For Defense,
WASHINGTON (P)-A Defense
Department spokesman said yes-
terday that pending legislation on
prices could add billions to the de-
partment's $55 billion budget for
1964.
Aaron J. Bacusin, deputy for
procurement management in the
Air Force, represented the depart-
ment at a Senate Commerce sub-
committee hearing to consider a
bill aimed at promoting quality
and price stabilization and re-
straining unfair methods of dis-
tribution.
The measure provides for en-
forcement of a brand-name pro-
ducer's suggested prices for his
product.
"This bill will be in defiance of
the principles that Congress has
enunciated in its anti-trust leg-
islation and legislation requiring
competitive purchases by govern-
ment agencies," Bacusin said.
"The Defense Department, being
the largest consumer in the United
States is deeply concerned with
inflationary and anti-competitive
potential in the bill and opposes its
enactment," Bacusin said.
He claimed government exemp-
tion from the bill would be inef-
fectual because manufacturer con-
trol over government distributors
would put the government in a
disadvaintageous position as to
control. Further, any fair trade
or fixed price system invites hori-
zontal price fixing by manufac-
turers at each succeeding level,
which defeats competition."
The bill "could empower the
manufacturer to control his dis-
tributors, at all levels, through
revocation of the right to resell
the product. Thus, the distributor
would probably deal with the gov-
ernment as he was instructed."
MORE CONSUMER ITEMS-Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush-
chev told the Central Committee of the Communist Party yester-
day that the need for deprivation in order to build heavy
industry had come to an end. He announced plans for developing
a new industrial program aimed at producing more consumer
goods.

Iucation Bills
The packet of 12 bills bearing
the higher education legislation
has compactly incorporated the
new education section's objective
to combine institutional autonomy
with devices for coordination.
Expedient passage of a flock of
higher education bills is expected
to occur in both houses of the
Legislature Wednesday according
to such top lawmakers as the
Senate floor leader and Education
Committee Chairman William G.
Milliken (R-Traverse City).
These bills are designed to put
into the law books the different
provisions on higher education
contained within the education
article of the new constitution
taking effect Jan. 1.

CoordinationI
The coordinating feature will
be a newly revised State Board of
Education taking effect Jan. 1,
1965.
Institutional autonomy is pro-
vided within the bills through a
set of measures which give inde-
pendent constitutional status to
each of the seven schools not cur-
rently granted constitutional au-
tonomy. ,
The schools include Ferris State
College, Grand Valley State Col-
lege, Michigan Tech, Eastern
Michigan University, C e n t r a 1
Michigan University, Western
Michigan University and Northern
Michigan University.
Constitutional Status
The University, Wayne State
University and Michigan State
University are currently granted
constitutional status, 'complete
with their own governing boards.
In giving the seven schools their
constitutional autonomy, the con-
con framers and the lawmakers
have attempted to shape the pow-
ers of the seven schools similar to
the current powers of the "big
three" which will be carried over.
In the case of four universities
-Western, Central, Northern and
Eastern Michigan-provisions have
thus been necessary to establish
boards of control to consist of
eight members appointed by the
governor in January.
Own Boards
Ferris, Grand Valley and Mich-
igan Tech currently have their
own, governing boards.
All seven boards-two members'
o be appointed in staggered fash-
ion; every two years--will be given
by the bills authority similar to
that of the Regents.
This power includes independent
financial control and the right to
set operational procedures vary-
ing from tuition to personnel ?se-
lection.
Other Problem
One pertinent problem of over-
lap between new and old consitu-
tion is not being covered in this
set of bills, however.
This overlap is caused by the
fact that the current State Board
of Education will remain operative
until a new one can be elected to
take over Jan. 1, 1965. The current
board is empowered with almost
complete control over Eastern,
Western, Central and Northbrn
Michigan Universities.
The University faces a minimum
of legal changes when the con-
stitution goes into effect, a fact
which is reflected by its scant in-
clusion in the 12 bills.

MOSCOW (I)-Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev yesterday
assured hard-pressed Russians
that the decades of deprivation
necessary for building heavy in-
dustry are at an end and the time.
has come to satisfy the needs of
the people.
The Soviet leader announced
plans for sinking more than 42
billion rubles ($46.6 billion) into
developing the chemical industry
under a new seven-year plan. Ma-
jor attention will be given to
chemical fertilizer for faltering
agriculture.
"The Soviet people created a
first-rate heavy industry under
the leadership of the party,"
Khrushchev told a plenary meet-
ing of the Communist Party's Cen-
tral Committee. "Now the state is
in a position to channel enormous
means into the development of
chemistry, agriculture and light
industry to produce more food and
goods to directly satisfy the re-
quirements of the people."
Unprecedented Scale
He said that the vast program
would be carried out on a scale
"unprecedented in world practice."
One vital item on the agenda
was how to boost the chemical
industry and put more fertilizers
into the Russian earth and more
consumer goods i n t o Russian
Khrushchev's plan for the per-
iod 1964-70 calls for building 200
new chemical plants and rebuild-
ing 500 others.
The premier conceded that the
Soviet Union would have to seek
much of the equipment and know-
how for the new chemical com-
plex in the west. But he warned
Western businessmen against try-
ing to squeeze ;"fabulous profits"
out of the Soviet Union.
"We shall place orders with
those who want to make an hon-
est profit, provided there are cred-
its, because this has become the
norm of economic revelations," he
said.
See Political Weapon
Khrushchev lashed out at "the
malicious fever that has gripped
our enemies" following this year's
catastrophic crop failure. He de-
nounced "the most reactionary
and embittered enemies of Social-
ism as (former German Chancel-
lor Konrad) Adenauer and the
like," claiming:
"They gloat over the fact that
the Soviet Union has had an ad-
verse agricultural year and there-
fore allegedly one can present po-
litical demands to it and take it
by the throat ...
"They say outright that before
selling wheat or supplying chemi-
cal equipment to the Soviet Union,
politicaldemands must be present-
ed to it. "j
Not Enough Grain
Khrushchev indicated the So-j
viet Union this year had been
able to buy only about 44.8 mil-
lion tons of grain from the West
instead of the 65.5 million tons
planned.
Themasses of the Russian pub-
lic have displayed open discon-
tent about the shortage of flour
and bread. In reply to grumbling,
Khrushchev said:
"There are some people who
ask, 'How is it to be explained
that now we buy grain, whereas
when our gross grain production
was smaller we sold grain our-
selves?"'"
He said that in the days of
Stalin, the Soviet Union exported
grain while its own people starved.
"Yes, comrades, it is a fact
that in a number of regions of
the country, in the Kursk for in-
stance, people starved to death in
1947. And we sold grain at that
time."
But Khrushchev cautioned the
Western powers against "trying to
dictate political terms to the So-
viet Union."

WASHINGTON-A drive to ob-
tain signatures of 218 House mem-
bers on a petition to force civil
rights action quickly swept past
the 100 mark yesterday, then
slowed to a walk.
Backers of the civil rights legis-
lation sponsoring the petition be-
lieve they will obtain as many as
160 signatures when the present
session of Congress adjourns late
this month.
They still have all of next year
but their goal is to force a House
showdown next month.
Long Line To Sign
House members formed a long
line when Rep. Emanuel Celler
(D-NY) placed the petition on
the speaker's desk. During the first
hour of the session, 115 members,
most of them Democrats, signed
their names.
Celler is the chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, which ap-
proved an omnibus civil rights bill
on Oct. 29 but has been unable to
dislodge it from the rules com-
mittee, headed by Rep. Howard W.
Smith (D-Va), a persistent foe
of the legislation.
Noting that many members
generally frown on using the dis-
charge petition approach to leg-
islation, Celler asked his col-
leagues to consider it "not as
something unholy or untouchable"
but as a part of the House rules.
Smith Not Specific
He said that while Smith has
promised to hold hearings some-
time next month, the promise was
made in "Delphie language."
"How soon in January?" he ask-
ed. "Will the hearings be long or
protracted?"
There were several complaints
about the procedure.
Rep. John V. Lindsay (R-NY),
a civil rights backer, said no Re-
publicans had been consulted in
advance. "I don't think this a good
way to go about advancing the
cause of civil rights in the United
States today," he added.
Rep. Paul Jones (D-Mo) com-
plained of what he called the
"demagoguery going on."
Sa onsors of the petition believe
that if Smith starts hearings as
promised next month and then
pursues dilatory tactics, the neces-
sary 218 signatures will be obtain-
ed in a hurry.
c.
WASHINGTON-Even as new
civil rights legislation is sought,
the Justice Department finds it-
self unable to get the funds from
Congress it needs to enforce exist-
ing laws.
This ironic situation has drawn
almost no attention. The South-
erners in Congress have succeeded
quietly but efficiently in holding
down appropriations for civil
rights operations. The problem
could come out into the open
Thursday, when the Senate is
scheduled to consider the Justice
Department's appropriation for
the current fiscal year.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee turned down last week
a request for extra money for the
department's Civil Rights Division.
The committee took an unusual
step of specifying that the addi-
tional funds it recommended
should go to other activities, not to
those dealing with civil rights.
More Aides Sought
The Civil Rights Division has
only 40 lawyers to carry on its
programs throughout the South
as well as in Washington. That
compares with 300 lawyers in the
Antitrust Division.
In the current budget, President
Kennedy sought 19 additional
lawyers for civil rights. Some race
relations experts outside the gov-
ernment wished that the request
had been higher.
The House allowed only 8 pf the
19. The Justice Department hoped
that the Senate Appropriations
Committee, which is usually more
generous, would approve the full
request, or at least a few more.
Not for Civil Rights
In its report last week, the
Senate Committee gavethe Justice
Department $84,000 more than
the House had voted. Ordinarily,
it would leave to the department
how to spend the money.
But this time the committee
I
AUSTIN
DIAMOND
CORPORATION
provided that the sum was to go
to the department's Tax and Civil
Division "to-.assist with the in-
creased work loads." The Tax
Division already has about 180
lawyers and the Civil Division 190.
As is customary in Congress,
the handling of the Justice De-
partment's appropriation was left
largely to a subcommittee.
Five Members
The five subcommittee mem-
bers were Democratic Senators
John L. McClellan (Arkansas),
Allen J. Ellender (Louisiana) and
Robert C. Byrd (West Virginia,
and Margaret Chase Smith (R-
Maine) and Roman L. Hruska (R-
Nebraska).
Two of the five were Southern-
ers totally opposed to civil rights
legislation. A third was from at
border state, andneither of the
two others has been especially
identified as a civil rights advo-
cate.

WASHINGTON-James B. Car-

Union of Electrical Workers, said
yesterday the $11 billion tax cut
bill should be revised to give a
better break to low income famil-
ies.
The nation is "staggering under
the burden of a national unem-
ployment rate of at least 5% per
cent" and only greatly increased
purchasing power will solve the
problem, Carey told the Senate
Finance Committee.
