Af fr, ia 10-I atj Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom VOL. LXXV, No. 68 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1964 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES U.S. Refuses Pledge To UN Special Fund Declines Because of Soviet Debts For Congo, Middle East Operations By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS-The United States refused yesterday to make a 1965 money pledge to the United Nations special fund and expanded program of technical aid pending a solution to the U.S.- Soviet crisis over overdue peacekeeping assessments. As principal contributor the United States normally pledges 40 r per cent of the total raised by voluntary contributions to the two major U.N. programs for help to economically handicapped nations. The Soviet Union pledged the same for 1965 as last year-2,700,000 rubles, or the equivalent of $3 million. It was subject to the same Czechs Take Part In Tariff Talks View Communist Entry as Friendly But of Little Economic Importance By The Associated Press GENEVA-The Kennedy round of tariff talks opened with a mild surprise yesterday as a Communist country-Czechoslovakia-began to take part in the bargaining. Including Czechoslovakia, 12 major trading units of the world began to confer in what is widely considered the most ambitious attempt in modern times to slash global customs duties. Although Czechoslovakia's actions were looked upon as a gesture of friendliness and cooperation, officials explained that her tariff actions iadin fact little economic import. This is because Communist countries, where the state has com- plete control over exports and imports, need not rely on tariffs to control their economic exchanges Soviets Along Alter H ie rarchy evs Linesl Brezhn [Name Three. AMBASSADOR FEDORENKO Is rael, S yria Debate over Skirmishes UNITED NATIONS (P)-Syria asked the UN Security Council yesterday to condemn Israel for a border air raid last Friday it called an act of barbarism and naked aggression. Israel counter- ed with a demand that the coun- cil call upon Syria to stop threats and shooting. Their bids for action came as the 11-nation council opened de- bate on Syrian and Israeli com- plaints growing out of a two- hour artillery and air clash north of the Sea of Galilee, the worst in years. Ten persons were re- ported killed and 37 wounded. Secretary-General U Thant said he had asked for a full factual report from Norwegian Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, head of UN truce ob- servers in Palestine, and would send it to the council "very skort- ly." Measures Israeli chief delegate Michael S. Comay suggested that the council "take twos pecific meas- ures to reinforce stability" on the border. "The council can insist," he said, "that Syrians refrain (a) from all further attacks upon or interference with Israel activities in the border zone, and in par- ticular all firing across the bor- der; (b) from all further threats against the political independ- ence and territorial integrity of Israel." Syrian chief delegate Rafik As- ha declared "the latest action committed by Israel against my country calls for urgent action." Request "We respectfully request the council to condemn Israel in the strongest terms as it has done several times in the past," he said. The two ambassadors did not mention a series of air battles re- ported by their two countries Saturday. They disagreed over which country started the fight- ing on Friday. Papers Reject Union Offer DETROIT (W) - The Detroit Free Press yesterday refused to admit to work returning members of Local 13 of the International' Printing Pressmen's Union. The union had called off its strike and offered to return to work at the Free Press but not at the Detroit News. Local 13 is still at odds with the News over manpower requirements for manning several newly-install- ed presses. "dPublishers assailed the union offer as a "'grandstand play" restrictions - that it be used to pay only Soviet technicians em- ployed in the two programs. In announcing the pledge Sov- iet Delegate Nikolai T. Federenko made no reference to the U.S. an- nouncement, but said only that his country favored U.N. opera- tions "carried out in accord with the U.N. charter." Circumstances "In view of circumstances with which members are familiar, my government is not in a position to make a pledge for 1965 at this time, U.S. Ambassador Franklin H. Williams told the delegates in the General Assembly Hall. "We have every hope that de- velopments will make it possible for us to announce a substantial pledge in thenear future." This was a reference to private diplomatic efforts now going on to resolve the deadlock over pay- ment of past due assessments for peacekeeping. The Soviet Union is two years in arrears on Middle East and Congo peacekeeping assessments. The United States contends that under Article 19 of the U.N. char- ter the Soviet Union and eight other nations in a similar situa- tion must lose their assembly vote. Russia owes a total of $52.6 mil- lion for Congo and the Middle East. They could get out of the' two-year column by paying a little less than $6 million. U.S. sources said the U.S. would consider the bill satisfied if they paid the entire sum into any kind of a fund. Two Year's. France will be two years in arrears on Jan. 1 because of fail- ure to pay Congo assessments. Both Moscow and Paris contend that the assessments are illegal because they were approved by the General Assembly instead of the; Security Council. France and a number of other countries increased their pledges by a consider.able amount-but not enough to overcome a gap left by the U.S. action. The target for 1965 is $150 mil- lion. For the current year 109 countries have pledged or paid $137,100,000 - including the United States. Last year's pledging conference raised $74,663,616, not counting the U.S. pledge.1 It was apparent that the1 pledges yesterday would exceedJ that figure. -Associated Press BROSIO SPEAKS AT NATO CONFERENCE MANLIO BROSIO, LEFT FOREGROUND, secretary-general of the North AqJantic Treaty Organi- zation, is shown during a speech in Paris yesterday in which he challenged French President Charles de Gaulle to state clearly his position on the alliance's problems.

TARGET DATE MONDAY: Unions Set To Strike Rails By the Associated Press CHICAGO-Six railroad unions announced yesterdaythat a strike against most of the nation's rail- roads has been set for 7 a.m. (Ann Arbor time) Monday, Nov. 23. But spokesmen said that "ser- ious consideration would be given any requests concerning the strike frgm the White House." The unions represent railroad workers who build, maintain, re- pair and service railroad locomo- tives and cars. All "cooling off" provisions of the railway labor act have been exhausted and a strike can be called legally anytime a f t e r Nov. 19. Michael Fox, president of the AFL-CIO railway department, said the six unions involved have noti- fied all their general chairmen throughout the country of plans' for the shutdown and have issued detailed instructions concerning, E picketing strike.

He said manage- ment has not made any settle- ment proposal. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz said in Washington last week that he did not expect a rail strike or White House interven- tion in the case. The six shop unions are among 11 non-operating unions involved in wage disputes. The other five have taken no strike action. Abboud Steps Down in Sudan, CAIRO 0P)--President Ibrahim Abboud yesterday announced his resignation as chief of state and armed forces commander in Su- dan, a broadcast over Radio Omdurman said. Sudan's new civilian cabinet had put pressure on Abboud to step down. He gave up most of his power last month after 10 days of, violent street demonstrations. A renewed outbreak last week apparently convinced him to yield all his authority. Abboud appointed General Mo- hamed Ahmed Alkawwad to re- place him as the Sudanese armed forces commander, the broadcast said. To Positions With Council Abolish Khrushchev's Structural Divisions Of Subcommittees MOSCOW (A - A month after ousting Nikita S. Khrushchev, the Soviet Communist Party's Cen- tral Committee elevated three of its leaders to its highest council yesterday and decreed important personnel and policy changes. The actions, taken at a one- day secret meeting of the com- mittee, appeared to observers to be an effort by Leonid I. Brezh- nev, Khrushchev's successor as first secretary of the party, to or- ganize the party along the lines he wants. Alexander N. Shelepin, 46, for- mer head of the State Security Committee (KGB), the state po- lice organization, waspromoted to the committee's ruling presi- dium. Pyotr Y. Shelest, 56, head of the party from the influential Ukraine republic, was elevated to the pre- sidium from candidate member- ship. Pyotr N. Demichev, 46, a partyt secretary specializing in light and chemical industries, became a candidate member of the presi- dium.' Drop Kozlov The Central Committee drop- ped Frol R. Kozlov, once regard- ed as a top aide to Khrushchev, from the presidium, explaining that the reason was Kozlov's physical incapacity. Kozlov was felled by a stroke last year. The Central Committee gave no explanation for dropping Vas- ily I. Polyakov from his post as a member of the party secretar- iat. Polyakov specialized in agri- culture, Khrushchev's favorite field and the field of Khrush- chev's most noteworthy failures. The p a r ty also dismissed Khrushchev's son-in-law, Alexei Adzhubei, from membership in the Central Committee. Adzhubei, former editor of the government newspaper Izvestia, was expelled from the committee "for errors committed in his work." Abolish Changes The committee also decided to abolish structural changes in the party instituted by Khrushchev. It reversed the Khrushchev re- organization which had divided party subcommittees into parallel organizations to specialize in ag- riculture and industry. Thi Khrushchev reform had been re- ported causing widespread confu- sion and dissatisfaction among the party rank and file. The 175-member Central. Com- mittee's meeting was its first since Brezhnev met last week with for- eign Communists and represen- tatives of the Chinese party on the split in the world movement. It was not known whether the committee was filled in on the talks, and the brevity of the ses- sion suggested that there had been no detailed briefing.. with other countries. Deadline The participating countries had until early this morning to, say what industrial goods they are prepared. to include in a general cut of import duties by one half of the present duties. In effect each country put for- ward its position in the form of a so-called exceptions list. This tables products not to be included in the Kennedy round because they are particularly sensitive to foreign competition. Any products not on the list will automaticaliy be included. By late afternoon all the main nations taking part had deposited their sealed lists on the desk of Eric Wyndham White, executive secretary of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), which .is administering the Ken- nedy round. Lists were submitted by the United States, the European Com- mon Market, Canada, Japan, Bri- tain, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, and surprisingly-Czechoslovakia. Unexpected No one had expected a Com- munist country to turn up but GATT officials said Czechoslo- vakia had every right to submit a list and thereby give notice of its intention to take part in the Kennedy round. The six nations of the Common Market agreed only on a joint list after months of frantic back- stage bargaining in Brussels. Students' Ask Study Days' Five student leaders yesterday presented a request for a reading period before finals to Vice-Pres- ident for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns, Sarah Mahler, activi- ties and scholarship chairman of Assembly Association, said last night. The recommendation, signed by the chairmen of the Literary Col- lege Steering Committee, Honors Steering Council, Education an' Culture Committee of the League, Panhellenic Scholarship Commit- tee and Miss Mahler, presented two requests. First, it requested that a three day study period be included in future academic calendars. This reading or study period could be either directly before exams or in the latter half of the semes- ter, Miss Mahler explained. "It would not be effective this year," she said. The second request could af' feet this semester, however. It asked the O:Nice of Academic Affairs to suggest to the faculty that classes be canceled on the Monday before finals, Miss Mah- ler said. "The Office of Student Affairs can't demand that the classes be canceled, since a study day is not scheduled for that date," she said. "However, Assembly has dis- tributed signs to be put up in residence halls urging students to talk to their instructors about canceling Monday's classes," she said'. criticize U.S. Policies in South Asia By BRIAN BEACH Viet Nam is the battlefield on which the United States must test its policy assumptions for under- developed countries, Todd Gitlin, a coordinator of the Students for Democratic Society sponsored Peace Research and Education Project, said last night. Speaking at a panel discussion sponsored by Voice, Gitlin focus- ed on six "critical issues". Richard Horovitz, president of Voice, moderated the discussion. -Viet Nam will help resolve the struggle among military lead- ers over what are suitable 'mili- tary tactics. -The Vietnamese effort may reveal what direct economic is- sues are at .stake in underde- veloped countries in relation to the West. Domino Theory -Viet Nam success or failure will test the Dulles inspired dom- ino theory of foreign policy, that is the fall of one country threat- ens the security of its neighbor and induces its fall. -Finally, the Vietnamese strug- gle should help reveal the limits and possibilities of Communist China. Discussing problems in develop- ing a policy towards underdevel- oped countries, Prof. Charles Mos- kos of the sociology department ;criticized that the U.S. social scientist "follows the flag. They are three years behind the gov- ernment in reaching policy pro- posals." Analogy Analogies between United States' domestic problems and global problems have been emerging in recent years, asserted William Livant, an associate resident psy- chologist of the Mental Health Research Institute. Livant suggested that. the pub- lic and social scientists are com- ing to the realization that "Just as social workers in U.S. slums are almost doomed to failure . so are urban planners and geog- raphers doomed in their efforts to affect improvement in underde- veloped countries." They are learning that they must create plans that work with- in the framework of the under- lying realities in those countries, he continued. Referring to the great number of congressmen elected on the coattails of President Lyndon B. Johnson, Livant hypothesized that the way to get ahead in ther Democratic Congress will be to organize a caucus on particular issues. Criticism He expressed hope that some senators would join Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) in recurrent cri- ticism of U.S. foreign policy. He suggested that senators and con- gressmen be urged to create cau- cuses to evaluate current policy. Rebutting Livant's view, Mos- kos said, "To have a dozen con- gressmen raise critical questions of the administration is to ask them in effect to be traitors." He drew a parallel to French in- RICHARD HOROVITZ 1 e su T T ] jected as Michigan AAUP Elects '' ec a eS~s Uemergenc increaset Professor as President Theu ed shopa similar w Prof. Ralph A.
