THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'AG New Iraqi Rulers Move To Crush Communists; Get World Recognition Jeffrey Cites Factors Giving Ferency Control By KENNETH WINTER A combination of four factors enabled Zolton Ferency to unseat John J. (Joe) Collins as Democratic state chairman, a top Ferency supporter said Sunday. Mrs. Mildred Jeffrey, community relations director of the United Auto Workers and Democratic national committeewoman, cited Ferency's personal qualities as the first factor. "He was able to impress the dierle p w ith hk s ab~ilitiP s1 Soviets Blast U.S. A-Test Resum tlon P :GENEVA (P)-The Soviet Union asserted yesterday new United States underground nuclear blasts are a blow to hopes for a test ban treaty. Pessimism engulfed delegates on the eve of the resumed treaty talks. a ._ An official statement by Tass, distributed from Moscow, said the Nevada testing "gives impetus to a new nuclear arms race" and "the government of the United States' bears full responsibility for the possible consequences of this step." Delegates of smaller countries to the 17-nation disarmament con- vention privately blamed their pes- simism on the Soviet Union, the United States and France, the lat- ter for boycotting Geneva. - The Americans and British tried to lift some of the gloom by in- i sting that an opportunity exists sfors agreement on a treaty if the Russians will discuss enforcement details. But they hold that the Russians still take a too rigid stand. The Americans and British want the Russians to agree to eight to ten on-site inspections a year and to accept seven to ten black boxes, or automatic seismic detectors, as safeguards against secret testing. The Russians insist they will allow only two or three such in- spections and have offered to take three black boxes. The one hopeful factor is that the Russians have accepted again the principle of on-site inspections after assailing the idea for a year and a half.

Rusk Calls Rift In Red Camp Encouraging ,0 WASHINGTON (P)- Secretary of State Dean Rusk said yester- day the rift between Communist China and the Soviet Union is a "cause for encouragement about the future of freedom." But he said the West must not relax its guard. Communist threats still are ser- ious and in some areas may in- crease in the months ahead, Rusk said in a television interview over the national educational tele- vision channel.- He was joined by, three top aides in the most exten- sive examination of the Peking- Moscow dispute ever publicized by the State Department. Rusk said that the debate among the Communists proves that Com- munism-not modern democracy as the Communists contend - "contains within itself the seeds of its own decay." "This. is cause for encourage- ment about the future of free- dom and for confidence that if we persevere, if we do not grow weary and falter, we can move to- ward a rule of law and a world community truly at peace," he said. With Rusk on the program were U. Alexis Johnson, deputy under- secretary for political affairs; Averell Harriman, assistant secre- tary for Far Eastern affairs, and Roger Hilsman, intelligence direc- tor. All agreed that the unity of the Communist movement has been shattered by the ideological row that has raged over the past five years. Nationwide Executions To Continue Efforts Concentrated In Red Stronghold BEIRUT (M)-Iraq's new rulers were reported waging a bloody campaign yesterday to annihilate Communists throughout the na- tion. Moscow nevertheless j o i n e d Washington and London in rec- ognizing the revolutionary regime. The machine-gunning of Iraqi Communists died down in Bagh- dad, the capital. But reliable re- ports to other Arab capitals said Communists were being wiped out elsewhere in the fiercest offensive in this part of the world since the blood bath in 1959 in Mosul. Premier Abdel Karim Kassem, overthrown Friday and shot Sat- urday, crushed an uprising in the northern city that year. Reliable sources in Damascus said there had been mass killings of Communists in the North and South of the country. The cam- paign was said to be particularly violent in the southern province of Alnaja, where Red strength was concentrated. With the country's borders clos- ed, the Iraqi Reds were trapped. Damascus sources said they were fleeing Baghdad and going under- ground in the provinces to con- tinue resistance. to President Abdel Salam Aref and the army junta. Fighting was reported partic- ularly savage in the river port of Bssra of eastern Iraq. Reports from the Iranian oil center of Abadan said the Com- munists seized the prison and freed 1500 Reds and criminals. Iraqi regulars were ordered to leave their posts on the border with Kuwait and help put down the Communists in Basra, the reports added. Treasury Plots Course of Debt WASHINGTON (W) - The na- tional debt might go as high as $328 billion under President John F. Kennedy's tax program, before the budget reaches balance, the Treasury estimates. But the same estimates, published yesterday, said that without the tax cuts and .,evisions, the debt might be more than $335 billion by 1967, and still growing. Git gtaes w1G111 capa 11Ge6 , she commented, characterizing Ferency as "a very able person with high principles, who can transmit these to others, and an; excellent organizer.'' Swainson Support Second, the "terrific reception" given former Gov. John B. Swain-' son when he came to the conven- tion to endorse Ferency was a major factor, Mrs. Jeffrey con- tinued. She said that the Ferency supporters were not sure this would happen, and were somewhat worried that a lukewarm recep- tion for Swainson might damage Ferency's chances. Third, she observed "resent- ment" among the delegates against "the heavy push by elected of- ficials" for Collins. "Democrats tend to have great respect for the officials they helped to elect, but they don't like the officials telling them how to run things within the party," Mrs. Jeffrey remarked. Fourth, while Ferency had ac- tive support, there was no "zeal or enthusiasm" for Collins him- self. "There had been all kinds of unrest around the state. If Collins had been a strong can- didate he would not have been defeated," she added. Maintain Status Quo She represented the collins sup- port primarily as a desire not to "rock the boat" by changing lead- ers, rather than as enthusiasm for Collins. However, Mrs. Jeffrey asserted that Collins' ousting was not a result of Swainson's defeat in the fall election. "The past has no- thing to do with Collins. During the whole fall campaign it was agreed that no one would be per- sonally blamed if we lost. There was no bitterness or recrimination involved. "The only question was, 'Who is the- best man to lead the party for the next two years?' No Indication She noted that "Swainson was in support of Ferency, to my knowledge, since mid-November, at least," but said that the fact Swainson's man now heads the party was "no indication at all that Swainson plans to run Jr. 2964." "I've heard him say that his candidate for governor is (Con- gressman-at-large) Neil Staebler," she added. However, she pointed out that "there was never any question that Swainson would stay in Michigan politics." Kennedy Asks Speedy Action On New School WASHINGTON (R) -- President John F. Kennedy asked Congress yesterday for fast action to create a new academy to train civilians who serve the nation overseas. Kennedy proposed the estab- lishment of a National Academy of Foreign Affairs in or near the District of Columbia, He noted that nearly a million Americans now serve the nation abroad and that their operations involve nearly every government department and agency. State Department officials have said that the department still would obtain recruits for the dip- lomatic corps from graduates of private institutions and then they would go through training courses at the new academy with persons already in foreign service. This would make the proposed academy more of a graduate school than a diplomatic equiva- lent of West Point. Officials said no degrees will be granted and there would be no set time for the training program. UNIQUE LETTER: Lockheed, Labor Sign Contract By ELLEN SILVERMAN union shop in the company.
