This proposal-made at the in- ternational conference on Laos- was contained in a three-stage plan to pacify the Southeast Asian country. The withdrawal provision would apply to United States officers ad- vising the royal Laotian govern- ment and to the Communists from North Viet Nam supporting the Pathet Lao rebellion. Ask 1954 Accord The French called for a return to the military arrangements for Laos contained in the 1954 Geneva accords on Indochina which set up Laos as an independent king- dom. The 1954 agreements allowed the French to maintain 1,50 mili- tary instructors in Laos. The French also were authorized to maintain two bases with a total strength of no more than 3,500 men. A handfull of French troops re- main in Laos but most of the mill- tary instruction and supplies re- ceived by the royal Laotian gov- ernment now are being provided by the Americans. Three Documents The French peace plan for Laos is contained in three documents. Two were submitted today by Ambassador Jean Chauvel. The third will be ready in a few days. The French offer a counter- proposal to the plan for Laos in- troduced last week by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. The Soviet plan would give the Communists a veto over a peace machinery operations in Laos. Others Agree} The French plan is in line with the thinking of various non-Com- munist delegations, informants said. An American spokesman told newsmen that the United States delegation "thought the French proposal was very good, very con- cise." The Americans have a plan to be presented later. The first French document con- tains this provision: The royal Laotian government would proclaim a desire for neu- trality. It would call on the 13 other nations at this conference to respect its territorial integrity and to assure "the free function- ing of its national institutions." Thailand's Foreign Minister Thanat Khoman made these pro- posals to the conference: Enlarge Commission 1) The present Indian-Cana- dian-Polish international control commission should be enlarged to include two countries from South- east Asia. L) The conference itself should be enlarged by extending invita- tions to Indonesia and Malaya to attend. 3) Penalties might be provided in any conference agreement on Laos to prevent violations of Lao- tian neutrality. 'Met' Refuses with segregation and church school amendments.. In the House Education and La- bor Committee, behind-the-scene maneuvering quietly laid the reli- gious controversy to rest. A mo- tion to consider grants to paro- chial schools was withdrawn.; In the Senate, administration forces, with a 62-32 vote, defeat- ed a Republican amendment de- signed to stop federal money from reaching segregated schools. Supporters of the bill fear that amendments either stopping mon- ey to segregated schools or pro- viding money to church schools would kill the whole bill. ' Before Defeat Before defeating the amend- ment on segregation, the Senate adoptecd an amendment of Sen. Winston L. Prouty (R-Vt) to per- mit states to use the $2.55 bil- lion in federal grants for the gen- eral operating expenses of their public schools. This would mean states could use the funds to pay for such items as buses, books and jani- tors as well as the teachers and classrooms already included. The persuasive powers of ad- ministration spokesmen and the promise of committee chairman Adam C. Powell (D-NY) to con- sider parochial aid in the Na- tional Defense Education Act com- bined to cool off the fiery religious issue in the House. Faces Opposition The big school bill faces far more opposition in the House than in theSenate, where a vote may be reached today,. and the Education Committee's removal of the reli- gious issue was hailed by admin- istration Democrats as a major victory. It was accomplished in undra- matic fashion when Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Calif) withdrew an earlier motion to consider a bill offered by Rep. Herbert Zelenko (D-NY) to extend grants to pri- vate and parochial schools. Roosevelt, who was opposed to Zelenko's bill but said it deserved consideration, withdrew his mo- tion after consultation with Ze- lenko and his supporters. "We decided we just didn't want a knockdown, drag-out fight at this stage that might hurt the whole bill," said Rep. Roman C. Pucinski (D-Ill) ,a proponent of parochial school aid. Powell's Announcement Greatly influencing the deci- sion, he added, was the announce- ment by Powell before the meeting began of accelerated hearings on, the National Defense Education Act, with an assurance that long- term loans for private and paro- chial schools would be considered. .The act, passed in 1958 and up, for renewal, already extends loans to such schools for laboratory equipment. Catholics have propos- ed broadening the loan programo to cover construction of non-re-1 ligious academic facilities.t MONTGOMER Rene By FRED RUSSELL KRAMER The "Freedom Ride" will con- tinue this morning. Members of the ride will come out of hiding in riot-torn Mont- gomery and continue their journey towards Jackson, Miss. and New Orleans, Marvin Rich, national director of Congress of Racial Equality said last night in New York. According to Rich the riders held a "non-violence workshop" late last night to plan their actions on the last leg of their journey. Will Leave Hospitals Even those members of the original ride who are now in Montgomery hospitals will attempt to leave today, he added. Also, Rich said, CORE is re- cruiting highly trained members of its organization nto take part in a new "freedom ride" to take place in the near future. In Ann Arbor the Political Issues Club and Voice political party with the cooperation of the Ann Arbor Direct Action Committee, a local affiliate of CORE, will support the riders by sending an open letter to Attorney General Robert Kennedy protesting actions which led to the Alabama rioting. Expresses Disappointment The letter expresses "great con- cern and disappointment" over the "long standing disconcern for fed- eral law and human dignity" which was evidenced in the treat- ment of CORE members who par- ticipated in the r' e. It supports the lispatch of fed- eral marshals to Alabama and urges Kennedy "to take every step within his power to guarantee that every bus in America will be both a safe ride and a freedom ride." University students will be able to add their names to the letter (which is written in the form of a large 'scroll) between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. today in the "fishbowl." SGC To Hear Motion In addition, Roger Seasonwein, '61, at this evening's meeting of Student Government Council will present a motion which, if passed, would mandate the Council presi- dent to send letters to Rev. Martin Luther King and Attorney General Kennedy. The letter to King would express the Council's sympathy and sup- port for "the principles of non- violence which motivate the riders and courageous Southerners at- tempting to work for integration in the South." The Kennedy letter would ex- press support for the attorney gen- eral's action in regard to the riots and would condemn the violence employed in the demonstrations. NSA Asks Support Yesterday, thekUnited States Na- tional Student Association sent a telegram to Kenneth McEldowney, '62, national affairs vice-chairman of the Michigan region of USNSA, urging student leaders to send tele- grams of support to southern stu- dents fighting for equality. CORE has urged students to wire President Kennedy to ask the indictment of Gov. Patterson and Judge Walter Jones for violating a United States criminal code in connection with their actions in the demonstrations in Montgom- ery. w Free dom Ride Expect Regents To Approve Plan Commission Asks 'Split' Semester, Integration of Academic Calendar By MICHAEL OLINICK and ROBERT FARRELL A University study commission recommended that year- round operations be begun "as soon as possible" in a report released yesterday by University President Harlan Hatcher. The report, discussed in closed sessions by the Regents last weekend, will come up again at their June meeting for consideration. They are expected to approve the plan, which would in-. stitute a semester long, two-part summer session with neces- -AP Wirephoto BUS UNDER GUARD-A "hate bus" of the American Nazi Party rode into Montgomery, Alabama, and got gas. It was en route from Virginia to Mobile and received protection from the National Guard. Although the bus tried to stop, officers escorted it out of town. Bla-mes Washington for Riots' By The Associated Press_ MONTGOMERY, Ala., - Gov. John Patterson yesterday laid the blame for rioting in Montgomery on the federal government.. SGC To Act On Evaluations In Dormitories At the Student Government Council meeting tonight, Kenneth McEldowney, '62, plans to intro- duce a motion criticizing the con- fidential nature of the residence hall evaluations. McEldowney's motion will be proposed as a substitute motion for the one submitted last week by Thomas Moch, '62, Inter- Quadrangle Council president. Moch's motion supports the confi- dential reports in men's residence halls and recommends that the existence and nature of these re- ports be made known to the resi- dents. McEldowney will also move to bring the Peace Corps resolution, submitted by John Roberts, '62, acting Daily editor, and himself, off the table and present it before the members for debate and con- sideration. This motion proposes that SGC endorse the basic idea of the corps. He particularly blamed federal marshals for causing last Sunday night's outbreak. He indicated at a news con-: ference that should a group of integrationists wish to leave the state, they would be escorted to the state line. "Surely the United States gov- ernment, with all its prestige and power, could persuade these people to go home," he said. In Washintgon, Atty. Gen. Ro- bert F. Kennedy told reporters "we have some ideas of what we are going to do" if the freedom riders go from Montgomery to New Or- leans. He declined. however, to say what form of action is being considered. Meanwhile, with National Guardsmen and civilian police keeping a watchful eye on the still- tense city under martial law, a Nazi "hate bus" rolled into Mont- gomery, stopped briefly at a ser- vice station, then procedded to- ward Mobile. No extra marshals have been assigned to Mississippi or Louis- iana despite announced plans of an -integrationist group to continue its trip through the south, Byron White, deputy United States at- torney general, said yesterday. White said he knows of no plans for the federal government to ask the riders to halt their tests of in- tegration in the South. But "cau- tion and restraint" are advised, he added. White would not comment on a statement by Gov. Ross Barnett of Mississippi that the riders would be forbidden to get off the bus in that state. He said the marshals are more interested in preventing violence than commenting on such questions.a sary adjustments in the times of the two regular semesters. Four Year Program The University Commission on Year-Round Integrated Operation appointed by President Hatcher in February, urged adoption of the split summer session plan by a series of gradual steps with fina implementation coming in four years. Regent Eugene B. Power indi- cated, however, that any institu- tion of year - round operations would be dependent on financial support from the Legislature. "It is quite apparent that such a plan cannot be put into opera- tion until there is an increase in the University's budget," he said SGC, Senate To Get Plan Student Government Counci will receive the commission's re- port today and is expected to dis- cuss it at its meeting tonight. The University Senate will hold a spe- cial session Thursday to allow fac- ulty discussion of the report. The proposed schedule would move the beginning of the first semester back to the last week in August. The term would run about 15 and one-half weeks, ending before the Christmas holi- days. The second semester would be- gin immediately after a two-week break which would serve also as a Christmas vacation. The plan pro- posed calendars both including and excluding a one-week spring vacation. Pre-Registration The plan would eliminate the present registration week, pro- viding for registration and classi- fication during the preceding se- mester. It would require revamp- ing of orientation procedure. The report would have any fin- al examination periods included within the 15 and one-half weeks of the semester. Present semesters are 16 and one-half weeks long, including the exam period. The commission called attention to the need for a new effectiveness in educational procedures. Attention The report stated that the recommendation of a year-round program calls attention to this need and provides incentive for placing responsibilities on indi- vidtual students for "responsible self-development."' Vice-President and Dean of Fac- ulties Marvin L. Niehuss empha- sized that the new plan would in no way place any obligation on the faculty or the students for more work. And, he said, the University would be careful not to allow the change to place the faculty in a disadvantageous salary position. Power pointed out that the Uni- versity would require more funds, not for expansion of its plant, which would remain the same as at present, but for added faculty to teach the approximately 25 'per cent more students that the new plan would allow. , Legislature's Desire "If the Legislature really wants us to take more students," he said, this plan will allow it at a minimal cost, since it will use present facili- ties on a more efficient basis. "With this proposed revision," Prof. William Haber, commission chairman, said, "a student can complete two and a half regular semesters each year and still have an eight week vacation to earn mnenor v nrela" BULLETIN SEOUL, Korea (A)-Lt. Gen. Chang Do-Young, leader of the South Korean military Junta, said late last night he plans to visit the United States to meet 1 President Kennedy and Im- prove close ties between the two countries. Chang announced his plans at a news conference, "I will visit the United States immediately," Chang said, "to make personal contact with President Kennedy in order to make the government and the people of the United States fully understand the fundamen- tal spirit of the May 16 revo- 1 lution and to seek support for our efforts to achieve the revo- lutionary tasks, and thus pro- mote furthering of close ties between the two countries." Attempts yesterday to end the mutiny of South Korean mill. tary forces against the author- ity of the UN command were vetoed by Junta leaders. , Inactivity Hit By, Herbert Dr. Paul, A. Herbert, former director of the division of con- servation in the MSU college of agriculture, accused college teach- ers of not working hard enough. Speaking in front of an Ionla audience, he said that restricted enrollment , was unnecessary if teachers would work fulltime. He went on to say that undergraduate courses could be taught as easily as high school classes. College professors are better paid, but have fewer discipline' problems. They also have the bene-. fits of automation in machine- scored examinations. . Herbert criticized university ad- ministrators for continuing to grant one-year sabbatical leaves each seventh year when they are short of teachers. He said, "Surely if there is an emergency this fall because colleges do not have the funds to hire teachers, they should defer leaves of absence and use all their teachers fulltime to teach all those who qualify and who desire to enroll." Dr. Paul A. Miller, vice-presi- dent at MSU, answered Miller by saying that outside research and travel were stimulating and neces- sary in order to teach success- fully. Attack Cuban Tractor Swap WASHINGTON (R) - M o r e speeches echoed in the Senate yes- terday denouncing as blackmail the tractor-prisoner swap with Fidel Castro being negotiated by a group of American citizens. Pres- ident John F. Kennedy remained silent in the face of renewed de- mands that he say whether the government approves. Kennedy was reported to feel that the government "is out of it and is going to stay out." T-Tadalisrtae Inte ar+,nrm- . ENDS SEASON SCHEDULE: Western Michigan Defeats Wo Kennedy Plans Request For More Space Funds WASHINGTON (') - President John F. Kennedy likely will ask Congress tomorrow for a substantial spending boost in a catch-all message keyed to giving the United States space program a potent financial booster shot. Democratic Congressional leaders reported this yesterday after their weekly White House meeting with Kennedy. They said the message would call for extra funds for aid to Southeast Asia, * beefing up United States ground forces, civil defense and retrain- ing for unemployed workers.
