' AL""i ~ ax Defeat Sparks Dispute By HARRY PERLSTADT Now that the last-ditch at-, tempt to pass nuisance taxes to increase the higher educa- tion appropriation has failed, incriminations fill the air. Republicans claim that Gov. John. B. Swainson waited too, long before agreeing to the tax- es. Swainson said the Republi- can majority in the Senate crippled state services., Democratic National Com- mitteeman Neil Staebler issued a statement yesterday demand- ing that Senator Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) give "the real explanation" of why he voted against the nuisance taxes Tuesday night. Fail to Pass The failure to pass the taxes climaxes a long series of po- litical maneuvering which started over revenue estimates. The Democrats estimated that revenues beginning July 1961 will be $477 million, while the Republicans estimated $462 mil- lion. "We (the Democrats) feel that our educated guess on es- timated revenues for the com- ing fiscal year is just as accur- ate as the Republican's," Sen. George C. Steeh (D-Macomb) said. "The governor's budget rec- ommendations are within the estimated $477 million. We be- lieve that all signs point to- ward an upturn in the econo- my. The Republicans tend to disagree." ' Thayer Attempts Over three weeks ago Thayer attempted to obtain a bi-parti- san agreement to extend the nuisance taxes; but with no help from the governor, it fail- ed. Last Friday, when the House passed their appropriations bill, Thayer said he had most of the Republican "moderates" behind him but lacked the nec- essary four or five Democratic votes to carry the measure. Steeh said'that there was no opportunity to caucus on Fri- day, and therefore he could not deliver the needed votes. "On Monday we were ready, but the Republicans were not." Over that weekend Thayer said that many of the Republi- cans who were originally com- mitted to the expiration of the taxes were returning to their original position. He also said' that Steeh could not guarantee the Democratic votes until Tuesday. Then, when it seemed that a compromise could be reached with both parties rallying to the taxes at the same time, the division of the tax package it- self brought disharmony. Couldn't Muster That same night Thayer drew up a proposal which call- ed for $19 million in taxes of which $3.5 would go to higher education. But by this time Tayer could n otvmuster enough votes and never sub- mitted his plan to the Senate. T h e following morning Swainson said he would not stand in the way of passing the taxes. The Republicans all said that his move was too late, al- though the Democrats submit- ted what was in essence, Thay- er's proposal. It failed 17-12. :.,".. ....; ,?}::td::.;.;}; ai;; v .!:fi.^,rm «:7,r.ax~r~icgarrt!;::!. r'.:::-,r r.:. c .X.'.y"a.r : : .~rr r.e...*r EAST QUAD: Students View, Debate Film Pass Motion As Substitute For Yost's SGC Plans To Hold. Tuesday Conferencet With Seniors-Juniors By JUDITH OPPENHEIM Student Government Council1 last night adopted by voice vote at motion by Acting Daily Editor John Roberts, '62, to have Coun- cil members meet with The Daily staff. They wil confer with Daily sen-+ iors and junior editors at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The Council had previously voted nine-to-eight to substitute Roberts' motion for one proposed by James Yost, '62, which express- ed "grave concern" by the Coun- cil over an apparent lack ofre- sponsibility in news reporting and editorial comment in The Daily., An amendment to Roberts' mo- tion, proposed by Per Hanson, '62/ was defeated. The amendment would have placed Yost's motion expressing concern on the agenda for next week's SGC meeting. Speakers in favor of Roberts' motion believed the meeting of Council members with the Daily staff would prove more effective than Yost's motion in promoting better communication between The Daily and the Council. Panhellenic Association Presi- dent Susan Stillerman, '62, and Assembly Association President Sally Jo Sawyer, '62, said that SGC, if it passed Yost's motion without first availing itself of the opportunity to discuss issues ob- jectively, would be acting with greater irresponsibility than The Daily has been accused of. Arthur Rosenhaum, '62, said he did not believe the Daily deserved the consideration of a meeting of the type Roberts proposed, since in the past 'The Daily has not shown a comparable willingness to discuss issues before publishing articles. Nevertheless, Rosenhaum said he was willing to support Roberts' motion in hopes that the meeting could be conducted 'in good faith." Opposing the motion, Hanson said The Daily in instances in- cluding the Scheub report on resi- dence halls, fraternity bias clauses and the Michigan Union policies had not consulted the student or- ganizations involved before com- menting on their activities. Interfraternity Council Presi- dent Robert Peterson, '62, said that in the past Daily editors have ignored protests regarding their articles and policies and have shown no indication they will change their attitude now." Judiciary Members Approved Council Cites Rules Violation In executive session last night Student Government Council adopted a motion to review favor- ably the appointments of Robert M. Berger, '63, Jane S. Glick, '62, Robert A. Greenes, '62, Juliet T. Pearce, '62, and Larry A. Stinson, '63E, to Joint Judiciary Council. "SGC however, notes that cer- tain irregularities in pre-inter- viewing procedures occurred," the motion said. "For such procedures to have been proper, they would have had to have been approved as, con- stitutional amendments to the Joint Judiciary constitution. "However, not wishing to ab- struct the process of Joint Judi- ciary, the Council accepts the nominations in good faith." The irregularities SGC referred to were involved in the institution of a screening process ahead of the final interviews' for Joint Judic positions, Final interviews are held by a six-man board composed of three officers from Joint Judic and three from SGC. The screening com- mittees consisted of only Joint Judic members. The screening procedure was set up by Joint Judic Chairman Char- les Gessner, '61E, to eliminate the necesity for the full commmittee to hear all the applicants for the five open positions on Joint Judie. He defended his action as being with his powers under the Joint Judic's by-laws. Constitutional amendments for Joint Judic must be approved by both the University Subcommittee on Discipline and SGC. Gessner said last night that Joint Judic intended to set up a joint committee with SGC in the fall to consider the advisability of recommending some screening procedure in the form of a consti- tutional amendment. He added: "It is unfortunate that we got into this procedural trouble. This (the institution of screening) was only a test, and we feel it was successful." Boland Plans A ngola Probe UNITED NATIONS (')-Fred- erick H. Boland of Ireland, presi- dent of the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly, told Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin yesterday a five-nation UN com- mittee of inquiry on Angola would be formed within the next few days. Boland replied to a request from Zorin that urgent steps be taken to carry out provisions of a Gen- eral Assembly resolution urging Portugal to respect human rights and freedoms in its African terri- tory of Angola. Swainson Plans No Extension 'Time Remains For More Actioi LANSING (A) - Gov. John, Swainson told the Legislature ye terday not to expect him to cal special session to take care of i portant matters lawmakers doi deal with during their regul session.

Husk Visits Geneva For Talks'on1Laos GENEVA (),-Secretary of State Dean Rusk arrived last night for the 14-nation conference on Laos amid doubts that the sessions will, get under way on schedule tomorrow. Rusk said he would take part in the conference "if information from Laos permits it." Real Cease-fire Rusk and other Western officials have declared they would: refuse to take part unless there is a real cease-fire between Commu- nist and anti-Communist forces. Three leading members of an In- dian - Canadian - Polish .--control c ' i t 1 1 -' By DAVID MARCUS Approximately; 100 East Quad- rangle residents saw the contro- versial film strip "Communism on the Map" last night. Sponsored by Strauss house, the program included an introduction by Dr. Arnold Brown of Dearborn and a refutation of the film by Kenneth McEldowney, '62. An hour long discussion session followed the showing. The film, with its tape-recorded sound track, claims to trace the development and extension of Communist influence. Starting with- the Russian revolution, it notes the countriesrunder Rus- sian domination and specifies thosein which Communist in- fluence is greatest. Lists Countries The film includes all of Europe, Asia expect Formosa, and South America except the Dominican Professors .Rap Kennedy's Cuban oliey NEW YORK P)-Seventy New !ngland college professors and writers took a half-pagead in the New York Times Tuesday to :urge President John F. Kennedy to re- vise United States policy toward Cuba. Inan open letter to the Presi- dent, the professors criticized the Central Intelligence Agency for having "blundered in an inexcus- able and almost inconceivable way" in what the letter described as the CIA's attempt at a counter- revolution in Cuba. The statement, described as written by members of the Har- vard faculty, urged the adminis- tration to "reverse the present drift towards American military intervention in Cuba" and to at- tempt "to detach the Castro re- gime from the Communist bloc." Lewis Shows Revised Film, PROVIDENCE WP)-Fulton Lewis II, narrator and technical di- rector of the controversial film "Operation Abolition," disclosed here last night that he has been showing a corrected version of the film since April 4. The mistake in the original ver- sion of the film on the student ,.na dina the an m.an,,seon Republic as being under extreme danger of Communist influences from within. It also classifies Canada, Mexico and Hawaii as being centers of Communist power. It also cited errors in United States foreign policy in not ship- ping arms to Batista and Chaing Kai-shek in their fight against Communist rebels. Narrator Describes The narrator also described the American mistake of recognizing the Soviet Union. He claimed that such recognition gave the Soviet government the prestige to save ,its country from"imminent finan- cial breakdown." Brown, who though not a mem- ber of the American Legion, which supplied the film, came to show it, commented that it is "a factual documentary." McEldowney said that the film draws "an equation between so- cialism and communism. Red Infiltration, "It claims Communist infiltra- tion in countries with strong so- cialist labor parties which in fact are anti-Communist," he added. The film cited a British Labor Party member's statement that socialism is a transitory step to Communist. It also noted that the main weapon in Communist con- quest has been subversion from within rather than external force. Opinion was divided on the film during the ensuing discussion per- iod. Ernest Coleman, '63, noted that the film is intended to bring about "an awareness of Communist ten- dencies in these countries." Tone Down "While it is much too strong, it is hoped that they will tone down later films and make them more acceptable to the academic com- munity, "Films like this one are intended to stir up patriotism among the people," he, concluded. John Roberts, '64E, ommented that "the people who made the film are using the same tactics as the Communists. Javits Declines Mayoralty Race NEW YORK (P)-Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) emerged from a heated Republican policy meeting last night to announce that he will not run for mayor of New York on the GOP ticket. commission, whose job is to certify that a cease-fire is in effect, fin- ally left for headquarters of Com- munist and neutralist rebel head- quarters at Xieng Khouang in Laos yesterday after being rebuffed on Tuesday. Random fighting continued; but there has been no serious outbreak for a week. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko said the Soviet Union would make "every effort to solve the Laotian problem justly and without procrastination and stamp out a hotbed of war danger." Freely Resolve He added that he hoped other delegates would act so as to "pro- mote the restoration of peace in Laos and create conditions under which the Laotians can freely re- solve their domestic affairs with- outside pressure.". Rusk stressed a necessity of making arrangements for the peace and independence of Laos. "The search for peace in Laos is worth the best efforts of all who might come to the table.' COMPUTER COMMUNICATION: IBM 704 Goes MAD When User Makes. Mistake Birehers Ask Investigation WASHINGTON ()- Two con- gressmen asked the House Rules Committee yesterday to approve, an investigation of charges that the John Birch Society follows the line of Fascism, Naziism, Com- munism, and Ku Klux Klanism. The two congressmen are mem- bers, of the society. The committee, after hearing the pleas of Rep. Edgar W. Hei- stand (R-Calif) and Rep. John H. Rousselot (R-Calif), deferred ac- tion. Congressmen Describe Rousselot and Hiestand described the charges as' "distorted state- ments, half truths and innuen- does." "These are serious charges," Rousselot said. "I think it would ,be a healthy thing to clear the air." But a member of the committee, Rep. B. F. Sisk (D-Calif), said he' had a hunch that the request for an investigation was part of a publicity-seeking drive, on behalf of the society, whose founder, Robert Welch, once called former President Dwight D. Eisenhower "a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy." Rousselot denied the society is anti - Catholic, anti - Semitic, or anti-Negro. He said it has re- quested the resignation of mem- bers who advocated anti-minority programs. HUAC Refuses The House Committee on Un- American Activities recently re- fused to investigate the society.! The committee said it lacks juris- diction. Hiestand then sponsored a reso- lution to create a seven-member House committee to do the investi- gating. It was Hiestand's resolution that the rules committee took up yes- terday. Ni xon .Blames GOP 'Rebels' Former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon blamed dissidents among wMminhiean Rnuiar RfMnndanv fon GOP' Indicates. House Democrats introduced res- olutions yesterday to suspend leg. Islative rules to allow considera- tion of the billboard and unem- ployment assistance programs. GOP leaders in both the House and Senate, however, indicateg they stood little chance of adop- tion. Lynn M. Bartlett, State Super- intendent of Public Instruction, assailed the Legislature for failure to appropriate more money for state-supported colleges and uni- versities. "The Republican-controlled Leg- islature makes it necessary for the public schools of our state to operate on the same per-pupil al- lowance for the third consecutive year," he said.
