explosive," gripped Laos yesterday after a two-hour gun-and-grenade
battle 100 yards from the American embassy between right-wing
forces and pro-Communist Pathet Lao troops.

'Project Hope'
Financial Aid
"Project Hope does more good
for our country than almost any
other kind of foreign aid," former
Congressman Alvin M. Bentley,
chairman of the State Committee
for Project Hope, said yesterday.
Addressing a banquet gathering
persons interested in forming a
local group to support Project
Hope, Bentley outlined the organ-
ization of the state-wide group
and showed a movie illustrating
the work of the project.
As depicted in the movie, Pro-
ject Hope is a floating hospital
ship, traveling to areas throughout
the world where medical aid is
needed.
Peru Work
The film depicted the work of
the project in Peru where it gave
55,000 innoculations, distributed
without cost thousands of car-
tons of milk,. and gave medical
treatment, including major sur-
gery to - more needy thousands,
again with no charge.
In addition, all medical work
was done with Peruvian doctors
and nurses looking on or assisting,
thus giving them valuable medical
training.
Professors James A. Taren of
the Medical School and C. E. Ging-
les of the Dental School also
spoke at the banquet. Both men
were with Project Hope in Peru.
Success
"The project did what it set out
to do," said Prof. Teran.
"I have never talked with any-
one concerned with this project
who has not shared this enthu-
siasm," added Prof. Gingle.
Bentley explained that he was
organizing the first statewide or-
ganization for Project Hope. "Dis-
semination of knowledge is as im-
portant as funds at this time," he
said.

Shortly afterward, the show-
down debate was opened by Chair-
man J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark) of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee. He strongly urged ratifi-
cation in a lengthy speech fre-
quently interrupted by questions.
The debate is expected to run
for about two weeks before the
final vote in which two-thirds of
those voting must approve the
treaty if it is to be ratified.
Not Sufficient, But...
Fulbright said the treaty will
not of itself break "the fatal cycle
of fear and armaments and greater
fear and finally war." But he said
it could "in some small measure
mitigate the fears and suspicions
of, the cold war and perhaps in
timfe lead to further measures of
limited accommodation."
If the treaty is carried out,"
he said, it "could lead gradually
to an entirely new relationship
with Russia."
At a later news conference,
Dirksen said if Kennedy's letter
to Mansfield is forthcoming today
he will use it as the basis of a
Senate speech supporting ratifica-
tion.
Goldwater Demand
One subject discussed at the
White House, he said, was the de-
mand by Sen. Barry Goldwater
(R-Ariz) that effectiveness of the
treaty be postponed until Russia
withdraws all nuclear missiles and
troops from Cuba and permits on-
site inspection to prove this has
been done.
Dirksen said he does not think
Goldwater's proposal is germane to
the treaty.
"I could not go along with it. To
me, it would be a confession of
weakness. It would be saying 'we
can't deal with Castro, therefore
we'll get Uncle Nikita to deal with
him'."
As the debate got rolling, the
As the debate got rolling, the
Senate Preparedness Subcommit-
tee of the Armed Services Commit-
tee made public a report signed by
six of its seven members asserting
that Russia has surpassed the
United States in development of
big bombs. It said the Russians
may possess superior knowledge of
anti-missile programs and that un-
der the treaty they may draw
abreast in low-yield weapon tech-
nology.
The report said the disadvan-
tages "in our judgment, are not
outweighed or counter-balanced by
the claimed military advantages."
A dissenting view calling the
subcommittee's conclusions 'un-
duly pessimistic" was issued by
Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R-
Mass), chairman of the confer-
ence of all Republican senators.
He said he will support the treaty.
Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo)
signed the report, he said, on the
ground he considered its factual
data correct. But he, too, included
a statement calling the report
"overly pessimistic" and repating
that he will vote for the treaty.
Sen. Margaret Chasem Smith
(R-Maine), another signer, listed
16 questions she wants answered
before she makes up her mind on
how to vote. She said she wants to
be convinced "that the paramount
issue of our national safety and se-
curity will not be put in jeopardy."
Other signers were subcommit-
tee chairman John Stennis (D-
Miss) and Senators Henry M.
Jackson (D-Wash), Strom Thur-
mond (D-SC) and Barry Goldwat-
er (R-Ariz). Stennis, Thurmond
and Goldwater have come out
against the treaty and Jackson
has not announced a stand.
Seventy-three of the Senate's
100 members are committed to or
are inclined now to vote for rati-
fication of the treaty, an Associat-
ed Press survey shows.
Co-O rdinating
Group To Meet
The Michigan Co-ordinating
Council for Public Higher Educa-
tion will meet tomorrow with
members of Gov. George Romney's
Citizen's Committee for Higher
Education in Lansing.
The council will present to the
"Blue Ribbon" citizens' committee
on higher education the results of
a study of the immediate prob-
lems facing higher education in
Michigan.
These problems are also being
studied by the "blue ribbon" com-
mittee which hopes to present its
report to the governor sometime
in September.

BIAS LAW:
City Plans
Meetings
By THOMAS COPI
The Ann Arbor City Council last
night scheduled two closed meet-
ings for tmorrow night with civil-
rights and other "interested par-
ties" to be designated by Mayor
Cecil 0. Creal, to discuss the pro-
posed fair housing ordinance.
The council meeting last night
was picketed for the fifteenth
straight week by about 50 people
under the cosponsorship of the
Ann Arbor Fair Housing Associa-
tion and the local branch of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
Professor Albert Wheeler of the
Medical School, local chairman of
the NAACP Housing Committee,
and Rev. Henry Lewis of the Hu-
man Relations Commission had
asked last week that theirs and
other civil rights groups be allow-
ed to meet alone with council.
However, the plan that included
meeting with the other "interested
groups" along with the civil-rights
groups was the one that the coun-
cil finally passed.
Amending this policy last night,
the council decided to meet with
the civil rights groups alone-after
meeting with both the civil rights
groups and the "interested par-
ties."
Then on Saturday morning, the
council will hold an informal clos-
ed session to discuss the results
of tomorrow's talks.
In telling of the city's need for
a full-time human relations com-
missioner, First Ward Councilman
John Teachout (D) said, "Ann
Arbor and the University commun-
ity are becoming large and inter-
national enough to warrant the
employment of a full-time human
relations commissioner by the
city." He also asserted that "the
Human Relations Commission is
kind of falling apart. We need a
man who can stay right on top
of things."
He also mentioned that such a
man could also be used "for pub-
lic relations."
Fourth Ward Councilman Wen-
dell Hulcher (R) replied to Teach-
out's remarks, "If you want a com-
mission to fall apart, just say it's
falling apart. I take violent ex-
ception to your statement, and I
wish that you would retract it."
Teachout replied, "I didn't mean
to imply that the Human Rela-
tions Council isn't up to par. I
publicly apologize. However, we do
have chaos, if not for any particu-
lar reason."
Further discussion among the
council membersresolved the fact
that the hiring of a full-time hu-
man relations commissioner might
be a good idea, and that there has
been discussion in the Human Re-

Of Activities
Follows Delegation
Of Robertson Report
To Lewis, Pierpont
By BURTON MICHAELS
Regent Irene E. Murphy of
Birmingham announced yesterday
that the Regents have requested
a "program planning prospectus
for all non-academic activities"
from Vice-President for Student
Affairs James A. Lewis and Vice-
President for Business and Fi-
nance Wilbur K. Pierpont.
Referring the Robertson Report
for a Union-League merger to the
administration, the R e g e n t s
sought "to supplement that re-
port," she said.
"If we focus on just two piles
of bricks"-the Union and League
-"we will miss a lot. We want the
full range of non-academic activ-
ities. Then we'll see where activi-
ties should be housed," she ex-
plained.
October or November
"We would expect to receive the
repo in maybe October or No-
vem r," she continued. "When it
is completed and brought back to
us, we will publicize it.
"We have felt the way we
handled the calendar change and
the Central Campus Plan worked
well. Both were highly charged
with emotions. After we receive
the report and publicize it, we'll
table it for a month to see the
reaction to it. At this point we
have no preconceived opinions.°
As for the range and type of
activities being studied, Mrs. Mur-
phy "emphasizes the full-range of
non-academic activities. So m e
activities might not even need
roofs. I personally would like to
see small frequently scattered
tennis and handball courts built.
Long-Range Ideas
That Lewis and Pierpont were
studying long-range proposals for
student activities came to light
after it was discovered Friday that
the Regents had referred the
Robertson Report back to them.
Lewis, Regent PaulG. Goebel of
Grand Rapids and Regent Eugene
B. Power of Ann Arbor declined
to comment on the long-range
study. Among the long-range plans
Lewis had mentioned Friday,
however, was "an all-campus cal-
endaring group."
Lewis had also mentioned Fri-
day that he thinks the Office of
Student Affairs "would have to be
in some sort of an advising ca-
pacity" for the activity phases of
the Union and League, or a
merged Union-League or Univer-
sity Center.

MICHAEL BROWN
... praises Castro
Brown said, however, that this
did not stop those who disliked
Castro or the policies of the gov-
ernment from speaking their mind
openly in public.
The state department was act-
ing illegally trying to keep Amer-
icans out of Cuba, Brown asserted.
He attacked the idea that the
government was trying to keep
Americans from going to Cuba so
that Latin and South Americans
would do likewise. "If America is
so afraid of Castro's ideas that
we won't let others just see them,
then America is in pretty bad
shape.
'Try To Learn'
"If Cuba is doing something
good, we should try to learn some-
thing from them," Brown said.
"The Cuban people are getting
what they want and the evidence
is the tremendousenthusiasism
and spirit with which they work.
"Cuban Prime Minister Fidel
Castro wants young people around
the world to see his revolution,"
Brown asserted. Americans were
specifically invited because it was
good publicity for Cuba,, and be-
