LXXI, No. 144 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1961 FIVE CENTS SIX PAGES Official Reports Angolans Revolt U.S. Message Gave Early Warning Of Possible Rebellion in Colony WASHINGTON (IP)-A high United States official said yesterday thousands have been killed in a revolt in Angola in the past two weeks and that the United States had warned Portugal of an upheaval in its African colony. The United States official, who did not allow use of his name or direct quotation, said the American warning was in a tactful message to Portugal prior to the recent United Nations General Assembly vote in which the United States joined in recommending steps for inde- pendence of Angola. The official said the United States note pointed out to Portugal in friendly terms that while Portugal, a United States North Atlantic ISUBalks at Proposed Fee Increase SGC Views Loyalty Oath Kenneth McEldowney, '62, will ask Student Government Council tonight to forward a National Stu- dent Association resolution abol- ishing loyalty oaths and disclaimer affidavits to President John F. Kennedy and to certain congress- men as an active endorsement of the resolution. The measure urges deletion of a section of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 which re- quires that students and faculty members applying for federal aid must sign disclaimer affidavits. Demands Repeal It also demands repeal of state and local laws requiring loyalty oaths and affidavits 'of students and faculty seeking employment at institutions of higher learning. McEldowney's motion stipulates that copies of the NSA resolution and SGC's endorsement be sent to all Michigan representatives and senators, the House Committee on Education and Labor, University President Harlan Hatcher, the NSA and President Kennedy be- " fore Congress votes on revision of the NDEA bill within "the coming month. To Discuss Corps SGC will gQ into committee-of- the-whole session to "discuss the Peace Corps and possible Council action in this area" with Alan and Judith Guskin, Grads., leaders of the Peace Corps movement on this campus, and to discuss restructure of the Council. Executive Vice - President Per Hanson, '62, will present a motion "demanding that the president of SGC moderate a pro-con debate" concerning distortion of the film "Operation Abolition." The .Coun- cil last week approved a program including a showing of the film, the debate to follow. ally, is dependent on her colonies for trade benefits, she could not expect to hold on to Angola and Mozambique. The United States message told Portugal that an explosion was due, this official said, and trouble did occur. He said more people have died in Angola in the past fortnight than in Cuba and Laos combined. Indonesians Weant Visit WASHINGTON (P)-Indonesian diplomatic sources said yesterday President and Mrs. John F. Ken- nedy have accepted an invitation from President Sukarno to visit Indonesia. However, the date of the offi- cial visit has been left open. The invitation-but not the ac- ceptance-was mentioned public- ly by Sukarno in a farewell talk before boarding his chartered jet airliner for Mexico City. Vice-President Lyndon B. John- son who represented Kennedy at the departure ceremonies said that as of this moment there are no definite plans for his own visit to the Far East. Kennedy and Sukarno issued a joint statement yesterday after their two days of meetings. Sig- nificantly, the communique made no mention of the dispute between Indonesia and the Netherlands over Dutch-held West New Gui- nea. Instead, the communique said that both leaders "strongly and unreservedly" support the goal of a neutral and independent Laos and that both recognize that the newly independent nations of Asia and Africa "must be alert to any attempts to subvert their cherish- ed freedom by means of imperial- ism in all its manifestations." Seeks More Government Finance Aid By The Associated Press LANSING -- Michigan State University trustees will not go along with a proposed increase in student fees, MSU President John A. Hannah told the House Ways and Means Committee here yes- terday. University representatives will go before the committee tomor- row to add their plea for added funds to MSU's. (The Regents decided at their meeting last week that they would not consider raising tuition at the University next year, but Wayne State University's Board of Governors decided to take no stand on the issue of a tuition hike at WSU.) To Appear WSU representatives will ap- pear before the committee today. Committee deliberations must be over Friday, as this is the last day that bills may be reported out of committees to the floor of the House. Hannah told the committee that at least five of the trustees said they would resist the fee increases suggested by the Senate earlier as a source of additional income for the institutions. Suggest Raise The Senate appropriations com- mittee suggested raising fees $20 a year for instate students and $150 a year for out-of-state stu- dents. Hannah quoted trustees as say- ing they would not raise fees again since they were increased last year. "That means you will cut your- self out of about $1 million for operating expenses," warned Rep. Arnell Engstrom (R - Traverse City), committee chairman. Request Trimmed Michigan State asked for $37.5 million for operating expenses in the next fiscal year. Swainson trimmed it to $31.5 million and the Senate cut it to $29.6 mil-j lion with the fee increase recom- mendation. (Other state institutions includ- ing the University suffered sim- ilar cuts in their requests.) Hannah predicted MSU enroll-i ments would jump from 22,5001 this year to 25,300 in the fall. "We are now as selective in ad- missions as we dare be," he said.I "Now we are turning down some students we know could make the grade in college. Our standards are1 getting higher although our tra- dition has been that we wouldt never turn down a qualified in-j state student." The Senate-recommended fig- ure allows a $938 appropriationI per student, the MSU president said, compared to $1,061 in 1957.t Propose UN Unit For Peace Corps UNITED NATIONS WP) - Thea United States proposed yesterdayf that the United Nations broadena the scope of President John F.b Kennedy's Peace Corps plan.

Rebels In Algeria INDEPENDENCE: Algerian Student Sees Peace. Hope By PETER STEINBERGER The defeat of the insurrectionist French generals means that the Algerian independence will come sooner, a student from Algeria said yesterday. Noureddin Ait-Laoussine, a stu- dent in the English Language In- stitute, said that the failure of the army rebellion showed that the majority of the. French people supported independence for Al- geria. "If they started the revolutioni, it was because they thought all the French would be with them,'' he said. "Their failure proves that the French are behind de Gaulle and want an independent Algeria. * * SResolution To Invite lis Dies in Senate Comm11ttee A resolution to invite a member of the House Un-American Ac- tivities Committee to address the State Legislature on the anti-Com- munist film "Operation Abolition" was defeated by the Senate Business Committee yesterday. The Senate Committee refused to bring the proposal to the floor of the Legislature. Sponsors of the measure had hoped to bring Rep. r Edwin E. Willis (D-La) to Lans- Applicants, To 'U' Drop The University is attracting fewer freshman applicants but they are more qualified ones, as- sistant director of admissions By- ron Groesbeck said yesterday. Although the total number of applications submitted this year for -entrance in the literary col- lege is below the figure for last year, the percentage of qualified applicants is five to 10 per cent higher. Groesbeck attributed the change in figures to better counseling in high schools and an "image of a quality and competitive univer- sity" created by many popular magazines. Seniors Warned "Secondary schools, aware of our high standards, are warning un- qualified seniors not to waste their time or hopes in applying to the University," Groesbeck said. Discussing the role of magazines in popularizing the University, Groesbeck said "They pictureius as a high level academic institu- tion where students really con - centrate on studies. Thus the less ambitious 'intellectuals' turn to schools where the learning process is a little more relaxed." Groesbeck said that the Uni- versity has tentatively closed off admissions to literary college freshmen. About 2,500 Michigan and out-of-state students have been accepted with an expectation that 2,100 will actually enroll. Little change in freshmen enroll- ment is contemplated. Waiting List Since March 1, when admissions to the literary college were closed off, the University has set up a "waiting list" for qualified appli- cants. If higher than usual attri- tion rate affects the 2,500 accepted students, those on the waiting list may be admitted, Groesbeck said. " he failure of the revolt is a big step toward independence," he said. "The greatest opposition to independence comes from the paratroops and the foreign legion -for them the war is a matter of prestige. Now, he predicted, de Gaulle will withdraw the paratroops from the African territory. National Liberation Front "In any event," he added, "the National Liberation Front (FLN) will fight until independence." Ait-Laoussine predicted that the failure of the revolt would cause the French colonials to feel weak- er. "They'll have to understand," he said, "that negotiation with the FLN is the only way left for them." Surprising Speed He admitted that though he was sure of the eventual defeat of the insurrectionist army units, the speed of the defeat had surprised him. "If they had really wanted to invade France, as they said they did, they would have done so on the first day. They were sur- rounded by the alerted armies of Morrocco and Tunisia, which were ready to defend the Algerian mos- lems, as well as themselves, from attack by the army. "De Gaulle can now demonstrat his good intentions by resuming negotiations with the, Algerian (rebel). provisional government. The French armies must be with- drawn before free elections can be held. Now that the insurrec- tion has been defeated, de Gaulle will be more ready to do this." Army Loyal Ait-Laoussine noted that because so few of the 700,000-800,000 man French army in Algeria had joined with Generals Salan and Challe, there was added hope that the army would no longer be an ob- stacle to peace settlements. He also called for recognition of the Algerian rebel armies as. official and legal entities as a necessary step toward deciding the territory's future. "The French army will with- draw between the ceasefire and the referendum," he said, "and after that the elections can be free. Still, there is no doubt of the Algerians wish for independ- ence."

Meisenbach, a 23-year-old Uni- versity of California student, is charged with assaulting a police- man, the action which the prose- cution contends started the fra- cas. Four preceding defense wit- nesses insisted they saw no stu- dent hit patrolman Ralph E. Schaumleffel over the headhwith his own night stick as the prose- cution charges. The defense contends Schaum- leffel slipped on the wet marble floor and bumped his head. Elwood Murray, a 29-year-old high school teacher, corroborated Meisenbach's story that he stum- bled. over a police billy during the melee and tossed it out of his path as he was trying to leave the city hall. Murray said he watched from behind a pillar while police "hosed and pulled people away, dragging them by the neck."
