.011 r Etatig VOL. 61. No. 107 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING: MARCH 23. - 1961 FIVE CENTS Fire, Smoke Rip Through Pizza Shop Home Delivery at 129 S. Pugh St., one of the commun ity's oldest and largest pizza palaces, went up in flames at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Bower Moore, chief of the Al pha Fire Company, said last night that the fire caused "extensive damage to the building and con tents." However, 'some of the equipment, although damaged, can probably be repaired, Moore said. Volunteer firemen from Al pha Fire Co., equipped with gas masks and wrecking poles, had to break into the locked build ing in order to fight the blaze. No one was in the shop, which was scheduled to open at 5 p.m. Smoke billowed from Home De livery for more than an hour after the firemen arrived. The inside of the shop was completely gutted. The ceiling was burned away in many places and the rafters charred. All windows were smashed by fire hoses and a television set, large wall clock and many other fixtures were melted by the heat. "It must have been pretty hot in here," owner Frank DeFluri said. The fire was probably start ed by one of Home Delivery's ovens, according to Moore. De- Fluri said that he came in and turned on the ovens at 2 o'clock and saw nothing unusual. Moore said that judging from the condition of the ceiling above the ovens, "it appears that the fire caught on there first." estimate of the damage will not be available until later today, according to DeFluri. He said that there was $2OOO worth of meat alone that was ruined in the blaze. "There is also $12,000 worth of equipment in the shop, but we don't know how much it was dam aged," he said. The shop is located in the rear of a priviate residence "which would have gone up in flames if it weren't for fireproof partition ing," DeFluri said. Campus Proposals For Changes Aired Past and present Campus party leaders yesterday filled in the details of their plan to keep political parties as nomi nating groups under the revised SGA and re-emphasized their non-partisan stand. Meanwhile Duane Alexander, head of SGA's Reorganiza- tion Committee, announced that John Brandt's suggestion to "freeze" Assembly until the fall and elect only SGA officers and th- senior class president this spring will probably be adopted by the committee. Alexander said last night that he thought both the Assembly and the University administra tion would see the need for postponing' the election of As sembly representatives. Discussing their political pro posals, Brandt, former chairman of Campus party; Jerome Whit-, ney, former publicity chairman, and Dennis Eisman, the present chairman, explained 'various points of their suggestions. Eisman noted that keeping par ties in the nominating positions would give Assemblymen a "dual loyalty." They would be respon sible to their residence constitu ency and to a party. "When an Assemblyman is con- FOR A BETTER PENN STATE —Collegian Photo by John Heauge HOT PIZZA: Two Alpha firemen wet down an exhaust fan to keep the fire which gutted Home Delivery Pizzeria yesterday from spreading. Dense smoke and a heavy snow squall hampered firemen somewhat in extinguishing the blaze. No complete esti mate of damage has been determined. Assembly to Weigh New Parking Rules SGA Assembly will be asked to "approve and support" a traffic plan tonight which is designed to relieve congestion in the Pollock area. It will be effective Friday and Saturday nights.

Along with this Brandt has suggested that the residence councils pr epar e "impartial lists" for all parties of persons in their areas who would be ca pable of holding Assembly seats. These lists "would in no way be binding," he added. Turning the subject back to elections themselves, Brandt pro posed that the permanent tim for elections to be in the fall. "The people who drew up the constitution don't seem to real ize how transient residence is on this campus. If you have fall elections you'd get candi dates and voters who would ( Continued on page eight) Trergiatt originators of the plan, said yes terday that contrary to an earlier statement he made, the plan will be on a permanent, rather than trial, basis in the Pollock area. Under the plan, traffic will be permitted to move one-way east on Pollock Road between Short lidge and Entrance Roads. One-way traffic north will also be in force on the road imme diately to the east of Simmons and McElwain Halls and east on - the road south of Simmons. This road will be open to En trance Road. These changes will only be ef fective on weekends, but parking lot changes will continue during the week. Parking lots 41, which are lo cated behind Pollock 4 and 5, will be accessible from the west end and must he exited from the east end. At the exits, only right turns will be permitted. In addition, parking lot 46 lo cated behind Pollock A will be entered only from Shortlidge Road and must be left via the road between Pollock and South Halls. The extension of this road, which is unnamed, is now gravel but according to col. William C. Pelton, director of the Department of Security, has been finished enough so that it is usable. Eventually it will be surfaced as an extension of the road parallel to Pollock Road, he said. The plan was originally pre sented to Pelton, who found that the administration was consider ing a similar plan and informed Wharton and Assemblyman Bar bara Watchorn, U.-Soph., another originator, of this, Wharton said.

Kennedy asked Congress yesterday for a sweeping revision of the foreign aid program because "we live at a very special moment in history." The heart of the Presiden half of the globe" on a long-term basis, freeing the President from battling year after year to push foreign aid ,through Congress. He asked for $7.3 billion for a new foreign aid agency to make loans during the next five years, ,mostly to the world's underdevel oped nations. Kennedy did not give a dollar estimate for his total program. But other officials guessed it would come to several times the $7.3 billion earmarked for eco nomic loans during the first five years. For the coming _year, he asked only the $4 billion originally proposed by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his budget. In his message, Kennedy dis played more concern with con cepts than with money. He asked Congress for the biggest overhaul in foreign aid programming since the Marshall Plan started in 1948. Gets ill co-sponsored a House bill for the full appropriations before the tlouse recessed for Easter on Tues day._ Bi-partisan backing was giv en to the bill by its co-sponsor, Rep. Jeannette F. Reibman, 11-Northampton, chairman of the House education committee. This is the second bill for the full appropriations introduced in the legi.dature in the past. three days. Centre County Sen)tor Jo Hays, chairman of the senate Education Committee, introduced a similar bill in the upper houSe on Monday. These bills call for $6 million More than the amount original ly recommended by Gov. David L. Lawrence in his annual budg et message in January. At that time, the governor recommend ed an appropriation of $17.1 mil lion pending the final report of his special committee on higher education. No final action has been taken on any of the governor's educa tion recommendations. However, two weeks ago Rep. Dean J. Pol len, chairman of the House ap propriations committee, intro duced a bill for allotting $18.5 million to the University for the next year. This figure is an 'adjustment of the govern Or's recommendation since the original figure was for a 12-month period and this year's budget will cover a 13-month fiscal year, No action is expected on any of the bills immediately, since the Assembly has recessed until April 4 for the Easter holidays. However, reports from the Associated Press indicate that no action may be taken on any education appropriations during ' this session of the Assembly. The Associated Press said last night that rumors now circu lating in the Assembly chambers hint that the legislature may wait to see what funds for edu cation are granted to the 'state by the Federal government. Even if no action is taken on the education bills, schools and colleges will still receive state appropriations since previous pro visions for these institutions have already been adopted, the Asso ciated Press reported. t's plan: Help to "the southern Kennedy proposed: • A single administrative agen cy, reporting to the president and secretary of state, to take over the functions of the International Cooperation Administration, the Development Loan Fund, the Food-for-Peace group, some branches of the Export-Import Dank and the Peace Corps. • A five-year basis for part of the program. This would in clude five-year authorization for the new agency and author ity for it to borrow directly from the Treasury' to make loans during the next five fiscal years. Kennedy asked that the agency he allowed to borrow $9OO million in the fiscal year beginning .July 1 and $1.6 billion a year in the next four fiscal years. Those loans•would go to under developed countries for up to 50 ; years, with no interest or perhaps law interest, the loans would be repaid in dollars.
