Civic Group Sets Dramatic Season Formerly Under 'U' Sponsorship, Festival Will Offer Popular Plays The annual Drama Season, this year celebrating its 25th anni- versary, will present five plays at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre this spring. The Season, which for the past several years has been under Uni- versity sponsorship, will be presented this year as a civic enterprise under the auspices of Ted Heusel and John Kokales, both known in Ann Arbor for their work in stage activities. To Announce Productions Soon The festival, emphasizing "popular theatre with a series of five American plays of wide contemporary interest and appeal," will be Seasonwein Backs Stand On Picketing ' Roger Seasonwein, '61, defended his compromise motion on SGC picketing support in an impromptu' Hyde Park debate from the Diag benches yesterday afternoon. A vociferous crowd joined Sea- sonwein's official opponent, Wil- bert Gurley, '60, in questioning the liberality of Seasonwein's stand, which asked that chain store nationals be requested to band together and take a stand against discrimination in the southern branches. According to the present mo- tion, if the stores do not take such a stand within two weeks, SGC will support chain store picketing. "Failing to do this these stores can no longer be con- sidered as 'victims' of 'Southern kustom' but, rather, as molders of it. Then, any and all of their outlets should be picketed, Sea- sonwein said. Gurley and compatriots pointed out that the NAACP had already ascertained that the national offi- ces of the chain stores could and should do something under pres- sure from Northern branches. Fast approaching exams would curtain picketing activities and the two-week delay will greatly hin- der the effectiveness of the eco- nomic boycott, motion opponents pointed out. Seasonwein answered by reiterating his protection of the innocent until proven guilty stand. Al Haber, '60, then stressed that all but one national office had not answered previous letters from the Council and that store had taken refuge in the excuse that South- ern branches were "guests in the community and thus should abide by the customs." held from May 10 to June 11.

Flemming against "di- ploma mills" has raised some eye- brows at the Federal Trade Com- mission. FTC officials were surprised by Fleming's statement at a Monday news conference that he was call- ing on the Commission and other interested agencies to "re-exam- ine whatever federal powers are available to cope with the evils inherent in the degree mill opera- tions." The FTC has been policing du- bious purveyors of "education" for more than 25 years. Aide Tells Red Plan For Cuba CHICAGO (A'-- Cuba's former military attache to Mexico has ac- cused Premier Fidel Castro's gov- ernment of conspiring with inter- national Communism to overthrow Latin American governments, a Chicago newspaper said last night. The charge came in a copy- righted story from Capt. Manuel Villafana, who defected early this week and flew into exile in Miami. Quoted Accusations The dispatch from Miami, Fla., quoted these accusations by Villa- fana: 1) Money from Cuba's dollar ex- change is being paid through Cuban embassies in Latin America to finance Communist activities designed to topple all constitu- tional governments and bring them under Russian influence. 2) Russians and Czechs have been provided false passports by the Cuban embassy in Mexico, identifying them as Cubans and enabling them to travel unhin- dered through Latin America. Held Secret Talks 3) Secret conferences have been held between Cuban officials and functionaries of the Russian em- bassy in Mexico. 4) Newly created consular at- tache posts have been filled with Cuban intelligence agents who have more power than Cuban am- bassadors and act as paymasters for Communist activities. 5) Panama is high on the list of targets for subversion, with operations directed through the Cuban embassy. Gave Men, Money 8) Maj. Ernesto Guevara, Argen- tine born president of the Banco Nacional of Cuba, sent men, mon- ey and letters of introduction to Communists in Guatemala through diplomatic channels to provoke disorders and break down the gov- ernment of President Miguel Ydi- goras Fuentes. Villafana is quoted as saying: "I have irrefutable proof of the col- laboration of Castro and his men with Communism, such as the movement of Russian and Czecho- slovac citizens through the em- bassy of Cuba in Mexico where they were provided with false pass- ports in order to travel to Cuba and other Latin American coun- tries in their militant activities." Villafana, former military and air attache to Mexico, was brand- ed a traitor by the Castro govern- ment after his defection and sub- sequent denouncement of Cuban political affairs. (Though Castro himself is not generally associated with the com- munists, his brother, Raul, now chief of the armed forces, is usually linked with leftists, even though he denies being a commu- nist himself.) Legislature Speed Time As Quitting Draws Near Lamaer if maeng iisagree Over Money Democrats Stand Firm; Turn Down GOP Appropriations LANSING .W)-Michigan legis- lators, hurrying to wind up their 1960 session, struggled foragree- ment last night on spending for state colleges and universities and pay raises for themselves. Squabbles over these and other major appropriation bills forced them into a special night session. Lawmakers were scheduled to go home yesterday and return May 13 for a brief mopping-up opera- tion and final adjournment. WSU Center of Hassle Hassling over the high education budget centered over a million- dollar bonus appropriation the House earmarked for Wayne State University. Economy-minded sen- ators knocked it out, setting the stage for inter-chamber dispute. House Democrats, most of them from the Detroit area, turned down an informal offer from Sen- ate Republican leaders to give Wayne $400,000. They set $500,000 as the minimum. Democrats Firm Democrats also stood firm for most of the $129,000 added by the House to appropriations for Mich- igan Tech, $95,000 for Northern Michigan College and $200,000 for adult education programs. Senate-House conferees agreed on a $1,000 pay raise for the 144 legislators and a $250 boost in the $1,000 yearly expense allowance. Some House Democrats, how- ever, said they would fight ac- ceptance of the compromise offer, midway between the $2,500 pro- posed by the House and the $24 recommended by the Senate. Lawmakers now earn $4,000 a year. To Settle Other Bills Also to be settled is a 19-million- dollar bill for construction at state institutions. Sen.Frank D. Beadle (R-St. Clair) said committee compro- misers had agreed to wipe out a $175,000 allocation for a new wom- en's prison camp near Brighton, cut proposed appropriations for sanitary facilities in state parks from $400,000 to $300,000 and re- duce by half a $30,000 allocation for sanitary facilities at Coldwater State Home and Training School. A $24,300,000 appropriation for general government operations al- so waited final settlement. Agreement on reflectorized li- cense tags and drunkometer tests and other non-spending bills may be put off until final adjournment next month, said Rep. Allison Green (R-Kingston), House GOP floor leader.
