Tax Seen Key
To Budget Hike
Hep. Robert H. Breon Jr. (R.-
Centre) and Sen. Jo Hays (D.-
Centre and Clearfield) agreed
yesterday that an increase in the
University's appropriation must
be accompanied by a tax levy of
some sort.
Breon said he would support
any appropriation recommended
by the Joint House-Senate Com r
mittee so long as it conforms to
the limitations of the present tax
program. He added that he does
not see where the Legislature
will get the money to support a
higher increase in the Univer
sity’s appropriation.
Breon said he was surprised by
Hays’ Tuesday proposal to raise
the appropriation from the
House’s - figure of $33,849,000 to
$35,129,000. Gov. George M. Lead
er originally recommended a.fi
gure of $27,713,000.

Tower Chimes
'Ring In DST
1 Day Early
Daylight Saving Time isn’t
scheduled to begin until tomor
row, but the chimes in the tower
of Old Main, affected by unsea
sonal warm weather, “jumped the
gun” to ring an hour early yes
terday morning.
Scheduled to go on at 8 a.m.,
the chimes, because of a slip in
the mechanism, began ringing
ah hour earlier, prematurely
waking at least one borough
resident, who phoned the Uni
versity's utilities division to
register a mild complaint.
Even though the chimes feel
•differently, Daylight Saving Time
will begin at 2 a.m. tomorrow.
For those still up at that time,
clocks'in Centre County munici
palities, including State College,
should be set ahead one hour, to
3 a.m.
Most of the county will revert
to Eastern Standard Time on
Sept. 29, but the borough will
remain on DST until Oct. 27,
partly to accommodate some Uni
versity functions, particiularly
football games.
The "premature'' chimes were
off-schedule all yesterday
morning, until they were ad
justed by H. E. Byers, assistant
to the head of the utilities divi
sion.
The chimes are controlled by
a clock mechanism involving a
set of disks. The disks revolve
and activate the chimes at quar
ter-hour intervals. Part of the
time yesterday, the slipped disks
caused the chimes to strike a full
hour and a quarter ahead.

AMMAN, Jordan, April 26 (fP) —King Hussein placed
Jordan under a military governor today and launched a de

The Arab Legion, the King’s loyal and predominantly
Bedouin army, began a roundup of Communists, left-wing
leaders and extreme nationalists,

Hussein’s new premier, 69-year

the developments which have
been rocking Jordan for nearly
three weeks.
Wins Temporary Victory
The 21-year-old King, winner
of at least a temporary victory in
the second round of a struggle for
his throne, left little doubt in any
of the Arab leaders’ minds that
he considers his primary job at
this time to be die crushing of
any further attempts at Commu

As military governor for the

Any type of publicity involving
