Oflicials at the United States Navy base here had hoped the heli-

State colleges and universities,
were warned yesterday that they
were fighting a losing battle in the
contest for top quality tnen with
business, industry, law and medi-
cine.
The Russell Committee report
on faculties at Michigan colleges
and universities said that efforts
of financial support "will have to
be intensified and increased sub-h
stantially" if the present "high '
levies" of quality education were
to be even maintained. It noted
with alarm the decreasing number
of doctorates being graduated
from the state's institutions of
higher learning, and the decreas-
ing number of new faculty mem-
bers nationally who have doctor-
ates.
Salaries Lag
Michigan colleges and univer-
sities are lagging behind in the
salary level of the two upper fac-
ulty ranks, professor and associate
professor, the report said. Special
attention is needed for the adjust-;
ment of salaries in these two
ranks, the report said, "if the1
Michigan institutions can expect
to compete for staff with the bet-a
ter institutions of the country.",
The study was the tenth in a
series of 12 on higher education in

cally it was a stalemate.

gain by the University and four
other state universities - which
the committee said was selected
because of their exceptionally
good salary situations - was only
nine per cent compared with 79
per cent nationally.
Michigan's privately controlled
institutions were the cause of
some concern by the committee,
especially in the area of faculty
salaries. The committee said that
salaries in private institutions de-
serve ' "immediate, active and vig-
orous" support by public groups.
The average salary in private in-
stitutions was $4,643.
The University was far out in
front of other state institutions
I level of faculty salaries. The
average of University faculty sal-
aries was $8,508, nearly $1,000
ahea dof the nearest private
school, which the survey did not
name, and over $1,000 mnore than
the average of salaries at Wayne
State University, the nearest
state-controlled institution.
'U' Leads Others
The University leads all state
schools and colleges in percentage
of faculty that have obtained doc-
torates, with 58.3 per cent. The
state-controlled institutions of
Michigan, with 45.3 per cent of
their faculties holding the doc-
torate degree, are well above the
national average of 40 per cent.
The committee report showed
that 43.1 per cent of the Univer-
sity faculty received their high-
est degree at the University over
15 per cent above the Wayne
State University, the next highest.

NICOSIA (AW)-The Greek Cy-
priot mayors of Cyprus' six main
towns urged British Gov. Sir Hugh
Foot yesterday not to go ahead
with Britain's new plan for gov-
erning this Mediterranean island.
The mayors met with Foot at his
invitation to discuss what they
called the existing serious situa-
tion on the island.
Britain recently propdsed that
Greece and Turkey join in admin-
istration of Cyprus for seven years
and in holding sovereignty there-
after. Greece and Turkey rejected
the plan.
The mayors told Foot the pro-
gram would lead to partition of
the island into Greek and Turkish
Cypriot sectors and cause contin-
ued communal enmity and clashes.
Cyprus has about 400,000 residents
of Greek descent and about 100,000
of Turkish extraction.
In a statement from Govern-
ment House, Foot declared it was
his firm personal conviction that
the British plan is correct and the
only one that could save the island
from catastrophe.

Nine Fliers
Turned Over
To Iranians
Men Then Returned
To U.S. Air Force
Europe Headquarters
TEHRAN, Iran () - Nine
American airmen were freed by
the Russians at the Iranian border
yesterday after being held 11 days
on charges of violating Soviet air
space.
They were brought to Tehran
by car and plane for a brief rest,
bath and dinner before taking off
for Wiesbaden, Germany. There
they will report directly to United
States Air Force European head-
quarters.
The nine men, seized when their
plane was forced down in Soviet
Armenia, were turned over to Ir-
anian authorities at the ~aspan
seaside town of Astara in north-
west Iran near Soviet Azerbaijan
Cars immediately took them to

to Tehran.
The Russians had charged that
the Air Force men were flying ,
snooping mission for the United-
States Strategic Air Command
June 27 when their C11 military
transport was intercepted 102
miles inside Soviet Armenia by So-
viet jets. The Soviet announce-
ment of the interception and
seizure of the men said the plane
burned after it landed.
It was not clear whether the
burning was due to Soviet jet ac-
tion or whether the United State
airmen burned it purposely to de'
stroy military equipment.
The United States, demanding
the quick release of the airmen,
said the plane did not deliberate'
ly cross into Soviet territory but
flew off course due to navigation-
al error in overcast weather.
