(?P)—The United States threw its support last night behind an Asian-African plan for peace in the Congo. U.S. Chief Delegate Adlai E. Stevenson urged the 11-nation Security Council to ap prove an Asian-African resolution authorizing use of force by the United Nations, if needed, as a last resort to stop civil war in the Congo. Stevenson's appeal came after Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold announced the Parade Committee Names Float Rules Hundreds of feet of chicken wire and thousands of colored tissues will be transformed into some phase of "The American Heritage" on April 28, the date set for the Spring Week float parade. Packets containing applications and information will be avialable at the Hetzel Union desk at the end of this week for fra ternities. sororities and independ ent groups wishing to enter the parade, Robert Polishook, co chairman of the Float Parade, said yesterday. The packet will contain post cards on which groups should put their first and second cate gory choices. The cards should be mailed to the Float Parade committee by March 6, Poli shook said. It is not necessary to have the same category for a float as for a carnival skit. Categories and themes will be given on a "first come first served" basis, Polishook said. Groups will be notified imme diately as to what category they will be in, Polishook said. Then they should plan their floats and submit final drawings to the HUB desk by March 20, he said. Floats should be no longer than 24 feet and no wider than 12 feet. They should be no high er than 15 feet from the ground. There are no minimum require. ments. Any animal or motor may be used to supply power to pull the floats. If, however, an animal causes delay or disturbance in the parade, the float will be disquali fied. If a vehicle pulling a float is underneath the construction, it must be included in the overall dimensions. If a vehicle is not under the float, it will not be (Continued on page five) at the HUB asking the state Legislature to increase the appro priation to the University for the next fiscal year.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE executions in southern Kasai province of associates of the slain Congo ex-premier Patrice Lu mumba. The U.S. delegate said the Asian-African proposal was the only practical measure before the council. "It is obvious that any Security Council resolution calling for a United Nations act must be car ried out by the secretary-gener al," Stevenson said. The big question was whether the Soviet Union would veto the proposal. Such action would re sult in demands for an immediate session of the U.N. General As sembly. Stevenson said also there was merit in a suggestion from Li beria that the council meet in the Congo, but only after action was taken here for restoration of law and order. He said such a move would "put the United Nations in Afri ca with dramatic impact," and the U.S. Air Force might sup ply the transportation. Ceylon, the United Arab Re public and Liberia sponsored the Congo peace plan which had sup port of a large segment of Asian- African nations. The same three nations put in another resolution demanding that the council condemn politi cal assassinations and call upon authorities in Leopoldville, Elisa bethville and Kasai "immediate ly to put an end to such prac tices." The resolution asked U.N. authorities in the Congo to take all possible measures, including use of force, to prevent occur rence of such outrages. It sought also an investigation and pun- ishment of those responsible for the killings. Delegates of the three nations asked priority for their latest resolution. In addition, George Padmore, delegate from Liberia, said he was prepared to introduce anoth er resolution calling for a council meeting in the Congo, or a neigh boring Congo country. The Soviet Union blamed Ham marskjold for the new killings. Hours for Chatter Dates Will Not Include Breaks Hours for evening sorority chat ter dates have been changed slightly from the way they appear on the IBM cards, Panhellenic Rush Chairman Marcia H• rit.M an nounced yesterday, The correct hours are 6:30 to 7:15 p.m.,7:15 to 8 p.m., 8 to 8:45 p.m. an 8:45 to 9:30 p.m. The IBM invitations allowed for a 10- minute break between chatter dates which has been eliminated, Miss Hamm said.

After :all students are back in the prop er rooms every possible effort will be made to adjust the living arrangements to everyone's best advantage, she said.

The young West Virginia basketball coach sends his Mountaineers against Penn State tonight minus the services of high-scoring Rod Thorn. Thorn, who is averaging 20 points per game, will miss tonight's Rec Hall contest (8 p.m.) due to an ankle injury suffered against Pitt Saturday. ' "His ankle was pretty weak so we decided to leave him at home," King said. "We hope he's ready for George Washington this.week end." Heavy Rain Due Tonight, Tomorrow A storm system that is load ed with moisture is expected to bring heavy rain to Penn sylvania tonight and early tomorrow, raising the threat of floods in many areas of the state. The precipitation may begin as snow or sleet early today, but only minor accumulations are pre dicted and the rain that follows will quickly wash away any frozen precipitation that does fall. The rain and warm weather that was common to all areas of the state during the weekend caused much of the snow to melt. However, considerable snow re mains in the mountainous areas. In fact, 8 to 15 inches of water soaked snow and ice still cover the higher terrain. This snow and ice represent a serious flood threat and the heavy rains of tonight and tomor row morning may melt enough snow to set off a severe flood. In any event, it appears that minor flooding will occur along all of the smaller streams and rivers during the next two days. The storm system, which is re sponsible for the forecast of heavy precipitation, is heading towards this area from the western Gulf of Mexico. Rainfall amounts along its path are expected to be quite heavy, possibly 3 to 4 inches in some areas. One to three inches of rain should fall in Pennsylvania in the next 36 hours. The local forecast calls for cloudy skies and cold weather ,for today with snow or sleet be ginning this morning and chang ing to rain during mid-day. To day's high temperature should be near 35 degrees. Rain, probably heavy at times, and slowly rising temperatures are expected tonight and early tomorrow. The precipitation IN ill end to morrow, but skies rhould remain cloudy and temperatures are ex pected to be rather mild. bers of the dean cf women's staff and the Department of Housing with the housing chair man from sororities affected by the problem.

At that lime Thorn was bedded down with the flu. The sophomore sensation was sorely missed last Tuesday and when King thinks of Penn State's home-court advantage tonight he suddenly grows pale. In addition to the home-court advantage, the Lions have a few other things working for them. The most important is Mark DuMars' return to the Penn State lineup. DuMars, who lost his scoring lead to Gene Harris over the weekend when he missed the Colgate-Syracuse road trip, IS healthy again after a bout with the grippe. Without him, State lost to Col -1 gate, 80-72, and Syractise, 63-61. DuMars usually saves his best performances for the Mountain eers and has scored 119 points against them during his career. The law of averages also will be working for State tonight. During the past three years. they have just missed upsetting the highly-ranked West Vir ginians in Bee Hall end their luck is about due for a change. In 1957 State lost, 74-71; in 1958 it was 89-91 in overtime ;and last season the Lions dropped a 75-73 thriller. .
