Congo Rebels Kill 15
In fast-moving developments in The
Congo yesterday, 15 persons, including two
Americans, were massacred in a public
square, and airborne troops swiftly cap
tured the rebel capital of Stanleyville.
Flown in U.S. planes, 383 Belgian para
troops parachuted onto the Stanleyville air
port’ and claimed its capture in four min
utes. With rescue only minutes away, 15
white hostages were mowed down by ma
chine gun fire m Patrice Lumumba Square.
Among the reported dead were Dr. Paul
Carlson, an American medical missionary,
and Phyllis Rine, another American mis
sionary. Carlson had been sentenced to die
as a spy last week but hurried international
negotiations staved off the execution. An
other fatality in Tuesday’s conflicts was
George Clay, African Affairs Editor for
NBC News, who was killed in the advance
of Congolese troops. U. S. State Department
sources said an estimated 15 to 20 were
slaughtered in the square and 15 more were
shot down at an airport hotel. The State
Department said it will demand that the
Congo rebel leaders answer for the deaths
ot l.ie iwo Americans. The rebel hierarchy
apparently escaped from Stanleyville. By
last evening, some 800 rescued hostages had
been flown to safety in Leopoldville.

Lions Nix Bowl Offers
Penn State's football team voted
last night to refuse any invitations
to post-season bowl games.
The voting took place in a closed
doors meeting of the players follow
ing a team dinner at the Nittany Lion
Inn. No coaches were present during
the balloting.
The Lions, who staged the best
comeback in Penn State history, fin
ished with a 6-4 record after losing
their first three games. Included in
that sparkling comeback were lop
sided victories over Ohio State (27-0),
then ranked second in the nation, and
arch-rival Pitt (28-0) in the finale
last Saturday.

after a two-hour conference with President
Johnson at the LBJ Ranch in Texas. Shri
ver reported that the President “expressed
total agreement and pleasure at the progress
that’s been made" under the anti-poverty
program that became law 50 days ago. The
largest portion of the money—some $l5
million—will be used for the construction
and refurbishing of job corps centers where
young people 16 through 21 will receive
basic and vocational education and work

which local people have mapped out their
own anti-poverty programs.
Italian Premier Aldo Moro’s govern
ment was threatened in weekend elections
as the Italian Communist Party gained its
largest share ever of popular- votes. Voting
tabulations show Moro’s controversial left
center government confronted with a pos
sible crisis of confidence. The likelihood is
now strong of increased attacks from the
Communist on the left and free-enterpris
ing Liberal party on the right. Italian po
litical observers are puzzling over the rea
sons for the steady gains of Communism in
that country of booming prosperity. Most
experts believe that most voters voted
against the rich, entrenched bureaucracy.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, 1964
Several bowl committees, includ

Liberty and Gator Bowls, had ex
pressed interest in State during the
past week. University officials re
portedly rejected unofficial feelers
from the Sun and Liberty Bowls, but
up to last night a bid to the Gator
Bowl was a very strong possibility.
Florida State, ranked tenth na
tionally, already has accepted a bid
as the Gator Bowl’s team. Auburn

under consideration, but Tech made

last evening.

The growing tack of interest
in Spectrum over the yearsj
has been a result of the increas

the magazine is manned by
technical students, there seems
to be more emphasis on aca
demic achievement," he said.

Frustrated Hunters To Get
Their Turkeys Tomorrow
By RICHARD SPAGNOLU
For those hunters in the stu

pectations of bagging their
Thanksgiving turkey in the
woodlands of Centre County,
but finally realized that the
old hunter’s proverb “Turkey
see, turkey go; turkey no see,
turkey go anyhow," was true,
a candlelight dinner will be
held tomorrow in all residence
area dining halls.
Of course, all other residence
hall students are invited, and
dining hall officials hope that
the roast turkey they serve
will satisfy many a disgruntled
hunter.
Quick Switch
1 The atmosphere will then
change abruptly from soft
candlelight to loud rock 'n'
roll as each residence area
sponsors an after-dinner jam

of the room, those few dis
heartened hunters can try to
convince their friends that the 1
old proverb can’t possibly be
true. ;

SIX CENTS
By LAURIE DEVINE
There exists the “strong
possibility” that Campus
and Liberal parties will tem
porarily merge for winter
term elections of the Under
graduate Student Govern
ment.
This statement was jointly
issued last night by James
Conahan, Campus Parly chair
man, Philip Goldsmith, Cam
pus Party vice chairman and
Brian Sherwood, Liberal Party
chairman.
Statement Pending
According to Goldsmiih, the
leaders will be ‘ working out
the details” today and will
“possibly” be ready to issue a
positive statement on the issue
later today.
Gary Legon, chairman of
University Party, said late last
night the possibility of merger
is “simply hearsay and in the
eyes of many cheap propaganda
more designed to further cer
tain political purposes.
“I can assure you that there
exists an ever stronger possi
bility that the complete rank
and file of Liberal Party, with
the exception of the party
chairman, Brian Sherwood,
will either join University
Party during the winter term
or collaborate completely with
it. This has been learned on
the authority of the vice chair
man of Liberal Party, Benja
min Novak.”
Elections will be held Jan.
18-20 to fill the 10 USG Con
gress seats from the individual
living areas which were re
apportioned earlier this term
under the new constitution.
Freshman class president will
also be elected at this time.
Conahan termed the pro
posed merger “a temporary
measure to present the strong
est possible ticket to the voters
in the election.”
He said the goal was to as
semble hard-working leaders of
academic excellence and high
integrity.
The projected coalition would
utilize leadership of both.par
lies under the platform and
ticket heading of Campus-
Liberal.
All arrangements must be
settled by Jan. 10 when the
parties will hold their nomi
nating conventions for the
USG winter elections. Regis
tration will be held Jan. 7 and
10. Even if the proposed merg
er is confirmed positively,
Conahan stated that registra
tion for Campus and Liberal
parties will be separate.
Execs Named
Conahan also announced the
recent appointment of the
party's executives: Goldsmith
and Robert Lewis, vice-chair
men, Leslie Evans, secretary
treasurer, and Jon Dranov,
party press secretary.
Conahan said those candi
dates from Campus party will
be bound by a new party con
stitutional by-law which re
quires that all elected candi
dates be ratified by a public
vote of confidence at the end
of winter term. Unless over 50
per cent of those voting ap
prove him, the candidate must
resign.
The purpose of this measure,
according to Conahan, is to in
crease the direct responsibility
of the leaders to the students
who elected them.
Spectators
Watch As
Sparks Fly
Green and yellow sparks
flashed across Calder Street
at 6:45 last night when a short
circuit occured in a power line
on Fraser Street in front of
the State College Municipal
Building.
Western Pennsylvania Power
Company officials used a circuit
breaker to turn off the power
and Alpha firemen checked the
Municipal Building roof for
possible fire. None was discov
ered, however.
A power company employee
said he thought the short circuit
originated when an automobile
hit one of the electric poles in
the alley, causing secondary
circuits to swing against each
other bringing about a short.
He added that the company
has not yet determined the
actual cause of the mishap.
Sparks jumped along the wires
between two poles, but did not
spread farther than one block.
A West Penn employee esti
mated it would be approximate
ly one hour before normal power
could be restored.
The broken circuit caused a
loss of electricity in all build
ings from Fraser to South Bur
rows Streets and between Col
lege and Beaver Avenues.
The Benevolent and Protec
tive Order of Elks (BPOE)
building on South Burrowes
Street and Koch Funeral Home
were without electricity.
Both buildings had over one
hundred people in them when the
short circuit occurred.
