Jur Probes Recent Steel Price Boosts By The Associated Press NEW YORK-U.S. Steel Corp. said Monday it has received a subpoena to appear before a fed- eral grand jur in New York City. Dow Jones, a business news service, said that other major steel producers also had received sim- lilar notification.\ Dow Jones said the subpoenas were issued "presumably to provide information connected with the recent round of price increases in the industry." Decline Comment The Justice Department in Washington' declined any comn- ment. President John F. Kennedy told a recent news conference that he was watching "with concern" the rising price trend in the steel in- dustry but gave no hint of whether he planned to take any action. The first break in the steel price line came last April and gathered momentum during the summer and fall. These piecemeal price increases on selected products have now spread to approximately 75 per cent of all steel products. No Confirmation There was no immediate confir- mation that the subpoenas related to the price increases. A spokesman for U.S. Steel said the company had been served with a subpoena but he declined to comment on the content. Bethlehem Steel, the number two producer, declined to say im- mediately whether it had received a subpoena. Dow Jones said that Alfred S. Glossbrenner, president of Youngs- town Sheet and Tube Co., confirm- ed that his company had received a subpoena but that he "hasn't had an opportunity to study it." Notification Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. also was reported to have received notification to appear before the jury. A year and a half ago the Presi- dent used the full weight of his office to roll back a $6-a-ton across-the-board steel price in- crease in a confrontation between "big government" and "big busi- ness." The fight between the President and the major steel companies was one of the most bitter battles since the trustbusting days of Teddy Roosevelt. Kennedy's maneuvers behind the scenes in an effort to get the price increases rescinded brought cries that he was "anti- business." Some even named a subsequent Wall Street crash on the steel fight, but economists have since attributed the decline to other factors. GOP Hopeful Hits Democrats NEW YORK (A)-Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller yesterday accused the Kennedy administration of "try- ing to appease the reactionary wing r the Democratic party and blame Republicans as a smoke- screen" on the civil rights issue. Rockefeller also said the ad- ministration shows signs of left- ward movement 'in international affairs and warned against what he called "cynical gestures" by Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev. "The danger to freedom that stems from the ruthless goals of international Communism is as real today as it was a year ago when Soviet missiles were aimed at our cities from launching pads in Cuba," Rockefeller said. In a speech prepared for the opening session of the Empire Mis- sionary Baptist Convention in Brooklyn, Rockefeller accused both President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) of casting Senate votes against civil +Prof. Kalenbach has called an- other committee meeting for to- day. Decide Questions He said that yesterday's gen- eral discussion with Lewis decided several "questions of procedure about what our decision means. "According to the SGC Plan, we must make our statement to Lewis, and it goes on through him to the Council The Council is then given time to react and make any changes in the legislation un- der consideration. "At that point the responsibility for approving or disapproving Council legislation belongs to Lewis," he said. Recommendation Lewis makes his decision with the committee's recommendations and the latest Council actions in hand. "Lewis will not be expected to make his decision until the Coun- cil has taken its final action, if any," Prof. Kallenbach added. The referral committee called a stay of action on the Council's motion on membership selection several weeks ago, questioning two provisions of the Council-ap- proved motion. More Time Specifically, it wished more time to consider the composition of a membership tribunal, charged with hearing cases of suspected dis- criminatory practices, and to re- examine a section of the motion which granted access to confiden- tial membership statements to a membership committee and Iewis, but not to the referral committee itself. The referral committee has no real power to veto or approve Council legislation, but acts only in an advisory role to Council and the vice-president for student affairs. To Consider New Center By MICHAEL SATTINGER Yesterday's Senate Advisory Committee for University Affairs meeting,held at the Flint Campus, decided to appoint a subcommittee to study alternative plans for a faculty center, Prof. William Kerr, SACUA chairman, said last night. He is responsible for choosing members for the committee, which succeeds a preliminary committee headed by Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science depart- ment. The new committee will be ask- ed find possible alternatives to a previous proposal for a faculty center located off-campus. Under this proposal the center would have existed as a corporate entity. Existing Facilities The committee will considerha center located on campus which may usecexisting facilities, Prof. Kerr said. Plans for such a center would be contingent upon the out- come of the proposed. Union- League merger and' any facilities made available by the merger. By using facilities that are al- ready available instead of build- ing them, the cost of the faculty center would be greatly reduced, Prof. Kerr said. After preparing one or two plansrthercommitteenwould pre- sent these alternatives to the off- campus proposal to see what the faculty wants to undertake. The decision to set up the'fac- ultyhcenter committee was based on 'discussion with the Regents, Prof. Kerr said. The Regents had indicated they would feel better about giving the go-ahead for such a center if they knew what faculty sentiment was. An esti- mation of participation by the faculty in the center was felt to be necessary to ensure that the center would be on solid financial ground. Discuss Program SACUA also discussed the Flint College program, Prof. Kerr said. The Flint faculty expressed a desire to see their unit expanded to a four-year institution some- time in the future. They would also like to have first-year grad- JAMES A. LEWIS ... meets with committee COURSES: May Begin Pamphlet By JUDY BARCUS Next semester may see the ini- tiation of a University course de- scription booklet on campus. A motion will be presented to Student Government Council to- morrow that such a booklet be prepared. The proposal, a result of work by the Special Projects Commit- tee of the Michigan Union, will be; presented by Daily Editor Ronald Wilton, '64. If approved, the SGC Student Concerns Committee will join with members of the Union committee to carry out the pro- posal. Also Evaluation "The motion will include a rec- ommendation that the committee also study ways of developing a course evaluation booklet," Wilton said. In contrast with the descrip- tion, an evaluation booklet would contain students' opinions of courses instead of the comments of professors. The Special Projects Committee, headed by Robert Pike, '65, sees the work on course descriptions as a preliminary to the develop- ment of a course evaluation book- let which it has studied for two years. It discussed problems of constructing a reliable question- naire to assess student opinion with Prof. Melvin Manis of the psychology department. Another area of concern is the reaction of the faculty to being evaluated by students. Pike has talked to professors who doubt that students have the necessary perspective to evaluate a course while they're taking it. Faculty Join To counter this possible oppo- sition, Pike suggested that faculty members join the course evalua- tion committee to serve as a cata- lyst toward better student-faculty relations. Recently the Special Projects Committee wrote to the United States National Student Associa- tion and fifteen universities for copies of evaluation booklets. They have already studied those pub- lished at Harvard and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. These two booklets were dis- cussed last year-when represen- tatives of the Literary College Steering Committee, The Daily and the Special Projects Commit- tee met informally to see whether their groups could combine to publish a course evaluation book- let. Senat Approval of Construction Bill Granted Upper House Passes Five-Year Program By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Senate voted yesterday to authorize a five-year, $1.9-billion program of federal aid for college construc- tion, but sponsors fear the House may object to one of its provisions. This is an amendment giving specific permission for a taxpay- er's suit to test the constitutional- ity of any grant or loan to a relig- ious college. The amendment was sponsored by Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D-NC) who told the Senate he opposes the program because "it opens the public purse to religious schools in wholesale fashion."~ Authorizes Grants The measure authorizes grants and loans for new classrooms at four-year and junior colleges and would benefit public and private colleges. It goes beyond President J o h n F. Kennedy's proposed three-year program of loans only, but was strongly supported by Senate administration leaders. The bill, which passed the Sen- ate by a vote of 60-19, was sent to the House. The House passed a $1.2-billion three-year aid bill on Aug. 14, but without ary tax- payer suit proviso. Before the Senate acted, Sen. John 0. Pastore (D-RI D urged his colleagues to consider the Er- vin amendment carefully. Pastore contended the effects of the amendment could be catastrophic, because he said it would permit a single taxpayer to tie up grants' or loans to a worthy college in- definitely. Morse Backs Pastore Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore)1 backed Pastore, saying the amend-' ment could lead to frivolous law- suits. However, Morse said he would try to retain the major ob- jectives of the amendment in any conference with the House. Morse would head the Senate conferees if the House agrees to try for a compromise. Both Senate and House bills would bar federal aid for any fa- cilities to be used for sectarian in- struction or worship. Also barred from any federal aid funds would be stadiums and auditoriums where admission is charged. Exemption Bill Nears Debate Special To The Daily LANSING - A bill to exempt' fraternities, sororities and student co-operative houses from the per- sonal property tax advanced to the Senate floor last week - the1 farthest this proposal has ever' progressed. The measure, sponsored by Sen- ators Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann; Arbor) and Farrell E. Roberts (R- Pontiac), has been introduced in recent legislative sessions, but has died in committee each year. How- ever, when Sen. Charles Blondy (D-Detroit) successfully moved all tax bills out of the Senate taxa- tion committee, this bill was onel of them. Thayer explained that the measure was prompted by the Ann Arbor city assessor's desire to tax1 affiliates. All property has a $5000 personal property tax exemption and now affiliates are approach- ing this limit and thus face taxa- tion. * * * * * * Tuskegee, ' Ann11ounc Votes Aid IlIans tor 4 J01 Progran for College * * (.~) -Daily-Richard Cooper DEBATE PLANT-The Ann Arbor City Council last night discussed the proposed Alumni Housing Plan and decided to refer it to the City Planning Commission for further study. Residents opposed the project because they felt that its continuous roofing plan denoted multiple housing. Petition Referred to Committee * t. By JOHN WEILER A petition presented by a group of residents protesting the pro- posed Alumni Housing Plan was referred by the Ann Arbor City Council to the City Planning Com- mission last night. The petition asked that the council delay the start of the project until council members could decide if the units were multiple housing units. Survey Puts Nixon Ahead WASHINGTON (A)-If the 1964 presidential election were held now, former Vice-President Rich- ard M. Nixon would be the Re- publican who would come closest to defeating President John F. Kennedy, pollster Louis Harris re- ported yesterday. But, in a copyrighted story in the Washington Post, Harris said Nixon's performance against Ken- nedy would be only a shade better than Sen. Barry M. Goldwater (R- Ariz) and Kennedy would defeat either one of them, possibly by landslide proportions. The Harris poll showed Nixon getting 45 per cent of the popular vote against Kennedy if the elec- tion were held now. Nixon got approximately 50 per cent in 1960 when Kennedy de- feated him for the presidency. Goldwater captured 44 per cent of the vote when stacked up against Kennedy in the poll. It showed two other possible Repub- lican nominees, Gov. George Rom- ney of Michigan and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York with 43 and 40 per cent respectively against Kennedy. ! The poll showed also that while Nixon would appear to have a slight edge over Goldwater in a contest with Kennedy, the Ari- zona senator is the solid leader among rank-and-file Republicans for the GOP nomination. The specific question before the council was whether continuous roofing used in the structures constituted multiple housing. The contractor noted that the roof does not have to be con- tinuous but that the architect said it would improve the appear- ance of the structures if it were. 'One Inch Apart' The contractor said the, units have been designed completely separated and they will not be "one inch apart" if the council rules the continuous roofing to be multiple housing. The original plans for the hous- ing project were for multiple hous- ing, but they were voted down by the council, the builder said. The alumni housing project had already been passed by the Ann Arbor Zoning Board of Appeals. Fifth Ward Councilman Bent F. Nielsen (R) noted at the time that the project was "clearly with- in the bounds of Ann Arbor's zoning ordinances." Large Area The lots on which the project is set to be built will accommodate 32 housing units under the law while only 20 are planned, he added. The plan would leave a very large area around the project even if all 32 units are built. He said that this project is not a "sham" and that the project has met every requirement of' the city law. He called the opposition to the proposed housing a harass- ment, and noted that the fight has been going on for two years with no progress. "We might just as well throw the plans out of the second story window of the court house if the plans aren't approved soon," he commented. Beautify Area The contractor said he did not know why the residents were fighting the project. The contrac- tor's property is the closest one to the proposed site and he said he felt it would beautify the area to have the housing units. A resident told the council that they would find the project to be a "co-operative multiple housing project" if they examined the plans in detail. Another spokesman for the dents said that the project hultiple housing plan on zoned only for one- and family units. resi- is a lots two- Negroes Map New Protest By The Associated Press BIRMINGHAM - Barring a solution to the city's racial crisis by today, Negro leaders have threatened to renew demonstra- tions in Birmingham. Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth and Dr. Martin Luther King set today as the deadline for action on de- mands that the city hire Negroes as policemen. Cooperation To Include Exchanges Set-Up Provides Trade Of Students, Faculty As Initial Gesture The University and Tuskegee Institute yesterday announced they would go ahead ith a co- operative program be ween the two institutions. Such ties had been considered since last spring. The first steps of the program to be taken include exchange o faculty and students; in-service graduate training for the Tuske- gee faculty; exchanges of pro- grams such as choirs and exhibits;. and identification of promising. graduate students to study at the University. Announce at Conference The announcement of the pro- gram was made in conjunction with a University-sponsored con- ference on the role of the Negro in higher education. "This cooperative' program be- tween the University and Tuske- gee has particular reference to the needs of students whose prior educational and cultural exposure have been unduly limited by their race," University President Harlan Hatcher and Tuskegee President Luther H. Foster said in making the announcement. "It will extend the general use- fulness of each institution through resources and programs to be de- veloped by the faculties along specific lines." Consult with Chairmen Several Tuskegee faculty mem- bers consulted with chairmen from various University departments to plan possibk joint research pro- grams. Research problems of mu- tual interest to both institutions include: 1) Why Negroes choose the col- leges they do; 2) How to identify and nurture talent at an early age; 3) Enhancing motivation and outlook of youth with deprived family backgrounds; 4) Current and long-range problems in the social science fields, with particular reference to the emerging role of the Negro in American life; 5) General curriculum develop- ment; 6) Research in the natural sci- ences drawing in part upon the resources of the George Washing- ton Carver Foundation at Tuske- gee; and 7) Techniques of teaching basic English. Strengthen Liberal Arts The University will also help Tuskegee in strengthening its lib- eral arts program. At the same time Tuskegee will assist the Uni- versity in its work with Negro students. The University and Tuskegee ar- rived at their decision to imple- ment the program after several meetings were held at the Univer- sity and Tuskegee campuses begin- ning last spring. Yesterday's meet- ing and joint announcement were concurrent nwith a University- sponsored conference on the Ne- gro in higher education. Attending this conference are representatives of the Big Ten uni- versities, Tuskegee, the Univer- sity of Chicago and Wayne State University. Role of University The morning discussion centered on the role of a university in in- creasing the flow of prepared Ne- groes into the job market. The afternoon session consid- ered possible cooperative efforts among colleges and universities. The discussions also considered the problems of keeping Negro stu- dents in college and increasing the GOES ON SALE TODAY: New Generation Stresses Short Stories By BARBARA LAZARUS Personnel Director "Works of art are of infinite loneliness and with nothing to be so little reached as with criticism. Only love can grasp and hold and fairly judge them." These words by Rainer Maria Rilke launch the autumn edition of Generation, the campus inter-arts magazine, goes on sale today. This year's Generation, under the editorship of George White, '65, has its greatest stress on short stories, featuring eight of them "What Fine Pranksters We Are" by Robert Millea Hunt, '64, _is a biting commentary on the brutal world of a boxer. "One of the Boys" by Douglas Sprig, '65, received a freshman Hopwood Award in 1962 and deals with the emotions of a boy who participates in a gang beating. MARTIN LUTHER KING ... renewed demonstrations The next step is up to the city, Shuttlesworth said. "The city has all the cards face down. Now all they have to do is play them." Mass Meeting King was to arrive in Birming- ham last night and address a mass meeting at a Negro church. Shuttlesworthtsaid a decision as to whether demonstrations would resume would be made today. A news conference was scheduled. A formal statement outlining the city's answer to the demands has been promised by Mayor Al- bert Boutwell today when the city council meets. A source close to the mayor has already said that the answer will be based on civil service regula- tions, pointing out that the city cannot ignore the laws governing hiring of city employes.
