$750,000 REQUEST:
'U'o Delay fund Bid
For New .LSA Building
By LEONARD PRATT
The University probably will postpone its ; request for $750,000
in feeral funds until later this spring, according to Richard
Schwarz, University planning analyst.
Previous plans had called for submission of the application by
Dec. 1.
Schwartz said that the lengthy application procedures required by
the state's Higher Education Facilities Commission, whose ap-
* proval is necessary for granting of
the funds, will make it nearly im-
Ai- possible t meet this deadline.
Schwarz also confirmed that the
funds are being requested to begin

FBI Upset
By Surprise
Dismissals
Justice Department
Taking Evidence To
Federal Grand Jury
MERIDIAN, Miss. (')-A U.S.
Commissioner dismissed charges
yesterday against 19 white men
arrested last week in connection
with the midsummer slaying of
three civil rights workers in
Neshoba County.
Surprised by an abrupt turn in
a preliminary hearing for 19 of
the 21 men, the Justice Depart-
ment announced it would take its
case directly to a federal grand
Jury as soon as possible.
Miss Esther Carter, the Federal
Commissioner, blocked govern-
ment efforts to give testimony
about an alleged confession from
one of the men the FBI charges
with helping to conceive and
carry out a Klan-inspired plot to
murder the trio.
Indirect Implication
FBI agent Henry Rask of At-
lanta was permitted only to testify
that he had obtained "a signed
confession" from Horace Barnette,
who was charged in a federal com-
plaint with conspiring to violate
the civil rights of two white New
Yorkers and a Meridian Negro.
Last Issue
With this issue The Daily
completes. its publication for
this term. Next term's Daily
will begin with two free pre-
view editions Jan. 7 and 8; the
first regular issue will be out
Jan. 9.
"We will simply not produce any
more evidence," said Robert Owen,
a Justice Department attorney,
after Miss Carter's ruling.
The commissioner then dismiss-
ed the charges and ordered the
bonds-which ranged from $3500
to $5000-refunded. The 19 men
walked out free men just six
days after their arrests.
They included Neshoba County
Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and his
deputy Cecil Price.
Joint Statement
In a joint statement, the 14
defense attorneys claimed the
commissioner's ruling showed in
effect their clients were innocent.
The statement charged that the
government is "playing politics
with the lives of these people."
The statement claimed Negro
leader Dr. Martin Luther King
had put "pressure" on President
Johnson and FBI crief J. Edgar
Hoover to get arrests.
Justice Department attorneys
said they would put their evidence
before a federal grand jury "as
promptly as possible." It will be
up to U.S. Dist. Judge Harold
Cox at Jackson to convene a grand
jury.
In New York, Roy Wilkins, ex-
ecutive director of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, expressed shock
over dismissal of the
charges.
Russians
Criticize
Planning
MOSCOW ()-Deputies of the
Supreme Soviet, Russia's parlia-
ment, unleashed a cascade of cri-
ticism yesterday, blaming poor
living conditions on bad economic
planning.
Attacks on bureaucratic bung-
ling and local problems were the
most severe heard here in several
Speakers followed the line hand-
ed down yesterday by Premier
Alexei I. Kosygin in his address
opening the session and setting its
tone.
Consumer Goods
In this speech, Kosygin had
continued the Khrushchev em-
phasis on providing more and
better consumer goods and a ris-
ing standard of living.
He promised economic liberalism
and less rigid centralized plan-
ning, greater material incentives
for good work and more things
like refrigerators and television
sets for the masses.
Deputies made no further corn-
ment on Kosygin's announced
plan to cut Soviet military spend-
ing next year by 500 million
rubles ($555 million). Theynseem-
ed more interested in his pledge
to improve living conditions.
Virtually all criticized local con-
ditions and expressed confidence
that next year's budget would imi-
prove living standards.
Criticize Planning
N. N. Kachalov, a deputy pre-
mier of the Russian Federation,
largest of the Soviet republics,
criticized centralized planning
systems. He cited a plant that
was supposed to be built by the
middle of next year but supplies
to build the plant, he said, will
not arrive until the middle of next
year.
He also criticized the 1965 bud-
get.
The new budget will provide for
sharp increases in housing appro-
priations. It calls for wage in-
creases,-more consumer goods of
better quality and other steps to
improve living standards.
Wrangling over proposals to
scrap Khrushchev's controversial
1957 economic reforms also broke
out.

FREEDOM SPEECH MOVEMENT LEADER MARIO SAVIO (standing) told a throng on the Diag yesterday that Berkeley students
struggled to show that "the First Amendment doesn't limit freedom of speech-it limits the limits you can impose on that freedom."
Later, Savio and Steve Weissman (right photo) blasted California President Clark Kerr's idea of a "Multiversity," pointing out how
it fomented student action there.

In Diag Speech Savio Criticizes
Kerr's Concept of Education Factory
By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM
The leaders of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement yesterday
asked Ann Arbor support for their fight "to wrangle first amendment
freedoms from an unresponsive bureaucracy."
In a series of speeches before 2000 students thronged on the Diag,
Mario Savio, Steve Weissman, Suzanne Goldberg and Bettina Ape-
theker of the FSM asked for financial and "warm body" support for
their protest. It began nearly three months ago when the Berkeley
administration invoked an old but dormant restriction against political
activity on the campus.
The students, assembled on the Diag to witness the first
of a series of college campus appearances, provided nearly $150

Condemns 'Multiversity,' Sees Reform
By KENNETH WINTER
Managing Editor
What now for Berkeley-and Ann Arbor?
Wearing casually the apparent success of their recent protest
against political regulations on the University of California's Berkeley
campus, the leaders of Berkeley's Free Speech Movement yesterday
looked to the future.
In an informal discussion at the Michigan Union, they outlined
their plans for action on broader issues and urged local students to
press for a more "human" Univer-
'U' Issuing
No Reprisal
The University plans no dis-
ciplinary action against the stu-
dents who brought Free Speech
Movement leaders here yesterday
for unauthorized appearances on
the Diag and in the Michigan
Union.
"Our.attitude is that they came,
they spoke and they left, and
that's the end of it," Vice-
President for Student Affairs
Richard L. Cutler said last night.
Under University regulations, all
campus events are to be sponsored
by recognized student organiza-
tions and calendared in advance.
Yesterday's appearances were not
calendared, and an official said
yesterday afternoon that so far
as he knew "no local organization
officially sponsored them."
Many of the students who ar-
ranged the appearance are mem-
bers of Voice Political Party, but
the event was not an official Voice
function. Savio was en rmute to
New York for a nationwide tele-
vision appearance. While his trip
there was financed by the tele-
vision network, his side trip here
was paid for by Students for a
Democratic Society, of which
Voice is the local affiliate.
Despite reports that over 100
plainclothesmen from the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and other
agencies were among the Diag
crowd, Cutler said the University
had not called in, and was un-
aware of the presence of, any out-
side authorities. Detroit FBI head-
quarters denied having any agents
here.
in a hat which Miss Apetheker
passed around. It was Weissman
who appealed for students here
to demonstrate and urge Univer-
sity President Harlan Hatcher to
support the FSM cause.
The specific demonstration he
advocated would come just before
the California Regents, governing
body of Berkeley, meet to re-
solve the controversy on Dec. 18.
They will be viewing a proposal
submitted by the institution's fac-
ulty senate which supports student
demands, including the right to
.advocate illegal activities on cam-
pus without fear of administra-
tive retribution.
"Our struggle has been to con-
vince (California President) Clark
Kerr that the First Amendment
doesn't limit freedom of speech-
it limits the limits you can im-
pose on that freedom,"
Savio blasted Kerr for being a
"political compromiser" and "la-
bor-management negotiator" in
the student dispute.
"He is hardly an intellectual,"
Savio said, "but he is well-skilled
in the techniques of balancing off
the Regents against the state leg-
islature, the faculty against the
students and the students against
themselves."
Savio also accused Kerr of be-,
ing the "ideologist of a new form
of tyranny-the 'multiversity'."
This concept takes a factory view
of education, Savio said. It holds
that the institution is a knowl-
edge factory which has a presi-
dent (Kerr), a board of direc-
tors (regents), employes (faculty)
and raw materials (undergradu-
ates) to be made into a product.,

fornia industry, "but some of us-
like me-have no place,",he ob-

sity here. The discussion followed
the noon speeches on the Diag.
On either campus, they argued,
independent student groups must
get 'together with concerned fac-
ulty members to discuss what is
wrong with their university and to
draft specific proposals to correct
the defects. In seeking broad uni-
versity refornis, protests such as
Berkeley's should not be the first
step, FSM leader Mario Savio said.
"We need dialogue and commit-
tee meetings as much as the ad-
ministration does. If the admin-
istration refuses to endorse re-
sponsible proposals, then we can
use demonstrations and civil dis-
obedience. But I don't think we'd
be wise to use .them now," Savio
said.
But when there is a specific is-
sue needing protest, that action
must be. bold and decisive, the
organizer of several massive sit-
ins, pickets and rallies continued.
"We were told that our dem-
onstrations would alienate faculty
members and people in the 'lib-
eral community.' It Just wasn't the
case.a Decisive action is so rare
in our society that whenever we
took some decisive action we gal-
vanized the faculty," Savio assert-
ed. He claimed students' action
turned the faculty's passive intel-
lectual sympathy for the "free
speech" position into a "real emo-
tional commitment."
Former University student Steve
Weissman, head of the new Grad-
uate Coordinating Committee,
which organized a teaching as-
sistants' strike at Berkeley, il-
lustrated this point by recalling
an incident which occurred when
1100 students sat in at the Berke-
ley administration building.
"The dean of the graduate
school walked out of his office,
and there was his chief research
assistant lying on the floor. There
was someone for whom the dean

SAL Shifts
Focal Point
By MERLE JACOB
The Student Action League hay
shifted its major emphasis from
pressuring the University on stu-
dent problems here to working on
state-wide educational problems
by pressuring the state Legisla-
ture, Barry Bluestone, chairman
of SAL, said yesterday.
Since its conception two months
ago, SAL has worked on alleged
student grievances stemming from
low student wages, overcrowded
housing, off-campus housing and
high living costs.
Bluestone explained that SAL
has shifted its goals since the ad-
ministration has become more
willing 'to consider student griev-
ances. He cited the University's
proposal to raise student wages to
$1.15 in 1966 and $1.25 in 1967,
and President Harlan Hatcher's
appointment of a "blue ribbon"
committee to consider off-campus
housing.
"We feel that many of the uni-
versities' problems stem from in-
adequate allocations from the
state Legislature," he explained.
Bluestone said that in talks
with President Hatcher, Vice-
President for Student Affairs
Richard Cutler, and other admin-
istrators, the men approved the
goal of SAL.
The group hopes to have defi-
nite plans set by the end of Janu-
ary. At the present, members of
SAL are working on separate pro-
posals of action.
A number of the plans now un-
der consideration include:
-Setting up organizations at
all other state universities, or
having just Michigan State Uni-
versity, Wayne State University,
