Grassmuck Sees Revolution' As 'Mere Change in nPalace' By MARILYN KORAL The Iraqi revolution which erupted yesterday was interpreted by Prof. George Grassmuck of the political science department as "prob- ably a mere change in the palace." He predicted that the opening of fire would hardly resolve the conflicts between Baghdad and Cairo because "Iraq has oil and Egypt does not. "There has been a persistent historical conflict between Iraq and the Arab world. There is no reason to assume that the bitterness Announce Premier Murdered ITAL. Recognizes New Government By The Associated Press BEIRUT-Iraq's Premier Abdel Karim Kassem was reported over- thrown and assassinated yesterday by the same coterie of young army officers who helped him destroy the Iraqi monarchy and rise to power four and one-half years ago. The coup was regarded as a triumph for the Nasserites of the Arab world. The rebels announced they had crushed Kassem's rule with tanks and planes and "destroyed the tyrant." The Cairo-headquartered Middle East News Agency said there was no doubt about Kassem's death. Transitional President The insurgents ordered a crack- down on Communists and named the pro-Nasser former co-leader of1 Kassem's own revolution to serve as transitional president. United Arab Republic PresidentS Gamal Abdel Nasser, arch enemy and rival of Kassem, hailed the Iraqi coup as a victory for the1 "Arab struggle." Nasser's bid fors Middle East supremacy, bolsteredi by the Cairo-oriented Yemen re- volt last fall, was seen on the rise again. The UAR, it Yemen satellite and Algeria-three revolutionary governments-quickly recognized the new Iraqi regime. Kuwait also extended recognition with the ob- vious hope that Kassem's claim to that oil-rich neighboring sheikdom1 now was buried and forgotten. Established Supremacy 1 However, Iraq's borders weret sealed amid indications thatbthe revolutionaries had not establish- ed supremacy throughout the Middle East nation. ; Abdel Salam Mohammed Aref, once Kassem's deputy premier and later his prispner for a reported assassination attempt, was ap- pointed transitional chief of state." In Washington, the state depart- ment has scant information on Mustafa, but believes his move-7 ment is basically anti-Communist1 in character.c Little Newsx As of late yesterday, the United States government had no firm1 news of whether Kassem was'kill-1 ed by the rebels, as reported byv Baghdad Radio. State department officials basee their early estimate of the revolu-1 tionary movement on reports fromx Baghdad that the rebel command1 has purged the army of Commun-1 ist officers, some of whom had been appointed only recently byf Kassem. Otherwise the state department1 knows almost nothing about Mus- tafa and his immediate associates,x most of them under the rank of a colonel.c * * * * * * * * Hous Dog WSU Seeks State Money For Centers Desires To Receive Research Largesse By PHILIP SUTIN Wayne State University Thurs- day became the first state-sup- ported institution to submit a proposal for tapping Gov. George Romney's proposed $750,000 fund to sponsor research on pepping up Michigan industrial development. WSU proposed a three-year, $2 million "crash program" to es- tablish space physics, mechanics and medicine research centers. The cost of the first year operation would be $525,000. The initial investment would set up an institute for biological systems and engineering and an institute for surface studies. Extension Scheme The fruits of the research would be passed on to state industries through an "industrial extension service." The proposal was presented to the House Economic Development Committee Thursday. Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor), its chair- man, praised WSU for the speed and quality of its proposal. However, the University has not given any consideration to asking money from the fund yet, Vice- President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer reported. Still Nebulous "The proposal is a little 'iffy' yet. If the money is available the University will ask for things it considers desirable and which do not get federal support," he said. Sawyer said University partici- pation in the fund will also de- pend on the nature of the fund and its operating provisions. The fund, details of which are expected to be spelled out by Romney in an economic expansion message Monday or Tuesday, will be managed by the newly-created Economic Expansion Council. This group of 25 citizens from various facets of state life will oversee the spurring of state development, Bursley explained. He speculated that a subcom- mittee composed of scientists as well as laymen will specifically consider requests. Committee Presses Racing for LANSING PROBLEM: Delta-U' Discussions C By KENNETH WINTER Discussions of the possibilities of incorporating Delta College as a University branch are continuing, despite lack of support in this year's Legislature for such a mer- ger. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns explained that since the Delta-branch idea is only in the talking stage, the question of whether or not this year's session would endorse the plan "is not significant." The aim of the present Univer- sity-Delta negotiations is "to work out an educational plan involving the cooperation of Delta and the University," which would also be acceptable to the various groups involved. These groups include the gov- erning boards of the two institu- tions, the Legislature, and the res- idents of Michigan's thumb area where Delta is located. Hilberry Cites Budget Deficit By The Associated Press LANSING-Gov. George Rom- ney's budget figures for Wayne State University leave the insti- tution $150,000 short, WSU Presi- dent Clarence B. Hilberry said Thursday. Last week, President John A. Hannah, of Michigan State Uni- versity, said that MSU's share was $1.5 million short of its needs. Both presidents are basing their budget differences on Romney's promise to continue last year's level of service although keeping a tight budget for colleges and institutions. Offers Plan To .ad Idled By The Associated Press LANSING-Gov. George Rom- ney yesterday offered what he de- scribed as a "workable proposal" to enact legislation on the state Supreme Court's controversial Ford-Canton decision. Romney's proposal, submitted to a group of leaders in labor and. industry, makes any worker eligi- ble for unemployment benefits who is out of work because of strikes in another plant owned by his company, provided he did not par- ticipate in or benefit from the strike. It further specifies that union dues payments do not constitute participation in a strike. MESC Decision The Michigan Employment Security Commission would be em- powered to evaluate each case on its own merits with the privilege for the worker of appealing the decision to the courts, Romney continued. The proposal met with the ap- proval of the representatives from both labor and industry, the gov- ernor said. Members of the group which met with Romney were ask- ed to submit a wriften report, de- tailing their opinions of the pro- posal. Haber Picked Romney also asked a group of three labor experts from Michigan colleges to work on the final draft of the proposal with Romney-aide Richard Van Dusen, one of whom is ;, cPf William haber of the eco- nomies departiner.t. Prof. Haber nt I t.lat although Romi. ey has one approach to the p obi em, the g,)erar-s answer is not necessarily the only one to a highly controversial problem. Medical School Revises Policy Revising its announcement of Thursday, the Medical School said that only courses in pathology and pharmacology will not issue half- year grades. Grades for other courses are available, Richard H. Emmons, public relations aide of the Medi- cal School, explained yesterday. The Medical School had indi- cated that it had abolished half- year grades. Dean William N. Hub- bard of the Medical School de- between the two areas has been eradicated. Diversive religious and racial forces are still at odds with one another," Prof. Grassmuck explained. Commenting on reports that the revolutionary regime instituted playing of United Arab Republic music over the national radio as a friendly token, he noted that "when Kassem came into power, Egyptian music was played also." Iraqi students on campus con- sidered the revolutionary effort more serious, and feared wide- scale violence and bloodshed. "I am against all forms of change in Iraq if they are in- stituted by violence. But, if my people are to lose their lives for some cause it might at least be a worthwhile one. With the faction that is taking over, I do not be- lieve it will be worth the sacri- fices," one commented. Army May Install Agents in Panama By The Associated Presi WASHINGTON - The United States Army is planning to form1 a new group of anti-guerilla ex- perts and base it in the Panama Canal Zone, in position to help Latin American nations cope with any Cuba-fomented uprisings, it was learned yesterday.+ * ROGER W. HEYNS ...to merge or not Only when and if some concrete proposals emerge from the nego- tiations will the problem of Lans- ing support become relevant. Al- though, in legal terms, no legisla- tive act would be required to im- plement the merger, Heyns as- serted that the plan would never be adopted if the Legislature op- posed it. "We don't need legislative ac- tion, but we need their support," he commented, noting that the in- creased appropriation which would be needed to operate an additional University branch would not likely be forthcoming if the Legislature opposes the merger in the first place. Four-Year Degree Delta is now a junior college supported by three thumb-area counties. If it were incorporated into the. University structure, it would become a four-year degree- granting institution. Heyns believes that having all four undergraduate years at a sin- Educators Fail To Resolve Differences on Federal Aid WASHINGTON W-)-Representatives of 21 national educational groups met behind locked doors yesterday in an effort to resolve their differences on federal aid to education.

PERFORMS TONIGHT: Limon Calls Modern Dance 'A Imerican' By DEBORAH BEATTIE Jose Limon prefers to speak of modern dance as the American dance." The renowned dancer-choreographer, who will perform with his company at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Aud., said that what he and his: company do is done as 20th Century American dance and is some- thing with which they are still experimenting. Limon believes that modern dance has taken root in America because, unlike Europe, which had developed the traditional ballet from Italian peasant dances, and refined it in France and Russia, "America was a raw land with no tradition." Modernist Idea; An American, Isadore Duncan, instigated the modern dance . " ;: movement at the beginning of the century. The modernist idea was carried on by Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey and Charles Weide-- man. When Isadore Duncan first performed in Chicago and New York , she was ignored, so she went to Paris. Dancing to Beethoven and Chopin with unconventional technique and costume, she "brought Greece back to life and although Paris was shocked, it went wild over f' her dancing," Limon said. She rejected ballet completely; some hated her, claiming that it was not dancing, but the performance of a naked woman with no technique, Limon said. Ballet Now Friend The major point at issue con- cerns federal aid to private and parochial schools and colleges. One source said the meeting be- gan with a representative of each group outlining his organization's position. Then President Charles E. Odegaard of the University of Washington, chairman of the meeting, made a plea for some easing of differences. The rest of the time was spent in.discussing the various positions, with no yielding on any side. NEA Against The meeting was called by the National Education Association and the American Council on Ed- ucation. These organizations were at sword's points last year after the NEA sent telegrams to every member of the House of Repre- sentatives, saying that proposed federal grants to private colleges would violate the American tradi- tion of separation of church and state. The House, shortly afterward, killed a proposed bill which would have provided federal grants and loans to both public and private colleges. 'I I
