The Nation Detroit Police Plan Televised Confessions • DETROIT. Mich.—Police of Michigan's biggest city outlined a plan to pin down criminal confessions by taping them with television equipment. The confessions could be screened in court, providing visual and oral evidence that the suspect had been fully advised to his constitutional rights, in line with recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings. "We would thus have acceptable proof that a state ment had been made voluntarily and under no duress," said Inspector Albert G. Issac, head of the department's technical services division. An attorney and two judges expressed 'general agree ment with the plan. Sol Dann, a lawyer who helped handle the affairs of the late Jack Ruby, convicted killer of accused presi dential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, said such a tape would be acceptable to him if it were made with the sus pect's knowledge and in the presence of his attorney.

The United Automobile Work ers, AFL-CIO, may scrap President Johnson's wage hike guidelines in contract negotiations with the auto industry next summer, a top official of the union said here yesterday. Martin Gerber, director of Region 9 of the UAW, which takes in more than 15,000 members in New York Pennsyl vania and New Jersey, said the UAW is not so much con cerned with guidelines as with the public welfare. He told a meeting of local union leaders here that "where the guidelines work to the detriment of the public welfare they should be scrapped." President Johnson's Council of Economic Advisers has recommended a 3.2 per cent ceiling for non-inflationary wage increases. • The meeting was held to let leaders of local unions in form negotiator on priorities for goals in next summer's contract talks. Congressmen Oppose Proposed Deactivation INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa.—Proposed deactivation of the XXI Army Reserve Corps headquarters here drew opposition yesterday from congressmen representing this district. Rep. Edwin D. Eshleman, a freshman Republican from Lancaster. said he would write Secretary of Defense Rob ert S. McNamara to protest the move. "Practically 100 per cent of the civilian workers who would be affected reside in Lebanon and Schuylkill coun ties," Eshleman said. "Therefore I have asked Congress- Man Rhodes - to join with me in the protest, and he has 'agreed to do so." More than 1,400 civilian jobs would be affected, in cluding 267 at the XXI Corps headquarters. The facility here costs the government an estimated $903,000, a year. Eshleman questioned whether the phase out here and at other military installations would result in a savings. He noted that many of the jobs-were being transferred from one location to another. Hanoi Wants Peace By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. A recent private U. S. visitor to Com munist North Vietnam urged yes terday that the United States ,end its bombing there as a gamble that might lead to peace negotiations. Harry S. Ashmore, executive vice president of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, who returned Monday from North Vietnam, reported that Hanoi had expressed interest in a "peace •con vocation" in Geneva in May."' Ashmore gave his views' at a news conference announcing the con vocation under the sponsorship of the center, a .private otganization headquartered lat Santa -Barbara, Calif.

He said the question of bomb ing at 'this moment was a critical one and added: "We should take any steps possible to end the war. If I were president, , I certainly would stop the bombing. I am not one of those who are critical of the Presi dent's policy, but I feel that any negotiations call for concessions on both sides." Ashmore, a Pulitzer Prize win ning former editor of The Arkansas Gazette, repeatedly stressed that he was in Hanoi as a private citizen and that he could not in those circum stances talk about peace negotiations as such. But he also stressed that Presi dent Ho Chi Minh and the other North Vietnamese officials he talked with did not mention' North Viet- USG Pas s es Committee ',;:111 By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER and RICKY FIELKE Collegian USG Reporters The Undergraduate Student Government last night waded through a long bill detailing the qualifications and methods for putting student representatives into their seats on, Senate committees and passed it with only minor revisions.

Ashmore . came to his, conclu sion on the advisability of stopping the bombing 'as a result of a series of events connected with the convo cation of a second "Pacem in Terris II" Peace on Earth convocation scheduled May 28 , 31 for Geneva. The first was held in New York in Feb ruary 1965. The convocation is to bring to gether unofficial representatives of both Communist and non-Communist countries. The purpose, he said, is to explore ways of an eventual world peace. Invitation to Discuss Ashmore, told the story of his invitation to Ho Chi Minh in this way. "Last summer when, a group met privately in Geneva to discuss a second Peace on Earth eonvoeation, the planners weighed the possibility of bringing North 'Vietnamese and Protests NDSL Action, WiIF Move For Reversal The Committee on Undergraduate Stu dent Affairs, the most far-reaching commit tee, will have six student representatives. One of these- members must have a 'special competence in the affairs of the branch campuses" of the University, the bill speci fies. The bill also prescribes procedure for impeachment of representatives. According to the' bill, a two-thirds vote of Congress is necesary to impeaCh a representative who has "not presented a representative student viewpoint." In other USG action, Congress passed a resolution protesting the - now extinct NDSL program, recommending -the University re-, apply for the porgyam next year, meanwhile providing "sufficient funds 'for students af fected by the decision." It further asks' that future - major de cisions affecting the academic sphere be made after consultation and consideration of the faculty and students." The $lOO appropriation will be used for public relations work to inform Pennsylvania residents of the University's decision and to laying groundwork necessary for the Uni versity's participation in the NDSL program next year. USG also established CRUEL, Commit tee for the Restoration of University Educa tional Loans, to work towards reinstating the NDSL program. Another bill to expand the membership He cit9d WUS's purpose as establishing an international "student to student te lationship." WUS. he said, is the largest University service organization in the world, with its main base in Geneva. WUS is now established, he said on 900 campuses across the country and operates on a Sl million yearly budget which is usually supplemented by each of the coun tries in which WUS works. Most of the WUS projects, Magid emphasized are initiated "on the spur of the moment" by WUS members. ....Tbe.Rev. Mr. Clegton, a member of the International Cultural Exchange, dealt with the growth of a "cosmopolitan spirit" on campuses across the nation. He enumerated some of the opportunities provided by the University and other in ternationally oriented U.S. institutions for the interested student to work and travel abroad. Although travels costs and the lack of a bi-lingual background often pro hibit the student from obtaining high level jobs and monetary gain, he said, this fact is overshadowed by the learn ing experience of living in another cul ture.

Some 196 former University students, including 84 now overseas, have served in the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps added eight countries to its roster of host nations in 1966, and ex pects to continue expansion, by as many as 10 countries, in 1967. More than 13.000 volunteers currently serve in 52 nations and territories, including about 4,000 in the five largest programs: India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Colombia and Brazil. The 'Past year marked the return of the 10,000 th volunteer to complete service and the dispatch of the 25,000 th to serve over seas. Talks Red Chinese representatives to such a meeting. In attempting to approach the North Vietnamese, application` was made to their embassy in Paris, but the North Vietnamese would not receive an American. The invitation then was extended through the French. A reply came by way of Prague that North Vietnam's attend ance could not be considered at this time:" However, when Ashmore, on the last day of his stay in Hanoi, again presented a formal letter of invita tion directly to Ho, he - received a reply within -24 hours. This reply _said that North Vietnam had the matter "under consideration," al though it could not give an answer "at this time." Ashmore said he felt that this signified at least a change of atti tude.- Ashmore made his Vietnam trip with two other directors of the cen ter, Editor William C. Baggs of the Miami, Fla., News and Luis .Quin tanilla, former Mexican ambassador to the United States. and authority of the Legal Awareness Com mittee was tabled and sent to committee by Kalich's deciding vote in an 11 to 11 vote of Congress on whether such action on the bill should be taken. Conflicting opinions on different points in the_bill prompted the tabling measure for additional study in committee. A major specificntion in the bill was to provide a wit ness frbm the Legal Awareness Committee to any--interviews or hearings a student, in volved in disciplinary action, might have. Town Congressman Bruce Macomber, author of the bill, described it as "guarantee ing the student a basic civil right that every citizen has." In further legislation, Congress passed a revised bill supporting the World University Service Act. Sophomore Class President Jon Fox suggested that Congress withdraw the underwriting of International Awareness Week expenses by USG. USG, said David Zurndorfer. treasurer, backs WUS but cannot afford to support it financially. Zurndorfer explained that this year USG is operating under severe re strictions. It had its budget slashed by 54,500, is currently 52.000 in debt for a Course EvaluatiOn Guide, and is contributing every thing it can to the NDSL drive. "We can't have any fat on the budget," said Zurndorfer. "Everything has got to be cut down." Walker, representitive of AFSC, again emphasized the numerous opportunities for foreign service in his organization. AFSC, he said, last year sent people to 30 different countries- around the world, with the emphasis on Western Europe. He suggested, though, that prospec tive participants in his organization con sider visiting more underdeveloped coun tries such as Mexico where they are con fronted with a "cultural shock." He also mentioned that the student working over seas must avoid becoming involved "in the little Western-oriented communities" which exist in nearly every country. The last speaker. Arthur Miller of the Peace Corps.. said that he "be. , dan as a math major at Penn State, and ended up as a chicken raiser in India." His experience for the last two years in India. he said was so gratifying that he intends to devote his career to foreign study, and doubts that he will ever return to ,his study of mathematics. During International Awareness Week, he said, Peace Corps representa tives will operate six booths on campus and are supplied with 1.000 applications. a~" .'~ German Play Due Monday Eugen Siemsen, as Julius, and Blanca group of Remscheid, West Germany, a small Blancha, as Mother WoMen, star in the Gerhart town near Cologne'. ,The acting company has Hauptmann four-act comedy.

The Spring Arts Fekival Con gress had to seek financial backing from the Department of Architecture, he said, and the Model United Nations had to go to the political science department for money. A bill to establish and Interclass Gov erning Board to "promote a spirit of co ordination. cooperation and communication between the four classes," was passed. The bill provides for the establishment of a board consisting of two representatives from each class•and a chairman, who will vote only. in the case of ties, selected by the respective class presidents with the approval of USG. ‘'The board," said Senior Class President James Huck. "would provide a strong link between classes. By coordinating our efforts, we could achieve a lot more." A bill - to establish a committee to ex amine and evaluate the structure, function, philosophy and practices of the men's disci plinary system" here was passed. Proposed by David Zurndorfer. USG treasurer, the bill, known as The Men's Disciplinary Sys tem Investigation Act. provides for a top to bottom investigation of the men's disci plinary system. Although it is within the realm of the Men's Residence Council to investigate it self, said Zurndorfer, we feel that the type of evaluation needed, one from an objective viewpoint, can best be done by an impartial body such as USG."

New Organization Formed To Protest loan Action By PAT GUROSKY , Collegian Staff Writer Plans for 'protesting the withdrawal of the National Defense Student Loans through a letter writing and peti tion campaign are being named by the newly-formed Com mittee for National Defense Loans. An organizational meet ing will be herd at 7:30 p.m., Jan. 25. in 211 Boucke. According to Bairy Clemson, co-chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee for Student Freedom, which is pioneering the protest, the purpose of the "grass roots committee" is to provide - a vehicle through which students upset by the loan withdrawn can work. The University Board of Trustees voted to ‘vithdraw the loan progiam,: which affects approximately 1,700 stu dents, claiming it put a strain. on. the University budget. Under the National Defense Education Act the Federal Gt!ivernment supplies nine dollars for every one dollar given by the University. This means the University spends approximately $132,000 for every $1,000,000 spent by the Federal Government. Clemson said the committee will be working with the student government groups achieving its goal, and hopes to win the backing of the University Senate. Clemson said plans were being made to set up a letter writing campaign in which students would agile to U.S. Sen. Joseph S. Clark, state legislators and members of the University Board of Trustees protesting the loan with drawal. Also, efforts to circulate a petition are being made by Ed Dench.
