LXXIII, No. 142 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1963 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES Majority at Hearing, Speaks for Passage Fair Housing Ordinance Receives Support from Churches, Individuals By MARJORIE BRAHMS About 185 people filled the Ann Arbor City Council meeting room last night to witness the second public hearing on the proposed fair housing ordinance where a majority of the individuals, who expressed opinions, urged immediate passage of a strong bill. The University did not send a representative to testify at the hearing. Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns said yesterday that University President Harlan Hatcher met with him and the three-man advisory committee on fair housing yesterday afternoon. They discussed the preliminary draft of a report on the University's 'relations to a fair housing ordi- nance. He said that no decision to send a representative to the hear- ing came out of the meeting. Expects Final Report President Hatcher commented that he expects the final report, but does not know when. "When it is complete, I will decide wheth- - er to send a personal representa- 4 tive to a hearing," he added. He also said that the commit- tee's findings will be "helpful to the community and the council," but would not specify in what way it would be helpful. Of the 29 people who spoke at the hearing, two opposed the ordi- nance, saying that it should be put to the voters for ansadvisory vote rather than being acted on by council itself. -U Voices Opposition Mrs. Ruth Hobbs, president of; the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors, HARLAN HA TCHER said she "feels there has been er- ... fair housing roneous thought about the board, which is not against fair housing, but has been working for it."

Boos (D-Sag- inaw) noted yesterday that the Legislature does not want to get into "open warfare" with Michi- gan's ten state-supported colleges over expansion in higher educa- tion. This desire is indicated by the Legislature's failure to approve plans for the establishment of a degree-granting institution on the Delta College campus, which would operate under the auspices of the University. In a letter to University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher, Boos urged the University to go ahead with plans to set up a program accom- modating 200 students of the jun- ior year level at Delta. President Hatcher indicated yesterday that he had not yet received the letter. Full Authority Boos commented that the Uni- versity has full legal authority to go ahead with the plan. "If the University were to spon- sor such a program, they could not be criticized any more than they are now," Boos said, referring to censuring of the University from the Michigan Council of College Presidents. The plan closely coincides with an interim proposal now in the hands of the Legislature which would place the control for such an operation with the University. Proposal Completed The proposal was drawn up with the help of President Hatcher, Executive Vice-President Marvin Niehuss and Delta officials and was introduced approximately twos weeks ago. "Right now everyone seems to be waiting for organizational ideas from Gov. George Romney's blue- ribbon educational study commit- tee," Boos said. The committee was formed for the purpose of provid- ing workable plans for growth of higher education. "Many people on both sides of the Delta expansion argument are peppering the governor's office," Boos noted. U. S. Prestige Rests on Vote By Canadians By The Associated Press OTTAWA - Canadian elections have not generally been much of a spectator sport for Americans south of the border; this one is. , The Canadian election April 8, for the House of Commons is in a way a direct referendum on how, Canadians feel about the United States. A central issue in the3 campaign and in the political up- heaval that caused disbandment of the last Parliament has been, whether Canada should accede to; American pressure and accept atomic weapons for its air forces. Regardless of the heat and in-; terest developed in the election, the results could well leave the, situation just as it was last winter3 with no party holding a majority. And the new government will in- herit some formidable and famil-; iar problems. ' The most publicized of these persisting problems is the decision Canada will have to make about allowing its air forces to be armed with United States nuclear war- heads to fulfill its commitments< to the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization and the North Ameri- can Defense Command.

Phoenix Seeks Methods For Further Financing By PHILIP SUTIN i Plan allows New Building Constructionf Voters To Determine Fate of Bond Issue, Suitability of Locale By DAVID MARCUS The University is expected to announce today tentative plans for phasing out University High School in favor of a joint arrange- ment with Ann Arbor for use of a new high school which may be constructed on North Campus. The plans depend on whether Ann Arbor voters approve a high school construction bond issue and on whether North Campus proves to be a suitable location for the school. The phasing out would be spread over a three-year period. The move would allow the University addi- tional facilities for training high school teachers. In return, the University would have donated North Campus property for 'con- structing the new high school. * Transition The transition would not be completed until 1966. The other non-high school pro- grams conducted at University School would not be affected. Letters were sent outyesterday to the parents of University High School students . explaining the reasons for the change. Increased Applicants The transition to an Ann Arbor operated high school would aid the University in accommodating a higher number of teaching certifi- cate applicants without the Uni- versity building a new high school itself. The University has been confer- ring with Ann Arbor school offi- cials on the feasibility of coop- eration in this area for some time. If the bond issue fails or if the decision of school authorities is against locating a unit on North Campus, the plans will be aband- oned or deferred. One of the major questions was the problem of whether it is bet- ter for teachers to be trained in a laboratory school or in a regular school system under normal con- ditions. SEC Offers 'Mild' Report On Securities The Michigan Memorial-Phoenix Project is considering new means 'of financing when the $2 million raised by the last fund drive in 1959 runs out. The project has a budget of approximately $400,000 a year. Funds for it had been raised by soliciting alumni and industry support. The University contributes slightly less than $100,000 a . f '1 2 I, { year, recognizing the Phoenix lab- oratory's work in teaching and academic research, Phoenix Direc- tor Prof. William Kerr of the nu- clear engineering department ex- plained. He said that a 'fund drive did not commit the project to an- other one, once its money ran out. Because of this, alternate means' of financing the project were dis- cussed at last month's meeting of the Development Council. Several Alternatives He cited several alternatives the project could use: 1) Industry could be encouraged to contribute smaller amounts over an indefinite period, rather than a large amount over a fixed time; 2) The University could increase its share of paying the Phoenix laboratory costs. Currently it pays slightly less than 50 per cent of its cost; 3) The project could attempt to be self-supporting. However, this is. probably unfeasible as there is not enough revenue available from fees to cover the project's research and educational activities; or 4) The project could seek fed- eral grants to maintain it as well as for specific projects. This is un- likely as the federal government tends to support specific research projects by contracts or grants. Project Expansion However, the project should ex- pand, Prof. Kerr asserted. He said that the project was considering extending the power level of the reactor and expanding it for more elaborate experiments. The reactor was designed about 10 years ago, Prof. Kerr noted, and should be modernized. In addition, the number of ap- plications for Phoenix support of atomic energy-related research has increased, he said. The project spends approximately $100,000 supporting such work. Brazil Offers Aid to Bidault RIO DE JANEIRO (MP)-Brazil's 'Quick Action' 'Outlay Scheme Advances Plans Gov. George Romney's $1.11 million "quick action" capital out- lay program, now awaiting House action after Senate passage, will turn preliminary plans for a new dental school and medical science buildings into working plans ready for construction bids. The dental school building, Dean William R. Mann of the dental school said, will include three floors of classrooms, clinics, re- search space and faculty offices. It will be located northeast of the current dental facilities where a parking lot and the Temporary Classroom Bldg. are now located. Thenew buildings would allow the school to increase its enroll- ment from 97 to 150 students. It will also permit the school to train 75 instead of 39 dental hy- genists. Detailed Plans The Medical School hopes to complete detailed planning within a year and a half for the second medical science building, Assistant Dean of the Medical School Alex- ander Barry noted recently. He said that preliminary plans for the building have been com- pleted and that state money will be spent preparing detailed plans for the building. The University has been seeking this structure since 1950. The second medical science unit, will be located next to the new Buhl Human Genetics Bldg. and will be connected to the first med- ical science unit. Beal House, cur- recently on the site, will be torn down, Barry said. A passage will join the Buhl Human Genetics Bldg. and the proposed structure. New Facilities The new building will house the Medical School's anatomy, physi- ology, microbiology and. genetics departments, he noted.

Leave Gregory Negro comedian Richard Greg- ory, who was with the group that tried to register, was not bothered by police. Several of those taken to jail were elderly women.

"I will stay here until the fed- eral government does something about police brutality and allows these people to go to the court- house to vote," Gregory said. FCC Lowers lphone Rate CAMPBELL AWARD: Kerwin, Wickens Win Law Competition NEW YORK (MP)-The stock market advanced yesterday in ap- parent reaction to what some fi- nancial leaders considered the mild tone of the Securities and Ex- change Commission's report on the securities business. The SEC report to Congress gave the securities industry a generally good bill of health but said it had found some "grace abuses." It proposed new legislation, reg- ulations and tighter controls. Possibilities of the. SEC inves- tigation, which was sparked by disclosure of manipulations on the American Stock Exchange more than a year ago, have been thrash- ed out on Wall Street for many months. The commission will recommend these legislative proposals: 1) Authorizing standards of character, competence and finan- cial responsibility as conditions for entry into the business; 2) Requiring all firms and in- dividuals to be subject to the authority of one of the self- regulatory agencies (the stock ex- changes or the National Associa- tion of Security Dealers); 3) Granting the commission dietdisciplinary controls over individuals and perfecting NASD controls; and 4) Providing the commission with intermediate sanctions over firms and individuals short of out- right revocation of a firm's broker- 4 By LAURANCE KIRSHBAUM and THOMAS DRAPER Frank J.

In the hypothetical case argued yesterday, Mander vs. Davis, the "respondent" Davis was asking for a writ of mandamus from the state supreme court. He claimed the un- constitutionality of two aspects of his state's election process: the apportionment established by a 1952 constitutional amendment and a public law which compelled disclosure of a candidate's race, religion and residence to be print- ed on the ballot. apportionment was justifiable as a means of guaranteeing minority rights. "I do not deny that the repre- sentation is disproportionate, but I do deny that this prevents equal protection of the law guaranteedj by the constitution," he said. His co-partner, Wickens, asked, the court "to make a delineation between what is distasteful and what is unconstitutional." He said that the law requiring candidates to place race and religion on the ballot is "clearly within the bounds of +he consttinand einartilr_- m ...'
