The featured speaker at the banquet was Morris Milgram, the builder responsible for the interracial housing development in Princeton, NJ. The conference will close with another banquet this noon. Builder Calls for Social Acion By ANITA PETROSHUS Morris Milgram, a builder "who would rather be a ditch - digger than build for white people only," spoke on the subject of his Prince- ton, N.J. interracial housing de- velopment last night at a banquet of the Conference for Human Rights In the North. The Princeton development started when the town's three Presbyterian churches, one of them Negro, merged their congre- gations for the summer so each minister would have to work for only three weeks, Milgram related. Under this arrangement some people "just had to like being buried, or married, by a Negro DISTRIBUTE LEAFLETS: Denionstrators Picket Four Shops Despite Rain By KENNETH McELDOWNEY Four local stores were picketed yesterday by almost 80 anti-dis- crimiriation demonstrators. John Leggett, Grad., the spokesman for the group, said that the Human Rights Conference, rather than the driving rain, kept the members down. "The rain only hurt us a little, with wet people and placards. We'll continue through rain and snow." The participation, despite the rain, shows the militant attitude of the people, he asserted. "We started only picketing the Cousins Shop at and the F. W. Woolworth Co. local branch. Later as more people joined, we also . -picketed the two branches of S. S. } Kresge Co." Picketing was from s Attend 1 to 5 p.m. For the second straight Satur- day leaflets were handed out with- tat"TaIksout interference from the Ann SkArbor police.

White Presbyterians also dis- covered that no decent housing was available for Negro Presby- terians, he continued, and so they banded together to organize two new communities, which he built. Seventy-five per cent of the homes were sold to whites, and 25 per cent to Negroes, and the town has invited him to build more. "This is an impressive gather- ing," he said. "But the work of this conference is lost-all the talk meaningless - unless it is trans-1 lated into social action and utilized in college papers and bull sessions. "Don't be afraid to dream a little bit," Milgram said. "Or- ganized student groups have power in their hands to change the world," he said. "Present your" ideas thoughtfully and carefully enough - and drop the word 'im- possible' from your vocabulary, and maybe someone will take you seriously. "Building integrated housing is not easy," Milgram said, giving Deerfield, Ill. as a case in point. When the residents discovered that to insure that the develop-! ment he planned would be inte- grated, only a certain percentage of Negroes and white would be allowed to buy, they protested. The hypocrisy of it,, he ex- plained, was that they protested on the grounds that Negro rights were being violated since all Ne- groes who wished to buy a home would not be allowed to. Schedule The Conference for Human Rights in the North will con- clude today with a banquet at 12:30 p.m.. in the Union. Following the banquet James Farmer, program director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will speak. In addition, the Conference will vote on work- group and delegation recom- mendations and select an Inter- college committee to coordinate future activity. To Debate Bias Rule In Council By PHILIP SHERMAN Student Government Council will today prepare the motion on non-discrimination in student or- ganizations for final consideration Wednesday. Also scheduled for the special meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Coun- cil Room of the Student Activities Building is debate on a new move to send a letter supporting Prof. Leo Koch of the University of Illinois. The Council will work on the non-discrimination motion by act- ing on all amendments presently in the docket for consideration. The first amendment to the motion is a move to change the general regulation, which now reads "No recognized student or- ganization may prohibit or other- wise restrict membership nor membership activities on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, na- tional origin or ancestry." Propose Changes The proposed alternate reads: "All recognized student organiza- tions shall select membership and afford opportunities to members on the basis of personal merit and not race, color, religion, creed, national origin, or ancestry." The second amendment would change the composition of the committee to be set up to admin- ister the regulation under Council auspices. Under the proposal, four of the seven members of the proposed group would be students, with the other three to come from the faculty and administration. The present plan specifies three stu- dents, two faculty members and two administrators. Another motion would grant specific exemptions to nationality groups and religious organizations. Several other procedural mo- tions will be offered. Membership Committee If passed, the motion would set up the committee on Membership in Student Organizations, which would expedite the regulation. Among the committee's functions would be: formulating policies to further the regulation and making recommendations to the Council on them; hearing cases involving violations and recommending dis- ciplinary action to the Council; and developing educational pro- grams. The committee, as proposed, must report to the Council at least once every semester. Its proceedings are to be confi- dential, except when the Council requires a report, or one of the groups working with it request they be made public. The committee must make pub- lic its standard operating pro- cedures by next Oct. 15. The pro- cedures are subject to Council approval. Roger.Seasonwein, '61, will offer the motion to support Prof. Koch. He will emphasize Prof. Koch's right, as an individual, to make the assertions which caused his suspension. Debate on the later motion is set for the first hour of the Coun- cil's meeting, after which the non- discrimination amendments will be aired. --AP Wirephoto SCORES MEDLEY RELAY WIN-Michigan's Ergas Leps strains to break the tape in the distance medley yesterday and records a win for the Wolverine team in the Penn Relays. The final time for the winning team at Philadelphia's Franklin Fieldwas nine minutes, 56.8 seconds. 'M' Relay Teams PlaceHigh at Penn Special to The Daily PHILADELPHIA - Two wins, three seconds, a fourth and a fifth-that's the excellent total compiled by the Michigan track team at the Penn Relays during the last two days. Following a great starting effort on Friday afternoon, the team could only hold the winning pace for one event yesterday before yielding to a great crew of sprint- ers from San Jose State. Once again exhibiting his come- from-behind tactics, Ergas Leps passed Georgetown's Bob Vinton in the last 50 yards to bring Mich- igan's baton home first in the four mile relay. He must have broken Vinton's spirit, as this was the second race which Vinton had all but won only to see Leps overtake him in the last few strides. Friday Severs Ties irth-Trujilo BOGOTA, Colombia (P) - Co- lombia yesterday broke off diplo- matic relations with the Domini- .can Republic. A foreign ministry communique announcing the break accused Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo's Dominican government of inter- fering in Clombia's internal af- f airs. The Colombian ambassador in Ciudad Trujillo, Gen Julio Lon- dono, has been recalled and has returned to Bogota. The communique charged the Dominican Republic granted visas to Venezuelan military exiles to enter Colombia, whence they launched an invasion of Venezuela last week. is was in the distance medley event. Martin Catches Up Jim Wyman and Fred Montour stayed just a little off the pace yesterday, but Dave Martin made up the difference quite handily on the third mile leg. Leps thus inherited only a yard deficit be- hind NYU's Hank Levin. Keeping in mind that he still had two half-miles to run, he was content to take it easy and justpulled out the win in the final stretch. Georgetown was followed by NYU and Cornell -- all behind Michigan's 17:23.3 winning time. In an effort to help Michigan repeat its 1945 record of four wins in this meet, the 440 yard team came up to the starting line as the next major entry. So ... Close This event was so close that it had the crowd entranced as the last men took the baton. Bennie McRae, Jeff Engel and Dick Cep- has had run in that order and because the race was run from a staggered start, it was hard to tell whether they had lost any yardage to the fleet San Jose State team or not. As Tom. Robinson and Willie Williams came out of the fourth turn, it appeared the Big Ten sprint champion had a slight dis- advantage. Coming down the straightaway Robinson managed to regain most of the difference, but Williams beat him to the tape by about the width of that strand of yarn (see picture). The finish was so close that both teams were credited with the same time-- .41. This is a new varsity record as it surpasses the :41.6 which they equaled yester- day. Revenge Attempt McRae, Cephas and Robinson were joined by Len Cercone in an att pt to get revenge from San Jose State in the 880, race, but here again weren't quite equal to their task. McRae got a bad start and Cercone took the baton in fifth place at the end of the first furlong. San Jose, Villanova and North Carolina College were ahead of him when Cephas took over for the third leg. He managed to gain several yards and was a close fourth as he passed to Robinson. Despite a great bid, however, the British Empire Games 220 champ- See FOUR, Page 6 Begin NATO Conference A midst Student Riotrngs Attack hPolicy Of Premier Make Mass Arrests; Send Demonstrators To Detention Camps ISTANBUL,. Turkey (A-West- ern foreign ministers flew into Is- tanbul last night for a NATO con- ference and ran head on into a Turkish crisis sparked by student protests against Premier Adnan Menderes' government. About 100 students attempted to stage a demonstration at the Istanbul Hilton Hotel just as Sec- retary of State Christian A. Her- ter and British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd arrived there. In- fantry troops standing guard around the hotel moved in quickly and dispersed the youths. Mass arrests have been carried out by troops and police and about 3,000 students and youths were carted off at bayonet point to de- tention camps yesterday at Tur- key's government sought to cope with the student ufrest. Impose Curfew In another strong move, the government last night ordered a 24-hour curfew beginning at 4 a.m. today and ending at 4 a.m. tomorrow. Night curfew restric- tions already had been imposed. Exempted from the 24-hour order were the diplomats in Is- tanbul for the NATO meeting. The official casualty total in outbreaks in Istanbul and Ankara since Thursday has been given by the ministry of Interior as one dead and about 15 injured. Un- official counts have put the dead at six and the injured at more than 100. Students Roam Demonstrations against the authority of Menderes jangled the city again during the day. Bands of students roamed the city, waving national flags and chant- ing slogans of "Freedom" and "Menderes Resign." Pointedly no western leader has had a word to say about the re- peated disturbances by students, which flared Thursday into fight- ing and shooting. NATO officials were saying privately the troubles will be regarded by the alliance as an internal affair for Turkey. But Turkey's allies clearly were embarrassed. Herter and Lloyd both said they were glad to be in Turkey ad looked forward to the conference, which opens tomorrow in a new- still incomplete municipal build- ing. Herter praised this nation on. the fringe of the free world for its "valiant role in defense of the rich traditions which have shaped our civilization." Referring to the summit meet- ing later this month, Herter said the allies go into the talks "with a sense of realism born of experi- ence . . . we-hope for progress but hold no illusions." Prohibitionists Stage Lansing Political Rally LANSING ()-"We'd win easily If we could get all those people who are opposed to the sale of liquor," the Prohibition Party candidate for President said yes- terday. But R. L. Decker, minister of the Temple Baptist Church of Kansas City, said he had no illus- ions about winning the nation's top post this year. "However," he added, "in 1968 I am convinced we will be in a position to seriously challenge the two major parties." Decker spoke to 170 delegates at the party's state convention. His running mate is Prof. E. H. Munn of Michigan's Hillsdale Col- lege. In a switch from the usual po- a , ity to pay. The current Ann Arbor Confer- ence on Discrimination in the North was supported by a tele- gram which expressed the con- vention's wish for a successful conference. Push Civil Rights The civil rights resolution was divided into five categories: voting rights, integrated housing, equal employment opportunities, inte- grated schools and integration in public places. Other resolutions called for a liberal foreign policy based on economic aid, federal control of advertising, support of the Forand Bill for old age benefits and a plan for retraining workers re- placed by automation. Ronald Pivnick, a member of the University delegation to the convention, was elected Michigan Young Democrats' national com- mitteeman. Chairmanship of the group went to Jackie Vaughn from Detroit.

Leo Arthur Hoegh, former governor of Iowa and the director of the Office of Civil Defense Mobilization, addressed this remark to the 340 delegates present at the Young Republicans State Convention held in Jackson yesterday. "We are fortunate to have a President and a Republican administration who believe your tax dollar must be wisely spent," Hoegh declared. "I am proud of our record in fighting inflation. "The balanced budget has been a y saccomplshed withoutjeopardizing either our position in foreign: af- fairs or the status of our domestic economy. "President Dwight D. Eisen- hower, because of his tremendous military knowledge and experi- ence," has also been able to guide the development of "the most powerful military force in the his- tory of the nation-superior to that of any other nation. "Both our standard of living and employment are now at an all-time high. "It would have tremendous im- pact on the people," Hoegh said, "if they could see, as I have, how thoroughly Nixon understands the problems, be they domestic or world-wide." Although Paul Bagwell and State Senator Carlton Morris, the two contenders for the Republican nomination for the governorship of Michigan, were equally em- } nhatic in their support of Nixon, Little Blue Boo outshone the Southern Belle family last night and captured the Frosh Weekend crown for the Blue Team-beating Maize for the first time in seven years. The choice was made public at the joint Maize-Blue dance held last night in the League ballroom. Since 1948 when Frosh Weekend was organized into a competitive event between two teams, the Maize and the Blue, there have been separate dances for each group. This year, to deemphasize the competitive aspects of the weekend, and to reduce the amount of time spent in preparation, not only were the dances combined into one, but the freshman women were given less time to work. Judge Teams' Themes The three judges of the Frosh event, Prof. William Haber of the economics department, Assistant Dean of Women Elsie Fuller and Thomas Turner, '60, Daily editor made their decision on the basis of how well each team's theme was carried out and on the originality and appropriateness of the decorations, floor-show, tickets, programs,, publicity and patrons' invitations and on team finances. The Blue Team theme dealt with the diplomatic adventures of Little Blue Boo as he petitioned to make his land of Abluevia the fifty-first state.
