WASHINGTON (UPI)-A grant of $9,000 to Prentice, under the accelerated Public Works program was announced Thursday by U.S. Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis. He said the federal funds will be used for construction of a sanitary sewer costing a total of $18,000 which would provide 11 man months of labor. In the White House and State Department she is reaarded as a shrill-voiced gadfly and trouble maker whose long record of bitter attacks on the United States has had the result chieflv of building up antagonism to the ANN ARBOR.

When she finally reaches the "Negroes are coming to Sheboygan just as surely as Christmas is coming next December," Spencer Hildahl, chairman of the Lakeland College Sociology Department, told the Sheboygan Evening Optimist Club Thursday night. "We have to assume, whether people accept the fact or not, that Sheboygan is going to have a population that in- eludes Negroes and other mi-' nority groups in fs i the not too dis-; tant future. American lake ports handed a record 40 million tons of import-export cargo in 1962, the Great United States on her present trip to the West, officials said, Mrs.

The cargo was valued at close to $1.5 billion, also a record. The commission said last vear's By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON officials have decided on a policy of chill correctness the polite cold shoulder for dealing with Mrs. Ngo Dinh Nhu when she arrives in the United States.

"Nobody wants to get involved in the shouting match with a pretty woman," one diplomat said in commenting on the bitterly critical First Lady of South Viet Nam. "You can't win anything that way." The rejoinder made Thursday by Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge to Mrs. Nhu's attack on U.S. servicemen fighting communism in her country was prompted by morale considerations rather than by any readiness to engage in public debate with her, informants here said. Mrs.

Nhu, wife of the powerful brother of South Viet Nam's bachelor president, Ngo Dinh Diem, had denounced what she called junior officers of the U.S. military mission for "acting like little soldiers of fortune." Lodge said in Saigon that the Americans are engaged in a struggle with Communist guerrilla forces and "should be thanked and not insulted." "These junior officers are risking their lives every day," he said. "It is incomprehensible to me how anyone can speak so cruelly." In Rome later Mrs." Nhu again figures compared with 36.6 mil own ruling family. If she asks to lion tons of cargo worth $1.1 bil speaK with anyone at the State Department she will be directed lion which was handled in 1961. The sociologist said Sheboygan's ideas on race are "very rigid." "It is true people have fears they are real fears to them but they are unfounded.

If Sheboygan can face up to it you should bring in Negroes at all economic levels." Prof. Hildahl suggested that it would be a wise move to "bring in" an outstanding Negro family "to show people in the community that they are the same as themselves, that they enjoy the same things you do." One Optimist suggested that one way to do this would be to hire a Negro teacher. "Our school board hires 39 to 40 new teachers every year why not hire a Negro teacher?" the Optimist asked. "If you can get an outstanding Negro teacher, he can do a great deal by example to erase some of the mistaken ideas people have," Prof. Hildahl said.

The Lakeland teacher predicted that this country would have many more Little Rocks, Birm-inghams and Ole Misses "before this very difficult traumatic adjustment is completed. "That's why I suggest, that with education, the traumatic experience can be minimized in One result which seems certain but which had been anticipated before the McNamara-Taylor mis sion was announced a week ago would be a shakeup in personnel in the mission in South Viet Nam. Angry dissension over relations between the Diem government and the Kennedy administration and how far the United States should go in trying to force Diem to get rid of his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, has spread the various agencies serving in the U.S. group. Officials here have been saying privately for some time a number of changes undoubtedly will ba made.

On the major policy question it appears that McNamara and Taylor have about three choices. They can find that the waf prospect for the future is not good and that radical changes will hava to be made by the Diem government, which would undoubtedly mean that the United States would press Diem hard to oust Nhu. At the other extreme they could find that the anti-Communist fight is going well, promises to continue so and that the United States should not rock the boat any more so far as Diem is concerned. Some authorities here look for a middle ground recommendation along the line that the war effort is going reasonably well and that it has survived the recent Buddhist crisis without too much dam age but that policy reforms ars needed to rebuild a popular base for Diem's regime. Officials said that these ques tions will be decided without regard to Mrs.

Nhu's shrill cries of displeasure at the United States. They think she is smart not to have made any move so far to try to see top U.S. officials. They do not expect that she will apply for any high level conference when she gets here. to an official at one of the lower levels of policymaking.

But no one wishes to confer a kind of cheap martyrdom on her bv mak "This is just as certain as next Christmas. The question now is what can Sheboygan do to prepare ing it appear that she was com Prof. Hildahl MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) Three Wisconsin county agricultural agents were among 112 honored by the National Association of County Agricultural Agents here Thursday night. Distinguished service awards were presented to Hugh Alberts of Rock County, John Buchholz of Manitowoc County and Jerome Reidy of Jefferson County. The awards were presented on the basis of merit, outstanding work and professional pletely turned away or denied any hearing at all.

So far as the major issues of policy in the continuing Vietnamese crisis are concerned, Mrs. Nhu is regarded as buzzing about address revealed genuine interest among Optimists for answers, suggestions and direction in coming to grips with the racial issue. One Optimist disagreed with Prof. Hildahl that Negroes, generally, feel inferior as a result of racial discrimination. He said he thought Negroes were "carefree and happy-go-lucky." In an attempt to demonstrate the degenerating effect of racial prejudice, Prof.

Hildahl asked Optimists to think how one of their members, Mr. would feel if, through prior arrangement, all other members ignored Mr. X. "Just ignore him don't speak to him, don't answer his questions. Ostracize him.

Then think of him leaving this meeting and going elsewhere to be ignored and going to work tomorrow and being belittled by his boss. How would he feel?" Prof. Hildahl admitted the example was superficial "but it suggests slightly how the Negro feels at being rejected." The sociologist stated that studies and statistics prove that Negroes feel very inferior and rejected as a result of racial discrimination. As a result, he said, mental disorders are more prevalent among Negroes. One Optimist claimed that loan requirements of the Federal Home and Housing Agency will force Sheboygan to sell homes to Negroes "and when that happens the lid is going to blow off." The same Optimist asserted that present city officials deny that Sheboygan has an ordinance preventing Negroes from living in Sheboygan.

But, he claimed, Sheboygan adopted such an ordinance in 1887 "that no Negroes will be housed in Sheboygan and it is still on the books." (Editor's Note: Any such ordinance would be clearly unconstitutional and unenforceable.) Prof. Hildahl said that too often the real problems without actual ly being involved with them. The decision for Lodge to answer her His examples of racial discrimination involved, for the most part, treatment of African students at Lakeland College. "Racial discrimination in Sheboygan is not imagined. But, 1 hasten to add, Sheboygan is not much different than most cities in the United States.

And this shows that most communities have much to do," Prof. Hildahl said. He said he did not think that Sheboygan has a moral obligation to "bring Negroes in." "This wouldn't solve anything. But I do think any community has an obligation to make the people of any race or religious creed to feel welcome and equal when they do come," he said. Mr.

Hildahl said he could safely assume that Negroes would not receive equal treatment in Sheboygan at the present time. He said the important consideration, however, is, "What can be done to eliminate prejudice in Sheboygan?" Prof. Hildahl commended the Evening Optimist Club for its "degree of sympathy and concern regarding race relations" and for "calling a spade a spade." Educational Cooperation He said it will be groups like the Optimist Club "that are now taking a responsible look at race relations" which can do most to prepare Sheboygan for a calm and serene "practical conclusion." "Community organizations such as yours must spearhead this educational process to prepare the people of Sheboygan for the day when minority groups come." "What specifically can you do?" Prof. Hildahl then stated that most prejudices and discriminations are based on real fears people have but fears based on fallacies and misconceptions. He said most people regard the Negro as dirty, dishonest and oversexed.

"These things are not true they are misconceptions, fallacies! "You have to do as much as possible to educate yourselves and others to dispell these fallacies, these erroneous differences between Negroes and whites." is cited as an example.

They will report to President Kennedy on the outlook for success of U.S. operations in Viet Nam and presumably recommend measures which they may consider necessary to brighten the chances of victory. for it?" Prof. Hildahl, the second in a series of five guest speakers on America's number one domestic issue racial equality spoke Thursday on the subject: "An Outsider Looks at Discrimination in Sheboygan." The Rev.

Ruben G. Gross-huesch, pastor of Ebenezer United Church of Christ, was the first of five speakers last week. He spoke on "The Black Muslims." Emmanual Bonsa, the 22-year-old Lakeland student from Ghan-na, Africa, who was severely beaten by a group of white men in Alabama earlier this month, will be the Optimist speaker next Thursday. The fourth speaker, scheduled for Oct. 10, will be Theodore Mack, a Negro social worker from Milwaukee, who will talk on "The American Revolution of 1963." The fifth and final speaker, Oct.

17, will be the Rev. Harold A. Colenbrander, pastor of Hope Reformed Church here. Local Discrimination Prof. Hildahl cited specific examples of racial discrimination in Sheboygan to support his assertion that "some discrimination does exist in Sheboygan as it does in my home town (Lawler, Iowa) and as it does in most cities in the United States." Sheboygan's manifestation of racial discrimination is not open hostility, "but it is there and it is unmistakable," the sociologist said.

(AP) Ex-President Dwight D. Eisenhower returned to Newport and unveiled a stone marker in a park named in his honor. Scores shouted "Welcome home, Ike." Eisenhower expressed pleasure and surprise at the welcome at what he thought "would be just a quiet unveiling." Immediately after the afternoon ceremony, Eisenhower returned to his farm at Gettysburg, Pa. Eisenhower established a summer White House at Newport in 1957, 1958 and 1960.

But he claimed that Negroes, generally, are in the lowest economic status and their undesirable characteristics are a result of their low economic status, other conditions and lack of opportunity not their race.

Sit. ed that civic groups could sponsor inter-racial programs involving educational films, panel discussions, community discussions "and making use of qualified speakers on the reasons for prejudices and discriminations." He said many popular misconceptions about Negroes can be dispelled completely, and those "held very severly can be tapered off." Prof. Hildahl said Sheboygan has many resources with which to work on this problem. He praised Sheboygan as "a city that cooperates if it gets interested enough." 'The Time Is Now' "The time to do something is now," he warned.

"With responsible action and support, I am confident Sheboygan will come to a human readiness to accept race minorities into this community minorities who can and will contribute to this community."
