'U' BAND PERFORMS:
Tour Opens in Moscow

MOSCOW ') - The University
1band, using a pumber of borrowed
instruments, opened an eight-week
tour of the Soviet Union last night
with a warmly received concert at
Moscow's Sports Palace.
The audience couldn't get enough
of Gershwin tunes.
The Soviet news agency Tass
[ hailed the concert and said "this
sensitive, fluid and disciplined stu-
dent orchestra is well on a par
with many professional groups as
regards the standard of perform-
ance."
About 6,000 Muscovites-mostly
young people -attended but the
turnout was about 10,000 short of
filling the hangar-like sports pal-
ace.
The tour was to have opened
last night but bad weather delayed
the band's arrival. Several band
members felt the postponement
was partly to blame for the rela-
tively light attendance.
The best liked selections were
"Summertime," from "Porgy and
Bess," and a medley from "My
Fair Lady.";
Selections by American com-
posers such as Robert Russell Ben-
nett received only polite applause,
as did pieces by the Italian Verdi
and the Russians Rimsky-Korsa-
kov and Prokofleff.
Conductor William D. Revelli
got warm applause when he
thanked the audience and said
"music is the greatest instrument
in the world for peace."
When the two-hour concert
ended, several thousand persons
crowded around the bandstand,
obviously hoping for some Ameri-
can numbers. Several in the audi-
ence kept shouting "Gershwin."
Revelli responded with several
mild marches and the Internation-
ale. Demands for Gershwin tunes
continued and the crowd moved
away only when the Russian mas-
ter of ceremonies shouted, "It's
over."

Agree, on Aid
For Jobless
WASHINGTON (P)-The House
Ways and Means committee
reached tentative agreement yes-
.terday on President John F. Ken-
nedy's top priority legislative pro-
posal-additional benefits for the
long-time unemployed who have
used up their insurance rights.
Aides said final committee ac-
tion is expected today on a bill to
make almost $1 billion available
for extra unemployment payments
for up to 13 weeks.
To finance the program, how-
ever, the committee is substitut-
ing for the Kennedy administra-
tion proposal a method preferred
by most Republicans and business
spokesmen who appeared before
the group.
The committee, meeting all day
behind closed doors, was under-
stood to have agreed on an in-
crease in the unemployment insur-
ince tax rate, limited to two
years. The tax, now 3.1 per cent,
would go up to 3.4 or 0.5 per cent,
depending on final studies of the
amount needed. Kennedy proposed
maintaining the present rate, but
extending the base on which it is
applied from $3,000 to $4,800 per
employe.
Although in either case the cost
of the emergency extra payments
would be met by stepping up a
tax paid by employers, business
witnesses objected strongly to the
increase in the tax base.

License Fee
LANSING (1P) - The state Sen-

There has been no money allo-

protested that they are paying for

The planned showing of the

night.
Hanson said that he had been
Informed by the group at Wayne
State University that owns the
film and had planned to bring it
up for the showing tonight that
they would be unable to do so.
Gregg Nigosian, spokesman for

tion for a member to bring the
film to the University.
To Expedite Approval
A motion will be presented to
the Council tonight by the execu-
tive committee regarding, the ac-,
tivities section of the University
regulations booklet.
"The major purpose of this mo-
tion is to facilitate approval of
student sponsored events and
clarify the procedures involved,"
John Feldkamp, '61, chairman of
the Council, said.
The change in the regulations
means that the Council as a whole
will not act on calendaring of
student events except for events
referred to the Council by James
A. Lewis, vice-president for Stu-
dent Affairs.
Two Other Motions
The Council will also decide on:
two motions that have previously
been considered in committee as
a -whole since they are expressions
of student opinion.
One is a motion by Seasonwein
which would amend the University
regulations on membership lists to
require organizations to list their
officers and faculty advisor with
the Office of Student Affairs but
not their members, as is present-
ly required. The motion would give
organizations the option of con-
firming their membership require-
ment of twenty or more by either
a notarized statement or a mem-
bership list.
The other motion, proposed by
Daily Editor Thomas Hayden, '61,
condemns use of evaluation forms
by the chemistry department for
students in University chemistry
courses.

TRANSJT II-B:
U.S. Orbits Satellites;
May Aid in Navigation
WASHINGTON (P)-A pair of satellites launched from Cape
Canaveral on a single booster rocket are in orbit, the Defense De-
partment announced early today.
The double-header space rocket carrying the Navy's Transit III-B
satellite and a smaller hitchhiking vehicle was fired aloft at 10:45
p.m. (EST) last night.
The brief announcement by the Defense Department said that re-
ports received from various trackin gstations showed the satellites
were orbiting.
The Defense Department said that details of how high and along
what path the satellites were traveling wdtuld be announced later to-
day, after computations had been made.
The principal passenger on the rocket was the Navy's 250-pound
Transit III-B navigation satellite. Riding as a "hitchhiker" was a

JAPANESE STUDENT COMMENTS:
Calls Japan Youth 'Communistic'
e~t--

By PAT GOLDEN
A visiting Japanese student
leader said last night that the
Japanese national student asso-
ciation (Zengakuren) is Commun-
istic, but not controlled by the
Communist party.
Masa Nishihara, former presi-'
dent of a student press agency in
Japan, pointed out a three-way
split in the Zengakuren which
places the controlling main stream
to the left of the Japanese Com-
munist Party and violently op-
posed to it.
"The Zengakuren's executive
committee and many local leaders
are Trotskyites, who feel the party
is moving too slowly. They openly
advocate revolution and oppose
peaceful coexistence."
Two Rich Branwsh

that as a union the Zengakuren
can issue executive orders for stu-
dent action.
Mandates Mobilize
A Zengakuren mandate, working
through campus student govern-
ment bodies, can mobilize -all
Japanese students for a demon-
stration or strike. Although par-
ticipation is still voluntary, most
students usually support demon-
strations. USNSA passes resolu-
tions on issues which concern stu-
dents, but does not have the power
to incite student action.
"Japanese students don't! have
the American concept of non-
violent demonstration. Most of
them, especially the main stream,
think aiction is ineffective unless
it is violent.

the United States, but "we must
remember that racial prejudice is
a world problem. I cannot blame
the American southerners for their
position. They just don't realize
how fast the world is changing."
He said the student movement
in the south is effective, but not
all students are aroused. In Japan
students are more politically so-
phisticated. While-they might not.
express they views individually,
they will turn out for mass action.
Americans seem to have the
opposite orientation: they may
privately express convictions which
they will not act upon. He said
there may be more pressure here
to keep ideas on an individual
level.
Nishihara recalled that he had
sent for a Czechoslovakian maga-

of the radio-television: Proposals
before the committee. Thornberry,
a Rules Committee member, is op-
posed to the fuels study measure.
In yesterday's session, commit-
tee members expressed doubts
about various proposals to allow
radio and television coverage of
proceedings of the House and its
committees.
Rep. Clarence J. Brown (R-
Ohio) said he was concerned about
the possibility that one viewpoint
might be presented, adding "that
has been done." There was a dan-
ger, he said, of "a very clever se-
lection of what would be put on
the air."
Rep. William M. Colmer (D-
Miss) replied that the same ar-
gument could be applied to press
coverage of House actions, with
newsmen selecting what they want
to write.
Rep. George Meader (R-Mich)
is one sponsor of a proposal to
permit each House committee to
decide if and when its proceedings
would be broadcast, and under
conditions. Television and radio,.
