The plan is the first step to-"
ward setting up a trading bloc
patterned after the European

sions.
The week-long discussions will
be devoted to studying proposals
for assuring equal competition,

Only two South American coun-

" a serious setback. The strong-
est opposition c a m e from
Democrats and state labor leaders,
and the proposed document failed
to gain enough votes in outstate
industrial and rural areas.
With 4,725 precincts reporting
out of 5,209, 'yes' votes numbered
733,167 and 'no' votes 752,367.
The defeated constitution fared
well in traditionally Democratic
a n d labor - dominated Wayne
County but failed to gain expect-
ed strength in outstate industrial
"and rural areas and in most parts
of the Upper Peninsula.
Democrats Oppose
s Former Gov. John B. Swainson
campaigned long and hard with
other Democratic leaders against
the constitution.
Swainson called for Romney's
1 "nonpartisan" support in a revi-
sonal program thatwould amend
the present constitution in needed
areas.
"It is very gratifying that the
people of Michigan have not been
overwhelmed by the deluge of
propaganda .on the constitution.
This reaffirms my faith in democ-
racy," Swainson -said early this
mo6rnirig.
Suffers Defeat
Zolton F e r enc y, Democratic
State Central Committee chair-
man, noted that "Romney has suf-
fered defeat at the poPs. His self-
ordained leadership has been re-
jected; he asked for a mandate
from the people but did not get
it."
Newly-re-elected Regent Eu-
gene B. Power of Ann Arbor com-
mented that "the defeat is the
evidence of the common sense of
the Michigan voter and shows the
voter's desire to consider issues
separately, which is what the
Democrats proposed and stand
for."
Power echoed the sentiments of
eother Democrats who wish to in-
prove Michigan's present constitu-
tional setup through amendment
of the existing document.
No Debate
"Seventy-five per cent of the
proposed constitution could be
submitted right now, as there is
no debate over that much of the
rejected document," Regent Power
said.
Romney had charged the con-
stitution's opponents resorted to
"a despicable campaign of lies
and distortion."
Sen. Stanley Thayer (R-Ann
Arbor), Senate majority floor
leader and a key moderate force
in the upper house, said "too bad,
but tomorrow is another day.
"The rejection of the document
does not constitute a rejection of
the governor's leadership, but a
rejection of his views in one area
which he felt was very important."
The new constitution would have
made changes in many major
areas, including extending the gov-
ernor's term to four years and
changing the provisions for fi-
nancing local government.

Dr. Albert F. Schneider, the Dem-
ocratic challenger, picked up 6,-
687. The dry line charter amend-
ment received only 7,641 as oppos-
ed to a sobering 8,233 against it.
The "no" margin came mostly
from the third ward.
Pittsfield Annexation
Voters also decided for the an-
nexation of some developed Pitts-
field area. The vote was 11,566 for
and 3,032 against. In the affected

British Cabinet Assembles
To View African Demands
LONDON W-)-The cabinet met in emergency session last night to
considerwhite-ruled Southern Rhodesia's demands for early inde-
pendence.
The signs were that the British will try to stall.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister R. A. Butler tried to cool off the
imperial crisis arising from the
Federation of Northern a n d<
Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
Britain Concedes
While Britain last week con-
ceded Negro-ruled Northern Rho-
desia's right to secede, Butler told'
the House of Commons the gov-
ernment aim in the three terri-
torities is "evolution of an effec-
tive relationship between the ter-
ritories which is acceptable to
each of them."
The white Southern Rhodesians
have insisted that independence
must come to them no later than
to Northern Rhodesia and Negro-
ruled Nyasaland.
Butler stressed that new consti-
tutions for all three territorities
should await new talks to work
out orderly arrangements to wind
up the federation.
Butler Attacked
Butler's statements came under
fire from some of his own right-
wing conservative followers who
stand squarely behind the white
Rhodesians.
The opposition Labor Party and
the Liberals, however, strongly
backed Butler.
In Southern Rhodesia, mean-
while, black-white tensions seem-
ed to be rising.
Hard Labor
Joshua Nkomo, leader of the
country's three million Africans.
was sentenced to six months hard
labor on a charge of obstructing
police during a fight at a political
rally.
Sir Roy Welensky, prime min-
ister of the 10-year-old federation,
accused the British government of
stabbing the 300,000 Southern
Rhodesian whites in the back by
conceding secession to Nyasaland
and Northern Rhodesia.
Welensky has always contended
-as once did the British govern-
ment-that the federation was the
best way of achieving multi-racial
rule in central Africa.

Ben Gurion
JERUSALEM, Israel Sector (W)
-Three- opposition parties assail-
ed Prime Minister David Ben
Gurion last night for what was
termed his pro-German attitude.
They demanded a special par-
liament session to deal with
mounting furor over German
scientists working for the United
Arab Republic.
A special session was considered
likely. The three parties-the Na-
tionalist Herut, the Liberals and
leftwing Mapam-hold 43 seats,
or 13 more than necessary to
force parliament to be recalled
from the current Passover recess.
Spokesmen forkthe parties said
they want to take up what they
called West Germany's reluctance
to take steps to prevent German
scientists from helping UAR arms
production. They said they were
agreed that Ben Gurion's explana-
tion for the resignation of, Israel's
long-time security chief was un-
satisfactory.
A government spokesman said
the security chief quit Sunday
after Ben Gurion objected to his
political evaluation of the German
scientists affair.
West Germany and Israel have
no diplomatic relations, but deal
with each other in trade and
other matters. The whole affair
has set back West German-Israel
reconciliation.
German Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer contends his government
cannot call back the German ex-
perts in the UAR because they are
private citizens. Israel feels, how-
ever, that the Bonn government is
not doing what it could to discour-
age them.

'QUEST':
Hatcher
Stresses
Research
By BARBARA LrAZARUS
The ivory tower concept of a'
university does not characterize
universities today, since in reality
there is a close inter-relationship
between the university and society,
U n i v e r s i t y President Harlan
Hatcher said last night.
Speaking to business leaders at-
tending the President's Confer-
ence on Business and Industry,
President Hatcher pointed to the
whole area of modern research
which is opening up all the time,
a "relentless quest and adventure,,
which is seeking knowledge and
pouring it back into society."
President Hatcher noted that
the University has not slackened
its effort in cultural areas such
as literature, music and drama,
but also recognizes society's de-
mands for training and other pro-
cesses, which help form a useful
disposal of knowledge for the in-
dustrial and commercial parts of
society.
"Part of the response to these
needs of our state and nation de-
pend on the development of re-
search. Lofty, high-priority pure
research moves hand in hand with
this, and the University hopes to
step this up to see that these new
areas are opened up to general'
knowledge, explored and made
useful for -the economy."
The University has a greater
role to play than it had in the
past, and it is here that produc-
tion of numerous new things for
the economy are made, President
Hatcher noted.
Tracing the development of the
modern university from the col-
lege, President Hatcher said that
"the little traditional centers of
subject matter split off, enlarged
and expanded. Research was plow-
ed back, and we have what you
have here: 17 schools and col-
leges." This is only one example
of what has happened at the Uni-
versity.
The University must continue
training young people and enlarg-
ing the field of knowledge,

Victors Pledge Continued Effort
To Maintain High 'U' Standards
By GAIL EVANS
Incumbent Regents Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor and
Donald M. D. Thurber of Grosse Pointe, both Democrats,
seemed to easily retain their positions on the University's
governing board.
Regent Power placed first with 669,786 votes; Thurber was
second with 654,910. The two Republican candidates, William
B. Cudlip of Grosse Pointe Shores and Ink White of St. Johns,
were defeated having 615,731 and 589,139 votes respectively,
with 4,151 of 5,209 precincts"
reporting at 2 a.m.
The victorious incumbents issu-
ed this joint statement:
"The voters have decisively re-
affirmed their long-standing com-
mitment to the welfare of the Un-
versity of Michigan. We are pleas-
ed with the confidence expressed'
in our service as Regents and we
pledge our best efforts during the
next eight years in continuing to
strengthen and advance the Uni-
versity in the interests of the great
state it serves."'
Regent Thurber opposed pass-
age of the proposed state consti-
tution which was ahead this morn-
ing, arguing vigorously against the
education article and the provi-
sion which would mandate the
governor to intervene during the
fiscal if the anticipated revenue
income conflicted with appropria-
tions. rr ti
Plan To Install Centrex
For Modern Telephones
By CARL COHEN
The University announced plans to modernize the campus phone
service by installing a new system, known as -Centrex.
The telephone system, which will be ready for use by 1964, will
permit direct dialing to stations which are now only available through
the University operator. 10,400 on-campus phones will be involved.
The plan will also permit direct dialing to and from dormitory
rooms and the Medical Center. Medical Center patients and dormi-
tory residents wil enjoy 24 hour service.- The consolidated service

Unsettling Effect
He charged that this interven-
tion would have "extremely un-
settling effect on faculty, student
and the reputation of the Uni-
versity."
His Democratic partner won on
a program which considered edu-
cation as the "birthright of every
child." He did not take a stand
on the constitution.
Both he and Thurber supported
the lowering of tuition but not at
the expense of the quality of the
University. They endorsed the con-
cept of high faculty salaries.
The two Republicans campaign-
ed on a strong support for the
adoption of the proposed state
constitution.
During the campaign Thurber
viewed the role of the Regent as
that of any public servant-to be
responsible to his constituency and
to provide leadership. The Regent
is more expert on educational mat-
ters than the general public. Re-
gents would not be elected to eight
year terms if the public did not
expect them to initiate policy on
their own.
In discussing the role of the
Regent, Power maintained that the
Regent should not enter into the
day-to-day affairs of the Univer-
sity. They should get an over-all
picture of what the University is
doing and where it is going. The
Regents appoint administrators to
handle the daily problems, and if
they are not satisfied with the re-
sults, replacement is in order.
Regent Power, the president of
University Microfilms, Inc., has
served as chairman of the Board
since 1960 and has been a mem-
ber since 1955.
He campaigned on his record as
a Regent and on a six-point pro-
gram for improved statewide high-
er education.
'Orderly Expansion'
Regent Thurber, the president
of Public Relations Counselors,
Inc., supported "orderly expan-
sion of facilities" to meet the en-
rollment crisis. He maintained that
expansion not just coordination
would prepare the state for the
large number of qualified high
school graduates seeking a college
