Informed Lansing sources say Van Peursem was pressured into the decision by Gov. George Rom- ney. Van Peursem is a Republi- can conservative, and a more mod- erate "Romney type" Republican at the head of the committee is considered as being better able to serve Romney's administration. "Van Peursem was elected chairman of the committee at a time when the party gravely need- ed his unifying ability as party spokesman," Romney said at the meeting. Personal Future "I sat down and talked with George Van Peursem recently about the future of the GOP par- ty and about his personal future," Romney continued. "I would have liked to see Van Peursem in an ad- ministration job, but he has de- cided to work out his own future." Van Peursem said he would seek employment outside the party. Michigan Young Republicans, also meeting in Lansing yesterday, passed a resolution commending Van Peursem for his work as chairman of the central commit- tee. On Van Peursem's successor, Romney said he had "made no commitments of support. At the present time I know of three per- sons well qualified for the job, and of these three I have worked the closest with Arthur Elliott." Follows Romney --AP Wirephoto CONFERENCE - Gov.

Mennen Williams said yesterday he is willing to run against Republican Gov. George Romney in 1964 if President John F. Kennedy considers the governor- ship more important than his present state department assignment. Williams, assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, made his comment on the 1964 state governorship possibility in an inter- view for the Detroit' News. Williams indicated he is willing to take Elliott, Romney's campaign anager in the 1962 gubernator- I race, is a moderate and follows >re closely Romney's political liefs than did Van Peursem. "However," Romney said, "I n't think it is necessarily so at Elliott will succeed Van Peur- iA. Because I mention Elliott's me does not mean he will get e job. As a matter of fact, I ink it put him back on the level th the other two." Sessions On China Continue NEW DELHI P)-Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru talked with officials of three nonaligned nations yesterday on their pro- posals for ending the Himalayan border conflict with Red China. The talks reached no conclusions and more were scheduled for to- day. The three officials explained to Nehru the proposals set down by six nonaligned countries during a meeting on the Chinese-Indian conflict in Colombo, Ceylon. Red China has announced a favorable reception to the proposals. Officials here declined to tell newsmen how the talks were go- ing. No Comment "There is always good will when friends are meeting. But I can't comment while the talks are still going on," Nehru said. Ceylon Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike sounded optimistic. "Every day I get more and more hopeful," she said. She refused to go into details. Three at Table With Mrs. Bandaranaike at the conference table are Justice Min- ister Asante Ofori-Atta of Ghana and Ali Sabry, chairman of the United Arab Republic's executive council. Informed sources said India was seeking to pin down details of the Colombo proposals on truce posi- tions of the Communist and In- dian armies along the disputed borders in northeast and north- west India. India is seeking to gain time to build up its battered army after a month of Red Chinese advances last fall. The Communists called off the fighting on their own Nov. 22 and announced they were with- drawing troops from certain areas of the battlefronts. Three More Nations s The other nonaligned nations which took part in the Colombo conference were Indonesia, Burma and Cambodia. Mrs. Bandaranaike and Foreign Minister Subandrio of Indonesia previously took the proposals to Peking. Nehru gave a state dinner last night in honor of the delegates from Ceylon, Ghana and the UAR. Among the 91 guests was the Com- munist Chinese charge d'affaires. Invitations to Red Chinese to at- tend state functions have been few since the border flareup in Octo- ber, and most of these have been declined. 'Serious Protest' Meanwhile, Red China charged yesterday Indian 'troops were buildingyfortifications in Chinese territory across the border from. the Indian protectorate of Sik- kim, A broadcast said the Peking regime lodged a "serious protest" with India. The New China News Agency in, a broadcast said Indian forces crossed the border from Sikkim on Sept. 28 and "have built a total of 39 pillboxes on Chinese terri- tory." Blocked Pass It said the Indians have blocked the pass at the border. "Furthermore, the Indian troops, who have been reinforced again and again, have repeatedly intrud- ed into Chinese territory for recon- naissance and provocation," the broadcast said. The Chinese also charged Indian aircraft violated Chinese air space in that area 12 times between Oct. 19 and Dec. 11.1 Tsombe Heads T( ward Kolwezi ..... . ......... ... ...YC:1:::AY"... ..,........ .,......,...*..........,.............. .. . .. . ...... . ...! .

This seems to be the general rule that the City Clerk follows in his interpretation of several court cases concerning the question of whether or not col- lege students should be permit- ted 'to register. According to City Attorney Jacob F. Fahrner, the City Clerk considers the following six questions in determining a student's eligibility to vote: Is He Home? 1) Has the student married and established his own home with his wife in Ann Arbor? And does he remain in that home during the time when school is not in session? In this situation, and par- ticularly when thenstudent has been married and living in Ann Arbor for more than a year, the Clerk has registered the student, according to Prof. Nicholas D. Kazarinoff of the mathematics department. In most of the cases, Prof. Kazar- inoff adds, the student's wife has been living with her hus- band in the city. 2) How long has the student been living in Ann Arbor? 3) Is the student free from parental control? 4) Where would the student go in case of sickness or acci- dent? 5) If the student is employed, how much time does he devote to gainful employment in rela- tion to his academic pursuits? 6) What is the student's in- tended place of residence after graduation? Of course, the student must also meet the state's require- ments that he be a citizen of the United States, at least 21 years of age, a state resident for at least six months and a resident of the city for at least 30 days before a regular, spe- cial or primary election. The criteria for student eli- gibility are drawn primarily from a case in which the Mich- igan Supreme Court offered a definition of "residence" as re- gards students. In the case of Attorney Gen- eral vs. Miller, it was stated that ". . . The great weight of authority is that a student at college who is free from paren- tal control, regards the place where the college is situated as his home, and has no other to which to return in case of sick- ness or domestic affliction, is as much entitled to vote as any other resident of the place where the college is situated." Obeys Principles The City Clerk also follows the general principles drawn up in "American Jurispru- dence." This article states that a vot- ing residence is not acquired by one who "resides in a place for no other purpose than that of securing an education, intend- ing to return to his former home after graduation." According to City Clerk Fred! J. Looker, trouble sometimes arises on the question of whether students should be permitted to register because of a provision in the state consti- tution. The provision states that "No elector shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence .. . while a student at any institu- tion of learning." This provi- sion has interpreted, however, to mean that a student shall not lose his usual voting privi- leges to his home city and state. In addition, trouble arose in 1960 because of a question con- cerning the national census. It was charged that Ann Arbor collected $11 in refunds of, various taxes due to the fact that students were counted as residents of the city. This implied that all other- wise eligible students should be allowed to register for elections because the city gained in their being counted in the census. The City Clerk, in a notice to the City Council, said that this argument had no bearing in the matter of student regis- tration. He also noted that the city loses the count of all its younger people who are away at college in other cities. Citizens of Ann Arbor who are eligible to vote can regis- ter from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mon- day-Friday at the City Clerk's office in City Hall. Because of the primary election in the Third Ward, registration is closed from Jan. 21-Feb. 18 in- clusive, but will be reopened until 8 p.m. March 4. . The Third Ward primary is on Feb. 18 and the general city election is on April 1. The Third Ward, which includes a great many fraternities and sororities, embraces that part of the city lying south of Hill St., east of the Ann Arbor' Railroad right-of-way, and west and south of Washtenaw. Check Qualifications Romney suggested a Republican meeting be set up to examine the 'qualifications of all candidates for the post of central committee chairman. This suggestion to the Republicans at the meeting was an attempt to heal a rift betweer the , "old guard" Republicans and the new moderate Republicans led by Romney, "I know that Art Elliott does not want to be chairman of this committee unless it is by choice o1 the party itself," Romney said. Romney also announced at the committee meeting that "the vol- unteers for Romney would work together with the Republican par- ty in campaigning for Michigan's new Constitution." YR's Plan Role In Campaign On onstitution Special To The Daily LANSING - State Young Re- publicans, meeting in Lansing yes- terday, discussed plans for the spring campaign on the new state constitution. Rep. Charles Davis (R-Ing- ham), a constitutional convention delegate, outlined a campaign to convince the people yin Michigan of the need for the new document. He stressed the vital role Young Republicans could play in the pas- sage of the Constitution. "The important job facing Michigan Young Republicans is to bring the constitution to the aver- age person in our state. We must' put the constitution in language they can understand and appre- ciate," Davis said. "Concern over apportionment provisions in the new constitution ' has taken precedence over other provisions of equal or greater im- portance. Such concern prevents objective viewing of the docu- ment," he asserted. One Young Republican told the group that "some groups are ob- jecting to the new constitution be- cause their special interests might be interfered with at some future time.". The new constitution faces a stiff battle when it will come to a vote on April 1 of this year. Various groups have been organ- izing on both sides of the issues with most Democrats and unions opposing the document and most civic groups and Republicans for it. T 7~ "r rl"I "K ft Leaves Ndola, Lauds Egan For Regents. Special To The Daily LANSING-The Michigan Fed- eration of Young Republicans an- nounced their endorsement of James Egan as candidate for the Regents at their Lansing meeting yesterday. Egan, a Brown City high school principal and staunch Republican, joined William B. Cudlip in seek- ing the two GOP nominations to the Regents at the Feb. 15-16 state convention. Egan became the fourth person' to declare his candidacy for the two on the eight-man board. Be-j sides Cudlip, who is seeking his first term on the board, Regents Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor and Donald M. D. Thurber of De- troit will seek election on the Democratic ticket. "No one presently on the Re- gents is or has been in education and there is a need for a skilled educator in that body," Egan said. Egan, who served as a high school principal for four years, also cited the need for some "young blood" on the board. "There is not a single man on the Regents who is under 58 years old. At least we should have someone who is able to finish out his eight- year term," Egan, 33 years old, said. Egan said he will base his cam- paign for the GOP nomination on his record. ion Romney in the 1964 governor- ship race '"if the occasion would arise where I would be most able to carry the Democratic banners in Michigan and it was more im- portant to work there than in Africa." Williams, who served as Michi- gan's governor for six terms be- fore being named to the state de- partment post in 1960 by Kennedy, added, "This would be something maybe the President would de- cide." Political observers said a gover- norship race between Williams and Romney would vie for nation- al attention with the presidential election in 1964. Such a campaign would prob- ably make or break whatever po- litical ambitions the two men might have for 1968. Relax Stands In Paper Strike NEW YORK (M)-Both sides in the, city's longest and costliest newspaper strike last night relaxed the stands they had held since before the newspaper blackout be- gan Dec. 8. But at the close of several hours of jo nt negotiations, neither side would accept the compromises made by the other as a solution to the labor dispute. Joint talks brought about at the urging of a fact-finding panel which blamed the International Typographical Union for the strike were recessed until further notice. .....:.:...::v :;~vr:a .:: ....... . . :,: ."

AFFILIATION PROPOSAL: 'U'-DelG Union TalksOpen By GAIL EVANS Officials from the University and Delta College began negotia- tions on the possible affiliation of the two campuses at a meeting here Friday. Delta President Samuel D. Marble said after the meeting' that the affiliation proposal will be presented to the Regents at their meeting Friday. Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Roger W. Heyns said that the administration will recom- mend to the Regents that negotia- tions with the Delta Board of Trustees be continued. Meetings and further communications be- tween the two groups are planned for this week. Present All Plans The University's policy on ex pansion has been to present all plans fully to the Legislature be- fore formal action is taken, ac- Group Meets To Consider Uses for Space Knowledge OAKLAND, Calif. (t)-How to put to common use the multi-bil- lion dollar space age technology will be discussed here March 27-30 by more than 100 of the nation's top scientists, educators, industrial- ists and government representatives. Carrying out an edict of Congress and a challenge of President John F. Kennedy, they will meet with the United States' space boss, James Webb, to work out methods of transmitting the knowledge. C. L. Dochterman, assistant to the University of California president, is the 'conference director. Yesterday he cording to University President Harlan Hatcher. Vice-President Heyns added that official approval of the mer- ger could come only after legisla- tive action. Delta Trustee Maurice Brown of Saginaw, also pointed out that the Legislature has the final say, and that the Delta board would keep the Legislature fully informed. Delta College, presently a two- year community college in the Saginaw-Bay City-Midland area, wants to Join with the University in order to become a four-year in- stitution. It is reported that Delta will receive a $1 million dollar gift from a private donor if the insti- tution will become a four-year college. Work Out Problems Heyns pointed to the education- al problems involved in establish- ing a University branch at Delta. He said problems would have to be worked out with the local com- munity as to enrollment, curricu- lum, and administrative structure. He said that the possible mer- ger is not an attempt to limit the community college system in Michigan. President Hatcher commented that, "we hope that the discussions started Friday will result in a comprehensive program which will meet the specific needs in higher education of the Delta community, taking into consideration com- munity college activities, college parallel programs and the inte- gration of present activities." + No Exact Replica' The structure and programs of a University branch at Delta need not be an exact replica of Uni- versity patterns in Ann Arbor, he added. In the event of a merger, ar- rangements to delegate powers to the Delta trustees from the Re- gents would have to be worked out, President Hatcher indicated. Marble said, "We were highly pleased with the outcome of the progress achieved at Friday's meeting, particularly with the, genuine spirit of understanding and cooperation shown by the: |University representatives andI Desertions Reported Of British, Belgians From Katanga Cause NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia WP) - Katanga President M o i s e Tshombe, slipping from United Nations jurisdiction in a secret night dash from his Katangan capital, apparently has headed for Kolwezi, remaining stronghold of his white officers and gendarmes. The secessionist leader confer- red in a hotel most of the day with some of his officials during a stopover here. He refused to dis- cuss Congo politics with reporters or to say whether his intentions were to wage a last-ditch fight or yield to UN pressure to rejoin the Congo. On to Solwezi Then he took off by plane for . the announced destination of Sol- wezi, a Northern Rhodesian bor- der post 100 miles northwest of here. Solwezi is on a direct route to the Katangan mining, smelting and hydroelectric center of Kol- wezi. Tshombe told newsmen he was returning to Elisabethville, the Katangan capital, and would go to Kolwezi tomorrow. UN and dip- lomatic sources in Elisabethvile discounted the possibility he would return there. In leaving Elisabethville in vio- lation of a United Nations cur- few, the secessionist leader dis- carded the advice of \British and Belgian consuls, and reports there indicated these diplomatic friends were washing their hands of him. Millions Missing Meanwhile, it was reported in Washington an estimated $8 mil- lion to $10 million worth of Con- golese francs is reported missing from the Katanga National Bank at Elisabethville, and financial ex- perts on the scene are trying to find out what happened to them. Diplomatic sources reported that UN representatives who took over the Katanga National Bank late last month are trying to find out what became of the francs under the administration of Tshombe. At the moment, these inform- ants said, the cash is missing and UN officials who took control of the bank'for the monetary council of the UN central government do not know what happened to it. Tshombe is said by United States officials to have substan- tial bank accounts in Switzer- land. German Reds To Hold Parley In East Berlin BERLIN (P) - Communists converged on East Berlin from afar yesterday for an East Ger- man Communist Party Congress that looks as if it will be domin- ated by the Russian-Chinese quar- rel. Diplomats expect the meeting, starting Tuesday, may open the way for a leftist summit confer- ence. The end result may be a world- wide party congress as last one, in November 1960, brought the Soviet and Red Chinese leaders to- gether in Moscow for a biting quarrel that was only publicly - and temporarily - patched over. The star at the sixth party congress of the East German Communists will be Soviet Pre- mier Nikita S. Khrushchev. He will arrive today or tomorrow aft- er a stopover in Poland. Khrushchev is expected to at- tack the Chinese Communists for wanting to take a more aggressive line against the United States and its western partners and for un- derrating A meric an atomic strength. To answer Khrushchev the Chi- nese Communists have named Wu Hsin-Chuan, a member of their central committee, as leader of a t.rp- , mphaAlpl pon finn, 'fa ii ARTS RESEARCH: Consider Performing Laboratory - -n By RICHARD MERCER A research laboratory for the performing arts is being consid- ered at the University. "The authors of the proposal be- lieve that the performing arts are entering a period of great change, and that staging, architecture and technology must keep up with ad- vances in the performing arts," Prof. Joseph J. Wehrer of the architecture college says. The goals of such a project are to develop new concepts of what a production facility for the per- forming arts should embrace, to discover what aspects of the per- foreign arts are most fundamen- tal, and to develop a methodology of architectural research in per- forming arts. ing the proposed production facil- ities in order "to avoid the stereo- typed and limited reactions that traditional terms like 'theatre' and 'concert hall' evoke, and also to permit recognition of the new di- rections of development that are opening up in the performing arts and in the control of environ- ment." New Relationship By changing the audience-per- former erlationship, it is hoped that the artist will be able to free himself from the limitations of the conventional theatre or "perform- ance environment." "When the physical form of the performance environment dictates an inflexi- ble, uncritically arrived-at rela- tionship of audience to event, the The proposed laboratory treats the artist's relations to the audi- ence through the medium of the performance environment from an architectural point of view, yet the possibilities for a new art arising from the new performance envir- onment have yet to be looked into, Prof. Wehrer said. The elements that may be con- trolled in the new performance environment are divided into two sections, the event, and the audi- ence.
