THE MICHIGAN DAILY Soviets Halt Americans South Faces Test In Education Crisis Open Fire on Demonstrato On Autobahn; Russians Protest Shift of Troops I T chnleality Bri gs Delayi Demonstrates Control Of Highway by Reds" BERLIN ()-Soviet troops de- layed 'an American combat outfit on Berlin's lifeline highway yes- terday and Moscow sounded warn- ings against a forthcoming shift of 3,000 United States troops over that road. The developments shifted at- tention in the simmering Berlin crisis to the four-lane express highway, or Autobahn, linking West Berlin with West Germany across 110 miles of Red-ruled East Germany. Delay Convoy Russian guards delayed .for 74 minutes yesterday morning a con- voy of nine jeeps, trucks and trail- ers carrying about 50 United States troops out of Berlin for training in West Germany. They were held up in a driving rain until the United States Army corrected an error in papers shown to the So- viet checkpoint guards. Although apparently, caused by a technicality, the delay served to demonstrate the control the Communists have over Autobahn traffic. Earlier this week, Presi- dent John F. Kennedy said inter- national controls for the highway should be a major issue in any East-West talks. Shift Announced Yesterday's incident occurred just as a newly announced major shift of United States troops over the Autobahn drew a sharp Rus- rsian ,blast. Tsasthe official Soviet news agency, Thursday night denounced, the current shuttle of United States troops over the Autobahn as military provocation "fraught with dangerous consequences." Without commenting on the charge, the army at 7 a.m. yes- terday announced plans to move, entire battle groups across* the Autobahn, starting in the near fu- ture. The announcement brought a new Tass attack. It said the most recent movement was "not dictat- ed by any kind of military con- siderations or requirements, but is just a dangerous act of military display." About 1,500 men are in a battle group. The outfit scheduled to leave Berlin is the 1st Battle Group, 18th Infantry, which was rushed here by Autobahn after the Communists built their wall be- tween West and East Berlin in August. The groups will move in several small units as is customary, and the Russians will be informed of all movements, the army said. A battle group has seven companies. Atlas, Polaris Score Success CAPE CANAVERAL (P) - An Atlas missile, unleashing "cloud- burst" flares as it dived on tar- get, and a Polaris A-2 rocket reg- istered successful test flights yes- terday. The Atlas covered a 5,000-mile course several hours after the Po- laris zipped more than 1,000 miles in a test of its warhead and oth- er components. PHOTOS by BUD-MOR 1.103 S. Univ. NO 2-63621 - 1 By CAROLINE DOW The "improve higher education or else" ultimatum that the Southern states received Thurs- day from their Commission on Goals stated an imperative fact that the South must face. That Southern schools were falling behind the nation in qual- ity was clearly identified by a re- cent survey of National Science fellowships awarded in the South. Of the Southern studentshwho re- ceived fellowships for this year, 62 per cent will attend outside universities as compared to 48 per cent last year. In comparison, only one per cent of students from oth- er regions selected Southern in- stitutions. Necessary Step That the step was necessary from the national point of view was evidenced by National Coun- cil on Education President Logan 'To Examine Space Chim CAPE CANAVERAL (P)-Space traveler Enos, a nonchalant chimp, returned here yesterday for thor- ough check-ups to learn if there are any danger signals against man in orbit. An official pronounced Enos in fine shape after his twice-around- the-world flight which began Wednesday on the nose of an At- las missile launched from Cape Canaveral. Asked if there was anything in the flight which indicated man could not have performed as well as Enos did, Lt. Col. James P. Henry, an Air Force veterinarian, replied: "Not in so far as orbital flight of this duration is concern- ed." But Henry said extensive exam- ;nation is needed to uncover pos- sible unpleasant after-effects. And after a brief meeting with the press, Enos-appearing bored by' the whole thing-was whisked off to an animal compound on the Cape to begin a battery of men- tal, physical and lever-pressing tests. Wilson's remark that the nation must begin to coordinate educa- tional facilities voluntarily or na- tional defense will dictate some time of forceful coordination. The Commission reported only eight out of the 16 Southern states had made provisions for statewide co- ordination of education. Remedies recommended includ- ed coordination of the state edu- cation programs and increasing federal aid, both ideas which have come into greater favor as the needs of education expand. The report said that educational fa- cilities should be coordinated to make "a regional resource"' of them. Calls for Federal Aid Although local and state sup- port was necessary, the Commis- sion called for federal aid to help meet the chronic needs of the South. The report stipulated, how- ever, that federal aid should not interfere with local and state autonomy. Federal aid would be necessary as the South by 1970 should be educating almost double the stu- dents they are now accommodat- ing. As the relative income in the South is less, the burden will be great on the region to handle these 1.7 million Southern stu- dents in 1970. Junior colleger, graduate schools and higher quality secondary schools should also be encourag- ed the report said. A year-round six-day academic schedule was al- so recommended. Reducing Extra-Curriculars The only recommendation that has not already received exten- sive attention in another region was a reference to reducing ex- tra-curricular activities in insti- tutions. Although no specifics were outlined in this area the re- port stated that: "No thoughtful observer of . . . can fail to be dis- turbed by the relationship which scholarship and learning add to those athletic and social activities which claim much of the attention Df students .. "The fact is that too often the essential purpose of institutions is obscured and impaired by undue weight given activities only re- motely related to a vigorous and obsorbing intellectual life." TO THE WEST-American troops enter West Berlin after Soviet troops halted their trip across the Autobahn from West Germany to the besieged city for 74 minutes. The Autobahn is one of the access routes guaranteed to the Western powers in order 'to maintain communications with West Berlin. FAILURE TO REGISTER: F ederal G rand Jurylic s U . .R d P r . WASHINGTON (M)-A federal grand jury indicted the Commu- nist Party of the United States yesterday for refusal to register as an agent of 'the Soviet Union. The 12-count indictment returned under the Internal Security Law of 1950 makes the party, on conviction, subject to a fine of $10,- 000 for each day it continues to refuse to register, identify its officers and provide information on its financial operations. Hours After Deadline Yesterday's action came only a few hours after the midnight deadline for registration of the party's officers but 11 days after the Nov. 20 deadline for registration Soviet Press, Hits Kennedy MOSCOW ( )-President John F. Kennedy suffers "political de- lusions" if he believes the Soviet Union is trying to communize the world, the Soviet newspaper Lit- erature and Life said yesterday. It asserted Communism will tri- umph without direct intervention of the Soviet Union because, it said, Communism is strong, just and irresistible. Comments on Interview Life and Literature was com- menting on Kennedy's interview with the editor of the Soviet gov- ernment newspaper Izvestia in which Kennedy said the biggest danger to peace is what he called the Soviet Union's efforts to communize the world. The interview with Alexei Ad- zubei, Izvestia editor and son-in- law of Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev, was printed virtually intact in that newspaper. Literature and Life, although expressiig criti-' cisms, said nevertheless the inter- view "was a useful dialogue--It was a necessary one. This dia- logue will undoubtedly be contin- ued." Notes 'Delusions' "However," said Literature and Life, "one must note the political delusions of Mr. President who decided to come up with a num- ber of quite unfounded and sim- ply incorrect propositions to So- viet readers who can very well tell the difference between white and black, who can compare facts and draw correct conclusions from them. "What, for instance, is the value of Mr. President's assertion that the Soviet Union is striving to 'communize the world?' Victorious March "Yes, the bright idea of Com- munism is marching victoriously over the entire world. "But that is a result of justice, of strength and the irresistible at- tractions of ideas of Communism for peoples who are tinder the yoke of colonialism and not to the 'efforts' of the USSR to 'commu- nize the world'." of the party. This indictment, returned by a regular federal grand jury at the request of the Department of Jus- tice, is directed only at the party. But it is. assumed the officers will be indicted later. If indicted and convicted, they become sub- ject to the same $10,000-a-day fines plus five years' imprison- ment for each day of violation. A third and final deadline falls on midnight, Dec. 20, when indi- vidual members of the party are required to register. If they red fuse to register and are indicted and convicted each would be sub- ject to the same penalty as the officers. No Comment Communist Party headquarters in New York had no immediate comment on the indictment. There were some indications that the action is driving the party's ac- tivities underground although it has not been technically outlawed. Yesterday's legal move is like- ly to be the first in another long round of litigation. The 1950 act was fought through the courts and was upheld only last June by a 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court.' Milita ryCites Small Volume Of Complaints WASHINGTON (R) - Pentagon sources reported yesterday that complaints, have come from less than one per cent of the 119,000 Army reservists and National Guardsmen called into federal service. The estimate is based on letters and other communications receiv- ed at all Army levels-the field commands, the Continental Ar- 'my Command at Ft. Monroe, Va., and headquarters here, these sources said. President John F. Kennedy took cognizance of reports of discon- tent by some reservists at his news conference on Wednesday. He said some unhappiness by men whose lives had been disrupted was to be expected. world News Roundup By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS-The Unit- ed Nations General Assembly yes- terday elected Communist Ro- mania to the 11-nation Security Council for one year, ratifying a behind-scenes gentlemen's agree- ment that broke a deadlock.
