Kennedy Signs
Incorrect Version
Of Bill into Law
WASHINGTON!.^)—II seems
to happen about once a cent
ury. President Kennedy has
signed into law a kill that was
not the correct version of a bill
that passed Congress.
.When it was placed before
him on Oct. 23. the bill was
attested to by the speaker of
the House and the president
of the Senate as being a prop
erly enrolled copy .of the bill
passed by Congress. But it
wasn't. , j
The bill establishes a Court
of General Sessions in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Originally, it
provided that the court should
have subpoena power within a
100-mile radius.
It was amended to limit’ the
power to a radius of 25 miles,
however. 1
But the bill the President got
said 100 miles, not 25. ;
In spile of the mistake, the
bill is now law. To change it.
Congress must pass a new law
when it convenes in. January.
The last lime such' a thing
happened was in the 191 h cent
ury. ;
Town Election Results
Debated by Congressmen
Town area congressmen and
Elections Commission Chairman
George Jackson debated at length
the question of the correct num
ber of town representatives
Wednesday night.
The debate occurred on the
floor at the Undergraduate Stu
dent Government 1 Congress meet
ing after Jackson had presented
his report on the recent USG
elections.
Alan White (town) began the
debate when he asked Jackson
why Allan Wolf, towif congress
man-elect, was : not given the seat
vacated when George Gordon're
signed last week. ■
JACKSON replied that Wolf
had been elected to the seventh
seat, and it is the sixth seat which
Is vacant. ;
The debate then centered
around three seta of area popu
lation figures which Jackson said
he has obtained and his decision
to have .eight men elected but
only six', men seated until ;the
official, figures'hre available.
George Rathmell (town) said
town population last year re
quired eight seats and it seemed
unlikely that there would be a
Transportation Committee Schedules
Chartered Bus Service To 4 Cities
: Chartered non-stop, busses to
four and possibly five population
centers are tentatively scheduled
by the Transportation Committee
to leave the University the day
before Thanksgiving.
.The committee, fn a report to
the Undergraduate Student Gov
ernment Congress Wednesday
night, announced that .service is
planned to Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Harrisburg and New York
City. The committee chairman,
David Wasson, said last night
that service is also being con
sidered to Scranton. J
; The following details were an
nounced at the meeting: i
i • Busses will leave parking lot
50 at 5:30 p.m. Nov/ 2\.
j • Students must purchase
round-trip tickets in advance.
| •The return trip may be made
oh any scheduled Greyhound bus
leaving from the point to which
the student purchased his ticket.
j • Fares will be about 25' per
cent less than usual, or approxi
mately 2.5 cents per mile.
1 Wasson said ticket sales will
probably begin in the Hetzel Un
ion Euilding Tuesday.

decrease of 1,000 students living
downtown this year.
There is an indication, Jackson
answered, that last year a num
ber of fraternity men not living
in fraternity houses were includ
ed in the town population. These
men should not be included in
the town representation, Jackson
said. ,
BURT KAPLAN, the other
town congressman-elect, asked if
it was “ethical to give town men
eight votes in the election and
have them expect.eight seats and
then seat only six.”
*T guess its just a matter of
whose ethics you use,” Jackson
retorted.
“I don’t understand how i you
could run an election for seats
which don’t exist," Kaplan coun
tered.
USG President Dean Wharton
then admonished Congress oh the
length of its discussion. I
"This is what we get our name
for, discussing something that is
in the past. You can’t- get the
figures from Housing now as to
how many men live downtown,”
he said. j
- ITS A MATTER, of opinion,
Wharton continued, whether an
During the report of -the Stu
dent Handbook .editors,- Alan
White (town) requested permis
sion to read a column written by
Joel Myers, editorial editor of
The Daily Collegian, entitled
“The Hollow Men.”
MORRIS BAKER. Congress
chairman and USG vice president,
ruled White’s request out of or
der at that time. White again
attempted to read -the column,
which facetiously criticized- Con
gress, after the, business on Con
gressional agenda had been com
pleted. Again Baker ruled White
out of order.
. White appealed the decision of
the chair, but Congress upheld
Baker's ruling by a vote of 20
to e. i : ■ f
, Congress also approved six ap
pointngehts which had been pre
viously-annouficed, and a seventh
which was changed at the begin
ning of the meeting. Herbert Wit
mer was appointed chairman of
the Committee on Committees
which was formed last week,
rather than J Sharon Kallmann,
who was originally slated for the
position. .

election is run with the lowest or
highest figures obtained as the
base for the number of repre
sentatives for the town area.
On a motion made by Michael
Dzvonik (fraternity) Congress
ended debate and then accepted
Jackson’s report.
Warmer Weather,
Showers Forecast
. Rain is expected in this area
today and tonight, but partial
clearing tomorrow morning
should allow the Penn State-
West Virginia football game to
be played under partly sunny
skies.
The’ rain that was forecast to
begin early today is associated
with an intensifying storm that
is moving .northeastward along
the East coast.
Appreciable rainfall amounts
are predicted for most of the
eastern states during the next 24
to 36 hours.
Temperatures both at the sur
face and aloft appear warm
enough to prevent any snow from
falling in Central Pennsylvania.
However, snow may be mixed
with the rain in some of the high
er mountain regions of northern
Pennsylvania and New York.
A trend towards milder tem
peratures Is expected to begin
tomorrow. Afternoon tempera
tures may come close to 50 de

Company May Remove Phones
By STEVE CIMBALA
Officials of the Bell Telephone
Company have threatened to re-'
move pay telephones from Uni
versity men’s and women’s dorm
itories, Ken Hershberger, vice
president of the Men's Residence;
Council, said at Wednesday’s
meeting.
This action may be taken be
cause many students have not
been paying full charges, for long
distance calls from these tele
phones, he added.
HE SAID in most cases a stu
dent deposits the initial amount
for a long-distance call, talks
much longer than the alloted
three-minute, period, and, after
completing the call, walks away
without paying the additional
charges, t;
In such! a situation, the com-
Soviets Remove
Arms from Cuba
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Defense Department reported last
night all Soviet missile bases m
Cuba have been dismantled and
their nuclear rockets put aboard
ships.
This report was based on aerial
reconnaissance and the depart
ment said further verification of
Soviet withdrawal of offensive
arms is expected within 24 hours
by US. warships' "close along
side observation,” of the Soviet
merchantmen outbound from
Cuba.
SHORTLY BEFORE the De
fense Department announcement,
the State Department had said the
•nt-sea checking does not remove
the need for on-site inspection in
Cuba; to confirm that the nuclear
threat to U.S. security has, indeed,
been Yuliy eliminated.
The Defense Department 'gave
Ifirst j word of arrangements for
| at-sea examinations Wednesday
; but did not say how it would be
fdone: Yesterday's announcement
.indicated it would be. by visual
inspection from alongside, It'was
added “it is understood the So
viet vessels will cooperate in this
procedure.” •' *
Although the announcement
spoke of along-side inspections, a
Pentagon spokesman said the pos
sibility of boarding the Soviet ves
sels ;is not eliminated if that is
deemed necessary.
AT THE UNITED NATIONS.
informed sources reported that the
Soviet Union has told the United
States that all missiles would be
out of Cuba by Monday and there
would be no need for inspection
beyond that time. It was not
clear whether this was merely
informative or was intended by
the • Russians as a deadline at
which they want inspections at
sea jo cease.
The Pentagon reported that
three Soviet ships presumably
carrying nuclear rockets have
been sighted outbound from Cuba
GO P Liberal Trend Threatened
The election of four .Republi
can: governors in Michigan, New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania
may hurt the OOP’s chances of
winning the 1964 presidential
election if President Kennedy's
popularity isn't reduced, Henry
M. Albinski, associate professor
of political. science, said last
night.,.,
Albinski said there seems to be
a trend in the Republican party
toward a more liberal stand in
domestic and foreign affairs. The
younger generation within the
party—men like Nelson Rocke
feller and George Romney—are
vastly different in their political
viqws than the “Barry Gold
waters,” he said.
pany cannot bill the person who
received the coll, since he did not
agree to pay any charges.
However, Hershberger said, the
Students are “not getting away
with anything."
jWHEN A student leaves with
out paying his additional' charges,
the operator calls the party 'to
whom the student was speaking
and gets the student's name. Bell
Telephone Inc. then bill*,the stu
dent concerned.
When students refuse to pay
the company’s bill, Hershberger
said, the situation is further com
plicated.
The company cannot extract
delinquent bills from the students
through University action, since
the University commonly refuses
to collect bills for private com
panies, Hershberger said.
: Consequently, Hershberger said,
and they probably will be the
first ones contacted by the l|.S.
wai ships The Defense Depart
ment said the first contact might
come about daylight today. j
The Department announcement
said that in addition to the ii»e
dium-range and intermediiite
range rockets that have been spot
ted in aerial pictures, imskde
transporters'and other vital nick-,
etry equipment' has been sheiv
loaded aboard Soviet ships, tncljud
mg some no.w at sea. i '
In .an impromptu news confer
ence, Soviet Premier Khrushchev
said the missiles "probably jnre
on their way" back to the Soviet
Union and mentioned a figure of
40. A U.S. Defense Department
spokesman said yesterday "Vfe'U
certainly .be looking for a-mini
mum of 40 missiles” when the
warships rendezvous with the So
viet ‘merchantmen.
AT THE TIME thehasty ejec
tion of bases brought a limited
naval arms blockade of Cuba blus’
aerial surveillance of the sites,
the Defense Department had said
at least 30 medium-range mobile
rockets and intermediate-rang*
ballistic missiles' were known-to
be in Cuba. ;
Although officials discount! re
ports by Cuban refugees 'that
many of the nurlear rockets! are
beinß hidden in Cuban enves.J the
State Department said the agree
ment for examination of the mis
sile ships at sea doesn't remove
the necessity for ground inspec
tion and verification in Cußa^
.THE SEA CHECK also j left
unanswered the problem of at
least a score of IL2B medium jet”
bombers Moscow is known to have
sent into Cuba. The U.S. position
is that .tjjese 700 mile-range | air
craft must go along with! the
missiles.
’ -Pending satisfactory- answers to
the inspection and bomber ques
tions, the United States.is main
taining its blockade. !
IF THE GOP were-to nominate
one -of these liberal-leaning poli
ticians in the coming presidential
elections, there us a chance! that
“he may be annihilated” if placed
against a strong, popular Oppo
nent such as President Kennedy,
Albinski said. i
The present trend . toward
changing the popularly accepted*
conservative image of the Jiarty
may then be reversed (or fear o(
another Ruch loss. He said the
danger would be in confusing the
opponent- with the liberal phil-,
osophy.
In that case, the GOP would
run conservative candidates in the
face of ■ a . continuously growing
liberal electorate, Albinski said.
the company mqirt take some gen
eral recriminatory action, such as
removal all pay telephones
from University dormitories.
BELL TELEPHONE officials
do not intend to lose money on
these telephone* and wilt remove
them if students continue to re
fuse to pay their bills, Hershber
ger said.
He told council members that
the threatened company action
would apply only to par tele
phone booths and not to trie toll
free wall telephones in the dormi
tories. ;
MKC president John Mikulak
said all students who have out
standing phone bills should pay
them “immediately.’' He said he
thought the company might, ! in
addition to the possible removal
of phones, contact privately tne
! individuals ovru-i-rned.
