presidents and a general counsel who report directly to him Vice chancellors on each campus will have various areas of responsibility and will work not only with their chancellor but with the vice

U-T' He said will give added emphasis not only to the total university with its statewide obligations but also to the unique characteristics and responsibilities of each of U-T's campuses The new system is similar to that in many states the closest being North Carolina The most important changes on the Knoxville scene include the designation of Vice President Edward Boling as acting president

auditing purchasing and nonacademic personnel administration Directs Studies Dr Johnson who has been executive assistant to Dr Holt Measure Sent to LBJ Prompt Signing Expected WASHINGTON June 21-The Senate passed and sent to President Johnson today the long-debated bill adding a 10 per cent surcharge to individual and corporation income taxes and ordering a $6 billion Federal spending cut The roll-call vote was 64 to 16 The Senate vote completed congressional action on the first Federal income tax increase since 1951 at the time of the Korean War Johnson is expected to sign the bill into law promptly Aimed at Aiding Dollar The spending cuts ordered by Congress for the first time in more than a century were a bitter pill for Johnson to swallow But he stated earlier that he would accept them if this was the price he had to pay for a tax hike The Senate approved the big package aimed at cooling the overheated economy and protecting the dollar from foreign attack encouraged by mounting US budget deficits The House approved the pro posal in form of an agreement hammerc mmered out by a House-Senate conference committee by a 268-to-150 roll-call vote yesterday after both Republican and Democratic leaders backed by Johnson pointed out its urgent need Makes Appeal Voting yes were 154 Democrats and 114 Republicans Opposed were 77 Democrats and 73 Republicans In a last-minute appeal to the House Johnson said in a letter that the hour is here and the time has come to help America sustain the unparalleled record of unbroken prosperity of the past 88 months' The President followed this up immediately after the vote with a statement commending the House and noting that he had See SENATE Page 2 Vote Registration Op Tomorrow Voters can register tomorrow in special Saturday hours from 8

the Tennessee Highway Department said He said the two-mile section for westbound traffic from Asheville Highway to Rutledge Pike is not complete but that final paving was done yesterday He said traffic is being allowed on the highway to relieve traffic congestion on Rutledge Pike and nearby streets Mr McAmis said there are still some guardrails and signs to be erected in addition to other minor jobs before the portion will be complete The eastbound roadway of this stretch of 1-40 has been open for some months With westbound opening the Interstate is complete for use from near the eastern city limits of Knoxville to near Rockwnod and from west of Crossville all the way to Memphis except for a few miles in Nashville Some 12 miles of HO are also in use from west of Dand ridge to Newport could retire at full salary Some friends of the chief justice believe one factor in die i i of Warren's reported move was his desire to maintain the present liberal complexion of the court Might Be Nixon By stepping down now he would enable Johnson to fill the vacancy If he waited the question of a successor would be up to the new president to be chosen in November These friends thought Warren had in mind the possibility that new president might be former Vice President Richard Nixon toward whom Warren has been cool for many years Warren's relations with Nixon have amounted to a feud There was a point when the two were not on speaking terms according to friends of the chief justice Rumors of Wsrren's impending retirement began to surface several months ago At that time it was reported that Johnson was considering as a successor Arthur Goldberg then ambassador to the United Nations and a former Supreme Court justice Later Resigned Goldberg subsequently re signed the UN post in a rather chilly exchange with the President which might preclude any consideration of him to head the court at this time Foremost among those mentioned as likely to succeed Warren as Chief Justice if Johnson makes the choice is Justice Abe Fortas a longtime and very close confidant of the President who appointed him to the court During 15-vear tenure as the nation's 14th chief justice he often has come under bitter personal attack because of some of the decisions The John Birch Society and other groups have called for his impeachment Disputed en Crime These outcries have died down to some
