Nuisance Tax Bill
LANSING (A}-Bipartisan talks.
attempting to solve the state's
cash crisis ended in angry words
yesterday as the Legislature went
home for the weekend without
posed tax bills.
taking any further action on pro-
Republicans adjourned the Sen-
ate, which was standing by to re-
ceive a package of so-called nui-
sance bills, because Democrats re-
fused to join in sponsoring the
measures.
Republicans charged Democrats
were failing on a promise of mu-
tual responsibility. Democrats re-
plied they would not block the
taxes and declared GOP members
had the votes to go ahead on their
own if they wanted.
No Date Set
No date was set for a resump-
tion of meetings of the 16-mem-
ber bipartisan tax compromise
committee.
"I don't know where we go from
here," Se. Frank D. Beadle (R-
St. Clair), Republican majority
leader, said.
In dispute were five bills pro-
posed as an adito to the col-
lection of money-raising nuisance
taxes. They included measures to
raise revenue from a liquor excise
tax and taxes on petroleum prod-
ucts, tobacco products, coin ma-
chines and soft drinks.
Few Members
Only 11 members answered the
roll call in the House. But 18 Sen-
ators stood by to receive bills for
the emergency tax program. En-
rollment of the bills yesterday
would have made Senate action
on them possible late next week.
"The opposing party refuses to
have any part of these bills,"
Beadle said. "We won't get any-
where until they recognize this is
a mutual problem."
Sen. Harold M. Ryan (D-De-
troit), Democratic spokesman, ob-
jected that about half the some
37 bills in the Senate Taxation
Committee were introduced by his
party.
Won't Block
"These bills were not disclosed
to us until this afternoon," Ryan
said. "Whether or not we sign
these bills shouldn't deter you. We
won't block them and you have
the votes to push them along."
This was an extension of an
early debate in the bipartisan
committee.
"By signing these bills, Demo-
crats would demonstrate they ac-
cept mutual responsibility for the
tax program," Sen. Carlton H.
Morris (R-Kalamazoo) said. "It
* doesn't mean you have to like
them. I know I don't."
"Blank Check"
"You just want us to give you
a blank check," countered Sen.
Basil W. Brown (R-Detroit). "You
have the votes to put these in but
we don't want you to put the
blame on us."
Gov. G. Mennen Williams told
newsmen later he was "extremely
" disappointed that, after a week of
discussions Senate Republicans,
have shown themselves unwilling
to get together."
"They are still playing politics
with the state's cash crisis, try-
ng to get Democratic names on
nuisance tax bills which they have
been unable to sell to their own
caucus," he said.
Have Program
"The Democrats have a pro-
gram. They are ready to stand
with it and share responsibility

UN Group Finds No Invasion in Laos
UNITED NATIONS (=) - A
United Nations fact-finding group
reported yesterday it failed to un-
cover proof of charges by Laos
that it had been invaded by Com-
munist troops from North Viet'

But thei four-nation subcom-

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
...tells of visit
India Lauds
Visit byIke
NEW DELHI M) - Indians
joined yesterday in welcoming
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
plan for a five-day visit next
month to India, Communist-
badgered leader of the Asian neu-
tral bloc.
It will be the turning point "in
forging closer bonds between the
world's two biggest democracies,"
the Indian Express declared.
The British-owned 'Statesman'
expressed hope that Eisenhower's
visit will impart "a little more
realism and restraint" to Red
China's campaign to absorb In-
dian border territory.
P r es i d e n t Rejendra Prasad
cabled Eisenhower that the Indian
people will receive him with af-
fection..
Eisenhower's decision to open
the American exhibit at the World
Agricultural Fair here Dec. 11
was hailed by agriculture minister
Punjabrao Deshmukh as "the big-
gest news we could ever have had.'
Asian kingdom had r e c e i e d
equipment, arms, supplies and the
help of political advisers from the
Communist regime across the
northern border.
The long-awaited 32-page re-I
port to the 11-nation Council had
these immediate repercussions:
1) A United Nations spokesman
said Secretary General Dag Ham-
marskjold was considering mak-
ing a visit to Laos, but it would,
have no connection with the re-
port to the Council.
Hail Report
2) A spokesman for the United
States delegation hailed the re-
port as one that would "enable
the Security Council to better un-
derstand the danger that con-
fronts Laos." He said the United
States was considering what addi-
tional steps might be takenin,
the United Nations "to further
help the Laotian people maintain
their freedom and independence."
3) The Soviet delegation de-
clared the report caused the col-
lapse, "like a card-castle, of the
entire heap of absurd charges ad-
vanced by the Laotian government
and by those who are pursuing it
to hamstring the peaceful settle-
ment" of the Asian kingdom's
problems.
4) Members of the Laotian dele-
gation said they had no comment
on the report, but asserted the
question of foreign intervention
in Laos' domestic affairs had been
amply demonstrated in previous
declarations of Laotian officials.
Consultations Next
5) Ambassador Jorge Illueca of
Panama, President of the Secur-
ity Council, said consultations
were taking place among Council
members on the next step.

eign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov
told reporters his country took a

negative view of a visit to Laos, by
Hammarskjold. Kuznetsov stressed
that any Laotian settlement should
be based on the 1954 Geneva
Agreement setting up an inter-
national control commission for
Laos.
The United Nations spokesman
took special pains to deny sugges-
tions that a Hammarskjold trip
to Laos would be undertaken at
the request of any other party ex-
cept the Laotian government.
The spokesman said Hammar-
skjold would make the visit "in
his capacity and within his re-
sponsibilities as Secretary Gen-
eral and at the invitation of the
government of Laos."
He recalled that Hammarskjold
was consulting. with the Laotians
on their troubles long before they
asked the Security Council last
September to send an emergency
force to Laos.
The report submitted to the
Council by the representatives of
Argentina, Japan, Italy and Tu-
nisia said the warfare in Laos from
last July to Oct. 11 was of a guer-
rilla character, but appeared to
have a centralized coordination.

Illinois, intent on staying in the Big Ten title race, hosts Michi-
M gan's hopeful football team this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. (CST) before
wa slim crowd of 48,000 in Memorial Stadium.
The Illini, who have won seven of their last nine encounters with
Michigan, are rated one-touchdown favorites in this 45th Illinois-
Michigan meeting. The Wolverines hold a 27-17 edge in the series,
which dates from 1898.
Michigan has always had plenty of trouble winning in the Illini's
**xYE71,119-seat stadium, and on the last four visits have seen hopes
for Conference titles dashed by.

The literary college faculty ha
endorsed a two-year trial progran
aimed at better selection of fresh
men.
The plan, to start on an experi
mental basis in June 1961, will re
quire all applicants for admissioi
to take an aptitude test, profici
ency exams in English and mathe
matics, and one other subject

If the plan is permanentl
adopted by the faculty in 1963
