The Atomic Energy Commission disclosed this yesterday in its annual report, revealing also that the equipment and plans for swift resumption of atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons are essentially completed and ready for use if the pact is violated by any nation. The treaty prohibits atmospheric, outer space or surface tests of nuclear devices.

Announcement In announcing the first four arrests Tuesday, police charged that the detainees "recruited and sent a number of Malaysians to Indonesia for guerrilla and sabo- tage training." The arrests are expected to stir protests from opposition groups. But these would have little if any effect on Rahman's ailliance gov-' ernment. It controls four-fifths of the 159-seat house of representa- tives, the key lawmaking body. Pick Director Of Water Lab H. D.

Russia recently conducted an underground test from which ra- dioactive traces in the air were de- tected outside that country's boun- daries. Moscow, answering an in- quiry by the United States, was reported to have said this resulted accidentally. Bigger Bombs During 1964, the United States conducted 29 underground tests, ranging in yield from a few up to the 200-kiloton category, the com- mission reported. The AEC said bigger, deeper test caverns are being installed in the Pahute Mesa area of the Ne- vada test station. One of them is, being bored to a 13,670-foot depth-which will permit carrying -out "higher yield underground detonations." Less Earth Shock Studies have shown that the geological formations in the high and remote Pahute Mesa area "may not transmit earth shocks to off-site communities as read- ily as would formations at the more accessible parts" of the Ne- vada test station, the report said. Caverns, or rooms, at the bot- tom of the drilled holes have been excavated up to 900 cubic yards in size," the AEC said. This means that not only will there be ability to use bigger de- vices but to improve the decoupl-- ing techniques. In decoupling, the device is suspended free of di- rect, hard contact with the cav- ern walls. This dampens the trans- mission -of earth shock to the surrounding terrain. Study Concealment Several objectives are sought in decoupling, including a reduc- tion of damaging shock to com- munities outside the test site and providing a place for studying techniques which might be used by any country for concealing under- ground testing by reducing or eliminating the tell-tale seismo- graphic waves. In discussing the nuclear wean- ons program during 1964, the AEC said: "Among significant weapons de- velopment objectives were a pro- gram to increase the hardness and penetration capability of missile warheads so that their vulnerabil- ity to enemy anti-ballistic missile counter-measures is decreased: and, the development of relative- ly 'clean' (less radioactive fallout)j nuclear explosives for both stra- tegic and tactical use, as well as for peaceful applications. "Also, during the year, signifi- cant tests in the areas of nuclear safety and nuclear efficiency were conducted. Modernization of the stockpile through new production, and modification to existing weap- ons was achieved. Development continued toward the objective of providing improved devices for installation in nuclear weapons to p r e v e n t unauthorized employ- ment." { WASHINGTON ()-A chorus of bipartisan support arose yesterday for swift congressional approval of a constitutional amendment to establish procedures for filling vice-presidential vacancies and in- suring continuity of presidential leadership. Its volume far exceeded dis- sents which included the express- ed fear that the proposed presi- dential disability procedures might make possible a coup d'etat to un- seat an unpopular President. Foremost among favorable wit- nesses before a Senate judiciary subcommittee were Nicholas Katz- enbach, the newly designated At- torney General, and Herbert Brownell, who filled that cabinet post under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Public Hearing Under examination in the public hearing was an amendment spon- sored by Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind) and 75 other senators. Bayh, the subcommittee chair- man, said after the close of the one-day hearing that his group will vote Monday on the amend- ment. Its approval by subcom- mittee, parent committee and Sen- ate is considered a foregone con- ciusion. Sen. Roman L. Hruska (R-Neb) raised the question of a possible coup d'etat and suggested that having Congress act "violates the principle of the separation of powers" and could result in a prolonged political row during which neither President nor Vice- President could exercise the execu- tive powers. Debate While no witness voiced as strong objections as committee member Hruska, some suggested 'changes even though they did not oppose the principles of the amendment. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-Il), the Senate minority leader, urged the subcommittee to consider whether: -It would be better to require a two-thirds majorityt vote by Congress for confirmation of aI new vice-president; -The amendment should re- quire that the vice-presidential nominee be chosen from the ranks of the cabinet or Congress; -The President should be for- bidden to nominate a new vice- president from his home state. UN Consults On Indonesia UNITED NATIONS (P)-Secre- tary-General U Thant called in all members of the Security Coun- cil yesterday on consultation on Indonesia's withdrawal from the United Nations. A statement issued through a spokesman said that since there is no procedure in the UN char- ter governing withdrawal of a member, Thant had decided to consult informally with members of the Security Council and rep- resentatives of various groups on the matter. Indonesia's flag still flies at UN headquarters. Tnant arranged a separate aft- ernoon meeting with Soviet dele- gate Nikolai T. Federenko, then a group meeting with the ambas- sadors of the other four perma- nent members of the council. -Associated Press CHARLES EVERS, field secretary of the Mississippi National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, comforts Hiram Shelby as he mourns the death of his son who was killed last Friday in the Hinds County jail by a sheriff's deputy.

Ku Klux Klan At the same time in New Bern, N.C., three white men linked by the FBI to the Ku Klux Klan were jailed yesterday on charges of bombing a Negro funeral home and two cars parked outside a civil rights rally. The bombings last Sunday night were the first racial incidents in the North Carolina coastal town of 18,000 since last summer. FBI agents confiscated a Ku Klux Klan charter listing Ray- mond Duguid Mills as exalted cyclops of the KKK unit in New Bern. More than 150 editors of student papers throughout the nation have assembled for a weekend of lec- tures and seminars on national and international events. Today's session will feature panel discussions with correspond- ents and government officials covering such broadranging topics as Africa, world Communism, and poverty. The session will conclude with a special press conference by Sen. Jacob Javits (R-NY). The confer- ence shifts tomorrow to Columbia University and moves Monday to the United Nations. Tu skegee, U' Increase Exchanges t 1 s s i 4 k HARRISON SALISBURY Director Cites Cost Factors In Construction By NANCY STEIN The interaction of labor, supply and demand is the primary factor affecting construction costs at the University according to James Brinkerhoff, director of the plant extension department. The cost of housing facilities for students, he explained, changes with the degree of luxury and spaciousness that students request and not necessarily with the land space to be used. Contract Volume An important consideration this year in construction costs is the sheer volume of contracts to be awarded by the University and private industrial firms, he added. Brinkerhoff explained that the greater the amount of construc- tion available to$ construction firms, the higher the costs. The unavailabiltiy of labor plays an indirect part in establishing building costs. The contractor has to assure a sufficient amount of skilled labor to complete the job, and many times this includes overtime payments, Brinkerhoff said. When skilled laborers request an increase in wage rates or extra benefits, the contract prices for construction will be affected, he explained. Strikes in general primarily af- fect the work schedule, but the reasons behind- the strike cause changes in costs. Summarizing the labor factor, mBrinkerhoff said that someone must pay something and this appears in the construction contract. Automotive Influence The automotive industry has a further, impact on changes in con- struction costs. If business is good, more capital will be reinvested in brick mortar buildings in this area by the companies, Brinker- hoff explained. The big three auto firms have an extensive construc- tion program in southeastern Michigan, he said. Thegaffect ofthis industry is limited however, because for every dollar that goes into construction, on military intervention in gov- ernmental affairs, a U.S. mission spokesman said their relations Pere normal. They talked a little more than an hour. Khanh also had a talk with po- litical leaders of central Viet Nam, a stronghold of Buddhist power marked by continuing anti-Amer- ican agitation. The general, com- mander of the Vietnamese armed forces, has made it clear he now wants to keep in the good graces of the Buddhists. His new acting premier, Har- vard - educated Nguyen X u a n Oanh, ordered release of all per- sons arrested during the past week of demonstrations and riots ex- cept those suspected of being Viet Cong agents, Release Prisoners Saigon authorities, heeding this order, turned loose 79 Buddhist monks, 85 nuns, 132 students and 133 other persons. Among these were those picked up Jan. 22, when a mob smashed windows of the U.S. Information Service li- brary in widespread street fight- ing. But a Buddhist spokesman in Hue, 400 miles north of Saigon, said his group is still not satis- fied. He said it demands the ex- pulsion of Taylor, punishment of Huong for alleged activity against Buddhism and installation of Brig. Gen. Nguyen Chanh Thi as pre- mier. The military commander in the Hue area, Thi never used his troops against rioters such as the mob which sacked the U.S. In- formation Service library in that city and burned hundreds of its books. Two pamphlets illustrated diver- gent opinions in Saigon. Scattered through the streets was one urging support of Tay- lor and calling for the restoration of Huong as premier. Its source was not determined. Scurrilous The other, which a U.S. spokes- man called scurrilous, declared the United States has to- stay in Viet Nam for its own economic well- being and safety, regardless of in- sults and combat casualties. This pamphlet, distributed at Buddhist headquarters here last Sunday, came belatedly to the at- tention of American authorities. It follows a propaganda theme of the Viet Cong that the United Stateg would collapse if foreign aid wa canceled. It could not be determined whether the pamphlet was print- ed on orders of the sect's high command, but Buddhist leaders must at least have known of its existence. SStudents Plan Escort Service For 'U'Oen By GERALD DRISCOLL Prompted by the recent assaults on University coeds near the cam- pus area, two men's residence halls have established a service to escort girls from the main campus to their dorms at night. Since the beginning of the term there have been four reports of assault with intent to rape in Ann Arbor. The four victims are presently enrolled at the Univer- sity. An Ann Arbor police official said all of the assaults took place in the general vicinity of the North State St. and Huron St. in- tersection. Two were on North State, one on Huron and one on Ann St. All of the attacks oc- curred between 7 and 8 p.m. Same Man Details from the reports indicate all of the assaults were made by the same man. He is -reportedly a Negro in his late 30's. The police official said due to the length of time between the assault and the report, from 30 minutes to an hour, the police had very little chance to apprehend the man. He said the Ann Arbor police are on the lookout for a man fitting the description. John Bingley, director of stu- dent affairs and organizations, said Sanford Security officers were cooperating fully with the city in the case.

Plans are being made to send the University Symphony Or- chestra to Tuskegee in April. Also being finished are plans for a display of art work from Tuskegee. According to N. Edd Miller, assistant to the vice-president for v academic affairs and coordinator of the program, the subject of his recent visit to Tuskegee was to discuss the possibility of receiv- ing government or special foundation funds for the program. Miller explained that the program has expanded tremendously since its beginning in 1963. One of the most dramatic fields in the cooperative effort has been the rapid progress in race relations re- search. Tuskegee, an ideal place for field study, has done much to 4 _ further knowledge in this area, he said.
