F1 II)AY, OCTC1$ER 16, 1964 'I'HE MICHIGAN DAILY irAf : f+Y r'{t! FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 21 * r~u' 'u~wt~wuu U Ji~sZS i'riZ~aZti~ News Unions Silent on Offer By The Associated Press DETROIT-Publishers of this city's two newspapers have urged the unions striking them to accept the terms--mediation followed by binding arbitration-recommend- ed by a three-man committee ap- pointed by Gov. George Romney. But as of last night, the unions had no comment on the recom- mendation. The commission, named by Romney to try and solve the three-month-old strike of press- men and plate and paper handlers at The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, submitted the pro- C dural recommendations in lieu offailure to halt the strike. The recommendations, endorsed by Romney, urged that: 1) Each side reconsider its posi- tions and report any significant changes by Oct. 19.I 2) If settlement on all issues is not reached by Oct. 26 a neu- tral person or persons should be authorized to mediate and if no agreement is reached by Nov. 1, to become binding arbitor. 3) If mediation-arbitration is accepted and arbitration becomes necessary, the issues be stipulated. The" commission listed these two issues as predominant: Night Shifts 1) "A demand by those who work Saturday night shifts for the Sunday morning editions that they shall receive some kind of premium pay recognition for such work, and 2) "Demands by the publishers and the pressmen relating to con- tract 'manning' requirements for press operations." The commission said a third issue was the pressmen's demands for paid washup time or alternate work clothing arrangements. Romney said both sides should accept the procedural proposals. If they are rejected he said, "then the unions and the publish- ers will have to answer to the public of Michigan for their ac- tions." The commission said failure to achieve settlement promptly "will indicate, to us and we think to the public, a failure of leadership re- sponsibility on either or both sides." Economic Issues The commission said it did not believe economic force would re- solve the issues. It said the parties should agree to resume publica- tion at the time any agreement on binding arbitration is signed. The commission was composed of Episcopal Bishop Richard Em- rich, Prof. Russel Smith of the' University Law School, and Wayne' State University President Clar- ence Hillberry. . The newspaper strike is now entering its fourth month. The strike started July 13. It was then that 291 pressmen and 150 plate handlers walked out at the morn- ing Detroit Free Press and even- ing Detroit News in support of new contract demands. Hi Karen Originally, one stumbling block was a demand by Free Press press- men for time-and-a-half pay for any work done Saturday night on Sunday's paper, even if this work fell within their normal 35-hour work week. Later the pressmen said they rescinded this demand, but the publishers said the pressmen had added a demand for a paid lunch hour and other fringes that out- weighed in costs their original demands. In the early stages publishers bought prime television time to ex- plain what they termed "a fair, equitable and generous offer" and laid blame for the news blackout to the strikers, the only two unions among several to refuse to settle for similar terms. The strikers proclaimed in a news conference the "justice" of their demands and argued for more bargaining-table meeting in preference to television debate. court Ousts Detroit Law Comp.laints LANSING 1P)-The Michigan Supreme Court yesterday dismiss- ed a complaint asking it to pre- vent the State Civil Rights Com- mission from nullifying Detroit's "home-owners' rights ordinance." The Greater Detroit Home- owners Council contended the commission had publicly an- nounced an intention to act against the ordinance. But Chief Justice Thomas Kavanagh said the complaint gave the court no issues to act upon. Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley, repre- senting the rights commission, had sought the dismissal. He contended the commission has not indicated "it intends to exercise powers other than those granted by the Constitution." He further contended the home- owners council presented no facts entitling it to the relief sought. The court was not asked to rule on the ordinance itself. A spokesman for the rights com- mission said the ordinance is "by no means a dead issue," but said commission plans regarding it still are unsettled. Earlier statements from civil rights groups indicated that the ordinance would be attacked both on issues of unconstitutionality and on procedurals issues. APPOINTMENTS: Viet Nam May Junk Election By The Associated Press SAIGON-Sources close to the South Vietnamese government's 17-man High National Council said it has decided to junk plans for a general election to choose a new Congress. Instead, it will appoint all congressmen. The reported reason was a dan- ger that the Communists, who control much of the countryside, could score a moral victory through demonstrations and cast- ing of blank ballots even though they listed no candidates. Meanwhile a firing squad executed Nguyen Van Troi, the Viet Cong guerrilla who sought to blow up U.S. Defense Secretary McNamara last spring. In a Sai- gon courtroom, the possibility of death sentences loomed before 13 military officers and civilians called to trial on a charge of treason in the abortive coup of Sept. 13. Brig. Gen. Lam Van Phat, a former interior minister who is one of the chief defendants, testi- fied U.S. Deputy Ambassador U. Alexis Johnson told him 10 hours after the rebel troops occupied Sai- gon: "Do anything you want, but avoid bloodshed." From foreign ministry sources came word that Lt. Gen. Tran Thien Khiem, absentee member of the ruling military triumvirate, will be South Viet Nam's new am- bassador to Washington. A controversial figure to a diplomatic tour Khiem is believed to be assigned abroad, in Hong Kong. The Washington embassy has been run by a charge d'affaires since Ambassador Do Vang Ly was dismissed following the 1963 coup that toppled the Ngo Dinh Diem regime. U U U of M CTIZENS FOR JOHNSON-HUMPHREY MEETING Guest Speakers: Robert C. Angell, Sociologist Daniel R. Fur feld, Economist Carolyn D. Lewis, Prominent Republican FRIDAY OCT.16 8:00 P.M. Arborlond Community Room -Associated Press THE ABSENCE OF PREMIER NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV from this meeting of Soviet and Cuban lead- ers yesterday was the first indication of a change in power. Khrushchev was the only top Soviet -, leader absent from the meeting. His protege Leonid Brezhnev, second from left, has taken over the key party post of Communist secretary. Alexei Kosygin, third from left, succeeds Khrushchev as Premier. Kosygin and Brezhnev Get Highest Posts in Kremlin (Continuedt from Page 1) Brezhnev, a Communist Party' member for 33 of his 57 years, has been heir-apparent to Premier' Chrushchev for at least the pastj three years. The stocky Ukrainian made his last previous step forward last July 15, when he relinquished his figurehead role as president of the Soviet Union to concentrate on work in the Communist Party, the real source of power in Moscow. Khrushchev said then that Brezhnev was needed for full-time work as a secretary of the/Com- munist Party's central committee. Brezhnev has been associated with Khrushchev's career since 1938 in the Soviet Union's Ukrain- Ian region. He was born in Decem- ber, 1906 in Kamenskoye. He and Khrushchev came up in the tlraine as faithful party workers. In 1927, Brezhnev was graduated from an agricultural institute in Kursk, and in 1931 he was ad- rhitted to membership in the Com- munist Party. He is one of the post - Bolshevik, post - revolution Communists among whom tech- nological knowledge was more im- portant than revolutionary fervor. Brezhnev was posted to the Urals area as a specialist in land use, and there rose to the head of the Oblast (area) Land De- partment. He left the Urals to study metallurgy in his home town. When the war ended, Brezhnev was sent back to the Ukraine, where he continued his move up- ward in the party. At the 19th Soviet Party Congress in Moscow in 1952, he became as the party's presidium. It was the power cen- ter of the whole Soviet structure. When Stalin died in 1953, Brez- hnev was fired from his job as first Communist Party Secretary of the - Moldavian Republic, ac- quired from Romania during the war. But by the time other Soviet leaders arranged the arrest of Lavrenty Beria, Stalin's secret police chief, Brezhnev had bounced back. He turned up in the role of first deputy chief of the main political board in the ministry of defense - political commissar of WE NEED TYPISTS and STENOS!t Kelly Girl Service, Inc. 518 E.

The Ukrain- ian became a full member of the party presidium and later took over as president. He was no ceremonial president as others before him had been. Like Khrushchev, he had traveled broadly and was to continue to do so as a sort of traveling sales- man for the Soviet Union. He has been to Italy, North Korea, Fin- land, Morocco, Guinea, Ghana, Yugoslavia and Iran.. a' a- NOW OPEN THE LANTERN Arts and Crafts Originals Hours: Mon. and Fri. 12-9 p.m. Tue.-Sat. 9-5 417 Detroit Street 761-0707 HOMECOMING '64 PRESENTS I T 11111T HEL1.
