At 'a meeting Sunday, four rep- resentatives from the League and three from the Union outlined problems and areas of disagree- ment in any such merger.h s If they can come up with a pos- sible merger plan, they will pre- sent the plan to the League and Union Boards for their approval, Gretchen Groth, '64, said yester- day. Separate Existence One question to be answered is whether coordinate activities, such as Michigras, Soph Show and Musket, should be continued un- der their largely separate exist- ence or whether they should be brought more under the general structure of any merged Union- League, Union President Raymond Rusnak, '64, explained. At present each coordinate activity is run un- der one committee which exists solely for that event. Other regular student activities are run under standing commit- tees, such as the Union's Special Projects and Cultural Affairs Committee and the League's Edu- cation and Cultural Committee, Sets Likely Imminent Passage RAYMOND RUSNAK GRETCHEN GROTH ... Joint board ... proposals which handle any projects that come up in their areas. Specifically, the Union and League representatives must de- cide how much independence should be given to chairman of co- ordinate a c t i v i t y committees: Should they be given a seat on the joint activities board? Another general problem to be worked out is handling of finances, f- 'U'Senate Approves Motion T .Widen Role in Selections By KENNETH WINTER The University Senate yesterday approved a resolution intended to widen its role. in the establishment and operation of University- wide faculty committees. At a sparsely-attended meeting, the Senate also heard Prof. Richard Cutler of the psychology department explain a controversy between the Senate's Student Relations Committee and the Office 'of Student Affairs over two OSA appointments made this summer. SIn addition, Prof. William Kerr, chairman of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, the Senate's. executive unit, pre- : 'tsented a report calling for great- er faculty interest and participa- tion in the operation of the Uni- }Y versity. Prof. Kerr, chairman of the nuclear engineeringdeat rdepart- ment commented that "the qual- ity of our answers" to the prob- lems currently facing the Univer- sity "will depend directly upon the extent to which the faculty participates in their formulation." since the Union and League run under different systems. The Union Board budgets money for individual committees, whereas the League budgets its activities from one lump sum given to it by the Regents. Billing is another technical dif- ference which also must be settled. The Union works its billing through its own general manager, whereas the League has its money placed with the University's audi- tor of student organizations. One suggestion was to have one of their business offices handle bills and payments and then charge the other for half the cost of activities. OSA Link The decision on what type of a link any merged Union-League would maintain with the Office of Student Affairs must still be reached. There was general agree- ment that no link is needed be- yond representation on the joint board created to handle student and coordinate activities At present the assistant to the program consultant works part- time for both the League and OSA, thus serving in some capacity as a link for the League. The whole structuring of a new Joint activities board for the two organizations must still be worked out. Such a board would be sep? arate from the present Union and League Boards, which would still exist, although perhaps in changed form. The representatives from the Union and League working on merger plans intend to come up with individual answers to these problems over Christmas vacation.. Grant Funds To Tuskegee Part of a $350,000 grant to the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama from the United Negro College Fund will go toward support of a' newly initiated exchange relation- ship between the University and Tuskegee. The money was given to the fund for distribution to Tuskegee+ by the Carnegie Corporation. The plan with the University is' to exchange faculty members asl consultants, with some joint ap- pointments to both, and also ex- change students at the graduate and undergraduate level. Study Finds 'U'Doctorate Figure High The University was among the top 10 colleges and universities in the United States in number of doctorates granted and number of undergraduates who go on to earn their doctorate degrees, a recent National Academy of Sciences study revealed. The report further indicated that the United States may dou- ble its annuau output of doctor- ates by 1969. If present trends continue, the nation's universities will produce 24,000 doctorates a year by 1969, compared with 12,000 last year. At the same time, the compre- hensive study of the nation's most highly educated manpower reveal- ed that the proportion of doctor- ates in the physical sciences has remained steady over the last 40 years. Contrary to Warning This is in sharp contrast to frequently voiced warnings that the current stress on science threatens to drive the humanities out of the academic market place. Columbia University was found to be at present the leading in- stitution in total number of doc- torates produced. City College of New York led all the nation's col- leges as a "source" of undergrad- uates who go on to receive doctor- ates. M. H. Trytten, director of the Office of Scientific Personnel, in stressing the importance of the report, said that "the rate of de- velopment of modern society is seen to be related directly to the output of men and women who have achieved the highest levels of education." Development Rate He said in an introduction to the study that "the rate of innovation in a society" is dependent on the output of highly educated man- power. The study stressed, however, that its optimistic projection for a doubling of doctorates by 1969 de- pended not only on a continuation of the present trend of the num- ber of persons entering advanced studies but also on the expansion of faculties and facilities of the universities and on economic sta- b:Mty. Whereas the general increase of PhD's-the academic level of achievement that is often consid- ered the cutting edge of a nation's total strength and productivity- is encouraging, the report's find-1 ings on the advanced educationJ ow women appears dismal. Women, for example, account only for 5 per cent of the doctor-I ates awarded in the natural sci- ences at present, compared with 11t per cent-or twice the present pro- portion-in 1920. However, thet trend of steady decline began to be reversed in 1950. Copyright, 1963, The New York Times1 View Research ManagfeabilityI By LOUISE LIND Two reports issued yesterday questioned the manageability of federal research and develop- ment expenditures which last year totalled 15-billion of the taxpayers' dollars. The first report came from the House Science and Astro- nautics Committee, headed by Rep. Emilio 0. Daddario (D- Conn). It questioned whether the massive federal research programscould continue to grow, as it did in the last de- cade, and whether the time had come to articulate a national policy for science and tech- nology. The second, an annual re- port from Carnegie Institute President Caryl P. Haskins dealt with some of the same problems as the subcommittee. The report warned that too much bigness and organization can become a threat to scien- tific creativity. , Needs Direction The interim report from Dad- dario's subcommittee-one of five Congressional committees investigating federal research and development expenditures -suggested it was time for Congress to assume the respon- sibility for giving "effective di- rection" to the nation's scien- tific efforts and the determin- ing of priorities among re- search projects. Thomas Keena, administra- tive assistant to Daddario, termed the initial report a "statement of purpose" and RALPH A. SAWYER ... basic research Among the questions asked were : 1) Is the organization of scientific research and develop- ment within the federal gov- ernment adequate to guarantee full use of our resources? 2) Is the opinion and knowl- edge of the scientific commun- ity adequately considered in the decision-making process of the federal government, both in scientific matters and in public policy? 3) What level of basic re- search should the country and the federal government support to assure the maintenance of leadership in the world? Commenting in this question yesterday, University Vice- President for Research Ralph Sawyer said, "In my opinion, we are a little short on basic research." Little Basic Research He pointed out that currently only three per cent of the na- tion's gross national product is spent on research and develop- ment and that only one-tenth of this is used for basic re- search. Other questions raised by the subcommittee included: . -What important areas of science are being neglected? -What areas of science suf- fer from a manpower shortage? Sawyer asknowledged that there is a shortage of scientists "in almost all areas" and that the shortage would double in the next 10 years. See QUESTION, Page 2 noted that the subcommittee will now go into a panel analy- sis to decide what course its in- vestigation will take in the coming months. lHe explained that the sub- committee had defined the scope of its problem within 20 points, any of which would "furnish a fertile field for fu- ture investigation." Scientists Pose Questions Keena said that the ques- tions raised were those "posed by scientists as a result of this study" and that each entailed a detailed analysis. :.':rev+'. it+"a'{,t?+r"r:.;.ti.;r,."rr""{5""":+":",rr,{ :;:. i{'r'x". { ".;r: ".cy,{;" ,"r r?° +fi:.' .".,,"v~ a: ., 7,{Ctuyr:ry I aX?'{{v }:... ,.ar n s;.,,.

BUTLER ... reassures Germany Britain Pledges Respect For German Rights BONN (P)-British Foreign Sec- retary Richard A. Butler reassured West Germany yesterday that Britain will not take any steps in East-West affairs without con- sulting this country and respect- ing its interests, a British source said. The West German government has feared for some time that Britain might ignore Bonn in try- ing to come to an understanding with the Soviet Union. Butler, on his first visit to Bonn, met with Foreign Minister Ger- hard Schroeder and West German President Heinrich Luebke. He will see Chancellor Ludwig Erhard to- day. End Distrust A British source said. Butler went to great lengths to reassure West German leaders in an. effort to end the lingering distrust between the two NATO allies. Schroeder reportedly expressed concern lest any possible East-West non-ag- gression treaty should jeopardize the ultimate status of Berlin and access routes to the city. Butler, who supports such a treaty, told Schroeder that this would not be allowed to happen, the British source declared. Expresses Support Schroeder reportedly expressed support for further moves aimed at easing East-West tensions, but cautioned that the West German government does not believe "Pre- rmiar~~~~~~~ Ttr.hhvi nmnrnih Faculty Participation The faculty participation reso. lution was drafted by the subcom- mittee on University Freedom and Responsibility and approved last month by SACUA. It asks that SACUA: -"Be consulted before any Uni- versity-wide committee operating within the area of jurisdiction of the Senate is created, whether standing, special or advisory and including committees for the se- lection of executive officers; -"Provide a panel of names for appointment to such committees whenever SACUA deems it desir- able to do so, and --"Designate a faculty member of each committee to submit re- ports of progress to SACUA at frequent intervals." The resolution states that the intention of these provisions is to enable University-wide committees to "be representative of the fac- ulty, enlist its cooperation and al- low it to follow the.course of com- mittee deliberation." Appointments Squabble The SRC-OSA controversy arose when the OSA appointed directors of housing and counseling without consulting SRC, the SACUA group concerned with student affairs. Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis "has recently ex- pressed his regret that such con- sultation was not sought," Prof. Cutler, SRC's chairman, told the Senate. "In this context, Lewis has sug- gested that a more effective means be found, to maintain communica- tion between administrators and related faculty groups during the summer session." Because of the "relative inactivity" of faculty groups during the summer, such contact has been hard to main- tain, Prof. Cutler noted. Just Better Communication In calling for greater faculty participation, Prof. Kerr said he is "not proposing that the University be run by faculty committees, but that there be better communica- tion. "Although the University is run by its administrative officers, the administration is at any time ready to accept comment and sug- gestion. It is our obligation to pro- SHIFT: Udall To Set oil Policy WASHINGTON (4P) - President Lyndon B. Johnson told Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall yes- terday that he wants the Interior Department-not the White House --to set national oil policy. It seemed apparent that John- son, coming from a major oil pro- ducing state, wanted to free him- self in advance of any suggestion that his Texas ties were influenc- ing national oil policy. The secretary said that the in- terior budget has been pretty well fixed and can be described as a "hold the line" budget. In giving Udall's department primary responsibility for draft- Ing oil policy, Johnson broke with the pattern followed by President John F. Kennedy. Under Kennedy, the White House was the center of policy making in this area. 7 Udall said Johnson wanted to return to the setup employed when Harold Ickes was Secretary of the Interior in the acministra- tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In other action Johnson spent1 90 minutes discussing defense spending with Secretary of De- fense Robert S. McNamara, Sec-1 retary of State Dean Rusk, and1 Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman1 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "This was a very extensive and fullscale review of the whole mil- itary expenditure program," White House Press Secretary Pierre Sal-1 inger said. Salinger claimed noc final decisions were reached. c Kelley, Legislature Disagree On Powers of Rights Board By THOMAS COPI A fight is apparently Kelley and the Legislature mission. Kelley issued an opinion on the subject last July 22 saying that the Civil Rights Commission, which will become effective with the new state constitution on Jan. 1, should be a self-ruling body. However, the Legislature appar- ently wants to have final say on the actions taken While Kelley said that the com- mission should have plenary pow- ers in making and carrying out decisions concerned with such things as housing, education and employment, the Legislature is at- tempting to give itself final say over decisions made by the com- mission through what has been called a "hidden measure" in the bill giving legal authorization to the commission. The Legislature is attempting to put the CRC under the State Ad- ministrative Procedures Act. All cammittees and commissions un- der the SAPA have their actions reviewed by the Legislature. Gov. George Romney has en- dorsed "fully" Kelley's opinion and has already named members to the commission. He agrees with Kelley, who says that the seven- man bi-partisan board is intended to be a constitutional board, and therefore not subject to Legisla- tive review. Kelley has announced that he will make a statement today Other action expected today is a Republican caucus in the house to discuss the proposed extension of terms, of elected country offi- cials until 1966. Pope Plans Hol Land Trip As States Note Preparations VATICAN CITY (WP)-Arrangements sped ahead today for Pope Paul's visit to the Holy Land Jan. 4-6. The Pope met with two Roman Catholic prelates from the Holy Land, presumably on the details of his visit. Also in Amman, capital of Moslem Jordan, Premier Hussein Ben Nasser set up a special committee to make arrangements for the Pope's visit to the Jordanian parts of the Holy Land. Named to as- sist the committee were five mem- bers of Parliament-four Chris- LIKE A SHIERMMI tians and one Moslem. The pre- mier heads the committee. brewing between Atty. Gen. Frank J. on the issue of the Civil Rights Com- Set Meeting To Conclude Final Issue Note Johnson To Get Legislation This Week WASHINGTON M-Early pass- age of two major education bills seems assured after the settle- ment yesterday of major disagree- ments over a broad vocational ed- ucation program. Senate and House conferees an- nounced that they compromised on all but one of the issues that have stymied action on the voca- tional bill for weeks. Agreement on this bill would clear the way for action on a $1.2 billion college-aid measure which has been held up in the Senate pending settlement of the voca- tional dispute. The conferees called another' meeting for today to settle one remaining question, involving the amount of vocational education grants to the states. They said this should present no serious dif- ficulty. Reach Johnson Soon Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D- NY), chairman of the House con- ference group, predicted both bills may reach President Lyndon B. Johnson by the end of this week. As part of the vocational edu- cation bill, the conferees agreed to a two-year extension of the im- pacted areas program and a one- year extension of the 1958 Na- tional Defense Education Act. The conferees accepted a Sen- ate increase in college student- loan funds which would mean a boost from $90 million to $125 million in the current year, and to $135 million in the fiscal year starting next July 1. Can't Meet Requests Many universities have reported they are unable to meet loan re- quests under present limitations. The impacted areas program provides between $250 million and $300 million a year to help school districts crowded because of fed- eral installations. Main Argument One of the main arguments over the vocational bill centered around Senate authorization of $180 mil- lion for 15 residential training schools and $310 million for work- study programs. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) proposed that these two new ap- proaches be combined into one with a total allotment of $150 million over the next four years, instead of the five originally planned, and that the Commis- sioner of Education be given broad authority to experiment with the new approaches. Major Compromise Another major compromise, ad- vanced by Powell, concerned the question of how the new voca- tional grants to the states should be allocated. The Senate voted for a formula giving more money to the poorer states, while theHouse bill pro- vided for distributing the funds strictly on the basis of popula- Supreme Court Supports Right Of Union Critic WASHINGTON () - The Su- preme Court yesterday let stand a lower court decision that labor unionmembers have wide latitude to engage in criticism of union officers. The high tribunal refused to re- view a ruling by the United States Circuit Court in New York. This held that the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act bars unions from disciplining members found guilty of slandering or libel- ing union officers. In 1961, District Council 9 of the AFL-CIO Painters and Paper- hangers Union found Solomon Salzhandler guilty of libeling an official of Local 442 by accusa- tions concerning union funds. He was ordered removed from office as financial secretary and sus- 'Ho use Passes JAuthorization For Aid Bill. WASHINGTON (P)-The House yesterday passed a $3.6-billion foreign-aid authorization bill that includes authority for the Presi- dent to extend controversial most- favored-nation status to Poland and Yugoslavia. The measure, a compromise of the House and Senate versions, was approved 195 to 164. It goes now to the Senate for final action scheduled today. But this is just the first half of the annual ritual by which Con- gress provides the funds to aid other countries. The authorization bill sets the ceiling figure. Still to come is the appropriation bill which provides the money, and this figure is expected to be much lower. Foreign Aid Chief David E. Bell told the Senate Appropriations Committee that there is "a solid and clear-cut need" for the full $3.6 billion, which was slashed down by Congress from the ad- ministration's request for $4.5 billion. Opposition centered on the most - favored - nation provision, which allows the President to con- tinue this treatment for Poland and Yugoslavia if he finds it is important to the national interest and would promote independence of the countries from Moscow. Most - favored - nation status means they are treated on the same tariff terms as any other nation the United States deals with. Rep. Edward J. Derwinski (R- Ill), who is of Polish extraction, said "if we extend this preferential tariff treatment, we are perpetuat- ing Communism." N TANK: Israel announced Sunday it had set up a similar committee for the Pope's tour of the Israeli section of the Holy Land. Premier Levi Eshkol heads the committee. The Vatican maintained silence >} on the proposal by Orthodox Pa-. triarch Athenagoras of Istanbul for a summit meeting of all ma- l jor Christian faiths while Pope Paul is in the Holy Land. Vatican officials have indicated it is under study but have declined to comment on it. It is believed. Pope Paul will be willing to meet individual leaders informally and " Gargoyle Arrives on Campus By LEONARD PRATT With all the subtle grace and beauty of a Sherman tank, ... :: ......
