LXXIII, No.54 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1962 SEVEN CENTS TEN PAGES Kappa Sigma Scores Swathmore Local Chapter Claims Suspension Results From Fight Against Discrimination By ELLEN SILVERMAN Kappa Sigma fraternity national has suspended the Swarth- more College chapter effective Nov. 7, the Swarthmore local an- nounced Tuesday. The national said that the suspension was due to "attempting to involve other chapters in organizing to defy the national's basic principles and failure to maintain standards of scholarship." The f local maintained however that the Report Hits Inequality hI Spending WASHINGTON - The Kennedy administration is studying charges that the federal government is concentrating too much of its money on a small number of American colleges and universi- ties, the Washington Post re- ported. These allegations, contained in a report ordered by the health, education and welfare department, were made public yesterday by a research team surveying the im- pact of federal spending on high- er education institutions. A total of more than $1.5 bil- lion was allocated to such schools in 1960, the investigation showed. Three Institutions Disclosing that about one-fifth of that was spent on three in- stitutions-including two in Cali- fornia-the survey group, headed by Prof. J. Kenneth Little of the University of Wisconsin, declared "current federal activities tend to increase the gap between the strong and less strong institutions and to further the separation be- tween graduate and undergradu- ate education." It also tends "to increase the reward and prestige of research in comparison with teaching and to lower the moral of faculty members in fields not well sup- ported," the report added. "Widening Circle" The group recommended that the government "continue to ex- pand its support of research in a widening circle of institutions." Ranking first in federal in- come, including money for govern- ment-supported research centers, was the University of California, the team said. Funds given to that institution by dozens of federal agencies totaled $91 million in 1960. More than $50 million went to Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology, the report added. All Types The research team emphasized that the figures included virtually all types of federal spending on programs of higher education, ranging from grants for equip- ment to medical investigation. The largest portion-more than $800 million-was spent by te government on research and de- velopment, mostly in scientific areas, the survey showed. The heaviest spender for re- search among government agen- cies was the defense with nearly 40 per cent, followed by the Pub- lic Health Service and the Na- tional Science Foundation. The three agencies accounted for 80 per cent of the spending. Noting the concentration of re- search funds, the study declared, "although there were 186 private liberal arts colleges and 55 state colleges participating in federal' programs of research, their share of federal research funds totaled 1.1 per cent." The study also deplored the con- centration of research funds in a reletively small number of schools. Major Recipient The University is a major reci- pient of governmental grants in fields ranging to the development of super-secret means for long lange radar and photograhpic de- tection to mass health surveys. Unlike the University of Cali- fornia and other large government fund recipients, the University does not and refused to operate technical centers for the govern- ment. Kelsey Scores Quadrants' Acts Kelsey House of South Quad- rangle passed a resolution yester- suspension was due to its efforts to eliminate a "gentlemen's agree- ment" which discriminated against non-whites. The Swarthmore c h a p t e r charged that at a national con- clave held in 1961 a gentlemen's agreement was reached after the national readmitted a chapter put on suspension for pledging an Oriental student. The local de- clined to name the chapter sus- pended for the pledging. No Comment "The local has received no com- ment from the national regarding the charges," Swarthmore chap- ter president Jack Willis told The Daily last night. "We have contacted our alumni and will have a meeting Sunday to determine the future course of action. We feel that the alumni will give us support as the presi- dent of the college and the dean of men have done already," he added. The issue is between the Swarthmore local and the national only, George Wanstall, '63, presi- dent of the University Kappa Sigma local, said last night. "The University chapter has submitted a statement to Student Govern- ment Council which has been deemed acceptable." Interpretive Matter "The gentlement's agreement is largely a matter of interpretation. We operate within a written con- stitution," he continued. Willis contended that the gent- lemen's agreement was substituted after the national eliminated a written discriminatory clause. He also reported that while the Student Council at Swarthmore has not set a policy which bars fraternities with discriminatory policies, "it has been interested in the problem for a long time and has sent letters to the fraternities which advocate elimination of dis- crimination." No Jews, Negroes The Swarthmore group also charged that at the conclave the national treasurer had said that "Jewish members were 'frowned upon' and 'any chapter which bid a Negro would be expelled.'" The Swarthmore chapter has three Jewish brothersbut no Negro members. "We don't know if the national knows of our Jew- ish members," Willis commented. Although the local had been charged with poor scholastic standards, the Swarthmore chap- ter has been sent letters of com- mendation from the national after its average increased this past year, the chapter reported. Prior to this, however, letters from the national had been received which warned of consequences if the scholastic average did not im- prove. At present the chapter's average is 1.58 (on a 3.0 system), Willis said. The local had been active in soliciting support from other chapters for the removal of the gentlemen's agreement. In con- junction with the letters personal visits were made by the members to other groups. At a regional con- clave other efforts were made for support of the move. The chapter has considered go- ing local in the past due to the discrimination issue, Willis said. A released statement said "it seems apparent that Pi (the local) will permanently sever all ties with the Kappa Sigma fraternity." ACLU MEETING: O'Hare By H. NEIL BERKSON Rolland O'Hare, state president of the American Civil Liberties Union, devoted most of his speech last night to a "family discussion" of ACLU's programs and activi- ties, then used a question and an- swer session to express his con- cern over limitations of academic freedom. He told a public meeting of the Ann Arbor-Washtenaw County India Peking Says Enemy Used Heavy Guns Reinforce Ladakh, Expect Major Thrust NEW DELHI ()-Indian forces have opened their first major of- fensive of the undeclared Hima- layan border war with Red China, killing an unknown number of enemy troops entrenched in the northeast sector, therdefense min- istry reported yesterday. A Red Chinese broadcast heard in Tokyo said, however, the at- tacks - made under heavy artil- lery fire - were being repulsed by Communist troops still holding their positions. "Fierce fighting was still in progress up to this morning," the Peking broadcast said.y An Indian defense ministry spokesman said the attacks were carried out on Chinese positions near Walong, 15 miles from the Burma border. The spokesman said' a smaller attack was carried out Wednesday: by an Indian patrol on Chinese forces holding a village outside of Jang, near the Bhutan border and about 300 miles west of Walong. There had been fears the Red Chinese could use their positions at Walong and Jang as jumping off points for possible drives down into the plains of the Indian state of Assam. A lull in the fighting continued in Ladakh on the northwestern front in the war over disputed bor- der territories in the Himalayas. The Chinese had moved up tanks and reinforcements there in pre- paration for what appeared to be a major thrust. Prime Minister Jawharlal Neh- ru, meanwhile, was reported to have sent his official reply to a Chinese offer to withdraw troops in the northeast sector if the In- dians would concede 15,000 square miles of territory claimed by Pe- king in Ladakh. The contents of the reply, hand- ed to the Chinese charge d'affaires here last night. Cite Approval of Communists As Speakers. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz (CPS)-Sen. Barry Goldwater (R- Ariz) in an interview given to the Arizona State College Lumberjack last week, declared that he "very def- initely approved" of allowing Communist speakers on college campuses for speaking engage- ments. The senator said that he felt it to be the best way for students to get the full story of Commun- ism and other political ideaologies. He also endorsed courses teaching Communism, the Lumberjack re- lated.1 The senator said that he thought socialism to be purely an economic system, incapable of existing in a democracy. He said that he is in favor of such things as laws governing interstate com- merce and anti-trust laws, but opposes any actions to center power in the hands of the federal government. Goldwater also mentioned his recent clash with University of Colorado president Quigg Newton, saying the issue was not one of freedom of the press, but one of, the senator's personal opinions ont the capability of the college presi- dent.

Kennedy's chief economic advisers explained to the 10th annual Conference on the Economic Outlook here last night why he thinks the seeming hos- tility of businessmen towards the New Frontier is "misplaced."

Leaders Suggest Quick Tax Slash WASHINGTON (P)-A confer- ence of 170 industry, union and civic leaders overwhelmingly en- dorsed yesterday President John F. Kennedy's proposals for a quick and substantial tax reduction. After two days of discussion, an expanded meeting of the Presi- dent's labor-management advisory committee came up with a major- ity conclusion that the tax cut, should be permanent and shouldt emphasize lower personal income1 tax rates, with corporate rate re-' ductions on a smaller scale. The figures mentioned were: higher, in many cases, than the $6 to $8 billion in tax reduction which has been unofficially men- tioned as under consideration. Economy Stimulus FIDEL CASTRO . ..

Four Characteristics He noted four other character- istics of the government-business relationship which further sup- port his stand, and in for which there is considerable agreement. 1) The number and range of business fields governmentally controlled in the United States is "much shorter" than that in other democratic countries, including Switzerland and West Germany. 2) The federal government has not usurped a greater share of production. In 1929, it produced six per cent of the country's civil- ian goods. "In 1961, this figure rose all the way up to 6.5 per cent," Prof. Tobin remarked. 3) Labor is not becoming more powerful, and is not diminishing the strength of the private busi- ness sector. 'Mixed Bag' 4) The present scope of govern- mental control over business is "simply not an issue." The con- trols that do exist are a "mixed bag: some are designed to protect the public health and safety, some to protect or promote competition, others to protect the seller or to protect the buyer." t t ; , E >; r "> E i . i t The Regents will receive a re- icy to spur the sluggishly rsing port on Delta College at their rate of national output. regular meeting at 11 a.m. today Few raised the objection-heard in the Regents' Rm. from some Congress members -- This report accounts the ac- that a tax cut would worsen an tions taken to date on Delta, a already serious federal deficit, $7.8 two-year college in Midland which billion in this fiscal year, is considering expanding to a High Level four-year program.

May Down Spy Flights UNITED NATIONS (P)-Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro was reliably reported last night to have threatened the United States through acting Secretary-General U Thant that Cuba would shoot down any United States planes flying reconnaissance missions over Cuban territory. The threat was contained in a letter from the Cuban prime min- ister handed by a Cuban repre- sentative to Thant, who promptly informed United States Ambassa- dor Adlai E. Stevenson of its con- tents. Stevenson hurried to the Soviet mission to the United Nations for a conference with Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuz- netsov. Stevenson went at the re- quest of Kuznetsov. After the session Stevenson said the letter from Castro had been discussed. He said he had discussed "all of the outstanding questions with the Soviet Union once more," and that he might have more to add on the subject today. Cuban Ambassador Carlos Le- chuga handed Thant the letter from Castro giving his position on the Cuban crisis. A United Nations spokesman said Cuba had asked that the con- tents not be published until today. Thant was informed that a por- tion of the letter had become available, but decided to abide l y the agreement not to release the contents, the spokesman said. Meanwhile it is reported that Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan is said to be winding un his prolonged talks with Castro in Havana and is expected to fly from Havana to New York in the immediate future. Mikoyan is assumed here to have failed in any assignment he had from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to persuade Castro to accept UN inspectors to check on Russia's removal of its nuclear Tries P*rice Latest Notes Ask Change In ,Jet Status Kennedy To Dismiss Seeming Face-Saver For Castro Regime WASHINGTON ()-Soviet Pre- mier Nikita S. Khrushchev re- portedly is trying through an ex- change of letters with President John F. Kennedy to raise his price for removal of Soviet jet bombers from Cuba. His evident purpose is to. get something out of the deal for Cuba Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Kennedy, under the cover of secrecy which shrouds the corres- pondence, is understood to have rejected Khrushchev's proposed price although it is understood the President considers some ele- ments of the bomber dispute and related problems negotiable. Hope for Settlement Top United States officials say privately they hope for settlement of the bomber question in the next few days. But if agreement by Khrushchev to remove the two dozen or more Ilyushin-28 meditni jets is not forthcoming soon Ken- nedy will have to decide what if any further pressures he wants to apply. Failure of Khrushchev to get the planes out would be considered here as a violation of his agree- ment last month to remove from Cuba all weapons the President considered offensive. That includ- ed the 1128s which can carry nuc- lear bombs up to 750 miles. It was reported that Khrushchev in his latest letter to Kennedy had either directly or in effect given support to Castro's five- point demand for his agreement to a Cuban settlement. Negotiable Elements Some officials, say, however, that there are negotiable elements in the present dispute. For ex- ample under his original bargain with Khrushchev, Kennedy is committed at some point to lift his quarantine of Cuba and to give a firm no invasion pledge. In connection with removal of the bombers these informants suggest, the President might be willing to modify or suspend some of the blockade operations. Meanwhile, the Miami News re- ported the White House has re- ceived "hard" intelligence Infor- mation that there still is a sub- stantial number of offensive med- ium-range missiles hidden in Cuba.
