See EFFECTS, Page 7 Khrushchev dies of heart 'ttack at 77 MOSCOW (/P) - Nikita S. Khrushchev, who vaulted from Russian peasantry to be- come one of the most powerful men in the world, died yesterday seven years after his Kremlin colleagues banished him to ob-. scurity. The former premier and chief of the Communist party succumbed to a heart attack. He was 77. Friends said he died about noon after spending several days in a hospital used by Kremlin officials. Burial is expected to take place tomorrow at the Novodyevichy Ceme- tery in Moscow, the burial spot for many prominent Russians who do not receive the ultimate accolade of Soviet communism- a state funeral and interment in the Kremlin wall. There will be little official mourning for the man who pushed his country into the space age and who in 12 years as the Rus- sians' top leader, 1953-64, sought to re- verse the terrorism of Joseph Stalin and to give to the people a better livelihood. In the Russian tradition, people in re- mote areas of the world got the news long before the people of Moscow could learn of it. Hours after Krushchev died, there had been no official announcement through the news agency Tass on Moscow broadcasts. The news first came from friends of the family, and about two hours later it was confirmed to The Associated Press by a duty officer at the Foreign Ministry. He said: "I can only confirm privately the death has occurred." The former premier had suffered from heart trouble for several years. Khrushchev had lived in enforced seclu- sion in a comfortable country home outside Moscow since his fall from power in Octo- ber 1964. While he got every personal neces- sity from the current Kremlin leaders who ousted him, he was officially ignored and his activities were never reported by the Soviet press. He never appeared at state functions and was treated as though he had never ruled the Kremlin. His last public appear- ance was in June, when he voted in an elec- tion. Americans knew Khrushchev best for his whirlwind tour of their country in 1959, and then for the Cuban missile crisis, but many Russians knew him as the man who brought them hope for a better life. Senate to resume draft debate amid confusion on freeze FORMER SOVIET PREMIER NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV, who died yesterday at the age of 77, met with top world leaders during his tenure. In 1954. he met in Peking with Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung, (left), before the bitter split occured be- tween the Soviet and Chinese communists. In 1959, Khrushchev argued with then Vice-President of the U.S. Richard Nixon (above, right) during "The Kitchen Debate" at a tour of an American exhibition in Moscow. Khrushchev listened in 1964 (below, right) to Leonid Brezhnev as the Russians shuffled the hierarchy in the Scviet Parliament. Khrushchev was ousted months later, as Brezhnev replaced him. By SARA FITZGERALD The Senate will resume debate tomorrow on a controversial two-year draft extension bill-and discussion may continue into next month. This time around, the bill's passage is complicated by its provisions for military pay raises, designed to attract enough men to create a volunteer army by mid-1973. The pay hikes, totaling nearly $2 billion, were scheduled to take effect Oct. 1, but now might not because of President Nixon's wage-price freeze. Once the bill is passed and signed into law, between 20,000 and 25,000 men are likely to be drafted during the rest of the year. Pentagon officials say this quota can be reached without going higher than lot- tery number 140. But draft officials say that if the bill is not passed soon, they may have to use residual authority to draft some men pre- viously granted deferments. The bill would give the President the authority to abolish student deferments for freshmen entering this fall and afterwards --and Nixon has said he would use this authority. Men in school during the 1970- 1971 academic year would be able to hold their deferments until they turned 24 or graduated. Men drafted while in college would be able to finish out the term. Because of the freeze confusion, some senators want to return the bill to the House - Senate conference committee that hammered out the new compromise. They want to make the pay raises take effect after the freeze expires or delay approval until that time. . However. Washington legal experts say the new draft law would superscede the law that permitted Nixon to instigate the freeze. When the legislation was first introduced, debate centered on its end-the-war amend- ment, proposed by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. The amendment called for negotiations for an immediate cease-fire and set a nine- month deadline for withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Vietnam if U.S. prisoners of war were released. The proposal passed the Senate but was defeated in the House. The conference com- mittee removed the troop withdrawal dead- line and now the bill merely urges the President to negotiate a deadline. The compromise passed the House before the August congressional recess, but it faces an uphill battle in the Senate. While Mansfield says he will not fili- buster against the bill, other anti-war sen- ators, notably Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) have said they will filibuster the bill. Gov. Williams CITY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT Pioneer By JANET FREY Following three months of intensive plan- ning by students and teachers, Ann Arbor's Pioneer High School is preparing to open a fully accredited "free school". The school, christened "Pioneer Two," is intended as an experimental alternative to the normal school program. When it opens 'next month, it will accommodate 100 stu- dents, randomly chosen from volunteers from Pioneer. To increase its independence from the regular high- school, Pioneer Two [g plans free school will be housed in the Fritz Building, a for- mer elementary school at 995 N. Maple. The planners of this program emphasize that it is to be a "learning by doing" ex- periment, with the students themselves or- ganizing their courses of instruction, and taking on a larger share of responsibility for their individual progress. Grading will be pass-fail, and the struc- ture and context of various courses will be dtermined by the students themselves. Learning will be on the basis of contracts POLICY UNCHANGED Report due on classif ed research By MARK DILLEN Six months after a student-faculty protest on classified and military research at the University, that research continues with new funding and unchanged policies. A Sept. 27 meeting of Senate Assembly, the faculty repre- sentative body, is scheduled to take up the issue once again, when its Research Policies Committee suggesting revisions of the faculty's policy on the issue. Since April 1, Classified Research Committee (CRC), the 12- man student-faculty committee charged with overseeing and ap- proving requests for University classified research, has approved over $2.3 million of classified military projects for the University's research facilities at Willow Run Laboratories CRC was charged on March 22 with reviewing its procedure in which the student and a teacher agree on an outline of a course of study, and cooper- ate in assessing the student's progress, when he feels he has accomplished the specified goals. In addition to the 100 students and six or seven teachers from Pioneer, who will split their teaching time between the two schools, Pioneer Two hopes to draw a substantial number of volunteer teachers from the com- munity at large. According to Mrs. Robbin Franklin, head of the new program, students have already talked with a number of persons, includ- ing parents, University professors and stu- ddents, and skilled craftsmen, who have in- dicated their willingness to work in the pro- gram. It is hoped that the program will evolve into a "school without walls," where the students will consider the community itself as their learning environment. Attendance will be taken every morning, and students involved in projects outside the building will be expected to report in so that offic- ials will be aware of their daily activities. Although the' actual planning of Pioneer Two began only this past summer, a group of faculty members had been meeting all last winter ,to study ways of changing the educational system from within to improve the quality of education. In its first year of operation, Pioneer Two will be a test as to whether this kind of radi- Mississippi gov. enters busing furor By The Associated Press Mississippi Gov. John Bell Williams ordered an end to all state funding of the Jackson, Miss., public schools yesterday, de- scribing his action as a test case aimed at ending busing of state pupils to achieve integration. Williams said he issued an executive or- der to the state auditor's office to end distribution of money to the Jackson system until he received "satisfactory evidence .. . the district is in full compliance with state laws." He said he referred to a 1953 state law that says pupils who live within a mu- nicipality and are assigned to a school within the city are not eligible for trans- portation. Busing of pupils to achieve racial balance was included in a segregation plan for the current school year ordered last June by a U.S. District Court judge. In Pontiac, Mich., where 9,000 of the city's 24,000 public school pupils are being bused, U.S. marshals began investigating local police enforcement of court-ordered integration. On Friday U.S. District Court judge Da- mon J. Keith ordered an investigation of alleged failure of Pontiac police to halt the disruption of the 'busing he ordered to achieve racial balance in Pontiac's schools. Keith said that if the allegations are borne out, a large force of marshals will be sent to Pontiac to assure enforcement of the integration order.
