Ask Changes,
In Filibuster
WASHINGTON ()- Southern
Senators who have banked on their
filibustering powers under present
Senate rules to help them fight
civil rights legislation got some
bad news yesterday.
It came from Sen. Mike Mans-
field (D-Mont), the Senate ma-
jority leader, who said he favors
allowing 60 senators to cut off a
filibuster.
Mansfield said that before Con-
gress adjourns a proposed change
in Senate rules will be brought up
for action.
Supports Cloture
Furthermore, he said that i
necessary to bring such a change
to a vote, he will support a move
to force debate to a halt.
'Even though I do not believe in
cloture (debate limitation), I will
do it on this occasion," he said.
And to top it all off, Mansfield
said he understands Sen. Everett
M. Dirksen (R-Ill), the Senate
minority leader, is prepared to
take the lead in attempting to cut
off any filibuster against a change
in rules.
Two-Thirds Vote Needed,
At present it takes the votes of
two-thirds of the senators present
and voting, or 67 votes if all 10
Senators are on hand, to put a
time limit on, debate and bring a
filibuster to an end.
Civil rights advocates of both
parties long have argued a two-
thirds majority is virtually im-
possible to obtain. At the start of
the present session of Congress,
they waged an unsuccesful fight
to change the rule.
Mansfield resisted the move to
battle out the issue at that time,
on the ground that such a scrap
would delay action on President
John F. Kennedy's legislative pro-
gram.
State Budget
Causes Worry
By GLORIA BOWLES
State Democratic leaders, gath-
ered in Detroit this weekend, ex-
pressed their concern over Re-
publican failure to meet the Gov-
ernor's budget request.
"This vote is very sad," Sec-
retary of State James Hare said.
"But after being there Friday
night when the votes were taken,
I'm not very optimistic about a
change in this budget. The Re-
publicans have the 56 votes, there
is nothing we can do," he added.
Neil Staebler, former Michigan
party chairman who is presently
a national committeeman, also
called the legislative vote "sad."
But Staebler said, "There is still
hope for increased appropria-
State Treasurer Sandford Brown
said, "The Governor and the ad-
ministrative board asked for what
we thought we needed and we're
just going to have to accept this
decision."

AADAC Pickets Stores
On Campus, Downtown
By DENISE WACKER and BUEL TRAPNELL
Twenty-five picketers took part yesterday in a two and one-half
hour demonstration sponsored by the Ann Arbor Direct Action Com-
mittee, local affiliate of the National Congress of Racial Equality,
at both the campus and downtown Kresge stores.
"Kresge's refusal to act on a promise made to the-national CORE
to integrate a store in New Orleans was one of the reasons for the
4 demonstrations at both" stores,"
PROF SLOBODKIN
receives honor
Grant Award
To Slobodkin
The career of Associate Prof.
Lawrence Slobodkin- ecologist,
teacher, globe-trotting researcher
-was honored yesterday with the
Henry Russell Award, the highest
award the University gives to a
faculty member of his rank.
University President Harlan
Hatcher yesterday made the award
which officially recognizes "con-
spicuous service to the University."
It is given each year to a faculty
member whose teaching skills and
scholarship are outstanding and
hold promise for the future.
It also carries a $750 stipend for
Prof. Slobodkin, who is formally
registered as a member of the
zoology department.
On the University faculty since
1953, Prof. Slobodkin is widely
known for his research and writ-
ings in population dynamics. He
has lectured before- scientific
groups across the United States
and in England and Wales.
The honored professor will only
be available on campus for one
semester next year for he will
spend June to September 1962 lec-
turing and gathering research ma-
terials in Israel. A United States
Educational Exchange Grant will
take him to the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem where he will lecture,
"in English, at first," a graduate
course in ecology.I
The special faculty committee
which selected the scientist for
the award praised Prof. Slobod-
kin's "new theoretical and experi-
mental approach" toward problems
of population efficiencies and' his
work in setting up a series of gen-
eral zoology courses.
Zeller Surrenders
To Algiers Police
ALGIERS (JP)-Gen. Andre Zel-
Judith Yesner, Grad, spokesman
for AADAC-CORE said.
During the negotiations and
demonstrations on March 24,
Kresge officials said they would
work toward desegregation of their
remaining southern lunch coun-
ters.
Refuse Service
"They said we would have no
trouble at the New Orleans store,"
Miss Yesner said. "Although a test
team from New Orleans CORE
was served that day, upon revisit
six days later the store refused to
serve them."
Since there are other integrated
lunch counters in New Orleans,
CORE feels that Kresge officials
are not fulfilling their promise to
do everything possible to desegre-
gate all their counters. Segregated
lunch counters also remain in
Birmingham and Atlanta, Miss
Yesner said.
Half an hour after the CORE
demonstration ended, Rose Sipes,
Grad, began picketing. His sign
said "Let's Solve Our Own Prob-
lems; Are We So Weak That We
Need a Scapegoat" and "Let's
Keep Race Out of This-I Like
White People."
Pickets Alone
He picketed alone, and said he
opposed CORE's local demonstra-
tion because he. felt people should
be concerned with the problems
nearer home.
Sipes said he has no opinion on
the New Orleans segregation un-
der protest by CORE. He said there
are highly-trained men working
on the segregation issue;n"I am
not an authority and I don't want
to try to solve thetproblem."
He pointed out that he is in no
way protesting the CORE-spon-
sored group's right to picket-he
too was exercising this right.
Coffee and Donuts
When the CORE picketers first
began, Kresge's manager, R. L.
Matin, placed a sign in his win-
dow saying "Welcome All Students,
Regardless of Race - Creed - Color
or Picket Activities." Shortly after
this sign was put in the window,
Matin wheeled out a small table,
followed by coffee and donuts
which were offered "Free to Pick-
eters."
The picketers, however, would
not take the free food "for the
same reason we won't eat at a
Kresge lunch counter until they
are completely integrated," Miss
Yesner said.
The demonstration are being
held on a nationwide level in hopes
that the number of signatures on
petitions protesting Kresge's seg-
regated stores in the deep south
will reach 10,000 by May 12, the
date of the nation Kresge stock-
holder's meeting in Detroit.
Meeting Plans
CORE plans to protest at this
meeting with the hope that pres-
sure from people concerned with
segregated stores will be sufficient
to convince Kresge officials that
integration is necessary.
Kresge publically admitted that
picketing by such groups as CORE
caused a great loss to national
business last year.
Withdrawal
Announced
BySallade
George W. Sallade, '61L, former
state representative from Ann
Arbor, withdrew yesterday from
the Republican primary race for a
seat at the constitutional conven-
tion.
His decision leaves Prof. James
K. Pollock, chairman of the politi-
cal science department, as the
only candidate for delegate to the
constitutional convention from
Washtenaw County's First District.
"I would consider it unfair to
impose upon him the rigors of an
unnecessary and hard fought cam-
paign for this position," Sallade
said.
Sallade, who announced his can-
didacy on April 22, said that had
he known at that time that Prof.
Pollock "had made a definite deci-
sion to seek the position of dele-
gate, I would not have undertaken
even the circulating of nominating
petitions.
Prof. Pollock, termed "the father
of Michigan's civil service," an-
nounced his candidacy Wednesday.
Conservatives
Plan To Fight
Farming .Bill
WASHINGTON (P) - President
John F. Kennedy's big farm bill
seems to be in trouble in the
House.
Designed to cover every aspect
of agriculture and provide tools to
solve its problems, the bill has
drawn strong opposition from con-
servatives, both Democratic and
Republican.
They don't object to solving ag-
riculture's problems, but they
think the administration bill goes
about it in the wrong way. It is
more than likely the bill will not
emerg, from the House agriculture
committee in its present form.
What they object to mainly is
title 1.
Title 1 provides that farmer
advisory committees be selected
by the secretary of agrriculture.

CONGRESS:
Confusion
Surrounds
School Aid
WASHINGTON (JP)-President
John F. Kennedy's multi-billion
dollar program for helping United
States education is in danger of
foundering in a sea of confusion
in Congress.
Conflicting signals from the ad-
ministration, rivalries within the
House Education Committee and
the problem of what to do about
aiding parochial schools have
added a heavy burden to a pro-
gram that faces tough enough sail-
ing without them.
One complication is the splinter-
ing of the program into three
separate bills, one for $2.3 billion
for public elementary and high
schools, one for $2.4 billion for
colleges and a third, with unfixed
cost, for expanding the National
Defense Education Act.
Priority Question
The question of which should
have priority has caused dissension
within the House Education Com-
mittee, which is considering the
first two, and also between the
committee and the administration,
which reportedly wants the college
bill put ahead.
In the Senate, only the public
school bill has been taken up so
far. -
The main difficulty, however, is
the issue of federal aid to church
schools, which has been raised by
the demand of the Roman Cath-
olic hierarchy that parochial
schools share in any program
benefiting general education.
.. Take Cue.
Taking their cue from Kennedy,
administration spokesmen and
Kennedy supporters in Congress
first sought to keep the issue out
of the main program for fear it
might endanger hopes for passage.
But, faced with the certainty
that the matter will come up in
some fashion during debate on the
program, administration and con-
gressional strategists have sought
ways to diffuse the explosive issue.
In addition, the public school
and college bills are in difficulties
on other fronts. In the Senate edu-
cation committee there is disagree-
ment over the method of allocating
the money. The issue: should
poorer states get a larger propor-
tionate share than wealthy ones?
In the House the question
whether the college scholarship
program should be one of grants
or loans has split the EducatiQn
Committee down the middle.
Bursley Cites
Dissatisfaction
Rep. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann
Arbor) explained that he voted
for the budget which included the
University appropriations of $35.4
million "although I am disap-
pointed we are unable to appro-
priate more money."
"The colleges and universities
could effectively use more. I voted
for every one of the special taxes
proposed to make a bigger appro-
priation possible,," Bursley said.
"The only sensible thing to d'
is pass the budget. I hope next
year we will study the needs of
education and the entire tax
structure of Michigan, to do a
better job," he said.

that arranged the peace in Laos<
and other parts of Indochina.-
In Laos, the warring factions
made no progress in working out
details of the cease-fire both sides
called last Wednesday.
Associated Press correspondent
John Griffin reported from the
frontline village of Hin Heup that
negotiators for the royal army and
the pro-Communist Pathet Lao
rebels failed for a second time to
agree even on a site where perma-
nent delegations will meet.
Negotiators talked for 78 min-
utes in two tents, made of red and
white parachutes, set up on the
north bank of the Nam Lik River
at Hin Heup, 55 miles north of
Vientiane.
Future Meetings
Royal officers said future meet-
ings should be held in Hin Heup.
The rebels prefer Ban Namone, a
village five miles north and nearer
rebel territory. The negotiators
reached an impasse Friday on the
same issue.
The United States and Britain
have warned they will not attend
an international conference on
Laos, scheduled for May 12 in
Geneva, unless the control com-
mission verifies the shooting has
halted.
Fourteen nations have been in-
vited to the conference and Swiss
authorities are making arrange-
ments.
But Cambodia, which originally
suggested the meeting, has said it
will not attend because King Sa-
vang Vathana of Laos opposes the
conference and wants the Laotians
to settle their own problems.
Rusk Attends
NATO Talks
OSLO (M)--Secretary of State
Dean Rusk arrived in Norway last
night for a strategy meeting of the
Atlantic Alliance and warned that
security against tyranny depends
on. "our joint will and ability to
defend our freedom by force if
necessary.
The flight of American astro-
naut Alan B. Shepard, Jr., already
had brought hope and cheer for
Alliance foreign ministers assem-
bling to restore their battered
unity.
He expressed hope the confer-
ence "will aid in the continuous
process of achieving that common
outlook on world problems which
is vital to the development of the
Atlantic community and indeed to
peace everywhere."
Before he returns to Washing-
ton, Rusk may also open negotia-
tions with the Communist bloc,
including Red China, on the future
of Laos. He is ready to attend the
first round of the 14-nation Lao
conference at Geneva if a cease-
fire can be fully secured.
But Rusk's first purpose in mak-
ing his initial mission to Europe
as President Kennedy's policy
chief is to attend a meeting of
foreign ministers of the 15-nation
North Atlantic Alliance. The min-
isters will meet at Oslo, Norway,
Monday through Wednesday.

C ease-Fire Commission
To Embark for Laos
NEW DELHI (P)-The control commission charged with verifying
the cease-fire in Laos will leave today for the Southeast Asian king-
dom.
The commission, composed of India, Canada and Communist
Poland, made an urgent appeal for airplanes after receiving orders
yesterday to leave for Laos.
There are 30 men on the commission and more than 100 military
guards used for communications, supply and inspection work. The
commission appealed to the Indian and British governments and com-
mercial airlines for planes.

India is chairman of the commission. It takes orders from Britain
and the Soviet Union, the co-chairman of the 1954 Geneva conference
Viet Nam
U.S. To Aid

If Requested
Kennedy Says Issue
'Under Consideration'
At News Conference
WASHINGTON ()-The United
States has sea, ground and air
forces poised for quick dispatch
to South Viet Nam if that country
requests and President John F.
Kennedy decides on direct mili-
tary action to help the Red-men-
aced nation.
When Kennedy was asked at a
news conference Friday whether
he is prepared to send troops to
South Viet Nam if necessary, he
replied that the matter was "still
under consideration."
Secretary of State Dean Rusk,
in another news conference Thurs-
day, said the United States is con-
sidering help for South Viet Nam
"across the entire spectrum." Rusk
stepped around a question about
use of ground troops.
Force Combination
Kennedy could use combinations
of forces or a single service in
military action.
Kept in readiness for quick de-
ployment overseas is the Strategic
Army Corps (STRAC), composed
of three divisions, two of them air-
borne. Anything from a combat
group of about. 6,000 men up to
the full manpower of the three
divisions and supporting elements
of the army's strategic force could
be used. To move more than a
combat unit of 6,OOC men would
require planes in addition to the
approximate 300 now available-
and take longer.
If the need for ground forces
became critical, the United States
has the larger part of the 3rd
Marine division based on Okinawa
-a few hours flying time or two
or three days steaming time from
Viet Nam. A marine division norm-
ally has about 18,500 men.
Attack Planes
But if the decision should be to
help out Viet Nam's own ground
troops by providing air support-
attack planes with conventional
explosive missile$ and bombs -
most of the power-packed seventh
fleet presumably is within striking
distance of the Southeast Asian
coast now.
The. seventh fleet-consisting of
about 125 ships and 650 planes-is
tailored for the task of supporting
ground forces, among its other
missions.
Farther back, but also in posi-
tion to move from bases in Oki-
nawa, the Philippines, Guam and
Japan are jet light bombers and
fighter-bombers of the United
States air force.
The bulk and heaviest portion of
the seventh fleet is presumed to be
concentrated now within easy
reach of Viet Nam and neighboring
Laos, although other elements are
on watch elsewhere along the
Asian coast, from the area of
Japan southward through the
China Sea and South Atlantic.
GOP Attacks
Government
For Secrecy
WASHINGTON () - The Re-
publican National Committee yes
terday accused the White House
of seeking to withhold depart-
mental information about govern-
ment projects from Republican
congressmen.
The committee said the White
House wants such public.data fed
on a straight partisan basis to
the Democrats.'
In its. publication "Battle Line"
the committee said the "reason
for this censorship, unprecedented
in our two-party system of govern-
ment," is provided in an April 21
memo to all cabinet officials and
agency heads by Lawrence F.
O'Brien, special assistant to Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy.

NEW TECHNIQUES CONTEMPLATED:
Ormandy Relates Music Director's Role
By RISA AXELROD
"In a modest way, a conductor
may be compared to the head of
a state, for just as the head of a
state delegates some of his duties,
so may a conductor delegate tasks,
but during the performance the
responsibility rests completely on
him.
With his appearances at the
May Festival, Ormandy is cli-
well-balanced season's program for
his orchestra to perform. This
means using much of the old and
as much of the new as he thinks
the public will enjoy," Ormandy
believes.
"To the conductor, the orchestra
is like a. large instrument of 100
or so living great artists, whom he
has tn owide and lead s that theV
still prefer the old to the new;
they will still walk out on the new
simply because they refuse to give
it a chance."
"How can we expect to find
another Beethoven if we don't
listen to new compositions and
new composers?" he wonders.
"In this sense the American au-
dience is no better and no worse
than the Europban."
