Offices in Graham Memorial Machinists Quit Work At Defense And Space Plants Government May Use Talf-Hartlev Action mi WASHINGTON (UPI) Union machinists went on strike Wednes day at Lockheed aircraft installa tions from Cape Canaveral to Ha waii slowing down a substantial part of the nation's defense and space prodution. The government immediately considered involking the Taft-Hartley law to halt the walkout At least 55,000 workers could be afiected in the strike callpd bv the International Association of Machinists (IAM). While the country's main space port at Canaveral and a factory in Honolulu were involved, the focal point of the strike was Cal ifornia, where Lockheed has a number of its biggest installations. The union called the strike aft er a midnight deadline passed with negotiators deadlocked on a union shop issue. The Defense Department said federal officials were considering use of Taft-Hartley, under which President Kennedy could order the walkout halted for 80 days of "cooling off." A Pentagon spokseman said the Povprnmpnr asn wa cnirivinrf "alternate means of production," along with possible action to re quire that any new contracts be tween th machinists and the Lock heed Aircraft Corp. be subject to approval of the Army, Navy and Air Force secretaries. Rep. Gerald R. Ford Jr., R Mich., said the Defense Depart ment's policy apparently was aim ed, in his opinion, at bludgeoning Lockheed management into capi tulating on the union shop issue. He released copies of a letter in which he asked Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to clarify the department's position. Federal Mediator WTilIiam E. Simkin4 who has been in Califor nia trying to mediate the dispute, said he would report to the Presi dent on the status of negotiations. Lockheed has refused to accept the union's demand for compul sory union membership, or its al ternate request for an employee vote on the issue. Company spokes men said a union shop could force 14,000 workers to either 3m the IAM orl ose their jobs. Kennedy had recommended ac ceptance of the union shop vote throughout the aerospace indus try, as urged by a government appointed board. The President said anv walkout on the issue would be the responsibility of the company involved. Lockheed is one of the country's biggest defense contractors. Among other things, it builds the Polaris missile and several types of war planes. It also handles a number of items important to the space program, including the Agcna up per stage for the Ranger moon vehicle.

The committee, one of the lar gest in student government groups, selected the projects from about a ciozen different capital improve ment items the University wil ask from the legislature. "I believe that most students will agree that these two projects are pretty necessary," committee chairman Bill Hoyle of Greens boro said when the group approv ed the projects recently. The student committee will lobby for passage of the two items dur ing the legislative session open ing in Raleigh in January, Hoyle said. I hey were among the projects requested by the University admini stration before the Advisory Bud get Commission earlier this fall The commission will prepare the state's biennial budget which will be submitted to the legislature for approval. Both the items are expected to be in the advisory budget when it is presented to the Assembly, Hoyle said. Members of the committee are already working on a pamphlet to be presented to the members of the legislature. Another project calls for a letter-writing campaign to each member of the assembly. he said. Hoyle said a "small working core ot the committee will meet with Chancellor William B. Aycock Dec. 11 to discuss plans for coord inating the activities of student and 1 university lobbyists. 1FC And PiKA Heads Agree Tiiat Censorship In Order Jim Dillashaw, President of thei mittee to censor future parades, Interfrateraity Council, and Ronny Butler, President of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, were asked to comment last night on the Dean of Men's action to censor student parades. Dillashaw said that although he does feel some central committee should be set up to review the parades, it should be a student committee rather than adminis tration one. The IFC president said he is in agreement with the Dean of Men that something should be done to prevent similar happenings in the future. Butler, whose fraternity spon sors the parade, said that he also had been notified by Dean Long of the action to be taken by the administration Butler said that his fraternity had been very concerned about the recent parade and had already drawn up a proposal for a com 14 ! 5. s ! ' 4' .4 ti ,m r& x Planned "I believe we have a pretty good chance of getting approval of the Woollen Gym addition this time," Hoyle told members of his com mittee recently. Both the projects were approved by the legislature during its last session and were placed in the university improve ments section of last November's bond referendum. However, that bond issue was turned down, as were all other bond proposals. The addition to the gymnasium would provide a 9,400-seat auditori um, which could be used for bas ketball games, as well as stage programs. It would have perman ent seating on three sides and roll away bleachers on the stage side. Officials have estimated it would cost $1,230,000. Memorial Hall, the largest audi torium on campus, seats only 1,640, a fraction of the Carolina student body. The undergraduate library-student center is the more costly of the two and would cost an estimat ed $3,315,000. It would replace .the 31-year-old Graham Memorial and would be built between Lenoir Hall and Wilson Library. In addition to the undergraduate library, the center would contain meeting facilities for student or ganizations, a bookstore, a postal sub-station and a snack bar. It would be completely air-conditioned and would contain 173,328 square feet of floor space. While the committee is making plans to lobby the State Legisla ture in Raleigh, it will also be lobbying the Carolina Student Leg islature. Hoyle said his committee will ask the students to appro priate $200 Thursday so the com mittee can begin financing its ac tivities. but that the proposal would prob- ably be dropped, since there was no further need for it. Butler said that he felt that there should definitely be members of the faculty on the committee, and that it was not essential for stu dents to serve as censors. The Pika proposal would have included one faculty member, the fraternity's president, and the chairman of the parade.

Mikoyan in their talks here Thursday that progress on Berlin and other critical cold war issues depends on some more pos itive diplomatic approaches from the Kremlin. U. S. officials said Wednesday that the principal purpose of the 4:30 p.m. session at the wnite House is to try to tie up some of the loose ends of the Cuban crisis. The major issue remaining be tween Moscow and Washington is the fulfilment of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's pledge to per mit international inspection to prove he has pulled all his of fensive weapons out of the island. Administration officials acknow ledged, however, that the discus sions, which will be attended by secretary of State Dean Rusk, could range over other East-West issues if Mikoyan brings them up. They said Kennedy is willing to discuss cold war peril points but has no intention of doing any negotiating with Mikoyan. The fact that Mikoyan is close to Khrushchev and the Soviet pre mier's ace trouble-shooter has let to some speculation that he may be impowered to discuss in some depth problems such as Berlin and disarmament. Most high officials believe, how ever, that he is on a "fishing ex pedition" to get a firsthand as sessment for Khrushchev of Ken nedy's mood in the wake ' of the Caribbean affair. If that is true, they added, Mikoyan will find no admission here that Kennedy owes Khrushchev a reward for remov ing his nuclear threat from the southern flank of the United States. The soft lines from Moscow at present .is considered - here the forerunner .of an' all-out Soviet "Deace offensive" designed to lull the West into complacency and exploit ever present Allied differ ences to try to wring some Dasic concessions on crucial issues. The Communist line is that Kennedy owes Khrushchev some thing in return for Soviet remov al of offensive weapons from Cuba.. Officials point out that this Red argument ignores the fact that there would have been no peril of war over Cuba in the first place if the Soviet leader had not tried to slip nuclear capable weapons into strategic positions 3ust " tne U. S. coast. On the question of inspection to make certain all Russian offensive missiles are gone and the Soviet of the Dec. 22 deadline Khrush chev promised, Mikoyan will find jet bombers removed by the end no softening in Kennedy's atti tude. The United States continues to insist that it will have to main tain close aerial and naval surveil lance until there is some form of reliable verification and an agreed process guaranteeing against re introduction of the weapons.

Six WC .students argued the issues of continued NSA mem bership at the required-attendance meeting. According to Virginia Harmon, WC delegate to the 15th National Student Congress last summer, the main issues involved were not political. She said the opponents to continued membership were con cerned about NSA's value on their particular campus. iMus Donahue, former editor o the "Carolinian," was cne of the debators against WC"s membership. She maintained that NSA had haa dynamic leadership at WC in the past, and had not made appreci able contributions to the campus Other opposition debators were Charlotte Vestal, student legisla tor, and Kav Mull, senior hous president. It was stated that NSA on a national level had become active in too many fields, and was unable to be effective in all. The debators favoring NSA lnem bership were Judy Awskew, NSA Coordinator Patsy Thaxton, mem ber of NSA committee; and Mis? Harmon. They defended the As sociation against charges, and naintained "that NSA's potential was too preat for WC to pore. Four UN'C students spoke at a meeting Monday night at WC in favor of NSA membership. They were Harry DeLuns. Ann Lupton. Ford Rowan, and Diane Hile.

Long told the DTH last night the ad ministration had set up a com mittee to "review for approval" all "public parades, displays and presentations" prior to the event. The action came "principally" as a result of criticism of the re puted bad taste of the "Beat Dook" parade Nov. 20, he said. Long said "letters of censure" would be sent to 7 to 10 fraterni ties and one dormitory for their "gross" floats in the "Beat Dook" parade. He declined to name the recipients of the letters at this time. The 4-person review committee will be composed oi representa tives from the offices of Men and Women, and two faculty members chosen by the Dean of Student Affairs. The committee will pay particular attention to the Home coming Weekend displays and the Sima Chi Derby, as well as the "Beat Dook" parade. "Should an offensive presenta tion occur," Long said, "this com mittee will make a recommenda tion to the Dean of Student Affairs for appropriate disciplinary ac tion." ..The Dean of Men said there had been "other provocations" leading to the establishment of the com mittee, but "the great weight of influence was the Beat Dook f parade." Long said the administration felt "there has been no respon sible student control and some control has to be exercised. "There has been a maximum opportunity for students to control these affairs, but it has not been done," he said. The office of student affairs has photographs of every "offensive" float, Long said. The identities of the float sponsors who received letters wil be released today. Long said he and other adminis trative officers had received sev eral letters objecting to the parade. There have been several editorials in state newspapers on the subject. Long's full, official statement reads: "Until further notice all public parades, displays and presenta tions 'especially the "Beat Dook" parade, Homecoming Weekend and the Sigma Chi Derby) will be re viewed for approval prior to the event by an administrativte faculty committee consisting of a representative from the Dean of Men's office, a representative from the Dean of Women's office, and two faculty members. Should an offensive presentation occur, this committee will make a recom mendation to the Dean of Student Affairs for appropriate disciplinary action." cision of the Elect:-'- " r -he Constitutional Counc.l."

The Constitutional Council, which has sole jurisdiction over matters involving the legality of the Stu dent Constitution, will convene Monday night to decide whether or r.ot to uphold the Elections Board decision concerning the legality of the Election Law in a re-election.
