Delegates to the union's bien- nial convention c h e e r e d and, pounded their feet for almost five minutes in supporting a resolution that specifically authorized the goal in the next negotiations in the men's apparel industries. The 35-hour work week with no pay cut has been the main point of emphasis since the convention began on Monday. Congressional Action Besides calling for the shorter work week in its own industries, the 400,000-member union passed another resolution similar to one- already approved, both urging Congress to make the 35-hour week a standard by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act. Yesterday's action was taken de- spite disapproval voiced for the administration Tuesday by Secre- tary of Labor Arthur Goldberg. "Let me say categorically for the national Administration that the President and the Administra- tion do not feel that reduction of hours will be a cure to our econom- ic problems or to employment," Goldberg told the convention. No Mention Vice-President Lyndon B. John- :son did not mention the matter in a speech yesterday to the conven- tion. A test of the union's new policy P will not come until June 1, 1963, when the three-year contracts cov- ering 125,000 coat and suit indus- try workers expire. The three-year contracts covering another 100,000 men's apparel workers will expire June 1, 1964.' NEW CRISIS-The de Gaulle government of France faced a new crisis today as five cabinet ministers resigned today without prior notice. Premier Georges Pompidou (right) has taken over the duties of the Minister of Regional Planning. President Charles de Gaulle (left) is currently engaged in a four-day tour of Central France. Resin in Protest Of De Gaullist Policies PARIS ) - Five cabinet ministers suddenly resigned yesterday, creating the first rift in President Charles de Gaulle's recently re- vamped government. But de Gaulle quickly filled the breach last night with new ap- pointees and left on schedule for a four-day tour of Central France. The five who resigned are members of the Catholic Popular Repub- lican party. They quit because de Gaulle continued to oppose their idea oof a politically integrated Europe. Marines Seize SIndonesians HOLLANDIA OP) - Dutch au- thorities yesterday announced cap- ture of 20 Indonesians in the vest- pocket war at the tip of West New Guinea. The government said the In- donesians, wearing camouflage uniforms and bearing rifles, sub- machine guns and grenades, were rounded up by marines while try- ing to land in a boat near Fakfak Tuesday. The captives were identified as members of the mobile brigade of the Indonesian state police. They were quoted as saying they had orders to inflitrate near Fakfak, a copra port of 5,000 on the Ceram sea. Calls Relations Normal Again BONN EP)-Chancellor Konrad Adenauer told his cabinet yester- day that Bonn-Washington rela- tions are normal again after a per- iod of disharmony over the Berlin issue. Government Press Chief Felix Von Eckardt said Adenauer told the cabinet that his recent talks with Walter C. Dowling, United States ambassador, and Tuesday's meeting in Washington between President John F. Kennedy and G e r m a n Ambassador Wilhelm Grewe brought satisfactory re- sults. ° But Von Eckardt indicated at a news conference that there still were differences of opinion over details of United States proposals for an interim solution of the East-West dispute over Berlin. The press chief refused to di- vulge details but said the ques- tions still were under discussion between the Bonn Foreign Office and the State Department. Adenauer told parliamentarians of his Christian Democratic Par- ty Tuesday that his relations with Kennedy were "as good as ever." Asked whether Adenauer, be- cause of improved relations, now will change his mind about calling Crewe home, Von Eckardt said, "one must wait and see." More immediately pressing factors -Algerian bloodshed and a series of strikes in France - did not fig- ure in the cabinet walkout. The departure of the five re- moved one of the meager political underpinnings of the Gaullist cab- inet, leaving it more than ever a team of non-party technicians. Reshuffle Ministers After hours of consultations, the recently installed Premier Georges Pompidou announced a reshuffled team with Pompidou himself tak- ing over the additional duties of the Minister of Regional Planning. As expected, the newcomers are mostly technicians. George Gorse moved up from an undersecretary post to take over the Ministry in Charge of Cooperation with the New States of Africa. Gilbert Grandval, recently Sec- retary of State for Foreign Trade, took over as Minister of Labor. Newcomer Raymond Marcellin, a conserv- ative deputy and the only new- comer to cabinet rank in this ad- ministration, was named Minister of Health. Roger Dusseaulx, a Gaullist deputy, became. Minister of Pub- lic Works. A communique from the Elysee Palace gave de Gaulle the' last word. It simply said he had "de- cided to put an end to the func- tions" of the defecting five by ac- cepting their resignations. It did not add the customary word of tribute for past services. Disarmament Perils Cited GENEVA OP)--British Delegate Joseph Godber warned yesterday that disarmament could become a death trap if it upsets the world military balance at any stage. Godber told the 17-nation dis- armament conference Soviet pro- posals for a complete elimination of all nuclear delivery vehicles could impair this balance and would not eliminate the threat of nuclear war. He said a nuclear warhead capable of destroying a whole city is a cylinder only five feet long and two feet in diameter which could be easily transported by commercial planes or other means. The U. S. disarmament treaty draft calls for a 330-per cent re-+ duction of the delivery vehicles with both the U. S. and Soviet' proposal retaining nuclear wea- pons un' il at least the end of the second stage of disarmament, Series Khrushehev Blames U.S. For Renewal Reminds Bulgarians Of Russian Power VARNA, Bulgaria ()-Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev said yester- day the Soviet Union is preparing a new series of nuclear tests in answer to recent American shots in the atmosphere. The Soviet leader made the statement to Western correspond- ents covering his state visit to Bul- garia. Asked whether he had said ear- lier in the day that the Soviet Un- ion would renew its atom blasts, Khrushchev replied: Forced Renewal "Yes I said it. We are forced to renew ouratests because, despite our appeals, the Americans did not refrain from renewing theirs." Khrushchev told the Bulgarians the "socialist camp has adequate forces, the means to curb the ag- gressors," and added: "We persistently urge the states- men of all countries, irrespective of their social order :the issue of peace or war is an issue of life or death." Khrushchev spoke with Western newsmen after a speech at a pub- lic meeting in Varna's main square. In the main, Khrushchev was in a jovial mood as he toured this Miami Beach of the Soviet bloc, alternately joking with the easy- going Bulgarians or lecturing them. Khrushchev also told a meeting of shipyard workers that many Russians have a false understand- ing of Communism. He described their idea of the future paradise as "eating more and working less." Reproaches Bulgarians In a mild reproach to the eco- nomically lagging Bulgarians, he asked: "Are you satisfied with your situation today?" "You might be satisfied with to- day's situation in comparison with yesterday's but you want even more for tomorrow. Am I right? The only way to achieve this, he said, was to work harder and improve the standard of life in Bulgaria, one of the lowest in Eastern Europe. Con-Con Sees City Problem, Says Bromage The new Michigan Constitution proposed by the recently conclud- ed Con-Con will, if it is accept- ed by the voters, give a long-de- layed constitutional recognition of the metropolitan problem, Prof. Arthur W. Bromage, chairman of the political sciend department, maintained yesterday. Speaking at the biennial council meeting of the Michigan League of Women Voters, Prof. Bromage noted that the proposed Consti- tution "contains language author- izing the Legislature to establish in metropolitan areas additional forms of government or authorities with powers, duties and Jurisdic- tions as the Legislature shall pro- vide." The new Constitution preserves home rule for cities and villages for the present, he said. But, "re- mote as it may now seem, demand' may someday ,arise for great me- tropolitan miilti-functional au- thorities or even super-govern- ments to serve wider areas." Such super-governments would in effect constitute another level of govern- ment between local units and the state. He emphasized that this provi- sion was meant only to allow the Legislature power to act if, some- day in the future, the home-rule pattern should become inalequate. "No one argues that Michigan to- day is ready for super-govern- ments above the local level of con- stitutional units." World News Roundup By The Associated Press PARIS--The French cabinet yesterday confirmed that the self- determination referendum in Algeria will take place July 1. This was the date proposed by the Algerian Provisional Executive in Algeria last week. The Executive will conduct the vote, which is expected to be in favor of Algerian independence. WARTFORD-Sen. Prescott Bush, 67-year-old Republican, with- drew yesterday from a re-election race, saying he lacked strength for the campaign and for future Senate service. OMAHA-Freshman Congressman Ralph Beermann yesterday clinched Republican renomination in Nebraska's reorganized first congressional district by ousting a four-term GOP colleague, Rep. Phil Weaver. Congressional redistricting made necessary by loss of one of the state's four House members made rivals of Beermann and Weaver in Tuesday's primary election. * * * * WASHINGTON-Rep. Carroll D. Kearns of Pennsylvania, senior Republican on the House Labor Committee and veteran of eight terms in Congress, was unseated in Tuesday's primary election. * * * * PARIS-Ex-Gen. Raoul Salan charged yesterday that Gen. Charles de Gaulle's followers once tried to murder him with a bazooka and now are -trying to destroy him under cover of law. Salan, supreme military commander in Algeria before he turned against the govern- ment to head the Secret Army Organization fight to keep Algeria French, made the accusation, at the second day of his treason trial. WASHINGTON-Glenn L. Seaborg, chairman of the Atomic Ener- gy Commission, testified yesterday that delays in completing a new super powered reactor are costing a year's production of plutonium for nuclear weapons. Seaborg also told the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee that there have been technical setbacks in work on a nuclear powered space rocket. WASHINGTON-A new measure to pay the final $73 million due on Philippine World War II damage claims was approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday. A favorable Rules Committee vote would clear it for floor action perhaps late next week and at least partially alleviate the strain on United States-Philippine relations that followed the House's surprise rejection of a similar bill last week. By RENE-GEORGES INAGAKI Associated Press News Analyst TOKYO-Fight, talk, fight, talk. That has been the Communist pattern in Laos for seven years. Based on past performance and their present statements, the Pathet Lao and its Communist backers in North Viet Nam and Red China now believe the time has come to talk again. Prince Souphanouvong's Pathet Lao would like nothing better than to take over the control of all Laos at one swoop. But its lead- ers know this cannot be done with- out the great risk of direct retalia- tion by Western forces. So they probably will not expand their re- cent military success in Northwest- ern Laos into a general offensive. This is particularly so since the United States is now moving into adjoining Thailand with a combat force of about 5,000 men and planes. Military Panic Sudden Pathet Lao thrusts, backed by the North Vietnamese, have thrown the Royal Laotian Army into panic several times in the past. These attacks have al- ways been local and unexploited. Last week while the royal army and the population at Houei Sai fled pell mell across the Mekong River to Thailand, the pursuing force, though virtually unopposed, RELIGIOUS SOCIAL SUPPER CLUB INTERRELIGIOUS CULTURAL PUBLICITY H ILLEZAPOPPIN U.J.A. SERVICE Petitions now available in Hillel office Interviews Sunday, May20 ... 2-4 p.m. never attempted to go into the border town. The Pathet Lao may do so at a later date, but so far it has avoid- ed taking any town along the Me- kong where the river forms the border with Thailand because of possible intervention by the United States or the Southeast Asia Trea- ty Organization. With the capture of Muong Sing and Nam Tha, the pro-Com- munists have cleared Northwestern Laos of Royal Army resistance and once again made their point-that the government had better resume talks. A Pathet Lao offensive in March and April last year on the road from the royal capital of Luang Prabang caused a similar panic in Vientiane. The government sought a cease-fire which was declared May 3. Troops Surrender The government since then ex- panded and trained its army in- tensively. But the debacle of the 5,000-man garrison at Nam Tha proved again the inability of the Laotian national army to stand a determined attack. The Pathet Lao claims that 1,- 800 men ofthe national army were captured or surrendered at Muong Sing and Nam Tha. If so this is the most serious blow the Lao ar- my has ever suffered. Negotiations now seem likely to bring Prince Souvanna Phouma back from Paris to resume his ef- forts to form a neutral coalition government. Furthermore, the Pathet Lao keeps describing the action in Nam Tha and Muong Sing as a counter attack to "protect liber- ated areas" from government troops who allegedly used Nam Tha as a base to launch offensives. -This charge, whether true or not, indicates that the Nam Tha attack was considered a local ef- fort. In line with that strategy, the Pathet Lao's main force is report- ed pulling back from Houei Sai, 90 miles southwest of Nam Tha and farthest point of the Commu- nist advance. Now Peiping has broadcast statements by Pathet Lao leaders urging a resumption of negotia- tions on formation of a coalition government-provided the United States withdraws its small military advisory group from Laos. . So the stage is set again for talks, But if the talk period ends with- out the desired result, the Pathet Lao can be expected to launch an- other push. Group Protests AMA Refusal o -oAllow Aid WASHINGTON (A-The Amer- ican Medical Association's rejec- tion of an advertisement backing President John F. Kennedy's health care for the aged plan brought a protest yesterday from a group of physicians who support the plan. Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn of Hudson, N.Y., chairman of the Committee for Health Care for the Aged Through Social Secur- ity, said the AMA refused to pub- lish the ad submitted by his group in either the AMA Journal or AMA News.

They are presented, not as strict rules (since some experts with highly de- veloped eyeball control enjoy watching while running the high hurdles, for example), but merely as friendly suggestions. 1. Don't watch while driving. 2. Don't watch while drilling teeth (dental students only). 3. Don't watch while removing tonsils (medical students only). 4. Don't watch while mixing chemicals in the lab. 5. Don't watch girls who are engaged to the captain of the football team. Our final suggestion is a do, not a don't.
