FranCE PARIS P) - Flags in the city, deep in its November grayness, came to half- staff, as the newspapers announced yes- terday in three-inch banners, "De Gaul- le Est Morte." Former French President Charles de Gaulle died in his home Monday night of 4 a circulatory disorder, just 13 days short of his 80th birthday. l In accordance with his handwritten or- der that his funeral take place "without the slightest public ceremony . .. with- out bands, fanfare or bugles," De Gaulle will be buried tomorrow in the cramped churchyard in Colombey-les-deux-Eglises, the small village where he died. About 80 world leaders, including Pres- ident Nixon and Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, will at that time attend a me- morial service in Paris' Notre Dame Ca- thedral. The people of France, who had rebuf- fed De Gaulle in a constitutional refer- mourns Be endum t h a t led to his resignation as president 18 months ago, learned of his death about 12 hours after it occurred. The delay was at the request of his fam- 11y. De Gaulle died, according to his son- in-law, Gen. Alain de Boissieu, "as he wished; upright, his work in front of him." His family reported his last day See Editorial Page for related story was a normal one, going through mail and writing. He had begun a g a m e of solitaire around 7 p.m., waiting for t h e evening news on television. The Rev. Claude Jau- gey, the village priest, related later that Mrs. de Gaulle said her husband put both hands below his waist and cried out, "Oh, how it hurts." Death was ascribed to an aneurysm, a dilated blood vessel. W h e n the priest arrived De Gaulle seemed unconscious and "was suffering terribly." Father Jaugey performed the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church and De Gaulle died soon after. De Gaulle had attended Mass, as us- ual, the day before. "He seemed normal," the priest said. "There were no signs of fatigue or apparent illness." Frenchmen in large part remember De Gaulle as the guardian of their honor through the ignominity of Nazi defeat, and later as the restorer of national pres- tige in 10 years as president. They took the news without mass scenes of grief. President Georges Pompidou, his suc- cessor, observed: "France is widowed." "France today lost part of its soul," a Gaullist party deputy exclaimed, and an- other told the National Assembly: "Mon- sieurs, father is dead." Gaulle French shops, theatres, movie houses, schools and all government offices will be closed tomorrow, the first day of an official 30-day mourning period. The request for the simple funeral that contrasted so sharply with his vision of the nation's greatness, was set down in 1952. One copy was left in trust with President Pompidou. "I do not wish a national funeral," De Gaulle wrote, "No president, no ministers, no parliamentary committees, no repre- sentatives of government organisms." But the service tomorrow in N o t r e Dame, the church of French kings, will bring together one of the greatest gath- erings of chiefs of state and government in recent years. The U.S. secretary of state, William P. Rogers, will accompany Nixon to the See RITES, Page 8 -Associated Press Parisians learn of De Gaulle's death CHARLES DE GAULLE: LAST OF THE GIANTS See Editorial Page Y Llit ian :4 iii CRUDDY High-47 Low-35 Cloudy and windy; chance of snowshowers at night Vol. LXXXI, No. 60 Ann Arbor, Michigan -Wednesday, November 11, 1970 Ten Cents Eight Pages t -Daily-Jim Wallace DR.

Doctor speaks on new rugs to help addicts By EUGENE ROBINSON A new class of drugs may ease the narcotics problem for heroin and morphine addicts, according to Dr. Henry W-. Elliott. Elliott was one of a number of speakers to discuss nar- cotics and sedative-hypnotic drugs at yesterday's session of the International Symposium for Physicians on Drug Abuse, in its second day at the University. Elliott, of the University of California Irvine College of Medicine, spoke about "antagonists," now being used to Knauss£4 replies to Fleming 3C By GERI SPRUNG Vice President for Student Services Robert Knauss said ! last night that he has replied to last week's letter from Pres- ident Robben Fleming. Flem- ing had written that the re- cruiting policy previously set by the Office of Student Serv- ices policy board would have to be approved by the Regents. There was some confusion at the policy board meeting last night about the actual content of Knauss' report. His response will be released today. However, Knauss said he had told Fleming he "understands that the Regents may want to review, the policy." Knauss said he hopes that if there arei any objections, either' from the Regents or any other group on campus, that "they would initially be broughtback to the policy board" before bringing , them up with any other board.} The policy board enacted the policy in question last month. It bans any company which practices legal discrimination, such as in South Africa, from using the serv-r ices of the OSS Placement Office. A second motion was also pass- ed then which would make it man- datory for any corporation to at- tend a forum if it is requested to do so by one per cent of the stu- dent body.

IHEW awaits By SARA FITZGERALD The Department of Health, Education and Welfare will announce within the next few days whether the University's plan for the promotion of equal employment opportunities for women meets HEW standards. Six University officials met with HEW representatives in Chicago yesterday to discuss the affirmative action plan submitted by the University. The HEW Chicago regional office, in a letter dated Oct. 6, gave the University 30 days to submit a program which would correct alleged inequities in hiring practices of women by the University. The 30 day period ended last Friday. Vice President for State Relations and Planning Fedele Fauri said yesterday the meet- ing in Chicago provided HEW and the University with a dean "chance for a meeting of the minds."

Earlier yesterday one highly, placed source, who had maintain- ed there was a 50-50 chance of getting a new contract late 1 a s t night or today, said the chances had increased to 70-30. Another source said a 17-hour negotiating session which began at 9 a.m. Monday had produced See GM, Page 8 -suppress an addict's desire for I heroin or morphine. Antagonists are taken in the place of the narcotics, said Elliott, and effectively control the desire for a "fix." Thus addicts can be weaned away from dangerous drugs without experiencing pain- ful withdrawal symptoms. Elliott said that as long as the addict receives a daily dose of an antagonist, he will feel no need for other drugs. However, if the dosage is reduced or cut off the patient will once again revert to hard narcotics. The major advantage, Elliott' explained, is that the addict does not have to commit crimes to re- ceive his daily supply of drugs; he can lead a productive and prac- tically normal life. Elliott emphasized that the an- tagonists had no harmful side- effects whatsoever. There are drawbacks, however, to wide-scale use of the drugs.

He said that HEW would ex- amine the University's plan and report back to the University con- cerning its acceptability. Fauri and the other University representatives would d i s c 1 o s e neither the details of the meeting nor the University's proposed plan, since no final settlement has been reached. Barbara Newell, special assist- ant to President Robben Fleming and a member of the team, said, "As HEW and the University are in the process of developing an affirmative action plan, it would not be appropriate to release de- tails of the plan at this time." In addition to Newell and Fauri, the negotiating team included Charles M. Allmand, assistant to the vice president for academic affairs, William L. Cash Jr., as- sistant to Fleming for human re- lations affairs, Edward C. Hayes, manager of compensation plans and personnel information sys- tems and William P. Lemmer, University attorney. As a result of HEW action, a See 'U,' Page 8 THREE PER CENT SLASH "lO V .11.U. 0 '71-72 budget cuts concern deans The picketing, between noon and 1 p.m., was non-violent and without incident. Twenty - five students and non-students march- ed in a circle around the build- ing's main entrance, carrying signs that proclaimed, "Phone tax is a war tax" and "Don't pay a tax for war." The protest was not directed at the phone company, picketers stressed, but at the U.S. govern- ment. Liz Taylor, an organizer of Ann Arbor War Tax Counseling em- phasized that withholding the "war tax" is a "truly constructive method" of fighting the war. "This is really an action that challenges the authority of the federal government,"~ she said. "It's simply saying 'I don't want my money to be used to kill.' " Taylor said the protest was de- signed to "get the word out on the kind of action an individual can engage in effectively, since it's clear that mass marches and demonstrations are not suffi- cient." Taylor is one of three people re- sponsible for the activities of the local group affiliated with Nation- al War Tax Resistance based in New York. Most of the picketers were not "active" in the organization, Tay- lor said, adding t h a t member- ship isn't "nearly as important as taking action against the war on an individual basis." "Every penny of t h e Federal tax on your telephone bill goes to pay for the Vietnam war. We ob- ject to the use of our money for' illegal purpose," the organizers of the protest stated. Congress passed a law raising the Federal tax on telephone ser- vice to 10 per cent in 1966. "It is clear that Vietnam and only the Vietnam operation makes this bill necessary," Rep. William Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee said at the time. demands By HANNAH MORRISON Acting Social Work Dean Rob- ert Vinter has accepted student demands for curriculum changes while rejecting proposals concern- ing the determination of school policy. In a statement issued Monday, Vinter responded to an unsched- uled Nov. 4 confrontation between administrators and students when Concerned Students for Curricu- lum Change (CSCC) presented a list of four proposals recommend- ing revisions in curriculum and decision-making policy. Two hun- dred students participated in that meeting. CCSC met last night to generate alternatives to Vinter's proposals. Their alternative will be presented for approval today at a noon meeting of social work students. The original student proposals asked for student initiation in organizing courses, open enroll- ment in all of the school's courses for any social work student, the establishment of a joint student- faculty committee to determine faculty appointments, and a joint committee to implement curricu- lum reform. Vintersaid eight courses have been added to the existing winter semester program, including four of the seven courses suggested by CSCC. However, no immediate changes have been made in the other areas, he said. What they're asking isr beyond my power," Vinter said yesterday. "I'm trapped by cohmittee busi- ness and cannot fulfill all their demands in so little time." Asst. Dean Phillip Fellin added, "We must take into account the interests of the faculty as well as the students." He cited the open enrollment issue as a "complex problem," in that the school must "avoid classes that aeoA ainrgo r. on smal l. By HESTER PULLING Although University-wide b u d g e t cuts had been forseen by deans and directors of the schools and colleges, the budget reductions recently requested by the ad- ministration were still "painful and dis- tressing" to many in the academic com- munity. In a Nov. 5 memorandum, Allan Smith, vice president for academic affairs, request- ed that deans and directors prepare tenta- tive cuts in their departments' budgets. Athough the cuts will be equivalent to three per cent of this year's salary budget, the actual cuts can be made from any area in the department. The cuts will not take effect until 1971-72. "We will try to cut the least important courses from the students' point of view," Brandt added. Summing up the psychology department's approach, Chairman Wilbert McKeachie said, "essentially it will mean larger classes and fewer sections." Robert Vinter, acting dean of the social work school, says that in addition to budget cuts from the University, the social work school faces a 12 per cent reduction in federal training funds. Adding that a planning group in the school is already working on finding appro- priate areas for budget cuts, Vinter said, "We are not just concerned with efficiency, but also quality. Hopefully we'll find the evaluations of students will suffer, he add- ed, if class sizes increase. "Since we are experimentative and inno- vative, we offer new courses, programs and majors which all require additional funding and staff," Robertson explained. "Budget cuts really inhibit our approach in explor- ing and developing new areas." Gerhard Weinberg, chairman of the Sen- ate Advisory Committee on University Af- fairs (SACUA)-the top faculty body-cri- ticized the administration's method for at- taining budget reductions. "A flat, across the board percentage figure is not a very satisfactory approach to University budgetary processes," Wein- berg said. "It introduces rigidity and allows njw WIN Nuffiff .: " --- :: ,:
