PARTY CONTROLLED:
Nominations Under Way,
For Next Soviet Election
MOSCOW (P) - Nomination of
candidates began recently for next
June's Soviet parliamentary elec-
tions--with election results already
arranged by the Communist par-
ty machine.
Factory workers and "public or-
ganizations" nominated the peo-
ple assigned to them by the par-
ty. Initial publicity focused or
party boss Leonid I. Brezhnev
nominated at a woolen mill, and
other leaders.
After a lot more publicity, 99
per cent of the Soviet voters will
approve on June 12 the choices
in 1,517 parliamentary constitu-
encies.
Soviet elections do not offer
voters any choice of candidates
or of programs. They have a dif-
ferent purpose than letting the
people decide the country's future
Once elected, members of the
Supreme Soviet Parliament will
ratify without significant change
the laws which are presented to
them. Voting is always unanimous
The laws are based on Com-
munist party decisions. And those
decisions come from Brezhnev's
small group of party leaders, whose
policy declarations to a recent
party congress were approved un-
questioningly.
The purpose of the elections is
to obtain publicity for party pro-
grams. Instead of decisions being
transmitted up from the voters
party decisions are transmitted
down to them by the Soviet elec-
tion process.
Brezhnev told the congress that'
party units "must completely
eliminate their petty guardianship{
of government bodies and the
practice of overriding them, which
gives rise to irresponsibility and
inertness on the part of officials.'
Calls for More News
He also called for the parlia-
mentary leadership, of which he is
a member, to tell the Supreme So-
viet more about what is going on.
"The work of deputies must be-
Supreme Soviet and automatically
ratified at the next sitting.
Brezhnev's reform proposals did
not include having contested elec-
tions. The Soviet ballot says a
voter should strike out all but one
name. In fact, only rarely is more
than one' name on the ballot.'
Write-ins invalidate a vote.
There has been some talk of
putting the names not of one but
of several candidates on a ballot.
But Brezhnev did not mention this
and nothing has been heard of it

ATLANTA - The normally
gloomy report of the AAUP's Com-
mittee Z-the committee on the
economic status of the profession
-sounded a happy note this year
as it announced that the salaries
of the nation's college teachers
are higher than ever before-
up 7.3 per cent over last year.-
The report, which was released
Friday at the association's annual
meeting, noted that the percentage
rise was the highest of any year
this decade and that for the first
time since 1957 faculty pay has
risen at a rate considered essen-
tial to meet the goals of the Presi-
dent's Committee on Education
beyond High School.
That advisory body, reporting
to former President Eisenhower,
set as a national target the doubl-
ing of faculty salaries before 1970.
Southern Salaries Up
The Southern states have been
important beneficiaries of the in-
creased salaries, the report said,
and thus the gap between the
South and the rest of the nation
has narrowed.
Notably, of the five schools
said to have increased salaries by
the greatest percentage in the
current year, three are in the
South-The University of Ken-
tucky, Tuskegee Institute in Ala-
bama, and Pan American College
in Texas. The other two were Par-,
sons College (Fairfield, Iowa) and
Wheelock College (Boston, Mass.)
The average salary for a full pro-
fessor at a university in the
South was reported to_ be $13,000,
compared with $15,602 for the rest
of the country. In church-related
liberal arts colleges, the full pro-
fessor's average salary was $10,554.
"Over the past two years the
acceleration in compensations for
all ranks has been quite steady
and quite remarkable," the report
said.
Prof. William Baumol of Prince-
ton, chairman of the committee,
said that this year's increases had
been most substantial at the top
ranks. In fact, he said, this is a
pattern seen in past reports-the
higher the rank, the more rapid.

Aid in Strike
By The Associated Press
Michigan's crippling construc-
tion strike entered its third day
yesterday amid indications the
federal government has been asked
to intervene.
Several construction worker lo-
cals struck their contractor-em-
ployers Monday to enforce new-
contract proposals.
George Bowman, a member of
the negotiating committee of the
Flint Area Contractors Association,
said Tuesday he has talked with an
:!.d of W. Willard Wirtz, U.S see-
retam'y of labor, hoping "to get a
federal or top-level investigation
of contracts in this area.'
