ing how good business has been,"
but he declined to give any per-
centage comparisons for before-
and after-strike periods.

general news coverage given by
the Daily Press and Emergency
Press.
There have been many vexa-

Death Notices
A major funeral director agreed
this wasn't far fetched. He said
he suggested the Daily Press as a
medium for carrying paid orbitu-
ary notices, but insisted that half
those he phoned in hadn't ap-
peared.
One Daily Press staffer said the'
crush of advertising and a normal
10 p.m. close for a press run that
begins sometime between 6 a.m.
and 9 a.m. in a job shop were re-
sponsible. He explained the Daily
Press had to be sandwiched be-
tween the shop's normal commit-
ments.
Michigan just finished a state-
wide election, complicated by a
completely new alignment of both
congressional and legislative dis-
tricts. The strike came before reg-
ular newspapers could report new
congressional and legislative dis-
tricts. Some people went to the
polls without knowing who ,was
running for what in his immed-
iate district.
James Clark, news director of,
the Detroit News' WWJ Radio
and WWJ-TV stations, said spe-

load. Starting next. year the twoI
parts of the exam will be replaced
by one. Only students getting
outstanding grades in the test will
be admitted to the universities.
Those with average grades will
be allowed to continue in special-
ized schools designed to train
them for secondary posts in busi-
ness, industry and the professions.
Those students who do poorly will
get a second chance at the test.
When a student has finished his
baccalaureate he is at about the
junior-college level in the United
States.
License
Two years at a university, and
he will be able to obtain a "li-
cense," the equivalent of a bache-
lor's degree. A new diploma much
like the master's degree has been
instituted for two further years of
studies, while the "aggregation,"
corresponding to a doctorate of
philosophy, will be given for stud-
ies beyond that point.
Premier G e o r g e s Pompidou
stressed to the cabinet that no-,

planations "were just not suited
to television, and on radio were
even less effective."
More than two-thirds of the
4,100 employes of the Free Press
and News have been laid off be-
cause of the strike.
The Free Press shut down tight,'
furloughing practically 100 per
cent below those rating rank of
editor or department head. The
News has kept bookkeeping, ad-
vertising and editorial employes
on the payroll, but began this
week paying for afour-day, in.-
stead of five-day, week.
Earlier the News had insisted
that anyone with accumulated
vacation time take it off.
Neither the striking pressmen
nor plate handlers have any
money left in their strike funds,
but Freeman Frazee, president of
the local pressmen's union, esti-
Imated his members are obtaining
an average of two days a week
voik in other shops around the
City.
Added publications and expand-
ed shopper papers have made more
jobs for pressmen and plate han-
dlers. Normal crews in working
shops are now required to give up
at least one day's work so a striker
can take his place.
One pressman, who conceded
he averaged, with overtime, better
than $200 a week gross before the
strike, told a reporter: "I'm not
starving, but, let's face it, I've
seen better times."
150 Placed in Jobs
The Detroit Newspaper Guild
estimated it has been able to place
in jobs on the Daily Press and
elsewhere 150 of its 370 idled
members. Others are drawing ben-
efits ranging from $20j to X65 a:
week.
The International Typograph-
ical Union is paying its members
$90 50 a week in benefits and al-+
lowing them to work one day a
week without penalty.'
Stereotyters are drawing $70 a
week from their union, but cur
every day of outside work they
pick up they must forfeit one-
fifth of their benefit.
Audit Bureau of Circulation fig-
ures for March 31 gave the News
a daily circulation of 710,622 and
a Sunday distribution of 941,614.
For the Free Press the figures are
513,410 and 577,489, respectively.
Associaied Press Political Writer
WASHINGTON-Some Republi-
can leaders who have stood apart
or joined reluctantly in Sen. Barry
Goldwater's presidential campaign
are going after governorships in
1965 and 1966 in an effort to re-
gain party control.
While they aren't saying so pub-
licly, prominent GOP figures who
opposed Goldwater's nomination
are almost all convinced that the
Arizona senator will be defeated
in November by Democratic Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson. ,
Even if he is, however, Gold-
water will remain in control of the
GOP national machinery which
he and his conservative associates
have taken over lock, stock and
barrel. The moderates thus will
face the problem of how to regain
the party command they held at
the presidential level intil Gold-
water swept all before him at
San Francisco.
Impossible Task
mm informnalconferences the
moderates have agreed that it
would be an almost impossible
task to try to overturn conserva-
tive control of the National Com-
mittee, members of which were
elected for four-year terms at the
July nominating convention.
But they see the possibility,
through the election of Repubbli-
can governors who share their,
views, of making their weight felt
in the direction of party affairs
in the next four years and in the
choice of a nominee in 1968.,
In line with this thinking, Sen.
Clifford P. Case (R-NJ) has held.
open the possibility that he might
make the race for governor of New
Jersey next year.
California#
Although it is two years ahead,
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif)'
is reported considering the idea
of seeking the governorship in
California.
The moderates have an ally in
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller or Sen. Jacob K. Javits I
(R-NY)
Sen. Clifford Case (R-NJ), left, and Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-
Cal), have hinted they may seek governorships in their respective
states in 1965 and 1966. They aim to wrest control of the
Republican party machinery from Sen. Barry Goldwater, the
Republican presidential nominee.
In 1966 there are gubernatorial
races in 33 states, in which Re-
publicans now hold 13 offices.
Only a few of these GOP state
executives supported Goldwater
for the nomination, while several
openly opposed him.
Re-Election
Some of these governors can run
for re-election and some, like Gov.
William W. Scranton of Pennsyl-
vania who went down to the wire
against Goldwater at the conven-
tion, are barred by state law from
seeking further tenure.
The Republican moderates are
convinced that if Goldwater is
defeated in November, they can
sell the idea to state organizations
that their candidates for governor
will have to be more liberal than
the Arizona senator to win.,
