U.S.Iaos Efforts Fail
WASHINGTON 4P)-The Unit-
d States has suffered a double
etback in efforts to gain inter-
ational support for an American-
acked plan to establish a neutral
,atus for Laos.
Westernl diplomats placed this

reported refusal of Cambodia's
Prince Norodom Sihanouk to
serve as chairman of a three-na-
tion neutral nations commission
in the troubled Southeast Asian
kingdom.
Turn Down Plan
Cambodia said such a commis-
sion could not control foreign in-
tervention in the war-torn jungle
kingdom without cooperation from
pro-Communist rebels. Commu-
nist nations also turned down the
king's proposal, made in an extra-
ordinary appeal to the world Sun-
day.
Rejection of the plan by Cam-
bodia was regarded as a heavy
blow to the whole plan.
Adding to the United States
diplomatic setback was the re-
turn of former Premier Souvanna
Phouma from his self-imposed
exile in Cambodia to "the rebel
held headquarters at Xieng Khou-
ang in central Laos.
Circumstances Different
There had been some hope here
that Souvanna Phouma would re-
turn to Laos under different cir-
cumstances-as a 'member of a
broader-based neutral govern-
ment under the king.

that leftist forces in Laos claim

tionalist soldiers left in northern
Burma after the Communists took
over the Chinese mainland 1.1

In Moscow yesterday,' Pravda
called for revival of the Interna-

Laos, a survey mission by the
commission, and an international
conference on the war-torn Indo-
chinese kingdom to follow soon
after.
The Soviet Communist party or-
gan said the commission-made
up of Poland, India and Canada--

Laos and make recommendations

.. at rush meeting
Trost Gives
No Answer,
To 'Debate'
Inter-Fraternity Council Presi-
dent Jon Trost, '61, told an audi-
ence of nearly 600 men at a mass
open rush meeting last night that
he could supply no answrto
"the great debate" concerning the
relative merits of quadrangle and
fraternity living.
The question presents itself
every year, Trost said. Men ask
why they should rush.
But no one has the answers to
these questions. All are a little
i, prejudiced, whether connected
with the quadrangles or the fra-
t~rnities.
"The answer can only come
through one's personal experience
with ,the fraternities. Compare
and decide for yourselves," Trost
advised. "Whatever youdecide, the
answer lies with you."
Louis . Rice, assistant to the
dean of men in charge of frater-
nities, called on the experience
of the men, most of whom he said
were intheir second semester, to
guide their decisions.
"You have a semester. behind
you," he said. "Things have
changed. You see many things dif-
ferently now. Take time in your
decision"
D'iksen Plans
New Measure
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON W) -- Noting
that President John F. Kennedy
hasn'tasked for one, Senate Re-
publican leader Everett M. Dirk-
sen'(R-Ill) yesterday said he
would "unfurl a civil rights bill"
in a couple of weeks.
Dirksen, after a conference of
'Senate and House GOP leaders,
said he would introduce his bill
"in the absence of any clear in-
dication the administration is go-
ing to submit anything."
Rep. Charles A. Halleck of In-
diana, the House Republican
leader, joined Dirksen in gibing
at Kennedy's omission of civil
rights in his recent list of 16 most
wanted bills.
Kennedy Lists"
The list included bills on mini-
mum wage, unemployment com-
pensation, health care for the
aged, federal aid to education,
social security revisions and other
fields.
Dirksen said he had expected
Kennedy to include "something in
the general field of civil rights
and the revision of Senate Rule
22" to make it easier to shut off a
senate filibuster.
Kennedy has indicated he in-
tends for the present to rely pri-
marily on executive actions which
may be taken under present laws.
Outlines Bill
The Illinois Senator said his civil
rights bill would cover proposals
Set Permits
For Liquor,
The Ann Arbor City Council ap-
proved last night the applications
of eight local establishments for
class "C" liquor licenses, which
permit liquor to be sold by the
glass.
These approvals bring to 11 the'
total number of restaurants that
have been cleared for class "C"
licenses.
The Council also approved a
motion to hire a consultant to
investigate ways of improving the
downtown area. To begin the sur-
vey, questionnaires will be dis.
tributed to customers and em-
ployes of the downtown area.
A petition was presented to the
Council protesting against the hir-
ing of outside labor for city con-
struction jobs. "It is bad taste to
say the least . . . to employ out-
of-city labor where there are many
unemployed for as long as 10
months," Dale Jones of union local
959 protested.
"Law requires us to choose the
lowest bid," Guy C. Larcom, city
administrator, replied. The council
agreed to table approval of a bid
for a current contracting job un-
til it had investigated the matter
further.,
WASHINGTON (R)-A billion-
dollar aid-to-the-jobless bill-No.
1 on President John F. Kennedy's
priority list-cleared the House
Way's and Means Committee yes-
terday and headed for passage by
the House next week.,
The key committee approved
emergency extension of unemploy
-ment compensation benefits after
changing the financing provisions'
to meet objections from Republi-
cans and business groups.
Within an hour after the ways
and means group acted, Demo-
cratic leaders docketed the bill for
House consideration next Wednes-
day. It was expected to be brought
up under a procedure permitting a
"yes" or "no" vote, with no amend-
ments.
Seek Deadline
The Kennedy administration's
objective is to start these addi-
tional payments to the long-term
unemployed by April 1, and Demo-
cratic leaders said they hope to
meet thatdeadline.
The bill would provide up to
another 13 weeks of benefits to
jobless workers who have ex-
hausted their rights since last
June 30. The emergency program
would run for two years from that
date..
The Kennedy administration has
estimated 500,000 or more out-of-
work persons already have reached
the limit of their benefits under
regular unemployment compensa-
tion programs, and that another
2.4 million will do so in the future.
Passage Assured
Passage was assured when House
Republican leader Charles A. Hal-
leck of Indiana announced sup-
port of a temporary extension of
jobless aid.
This help is needed, Halleck
said, because of "conditions which
have developed" since last Novem-
ber--when Kennedy was elected.
At a news conference in advance
of the committee's action, Halleck
said Republicans believe the cost
should be met by a temporary
increase in the current 3.1 per cent
payroll tax paid by employers.
As it turned out, that's the
method the committee adopted,
rather than providing for a per-
manent increase from $3,000 to
$4,800 in the annual base on which
the tax is levied.

Schedule
e.
For Rush
By JUDITH OPPENHEIM
Panhellenic Association Presi-
dent Barbara Greenberg, '61, says
the Panhel rush committee will
submit a revised rush schedule
for next year to Student Govern-
ment Council for approval March
15 or 22.
The primary advantage of the
new schedule, planned in co-
operation with Assembly Associa-
tion, is that until the fourth set
no rush parties will be held on
week-nights. In addition, a week
of classes will separate the mixers
from the second set.
Rush will begin officially dur-
ing registration weekend. Mixers
will be held the Friday, Saturday
and Sunday before classes begin,
and the second set will begin the
following Friday evening. Parties
will be continued Saturday and
Sunday Afternoons, leaving both
evenings free.
Weekend Freed
Third set parties will be held
the next Friday night and Satur-
day afternoon, this time leaving
both Saturday evening and Sun-
day free.
Fourth set parties will be held
Monday and Tuesday and final
desserts, as usual, Thursday and
Friday. Preferencing will be Fri-
day evening and pledging Sun-
day afternoon.
Miss Greenberg, who says she
is greatly pleased with the plans
for the new system, says the idea
has never been proposed before
because of the burden itwould
place on the house directors be-
tween semesters.
Plan Pleases
Mrs. Irene Potter, house direc-
tor at Alpha Omicron P soror-
ity, believes enough of the actives
will have returned before the mix-
ers to assume responsibility for
the houses.
"i am certain," 'she said, "that
the house directors would be hap-
py to help with rush in any way
they can. r n
The second benefit of the sys-
tem is that rushees and actives
will not have to miss evening
classes during the first two weeks
of the semester.

ADVANCED DESIGN:
U. Plans New Weather Study Satellite
By PHILIP SUTIN
An advanced weather satellite is projected for 1965, Jay S.
Winston of the Meterological Satellite Laboratory of the United
States Weather Bureau, told a meeting of the Southeastern Michigan
Branch of the American Meterological Society yesterday.
Called Aeros, it will be launched 22,300 miles above the equator
In such a way that it will always face the same spot on the earth,
he said. It will serve to monitor hurricane and typhoon breeding
areas as well as perform research experiments.
Earlier, another series of weather satellites will be launched.
Named Nimbus, these instruments will be placed in orbit and stabilized
to have its camera always vertically facing the earth, he explained.
Its equipment will be of a more advanced type than the Tiros, a
. weather satellite now circling the earth.
To Contain Apparatus
The satellite will contain apparatus to geographically locate the'
pictures as they are taken, and to study infra-red and solar radiation.
The National Aeronautics and Space Agency plans to launch two
:. each in 1962 and 1963, Winston said.
r. As part of his talk, Winston discussed some of the 22,000 pictures
taken by the first Tiros from its wide and narrow angle cameras
