THE MICHIGAN DAILY Fo ~~ U nsfield To Begin Fight rennedy Wage Bill IL ,A IL , ,iAsk Increase Plan Meets Mixed Reaction' I' (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles which through the opinions of University faculty members will. examine the accomplishmnents, problems, and most significant issues on "The New Frontier.") By CAROLINE DOW Mixed but generally favorable reaction has met the blitz of do- mestic economic measures pro- posed by President John F. Ken- nedy's task forces and recently presented 'to Congress. A bill which provided emergen- cy extension of unemployment benefits has already passed both the House and Senate while a revised version of Kennedy's min- imum wage bill received House approval Friday. Measures for tax revision, distribution of surplus food to unprosperous areas, hous- ing construction, conservation of natural resources and redevelop- ment of depressed areas are being drafted for this Congressional ses- sion. Cautious View Viewing these actions cautious- ly, Prof. J. .P. Wernette of the business school said, "It's obvious that there is more energetic lead- ership in the White House, ho-7 wise it is, is another thing. The, change must be for the better to bo good. Kennedy's ability to mobilize in- telligence in a working "brain trust" is one of his major assets in pushing forward his "New Frontier,"' Wernette continued. Task forces of experts had most of the preliminary research done before Kennedy took office. Prof. William Haber of the economics department a~nd Prof. Wilber J. Cohen of the school of social work were among those called, Prof. Koreans Riot Against Chang SEOUL (AP)-Nearly 10,000 South Koreans in three major cities de- manded Premier John M. Chang's resignation yesterday, the fourth straight day of anti-government demonstrations. Unlike, the previous days, yes- terday's crowds were orderly. They were incensed at two gov- ernment security bills submitted to the national assembly. The gov- ernment claims they are neces- sary to control Communist activi-' ties and unruly demonstrations. Harvey Brazer of the economics department said. Kennedy Boss But Kennedy calls the plays, "there is only one view in the White House and he doesn't dis- agree with himself," Prof. Braver asserted. Following the task force re- ports, permanent consulting groups were amassed, such as the labor- management consulting commit- tee and Council of Economic Ad- visers. Undersecretaries such as Prof. Cohen for Health, Education and Welfare and Prof. Stanley Surrey of Harvard for 'the Treas- ury were given permanent posi- tions and are "drafting bills at a tremendous rate," Prof. Harvey Brazer of the economics depart- ment reported. Surrey js currently formulating Kennedy's tax message which will probably contain provisions for equalizing taxes by cutting out loopholes as well as bills to en- courage business recovery. Sees Tax Drop Most observers predict measures for lower taxes on factory equip- menu and a temporary reduction of taxes to pull consumer buying out of the current slump will also arise, "To an increasing degree, Ken- nedy's decisions must be determin- ed by the economic facts of life," Prof. Clare E. Griffen of the busi- ness school said. Pointing out that to raise the minimum wage will aggravate the immediate un employment problem, Griffen said he disagreed with many of Kenne- dy's policies. Asks Change Tax revision should make more liberal allowances. for equipment depreciation, he continued. It is not desirable to reduce taxes if it will increase the deficit. Kennedy's plans for developing the nation's natural resources were challenged by Griffen, who is "in favor of letting private initiative do the developing wher- ever possible. Kennedy's propos- ed plan will probably place empha- sis on federal projects. There seems to be little opposi- tion to Kennedy's recommenda- tions for aiding depressed areas. "Anything which encourages in- dustry is good for the country, Griffen said. Redevelopmenta The skeleton of the depressed area plan calls for redevelopment of an area to attract industry, re-1 training of those with obsolete, skills, moving surplus labor to, other areas and maintaining the stricken areas in the meantime. TYPEWRITER ' SALE OVERBECK'S BOOKSTORE In Minimum For, Workers Labor Committee Completes Hearings WASHINGTON RP) -Majority leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) promised yesterday a fight in the Senate to pass a minimum wage bill "substantially along the lines requested by President John F. Kennedy." But other Senators said privately administration supporters face a tough uphill struggle to restore key provisions of the Kennedy bill rejected Friday by the House. In the first major legislative defeat for the new President in the Democratic-controlled Con- gress, Southern Democrats and Northern Republicans combined to put over by a single vote, 186-185, a substitute, for a last-minute compromise offered by adminis- tration backers. The decision was then pinned down by a 216-203 roll call. The House then passed and sent to the Senate a bill to raise mini- mum wages for some 24 million Wvorkers now covered from the pre- sent $1 an hour to $1.15. It re- stricted new coverage from an es- timated 1.1 million workers who would get a $1 minimum with no overtime pay required. The administration bill would lift the present $1 wage to $1.15 within 120 days after passage, to: $1.20 a year from then and to $1.25 after two years. A Senate labor subcommitteel under Sen. Pat McNamara (D- Mich) has completed hearings on the Kennedy bill and handed it without change to the full 15- member parent committee. UNMayAsk For Recall Of Belgians UNITED NATIONS (P) - Sev- eral African and Asian delegations are expected to propose.next week that the United Nations General Assembly call for the quick with- drawal of Belgian military men and political advisers from the Congo. Sources within the 46-nation Asian-African group expressed be- lief yesterday that this would turn out to be a leading point in a resolution the group will meet tomorrow to draft. The meeting will follow a continuation of the Assembly's debate on the Congo crisis, started last Tuesday by Soviet request. The informants said they were hopeful the resolution would pass the 99-nation assembly, to back up a demand for Belgian with- drawal issued Feb. 21 by the 11- nation Security Council. Belgium has agreed to call Belgian citizens back from the Congo who are subject to military duty at home. But she has insisted that the Congolese have a right to hire Belgianpolitical advisers if they like. Some members of the Asian- African group have been putting together ideas for a resolution based on this week's report of the United Nations conciliation com- mission for the Congo. The group probably will turn the job of drafting, a proposal over to its steering committee. SEATO To Meet on Laos Issue BANGKOK, Thailand (A)- Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza- tion foreign ministers open a cru- cial meeting here tomorrow that could decide whether there will be peace or war in Laos. The diplomats, still awaiting Soviet response to peace proposals, will consider a defense plan drawn up by SEATO's military strate- gists, who favor strengthening the anti - Communist pact's fighting power to resist Red aggression. Charge Aggression The Laotian government charged today Communist aggression con- tinues. Communist North Viet- namese invaders have captured a government outpost at Lac Sao in central Laos and scattered the defenders, a Royal army source said. Fifty North Vietnamese troops, members of six battalions the gov- ernment claims have invaded Laos, were killed in the assault. Govern- ment losses were undetermined, the report said. The United States State Depart- ment announced in Washington that an American C47 transport plane assigned in Laos has been missing for two days with eight men aboard. Path Unknown A spokesman said it is not known if the airplane, which left Vienti- ane Thursday morning for Saigon, flew over rebel-controlled territory or was fired on by the Commun- ists. Reliable sources said 17 techni- cians from the United States Army's 25th Division based in Hawaii arrived in Bangkok for an undisclosed destination. The United States has confirmed that a marine maintenance unit of about 150 men has moved into Udorn, in northern Thailand, to service helicopters supplying the Royal Laotian Army. And,. units of the US. 7th Fleet were on the move in Far Eastern waters. List Developments As the foreign ministers began arriving in Bangkok, these devel- opments were apparent: 1. The Kennedy administration's new "hard line" on Laos may re- sult in SEATO acceptance of a concrete proposal toward meeting the Laotian crisis through military, means if the Communists refuse steps toward diplomatic settle- ment. 2. The United States already is taking precautionary steps toward possible military intervention the situation, now described "dangerous," should deteriorate SEATO has pledged to come the aid of Laos if it asks for he and Western members of the pa have left no doubt they intend honor their obligation. The talks bring together Uni ed States Secretary of State Dea Rusk, and foreign ministers Britain, France, Pakistan, Tha land, Australia, New Zealand an the Philippines. Meanwhile, Indian defense min ister V. K. Krishna Menon sa in New York yesterday he hope the Laos crisis will "settle down He denied a report that he wou present a United Nations resoli tion on the situation. i I' ee / eai[er I in a new Spring outfit from S PROF. J. P. WERNETTE ...cautious on Kennedy "Another point of view is that society and the economy is so complex that the government cannot stay out," Eugene N. Fein- gold of the political science de- partment said. "The mild and modified program of Kennedy may not get at the heart of the prob- lems. His measures are stop-gap in the sense that they answer the immediate problem of unem- ployment. "Sen. Harry Byrd's (D-Va) op- position to Kennedy's measures are powerful as he is chairman of the finance committee which is strong enough to weaken but not to destroy them. Their fear is for future action rather than of these definite bills," he said. U.S., Russia Announce Successful Launchings By The Associated Press Both the United States and the Soviet Union yesterday announced successful space probes-the U.S. with the triumphant orbiting of Explorer X and the Russians with the rocketing of another dog around the world and its later recovery. Explorer X, a high-flying space laboratory, spun into orbit to make the most extensive study ever attempted of mysterious magnetic fields and solar winds. Its findings, which will take months to analyze, will help chart the safest route for man to follow on future jour- n' 7- ".

C., naval station to avoid racial barriers in the city proper. The proposed solution of 'the hot racial controversy was announced by Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, com- mission chairman and grandson of the Civil War general. He said it was in compliance with President John F. Kennedy's anti-discrimi- nation policies. The five state centennial com- missions of New Jersey, Califor- nia, New York, Wisconsin and Il- linois had withdrawn from the meeting because of segregated fa- cilities in Charleston. The annual assembly will be held during cere- monies commemorating the firing on Ft. Sumter 100 years ago. ACCRA, Ghana - President Kwame Nkrumah says he has been "very impressed with the dynamic approach to African problems" shown by President John F. Ken- nedy's administration.

The 78-pound satellite, which looks much like an old-fashioned potato masher, zipped away from Cape Canaveral at 10:17 a.m. in the nose of a Thor-Delta rocket. The three-stage Douglas-devel- oped, vehicle performed like clock- work, propelling the payload into orbit at a speed of more than 24,000 miles an hour. Several hours later, Explorer X, its speed reduced considerably, was report- ed penetrating deeper into space toward its intended high altitude point of 123,000 miles. The space package is expected to reach this goal about 5 p.m. tomorrow, then will start swipg- ing back toward the earth on its fist planned 4 -day orbit pass.

Rh~odesia Head Decries Blocs" KITWE, Northern Rhodesia (AP) -Sir Roy Welensky, prime min- ister of the Central African Fed- eration (the Rhodesias and Nyasa- land) warned yesterday that the British Commonwealth has begun to have the same danger as the United Nations-there are power blocs growing up inside It. Welensky said there is now a trend which he said would lead Commonwealth leaders at future conferences to split and concen- trate more on dealing with things in which they had common cause. or 11 coats dresses and the perfect accessories to complete your Easter outfit Pre 'holid'y SUPPER CLUB Tonight at 6 with SOCIAL DANCING 1429 Hill Street MAI N&o LIBERTY . rw 1 . } 3 . , ., # > .t rrfs # ' '' ' a, "p '4 t ~ .. 5 . er _ v . .. 1216 So.
