The partial success of the flight appeared to jar considerably United States hopes of placing a man in orbit before year's end.

POLLOCK . .:reapportionment Pollock "Asks Redistricing Prof. James K. Pollock (R-Ann Arbor) of the political science de- partment, delegate to the consti- tutional convention,. proposed a reapportionment plan that would add at least five new seats to the Senate yesterday. He suggested that the present Senate districts he unfreezed from the constitution and set up for a ten-year transition period, with two new seats going to Oakland County and one each to Genesee, Macomb, and Wayne Counties. Moiety Clause In addition, Pollock asked that one member be added to the 110- seat House to prevent deadlocks and that the moiety clause, which gives at least one representative to sparsely' populated districts, be eliminated. He suggested a "precise formu- la" for apportionment of the Sen- ate after 12 years, requiring that senatorial districts must be creat- ed in accordance with "popula- tion distribution, geographic or re- gional areas, and economic and commercial interests," and must be of "compact and contiguous territory." Less Variation Prof. Pollock would allow no more than 30 per cent variation in Senate district populations, and no more than 15 per cent in House districts. He also suggested that "to pro- vide for representation of com- munities as such, and to recog- nize the great increase in urban population, the committee might consider giving Senate seats to mayors of the three largest cities," Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids. u.S. Criticizes Soviet Offer For Test Ban GENEVA (P) - The United States told the Russians yester- day their proposal for an unin- spected nuclear test ban now that they have completed their own vast series "reflects a rather high degree of Soviet cynicism." United States delegate Arthur H. Dean said the United States and Britain offered an uncon- trolled atmospheric test ban last September only to end a radio- active hazard from the Soviet tests, but the offer now is revoked. moment to date. Enos and his space capsule were parachuted back tc earth at 1:28 p.m. (EST) 500 miles southeast of Bermuda. Two destroyers, the Stormes and the Compton, raced for the impact area at flank speed - and the Stormes made the recovery. The ship reported Enos "appeared to be normal." Zips, Around On his two-orbit flight, Enos zipped around the earth at alti- tudes ranging from 99 to 146 miles and attained a top speed of 17,- 500 miles per hour. Nearly twice around the flight seemed absolutely perfect. On each leg of the journey the reports from the 18 tracking stations and ships scattered around the world were flashed with a cheering mon- otony. On each station - to - station passage, the flight monitors re- ported, perfect communications and receipt of data which indi- cated that Enos was working pur- posefully at his pr-assigned chores. Second Orbit Near the end of the second or- bit, the data flowing back to earth began to indicate something wrong with the space capsule car- rying the 5%-year old chimp. There were indications of over- heating in some of the space- craft's electrical equipment and abnormal operations of the' con- trols which maintain the vehicle on a stable course. Swiftly, the decision was reach- ed to terminate the operation. Braking Rockets A signal to fire the braking rockets was flashed at 1:08 p.m. to the space ship from the Point Arguello, Calif., tracking station. At this point the space . ship began the long, relatively slow descent, its bluntnose glowing like a fading comet as the tem- peratures built up to around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. ' One purpose of the flight was to determine whether a United States astronaut could make a similar flight safely and whether a man could carry out manual tasks while undergoing prolonged weightlessness. JBuchen Offers Financial Plan For Colleges The acting chief executive of Michigan's newest college Tuesday proposed giving governing boards of the state's colleges and univer- sities more fiscal autonomy. The bid, introduced by Philip W. Buchen, vice-president for busi- ness affairs of Grand Valley State College near Grand Rapids, called for the Constitutional Convention Education Committee to create separate boards for each public in- stitution and to include provisions to assure the freedom and effec- tiveness' of each school. "There is no beneficial or safe substitute for board authority in fiscal matters, coupled with the obligation on its part to make full disclosure of transactions," Bu- chen said. "Central fiscal controls and ad- ministration may be appropriate for many functions of state gov-; ernment, but they are certainly" unnecessary, as well as harmful, for institutions of higher educa- tion." However, he did support require- ments for fiscal responsibility and accountibility on the part of the1 governing boards, such as full dis- closure of transactions and uni- form accountings of their opera-I tions.1 CAPE CANAVERAL-"Enos" the male chimpanzee was rocketed around the world twice yesterday, in a Mercury capsule. Glenn Slated as Astronaut;, Carpenter, Named Second CAPE CANAVERAL OIP-John Herschel Glenn, Jr., a 40-year-old Marine lieutenant-colonel, was named yesterday as the first United States astronaut to be rocketed into orbit, over the space route blazed yesterday by the, chimp, "Enos. Carpenter Named Navy Lt. Cmdr. Scott Carpenter was named backup pilot for the first manned flight in a statement read by Robert. Gilruth, Project jy a i ' a aI, There are other criteria for a veto of council actions than con- flict with Regental policy, hasty action, and lack of consultation, Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis told Student Gov- ernment Council last night. Noting the general criteria of irresponsible or unreasonable ac- tions, Lewis declined to give a specific definition of these terms. Clearly Understood "This is a grey area. It is a clearly understood ground rule of Student Government Council that there may be a variation in what is reasonable." However, he suggested that a committee might be established to work out the meaning of these4 terms. He said that hiseveto power was delegated from the Regents as a result of a number of studies on student government. Before using the veto, Lewis said' he would consult with the presi- dent, other administrators and' the faculty. "It is doubtful that I would confer with the Regents,' however," he added. Lewis noted the change from the first SGC plan where an ad- ministration, faculty, student board in review to the present arrangement of the administra- tor veto has changed the per- spective on reviewing council ac- tion. Reviewing IssuesE "Because a community group ofi students, faculty and administra-' tors would be prone to substan- tively reviewing issues, the last study group placed veto with the vice-president with an advisory community group," 'he explained. "This power was given because the Council can make mistakes and1 aggrieved parties can have a method for review."1 Council Takes Resignation Student Government Council1 accepted the resignation of Wil- liam Gleason, '63, at their meeting last night. Gleason cited "personal reasons"i for leaving his position. It was made with "regret and reluctance.1 The facts of my existence at the University have made it impossible1 to contiriue my service to thisc Council in a way that is becomingi of a good Council member."c The Council is investigating the1 possibilities of filling Gleason'sl post. OFFICIALS ATTACKED: enator Witnesses Violence Uin Katana ELISABETHVILLE ()-Sen. Thomas Dodd (D-Conn) took a palm view yesterday of his first-hand encounter with violence by a group of KatAnga paratroopers against two white United Nations of- ficials. The United Nations reaction was angry. "All is peaceful now," Dodd said before leaving for a tour of Kolwezi, a copper and cobalt production center 130 miles northwest of this provincial capital. "I have Plan HUA4C Riots Film The Pentagon is preparing its movie version of the student riots at San Francisco City Hall May 12-14 last year. Entitled "Communist Target: Youth," the movie is to be billed as the Pentagon's answer to the House, Un - American Activities Committee's "Operation Aboli- tion." "Communist Target: Youth" takes its title from a report by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, following the riots. Hoover described as Communist- led the students who were protest- ing meetings of a subcommittee of the HUAC investigation al- leged 'Communist activities in the Bay area. "Operation Abolition" has been vigorously criticised as distorted. James C. Lucas, Scripps-Howard military writer, reported details this week of the "top priority" project preparing the Pentagon movie. As it stands now, he reported, "Communist Target: Youth" de- scribes the students as Communist dupes. One sequence shows stu- dent deionstrators being booked by police a the narrator describes then as "a sad, dejected, duped lot." Air Force Lt. Gen. Joseph C. Carroll, head of the Defense In- telligence Agency, is narrator. He is a former FBI agent. The movie will include a close-j up of "an identified Communist," named in the script as Archie Brown, a San Francisco long- shoreman, holding onto a railing while police struggle to eject him from the chamber of the meeting. It pictures the San Francisco riots, as part of an international, Communist conspiracy, according; to Lucas. It includes film clips depicting the regimentation of So- viet and Cuban youth, student riots in Japan and Red Youth Fes- tivals in Vienna and Moscow. Mercury director, at a news con- ference following yesterday's suc- cessful chimpanzee orbit. Gilruth named Donald Slayton to be the pilot for the second manned orbit flight, with Astro- naut Walter Schirra backing him up. Alan B. Shepard, Jr., who made America's first sub-orbital space flight last May, was named flight technical advisor for the Glenn- Carpenter team. Recovery Operations Leroy Cooper was named to handle launch pad and recovery operations for this group. Virgil I. Grissom, who made the second United States suborbital flight in July, was named flight technical advisor for the Slayton- Schirra team. Gilruth said the naming of these teams does not necessarily mean that the next Mercury flight will be a manned flight, nor that the next flight will be made in this calendar year. Chimp Orbit Earlier, Gilruth had said offi- cials would have to take a close look at the results of yesterday's chimp orbit, which was terminat- ed after two orbits instead of three because of technical trou- bles with the space craft, before future plans can be definitely made. "The fact that this flight was successful does not say categor- ically whether the next will be a manned flight," Gilruth said. "I am very, very happy about this selection," Glenn said. "Scott and I can work closely together. It is still a team effort. I think that is pointed up by the effort yesterday . . : It's still a team ef- fort all the way."

You know how he is about them." seen this before many times." Witnessed Manhandling The senator was a witness last night to the manhandling by par- atroopers of George Ivan Smith, an Australian who is temporarily chief United Nations representa- tive in Katanga, and a British of- ficial, Brian Urquhart. Dodd crouched on the floor of a United States consul's car as the driver sped away after rescu- ing Smith from the angry. men of Katanga President Moise Tshom- be's armed forces. An Indian soldier was stabbed to death and an Indian major disappeared on a patrol that hunt- ed for Urquhart. Heavily beaten, the Briton was later rescued by Tshombe's personal guard. Deeper Understanding Smith commented that Dodd, who has praised Tshombe in Sen- ate speeches, "now has a much deeper understanding of United Nations problems here." A spokesman at United Nations headquarters in New York charg- ed that inflammatory statements by Tshombe, who has called on his people to stand by for war, sparked the violence. Diplomats said the incidents would result in greater demands at the headquarters for Unitedi Nations action to end the seces- sion of the mineral-rich province and swing it back under control of The Congo government in Leo- poldville. In this connection, Rhodesian Prime Minister Sir Roy Welensky announced in Salisbury that he had received from Tshombe a re- quest that a distinguished states- man from an independent, un- committed African country be ap- pointed mediator in the dispute between Elisabethville and Leo- poldville. SEN. THOMAS DODD . . Congo violence LABOR: 'Consspiracy Causes Rift BAL HARBOUR, Fla. UPl) -The organized labor rift widened yes- terday as building trades charged rival industrial unions and missile manufacturers with engaging in a job-pirating conspiracy. C. J. "Neil" Haggerty, president of the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department, leveled bitter personal charges at Walter Reuther and the AFL-CIO Industrial Unions Department which the auto workers president also heads. In a keynote address to the Building Trades Convention, Hag- gerty said Reuther's industrial unions and missile makers had conspired "through the presenta- tion of biased testimony" to a Sen- ate committee in Washington last spring to undermine building trades work opportunities at mis- sile bases. "What they are trying to do," Haggerty said, "is to take away missile site jobs from building trades workers and give them to industrial union members at lower wages which prevail in (missile) manufacturing plants. No wonder the employers are on their side." To Resume Discussion Next Week. Motion To Provide Exemption in Cases Of 'Impossibility' By CYNTHIA NEU Student Government Council last night postponed until next week decision on a motion intro- duced byCouncil President Rich- ard NohI, asking for a Jan. 1T deadline on the submission of membership statements by sorori- ties. and fraternities to the Of- fice of the Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs. The motion, which was discusss ed by the Council in a committee of the whole, also provided for a petition for exemption in cases where "extenuating circumstance" made it impossible for the group to comply with the regulation. Failure to submit either the statement or a petition would re- sult in the automatic suspension of the group'srushing privileges. Once suspended, the privileges could be restored only by SGC. To Notify Those fraternities and sorori- ties which have not yet submit- ted statements would be notified by the Council president. Noh, in introducing his motion, explained that the penalty would be imposed only if a group fails to communicate with the Council in any way, regardless of whether a petition is accepted or denied. Per Hanson, '62, charged that the motion would encourage houses to use a "stop-gap meas- ure," since the pena ies do not apply to "inadequate statements and a group could submit any type of statement. Consider Question Interfraternity President Rob- ert Peterson, '62, argued that the question of adequacy should be considered through the procedure which has been used in the past. (The Council president is em- powered to view the statements and is communicating with any group whose statement is not complete with regard to the pro- visions of the regulation.) Panhellenic President Susan Stillerman, '62, explained that the deadline would not allow sufficient time for those sororities presently working with their nationals and in good faith to finish their work at such short notice, and thus penalizing them would be unfair. The proposed deadline date would approximately mark the first anniversary of the passage of the SGC motion asking for the submission of membership state- ments and accompanying inter- pretation by sororities and frater- nities. Board of Education Rejects Proposal for 'U' Study Tea m The Detroit Board of Education Tuesday night turned down an attempt by Supt. of Schools Samuel M. Brownell to bring in a Uni- versity team to study Wilbur Wright High School. The superintendent had asked two weeks ago that a $5,462 con- tract be established with the University's Bureau of School Services, under the direction of Kent Leach, to study the cooperative courses at Wright. The study was to determine whether Wright should con- tinue as a vocation school, how ' students were to be selected and how courses should be ,expanded T hayer Ty eochne.This week Brownell modified his proposal and asked that a citizen's " committee be set up with the Uni- versity group acting as advisors..: Donald Merrifield, a member of the board opposed the contract claiming that the study was being tied to the University. "You appoint a committee to oversee the study but you limit their consultation and advice to the same people," he said. At the previous meeting Merri- field had declared there was no need to bring the University ex- perts in for consultations on a problem which was "essentially work oriented." trees Parking Garage ---- APPEARS IN IZVESTIA: Kennedy'sInterview EvokesVaryingReactions --------- -- ------ .... ........... .. ............
