Johnson Pushes
Immigration Bill
Asks (nigr'ess To Scrap Old Quotas,
Add Law Based on Skils, Family
WASHINGTON (A)-President Lyndon B. Johnson urged Con-
gress yesterday to take "long overdue action" on his immigration
bill outlined in his State of the Union message.
"The fundamental, longtime American attitude has been to
ask not. where a person comes from but what his personal qualities
are. Violation of this tradition by the national origins quota system
does incalculable harm," Johnson said. "The procedures imply that
men and women from some coun-
tries are, just because of where
they come, from, more desirable
citizens than others."
First preference under the bill
] would be given to those with the
kinds of skills or attainments
which make the admission espe-
cially advantageous to our society.
Other preferences would favor
close relatives of citizens and per-
k manent residences, and thus serve
to promote the reuniting of fam-
ilies - long a primary goal of
American immigration policy.

School Aid.
Bill Praised
By Hatcher
University President Harlan
Hatcher was among the many
Michigan educators whowelcomed
the federal aid to education pro-
gram which President Lyndon B.
Johnson recommended to Con-
gress.
Under the plan, Michigan would
get an estimated $38,767,908 in
federal funds to be used for school
districts serving low-income fam-
ilies and to improve educational
levels from kindergarten to college.
Commenting on the aid, Hatch-
er said "The need in the nation is
so urgent and overwhelming that
federal participation has long
since become inevitable.
"President Johnson's message
will do more to emphasize the to-
tal nature of the problem than to
solve any one of its many aspects,
but it can be regarded as a step in
the direction of higher level sup-
port for education throughout the
state.
"We must be sure, however,I
that a larger measure of federal
WHITE HOUSE TALKS:
Sato Agrees Red
Drive Must Halt
WASHINGTON (P) -President
Lyndon B. Johnson and Prime
Minister Eisaku Sato of Japan
yesterday dug into the problem
towering over the peace of Asia
-a nuclear armed China - and
agreed Communist expansion must
be resisted.
American officials, reporting
this, said the great bulk of the
two days of talks between Sato
and Johnson zeroed in on policy
toward Red China and Southeast
Asia.
This is the volatile area where
indirect confrontations of China
and the United States have erupt-
ed in hostilities being fought by
allies of each in South Viet Nam
and Laos, an area with which Ja-
pan has historic economic ties.
Differ on Trade
The officials noted that while
there is no difference in United
States and Japanese positions on
Red Chinese expansion and power,
there are different views on trade
with the Peking regime.
This was underscored in a final
communique issued by the two
heads of government earlier in the
day. It did not touch on China's
new nuclear power but did make
these points:
-Japan and the United States
would maintain close consultation
on Red China.
-Sato said it is basic Japanese
policy to firmly maintain its se-

Crisis over
A ircraft Cut
LONDON (A)-Britain's Labor
government faced a rebellion in
the aircraft industry last night
over plans to cut spending on mili-
tary aircraft.
A major industrial crisis con-
fronted Prime Minister Harold
Wilson's new administration as in-
dustry leaders and trade union-
ists joined in alliance.
Angry demonstrations and pro-<
test meetings by thousands oft
workers-who are afraid they will
lose their jobs if the cuts go
through-gathered pace all over
the country.
Ten Thousand
Ten thousand workers scheduled
a mammoth march through Lon-
don today.
The revolt stemmed from pro-I
posed cuts in military spending
aimed at pegging the defense
budget at 2 billion pounds ($5.6{
billion).'
Cheaper in America
Only one TSR-2 has flown sof
far. But the whole project, start-
ed by the Conservative govern-<
ment, will cost an estimated 600
million pounds ($1.6 billion). The
government says it could get a
fleet of TFX planes for half that
price.
Industry leaders say contem-
plated cuts could threaten the
jobs of some 99,000 workers in
aircraft and component factories1
scattered throughout the country.1
They claim that scrapping the1
TSR-2 alone wduld deal a body
blow to Britain's entire aircraft
industry and its ability to keep
up to date in the technological
race.Ii

WASHINGTON-Two United States fighter-bombers were shot
down over Laos yesterday and an army spotter plane was downed
near the Viet Nam-Cambodian border. Loss of these two jets brought
to six the total number of American reconnaissance or fighter
jets that have been shot down by ground fire in Laos since last June.
VIENTIANE-Two companies of North Vietnamese engineers
stationed at Bane Nga Nasone on the Laotian-North Vietnamese
border are now building a road between there and Dien Bien Phu
in North Viet Nam, a communique said today. It added that between
Jan. 2 and Jan. 6 minor engagements took place at nine separate
areas, mostly south of Vientiane, between government and pro-
Communist Pathet Lao forces.

Re or ed in
UNITED NATIONS (P) - Secre-
tary-General U Thant conferred
separately yesterday with the chief
delegates of the United States and
the Soviet Union but apparently
failed to make any progress in
resolving the crisis over UN peace-
keeping debts.
The secretary-general was open-
ing a last round of efforts aimed
at avoiding a U.S.-Soviet confron-
tation when the General Assem-
bly reconvenes Monday after a
New Year's recess.
No Comment
Stevenson met with Thant and
later told reporters that, pending
the negotiations Thant was hold-
ing with representatives of vari-
ous countries, "There's nothing I
can say."
Fedorenko met with Thant for
about an hour also, but the Rus-
sian did not make himself avail-
able to newsmen.
Philippine Ambassador Salva-
dore P. Lopez also conferred with
Thant.
Financial Crisis
"My impression is that no prog-
ress was made in resolving the fi-
nancial crisis," Lopez told news-
men. He added that "there has
been no change for the better"
since the Assembly recessed Dec.
30.
Meanwhile, UN officials disclos-
ed that the Soviet Union paid
$3.5 million into the UN treasury
yesterday on its regular assess-
ment for 1964. The Soviet Union
made a similar $1.3 million pay-
ment during the last week of De-
cember.
The payment, however, was
not anywhere near enough to
avoid a challenge of its voting
rights in the Assembly. This would
require payment of around $21.7
million.

.to End Strike
NEW YORK EM) - Longshore
leaders launched a campaign yes-
terday to sell their rank-and-file
members a repudiated labor con-
tract that could end a strike of
60,000 east and gulf coast dock-
ers. They called it "operation
facts."
A new vote on the contract
is scheduled, but no date has been
set pending completion of the sales
campaign.
Letters were sent out to 24,000
New York longshoremen, whose
rejection of the proposed contract
last Friday was followed Sunday
midnight by the Maine-to-Texas
pier walkout. The strike has idled
some 200 vessels and is costing an
estimated more than $20 million a

than the technological interest of
the manufacturing sector of the
U.S. or Michigan economies."
With respect to the Michigan
economy the report states, "The
primary metals and the met4l-
working industries (including mo-
tor vehicles) constitute the core of
Michigan's manufacturing econo-
my, yet relatively little research
emphasis has been given to the
related technical subject areas in
the four Michigan universities
during the past 15 years."
The report adds that part of this
problem is due to failures in "tech-
nological communication." Specif-
ically, the national defense orien-
tation of post-World War II re-
search in Michigan (and else-
where) is noted. This research ori-
entation has continued, the report
states, in spite of the establish-
ment of the defense systems pro-
duction on the West Coast and
of continued state industrial em-
phasis, down to the present, on
consumer and producer durable
goods.
Opposite
"Just the opposite appears to'
have occurred in California and
Massachusetts, where universities
and industry have been pursuing
more closely related fields of in-
terest as a result of their mutual
involvement in defense and space E
programs," the report states.
However, "This does not mean
that it would be desirable for
state universities to orient their
research programs completely to
state needs.
"One of the most likely avenues
for achieving the economic growth
needed in Michigan during the
next decade can be opened by
learning how to fully utilize these
university resources in a manner
compatible with the existing cap-
abilities within Michigan indus-
try and future technological needsj
and in a manner consonant with
the overall educational objectives t
of the state universities."
