - Police swinging clubs and firing rifles in- the air
last night turned back groups of workers trying to stage Communist-
ordered demonstrations against the Salazar regime in downtown
Lisbon.
A government spokesman said five persons were wounded by stray
bullets. Unofficial reports said seven or more were hurt.
Police squads dispersed the workers as they began marching from
industrial areas toward the center of the city.
All civilians had been evacuated earlier from Blackhorse Square
and all downtown river bank streets. These were the same streets
where the most violent anti-gov-
ernment outbursts inyears erupt-
ed May Day, injuring at least 20
persons.
Extra precautions were taken
earlier in the evening after Por-
tugal's underground Communist
Party circulated pamphlets calling
for demonstrations in Lisbon,
Oporto, Coimbra and other cities.

that he did not know if the
other Regents concurred with
him on tuition.
A final decision will not be
made until after the Legislature
has completed appropriations.
Increase State Funds
The Regents have asked a $4-5
million increase in state funds for
the University's operating budget
in the coming year. University
Executive Vice-President Marvin
L. Niehuss has said that "neces-
sary salary increases alone would
be in excess of $4 million if we did
what we should and we need funds
for other things than salaries."
If the University does not re-
ceive these funds from the state,
he said, "the only source I can!
see would be a tuition increase."
Regent Irene E. Murphy of Bir-
mingham, while declining to com-
ment on the probability of a tui-
tion increase, said about Francis'
statement, "All that means is the
Legislature wants somebody else to
do the taxing."
Francis noted that, at this time,
the size of any increase in Univer-
sity appropriations would not be
tied to the amount of funds
brought in by tuition boosts.
Regent Donald M. D. Thurber
of Grosse Pointe noted that tui-
tion would be "a subject of very
careful consideration at the May
Regents meeting."
On This Subject<
Other senators have also ex-1
pressed opinions favoring a tuition
boost. Sen. Arthur Dehmel (R-
Unionville). a member of the Sen-
ate Taxation Committee, has saidz
"I think in all fairness to the tax-
payers there should be an increase
in tuition rates so long as the Uni-
versity receives additional funds 1
from the state."S
Sen. Elmer H. Porter (R-Bliss-s
field), chairman of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, has alsot
said that "he does not think" thec

million boost.

Wayne State University's great-
est accomplishments lie ahead, ac-
cording to its president, Clarence
B. Hilberry.
Hilberry cites the "clinical" fa-
cilities for research in medicine
and the law, in social work and
rursing, and in government and
sociology gathered together in the
metropolitan area of Detroit.

yet untried between the university
and the great concentrations of
scientific talent in industry, and
between social scientists and the
observable human drama unfold-
ing in the city, -be said.
WSU, dedicated to freedom of
learning and exploration, began as
two separate institutions. In 1868,
a private medical school was
opened in Detroit, followed in 1881
y the establishment of the De-
;roit Normal Teaching School
From these institutions evolved
Wayne University which became
known as Wayne State University
n 1956.
Basic curricula offered by the
university include a general cur-
riculum, curriculum in science,
pre-professional studies, teacher
preparation, and a special curri-
culvmn offering a comprehensive
background knowledge or inten-
sive specialization. A Junior-Year-
n-Munich program is offered by
he school as well as opportunities
n secretarial studies and nursing.
Admittance to WSU generally
requires graduation from an ac-
ciedited high school,. fifteen ac-
ceptable units with a 'B' average
n academic areas, and the recom-
mendation of the rrincipal.
Twenty-one thousand students
are served by the Detroit Institute
of Arts, Detroit Public Library,
Detroit Historical Museum, and
he International Institute. The
100-acre main campus itself is
valued at $38 million in buildings,
rounds and equipment.
In educational probings, WSU
has set up the Monteith College.
ts three goals include general
ducation, independent study. and

Any person eligible for enrollment
may apply for Monteith College.

being accepted by a group.
4) When the situation permits
many alternate behaviors, and he
is uncertain about the degree of
appropriateness of the alternates,
then social pressure will be an ef-

No Type
The people who are conformists
are not a type. There is no par-
ticular mentality which responds
to social pressures more than an-
other.
"The findings of the study are
in the social science tradition of
analysis of effective relationships
which appear to be independent of
the particular individuals involved.

group can be controlled through
the application of social pressure,
