This program was instituted in 1947 fgollowing a General Assem- bly resolution and enables students from different countries to work In the Secretariat and attend lec- tures given by senior UN person- nel. The primary function of this program is to train the internes in UN activities and to make the organization better known abroad. Following their UN stay many of the internes take up careers inthe diplomatic, consular and foreign services of their countries. Others will go into journalism, law, public relations and similar fields. Selection Board A Selection Board consisting of senior UN officials choose the in- ternes from applicants who have first been screened by their respec- tive UN missions. Four categories of internes are selected: interna-. tional, or those who are selected through their missions and are paid by the UN; scholarship inter- nes, recommended by the universi- ties and paid by them: auditeurs libre, who audit the program and NGO internes who -are nominated by and represent non-government- al organizations. In addition to the regular sum- mer interne program, the UN con- ducts a program in the spring for civil servants of junior and inter- mediate standing and a one-year program, started last year, for Atomic Plant Not Hazard, Backers Say DETROIT (P) - Even if all safety devices failed, the contro- versial Nuclear Reactor Plant to be built near Monroe would not be a safety hazard, its backers Bald yesterday. Arthur S. Griswold, a spokes- man for the Power Reactor Devel- opment Co., said structural fea- tures in the building will rule out the spread of radioactivity. Griswold and Walker L. Cisler, president of Power Reactor and the Detroit Edison Co., outlined safety features to newsmen at a meeting yesterday. Cisler said technological know- ledge to come out of the world's first known plant to produce nu- clear energy commercially will be available to "friendly people ev- erywhere." He said the private combine al- ready has spent about eight mil- lion dollars in research an din de- veloping the plant site on an iso- lated 900-acre tract of marshland jutting out into Lake Erie. Groundbreaking ceremonies will be held today.I The Atomic Energy Commission approved a construction permit last Saturday, although critics claimed the atomic plant might be a grave hazard to public safety. students who alternate guide serv- Sice with their interneship duties.

This was disclosed yesterdav at a state traffic safety commission meeting by Secretary of State James M. Hare, Commission Chairman. Enforcement was weakened when the InghamuCounty Circuit Court ruled in June that Hare was exceeding his powers by deny- ing license renewals to motorists with "bad driving" records. Before the decision by circuit Judge Marvin Salmon, the state driver improvement division under Hare had been refusing new licen- ses on this ground at the rate of about 15,000 a year. Hare said the administrative burden of handling these cases on an individual hearing basis was beyond the capabilities of his office staff. This meant, he said, that persons with poor driving records were entitled to automatic renewal of licenses. At Hare's request, Senator John B. Swainson (D-Detroit) filed a bill last month in the special legis- lative session to remedy the en- forcement defect. Worded broadly it provided for denial of a new license by the: secretary of state when he had: cause to believe granting one would be "inimical to the public safety or welfare." Senator Cora Brown (D-Detroit) and several other solons registered opposition, and the bill was p-, geonholed in committee. Hare told the commission yes-. terday he will try a new approach when the legislature resturns Thursday. It will ask denial power when the secretary has good cause "based upon an applicant's traffic and accident violation record showing six or more moving viola- tion convictions or accidents with- in the previous 24 months." A second ground for denial of a license renewal, under the pro- posed language, would be one or more reckless or negligent driving offenses within 24 months when the offense resulted in death or injury to a person or in serious property damage. Listen! Read! Look! Talk! Argue! Think! then V.T E different delegations and missions, the Latin American and Middle and Far East delegations having the largest number. The United States Mission this year has three former internes with a total of about 20 former internes employed now in the Secretariat. Many of the internes live at the International House and partici- pate in group activities and social events after working hours. For most of them, this is their first visit to New York, and sight-seeing and picture-taking take up much of their spare time. Four or five marriages between internes have taken place in the various pro- grams. Taking part in this program from the University are Mrs. Paz B. Dominado, representing the Philippines and Miss Rupa K.' Mehta representing India. Voice Confab Opens Today The sixteenth annual Emergent Voice Conference opens at Wal- denwoods, Hartland, Mich. today and will close with a public con- cert in Cromaine Hall at 3:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The conference, founded by the late Kenneth N. Westerman, is in the form of a workshop for private and school vocal teachers. Those who will attend this year as conference or faculty members will come from Springfield, Va.; Durham, N. C.; Passaic, N. J.,; Buffalo, N. Y.; St. Louis, Mo.; Palo Alto, Calif.; Walla Walla, Wash., and numerous places in Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. The techniques from "Emergent Voice," which are planned with4 respect for developmental growth, will be taught by Mrs. Kenneth N. Westerman.4 By The Associated Press The Ohio Valley, raked by a series of heavy weekend rain- storms, began a slow return to normalcy yesterday but kept a wary eye on predicted flood state waters of the Monongahela River. At least seven deaths were blamed on the weather. In addi- tion, a family of three was missing and feared drowned in an auto that toppled into a western Penn- sylvania creek. Unofficial damage estimated ranged upward of three million dollars. The heavy rains, which began Sunday in the Ohio Valley especi- ally in West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, northeastern Ohio and in the De- troit area, deposited five and six inches in some places and set off flash-floods. Pittsburgh and the surrounding area saw subsiding flood wate-s that caused tremendous damage in small communities along the whipped up Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers. Officials said that in western Pennsylvania it would take more than a week to remove debris and repair utility lines. Three deaths were reported in Pennsylvania. Near the Monon- gahela River city of Monessan 25 mies south of Pittsburgh, search- ers hunted for Mr. and Mrs. James Pascarella Jr. and their 3-month- old son, James II. Other communities saw dimin- ishing flood waters. Carnegie, a suburb of Pittsburgh, was soaked by the storm as Chartiers Creek rose to its highest level in a half century. The Red Cross set up emergency shelter there for 300 exacuees. Canonsburg, 25 miles from Pitts- burgh, also bore the brunt of the storm with 50 families evacuated. Following torriential rains, all main roads were reopened in northern West Virginia. Clarks- Board Okays Bond Issue LANSING, (P)-The State Ad- ministrative Board yesterday ten- tativelyapproved a .$25,000,000 bond issue to finance 218 miles of four-lane superhighways. Total cost of the projects is $146,000,000. The Federal Goven- ment will foot most of the bill under the new Federal Highway Act. George M. Foster, Chief Deputy Highway Commissioner, said con- struction will start this fall on some of the projects but that he could not name them. Foster said that under normal procedure bonds could be placed on the market in the latter part of this month Gov. G. Mennen Williams used, the occasion to complain that the Highway Department had dragged its feet in getting the projects under way. The law authorizing the pro- jects was passed in 1955, but the legislature amended it last spring1 to clear up objections of bonding attorneys.- "I signed that law about theI middle of June and hoped we1 could get started at least by July 1. This is at best one month late,", Gov. Williams said. The board delayed final ap- proval until technical difficultiest are ironed out. burg and Morgantown-splashed with 5,15 inches of rain, were es pecially hard hit. In western Maryland, the Balti more and Ohio and Western Mary land railroads reopened washed out main lines and trains wer running a slow schedule. Northwestern Ohio tallied fou deaths in the wake of turbulen wind, flash floods and heavy rains Cleveland, Akron, Canton an other cities had storms whic knocked over scores of trees an electric wires. The Youngstown Warren area had heavy wind dam age. Central Iowa had a violen thunderstorm with winds of mor than 70 m.p.h. The storm up rooted trees, destroyed homes an farm buildings and damaged util ity lines. A Manning, Iowa farme was seriously injured when hi barn collapsed while he was milk ing. At Creston, wind blew dow the 228-foot tower of radio statio KBIS. SU' Research Center Will Conduct Poll What do Americans think abou government policy? How do group memberships af fect their voting behavior? The University' Survey Re search Center wil seek well define answers to these squestions from a carefully selected, nationwid sample of more than 2,000 citizen this fall. Thirteen major metro politan areas and 56 countie selected at random will be include in the Center's second presidentia election study. In their first full-fledged cam paign study four years ago, th Center's researchers found three general factors were important i the voter's decision: his feeling o identification with either of the major political parties, his reaction to issues involving governmen policy, and his personal impression of the candidates. For individuals, the relative im portance of each of these factors varied widely For the nation a a whole, however, party loyalty seemed to have greater importanc than the other two factors, The 1956 study will continue t assess the importance of party identification, issues and candi dates in the election, but will dig more deeply into the importance of government policy - domestic and foreign -- and related issue to behavior in the voting booth The survey will also include pre- liminary questions designed to see how attitudes toward these issues may be related to an individual's broader feelings about the world generally-what he thinks about the prospects for war or peace, for example. Membership in labor unions, racial, religious and ethnic groups, and other voluntary associations will also be studied in more detail than was done in 1952. Interviewing of the nationwide sample will start in mid-Septem- ber, an drun through October. Participants in each area will be selected at random by the Center well in advance of the inter- views. Approximately 150 trained field workers will conduct the in- terviews, which are expected to run about an hour apiece. t* -- d d .q r t S. d h d t d r n n t d n e s f ri t a s d Y e a e c - 3 according to Vice President P: pont, is that University buildir have a lower insurance rate ti most city buildings because their construction.

Another factor the Vice Pre dent mentions is that our pa ments will depend somewhat how much we do. For example, the level of lice protection payments sho depend in part on the size oft University's security force. Determinatitn of an equital level of payments is the subJi of frequent consideration and r gotiation by both city and Uj versity officials. Larcom and Vice Preside Pierpont agree it is not by an: static issue, NEW YORK (A -Roy T. Hurle,, president of Curtiss-Wright Corp., announced yesterday the formal signing of contracts putting into effect his firm's agreement with' Studebaker-Packard Corp. . The agreement, under whichj Curtiss-Wright will take over three plants of the auto firm and pro- vide guidance through a three- year advisory management con- tract, were announced Saturday. After the official signing of the contracts here a Curtiss-Wrightl spokesman said there was nothing to add to details already disclosed in the earlier announcement. In giving terms of the long- awaited deal between Curtis- Wright and Studebaker-Packard, Hurley said it was planned to keep the auto firm an "important parti- pant" in the automobile in- dustry. The agreement, Hurley has said, provides for Curtis-Wright to pay 35 million dollars for long-term leases on two of the auto firm's plants and for outright purchase of a third plans plus certain de- fense assets. The leased plants are Stude- baker-Packard's Utica plant near Detroit and the Chippewa plant at South Bend, Ind. Purchased was the auto firm's Aerophysics De- velopment Corp. of Santa Barbara. Calif.- Hurley said Curtiss-Wright will be able to place approximately 100 million dollars of defense sorders per year in the leased plants, thereby providing increased em- ployment in the Detroit and South Bend areas. All three plants ob- tained from the auto company will be operated as wholly-owned sub- sidiaries, he said.
