LXXIII, No. 80 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1963 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES LABOR RECORDS: 'U' To Study Minorities By GLORIA BOWLES The Office of Financial Analysis has been designated to coordinate a study of individuals of minority groups employed by the Univer- sity, Frederick E. Oliver, director of the office says. The Board of Regents, comply- ing with a request from the Pres- ident's Committee on Equal Em- ployment Opportunity, asked at its Dec. 21 meeting that the study be' made. i. "We are just getting underway," said Oliver, who called the study a "priority job." The Office plans forms in all offices and depart- ments of the University, and then make a compilation of the result- ing statistics. He could not predict the date of completion of the study, but indicated it would take some time. Washington Request The original request for such a compilation came from the gov- House Democrats Predict Elarged Rules Committee WASHINGTON (MP)-Liberal House Democrats predicted yesterday they will win the fight for an enlarged House Rules Committee-and said the Republicans are on the spot. The House Democratic leadership of Speaker John W. McCor- mack (D-Mass.), also was cautiously optimistic and dropped any idea of postponing the crucial vote beyond opening day next Wednesday. But because of massive opposition of southern Democratic conserva- tives', the administration forces Thayer Wins Senate Post By PHILIP SUTIN Special To The Daily LANSING - For the time being, Republican moderates control the state Senate. The 23 GOP members of the 34- man upper chamber emerged from a grim two-hour caucus in a Lan- sing hotel Dec. 27 after choosing Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) caucus chairman and chairman of the committee on committees, and giving the mod- erates four of the six Republican seats on that committee. Thayer,, an avid supporter of Gov. George Romney, won these two key positions by only a 12-11 count over Sen. Frank Beadle Beadle Mystery r But nobody knows who was the moderates' 12th vote. Alignment of the other 21 Republicans is common knowledge, but it's a mys- tery which way Beadle himself and Sen. Harry Litowich (R-Benton Harbor) went in the secret ballot- ing. Beadle may get the chairman- ship of the appropriations com- mittee. If he accepts the latter post - as Thayer would like him to - Beadle would replace arch-con- servative Elmer Porter (R-Bliss- field) as head of the group which molds University appropriations as well as those for most state government agencies. Romney Pledge Thayer called the moderate sweep a victory for the newly- inaugurated Romney. "I am pledged to the Romney Adminis- tration. As caucus chairman, it is my responsibility to see that its programs are carried out." He added that the election of new brand of Republicanism." moderate leadership "signals a Thayer said it came in with Rom- ney on the executive level and now was extended to the legislature. "This positive type of Republi- can approach will view state prob- lems "with the careful eye of the businessman and the enlighten- ment of the scholar," he explained. Other results of the GOP show- down had moderate Sen. William Milliken (R-Traverse City) elect- ed as floor leader, and conserva- tive Sen. John Smeekins (R-Cold- water) given the nod for the relatively insignificant post of president pro-tem. Thayer acknowledged that a "majority of the new senators" voted with the moderates. These freshman legislators included Sen- ators William J. Leppien (R-Sag- inaw), Emil Lockwood (R-St. Louis), Sen. Milton Zaagman (R- Grand Rapids), Robert Vanderlaan (R-Grand Rapids) and Garry Brown, (R-Grand Rapids). They joined hard-core moder- ates Senators John Fitzgerald (R- Grand Ledge), Farrell Roberts (R- Pontiac), Frederic Hilbert (R- Wayland), Thomas Schweigert (R-Petoskey), Milliken and Thay- er. Considered in the conservative camp were Senators Clyde Geer- lings (R-Holland), Harold Hughes (R-Clare), Kent Lundgren (R- Menominee), Haskell Nichols (R- Jackson), Lloyd Stephens (R- Scottville), Paul Younger (R-Lan- sing), newcomer Lester O. Begick (R-Bay City), Arthur Dehmel (R-' Unionville), Porter and Smeekins. Thayer cautioned against spec- ulation on committee chairman- need to pick up some Republicar votes to win. Rep. John Blatnik, (D-Minn.) said Republicans "can be labeled obstructionist from the start," un- less they line up with those who want to keep the Rules Committee at 15 members, rather than let it revert to 12 and again give com- mittee conservatives power tc block legislation. Enlarged by special resolutior two years ago, the committee will revert to 12 members unless the House again acts, "There will be a lot of real soul searching," on the part of Repub- licans, agreed Rep. Chet Holifield, (D-Calif.), "it will put Republicans on the spot. Either they vote tc enlarge the committee or they vote to use this mechanical device tc prevent the House from voting legislation up or down." Blatnik and Holifield spoke tc newsmen after a lengthy strategy meeting with McCormack. President John F. Kennedy has said his legislative program will be hurt unless the Rules Commit- tee continues-at 15 members. The decision two years ago was by a 217-212 vote of the House. By this narrow margin, the House cut the power of Rules Committee Chairman Howard W. Smith, (D- Va.), and other Democratic con- servatives to stalemate bills by joining with four Republicans on the committee. Holifield said he felt more con- fident of winning this time than he did before the test two years ago. A spokesman for McCor- mack's leadership also has voiced cautious confidence. But no one is claiming certain victory. Asks Revised Debate Rules WASHINGTON (R)-Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky) sug- gesteC yesterday two changes in the Senate's rules, claiming they would make its debates shorter, livelier and more to the point. ' One of his proposals would re- quire debate to be confined to the measure up for action in the Senate. A Senator now can talk about anything under the sun. Cooper urged also altering the rules to limit written statements in Senate debates to the floor manager of a bill, the authors of major amendments, and the lead- ers of the opposition.

The University, as a major con- tractor among educational insti- tutions, received $28.5 million in government grants and contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1962. However, University officials did not immediately react in compli- ance to the government request, because University non-discrimin- ation policies had previously ruled on race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry of employes. No Violation The University also investigated provisions of the state Fair Em- ployment Practices Act, and found that such a post-employment study would not be in violation of the law. Continued correspondence with Hobart Taylor, Jr., special coun- sel for the President's Cmmittee, resulted in several recommenda- tions for the procedure to be fol- lowed in making the study. Taylor suggested the University "turn in a count based on a visual check," and also pointed out that the records be listed apart from regular personnel records and simply considered post-employ- ment statistical data. He asked that the minority groups to be sur- veyed should "constitute an identi- fiable factor in the local labor market." Some University officials, pre- paring to fill out the requested government forms in their own de- partments, remarked on the am- biguity of the government form. One office noted that it did not plan to keep the results of the survey, for it did not consider it University policy to keep such records. Make Change In Engineering Requirements The Regents recently approved a change in the wording of the statement of degree requirements for students seeking undergradu- ate engineering college degrees. The scholastic requirements for graduation are now expressed in terms of the quality and level of attainment reached by the stu- dent rather than in terms of the total number of credit hours. The basic level of attainment required is: 1) Demonstrated proficiency in fundamental fields of study com- mon to all degree programs; and 2) Satisfactory completion of the particular program of courses, or their equivalent, required in the' elected degree program. All de- tailed requirements are to be spe-1 cified by the engineering college faculty. There will be no course changes for most engineering students. However, students who have the equivalent of a listed course are no longer required to take that course to fulfill the requirements. Judgement of the equivalence of courses or level of attainment will1 be made by a representative of the faculty most closely associated with the field of work. Also, at present, a student, by having at least 30 hours of work Gfives Plan For Delta To Grow By GERALD STORCH Special To The Daily LANSING-Delta College's hopes of becoming affiliated with the University took a beating during the Christmas recess when a tem- porary legislative committee rec- ommended that a unique "piggy- back" plan be instituted as the best blueprint for expansion of Delta, Under this plan, drawn up by Assistant Dean John X. Jamrich of Michigan State University's ed- ucation school, an autonomous junior-senior college would be set up to handle transfers from Del- ta, a freshman-sophomore institu- tion, as well as students from other community colleges. The two schools would have separate administration and fac- ulty, but an interlocking board of trustees. Short on Time Sen. Lester O. Begick (R-Bay City), chairman of the interim legislative committee which went out of existence Dec. 31, explained that the group simply didn't have sufficient time to give detailed thought to schemes for a Delta tie-up with the University. He noted that his committee was obligated to report back to the state Legislature, but "we couldn't act on anything that wasn't defi- nite." He emphasized, however, that the Legislature certainly would be able to consider any alternative plans for Delta expansion which might be formulated. Favor Affiliation Nine of the 12 Delta trustees favor some sort of affiliation with the University, perhaps along lines similar to the University's branch- es at Flint and Dearborn. Former Delta board chairman Maurice Brown admitted that "we don't have a plan yet," but prom- ised to "come up with something more concrete" this month. University officials have tended to be lukewarm towards estab- lishing a branch at Delta, al- though negotiations on the mat- ter are continuing. Entering Agreements Several legislators atpresent openly favor the "piggy-back" plan over University affiliation. "The Legislature never had intended when it set up these junior colleges to give them the right to enter into agreements with college boards to set up a four-year col- lege," Rep. Allison Green (R- Kingston) asserted. "It floors me that you think so. If you can do this, then there is a 'Pandora box' being opened for state universities to set up a branch anywhere and at anytime they please," he added. Another committee member as- sailed a branch approach as "su- permarket" education. Faisal Calls UAR, Yemen Aggressors DAMASCUS (P) - Premier Crown Prince Faisal of Saudi Ara- bia announced general mobiliza- tion of his country yesterday, lie and Yemen's republican regime charging the United Arab Repub- with continuing air and sea ag- gression. The announcement hardened the belligerent positions taken by both sides in the festering inter- Arab dispute - President Nas- ser's United Arab Republic and the new Yemen republic on one side, the monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Jordan, plus the tribal warriors of the dethroned Yemeni king, on the other. In a nationwide broadcast over Faisal said Saudi Arabia is "de- termined to take every measure to repeal this aggression," which he said reached a peak with border attacks in the last few days. He vowed the government would spare no means to reinforce its armed forces. He authorized the nation's supreme defense council tc take "all necessary measures to enable the country to defend its internal and external security." Faisal's words were taken here as an indication Saudi Arabia will seek arms from other nations. The United States has tried to keep out of the dispute, which has been fanned by propaganda on both sides. But on the one hand, American oil investments in Saudi Arabia are huge-estimated as high as a billion dollars - and on the other, the United States government recently gave formal recognition to Yemen's three- month-old republican regime. Faisal charged "repeated ag- gressive attacks from the sea and air" were made against Saudi Arabia's southern and southwest- ern frontier during the last month. Quads Get New Listings As installation of room tele- phones in East and West Quad- rangles is now complete, the phone numbers of the two quadrangles have been changed. The number of West Quad- rangle is the same as South Quadrangle: NO 3-7541. The new number of East Quadrangle is NO 5-4111. CHARTER PLANE: Cuba May Release 250 U.S. Citizens WASHINGTON (P)-State department sources said yesterday about 250 American citizens may be permitted soon to return from Cuba to the United States. The Red Cross sent a small plane to Havana in what may be the first step of this latest evacuation from the island. Officials here said the Swiss embassy-which is handling United States diplomatic relations with the government of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro-has advised that ? about 250 persons with claims to United States citizenship are in- volved in the pending move. Did Not Join It was explained that these are United States citizens of Cuban extraction or with Cuban con- nections who, for various reasons, did not choose to join in the earlier repatriations from the is- land. The reported 23 Americans who are prisoners of the Cubans are not involved in the current nego- tiations-nor are the 1,000 or so additional relatives of Cuban in- vaders whose removal from the island has been in abeyance for more than a week. The Red Cross reported from Miami that it had chartered a 100-passenger four-engine plane to fly out the Cuban-Americans. But, the relief organization said, some hitch developed and this charter was canceled. Flies to Havana In place of the DC-6B, the Red Cross chartered a twin-engined DC-3 which has a capacity of about 30 and flew to Havana yes- terday with a team of three Red Cross workers-two pharmacists and a doctor. It is not known here exactly how many persons with valid claims to United States citizenship remain in Cuba, and the estimates range from 500 to 2000. It is difficult to get an ac- curate figure because many of those involved are married to Cubans, have lived most of their lives in Cuba andhave been as- similated into the Cuban popula- tion. Clear Red Tape Like government sources here, Red Cross officials in Miami were unable to say just what caused the delay in removing the 250 Cuban-Americans. But indications were that those wishing to leave have not yet been fully cleared through the Cuban red tape. According to officials here, the plan is to fly the Americans back to the states on planes being used to fly Red Cross food and medi- cines to Cuba. Bighinatti said no roster of the 250 persons had been received. "The only thing we know is that the Swiss ambassador notified the United States state department that Castro okayed 250 Americans to leave," Bighinatti said. Mississippi Regents Set Candidacies Regents Eugene B. Power and Donald M. D. Thurber announced last week their candidacy for the regental nomination at the Demo- cratic state convention Feb. 2. Power will be seeking his sec- ond term as a Regent while Thur- ber, appointed to the body in 1958, will be seeking his first elected term. Both said they plan to campaign as a team if nominated-"a team within a team," Thurber noted. The two will be running with other Democrats for Wayne State and Michigan State Universities governing boards, the state board of education, and superintendent of public instruction. USNSA Group To Hold Talks The Michigan Regional of the United States National Student Association will meet at the Uni- versity this weekend. Delegates from Alma College, Central Michigan University, Flint Junior College, Kalamazoo College, Marygrove College, Mercy College, Michigan College of Mining and Technology, Michigan State Uni- versity, the University and Wayne State University will attend the three day conference. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns will deliver! the keynote address Saturday morning. His topic will be "Uni- versity Autonomy." Five workshops are scheduled for the weekend with plenary ses- sions to follow. Michigan Union President Robert Finke, '63, and Student Government Council member Kenneth Miller, '64, will lead the first workshop, a discus- sion on speaker policy. The second, led by Daily Editor Michael Olinick, '63, and Council President Steven Stockmeyer, '63, will deal with the relations be- tween financing higher education and the control of educational policy. Authorities Investigate Drug Charge NAACP President Claims State Tries To Discredit SNCC By H. NEIL BERKSON A Michigan State University student and a former MSU stu- dent, carrying supplies for unem- ployed Negroes, have been arrested in Clarksdale, Miss., on charges of "unlawful possession of barbit- uates." The pair, Benjamin Taylor and Ivanhoe Donaldson, both of whom have pleaded innocent, left Mich- igan last week with 1,500 pounds of food and clothing collected by University students before the Christmas recess for unemployed Negroes in the Clarksdale area who have been denied relief by Missis- sippi authorities. They have refused to distribute federal surplus food designed to aid Negro agricultural workers left out of work by an early winter. Friends of the Student Non-Viol- ent Coordinating Committee, a University student organization, gathered the goods and also deliv- ered $500 Tor their aid. Taylor and Donaldson left Ann Arbor in a truck three days before Christmas and arrived in Clarks- dale on Christmas eve. After deliv- ering their cargo they went to Louisville where several integra- tion groups had collected more food, clothing and medicine. They arrived back in Clarksdale on Dec.' 27. Clarksdale Chief of Police Ben Z. Collins said yesterday that his men found the pair sleeping in their truck at 3 a.m. and brought them in for "investigation." They were not under arrest. Later the truck was searched and the bar- bituates discovered, he said. Collins said he was "not at lib- erty" to name the drugs or indi- cate in what quantity they were found. Aaron Henry, president of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People in Mississippi and a Clarksdale resi- dent, eventually found out that Taylor and Donaldson were in jail although they were not allowed any phone calls. He secured law- yers for the pair and preliminary hearings were waived so that bail could be set. "We didn't expect bail to be any more than $1,000 and we wanted to get the boys out," Aaron ex- plained. However, Circuit Judge Edward H. Green set bail at $15- 000 each. "They really fooled us. That was a bit more than we could afford," Aaron said. Taylor and Donald- son's lawyers moved for a writ of habeas corpus on grounds of ex- cessive bail, but yesterday Green reduced the bond to $1,500 each. Several groups are now attempting to raise the money to get them out. Three doctors in Louisville who gathered the medicine have sent sworn affidavits to Mississippi and the United States Civil Rights Commission stating that there were absolutely no barbituates, sedatives or narcotics among the articles collected. Carl Braden of the Southern Conference Educational Fund, which helped collect the goods in Louisville, voiced the suspicion that Clarksdale police "are not beyond planting barbituates which they bought in some corner drugstore." Collins unconditionally denied that any such act had taken place. School Admits Two Negroes ATLANTA (A)-Emory Univer- sity, which has more than 4,000 white students, admitted two Ne- groes yesterday as full time stu- dents for the first time in the his- tory of the Methodist-supported institution.
