(AP> — Italy proposed today teat the U.N. General Assembly establish a high-level study committee to seek a formula for breaking the 16-year deadlock over tee seating of Red China. The proposal was outlined by Senator Attilio Piccioni, head of tee Italian delegation, as the 121-nation assembly launched a comprehensive debate on the China representation issue. Piccimii called for a new approach, which would include discussimis ot tee problem wite tec Peking government to ascertain wheteer it was willing to comply wite IH-ovisions of tee U.N. charter. The committee would be asked to draw specific conclusions. Piccioni did not mention the possibility of seeking a solution based on the concept of seating Red China without expelling the Chinese Nationalists — the so-called two-Chinas plan. Hiis, however, has received wide discussion in private talks by Canada, Italy and others. The Italian plan provided that the study be concluded before the meeting of the 1967 assem- bly, and teat the committee should be made up of “persons of the greatest eminence and long international experience.” Piccioni suggested that the group should be of restricted Rscal Group Starts Its Work Citizen Consultants Conduct 1 st Meeting , Pontiac’s citizen consultants — the Pontiac Financial Study Compiittee— staged their first formal meeting last night and immediately got down to business.

Taylor Jr. and tee C i t y Commission, is charged with two specific duties. As detailed last night by Taylor, tee committee is to first come up with a reconunendation for a short-term solution to the city’s fiscal crisis. Secondary, the committee is to conduct a deeper analysis and offer, long-range recommendations to solve the puzzle of financing local municipal services.

Regular bus service from Royal Oak to the college’s two campuses has been seen by trustees as ? stopgap measure in providing facilities to southeastern Oakland County residents. Denison’s opinim was based on a 1939 Michigan Supreme Court ruling reaffirmed by tee attorney general in 1959. Transportation of students is not an expressed power of community colleges, he noted. He commented that trustees already bad exceeded their auteority in trying the busing plan last year. Building Work Aid Received The driver was thrown clear of the vehicle about feet after impact.

JOHNSON Less than an hour’s surgery was required to remove a tiny, benign growth in the President’s throat and for corrective measures affecting the incision of a year-ago gallbladder operation. It is expected that LBJ will leave the hospital within a few days, after which he plans a short period of recuperation at his Texas ranch before resuming a full-time White House schedule. ★ ★ ★ A grateful America gives thanks that its early fears concerning the well-being of its chief executive proved groundless and for the pronouncement of his doctor that the President’s health is “as good as^l have known it in many years.’’ Archaic Laws Deny Medicine Organ Transplants As medical science heads for the 21st Century, what wonders to perform, a 40Qryear-old oddity of English common law stands in the way —in at least 10 states—of the development of what will surely be commonplace technique in the next century—the transplantation of human organs. Even today, an unknown number of persons each year are being condemned to disability and sometimes death because of the law which says an individual may not make an arrangement for the disposal of his body or parts of it after his death in any manner violating the right of the spouse or next of kin to bury it. ★ ★ ★ According to the American Medical Association’s Law Division, 35 states have passed laws permitting individuals to will their bodies to medical science. Five others allow the donation of eyes only. In Massachusetts, where some of the leading work in transplantation is being done, the legislature this year for the third time defeated a bill that would allow residents to will their bodies or parts of them. Although permission of next of kin is usually granted, physicians complain that by the time it is obtained it is ordinarily too late. Because of this, there is a long waiting list for eye donations and in the case of kidney transplants a Massachusetts hospital spokesman charges that “hundreds of people die every year who might have been saved.’’ It is not only in the matter of tissue and organ transplantation that the common law conflicts with common sense. It is a hindrance to medical education and research. Record Enrollment Taxes American Colleges TJiere are, according to preliminary enrollment reports, as many as 6.45 million students in American colleges and universities this fall. The announcement comes from Dr. Garland G. Parker, University of Cincinnati statistician, who annually makes a detailed collegiate enrollment study for the journal School and Society. ie if i( Sophomore and junior enrollments are the largest in history as the large lumps of “gigantic” freshman classes of the last two years move further along the educational assembly line. This year’s freshman enrollment is down slightly—about 2.5 per cent —from last year, largely because of the birthrate decline in 1948 and the impact of Selective Service. The next two freshman years will not increase significantly over this year, says Dean Parker, giving the schools |i chance to cope with the inordinately large student body in the upper classes. ★ ★ ★ Even so, he says, “the accommodation of such a mass of students will levy a high toll on the Nation’s academic, physical and financial resources jn the next two years. Thereafter, freshman enrollments will again begin to climb, he warns. A Great Man Soon Forgotten By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON - Sen. Paul H. Douglas, tall, white-haired Illinois Democrat, with lines in his face, shows his age at 74, and no wonder. His has been a tfemendous life. Intellectual, teacher, soldier, politician, his main concern has been people and how to make life more endurable. Yet, much he did, because scattered over years of trying, is easily overlooked or forgotten. ___________ He was independent, MARLOW Idealistic, a liberal with intense feeling and emoitkm. He wept several times in public, once on the Senate floor, which is not the best way to make an impression in that hard-boiled and pragmatic place. But in his 18 years there, much major legislation of our time had his fingerprints on it, directly or obliquely. Douglas and President Johnson arrived in the Senate the same year, 1948. There was never much similarity between ttiem, and for a long time never much love lost. Although their, relations mellowed later, Douglas had little of Johnson’s restlessness, his relentless aggressiveness, his indefatigable attention to details of politics and the Senate. ★ ★ ★ Where Johnson, always called a practical politidai^ could bring oi^lte sides to-’ gether through compromise, Douglas was not a ready compromiser. ONE BIG REASON If for only this reason alone he could never be Johnson’s dish. These few examples show why Johnson would always have been a more effective leader than Douglas. But Douglas’ role in the Senate lay in a different direction. He envisioned, proposed or sponsored, and pursued social and economic programs often years ahead of their time. But he persisted for years. In an age like this — when pettiness, ugliness and avarice color the flavor of the day, as they have in every other age — the Athenians no doubt wMild have considered Douglas a truly noble man. TRIED AGAIN This year he tried for a fourth tdrm in the Senate. His opponent was Charles H. Percy, a Republican businessman without congressional pxpeiaence. On a trip to Illinois to campaign for Douglas, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey listed some of the achievements of Douglas, who in 1961 Was named by the American Political Science Association as the Senate’s No. 1 Deihocrat (rf that year. Humphrey said “Few come in our time ol^ this quality. He has worked his heart out for you. How could anyone turn away from this man? Is there no appreciation? Is there no gratitude?” On election day the voters chose TF*ercy. Will The Red GOP Please Stand Up! David Lawrence Says: Lyndon-Ike Visit Is Significant WASHINGTON - Some people see political motives or implications in almost every-thing that LAWRENCE disadvantages are often a matter of coincidence with public events. There are those who have been saying that the trip to Asia by President Johnson was a grandstan^play. 'They tend to minimize the importance of his mission. Perhaps the most sipifi-cant thing that has happened to emphasize not only the nonpolitical nature of Mr. Johnson’s journey across the Pacific but the importance of a continuing effort to gain worldwide suppwt for the American position in Viet Nam was' the announcement yesterday that former President Eisenhower had visited President Johnson at the hospital jnd ialked with him for nearly an hour about Asian problems. After the interview, Eisenhower merely said that he and the President had covered a wide variety of subjects and had talked primarily about Gen. Westmoreland, the U. S. commander in Viet Nam. Mr. Johnson stated later that he had also asked the former president “for his judgment on some of our friends in the Pacific and Asia.” The President presumably was anxious to get Eisenhower’s evaluation of Gen. Westmoreland’s recommendations for the prosecution bf the war itself. Since Eisenhower is a Verbal Orchids Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Buff my er of Lake City; golden wedding anniversary.

For the President has to make up his mind soon whether the war is to be escalated further and what are the best ways to do it. Since the Manila conference, it has developed that the President also took up with Eisenhower the possibility of a trip by the former president to Asia — including stops in the Philippines, Pak- istan and Korea — and to other parts of the world. It was reported that Eisenhower is sympathetic to the idea. ★ ★ ★ On the whole, while there may be some political implications in all these latest moves — national and international — the basic fact is that, on foreign policy, Americans tend to stick together in times of crises. ★ ★ ★ Also, after art election, the leaders of a defeated party are inclined to analyze the results carefully to see what lessons can be learned.

A copy of a letter sent to Mr. N. M. Jones, General Traffic Personnel supervisor and Mr. R. A. Boase, General Plant Labor Relations Supervisor of Michigan Bell 'Telephone Company, dated May 20, 1965, shows that Mr. Crawley’s name was deleted from the Steward’s list at that time.

GUY C. POPPY, COMMANDER NEW YORK-Gene Tunney employs a disarming gdmbit when being interviewed by sportswriters. Inevitably, thb poor slobs ask him to name the greatest iieavyweight fighter of all time. “Jack Dempsey!” Gene will respond with enormous ' warmth.

At a certain point, however, a wariness seizes the pencilpushing muscles of even the youngest sportswriter. He will suddenly sense that Gene, whether he intends it or not, is paying himself this magnificent tribute. He is not talk-in about Dempsey; he is talking about Gene 'Dinney. For let’s face it, he beat Dempsey twice. Dick Nbcon did something along these reverse English lines during his political barnstorming trips through the country in the weeks and months leading up to the Nov. 8 elections.

Others won because he scrounged the money they desperately needed to pay off the advertising departments of the newspapers, television and radio stations.

But through the land there will be much appreciation of what Nixon accomplished in everybody else’s, name save his own, if his luck holds out. That appreciation could ignite into a Nixon bonfire at the 1968 convention. Stranger things have happened. Question and Answer / I always read the question and answer. Now we need assiki-ance.

The oldtime caricature of the “dumb cop” has long sine* been replaced by an educated, trained, skilled specialist in crime detection and law enforcement. In Pontiac, Mich., on Nov. 2, policemen went on strike and a nation went into shock. “Lawmen must not break laws!” Make no mistake, these did. The law in Michigan bans strikes by public employes so these did not formally call a “strike”; they called in “sick.” The effect was the same. This was our nation’s first poUce strike since 1919 when l^ston policemen struck for higher pay and the governor had to call out troops tb quell resultant rioting. A thousand Boston policemen who had commited “the unpardonable crime” were never returned to duty. In IPontiac a policeman’s salary is a thousand dollars less than the salary of a policeman in nearby Detroit. They feel discriminate against, and they aske their City Commission for a raise and the City Commission stalie. ,, So the policemen, indignant, quit. Had that “sickness,” contagious, spread elsewhere it might have resulte in ay disastrous epidemic, within h 0 u r s, sensing gravity of the crisis they 1 created, the policeme^ of Pontiac—still without a pay raise -p returned to duty. Policemen are and must remain separated from the rest of us by an obligMion that’s bigger than all /our grievances. There is no w^y we can afford them. Pernaps we don’t even deserve them.
