Capital Outlay Program Discussed Asks Fund Start For Building Authority in Conference of a Dynasty? Committee Says- Not To Get on Ballot LANSING (1P) - Life flickered yesterday in Gov. Williams' recom- mendation for a king-size capital outlay program starting later this year 'or in 1961. But the flame was low. This much emerged from an hour-long, closed-door conference Thursday in the governor's office between Williams and the Repub- lican-controlled House Ways and Means Committee. The huddle came less than 24 hours after the deadline for com- mittee action on the governor's proposal for creation of a state building authority. The authority was urged as a financing device for 164 millions in new building over the next three or four years. Only heroic measures could re- vive the apparently dead bill, but Williams and Rep. Arnell Eng- strom (R-Traverse City) commit- tee chairman, said that some thought was being given to a November ballot proposal. This would ask the people to vote on whether to pledge the state's faith and credit behind a large block of bonds for new buildings. No figure was men- tioned. Although it would delay any actual construction, it would produce a lower interest rate on state borrowing. Williams and Engstrom made clear there were no commitments on this or any other course of action. It was understood that Republi- can committee members would talk over the problem with colleagues, perhaps get a caucus decision and return for further talks next week. Republican legislative leaders have been trying to get together on a pay-as-you-go program for 1960-61 ranging from $7 to $15 million. Colleges, universities and men- tal institutions are down for the lion's share of projects recom- mended by the governor. Williams said that over all building needs of the state for the next flive years have been put at as much as $600 million, and that colleges "view with hor- ror" his advocacy of 150-million plus. Willams Says Leral11sSeek New Interests DETROIT ('-"The true liberal is always seeking new vistas," Gov. G. Mennen Williams said here last night. "While most men are worried about making safe landings, the true liberal is busy taking off to explore new possibilities," he said. The governor spoke at the 13th annual Franklin D. Roosevelt Day dinner of the Detroit chapter of Americans for Democratic Action. Peace is not an end in itself, Williams told the group, but must be a part of the effort to elevate the human condition. "We must work to abolish the barriers to dignity in our own country," he said. "Foremost among these are discriminatory practices In both North and South. A (APP-HOME EXCLUSIVE! AURCHASE PEAN "IACIN10 t1EVERYONE DQtIWIED FRE AND CUSTOM MtfUt ON YOUR LOT AND FOUNDATION...

AS WAVE RECEDES:- Courts Convict Negroes Legislature Debates New GOP" Budget LANSING ()-The Republican $403-million general fund state budget for 1960-61 started moving yesterday in the Legislature. Bills carrying $107 million for mental health, public health, cor- rections and airport construction aid purposes reached the halfway point in the legislative trip with- out change. There was some debate on the $73.8 million mental health bill, up nearly $3 million for 1959-60, and one attempted $1 million addition to the public health bill for can- cer research. But beyond that the four bills were voted through the Senate and into the House without inci- dent. Supplemental Funds Trailing along with them was a bill providing about $4.3 million in supplemental funds to carry cash-short agencies through the current fiscal year. Despite a one-man fight by Sen. L. Harvey Lodge (R-Waterford), the Senate refused to write into the mental health bill language establishing a priority for treat- ment of children in available fa- cilities. The proposal for more money for cancer research came from Sen. Harold M. Ryan (D-Detroit). Schedule Debate The House marked time on the budget bills being started from that end of the capitol, setting Monday night for the start of debate. In the Senate, the $107 million higher education bill and a token that ultimately will carry the 1960-61 capital outlay program were held over until next week. There has been some complaint, notably from Michigan State Pres- ident John A. Hannah, about al- lowances for state colleges and universities. No Material Changes Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Bliss- field) doubted any material chan- ges will be written into the bill. The corrections bill, for $17.1 million, carried $400 thousand for a start on a new prison camp for women to be built near Brighton. The women's institution will be a pioneering project of its kind in the nation. By a 56-38 vote, the bare mini- mum needed for passage, the House approved a bill prohibiting hospitals from detaining patients until their bills are paid or ar- rangements made for payment. Impound U.s. Mills n Cuba HAVANA (') - Cuba's revolu-i tionary government yesterday seized three United States-owned sugar mills worth an estimated1 $10 million. In reporting the takeover, the newspaper "Revolucion" said1 workers at the three mills "have always been victims of exploita- tion of Yankee functionaries who always maintained close relations with (ex-dictator Fulgencio) Ba- tista's officials." The mills, located in Eastern Cuba, are the Israel, Los Canos and Soledad. They are owned by the Guantanamo Sugar Co. of New York City. The takeover was a joint action by the Institute of Argarian Re- form and the Ministry for the Recovery of Stolen Property. The agrarian institute now controls and operates 32 of Cuba's 161 sugar mills. Issue Statement Officials of Guantanamo Sugar Co. later issued a statement say- ing authorities had informed them the intervention would be of short duration and was for the purpose of investigating possible links with the Batista regime. The officials said no one associ- ated with the Batista regime was ever a stockholder in the company and expressed belief that investi- gation would prove such allega- tions "to be completely false and baseless." The government also announcwdi intervention in the management of the Guantanamo Railroad Co., which is Cuban-owned but oper- ated by the Guantanamo Sugar Co. The Agrarian reform institute will run the railroad, Acquire Stockpile Informed sources said meanwhile Cuba has acquired a huge stock- pile of arms since Prime Minister Fidel Castro took power Jan. 1, I1959. The informants gave this pic- ture: The weapons have come from European sources despite a United States embargo on arms shipment to the troubled Carib- bean. ' One of the biggest purchases Cuba has made has been an esti- mated 25,000 Belgian automatic rifles of a new type being adopted by the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization. One source said the Cuban army has more of these new rifles than the United States. Most of the munitions have come from Belgium, including rifles, rifle ammunition and gren- ades. The French ship La Coubre, which exploded in Havana harbor a week ago, carried almost 80 tons of such munitions. Prospects for a satisfactory ar- rangement between the European Free Trade Association and the European Eiconomic Community are now somewhat brighter, Nor- wegian Commerce Minister Arne Skaug said. At a press conference in Ham- burg recently, Skaug expressed hope that realistic negotiations would soon be initiated between the seven-nation EFTA and the six-member Common Market. Earlier during his extended tour on West Germany, the Commerce Minister emphasized the urgency of finding a solution to Europe's trade policy problems. He warned that if it takes too long to agree on the concessions that must be made by both par- ties, irreparable damage may be done to the structure of European production and commerce. Addresses Association Addressing the German Parlia- mentary Association at Bonn, Skaug rejected the idea of a glo- bal solution to European trade difficulties, since the trade among European countries is far greater than their collective trade with the rest of the world." "If Europe can achieve a multi- lateral solution of its own prob- lems, I am convinced that prob- lems of trade relations with our friends across the North Atlantic can also be solved." N Skaug observed that Norway has special reasons for keen in- terest in free world trade and speedy unification of Europe's commercial policies. The country exports almost half of its gross n ..tional- product, as opposed to o :e-sourth for West Germany, a. ; six per cent for the United States. TO NEGOTIATE SOON: Europe Aims for Trade Unit Y Nearly three-fourths of Nor- way's foreign trade is withdEurope and much of this commodity ex- port goes to the six Common Mar- ket members. Facilitates Solution The Norwegian minister stressed that the EFTA conven- tion is in every way designed to facilitate a solution to Europe's trade problems. "A prolonged economic splits," he declared, "would certainly have a grave ef- fect on political cooperation as. well." As further reason for a planned TICKETS TO PICK UP AT THE *AIRLINES??

Moreover, a durable solution o Europe's trade problems, primar ily on a European level, woul remove the uncertainties whic are now a source of concern t industry and commerce. And mos important, it would lay th groundwork for future economi expansion in Europe, he conclud ed. ~CO-OPOPNHUE For Demons By The Associated Press Courts in several southern cities yesterday convicted a number of Negroes for taking part in dem- onstrations as the wave of discon- tent over segregated lunch coun- ters appeared to be declining. Negro students at Columbia, S.C.. cancelled plans for a march to the South Carolina state house today. But a spokesman said "We will be back." At New Orleans, the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Ap- peals ordered the Dallas, Texas, school board to submit a plan to desegregate its public schools within 51 days. City Court at Montgomery, Ala., convicted 32 Negro college stu- dents, a former classmate and a faculty member of charges grow- ing out of an anti-segregation demonstration Tuesday. Stood By A heavy police guard stood by to prevent any demonstrations at city hall while the trial was in progress. The 32 students at Alabama State College at Montgomery were convicted of disorderly conduct and refusal to obey an officer. So was the former student tried with therm. Judge Eugene Loe delayed sen- tencing. Those convicted could re- ceive six months in Jail and a $100 fine on each of thetwo counts. The faculty member was convicted of disorderly conduct and her husband of disobeying an officer at the jail when he tration Acts tried to see his wife after her ar- rest. Represents Defendants Negro attorney Fred Gray of Montgomery, who represented the defendants, told the court the student body at Alabama State had agreed to return to class and stop the racial demonstrations. Trial of five Negro students at predominantly Negro Philander Smith College at Little Rock, Ark., was set for next Thursday. The students were arrested Thursday aftern they refused to leave a va- riety store lunch counter during a demonstration by about 45 classmates, police reported. At Tampa, Fla.. Leon Bellamy, . 19-year-old Negro, was sen- tenced to 80 days in jail for im- proper advances toward a white girl. He was given a choice of paying a $600 fine or serving an additional 100 days. He also was sentenced to a $100 fine or 50 days in jail on a charge of disorderly, proceedings.
