Awake and Ready
As for tonight, students can
sleep well; fire-resistant build

supervisor and the Alpha Fire
Company are wide awake and
ready to respond to any emer

According to Stanley H.
Campbell. vice president for
business, "all University build
ings are as fire-resistant as
possible in compliance with
the state's Department of La
bor and Industry require

campus buildings are "under
going renovation to increase
and improve their safety from
fire."
Fire alarms and extinguish-,
ers are located in every build-'
ing. Fire alarms ring only in
the building in which the'
alarm is sounded; the Alpha;
Fire Company must be sum- ,
moned by telephone.
Safety Supervisor
Calling the University a
"safety-conscious" institution,;
Campbell. noted that Penn,

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30, 1964
BULLETIN
An anonymous telephone caller
reported yesterday that a bomb
had been planted in Mrs. John
F. Kennedy's new apartment
on Fifth Avenue. However, the
threat turned out to be a hoax.
A Secret Service agent said,
Mrs. Kennedy and her two chil
dren, John 3, and Caroline, 6,
were not evacuated from the
apartment during a massive
search. Police originally report
ed she was forced to leave.
A roof to cellar check of her

at 85 Street, lasted almost two
hours. Police, firemen, secret

was uncovered.
Return Urged
the group, Samuel S. Vaughan, class
of 1951, commented in his letter that
"at the same time, no one with whom
my associates and I have talked is

, "Froth has been many things—
from unfunny and perhaps unwanted

The letter. went on to say that "a
true university encourages dissent,
opinion, even attack. On the other
hand, as any number of who have
served as its editors, business or other
managers have proven, and taught
our staffs, a college humor magazine
need not be scurrilous, 'sexy,' or irre

Vaughan proposed the creation of an

Apartment
A male caller dialed the op
erator first at 5:12 p.m. and
told her a bomb would go off
in Mrs. Kennedy's apartment,
but erroneously listed the ad

lice checked that address and
found nothing there either.
Meanwhile. at 5:20 the same
man called back and by sheer
coincidence got the same tele
phone operator. This time he
said:
"The reason I'm calling is I

He set the time for the explo

was still underway at Mrs. Ken

Staff Reorganization
The first point emphasized was
the welcoming and indoctrination of

help from "a number of older men
and women who have served on the
magazine and who are now installed
in various positions of trust and re
sponsibility involving the printed (or
televised or advertised) word, would
serve a useful purpose."
The group noted that the hardest
part would not be in finding people,
but in finding the right people. It
feels the job of the incumbent staff
or interested faculty members is to
help gather a staff. They suggested
the use of wide-spread publicity of
the return of the magazine far in
advance.
The Board suggested material not
be censored but that they would be
able to read the magazine and make
comments on a voluntary basis which
could be accepted or rejected by the
staff.

Final Nobel Prize Given
The 1964 Nobel Prize for physics was
awarded jointly yesterday to an American
and two Russians for basic contributions
to the discovery of the maser-laser effect,
a fabulous harnessing of radio and light
beams to serve mankind. The Royal Swed
ish Academy of Science directed that half
of the $53,123 prize money go to Charles H.
Towne, 49, provost of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. The rest goes to
Nikolay Basov, 42, and Prof. Aleksander
Prochorov, 48, of the Soviet Science Aca
demy's Lebedev Institute in Moscow. Pos
sible uses of the beams in physics, com
munications, medicine and surgery appear
almost unlimited. The laser also is reputed
to have potential value as a military death
ray. Working as a professor of physics at
Columbia University in New York, Townes
initiated the maser-laser principle in the
1950'5. Basov and Prochorov pursued simi
lar work in Moscow. The three men worked
independently.
New Regime Desires Peace
The journal of the Soviet party Central
Committee declared yesterday the party's
decision—meaning the ouster of Nikita
Krushchev—`'expressed the will of the en
tire party, of the entire people." The new
regime is reportedly a collective leadership
that will pursue a peaceful foreign policy.
It called for a world Communist meeting
as proposed by Khrushchev but opposed
by Red China. Communist sources said
publication of the indictment of Khrush
chevs leadership might come by Nov. 6.
While Soviet propaganda organs blaze away
at Khrushchev, the fallen premier is re
ceiving a pension of $l,lll and has a four
room apartment near the Kremlin, usually
reliable sources said. The Central Commit
tee said it saw signs of dictatorship, nepo
tism, a foul-up in the economy.

males only—will be presented
by the Hetzel Union Special
Events Committee from 7:30-

Male students will model night

Prizes will be $25 for first
place, $l5 for second place and

The committee has not dis

leges," Krivanek said.

The contest will be patterned
after the Miss America Beauty

questions posed by the judges.
The three finalists will be judged
on the costumes and quick
answers.
Applications for entrance in
the contest can be obtained at
the HUB desk, and should be
completed and left there before
Nov. 1.
"The purpose of the fashion
show," said Robert Krivanek,
project publicity chairman, "is
to stir up some action during
the slowest weekend of the term.

"Since there is an away foot

exactly which coastal areas were hit or

No mention was made of any casualties or

Malaysia Stops Third Invasion
About half of the 60 Indonesian guer
rillas who landed on the southwest coast
of the Malaysian mainland early yesterday
were seized and the rest are pinned down
in the swamps, a military spokesman said
last night. British, Australian, New Zea
land and Malaysian troops were moving in
for the mop-up of the third invasion oper
ation from Indonesia in less than two
months. Of all three operations, part of
Indonesia's campaign to crush the British
backed federation of Malaysia, this one
appeared to have been bungled the most.
By official account, the guerrillas came
across the narrow Strait of Malacca from
Sumatra in five fishing boats believed to
have been captured from Malaysians in
numerous sea skirmishes. The government
also announced it had broken the back of
the Pontian and Labis invasions.

SIX CENTS
By WILLIAM F. LEE
In the true tradition of
the old-fashioned railroad
whistle-stop tour, presiden
tial hopeful Barry M. Gold
water traveled through the
heavily industrial portions
of central and western Pennsyl
vania yesterday, making a stop
at Lewistown, 30 miles from the
University.
On hand to greet him were
some 50 University students who
had traveled there in a 13-car
motorcade.
The tour, Goldwater's third
and last swing through the Com
monwealth, started at Harris
burg early in the morning and
ended at Pittsburgh last night
with a rally at the Civic Arena.
Included were stops at Lewis
town, Huntingdon, Altoona, John
town and Greensburg.
Cheering Greeters
A cheering crowd of about
1,000 persons, many of them of
high school and college age, was
on hand to greet the Republican
presidential candidate at Lewis
town.
Despite a light drizzle • that
persisted throughout the morn
ing, the crowd gathered early at
the station. The area in front of
a trackside podium was filled
with people by the time the 12-
car train, chartered by the Re
publican National Committee,
arrived.
Speaking before the Senator
were various state candidates,
including Judge Robert E. Wood
side for Superior Court, and W.
Stuart Helm for auditor general.
Other passengers on the train
included state Republican Chair
man Craig Truax, who helped
coordinate details of the journey,
and H. Beecher Charmbury,
s t ate mine secretary and
professor of mineral preparation
at the University, who said he
"just came along to see what
these things are like."
Band Music
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Ray
mond P. Shafer introduced Gold
water, and the grey-suited can
didate and his wife Peggy
emerged from the rear of the
train amid band music and en
thusiastic cheering.
Taking his place at the ros
trum, Goldwater first said •he
had just noticed in the morning
newspapers that President John
son was pressing the theme "Get
Up Early and Vote."
Goldwater asked rhetorically:
"How can the President press
a theme like that when there are
many bigger issues in this cam
paign?"
Then the GOP candidate re
ferred specifically to the de
pressed conditions in this area
of the state, sometimes consid
ered a part of Appalachia, and
cited as a vital issue the number
of area residents looking for
work.
Referring again to the John
son "theme," he added: "If the
President can keep the news
papers printing for the,next few
days, you know who's going to
win this election."
Goldwater said in his opinion
the main issue at stake in the
1964 campaign is "what kind of
country do you want?"
Dignified Peace
"Do you want a country that
accommodates Communists," he
said, "and that seeks to coexist
with an enemy that is bound and
determined to bury us? I want
to try to get peace, an honorable
peace, a peace for dignity."
Goldwater then returned to his
prepared material, which he
stressed throughout yesterday's
tour, and in which he sought to
clarify his position on social
security.
"The President has used
cheap, degrading tricks to falsify
my position on social security,"
he said. "I have a social security
card and I pay social security,
and I don't intend to tear up my
card or anyone else's."
He then stressed his voting
record in the Senate, saying that
he "voted for every social se
curity bill that came up in the
Senate that I thought would
strengthen and not weaken So
cial Security."
He also said: "I, along with a
majority of other Americans,
am 'opposed to the misnamed
