LXXIV, No.62 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1963 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES INDUSTRIAL REFORM: Tories To Present Sweeping Program LONDON (P)--Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home will pre- sent a sweeping program of social and industrial progress at the re- opening of Parliament today hoping to stem a Labor tide before the coming national election. The Tory program is sure to touch off a clash in the House of Commons with Labor Party Leader Harold Wilson, who says the Con- servative government lacks the money to make good on its promises. The debate probably will be only the first in a series of skirm- ishes between the prime minister and his sharp-tongued Labor op- DOUGLAS-HOME ...reform ARMS : Hope For UiN Rules Settlement UNITED NATIONS (MP-Diplo- matic sources expressed cautious hope yesterday that private ne- gotiations will produce a com- promise on Soviet proposals threatening an East-West break over setting UN guidelines for fu- ture disarmament talks. Unless a compromise is reached the UN's main political committee may be forced to toss the disarm- ament issue over to the 18-nation commission in Geneva without any specific recommendations While diplomats from the small- er nations tried to reach agree- ment in private huddles with the Russians, the 111-nation commit- tee turned to a resolution seeking to bar nuclear weapons from Latin America. Had Hopes Diplomats from 46 nations had been hopeful that the committee would approve unanimously their resolution calling on the Geneva negotiators to make efforts to reach agreement in limited areas as well as on an over-all approach to complete and general disarma- ment. None of the big Western powers or the Soviet Union was among the sponsors. The United States and Britain gave their approval, but the Soviet Union held back pending instructions from Moscow.- Then the Soviet Union circulat- ed proposed amendments which deleted reference to specific meas- ures, ,such as guarding against surprise attack, and to a United States-Soviet declaration of prin- ciples agreed to in 1961. Could Open Talks The Soviet amendments would also open the Geneva talks to gen- eral debate on relaxation of inter- national tensions. Negotiations are to be resumed early next year. Any compromise would have to be submitted also to the United States and Britain, whose spokes- men indicated they regard the Soviet proposals as reducing rather than promoting chances for any agreements in Geneva. France has boycotted the 18- nation commission in Geneva, and has not spoken in UN debate. In opening the afternoon de- bate on the Latin American nu- clear free zone, Brazilian Ambas- sador Carlos Af redo Bernardes declared that adoption of the plan would destroy the roots of the ,'.,Cuban crisis which put the world on the brink of nuclear war. Brazil and nine other Latin American countries are sponsoring the resolution to set up studies on how nuclear weapons can be out- lawed in Latin America. Workers Vote To End Strike *>ponent before the next national election, expected to be called in May or June. Modernize and Diversify Hoping to lead Britain into an- other industrial revolution, the Conservatives seek to modernize and diversify industry, as well as ;step up construction, improve the nation's social services and reor- ganize the defense system. The Conservative program will be broadly outlined in the tradi- tional message from the throne. However, Queen Elizabeth II, who is expecting a baby next year, will !not be present for the ceremony in the gilt and red chamber of the House of Lords. The speech will be read to the assembled members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords by Lord Dilhorne, the lord chancellor. As is traditional, the speech is written by the government in pow- er. Last Session The ceremony will mark the opening of the fifth and last ses- sion of the current Parliament. A new House must be elected within the next year. The exact date is up to the prime minister. The prime minister, who re- nounced his title as the 14th Earl of Home to run for the House, was elected by the voters of Kin- ross and West Perthshire in his native Scotland last week. The former foreign secretary who became prime minister a month ago to succeed the ailing Harold Macmillan, now faces the formidable task of creating a new image for the Conservatives, who have made poor showings in recent district elections. Vital Role A vital role in the Tory plans falls to Edward Heath, secretary for industry, trade and regional development. His role will be to encourage industrial moderniza- tion in the depressed areas of northeast England, central Scot- land and northern Ireland, which have not shared in the prosperity of the past decade.- With their economic health tied to old and declining heavy in- dustries. the government believes * the only hope for these areas is modernization and diversification. Douglas-Home was formally - and unanimously elected as his party's leader at a closed Conserv- ative party meeting yesterday. Participants said none of the bit- terness of last month's power struggle that led to Douglas- Home's designation was evident. A leading Conservative who had been widely regarded as Macmil- lan's most likely successor, Rich- ard A. Butler, now foreign secre- tary, seconded the motion to elect the party chief. In his first public speech since returning to London to take up the reins of government, the prime 1 minister told a banquet audience that he is charging Butler with one of the biggest diplomatic operations of all time. "His aim to nothing less than to reverse the thinking and ac- tions of men throughout the ages. sI can say with absolute condidence that the nations of the world long for Britain to exercise her full influence and authority on the world stage." The prime minister reiterated a theme of his, that both the Soviet Union and the West have aban- doned war as an instrument of national policy. Midwest To Seek A-Device By LOUISE LIND The University and a group of other Midwestern universities are currently participating in a lobby- ist movement in Washington sup- porting a proposal to build an atom smasher near Madison, Wis., the New York Times reported yes- terday. Funds for the $150 million ac- celerator, which would be a re- search facility for all the Midwest- ern institutions, including the University, weresat first denied by the Atomic Energy Commission. But when Jerome B. Wiesner, the President's scientific advisor, intervened, asking the commission to reconsider the proposal, Mid- western congressmen, senators and scientists redoubled their efforts to gain AEC approval. University's Role The University's role in the lob- byist movement is through its membership in the Midwestern Universities Research Association,' a group representing 15 universi- ties. For nearly a decade the associa- tion has been supported by the AEC in its campaign for an ac- celerator near Madison. The accelerator, if approved, would be of a conventional syn- chroton variety, with a capacity of 12.5 billion electron volts, or BEV. Beam Intensity At that capacity, the Midwest accelerator would not be excep- tionally powerful but would be dis- tinguished by the intensity of its beam of protons, which would be 100 times greater than in any oth- er machine. Robert Burroughs, director of the Office of Research Adminis- tration, commented yesterday that he expects that the University- and all other Midwestern institu- tions-would make great use of the accelerator, if the AEC allo- cates the funds for it. Such equipment is found on the East and West coasts but none in the Midwest area. Burroughs noted that Universi- ty professors who presently have to travel to the coasts to conduct research requiring an accelerator facility would be able to make trips to and from Madison or take up residence there during the summer. Midwestern scientists and poli- ticians regard the project as one way to end the "second class" re- search status of their region. At present, federal research' money goes predominantly to the East and West coasts. Burroughs acknowledged the second class research status of the Midwest. "All you have to do is look at where the facilities have been located-Brookhaven, Long Island and Oak Ridge, Tenn-but none in the Midwest region." Director Notes job Advances NEW YORK (IP)-The adminis- trative director of Plans for Pro- gress, a section of President John F. Kennedy's Committee on Equal Opportunity, said yesterday that 80 of the nation's largest compan- ies have reported substantial in- creases in hiring Negroes for sal- aried positions. "Two years ago" said G. A. Mc- Lellan, "you could waik through any corporation office in New York City and count non-whites on two hands. Today it's differ- ent." McLellan reported that 115 of the nation's top companies with 51/2 million employes have enroll- ed under the voluntary Plans -for Progress program. Beadi o Re Senator Sees 'No Panaceas In Tax Plan Notes Revenue Lack Despite Reform Move By EDWARD HERSTEIN Special To The Daily LANSING-Even if Gov. George Romney's fiscal reform program is passed by the Legislature, it will not solve the state's financial problems for the years ahead, Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) said in an interview yesterday. "If Romney's program is adopt- ed, the state can get by for an- other year," he said. "The pro- gram is not set up to create new revenues" Beadle was asked if this meant that an increase in the income tax would be likely in two years, if the Legislature were to pass Romney's present program He re- plied that this was pssible, but that studies have shown that state income taxes "do not go up and Hard Guess Beadle said it is "pretty hard to guess" the fate of Romney's program in the Legislature. He said that he was opposed to hav- ing a referendum on the issue of an income tax, commenting that "the Legislature has the respon-. sibility for providing revenue. Where would the state get funds if the income tax were voted down?" On the other hand, Beadle said he had no objection to holding a referendum on setting a limit to the size of an income tax. He suggested a ceiling of "not over five per cent on individuals, eight per cent on corporations and 12 per cent on financial institutions." Doubts Benefit However, "at this stage of the game, I doubt if an income tax ceiling referendum would help Romney's program." Beadle declined to be critical of Romney's handling of the tax plan before the Legislature to date. Asked if his treatment of the issue had cost him any votes, he replied, "I wouldn't say that is true. "I think it might be reasonable for Romney not to make any ap- proaches to the Democrats until he saw what he could accomplish with his own party." But neither did he blame the Democrats. "It is just one of those things that happen," he said. Program's Problems Beadle elaborated on the prob- lems that now hinder passage of the program. He said tCat the primary pur- poses of Romney's plan are "to provide a more equitable, stable tax base," and to have a program that would "more accurately re- flect the ups and downs of the economy." The Democrats are interested in a program that would, among other things, "take the sales tax off food and drugs, provide ex- emptions for elder citizens and provide more support for schools and mental health." - He noted that Romney's pro- gram provided exemptions for food and drugs, but that not all of the 12 Republican senators who would vote for an income tax would also be in favor of such anj exemption., e e8icts commend APPROPRIATIONS-Involved in the current questions of tax appropriations and whether or not the Senate Appropriations Committee should recommend that state universities raise their tuitions are, from left to right, Sen.

CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: Moro To fi ROME (M--Christian Democrat Party Leader Aldo Moro was charged last night with the task of giving Italy a new government in an hour of political and economic uncertainty. dead Italian Government Senate Tuition position because of their stands "on the themes of liberty in so- ciety and the state."r Moro then turned to Italy's steadily increasing inflation and unstable economic situation. He said the government must defend monetary stability and economic development must be pursued "through planning and in respect of private initiative." In foreign policy, he said Italy must remain "fully loyal to the Atlantic Alliance with all the ob- ligations that derive from the al- liance in an impassioned and con- stant search for peace." He also pledged to work for European uni- ty. Political observers feel it may be at least a week before he tells Segni if can form a government. He said he will try to form a left-leaning coalition opposed to Communism and loyal to the At- lantic Alliance. Moro, a law professor, received the mandate as expected from President Antonio Segni after a twilight conference at the Quirinal Presidential Palace. Moro, 47, and Segni met just six days after Giovanni Leone re- Democrat government to open the signed his minority Christian way for a center-left coalition of Christian. Democrats, Marxist-So- cialists, Democratic Socialists and Republicans. No Certainty There was no certainty that Moro, for all his reputed skill " in the political back rooms, would be able to bring the four parties to- gether In all four parties there are currents of opposition against a coalition. Moro told newsmen he accepted the mandate with reservations-. meaning he would first sound out party leaders on the possibility of creating a government. Majorities in all four parties have approved the center-left coalition idea although strong minorities have posed some sharp conditions. Some Christian Dem- ocrats oppose any coalition with the Socialists. Some Socialists ob- ject to Italy's membership in the Atlantic Alliance. Essential Themes "I hope they will agree on the essential themes of foreign, in- ternal, and economic policy," Moro said. It was Moro's way of saying all parties would be expected to par- ticipate fully in the government, taking cabinet seats. In a past center-left experiment under Am- intore Fanfani, the Socialists re- mained outside, giving only in- direct parliamentary support. Moro said it was his "decision to create an organic and well de- fined majority" that keeps the rightist liberal party, right-wing extremists and the Communists in opposition. Remain in Opposition Obviously addressing himself to a pro-Communist wing in the So- cialist party, he said the Com- munists must remain in the op-; Kennedy To Review Report On Southeast Asia Situation WASHINGTON ()--President John F. Kennedy and his top advisers will get a close-up view of the potentially dangerous situa- tion in Indonesia and Southeast Asia this week when veteran Diplo- mat Howard P. Jones returns from Jakarta. Jones is due Wednesday night for consultations. State Department officials said the top-level policy discussions will focus mainly on how to keep Communist-leaning Indonesia at Lroup~l Boost Committee May Request Fee Raises Would Supplement State Appropriation To Higher Education By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Special To The Daily LANSING-The Senate Appro- priations Committee will probably recommend that the University and other state-supported schools raise tuition next year, committee chairman Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) predicted yesterday. Whether the Legislature will fol- low the committee's recommenda- tion is not known at this time. Beadle forecast that the major- ity of his committee will want tui- tion hikes to assume part of a maximum $10 million appropria- tion increase to higher education next year. The $10 million maximum ap- propriation increase, applying to the 10 state-supported colleges and universities effective July, 1964 probably would be made on a bas- is of a $5 million or $8 million maximum state allotment, supple- mented by the tuition boost funds, Beadle explained. Power of Purse Although the Legislature can only recommend that the 10 schools raise "their tuitions, high University officials have indicat- ed that an appropriation which does not sufficiently fulfill the University's needs would necessi- tate the tuitiion like. Even should' the shool decide to raise their tuitions, they would get overall only a $10 million boost at best-as compared to the sub- mitted budget requests asking for a $43.8 million increase. The Un- versity alone has asked for an ap- propriation raise of $9.4 million. University and state officials last night reiterated their stands against the possibility of being called upon to raise tuitions. Moral Wrong Regent Eugene B. Power (Ann Arbor) called any further tuition hike "fundamentally and morally wrong," particularly in view of the five tuition boosts since 1958 which "have already raised University tuition too high." Several of these boosts were not accompanied by increases on the part of other schools. Power noted the Regents repeat- ed efforts to get the Legislature to indicate what percentage of the University budget should be ful filled by student tuition fees - but that they "refuse to give the percentage, only telling us that higher fees are needed." He said the Regents have tried to make the legislators realize the "tremendous return" financially from the educational dollar. Tax Return This return isrealized through taxes of the additional dollars which state university graduates make, Power explained. In calling for the tuition in- creases, the appropriations com- See. SEE, Page 8 Study Reveals Student Values C H I C A G O - Almost three- fourths of the American public feel that training for a good job is the most important aspect of college experience, William C. Eckerman, a study director for the University's Survey Research Cen- ter said Sunday. Eckerman discussed an in-pro- gress study of public attitudes to- ward higher education at a meet- ing of public information officers from member schools of the Ame- rican Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities and the Association of State Universities. The SRC study, financed by a $57,983 grant from the United States Office of Education, is scheduled for completion in June, 164. Eckerman cited several prelim- inary results of the study: least neutral. This has been Jones'C assignment ever since he was made ambassador to Jakarta al- most six years ago. Indonesian President Sukarno's policy toward the new Federation of Malaysia has American offi- cials worried. A recent special congressional mission headed by Rep. Clement J. Zablocki (D-Wis), reported the present conflict be- tween Malaysia and Indonesia "is, in some respects, as potentially dangerous to world peace as the war in Viet Nam." Serious Problems "The crisis raises some serious problems for the United States," the Zablocki report said. It cited the danger of Indonesian military action against Malaysia and Bri- tain, which has treaty obligations to defend the Federation. This, is said, could threaten to involve Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. These countries have mutual security alliances with the United States. Armed Conflict The Zablocki report said any armed conflict in this area "could escalate into a major war, one ul- timately involving A m e r i c a n forces." While Jones is here, Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution, the Indonesian military leader and defense min- ister, is due to visit Washington about Nov. 25, at the invitation of Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Nasution is expected to explain Indonesia's position in the dispute with Malaysia. The Indonesian military leader strongly advocates that his country should take over the primary defense responsibil- ity for the Malaysia, Philippine and Indonesia region. To Train and Equip Indonesian leaders have declar- ed that they will train and equip any Malaysians who want to fight for the independence of North Borneo and Sarawak. United States officials regard as a promising sign the reports that Indonesia's Foreign Minister Sub- andrio will attend a meeting of the Colombo Plan powers at Bang- kok. This would open the way for Kowalski Sees Tax Discussion With Romney ' By THOMAS COPI The Democratic House Caucus decided last night to meet today with Gov. George Romney and discuss his fiscal reform program. The Senate Democrats will cau- cus today before this meeting, and are expected to agree to meet with the governor also. House Minority Leader Joseph Kowalski (D-Detroit) said that the House caucus didn't decide on any Democratic program to present to Romney. He said that they would "listen to Romney's new program, if any." The governor yesterday indicat- ed that he would try to get the Democratic support that he needs in Detroit, rather than acceding to Lt. Gov. T. John Lesinski's de- mands for change in his program. In a letter to Lesinski, Kowalski, and Senate Minority Leader Charles S. Blondy (D-Detroit), Romney stated that he could not agree to the banning of local op- tion taxes which Lesinski had re- quested in a letter to the governor last week. Strengthen Local Government Romney also said that he be- lieves "in strengthening local gov- ernment, not in making it more dependent upon the state." He said the program he has worked out with Republican legis- lators allows senior citizens pro- perty tax relief by permitting "lo- cal units of government to either exempt . . . or defer without in- terest" taxes on their homesteads. "The proposed tax reform program together with the indicated sur- plus at the end of the current fiscal year will permit adequate improvement in support of schools and mental health." he said. Must Make Up Revenue Beer tax relief cannot be grant- ed unless the Democrats can come up with some way of making up the revenue which would be lost r .. _ _ - . COOK LECTURE SERIES: Evans Discusses Modern Medical Trends .;> By STEVEN HALLER "The elements essential for the continued growth of medicine can be found only in the university," Dr. Lester J. Evans said yesterday. Dr. Evans has the disinction of holding both M.D. and doctor of laws degrees. Beginning the annual series of William W. Cook Lectures on American Institutions with a dis- cussion of "The Contemporary that have occurred in the past few decades. While these new dis- coveries have resulted in "fewer illnesses and more patients the university and medical education have tended to become more di- sease-oriented and less patient- oriented." He traced this development to "less intense concentration on acute and chronic organic illness and preoccupation with mastery cerned with the education of young who can only look ahead. In my opinion, no other 'man- made institution' is similarly charged. Herein lies the difference between a practicing profession ... and the university," Dr. Evans said.
