LXVII, No. 16S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1957 FOUR FAG AAA9 Democrats' Scuttle GOP Fiscal Plan. Banking Committee Keeps Probe Powers WASHINGTON (P)--Voting as a bloc, Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee yesterday kill- ed President Dwight D. Eisenhow- er's plan to have a White House commission study the nation's finances. Two committee Democrats whose votes had been considered doubtful, joined the other Demo- crats in outvoting Republican members 8-7. - The GOP members reportedly had gotten personal appeals from President Eisenhower to spur ac- tion on the measure. Democrats want to keep an in- vestigation of money matters strictly in the hands of the Demo- cratic-controlled Senate Finance Committee. (This group began its public study two weeks ago.) With "tight money" considered a hot political issue, °the Demo- crats. had no enthusiasm for let- ting the administration appoint a panel to investigate its own fiscal policies. - The rival plans for a fiscal study have stirred bitter partisan de- bate. The intensity of political1 feeling was demonstrated Monday when Sen. Robert Kerr (D-Okla.),t said on the Senate floor that Pres- ident Eisenhower hasn't the brains to understand federal fiscal prob- lems./ Sen. Kerr was rebuked at the time by Sen. H. E. Capehart of Indiana, senior Banking Com- mittee Republican and author of the bill which the committee shelved. The Capehart-Kerr dispute raged on yesterday. E Agconmission study of fiscal policy first was proposed by Presi- dent Eisenhower in his State of the Union message in January. Sen. Capehart's bill would have permitted President Eisenhower to name a nine-member study com- mission without Senate confirma- tion. The commission Would have been directed to report by Dec. 1, 1958, on the nature, perform- ance and adequacy of existing fi-C nancial institutions and monetaryc t and financial measuresI Senate Hurdles Civil Rights Jam Votes 71-18 To Bring Measure To Senate Floor; Battle Looms WASHINGTON (RP)-The Senate voted 71 to 18 yesterday to take up President Dwight D. Eisenhower's civil rights bill. It was the signal for a bitter North-South fight that may last all summer. Soon after the Senate decision, President Eisenhower issued a statement expressing the hope that, in considering amendments, the Senate "will keep the measure an effective piece of-legislation." Specifically, President Eisenhower opposed the idea of guaran- teeing jury trials in contempt of U WIN: Neutrality For Burma, By RENE GNAM Burma is an individualistic na- tion determined to remain neutral in the present cold war. By taking this course, Burma hopes to further the cause of world peace, U Win, Burmese Am- bassador to the United States said yesterday. Fifth lecturer in the Univer- sity summer session series "Asian Commission Will Study AA IHosing. By JOHN WOODRUFF Ann Arbor Human Relations Commission last night initiated a study of human relations prob- lems in local housing matters and agreed that "education" is the most pressing long range problem the commission faces. In its first official action after fornal organization, the commis- sion appointed a three-member committee to asseible all avail- able information on housing prob- lems. Appointed by chairman Rev. Henry Lewis were State Rep. George W. Sallade, Mrs. Marion Carr and Dr. Albert Wheeler. Study Set The information, to be used as a starting point in a study of housing conditions, will be ob- tained from such sources as City Housing Commission and Ann Ar- bor Family Service. Dr. Wheeler emphasized that housing is not the only problem the commission intends to inves- tigate. He pointed out that it is the intent of the commission not to devote its attention exclu- sively to any one issue over a period of time. Dr. Wheeler submitted that without education the commission could "work for decades and be merely boxing with shadows." Other Techniques He went on to say that the usual literature and communiques are not the only means of teach- ing at the disposal of the com- mission, In discussing procedure, Com- missioner Richard Mann empha- sized the basic factor in all pro- cedural decisions should be crea- tion of a body to which citizens of the community may bring all problems on human relations.

"The U.N.," he said, "is a good mediator." U Win expressed hopes that the nations of the world would place increased and con- tinued faith in the United Nations. Main part of the lecture was devoted to a thorough discussion >f Buddhist influence on Bur- mese cultures. He described Burma as a "so- cial, democratic state and society with universal suffrage and full freedom of religion and civic ights for all citizens." Burma, the ambassador said, respects "the integrity of our eth- nic and religious variations in a completely free and open society."

The grants will be used to pro- luce programs under the theme America in the Twentieth Cen-' ury" for broadcast over the tape Network of the National Associa- Jon of Educational Broadcasters. court cases which grow out of th 4legislation. But Sen. Richard Rus sell (D-Ga.), leader of souther foes of the bill, said: "We ar prepared to expend the greates effort ever made in history t prevent passage of this bill in it present form." As soon as the House-approve measure reached the floor, Sen Wayne Morse (D-Ore), moved tha it be sent to the Judiciary Com mittee for a week's study. Thi motion was defeated, 54 to 35. Anderson Says Then Sen. Clinton Anderson (D. N.M.) promptly called up hi amendment to strike out the con troversial section 3 of the bill which would give the attorne3 general new powers to seek federa court injunctions for the enforce- ment of all manner of civil rights Violators of these injunction could be jailed or fined by federal judges for contempt without a jury trial. Sen. Anderson's amendmeni thus became the pending matter in the battle over the bill, and the Senate recessed at 6:21 p.m. unti noon today. 1 Filibuster Seen Now a determined band of southern democrats led by Sen. Russell is expected to filibuster for weeks against the bill unless its terms are softened greatly by amendments. Almost all other legislative bus- iness in the Senate will be sus- pended until the civil rights issue is settled. Sen. .illiam Knowland of Cali- fornia, the Republican leader, said this may take two months. A coalition of 42 Republicans and 29 Democrats joined forces to bring the bill to the floor. Southern Votes The 18 "no" votes came from 9 of the 11 southern states. The senators from Tennessee and Tex- as, including Majority Leader Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, voted for consideration of the bill. This indicated that in any at- tempt to talk the bill to death the opposition could depend on only 18 speakers. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), has served notice he will not sup- port a filibuster, although he wants the bill modified., President Eisenhower's state- ment was put out while he was playing golf in nearby Maryland. States Goals James C. Hagerty, the White House press secretary, said it had been prepared in advance and fully discussed with the President. The chief executive said that while details of the language are .a legislative matter, he hoped the bill's effectiveness would be pre- served, to carry out its objectives. He described an objective as: "To protect the constitutional right of all citizens to vote regard- less of race or color." He said another goal is: "To provide a reasonable pro-. gram of assistance in efforts to protect other constitutional rights of our citizens." Clergyman Tells Court Of Beating KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (')-A Bap- tist minister gave a blow-by-blow account in United States District Court yesterday of how he got his nose bloodied by a fellow towns- man who taunted him with cries of "nigger loving preacher" during Clinton racial disorders last Dec. 4. It was an oft-told tale, but the Rev. Paul Turner recited it in meticulous detail for the all-white jury. He named his assailant as Clyde Cook, 36, an Oak Ridge plant worker and a defendant in the 1 Clinton segregation trials. The 34-year-old minister's testi- mony marked a high spot of the government's attempt to prove tht 14 Tennesseans and northern segregationist John Kasper con- spired to violate an anti-violence injunction at integrated Clinton High School. The government is expected to wind up its case today. The defense, with more than 80 witnesses uder subpoena, may take the criminal contempt case well into next week. Turner's constant repitition of the words "nigger lover" in de- scribing how members of a mob heckled him touched off volleys of angry objections from the defense. Turner, pastor of Clinton's First Baptist Church, was attacked on the town square and beaten after escorting six Negro students to the formerly all-white school. Clinton High was the first state- supported secondary school in Tennessee to mix the races.

He said this would be "an act of confidence which would strengthen the fellowship of the North Atlantic community." He told a news conference a study would show "within the next few weeks perhaps" whether a change in United States atomic law would be needed. "No definite conclusions have been reached," Dulles said, re- ferring to the whole idea. He got on the subject when a reporter questioned him about America's disarmament negotia- tions with Russia, Canada, Britain and France. The question was whether the United States would, in connec- tion with its disarmament propos- als, make available nuclear ma- terial and weapons to any western nation agreeing to quit trying to make its own atomic weapons. "We are studying ways where- by, through perhaps a NATO stockpile of weapons and various arrangements of that sort," Dulles said, "there can be assurances to our Allies that if they are at- tacked, if war comes, that they will not then be in the position of suppliants, as far as we are concerned, for the use of atomic weapons," Dulles said. He said he was not sure who would own the stockpile-suggest- ed it might be placed in the hands of Gen. Lauris Norstad, American commander of NATO military forces.

In Ohio it is almost the reverse." * * * DETROIT-Walter P.

'U' Concerts Scheduled Two concerts are scheduled at the University for this week. At 8:30 p.m. today the Wood- wind Quartet will present a pro- gram at Rackham Lecture Hall. The quintet consists of Florian Mueller, oboeist; Clyde Carpen- ter on French horn; Nelson Hauenstein, flutist; Lewis Cooper, bassoonist; Albert Luconi, clari- netist, and featuring Lawrence Teal, bass clarinetist. At 7:30 p.m. tomorrow on the diag, the University Band under tht direction of Prof. William D. Revelli of the Music School will present a program with several guest conductors from the Ninthl Annual Band Directors' Cognfer- ence. The concert will be held in Hill Auditorium in case of rain. European Stockpile Wilson said will save approri- mately $200 million. The Army was ordered to ab- sorb one-half the total cut from its authorized strength of one mil- lion men. The Navy's reduction quota was 15,000, the Marine Corps' 10,000 and the Air Force's 25,000. Actual Strength The actual strength of the artned forces on May 31, the last compilation available, was 2,789,- 642. A Defense Department spokes- man said it was his understanding that the 100,000 cut was based upon this year's authorized strength of 2,800,000 uniformed men and women.'The order would thus mean an actual reduction of 89,642 from the latest known total strength. Wilson, in a "memorandum for the President," said the reduc- tions can be made "without ma- terially affecting deployments of major combat units abroad, in- cluding those in Western Europe." Wilson Promises In a separate memorandum to the service secretaries, Wilson promised a thorough review of the whole military manpower picture in the fall. And he said an additional re- duction of 8,135 o f f i c e r s is planned. He didn't fix a date for lopping off these officers, nor did he say whether aditional enlisted men would be released at the same time. Of the 100,000 to be released, Wilson specified that 11,865 be of- ficers and the rest enlisted men. The breakdown of reductions ordered by Wilson was: Army, 44,- 470 enlisted men and 5,530 offi- cers; Navy, 13,365 enlisted and 1,635 officers; Marine Corps, 9,- 100 enlisted and 900 officers, and Air Force 21,200 enlisted and 3,- 800 officers. Wilson noted that the officers share was only 11,865. But he said that in a second, later phase, 8,- 135 will be dropped.

GLIMPSES OF ASIA: 4 Culture, Humor Well-Mixed in Burmese Night - By FRED KATZ "Music, Arts,.and Literature form the spirit of a nation; maybe through that can we help reduce the tension of this atomic age." Those were the introductory words of Mya Maung, master of ceremonies of the "Glimpse of Burma" program last night at Rackham. The overflow audience was delightfully entertained by Mya Maung's keen sense of humor and Maung Hlaing, president of the campus Burma Club, as they presented traditional dancing from their homeland, and color slides of Rangoon and surrounding territory. Honored guests of the evening were Burmese ambassador U Win, his daughter and two sons. Miss Win, first dancer on the program, exhibited the intricacies of dozens of different movements of the Burmese dance. Aff % - - ;4 - f L.,.n - -1 - 1-..rf,,. ...,... . , , + .... :.], . Prof. Harold M.

There are no immediate plans to expand the University beyond the Flint and Dearborn centers, but as a matter of policy it will consider the establishment of other branches, Prof. Dorr said. Outstate expansion by the Uni- versity would hinge on four con- ditions. School Group To Organize LANSING (A)-At the urging of Gov. G.
