BIRMINGHAM (AP)-A federal

On request of Wallace, the Birm-

otguns sent police moving into
ction swiftly in the fear that
vide disorders had begun.
Two nights ago Negro disorders
esulted in the death of one Ne-
ro and the wounding of 20 oth-
r persons after the bombing of
he home of a Negro attorney, Ar-
hur Shores.
Peaceful demonstrations con-
nued in Boston where some 45
nembers of the NAACP early this
horning left the offices of the
oston School Committee, ending
sit-in demonstration that began
Chursday morning.
As the demonstrators filed out
f the building, Kenneth Guscott,
resident of the Boston branch of
he NAACP, said, "We leave with
o sense of triumph, no victory."
Some 25 police officers stood
uard in the building but made
no move to eject the sit-ins. The
olice occasionally urged the dem-
nstrators to leave but their pleas
were ignored.
The school committee Thursday
ight adopted an order calling for
;he ejection of anyone staying in
he building beyond 30 minutes
fter the committee meeting end-
d.
The deadline passed at midnight
nd theedemonstrators showed no
ign of leaving.
Deputy Police Superintendent
[erbert F. Maloney told newsmen
t 12:30 a.m. (EDT) his men would

.ould make no move to oust any-
ne.
In still another legal develop-
ment, a three-judge federal court r
in Tuscaloosa rejected a requestt
backed by Wallace to delay inte-
gration of the Birmingham schools.I
The suit, filed by six white par-c
ents, asked that the shutdownz
schools remain closed because oft

ence.t
Plans Telecast1
Wallace, meanwhile, planned a
statewide telecast for tomorrow,
presumably to discuss Alabama's1
racial crisis.
On the governor's orders, armed
troopers enforced closing of the
four Huntsville schools in the
teeth of opposition from school
officials, the city council and re-
sentful parents.
Three of the five members of
the council adopted a resolutions
condemning Wallace's action and
prepared to wire the governor a
request for immediate removal of
the state police.-
Council Order
In a telegram Thursday night,
the council told Wallace to keep1
out of Huntsville's school affairs.+
School officials would not say
whether they would go into court.

night Americans respect them for

Regents Send!
Unity Plans
To Pierpoiitt
To Examine Ties;
For New Center
The Regents have referred the
Robertson Report for a Union-
League merger to Vice-President
for Business and Finance Wilbur
K. Pierpont because of the finan-
cial transactions involved in merg-
ing the service organizations.,
The report attempts to establish,
a more financially efficient gov-
erning body so that a merged
Michigan Union and League, or
University Center, could under-t
take expansion of service facilities.
The most frequently discussed1
new facility is a conference cen-
ter. However, Pierpont said yester-
day that "nothing new has been
brought to my attention on at
conference center. We have had a
need for one for a long time, butj
there have been developments in
the community which raise ques-
tions about the advisability of the1
University building one.I
Cites Commercial Facilities
"One recent development is the
hotel being built downtown, which
will provide sleeping, meeting din-;
ing and cocktail facilities. An-
other is the many new motel in
the area. All the University may
need is a parking structure and
conference rooms, which we have,"
he explained.
However, the Central Campus
Plan includes a conference center,
attached to the Michigan Union
where Sigma Chi and Alpha Delta
Phi fraternities now stand.
The Union presently offers most
campus conference facilities, with
which it realizes profits to coun-
terbalance any deficits incurred
by services. Many universities have
conference centers integrated with
their unionsE.
Other Expansion
Even without expansion, the
transfer of League finances from
Pierpont's office to a University
Center with the Union's existing
financial autonomy could prove
difficult.
However, League President Gret-
chen Groth, '64, sees these dif-
ficulties overcome. "The Union
and League, as independent co-
operative ventures of students,
faculty and alumni, have enjoyed
financial success enough to justify
continued financial independence
and expansion.
'Increased Success'
"Furthermore, the Robertson
Report, in providing a more ef-
ficient governing board, promises
increased financial success. Most
important, the League, the Union
and the proposed University Cen-
ter are service facilities where fi-
nances must sometimes be sub-
ordinated to services. Therefore
it seems better to entrustmanage-
ment decisions to the students,
faculty and alumni being served
than to an impersonal financial
group," she said.
Alumnae financial interests in
the League also must be consider-
ed.
BIRMINGHAM UP) - Alabamac
Gov. George C. Wallace appearsE
to be sitting on an increasingly
hot seat today as resentment risest
in Alabama over the shuttered
schools and the issue of "cities'
rights."
He is being accused of "armed
invasion," harming the state, and
of having "gone wild."
This criticism comes even fromz
some of his friends.
Crackling CriticismE
It crackles in newspaper editor-;
ials, the statements of public of-
ficials and the expressions from!
angry parents.E
Yesterday, the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser said in an editorial:
"It appears as this goes to press1
that Gov. Wallace has dispatched
state troopers to Mobile and
Huntsville to usurp local power
by force.{
'Gone Wild'
"If this becomes a fact today,<
the Advertiser must sorrowfully1
conclude that, in this instance, its,
friend has gone wild."c
In Huntsville, meanwhile, a,
group of defiant women registered
their feelings about the governor's
action there. About 25 mothers
marched their children through
the cordon of state troopers sur-,
rounding East Clinton Grammar
School and took them into thea
building.
Before that incident, a woman
said to a trooper, "Is this Ameri-
Bar Press
At Meeting
The Board in Control of Inter-
collegiate Athletics last night re-
jected a proposal which would
have permitted a Daily reporter to
attend the monthly meetings of
the board.
Athletic Director H. 0. (Fritz)
Crisler offered two main reasons
for the board's refusal.
First, there is confidential busi-
ness, particularly dealing with
Western Conference affairs "which
can't be made public."
"The second reason is simply
that the board must consider not
only The Daily, but also all other
outlets of communication."
Crisler went on to say that "this
does not mean the doors are
permanently closed. Another pro-
posal would be met with and
treated courteously by the board."
In the first meeting of the
board since June, Crisler disclosed
that the matters discussed were
"primarily organizational."
ca?" And a 12-year-old boy, halt-
ed as he tried to enter Oison Jun-
ior High, said to the trooper, "I
think you and Wallace are mad."
In Face of Federal Might
In Birmingham Thursday, a
woman said, when turned back by
a trooper, "I want my child in
school. Who is protecting my civil
rights?"
Another newspaper, the Selma
Times-Journal, pointed out in an
editorial that Wallace's experience
at the University of Alabama -
when federalized troops were used
to integrate the institution-show-
ed that his "tactics cannot prevail
in the face of federal might."
The newspaper is a strong sup-
porter of Wallace, but it said:
Costly Maneuver
"The Selma Times-Journal is
fearful that this new maneuver by
Gov. Wallace is likely to prove
costly to him through federal pen-
alties and loss of some of the na-
tional prestige he has built up by
standing for states rights, espe-
cially as the people of Tuskegee
seem resigned to token mixing and
resent interference in their local
affairs by the governor."
That echoed the reactions in
Tuskegee last Wednesday when
Wallace closed the schools there.
"Tuskegee resents this invasion
by armed, helmeted state troopers,
coming in here without knowledge
or consent of local authorities,"
said Allan Parker, a bank presi-
dent and civic leader.
Governor's Invasion
"I feel this is an invasion of
Macon County by the governor,"
said County Solicitor Broward Se-
Igrest.
Before the Birmingham schools
were closed. City Councilman
George Seibels said in a state-
ment, "If George Wallace or any
other governor sends troops in, it
would be a plain usurpation of
rights unless help was asked for,
or there was a clear indication of
riotous behavior that local forces
could not control."
This issue of "cities' rights"
looms large in the situation in Ala-
bama today.
States' Rights
Wallace's actions in sending
troopers to Birmingham, Tuske-
gee, Huntsville and Mobile have
been compared to what many
Southerners consider the invasion
of states rights by the federal gov-
ernment. And states rights are su-
premely important to the south-
erner, something to be cherished
and jealously guarded.
Now, some Alabamians feel that
Wallace has duplicated federal ac-
tions by moving in on local au-
thorities.

WASHINGTON OP)-- Chairman
Richard B. Russell (D-Ga) and
two other members of the Senate
Armed Services Committee an-
nounced yesterday they will vote
against ratification of the treaty
to ban all except underground nu-

Russell told reporters that "after
long and careful study, I find that
I cannot conscientiously support
this treaty."
Earlier, Senators John Stennis
(D-Miss) and Strom Thurmond
(D-SC) declared their opposition
to the pact. They reached their
decisions, they said, on the basis
of closed hearings by the Senate
armed services' preparedness sub-
committee which Stennis heads
and of which Thurmond is a
member.

Thus, in Tuskegee, Segrest said
Wallace "talks about letting local
people solve their problems but
then violates these principles."
Local Responsibilities
And a Tuskegee clergyman, the
Rev. R. D. Miller said Wallace's
action "reversed the governor's
consistent stand. so far as local
people fulfilling their responsibili-
ties is concerned."
In Birmingham, city officials,
clergymen and civic leaders work-
ed hard, for months, to prepare
the community for the desegrega-
tion of the schools this week.

NEW ERA IN COOKING:
women's League To Use Speci
By KAREN MARGOLIS
Thanks to radar, the Michigan League snack bar has extended
its hours of operation and is offering a greater variety of items,
declared Wilma Steketee, business director of the League.
A self-service radar range newly-installed in the snack bar (in
he League basement) can heat food in a matter .of seconds. The
ange allows a student to purchase foods from vending machines
and heat them himself.
Ten seconds heat a piece of pie; one minute, a beef barbecue or
bowl of chili.
Extended Hours
Due to reduced labor costs, the snack bar can now afford to
tay open during the later "off peak" hours. Hours will extend until
1:30 p.m. on week nights, 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights
and from 5 to 8 p.m. on Sundays.
Last year the snack bar was never open past 11:30 p.m. and was
losed all day Sunday. The regular cafeteria section of the snack
bar will still maintain hours on weekdays from 7:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
The refrigerated vending machines are now offering a greater
The general assumption here is
that Rockefeller will make his
candidacy official late this year or
early next year and couple it with
an announcementihe will enter
the New Hampshire presidential
preference primary next March 10.
But, for the moment, the gov-
ernor is standing by the political
tradition tat a candidate for a
given office does not declare him-
self any sooner than he has to.
Rockefeller has manifested his
concern with issues beyond the
borders of histhome staterecently
by following traditional procedure
-a series of statements highly
critical of the national adminis-
tration in office.
The governor has placed par-
ticular emphasis on what he has
described as failures of the Ken-
Still another member of the,
Armed Services Committee, Sen.
Robert C. Byrd (D-W Va) told a
reporter he is inclined to oppose
ratification. He said:
"Unless I am presented evidence
between now and the time we vote
that allays my fears, I shall vote
against ratification."
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) an-'
other member, said he has not
made up his mind on how he will
vote. But Byrd indicated he is
leaning toward opposing it.
Not Surprising
These defections were not sur-
prising to administration leaders
who said they had been expecting
opposition from within the armed
services group from the beginning.
They said they still are confident
the opponents will be unable to
rally more than 20 votes.
Earlier, Sen. Gordon Allott (R-
Colo) had issued a statement say-
ing he will "vote reluctantly" for
the treaty "unless facts which ap-
pear subsequently will supply the
weight of evidence which places
this clearly in the character of
being contrary to our national
safety." Allott is not a member of
the armed services group.
Formal debate on the pact is
scheduled to begin Monday, with
a vote not expected for at least a
week. A two-thirds majority of
senators voting is required for
ratification.
Fear for Security
Stennis was the first senator to
announce firmly in the Senate
According to the Robertson Re-
port, the student representatives
would be the executive officers of
the activities group, which would
be responsible to the Center Board
for funds but under no other ,out-
side control. The OSA is specifical-
ly excluded from both the Center
Board and the activities group.
Thus the Robertson Report calls
for student participation in man-
agement, which the separate
boards Lewis proposes, would ex-
clude, as well as an independent
activities group.
"If we are to have one board
that covers the activity phases, we
think we have to be in some sort
of an advising position," Lewis
said. This would not necessarily
mean a program director such as
the League presently has, and
would "definitely not mean anyone
with a veto over activities."
Relation of Boards
As for the relationship of the
activities to the buildings boards,
Lewis feels "wherever activities
would be housed, they would have
some responsibility to the man-
agement of the building. They
might even be housed in SAB or
a new building."
He believes management of
physical facilities is the concern
of Pierpont, who declined to com-
ment on the merger until he has
completed studying the Robertson
Report.
"We are trying awfully hard to
separate the physical plants from
the activities board. From the
viewpoint of the OSA this will be
a merger of Union and League ac-
tivities," Lewis explained.
Implementation Group
"We hope to get an implemen-
tation committee appointed im-
mediately," Lewis continued. "I
see some real possibilities for an
all-campus calendaring process
here.
"If there has been any rumor
that the OSA wants to bring into
any central organization the man-
agement and administration of all
student groups, I've never heard
of this. All we want is an all-
campus calendaring group," he
emphasized.
Union President Raymond Rus-
nak, '64, said, "As far as I'm con-
cerned the Union Board will ap-
point its implementation commit-
tee at this month's meeting.
Strength in Autonomy
"The strength of the Union lies
in its freedom to act on its own.
If any groups other than the
Union and League want represen-
tation in the University Center,
this must be done only through
representation on the Center
Board. I see no need for a pro-
gram director or anyone else from
the OSA in the activities group."
Associate Dean James H. Rob-
ertson of the literary college,
chairman of the study committee,
insisted, "I will stand with the
recommendations of the report.
It is clear that there are real
strengths in the Union's auton-
