Judge Warnas Thieves By ROBERT KLIVANS "A person who obtains a conviction for larceny will have a record which is very difficult to explain when applying for professional school, enlistment in the Armed Services, and employment." With this warning, Judge Francis L. O'Brien of the Ann Arbor Municipal Court explain- ed yesterday the seriousness of what many University students have considered a harmless prank. He referred to the ris- ing tide of minor thefts re- ported by merchants around the city. "The grocery stores, A & P particularly, have complained bitterly about the amount of theft. Inventory has decreased in a 1 a r m i n g proportions," O'Brien commented. He contin- ued that, whereas in the past merchants often warned stu- dents who were caught stealing, they were no longer tolerating any form of theft. More Crimes O'Brien released a statement recently which clarified the ris- ing proportion of c r i m e s, "There have been 83 convic- tions for larceny since Dec. 1 as compared with 34 cases over the same period last year." O'Brien said he could not find any significant reason for the increase. However, John Miles, chairman of Joint Judi- ciary, attributed the problem to the fact that "the word around the quads and around town is 'you can get away with it'." The simple truth is that the chances for getting away with it are growing slim. A two- pronged attack by merchants and authorities to discourage larceny has been started. Preventive Measures The local retailers have in- itiated preventive measures to observe the slightest theft. Campus Drugs, for example, has a one-way mirror in the store, and a full-time employe watches the activity. Several grocery stores are reported to have floorwalkers on duty at all times. -Daily-James Keson JUDGE FRANCIS L. O'BRIEN (above) of the Ann Arbor Municipal Court issued a warning yesterday of a crackdown on petty larceny, in reference to the rising tide of minor thefts reported by merchants around the city.

This may be a reason for the statis- tical increase in reported thefts, since many merchants only issued warnings in the past. Consequences will be serious for individuals brought before the court, O'Brien said. "Although jail sentences have been imposed in the past, the rate of theft has continued to increase," he explained. "Therefore, regardless of the personal consequences to the individual, those who assume the risk of stealing, even though the amount involved is relatively small, must expect to go to jail." Most of the crimes have been larcenies of less than $100. Such offenses are -classified as misdemeanors, and carry a maximum penalty of a $100 fine plus costs and restitution and/or 90 days in jail. In addi- tion, any University student can also face charges before Joint Judiciary for the same crime. , Judge O'Brien estimated that a "fair" percentage, possibly as high as 50 per cent, of those charged were University stu- dents. Joint Judiciary records show that since Christmas there have been 15 cases of larceny ruled on or pending. "Last year I remember one," noted Miles. Above all, O'Brien empha- sized that even the most minor theft is marked on the student's record. He described the num- ber of students convicted as "much higher than it should be" and urged all to consider the eventual consequences of a hasty action. ept to collect over $28,000 a, ear." This revenue, surpassing rnnual administrative expenses, is eing funneled into an idle 136,000 surplus fund, the report harges. William Perigo, assistant to the irector of student activities and rganizations, answered last night hat the "E" sticker is a "protec- ve tax" on the student for the rivilege of maintaining a car on 3mpus. Surplus Funds He explained that the surplus emaining after the payment of for Backers orm Plan rn (D-Highland Park) tried yes- v.

But he admitted he vas having trouble finding back-, rs. Gov. George Romney will meet Vonday with House Speaker Jo- eph Kowalski (D-Detroit) to dis- uss "specific fiscal reform pro- osals," Kowalski reported yester- lay. Still Hope "The candlelight of hope is still dickering," the Republican gov- rnor said Thursday in an assess- nent of the climate for tax re- ision. Brown said the apparent cause f his difficulty in finding co- sponsors of the old Romney pack- ge is that those senators who are nterested at all in a tax plan re drafting their own and don't want to be associated with an- ther set of bills. The 1963 Romney plan was in he same general pattern as most iscal ideas currently being dis- ussed-cut the sales tax on food nd drugs, enact an individual and orporate income tax, eliminate he business activities tax. Disagreement "There are lots of specifics in t that I don't agree with," said Brown. "But at least it's a vehicle" -that is, something to get the egislative process started even if he bill itself is heavily amended. An income tax bill has already een introduced in the House by rep. George Montgomery (D- )etroit). Brown also is awaiting rom the legislative bill drafting ervice two of his own tax plans elieved to encompass a high rate, tating that Democrats would ex. lore fiscal reform did not con- ince Romney that success in his ft-announced aim is imminent. u Klux Klansmen A in Right surder administrative costs are placed in a special fund earmarked for the construction of on-campus park- ing facilities. He estimated the fund at $125,000. The graduate report claims, however, that the auto permit money originally collected to fi- nance student parking facilities in the campus area is no longer sought with that intent. "Parking structures have been ruled out due to the cost of $2000 per car" to build a structure, the report states. It adds that no ef- fective alternatives have been pro- posed by the administration to "alleviate the increasingly crowd- ed conditions of the campus area streets." Rising Costs Perigo conceded that rising property costs have made financ- ing new structures difficult. But he said his office, in conjunction with a special student-adminis- trator driving committee, is seek- ing less expensive alternatives to alleviate the parking situation. As an example of their efforts he cited the rental of the top two floors in the Thompson St: park- ing structure for student use. Perigo raised the possibility of a plan whereby automobiles could be parked on North Campus facili- ties and the students bussed into the Central Campus-financed by the "E" sticker fees. This method of .'remote parking" has been used successfully on other urban campuses such as the University of Illinois, Perigo said. The GSC report does not spe- cifically rule out these alterna- tives, but calls for a survey of students, faculty and employes probing their sentiments on pos- sible solutions. Traffic Patterns The report stresses that the "solution to the parking problem can only be arrived at in con- Junction with the planning of fu- ture housing developments." It also urges a study of future traffic patterns, claiming that adminis- trators are charting needs on the basis of current traffic and park- ing patterns. * The graduate report is also critical of the present use of "E" sticker funds which are support- ing administrative costs. "The present sticker sales pay the sal- aries of two part-time secretaries, 1 one full-time administrator and three full-time patrolmen plus operating costs," it declares. Perigo defended the need for these employes as a protection to students. The University has conducted a long-range study of physical de- velopment, the Central Campus plan, which includes the creation of several parking structures. However, officials have con- ceded privately that these spaces will barely be sufficient to handle the influx of faculty and employe automobiles. On $50,000 Bail Bonds Johnson To Step Up Legal War on Klan, Proposes Legislation LOWNDESBORO, Ala.JP)-Four Alabamians described by the FBI as Ku Klux Klansmen were ar- rested yesterday on charges of conspiracy in the highway ambush slaying of a Detroit civil rights worker near Big Swamp, Ala. They were brought before United States Commissioner in Birming- ham and ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bond each. Their attorney said the bond was exhorbitant. Several hours later three of the men were released on bond. They were Eugene Thomas, William Orville Eaton and Gary Thomas Rowe. On Probation The fourth man, Collie Leroy Wilkins Jr., remained in jail. He was convicted in federal court last November on a charge of possess- ing an unregistered shotgun and placed on probation for two years. President Lyndon B. Johnson announced the arrests in Wash- ington and immediatelyndeclared he was stepping up his personal war against the Klan. The four Klan members were charged under a federal statute with violating the civil rights of Mrs. Viola Gregg Liuzzo, 39-year- old Detroit mother of five. Maxi- mum penalty is 10 years in prison, a $5,000 fine or both. Murdered Mrs. Liuzzo was shot in the head as she drove along U.S. 80 between Montgomery and Selma, Ala., last night. Mrs. Liusso was returning to Montgomery after transporting a group of civil rights marchers to Selma. In Washington, Atty. Gen. Nich- olas Katzenbach was asked if he expects any further arrests in the case and he replied: "I think we have got the men we want." Legislation The President announced he was calling for special legislation to root out the Klan, saying he had directed Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach to draft such a law. He suggested the proposed bill go to Congress after the new voting rights bill. Johnson also suggested that congressional committees might want to start immediate investiga- tions. Such an investigation has been proposed by Rep. Charles L. Weltner (D-Ga). Johnson announced the arrests in Washington only 16/, hours after the slaying. Scores of agents who were in the Selma-Montgomery area be. cause of a Negro voter drive swarmed into an intensive in- vestigation under direct orders from the President.

NASA Grant Aids Diffraction Studies By CAROL GODOSHIAN The University's studies in a field where basic research has yielded applications in b o t h science and industry will continue this year supported by a $146,000 grant from tle National Aero- nautics and Space Administration. The field is that of research on techniques for ruling improved large diffraction gratings.

Large pools of water frequently have covered sidewalks in several places. Alfred P. Ueker, manager of the plant department, said he realize$ there is a drainage and snow clearance problem. The plant de- partment and engineering depart- ment are studying a drainage and irrigation system. They hope tr act on it within the next six months, he added. The plan isrto install drains in the grass area which will not freeze in winter, so the campvr area will drain properly through- out the year. The irrigation sys- tem would also keep the grass watered during the dry summer season. As soon as the snow first falls, snow removal crews from the plant department are at work on. campus. They must clear 1300 acres of campus. University Hos- pital receives first priority. Roads and sidewalks leading to it mus' be cleared in case of emergency. The campus area is cleared stances by studying the light they absorb or emit. Prof. George W. Stroke, head of the Electro-Optical Science Laboratory, who was awarded the grant jointly with Prof. Orren C. Mohler, chairman of the astro- nomy department, explained how the grant will be used and dis- cussed the conti'butions of spec- troscopy to modern science and industry. Technology "A grating," he explained, "is an array of parallel grooves ruled on an aluminized glass mirror. There are from 7500 to 60,000: grooves per inch." When light strikes a grating, it is broken up into its constituents. This is what would happen if it were passed through a prism, but a grating permits more consti- tuents of the light to be distin- guished more clearly. An atom which has absorbed a suitable amount of energy will emit light at specific frequencies or colors which are characteristic of it. Thus, by analysis of its spectrum, its identitfy can be de- termined. Construction The special interest of the stud- ies supported by the NASA grant is in the construction of diffrac- tion large enough to be used in astronomy. The larger gratings permit light to be resolved from stars a greater distance away from the earth. "Ninety per cent of our basic knowledge of the universe comes from spectroscopy," Stroke said. A few months ago, the atmos- phere of Venus was found to con- tain water vapor. A diffraction grating was sent up in a balloon, under the direction of Prof. John Strong of John Hopkins Univer- sity. From the spectrum of the light reflected from the planet it was found that its atmosphere absorbed light in a way that proved it contained water. vapor. Larger Gratings The best gratings now are 10 inches. Stroke said the project will try to develop gratings of 30 to 40 inches. Since the grooves on where they enter into the proce of controlling the composition 1 lnv nl i rr n ln x 1111 alloys and in criminology wnere they might be used in the exam- ination of blood stains on a sus- pect's clothing. One of the greatest advances in the ruling of diffraction grat- ings was made in 1954 by Stroke and Prof. George R. Harrison at Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. !"The principle introduced at MIT has .become the pattern for ruling engines around the world," Stroke said. In addition, the development opened the way for industrial ap- plication in the field of optics of $50 million a year. Working with Stroke and Moh- ler are Frank Dention, who re- cently joined Stroke from MIT, and Paul A. Weyrich of Randall Laboratory of Physics. The grant, is a continuation of a $135,000 grant awarded to Stroke last year. -$25 million for grants to state departments of education for planning and cardying out state-7 wide educational programs.

Akhtar described his picketing as an effort to "do my duty by telling Americans that this cul- tural show does not represent Pak- istani culture." His picket signs contained such slogans as "America-this is notj Pakistan," and a quotation from: the Koran, reading "And do not go abroad exhibiting your charmsj and beauties." Members of the PSA, comment- ing on Akhtar's one-man cam- paign, said dances are an integral part of Pakistani culture and that the cultural show was a Pakistani, not Islamic, show. They also pointed out that most of the women in the show were Americans. PSA members asserted that Pakistan itself is changing and that the code upon which Akhtar insists is no longer observed by many Pakistanis. tl fi c a c ti it B 1E ti b R D ft b s p v 0 I MIDWEST TO MADISON AVENUE: How To Become Rich with Minimum Effort By JOYCE WINSLOW Once upon a time there was a very poor Midwestern boy who wore one pair of corduroy overalls all through college. When he graduated he-applied for a job at an advertising agency. "What can you do?" asked the grey-flannelled, briefcase-carry- ing man who spent his life writing soap commercials. "I can read Racine in French," replied the poor boy, fresh from a liberal arts education. "Well, no one is perfect," shrugged the man with the martini in his hand and gave the boy $15 a week to carry heavy packages. But the poor boy dropped too many packages and was relegated to the radio department of the agency. There he worked, when lo and be- hold, with minimum effort he became the vice-president for television at Benton and Bowles Agency in New York. 'Young Pr. Malone' He helped create the teleprompteraand "Young Dr. Malone" and discovered that the more he made Malone's fans cry, the higher the TV ratings went. And the TV ratings went up and up and the young man was a success. Then the voung man wrote a book about his experiences and the population who preferred light entertainment that does not make them think. He said that there was nothing wrong with a little light .enter- tainment, if really stimulating drama and fine music were also to be presented on TV. However, he continued, television networks tried scheduling a lot of high quality entertainment and found that people simply turned off their television sets. College Preparation "I graduated from college trained for culture," said Mead. He said that this type of training led to two possible careers: teaching culture, or going into mass culture. Mead thought the mass culture trap could be slowly eliminated by gradually raising the quality level of TV programming. He said the growth of community theatres and such programs which actively involved people in culture could also help beat the mass culture rut. Mead, who describes himself as a man "interested in every, thing," said that educational TV could be a fantastically exciting thing. He thinks there is no end to the possibility of what America could do with television and that British TV programs tend to be of higher quality because they were not dependent upon advertising for monetary support. e .,,,
