LXXVI, No. 64S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1966 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES Vivian Talks About Issues In Congress Discusses Viet Nam, Open Housing Vote, Poverty Program By CAROLE KAPLAN 'Prosperity is rather inflated; justice is rather demeaned: peace is rather warlike." These were the comments of Rep. Weston Vivian (D-Ann Arbor) at a meeting of the Ann Arbor Democratic Party last night. Vivian discussed issues current- ly before Congress, stressing the war in Viet Nam, the poverty pro- gram and the proposed civil rights bill. He prefaced his remarks about Viet Nam with an account of how little influence the House actually has on short-term foreign policy, which is completely decided by the President and his staff. He said, however, that authori- ties agree the war is -escalating faster than it seems to be, and is in danger of extending into coun- tries other than Viet Nam. Vivian felt that both immediate withdrawal and increased bomb-- Ing of the North were undesirable policies; the former because it would leave many anti-Commun- Ists unprotected, the latter because the Communists "according to every evidence that I see, have no intention of quitting. They think that they'll win militarily, and they're going to try." Vivian stressed the importance of the coming election in South Viet Nam, which, he said, may lead to increased unity in the South. He said he has assurances from the State Department that the elections will be conducted fairly. Vivian's remarks about the pov- erty program were concentrated on party politics. He mentioned a Republican bill, which includes shifts in authority, but which he said had total costs almost the same as the Democratic bill. He added that, although the Re- publicans have many criticisms of the present War on Poverty, they would spend just as much money as long as they could run it their way. Concerning the present civil' rights bill, Vivian said most Demo- crats agree that the recent exemp- tion of homeowners and their, agents from the open housing re- quirement will provide the only chance of passing the bill at all. He said he was contacted by the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People and asked to vote for the amendiient Near the end of his talk, Vivian defended President Johnson, who, he said, is criticized by liberals and conservatives alike. He praised Johnson for his domestic achieve- ments and his foreign aid policies. Referring to voter demands, he said people want to stay in Viet Nam without having to pay in- creased taxes, without inflation and without cutbacks in other government spending. Vivian com- mented that this is simply im- possible. Vivian will face Marvin Esch, currently Republican representa- tive to the State Legislature from Ann Arbor, in the November elec- tion.

Voice Claims Prejudice inSte Plant Action Price Spac Hike May e Funds Says Sign Removal Act of Suppression, Willful Destruction By PATRICIA O'DONOHUE Members of Voice political party, the University's chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, yesterday said they will protest what they termed "outright po- litical supression" on the part of the University's plant department. They charge the department with the removal and destruction of a large Diag sign in connection with this weekend's picketing of the Dow Chemical Co. plant in Midland, Mich. Voice officials will deliver their complaints to J. Duncan Sells, director of student organizations, Monday. Sells said he will contact plant department officials about the complaints then. Office of Student Affairs offi- cials said the plant department has the authority to move a sign under either of two conditions: if it interferes with lawn mowing, when it may be moved to the gravel area in front of the UGLI, or if it is outdated, when it may be moved to the basement of the Student Activities Bldg. The department, which told OSA officials Thursday the sign was "terribly undesirable" and that "signs like that should be cen- sored by the OSA," moved the sign to the basement of the SAB Monday morning. Yet the sign, was not outdated until yesterday and an OSA offi- cial said they had not requested Voice to place the sign in the gravel area. Two signs that were, outdated, and one blank one, were on the Diag and in front of the UGLI yesterday afternoon. When the sign was replaced Wednesday afternoon, the depart- ment removed it a second time, telling OSA officials it had been smeared with paint and that the right-hand corner had been brok- en off. When Voice members found the sign, again in the base-- ment of the SAB, it had been broken in half. Alfred B. Ueker, plant manager, later told Voice members he knew nothing about the sign's removal. OSA officials who tried to con- tact him were told he was in a conference and could not bej reached. He later attended an un- expected meeting in Detroit and was unavailable for comment. Kenneth F. Wanty, plant de- partment official in charge of the: Diag, said he knew nothing about the sign's removal.T Robert Hanselman, departmentt foreman, said he had not removed the sign but that "there are othert divisions who may have requestedr the removal and who could havew done it themselves." A Voice spokesman said that "in order to rectify what Voice feelsx has been an inexcusably unjustk treatment, we expect the follow-f ing: "-a public apology from Uni-e versity President Harlan Hatcher. "-financial compensation fort the sign destroyed and "-public assurance from Gil- bert Lee, vice-president for busi- ness affairs, that such harassment will not occur in the future." t Limit THE SUBSTANCE OF VOICE'S COMPLAINT is shown here. The sign on the right, out of date, was still in front of the UGLI yesterday while Voice's sign, still advertising a coming event, had been re- moved.

VIOLENCE-PA CKED DEMONSTRATION: King Struck, with Rock' InCicag Rights Rall President Aecepts, But DelrsRise Johnson Frustrated By Lack of Power Over Companies WASHINGTON MP)-President Johnson struck yesterday at steel Price increases, saying such boosts ould' force a cult in government spending on things like the space program. Johnson made no direct mention of the $2-and $3-a-ton increases posted by nearly all producers this week on two types of steel. However, he is reported by the Washington Post to have decided against an attempt to induce steel manufactures to roll back steel Prices. The Post said he has en- ° eluded that the unanimity of the industry's action left him no al- ternative but to accept the $2 to $3 per ton price increase. Raps Hikes But in a statement upon his signing of the $5 billion author- ization bill for the space progrA, Johnson obviously was rapping t price hike when he said: "If par- ticular segments of our economy continue to raise their prices and increase the cost of this and other programs, it will be neces- sary for the government to further reduce its expenditures, particu- larly in those areas where prices are rising in an inflationary way." The White House has called the price increases in steel irrespon- sible and inflationary but the steel companies describe them as inconsequential and modest. Strip and sheet steel are the products covered by the price boosts and these are used to "A considerable extent in the space programs directed by the Nationial Aeronautics and Space Alministra- tion. Express Fear Although the White House has made no effort to roll back the in- creases, administration economists expressed fear yesterday that they may trigger a new spiral of ins flationary boosts in other fields. Johnson said maintenance of the space program needs the co- operation of major business lead- ers and union leaders 'and went on: "They must recognize in their price and wage decisions that there is a third party in the board room, in the union hall and at the bargaining table-the people of the United States. "If we are to continue are space effort and continue to make the magnificent progress represented by out' past achievements, we .can do so only if business and labor leaders will make their contribu- tion by responsible bargaining and pricing decisions." The NASA authorization which Johnson signed yesterday is for the fiscal year which began July 1. Actual appropriations for the space program In the preceding; fiscal year were $5.1 billion. Although the steel price increa8- es which go into effect next Wednesday are not as large as some made at other times, their possible impact on other Indus- tries is worrying administration economists. CHICAGO 0P) - Dr. Martin licemen came after King had( Luther King, Jr. was struck on, the head by a rock and a white youth was wounded by a knife thrown at King yesterday when rioting erupted in an all-white Southwest Side neighborhood. After some 800 Negro demon- strators had left the glass and rock littered area in chartered buses and cars, violence and gun- fire broke out between gangs of white residents and police. A viol- ent volley of stones rained on one bus. The buses were guarded by two policemen in each. Police estimated 5000 white per- sons were rioting in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. The eruption of violence between the residents and some 1200 po- moved most of the civil rights demonstrators out of the area. King, chairman of the South- ern Christian Leadership Confer- ence, was hit on the right side of the face by a rock when 'he emerged from a car in Marquette Park earlier to form the march. "It hurts, but it's not an injury," King shouted over the crowd of screaming, cursing, rock-throwing residents. As the marchers left the park thousands of white persons lined a slope overlooking the park and shouted "white power." A firecracker was thrown into keep coming back until we are safe from harassment. Until Ne- groes can move into the neigh- borhood the tenets of freedom will continue to decay." The marchers were pelted with rocks, bottles, cherry bombs and eggs-some dropped by residents perched in trees-as they moved slowly down the street six abreast. A group of white youths at- tacked a white policeman, stomp- ed on him and beat him. Police- men had topull the unconscious officer from the white crowd to get him into a police van. The group cheered when they saw the policeman was unconscious. More than 1200 policemen pa- troled the area and tried to con- trol thousands of white hecklers. There were numerous arests and injuries. The knife was hurled at King as he walked in the march. The knife struck a 19-year-old white youth in the left shoulder. Police took the bleeding youth to a hos- pital where he was treated and released. The marchers reached a real es- tate office, one of four the dem- onstrators picketed earlier yester- day, then marched back to Mar- quette Park. The demonstrators- white and Negro, men and wom- en, some clergy and nuns - were marching in protest against al- leged housing discrimination. The marchers returned to the park,loaded into three buses and moved out as thousands of white residents cheered. A hill overlooking the park was jammed with hooting, screaming people. It was at the park in the Chica- go Lawn neighborhood-the area tornby violence Sunday when the same demonstrators marched - that King was knocked to his knees by a rock as he emerged, from a car. He was struck on the right side of the head. A UTOS TRUCKING, CLOTHING . . Air Strike--Hint of Labor Troubles To Come WASHINGTON (A)-The airline strike, for all its uproar, may be just a small thing compared to what's ahead in labor-manage- ment warfare-and the problem of settling economy-crippling strikes. This is true because 1966 is not a year in which many big wage contracts must be negotiated. But next year-that's a different story, with contracts expiring in the giant auto, trucking, rubber and clothing industries. Also in 1967 there will be new contracts to be hammered out for paper workers, leather workers, food processors and meat packers, and telephone and telegraph in- dustries. . Strikes are a distinct possibility. If they occur, and persist, new demands that the government "do something" will surely arise, and as surely be resisted in some quarters. ployes, the Communications Work- ers of America has called for a strike vote by its 24,000 members who work as installers for the Western Electric Co. The results of the vote will be announced Aug. 20. In New York City, the building trades employers' association re- ports the majority of construction projects in the city has been dras- tically affected by strikes of hoist- ing engineers and plumbers. On the big-business scene, there's a prospect of hot trouble this summer or fall between the International Union of Electrical Workers and the General Eelectric Co. For months, GE has been exper- iencing strikes called sporadically by small groups of IUE members at the home base plant in Schen- ectday, N.Y. The IUE and GE already are The general counsel of the Na- tional Labor Relations Board ear- lier this month announced dismis- sal of the company's charges against the eight-union grouping, and a complaint was issued in re- sponse to union charges that the company should have met with the unions during pre-negotiation discussions. Hearings on the com- plaint are to begin Aug. 16. A General Electric vice presi- dent, Virgil B. Day, characterized the NLRB counsel action as "es- calating the probability of a na-I tional strike in the electrical in- dustry for the first time in his- tory." However, GE chief negotiator, Philip D. Moore, said recently that he does not believe a strike is in- evitable, If an electrical industry strike should come to pass, the results could make the airlines strike and which threaten irreparable dam- age to the national interest." He was reminded of this-and the lack of any follow-up-at a news conference July 21 and ex- plained why it has not material- ized. , "We have been unsuccessful in getting legislation that the sec- retary of labor and the other members of my Cabinet felt ac- ceptable and that we felt would have any chance of passage in the Congress," Johnson said. Government Limits Johnson has had trouble also in his efforts to hold down infla- tion by means of limiting pay raisesbto 3.2 per cent a year. For example, the New York transit strike was settled with an in- crease the Labor Department es- timated at about 4.6 per cent. Another example-two big lum- ber pinionnsin _the Paific Noreth- pressing the guideline on unions. As for legislation to forbid strikes that harm the public in- terest, Secretary of Labor W. Wil- lard Wirtz believes Congress could not improve much on the Rail- way Labor Act, which governs only railroads and airlines. In this procedure, the National Mediation Board gets into a dis- pute and can hold onto it indef- initely. Then, if it decides it can't do anything, it releases the parties and the union can strike. But the President then can appoint an emergency board, as he did in the airline case, automatically delay- ing any strike for at least 60 more, days under the law.f Fact-Finding One of the things Wirtz likes about the Railway Labor Act is that the emergency board has the authority of law to hold hearings and come up with detailed recom- Students from Britain at 'U' Study U.S. Culture, Government By MICHAEL DOVER It appears that the quickly dis- appearing idea of British life as quiet and reserved is actually the impression that part of a group of 64 adult education stu- dents from the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and New- castle upon Tyne have of the TTni r t Cf n+Pe conferences for the Extension Service. This weekend the group is in Buffalo, N.Y. They also plan to visit Niagara Falls before return- ing Monday. They leave for New York Aug. 10, and fly home from there the 12th.
