Even farmers had a place, although the major em phasis was on those who dwell in or near large,cities. Renewed Pledge He promised Negroes that his administration "will con tinue and strengthen its efforts to translate the pledge" of the late President John F. Ken nedy's anti-bias housing order "into meaningful practice." But Johnson made no men tion of any plans to extend the order banning racial discrimi nation in federally assisted housing to include convention ally financed housing, a step many civil rights leaders have recommended. He renewed Kennedy's de mands for a Cabinet-rank De partment of Housing and Com munity Development, and for enactment of the mass transit program now awaiting a House vote. Emphasis Shift The major shift in emphasis came in the partnership pro gram of aid in developing the fast-growing areas around big cities. Johnson called for a program of cooperative planning and de velopment, with the federal government providing financial aid and know-how. Where local governments are swamped by pressing needs for proper sewage facilities, water systems, roads and other neces sities, Johnson calls for federal grants and direct loans to help out. He would have the federal government- provide funds to build facilities large enough to allow for future growth, even though immediate local tax revenues wouldn't finance it. Also, Johnson would provide fderal funds for planning community development and advance purchase of land for public purposes, such as schools, parks and recreational areas. Insured Loans Private developers planning large subdivisions or entire communities would get federal ly insured loans. "The pioneering efforts of progressive and imaginative private developers in planning totally new and complete com munities indicate some of the exciting possibilities for order ly growth," Johnson said.

Announces Candidacy Mrs. Smith Tosses Hat Into Race WASHINGTON (EP) Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, 66, re doubtable campaigner from Maine, recited yesterday all the reasons she should not run for the Republican presidential nomination, and then said: "So, because of these very impelling reasons against my running, I have decided that I SHALL." Republican Moderate As a "moderate Republican" the slim, slivery-haired senator will enter the first primary in New Hampshire Mar. 10. She also will run in Illinois. She will have no objection to her name being entered in the Dis trict of Columbia, and assumes it will be entered in Oregon. The launching pad for her candidacy was a luncheon of the Women's National Press Club, and she built the an nouncement into a suspense story that wowed the audience. Heavy Odds People had cited grave rea sons for her not running, she said: lack of money, organiza tion, time, heavy odds against her, this is a man's world, etc. Then, with a twinkle, she made her positive announcement. In her voluminous corre spondence, she said also, are reasons why she should run, including: The argument that she would be pioneering to break the sex barrier—to make it easier for some woman in the future to be elected president. 'Wide Range' But the argument she seemed to find most fetching is this: "It has been contended that I should run in order to give the voters a wider range of choice —and specifically a choice oth er than that of conservative or liberal—to give those who con sider themselves to be mod erates or middle-of-the-road advocates a chance to cast an unqualified vote instead of having to vote conservative or liberal." Although she did not name her oponents, her reference ob viously was to New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Both have campaigned exten sively in New Hampshire with Rockefeller pleading the liberal cause 'and Goldwater the con servative philosophy. Husband's Successor Mrs. Smith, who helped earn her education by doing switch board duty in the Skowhegan. Maine, telephone office, is the widow of Clyde H. Smith. He ran for office 48 times in Maine and won 48 times. On his death, she ran successfully for his U.S: House of Representatives seat, and nobody has headed her off since. Senator Proposes Bill To Lower Voting Age HARRISBURG (?P) State Sen. Albert R. Pechan (R-Arm strong) renewed his efforts yes terday to lower the voting age in Pennsylvania from 21 to 18. Sen. William Vincent Mullin, (D-Philadelphia) introduced a similar bill Jan. 7. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 28, .1964 Nationalists Denounce France's 'Two Chinas' New ETV Head Sets High Goals By MEL ZIEGLER Marlowe D. Froke, direc tor of broadcasting, told the University yesterday to "set expectations high" on its new VHF Educational Tel evision Channel 3. Froke, who will manage the station's operations, assured that his staff "expects a lot and will deliver a lot." The role of University ETV should be "supplementary" in all areas to commercial stations and provide what they fail to schedule, the new station man ager added. Final approval of a $200,000 loan for channel 3 from the Department of Health, Educa tion, and Welfare and a con struction permit from the Federal Communications Com mission are expected soon. Construction will begin soon after. 22 Counties The station, scheduled to be in operation by September, will transmit from Clearfield Coun ty and service 22 other central Pennsylvania counties. Froke explained that chan nel 3, as a University station, will play a "vital role" in the Common wealth Educational Network. Upon completion of the CEN, programs originating fr o m Clearfield and campus will be transmitted to network sta tions in Harrisburg, Allentown, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton and Erie. More Entertainment Froke agreed with FCC head William Henry's recent appeal for more entertainment in edu cational TV. He said he expects to format channel 3 with in creased "showmanship and, performance." He feels that content will be wasted without these methods of presentation. Locally originating programs will include college courses, with and without credit. Froke explained the possibility of eventually expanding to a "junior college of the air." Tapes of closed-circuit lec tures broadcast in University classrooms will not be used be cause of the "varied intellec tual level" of the television audience. Junior College WQED, Pittsburgh, and oth er educational stations have already made inquiries into this "junior college" emanating from Penn State, via micro wave, throughout the state. Also in the planning stages is live coverage of all Univer sity athletic activities but foot ball to other educational TV outlets. Plans call for football - games to be rebroadcast Sunday afternoons. Channel 3 will join the East: ern Educational Network and' the National Educational Net work and gather the bulk of its programs from these sources. Such shows as "French Chef", "Eye of the Artist", "Antiques", live concerts from the Roches ter and Wilmington Sympho nies and lessons on how to play bridge will be some network contributions. Plans submitted to the FCC state the channel will begin the day's broadcasting at 2:30 p.m. and continue until 10 p.m. Froke said he wishes to ex pand these hours from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily to utilize maxi mum facilities. "THE NEW PRINCE," an original play by Actors Roger Destremps, David Gregson Pat O'Connor, will be produced by 5 and Steve Harr and director Nancy Lee O'Clock Theatre at 5:20 p.m. today in the Tebbe relax after rehearsals last night.

Walker said recently. In his annual report to people of the Commonwealth, Walker outlined three persistent trends which demand that the University expand and accept its "role" in state, nation- al. and international matters Raising enrollments, he point ed out, require the effective use of our eduactional resources— good teachers, classrooms, and laboratories.

FIVE CENTS Formosa Continues Paris Ties TAIPEI, Formosa (VP) France launched its "two Chinas" policy yesterday and recognized Red China, a fateful step denounced promptly by the Chinese Nationalists as "disastrous to the cause of the free world." Apparently heeding the ad vice of Washington, President Chiang Kai-shek's reg i m e stopped short of breaking off relations with Paris. But a ,strong protest to France called recognition "an extremely un friendly act." The United States, which has kept Chiang's regime afloat since the Communists conquered the mainland in 1949, called France's long-expected decision "an unfortunate step." Similar expressions came from such friends of the Nation alists as the Philippines and South Korea. Japan emphasized that it will continue to recognize the Nationalists. Peking radio announced si multaneously with Paris that the two nations would designate ambassadors within three months. The Chinese Nationalists knew French recognition of their old mainland enemy was coming, but the prompt acceptance of Peking of the "two Chinas" con cept apparently surprised them. The Nationalist Foreign Min istry issued a statement saying France's action "gravely af fects the international balance in the face of Communist expan sion" and emphasized its oppo is i t ion to French President Charles de Gaulle's "two Chinas" policy. U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk told the Japanese in Tokyo that France cannot influence Peking's belligerent policy to ward the West because the French will not bring any real power to Asia, informed sources said. Speaking at a closed meeting of the U.S.-Japanese economic conference, Rusk was said to have expressed concern over the effects French recognition will have on South Korea, For mosa, Southeast Asia and even tually Japan. Washington officials were re portedly concerned also over the impact on Africa, where Pre mier Chou En-lai is on tour at a time when unrest is sweeping the dark continent. The Nationalist protest to France mentioned it. charging that Red China's true colors were shown in the African na tionalist coup earlier this month on Zanzibar. The first big diplomatic test is expected at -the United Na tions later this year with an at tempt to seat Red China. Na tionaiict China is expected to in tensify diplomatic efforts to pre vent Red China 'from gaining entry. WASHINGTON (AP)—United States ability to hold the line against trade and diplomatic gains by major Communist countries suffered a severe blow 'Monday with France's recogni tion of Red China. U.S. authorities said the con sequences of the act, which the Johnson administration de nounced as "unfortunate," are unpredictable. But there is spec ulation that in the weeks ahead ! other countries may follow the ,French lead and that next fall ithere will be a strong move to 'seat Red China in the United 'Nations.
