Accepts U. N. Cease-Fire ^ UNITED NATIONS (UPI) - The Unit-ed Arab Republic today accepted a U. N. cease-fire in the Middle East war. WASHINGTON (/P) — Israeli torpedo boats and airplanes mistakenly attacked a U.S. Navy ship in the Mediterranean Sea, approximately 90 miles southwest of Tel Aviv, Israel, the ^^tmtagon announced today. Initial r^rts listed four Americans dead\nd 53 wounded. The Pentagon said that U.S. government “has been formed by the Israeli government " by Israeli forces and an apology that the attack was made in error has been received from Tel Aviv.” Phil G. Goulding, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, said the vessel attacked was the USS Liberty, a technical re-ir^ ship tiiat was in position this morning to assure communications for U.S. government posts in the Middle East and to assist in relaying information concerning the evacuation of the U.S. dependents and other citizens from the Arab-Israeli war area. ‘Tt is reported that she is in no danger of sinking,” GoUlding told newsmen. He said the attack came about 9 a.m. EDT. The Liberty is a 450-foot-long boat that carries a crew of 15 officers, 179 men and three civilian aides, ^ THE POlShriAC PRESS Home Edition VOL. 125 — NO. 105 GOP Leaders Woo Holdouts for Tax Votes LANSING (ffl — With one eye on the calendar and the other peeled for votes, the House Republican leadership is continuing a desperate search for isupport for its latest tax proposals. Five RepubUcaus and five Democrats are believed to be the main targets of .the vote drive, which is described as between three and five votes short of success. However the five Republicans—whose votes probably will mean life or death for the tax bills — expressed varied degrees of opposition in separate interviews yesterday. Many House Democrats, meanwhile, predicted the search for enough votes would fail. Some, including party leader William Ryan of Detroit, said it wouldn’t matter if it did succeed because the Senate wouldn't approve the House package anyway. * * * The House tax showdown can come at any time. It probably will happen as soon as Speaker Robert Waldron and other GOP leaders think they have the votes they need to pass their temporary, no-referendum package and its 2% per cent personal income tax. GOP holdouts Rep. Roy Smith, R-Ypsilanti, spent much of yesterday conferring with five of the seven Republican holdouts. “We’re clo«e. We’re very close,’’ Smith said. How close they actually were could be revealed today at a scheduled Republi-cart caucus. While Smith negotiated with the five Republicans, Waldron met with five Democrats he apparently thought might vote for the Republican-devised package if the GOP agreed to a few -changes. NO (XIMMITMENTS It was reported that the meetings pm^ duced no agreements and no commitment of votes. The five maverick Republicans whose support is being urgently wooed are Reps. Donald Holbrook of Clare, Robert Stites of Manitou Beach, Lionel Stacey of Benton Harbor, Edsco Root of Bangor and Gustave Great of Battle Creek. They were among eight GOP members who voted against a different tax package a month ago. PONTIAC. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1967 -72 PAG|1S The Pentagon said the vessel was flying its colors when struck. Goulding said tl^e vessel suffered at least one torpedo hit. It was not known whether the ship, armed with only four 50-caUher machine guns, fired back. He said it was steaming north this morning from the area at a speed of eight knots to m e e t American forces moving to her aid. He did not elaborate. Goulding said the Liberty departed Rota, Spain, June 2. The captain of the ship is Cmdr. William C. McGonagle of Lake-wood, Calif. U, N. Session Called of Request of U,S.

Streets Flooded in City Areas Heavy rains which fell several times yesterday caused flooded streets in 10 sections of the city and filled the streets with an unusual amount of water in most others. Lightning felled a tree in downtown Birmingham about 7 p.m., cutting power in a several-block area for l‘/4 hours and stopped electrical service to about 200 homes in the Franklin area for two hours after 6 p.m., according to Detroit Edison Co. officials. Telephone service was baited for about 250 homes throughout the Peutiac area but this was not unusual during intensive rain, a Bell Telephone Co. spokesman said. Wet cables disrupted tbe service, which should be restored by this afternoon, he said. In downtown Pontiac more than 1‘A inches of rain fell. Oakland at the Cass-Montcalm intersection, Perry near the Roosevelt Hotel and East Brooklyn from Baldwin to University were under water. These were termed chronic trouble spots by the Department of Public Works. Other streets which flooded were Thorpe, from Huron to Liberty; Mt. Clemens, Omar to Monterey: Saginaw and Rundell; Earlmoore, Nebraska; to Hillsmont; Bagley and Rochelle; |^n-esee and Owego; Walton Boulevard west of Arlene; and Durant-Pershing intersection. Affected streets were back to norpial today. No electrical disruption, or .damage from lightning was reported in the city. Rochester firemen fought a lightning-caused blaze in a tree at 600 N.

Bohlen, 62, was unhurt. ' ★ ★ .............. ' The U.S. Embassy confirmed the police account today.. A spokesman said the apparent attempt on Bohlen’s life occurr^ yesterday as the ambassador was leaving his residence in a chauf-feured limousine. The man was identified as Maurice Gordon, 59, a native of Lodz, Poland. Police said a check on his background failed to turn up a link between Gordon and any political organization. Officers said Gordon lunged at Bohlen’s car as it passed through the heavy Iron gates in front of his residence on the Avenue Diena. A member of the permanent French police detail that guards the residence grabbed him and the chauffeur stepped on the gas and sped away before Gordon could get the door open. The officers said the dagger was found in Gordon’s vest pocket. They quoted him as saying he “had envisaged assassinating the ambassador.’’ They said he refused to give* any reasons for tbe alleged attempt.

The Israeli government announced forces had taken over Jordan’s Hebr Hills south of Jerusalem and reached the Dead Sea. Earlier, they had reported capture of the Jordanian bulge north of Jerusalem and west of the Jordan River. But Old Jerusalem, despite its capture yesterday, was still out of bounds to all civilians because some isolated pockets of snipers remained, and some sniping also was reported on the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Israeli forces held key points in vast stretches of Egypt’s Sinai Desert including eastern approaches to the Suez Canal and Israel’s main objective: Sharm el Sheikh overlooking the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. But an Israeli spokesman in Tel Aviv categorically denied that any Israeli troops were on the banks of the canal despite a report from Israel’s delegation to the U.N. last night that Israeli troops had entered Ismailia, at the midpoint of the canal. ★ ■ 1 Maj.

Fedorenko, the council unanimously backed up its original cease-fire appeal of Tuesday night with a demand that the warring governments cease ail military activities at 4 p.m. EDT yesterday. Both the Soviet resolution and the ajK peal Tuesday night received the unanimous support of the council. * -k * Israel informed the U.N. last night that effect at the specified deadline. But an Egyptian government spokesman in Cairo, asked about the new truce call, declared: “Egypt will fight on.’’ The council also had on today’s agenda a Canadian proposal that the cotUcil ask its president, Ambassador Hans R. Tabor of Denmark, “with the assistance of the U. N. secretary general, to take the necesssary measures to bring about full and effective compliance with these resolutions.’’ Some diplomats considered the resolution an attempt to reduce the rolr-of Secretary General U Thant in the crisis. But Canadian Ambassador George Igna-tieff denied this. He said it was designed solely to give someone the authority to take steps to implement the c e a s e f i r e resolutions which he said those resolutions failed to do. f FORCES OF AGGRESSION’ Fedorenko told the council yesterday Xthat the “forces of aggression’’ — a reference to Israel — were “paying no hd^d’’ to the earlier call for an immedi-ate"^ease-fire.

Some House critics of the President’s proposal conceded privately that the fighting between Israel and the Arab atates has all but doomed their efforts to revise or block the legislation. The Senate approved the bill 70 to 15 Wednesday and the House Commerce Committee takes it up today. Congress has until June 19 to prevent a nationwide strike by srane 137,000 shopcraft workers, (hi that date, a current Congress-ordered 47-day no strike-iK) lockout period runs out. Chairman Harley 0. Staggers, D-W.Va., said his House Commerce Committee will meet again Friday if no decision is reached today in order to ready the measure for consideration on the floor next Wednesday. Accord Gained WASHINGTON (AP) - A compromise draft extension bill, including a provision that would strip the President of his power to order a lottery induction system, appears headed for prompt congressional approval. —Final action w1be measure, which would extend the draft law four years beyond the scheduled June 30 expiration date, could come by early next House-Senate conferees solved differences Wednesday in separate measures passed by the two branches. The compromise version was returned to both houses for final action. The legislation provides for continuing present deferments for college undergraduates and does not change the President’s authority, which he says he’ll use, to reverse the present Induction order and call up 19-year-olds first. to raise the national debt ceiling $29 billion. The unique coalition voted 210 to 197 Wednesday against the proposed largest debt Increase since World War II and forced the administration to come up with a new, probably cut-down plan or face a government billpaying crisis after June 30. The viclbiy-was dbubTy sweet for Republicans who cdled in debate for a vote of no confidence in Johnson’s fiscal policies and denounced what they called false budget figures. "We don’t believe the President’s figures,” said Rep. Tbomas B. Curtis, R-Mo. I’t see any reason why we should. They’re false on the revenue estimates and false on the expenditure estimates.” SEE REVISION GOP spokesmen argued that defeat of the debt ceiling measure could force the administration to revise its budget and cut domestic spending. The defeat stunned Democratic leaders, who had felt the Vietnam war and the Middle East crisis would inspire ade-c^ate ' bipartisan backing for Johnson’s money plans. Congress must do something by June 30. On July 1, under existing law* the present $336-billion borrowing ceiling automatically drops to the permanent legal level of $285 billion, well below the actual debt of about $331 billion. Rep. John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin, senior Republican member of the Ways and Means Committee, offered GOP sup- present limit to give administration time to carry out the budget revision the Republicans demand. NO DECISION But Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ariz., said no decision yet has been made on how to proceed. The $336-billion ceiling would carry the Treasury for several months, but the continued high level of spending on Vietnam and other programs would outstrip revenues and pile up a deficit that would have to be financed ny more borrowing. Democrats conceded the deficit for the year bt(ginning July 1 srobably will exceed the $11-nllion administration estimate. Discussing the vote. House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford said, ‘T believe this is a turning point away from irresponsible fiscal policies toward responsible ones of cutbacks in nonessential and nonmilitary spending.” The Weather Birmingham Area News Cranbrook Graduations Near BLOOMFIELD HILLS-Grad-uatioN excercises for Cranbrook POTtiic PrtM Photo UF BUDGET REVIEW - Edward C.

WASHINGTON - A “ceasefire” between Israel and the Arab countries will be df little avail unless the United Nations this time explicitly sets forth t h e obligations of t h e belligerent parties. E 1 e V e n| years ago, when the last ' armistice was LAWRENCE put into effect in the Middle East, safeguards were not provided against a future breakdown of the agreements. President Nasser took advantage of this omission when he suddenly demanded last month that the U.N. emergency .force be withdrawn. When Nasser decided to reopen the whole question, the U.N. was faced with a decision as to whether it would accept the demand for the withdrawal of the emergency force. But Secretary General U Thant made the mistake of pulling out tiie force without even consulting the members of the Security Council, and Egypt thought it had a free hand to start a war. Such a chain of circumstances can hardly be permitted to happen again. That is why the wording of the resolution for a “cease-fire,” it may be assumed, will this time be sufficiently comprehensive to prevent any disre-fard of file provisions of the agreement. Oddly enough, the conditions which prevailed 11 years ago are almost parallel with today’s situation. Most significant are the words of President Eisenhower in an address to a joint sesrion of Congress in 1957 ,when he said: “Russia’s rulers have long sought to dominate the Middle East. That was true of the czars and it is true of the Bol-shevdes. ’The reasons are not hard to find. Tliey do not affect Russia’s security.” IN POSITION Today the Soviet Union is in a position to alter its policy of supporting aggression and can become a respected partner of the free world. Although a request for a “cease-fire” has come from Verbal Orchids Miss HettieM, Taylor of Fliiit;83nl birthday. Fred Hirizhansea of 2344 Overridge; 87th birthday.

Janke of Binniiigham; 81st birthday. the Security Council with the approval of the Soviet government, the real problem is how it shall be applied and, if necessary, enforced. The Middle East can explode into war again if one or the other of the parties suddenly decides to break the “ceasefire” agreement with the Specious argument that “consent,” once given, can be withdrawn at any time. * The Soviet Union kas a great influence with the Arab countries, and the United States is on friendly terms with Israel. Certainly the two major powers of the world are in a position to bring peace to the Middle East and bring the adoption of an agreenient that will not be subject to arbitrary interruption or termination at will.

ELEANOR PATON BIRMINGHAM U.S.‘Soviet Relationship Discusses Prot€iBtor» of Policy in Vietnam in Viet Is an Irony of War NEW YORK - All who have ever attempted to make an omelet without breaking an egg will be sensitive toward the p r e d i c a -ment-if that is the word— of the American airmen involved in a raid on a North Vietnam harbor during CONSIDIN’E which a Russian ship was hit. w ★ ★ Not much question that it happened. I talked to a Navy fighter-bomber pilot aboard the Kitty Hawk about this war’s “privileged sanctuaries” and his description of the situation with Russian ships was graphic. He sdid that frequently be had flown over Haiphong en route to some implausibly picayune target inland and had passed big Russian tankers, in-bound or disgorging their uncounted tons of oil for the lamps of Ho ChiMinh. “Their crews always wave to us, and we wave back,” he said with a shake of his head. “Then we spend the next six weeks chasing single oil trucks down camouflaged roads with $30 million or $40 million worth of our airplanes. And we lose a plane here and there, and pilots too.’’ The strategy behind this seeming daftness is apparent. We have not wished to force Russia to* enter more deeply into the war in Vietnam. Nch* has Russia wanted ia It wants to be just enough “in.” MANY COIUUBOllA'n()NS We have accepted this portion and gone forward with many collaborations with the Russians in other fields and endeavors: the peaceful employment of space, for example, the New York-Moscow air agreement, extension of consulates, many cultiiral ties and exchanges, economic bridges across the Iron Chir-tain, etc. I heard oa hi|d>eBt authority uHea last in Vietnam tiiat we have killed or number of Many living in the United States under a democracy refuse to support our policy in Vietnam. How can they be so selfish to other people who look on them in envy? College students and boys eligible for draft are burning draft cards, marching bombings of missile posi- • jn protest and dodging the draft, yet they live under the gov-ernment they disown. When people give aid to the enemy by sending food and money to use against other Americans, they need to be completely removed from the influence of the society they oppose. . A PROUD AMERICAN My informant was quick to point out that the Russians have never acknowledged such losses, and he owed that to the tacit understanding the two big powers had reached concerning the war. It is our practice to avoid the Russian missile sites, fly around them, rather than take them out. This saves American and Russian lives and equipment. So it has been a war of adjustment, compromise and accommodation where the two giants are concerned. Probably will remain that way. Question and Answer Why was the American flag flying at full mast instead of half-mast over the Veterans’ plote at Perry Mt. Park Cemetery Memorial Day? JEFF COMPAU, II B.S. TROOP7 REPLY Mrs. Bauer of Veterans’ Affairs tells us standard procedure is for the flag to fly at half-mast until noon and then at full mast the rest of the day. • In Washington: Vital Arms Are in Tight Supply ByRAYCROMLEY WASHINGTON (NBA) -U.S. involvement in the Arab-Israeli war wquid produce a mixture of effects in this country and Europe.

MARIE (AP)-The new Poe Lock at Sault Ste. Marie will be dedicated June 15, 1968, according to Michael Perrinl, chief technical liaison officer at the Detroit Mstrict office of the U, S. Corps Engineers. The 1,000-foot lock has been binder construction since July 1, 1964. Last December Macao was the scene of riots and street diS' turbances staged by pro-Com-mupist elements. Eight persons were slain during Portuguese efforts to quell the trouble. Communist China lent full support to Communist elements in the colony, even to stationing gunboats ne^by. In the end the Portuguese were humbled and bowed to demands made by the Communists. Since then calm has pre-vailed for the most part but there were more mass demon-strati|on8 during the May riots in Hong Kong, 40 miles away. CONSUL LEFT British Q>nsul Normal Ions was repeatedly vilified and once > forced to stand seven hours in the sun while a mob of Communists hurled insults at thim and Britain. He and his staff quietly slipped oui to Hong Kong. Western faces other than those of Portuguese are rare now. Communists and leftists are quick to show their resentment toward non-Chinese, they' have stripped film from cameras of tourists so unwise as to take idiotos of the poster-plastered British office buildings and Portugese statues, government buildings and signs advertising Western goods. Moat non-Communist residents of Macao are pessimistic about the future. One observer said, “Tbe Portuguese have no power here now. The authorities and police can do nothing. This place is run by a bunch of teen-agers and‘workers^’”. Most of the population Is Chinese, and riot long s«o there was a sizable number of Chinese Nationalist sympathizers in the enclave. Up to last year they may have outnumbered Commui^sts. They have more or lesk gone underground. A spaced row of sentry boxes, each with a Communist Chinese soldier in it, stands on the frontier.

DOWNTOWN AND DRAYTON PLAINS A-4 THE PONTIAC PRESS. THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1967 Fiscal Mistakes Killed Network—Dana By BOB THOMAS AP M^e-Tdevtsion Writer LAS VEGAS, Neb. - “At least I set arecord. I’m die first man In history to sink an entire n^j*.” ' 'iliat was rueful humor of Bill Dana as he discussed the demise of “*Hie LasTegas Show,’’ which he headed for ,26 programs. The two-hour nl^tly variety show came to an end last week when the United Network folded operations for lack of cash. “The Las Vegas Show’’ was the first attraction of a proposed fourth network headed by former ABC boss Oliver Treyz. It turned out to be the last attraction as weU, "This appears to be the definite case of ‘the operation was a success, but the patient died’,’’ said Dana in a post-mortem interview. "I can only ascribe the failure of the enterprise to the consummate naivete on the part ot4he backers. The whole thing went against all principles of sound fiscal policy. Even, if you open a candy store, you should have enough capitalization to last more than three or four weeks.’’ United Network folded after a month of oparation, and its passing was lamented by those who welcomed its promise as competition to the monolithic programming of the Big Three.) Dana feels the failure could have been avoided. ‘If they had blown the whistle earlier, I think the whole operation could have been saved,’’ said the comedian whose portrayal of Jose Jimigez has overshadowed his other accomplishments as writer theySteve Allen show — and producer — the Milton Berle show. He argued that the Las Vegas show was perfectly sound on the basis of cost-per-thousand—a Madison Avenue term reflecting the ratio of production charges vs. the audience delivered. Audience surveys, said Dana, showed that tee program was delivering ah audience of 2,600,-000, a respectable figure consid- ering its estimated $180,000! weekly cost, not deluding tele-1 phone line charges. I 'W * . * . . I ‘The backers made the mis-| take of beginning the show in{ the last quarter of the advertis-i Ing budget cycle, when little new T)utlay is being made,” he I said. “Even so, we were' beginning to pick up. After the third week, we were getting sponsorship from Colgate, General Foods and General Mills. And just a day before the cancellation, the mighty J. Walter Thompson was coming in.” But, said Dana, United Network’s “tremendous undercapitalization” could not sustain the continuing costs.

Many people just didn’t understand why anyone would leave a position laden with prestige and status to face the tasks of working in a Negro college in the Deep South. ' Dean Monro gave the answer. “I want to disassociate myself from any idea that this is a sacrifice,” he said. “I see it as a job of enormous reward.” He set an example other educators should follow. a new curriculum for freshmen and a program of grooming high school student for college work. stands alone Miles is-the only college ac-cessit^ to Negrp students in the Birmingham area. Most of them attended the segregated hig school which has a student body of 4,000. About half the Negro college students in the Country — lOO, 000 — attend predominately Negro colleges. Many of them ate doing so at great sacriflce to their families and their own efforts to help others often keep them from qpntinuing their own education; The challenge of deeply influencing the course of education in colleges whose student bodies come from backgrounds of poverty and segregation is far more rewarding to men whose intellectual vigor is matched by their sense of moral justice than teaching in our established and prestigious institutions. Miles College is an excellent example of the important work being done by the Negro colieges in the South.
