Eisenhower. A high administration official, who asked to remain anonymous, said President John F. Kennedy takes full responsibility for whatever decisions were made to back last week's unsuccessful effort to topple the Fidel Castro regime. Kennedy has no intention or desire to share this responsibility with Eisenhower, the official said. Spoke to Newsmen He spoke to newsmen after one of Kennedy's cabinet officers, Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall, told a Sunday radio-TV Saudience that the anti-Castro Mutinous French Generals Meet : -. . .. . ...

Reed, 44-years-old, had been Wilson's assistant since 1951 and was associated with Big Ten af- fairs for 12 years before that. He holds his bachelor and law degrees from the University. He was sports editor of The Daily in 1935-36. Wilson, stepping down after 16 years at the helm of the nation's leading athletic conference, reach- ed his 65th birthday a month ago and thus will retire this summer. The league presidents chose Reed, on the recommendation of a special faculty subcommittee that reported at the March meeting six weeks ago. However, the secret was guarded until the presidents could reach a unanimous decision. The newly-appointed commis- sioner worked with the Univer- sity's athletic publicity depart- ment briefly before moving on to the Big Ten. Reed, a native of Oxford, will take over July 1, at a yearly sal- ary of $20,000. He is the third Big Ten commissioner. A mmistrator Notes Policy Differences By MICHAEL OLINICK A University administrator yes- terday declined to criticize Michi- gan State University's 'frozen lev- el' admissions plan, but stressed that our policy is based on "a dif- ferent philosophy" of education. "The University has always ac- cepted as many students as it felt it could educate in a quality manner," Byron Groesbeck,, as- sitant director of admissions, said. MSU's plan, which would hold the admission standards it uses today fixed for four years, is "just a restatement of their past inten- tions to accept as many qualified applicants as apply." An admissions policy is formu- lated on four variables; number of applicants, size of faculty and, facilities; quality of education and the selectiveness of admissions, Groesbeck explained. "Any three of them can be re- garded as independent, but once they are chosen, the fourth is de- termined," he said. According to Groesbeck's formu- la, if facilities and faculty are not increased as more and more operation was conceived in the Ei- senhower administration and car- ried out under Kennedy. Udal's statementnbrought a protest from Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Il- linois who said "the President ought to discipline Udall for what he said." Meanwhile, Francis Cardinal Spellman joined the list of Ha- vana Radio's targets yesterday, as new streams of invective pour- ed across the air waves. Prelate Described The New York prelate was de- scribed as "the cardinal of the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the North Arerican monopolists." He was also called shameless and cynical. The Cuban radio's anger stem- med from a "pastoral letter of sorrow" written by the Cardinal and read from the pulpit of St. Patrick's Cathedral. It accused the Castro government of betraying the revolution that brought it to power. Spellman Tells Some months ago Cardinal Spellman told newsmen he would be happy to contribute to a fund for a medical examination of Cas- tro, indicating he felt the Cuban prime minister needed psychiatric treatment. The Cuban government last night continued televised question- ing of captured rebel invaders, who apparently believe they will be shot when the propaganda marathon ends. The first prisoner to be inter- rogated indicated in his answers to a panel of Cuban newsmen that the captives know they are doom- ed. "All men have to die and I am not afraid," the prisoners said in the Havana telecast monitored at Key West. Court Upholds States' Right To Use Oath WASHINGTON ()-A sharply- divided Supreme Court ruled yes- terday that states may deny the right of practicing law to those who refuse to say whether they belong to the Communist Party. By a 5-4 vote, the court upheld California and Illinois in refusing to admit applications to the bar. The Court also split 5-4 in hold- ing that New York may disbar an attorney for refusing to answer questions in a judicial inquiry into ambulance chasing. - Justice John M. Harlan wrote the majority opinions in the three cases. Voting with him were Jus- tices Felix Frankfurter, Tom Clark, Charles Whittaker and Potter Stewart. The dissenters were Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justices Hugo Black, William O. Douglas and William J. Brennan. Harlan said the Fourteenth Amendment's protection "does not forbid a state from denying ad- mission to a bar applicant so long as he refuses to provide unprivi- leged answers to questions having a substantial relevance to his qual- ifications."

Reservists were alerted for a call to duty in France.

Dillon told a news conference that the nation can look forward to a considerable period of rela- tively easy credit even though the economy appears to be moving into an upturn. The Treasury chief said that since the administration first tried to promote lower mortgage rates, interest on home loans has drop- ped by one-fourth of one per cent to about six per cent. He said that a further cut of between one- fourth and one-half of one per cent would 'have quite an effect on building-on private residen- tial construction." Asked how he would view any attempt by banks to increase their prime lending rate - about four per cent - Dillon said, Dillon said the administration and the Federal Reserve Board see the interest rate situation "in identical fashion." other than our basic beliefs; when the Peace Corps office and Con- gress disagree with our ideals about the peace corps, we must fight them." Specifically he said that the peace corps, to operate justly and efficiently, must work through, back and strengthen the United Nations. Continue Study Further, he urged the group to continue some form of study program. His suggestions for future areas of study and action are: proposals for United Nations university training program control, Univer- sity curricula changes to better prepare future peace corps mem- bers, a letter to inform faculty members on happenings related to the peace corps, a foreign stu- dent poll, and the relation of the peace corps to such programs as the White Fleet and Food for Peace. a one-hour solidarity strike that spread across the nation. Jet fighters were alerted to shoot down any unauthorized planes appearing in French skies. Police raiders swept down on suspected right-wingers, and some French army officers were re- ported arrested in the roundup. Border police at Strasbourg were said to have picked up two officers from French forces in Germany who were trying to get to Algeria. Reports reaching Paris told of serious air force and naval op- position to the junta. The air force said nine planes from Al- geria flew in to join loyal units at an unnamed French air base.

Refusal of the air force in Al- geria to go along with the uprising could be a serious blow to junta leader Gen. Maurice Challe, him- self an air force officer. Feinstein Attacks Rationale For 'Yankee Imperialism' By DENISE WACKER "The position of Yankee imperialism often lacks the power of reason," Prof. Otto Feinstein of Wayne State University's Montieth College said, speaking on the myth or reality of Yankee imperialism. "Itis a question of myth or reason with which we are concerned. Too often 'imperialism' is a slogan with nothing behind it." Feinstein Notes Prof. Feinstein noted that there are four primary directions in which a nation may grow. The first of these is agrarian, and it is "important in social revolutions as witnessed in Mexico at the turn y>of the century." In nearly all Pierce Calls Insurrection 0 Is 'Surprisin'. By GLORIA BOWLES Prof. Roy Pierce of the political science department said last night that "the boldness of the army insurrection in French Algeria came as a surprise, but the army officers who attempted the coup were out of touch with reality. "The strength, that President Charles de Gaulle has been able to muster indicates that an over- whelming majority of metropolitan France is supporting his policies of self-determination for Algeria." Soldiers Defy "It is difficult to see that the soldiers will be able to defy the overwhelming sentiment in France," 1rof. Pierce said. He expects the French to remain loyal to de Gaulle. President de Gaule's policy of "self-determination" for Algeria has been generally well-received in France, although it is un- popular with rightest groups. These groups maintain that de Gaulle is allowing Algeria more freedom than it is ready to accept responsibly. The revolt's immediate effect will be to bring a halt in the pro- gress toward negotiation until the question of army loyalty can be resolved, he said. Prof. Piecre also noted that the insurrection will have long-range results. If de Gaulle is successful in putting down the revolt, "his standing among the Algerian na- tionalists (FLN) will be enhanced." Become Cautious "At the same time, the FLN will be increasingly cautious about a settlement of French difficul- ties that involves the presence of the French army." A similar military uprising in Algeria in 1958 was the immediate cause of the toppling of the Fourth Republic, but Pierce does not think the 1961 revolt will spell the end of the Fifth Republic. "The government policy on Al- geria was not clear then, but de Gaulle has a policy now, and, in addition, his government has won the support of the French people." Union Asked To Arbitrate Charles Action The Development Council will ask the American Federation of Musicians to seek the refund of the full ticket price of the Ray Charles concert, Richard L. Ken- nedy, council representative, said yesterday, He said the union will be asked to serve as an intermediary be- tween the council and Ray Charles enterprises. "We are writing the union because direct legal action seems impractical at this time." The letter does not deprive the council qf its legal right to sue at a later date, however. In addition to ticket prices, the ALTER TOUR: 'U' Band To Perform in, Jerusalem JERUSALEM (P)-The Univer- sity Symphony Band was booked to perform yesterday in this Bibli- cal city. The band gave its first concert in Jordan Sunday at the 2,000- year-old Roman Amphitheater in Amman. Prof. William D. Revelli of the music school and his 94 musicians were enthusiastically applauded by the audience of 4,000 sitting on ancient stone seats. The concert was under the pa- tronage of the Jordanian social affairs minister and was attended by the United States Ambassador, several cabinet ministers and members of the diplomatic corps. Revelli and the band arrived in Amman Saturday from Cairo. They will give another concert to- countries there is a movement from the rural to urban centers~ The workers who move to cities often are forced to live in slums or "hodgepodge conditions." Connected with this is the ap- pearance of a new working class, who instigate trade unions which can exert political force in coun- tries in which the governments are either overdependent on them or attempt to repress their growth. "There is also the force of na- tionalist movements which we can witness in Africa today." These four growth patterns have difficulties because of imperial- ism, Prof. Feinstein concluded. No Argument James Robertson, national exec- utive committee member of the Young Socialist Alliance, admit- ted there was "no great argu- ment over context and analysis."
