Survey Reports Optimism
On Economiy, Remains High
By CHRISTINE LINDER
Consumer optimism remained at a record high level during the
last three months of 1964, indicating continued strength in the nation's
economy, according to the December, 1964, Survey of Consumer
Attitudes and Inclinations to Buy as prepared by the University's
Survey Research Center.
A seven year peak in consumer optimism was reported in the
September survey.
Professors George Katona and Eva Mueller of SRC, who have
been conducting quarterly consumer attitude surveys since 1951,
make it possible to construct
enough buildings to accommodate
anyone, resident or not, who want-
ed to become a part of what he
termed "Michigan's unique higher
education set-up."
Ferency also attacked the "head
count" method of determining
appropriations to the state's col-
leges and universities, a meth-

recommendations.
Equal Education?
"I don't think anyone should
use a head-count as the sole de-
terminant in allocating funds. The
number of heads at Michigan
State University and the Univer-
sity may be the same numerically,
but the information being put in-
to those heads could be very di-
verse," he said.
Ferency also said University
President Harlan Hatcher "has
a point" when he claims that
the University should receive more
money since it educates more stu-
dents at the graduate level than
does any other Michigan Univer-
sity.
MSU President John Hannah
favors the head count method and
emphasis on undergraduate edu-
cation because he doesn't have
extensive graduate level educa-
tional facilities, Ferency said.
Ferency also claimed that
Democrats have and always will
support creation of an extensive
community college network in

Reveals Tax
Favor Freeing
$700 Million
WASHINGTON (YP) - President
Lyndon B. Johnson handed busi-
ness a $700 million tax favor yes-
terday, hoping to get in return a
voluntary clampdown on overseas
investment.
Johnson told 1100 industry
leaders at a meeting of the Na-
tional Industrial Conference Board
that the Treasury will soon an-
nounce liberalized tax guidelines
for plant and equipment and ma-
chinery depreciation.
The new rules have been ur-
gently sought by nearly every in-
dustry.
The action has been expected
for at least two months, but the
$700 million is twice or three
times as big as the Treasury has
indicated it would give.
"The new rules," Johnson said,
"will further encourage business
to scrap old equipment and bring
in new-and they will help busi-
ness to cut costs, raise efficiency
and hold the line on prices to
keep our expansion going."
He did not mention the worsen-
ed balance of payments deficit in
his 20-minute talk. But many of
his hearers will be among the
300 leaders of banking and indus-
try who go to the White House
today to hear Johnson's plans for
industry-government measures to
wipe out the payments gap.
To help close this gap, Johnson
told Congress last week he wants
American bankers to curtail vol-
untarily their long-term loans
abroad and wants United States
corporations to cut their invest-
ments in foreign plants.
Secretary of Commerce John T
Connor is expected to name a task

proposed several reasons for the
failure of consumer sentiment tc
rise beyond its already high level.
"Even under the impact of con-
tinued income increases, consum-
ers do not go overboard; aftei
prolonged good times, some of
them begin to wonder what may
sustain prosperity in the longei
run.
"The impetus of the tax cut,
which greatly contributedto op-
timism earlier 'in 1964, no longer
serves that purpose. Consumers
need new stimulation - either
through continued income in.
creases or through fiscal policy,'
Katona and Mueller said.
One exception to the tendenc3
for optimism to remain at the
same level-during the last three
months of 1964 was the even more
favorable outlook, which many
'consumers expressed regarding
the national economy for the nexi
12 months.
Unlike the September survey,
where many of the people report-
ing improvements in personal
finances were in the income
bracket above $10,000, the major-
ity of the people reporting im-
provements in personal finances
had incomes of $5000 to $10,000 ir
the December survey.
Pay increases were the most
frequently mentioned reason for
improvement in personal finances
although reduced debt and in-
creased asset holdings were also
mentioned.
Unemployment is one area to
which optimistic attitudes failed
to spread. News about unemploy-
ment was the most frequently
mentioned unfavorable condition
which respondents reported hear-
ing.
Moreover, confidence in th
general economic outlook appear
ed to have a somewhat differen
cause during the last three months
of 1964 than during the previous
three months.
"In December more people ex
plained their optimistic expecta
tions regarding business condi
tions by referring to governmen
measures that have been or wil
be undertaken," Katona and Muel
ler noted.

Faculty Body Argues
For Higher Salaries
Than 'U' Proposes
By ROBERT HIPPLER
Vice - President f o r Academic
Affairs Roger W. Heyns revealed
yesterday that though the admin-
istration will make "some accom-
modations" to the faculty in the
dispute over summer trimester
wage scales, it does not intend to
change the basic positions it ex-
pressed last fall on the issue.
But the chairman of the com-
mittee which drafted the faculty
position paper on the subject de-
clared last night that the commit-
tee still stands on the principles
of that report. Issued in Novem-
ber, the report calls for higher
summer pay than the administra-
tion's plan.
Both the faculty and the ad-
ministration took their stands last
year on the summer pay issue. The
faculty, in a report from the Sub-
committee on Economic Status of
the Faculty of, the Senate Ad-
visory Committee on University
Affairs, held that professors work-
ing half of the coming summer
term should be paid the same
amount they would be paid for
working half of a fall or winter
term,
The administration, in its latest
released report on faculty salaries
-dated June 29, 1964-recom-
mended that faculty working half
the summer term be paid about
88 per cent of the amount they
would be paid for half a fall or
winter term. Most professors have
planned to work no more than
half the summer term.
Consultations
Since the November faculty re-
port, administrators in the Office
of Academic Affairs have been
consulting with members of the
Subcommittee on Economic Status
of the Faculty in updating and
revising the adminstration's June
pay-scale statement. A copy 'of
the revised document has circu-
lated for comment among admin-
istrators but~ has not yet been
finally approved for release to the
faculty.
When told of Heyns' comment
that the "basic principles" of the
earlier administration statement
would remain unchanged,. Prof.
Dick A. Leabo of the business
administration school, chairman
of the faculty subcommittee, said
he had not yet seen the upcoming
administration statement. But he
added that the faculty committee
still stands on the differing prin-
ciples-higher summer pay-of its
November report.
Asked if he thought substantial-
ly fewer professors would be will-
ing to teach during the summer
under the lower pay of an admin-
istration plan, he declined com-
ment. But he said that "most fac-
ulty members are now busy" and
have "many alternative jobs to
turnto" during the period of the
summer term.
However, James E. Lesch, assist-
ant to the vice-president for aca-
demic affairs, when told of Heyns'
statement asserted that differ-
ences between the tenets of the
faculty position and those of the
coming administration report "are
not great."
'Not Substantially Less'
When asked if he thought sub-
stantially fewer professors would
be willing to teach under the pay
of the administration plan, he
predicted that the number of
those willing to teach would be
"not substantially less" than un-
der the faculty plan. N. Edd Mil-
ler, the assistant to Heyns most
closely connected with the drafts
of the administration's proposals,
was not available for comment.
Prof. Richard Wellman, chair-
man of SACUA, declined com-
ment on Heyns' statement. He
noted, however, that since the fall
"several modifications" to the ad-
ministration position have been
discussed by administrators and
faculty.

ASKS 'HANDS-UP' PROGRAM:

Daley Details Lhica go's War on Poverty
By MARK KILLINGSWORTH
"The objective of our attack on
poverty must be a 'hand up,' not a
hand-out," Chicago's Mayor Rich-
ard J. Daley said last night at
the second lecture in the sympo-
sium on American poverty.
"There is no better way to res-
cue able-bodied and employable,
but unemployed, men from their
present eroding idleness than to
give them meaningful work at
decent wages," Daley added,
stressing that Chicago's attack
on poverty is "just at the begin-
ning of a vast program."
The program, ultimately involv-
ing twenty-four area centers re-
sponsible for 61 per cent of the

He said the city's manpower
and education programs were of
major importance in combating
unemployment and poverty.
Richard Rothstein, from the
Chicago Economic Research and
Action Project sponsored by Stu-
dents for a Democratic, Society,
clashed with Daley during a "re--
actor panel" session after the
speech. Rothstein charged that,
the poverty program perpetuates;
feelings of dependency and in-
feriority in the poor.
No Less Paternalistic
He added that the program is
"no less paternalistic than past{
programs. The poor must be

and administrative process-but

He added that at a recent open-
ing of an Area Opportunity Cen-
ter "four people were outside
picketing while 450 were inside
talking with us. But we were
happy to invite the picketers in."
A small group calling itself the
"Ad Hoc Committee for Urban
Democracy" picketed Daley out-
side Hill Aud. In a statement is-
sued yesterday, the group charged
Daley with "hypocrisy" for talk-
ing about poverty when "the Daley
machine is mainly responsible for
perpetuating many conditions
causing blight in Chicago."
Create Jobs
Prof. James Morgan, project
director of the University's Sur-
o e Research Center and another
ore his poverty week speech about
cago's schools, Daley replied that
e"there has been no intentional
segregation in the city of Chicago.
What segregation we have -is just
due to the residential makeup. No
child is deprived of an adequate
education."
Daley also emphasized that he
has a limited role in determining
educational policy. He recounted
that in 1955, in response to
charges that politics were inter-
ferring with the educational sys-
tem, he pledged in his first cam-
paign for mayor that all educa-
tional matters would be handled
by the Board of Education with no
interference from the mayor's
office.
Commenting on the role of poli-
tics in Chicago, Daley asserted
the Chicago Democratic party was
not, as some political scientists
have suggested, the last of the old
political machines.
'We are the first of the new
machines," he said. "It's what's
accomplished thathcounts. Our
programs are in the interests of
the people in the city. This dif-
fers from the old machines which

the United States "will persist in

conference, he sought advice from
former President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower on solving the dangerous
confrontation with Communist
power there.
The President's attention to the
Viet Nam fighting-recently step-
ped up by Communist attacks on
United States installations and
American retaliatory raids-came
against a background of debate
on the issue in Congress and else-
where.
