Swainson Relates
State Loan Plan
Governor Speaks in Union
On Ann Arbor Research Park
By RICHARD OSTLING
Gov. John B. Swainson, speaking in the Michigan Union last
night on the Ann Arbor research park,.outlined This new state loan
plan for industrial development one day after the State Senate agreed
to put the measure on the April 3 ballot.
The bill, Swainson's first major legislative victory 'of his term,
will ask authorization of $5 million in public loans to new develop-
ments by industry to attract business to Michigan.
Local development corporations, such as the local research park
organization, governments, and other groups with "propects designed
Tto stimulate the economy," will be
eligible for financial aid.
Praises City
Swainson was on hand to praise
-the economic "self-help" of Ann
Arbor in independently forming
the first research park in the Mid-
west.
The park was formally opened
for development by the nation's
industry at the annual meeting of
the local Chamber of Commerce.
"It is true that you had an
ideal location and the resources of
the University, but people were
needed to bring this. plan to ,real-
ity and help put Michigan on the
way to economic well-being.
For Strong Economy
"We can have a stronger, more
diversified economy if we provide'
projects such as the research park.
"Not every state can be inde-
pendent, but with greater diversi-
fication, we can minimize the ef-
fects here of national depression."
He noted the partnership of the
park development corporation with
"our great University and the
teaching and technical abilities of
its staff," ard listed a number of
"startling and dramatic" research
ideas the University has produced.
Opponent Speaks
Robert P. Briggs, President of
the Michigan State Chamber of
Commerce, which opposed Swain-
son's loan plan, thanked Ann Ar-
bor for its contribution to the
state's business climate.
Ie said that many University
graduates and industries have
been discouraged from settling in
the state because there' was no
industrial research center.
"The entire state is looking to
Ann Arbor for future guidance,"
Briggs said.
House Speaker Don R. Pears
(R-Buchanan) presented a legis-
lative resolution of March 10
which he authored, commending
the local initiative of Ann Arbor
without asking for "funds from
Lansing or Washington."

To Tolerate
'Apart heid'
LONDON (A') -- South Africa's
partner nations. agreed last night
they would tolerate continued
membership for South Africa. as
a republic in the British Common-
wealth.
But the unbending Afrikaner
Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd
blocked, temporarily at least,
their asserted right to publicly
snub his racial segregation poli-
cies.
Thus at the end of the second
successive day of acrid debate be-
hind the closed . doors of Lan-'
caster House, the multiracial Com-
monwealth leaders' r conference
failed to settle all its differences.
A new attempt will be made
tomorrow, with Verwoerd facing
the likelihood that a declaration
of disassociation from South Af-
rica's race policies, will be issued
whether he likes it or not.
In that case he would have to
choose a course of action that
could include his deciding to take,
South Africa out of the British-
led community of nations. This
would be exactly what Prime
Ministers Nehru of India, Sir Tan-
gku Abdul Rahman of Malaya,
John Diefenbaker of Canada and
President Mohammed Ayub Khan
of Pakistan and Kwame Kkru-
mah of Ghana want.
This was the situation, as de-
scribed by a participant in the
crucial talus:
"The question of South Africa's
future membership has been
settled. We have agreed to accept
-or rather to tolerate-her in our
midst."
Eleven of Dr. Verwoerd's col-
leagues want publicly to express
their opinion that the principles
and practices of the apartheid
(racial segregation) system.do not
conform with the commonwealth
conception of* human rights and
racial equality."

TO TRAIN STUDENTS:
'UTo Investigate
PeceCorps Plan
By FAITH WEINSTEIN
The University is investigating the possibilities of setting up a
peace corps training program here, Vice-President and Dean of Fac-
ulties Marvin Niehuss said yesterday.
Niehuss recently assigned Harold Dorr, dean of statewide educa-
tion, to form a group which would gather and coordinate ideas on
kinds of programs the University could develop, and how it would
develop them.
"The University has no official proposal to consider as yet," Dorr
said, "so I'm just sort of holding on until we hear something about our
possible role."
Dorr was confident that the University would at least be con-
sidered as a training center. James M. Davis, director of the Interna-
tional Center, agreed. "It seems
inconceivable that the University,

WASHINGTON (M' A trim-
med-down minimum wage bill
backed by a coalition of Repub-
licans and southern Democrats
was introduced in the House yes-
terday.
It promptly won the support of
the 33-member Republican Policy
Committee.
The measure would provide a
15-cent increase ,n the present $1-
an-hour minimum and fix a $1
minimum for about 1.5 million
newly covered workers.
It was offered by Reps. William
H. Ayres (R-Ohio) and A. Paul
Kitchin (D-NC) as a substitute
for a broader, Administration-
backed bill which comes up in
the House next week.
A similar bill by the same two
sponsors' won approval in the
House last year. The House and
Senate coild not compromise
their differences, however, and no
legislation was enacted.
The Administration's bill, in-
troduced by Rep. James Roosevelt
(D-Calif) would raise the wage
minimum to $1.15 now and $1.25
two years later. It would take in
about 4.3 million more workers.
Roosevelt offered similar pro-
posal last. year.
With the introduction of the
Kitchin-Ayres bill the situation in
the House now closely parallels
that of last year. The Republican-
southern Democratic coalition at
that time succeeded in substitut-
ing the Kitchin-Ayres bill for
Roosevelt's by an 8-vote margin.
There will be .a major' differ-
ence, however, if a House-Senate
conference is needed once again
to iron out differences between the
bills of the two bodies.

Rebel Areas
LEOPOLDVILLE (AP) - United
Nations experts disregarded the
Congolese government yesterday
and authorized the shipment of,
money and gasoline to the block-

and Kivu to stave off famine and
economic disaster.
Victor Umbrichtj Swiss presi-
dent of the Congo Monetary

which has been trying to bring
down the Communist-backed re-

New York Approves Aid
To Private College Students
ALBANY () - Newfork state's legislature approved yesterday a
unique, $26-million program offering nearly every New Yorker at-
tending private colleges in the state from $100 to $800 a year to help
pay his tuition.
The program, steeped in a church-state controversy since Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller proposed it last Jan. 31, was passed by the
assembly, 120-26, and sent to Rockefeller for his signature. Both
Republicans and Democrats join-t>
what is constitutional," Rep. Ro-
bert E. Waldron (R -Grosse
Pointe) said. "I have introduced
a bill which will make it absolutely
unconstitutional. I think it is al-,
ready unconstitutional."
His point of view was countered
by Arthur Johnson, executive sec-
retary of the Detroit branch of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. "The
problem is not whether 'Rule Nine'
is constitutional . . . Is is the
problem of segregation."
Question of Authority
The "most meritorious question"
raised by "Rule Nine," Prof. Paul
G. Kauper of the Law School
said, is whether the rule is within
the limits of the legislative statute
which.rauthorizes the Michigan
Corporation and Securities Com-
mission, originator of the rule, -to
establish standards of "faircon-
duct" for real estate brokers.
He criticized the rule on the
basis of its being an administra-
tive, rather than a legislative rul-
ing.
Lawrence Gubow, head of the
Commission, emphasized that
"equality in all aspects is an im-
portant responsibility of the state
of Michigan." He emphasized the
"point system" used by brokers
in Grosse Pointe as "a screenin'g
system to winnow out undesirable
people" who sought residence
there.
Dual Unfairness
Gubow used the Grosse Pointe
system as an example of a dual
unfairness apparent in many
Michigan communities including
Ann Arbor:
1) Unfairness to those seeking
residence in the area.
2) Unfairness to non-discrImi-
nating brokers who are denied the
right to belong to the brokers as-
sociation.
But "'Rule Nine,'" he adds,
"deals with the right of licensed
salesmen to limit trade," not with
who should be allowed to live in
a given place.
He further asserted that "we are
answerable only to God for (our'
own) discriminatory practices."
"60 per cent of the non-white'
population of America live in sub-
standard housing,' Johnson said.
"Negroes are unable to move out'
of the social ghetto . . . because
of discrimination such as the
Grosse Pointe screening system.
No one can be said to be free un-
less he can freely choose where
he will live," Johnson said.

it was an effort to circumvent a
constitutional ban on state aid to
sectarian schools.
Students at church-affiliated
schools would be eligible for the
grants, along with students at
non-secretarian private schools.
Under the plan, the first pay-

Rathbone Notes Neglect of Poetry in World Writing
By BARBARA PASH
Catholic
Sees.
"Poetry is a neglected portion of international literature," Basil
Rathbone lamented during his Ann Arbor visit yesterday.
The British actor who appeared here in a one-man presentation,
"The Best from My Brookshelf," expressed surprise at the lack of
knowledge most people have about poetry.
"Each age produced its great poets: from Chaucer and Shake-
speare through Shelley and Keats to Dylan Thomas, he said. "In fact,
I believe that Thomas will be known as the greatest poeet of the 20th
century,
"However, just because I read poetry, I am by no means an intel-
lectual. I loathe intellectuals."
Students Know Little
College students in particular seem to know very little about
poetry, Rathbone added. "One of the main reasons I like to perform
for college audiences is that I feel I can impart some of this glorious
literature to them."
Rathbone believes that audience identification is the ultimate.
determinant of whether a performance will succeed or fail. "I try to
create the intimate atmosphere I want by asking the audience to help
me," he explained.
One method of achieving this desired mood is by using as few
props as possible. Rathbone employs'only a candle, a table, a chair,
and a music stand.
Prefers Live Stage
The actor said that he prefers the live stage to the motion picture
