INDIA PREPARES SHASTRI RITES: With traditional cre-
Riatum riles on the banks of the sacred Jumna River, India
consigns Lai Rahadur Shnslri to the panlheon of India's
great leaders, Multitudes turned out to pay final tribute
to the trail, meek little man who in 19 months as their
prime minister had carved for himself a niche in Indian
history on the patterns laid out by Mohandas Gandhi and
Ja waluirlal Nehru. To Sha.stri's eldest son, Hari Kishen.
fell the (ask of lighting the funeral pyre in Hindu rites
at a site on the river bank close to the places wheie Gandhi,
Indian independence leader, and Nehru, his heir, were
ci etna ted. Shastri died in the cause for which he lived—
ns an advocate on conciliation with firmness, a quester
for peace. The political formula evolved by the late Prime
Minister is to guide his successor in the months ahead.
His formula may in fact be the only one that will work
in India. India’s new leader. Prime Minister Gulzarilal
Nando, GT, is a much more forceful personality than was
Shastri. He delights in tough jobs, but it is unlikely
Nanda will be a tough leader. Shastri felt, and many
of his critics agreed, that India needed unifying meditation
more than a driving taskmaster, Nanda is likely lo follow
this line, now (hat he must deal with India's many con
flicting currents, such as different religious groups and
languages. In foreign policy, Nanda appears to have little
room to maneuver, even if he wanted to reverse trends.
India undoubtedly will stick to what it calls a nonaligned
foreign policy.
STUDENTS PROTEST JOHNSON PEACE OFFENSIVE:
Leaders of campus groups protesting U.S. policy in Vietnam
in general take a skeptical view of President Johnson’s
global peace offensive. America’s direct communication
with Communist Hanoi—part of Johnson’s peace offensive
—came soon after the Christmas Eve suspension of U.S.
bombing raids on North Vietnam. It was learned that
an American diplomat met for a few minutes with an
official of the Hanoi regime and handed him a message
dealing with U.S. proposals for an end to the war in South
Vietnam. Rep. Cornelius Gallagher, D-N.J., said the mes
sage was in the form of an aide-memoire. “The signifi
cance of this is that when an aide-memoire was sent be
fore. it was rejected out of hand,” Gallagher said. “This
one was accepted.” A spot survey showed that many stu
dents were planning new demonstrations against Johnson's
moves. They said they were convinced that the major
aim of the White House moves is to rally American sup
port for an even greater war effort. The protest groups
at most schools include only a narrow fringe of the under
graduate body and their views are not shared by the bulk
of students, university officials say. However, they tend
to be well-organized and highly vocal. A typical reaction
to the presidential diplomatic drive was that of Michael
McKain. a leader of a University of Utah group. “I believe
the Johnson administration’s so-called peace offensive is an
excuse for escalation. The administration will use the failure
of the peace offensive as an excuse to intensify the wav,”
be said.

TRANSIT STRIKE PROGRESS CALLED “NEBULOUS":
Mounting public pressure and the goading of an angry
mayor set a mediation panel scrambling yesterday for a
new approach to settlement of New York’s It day. billion
dollar transit ticup. Douglas MacMahon. acting head of
the striking AFL-CIO Transport workers union, stood on
his initial rejection of Republican Mayor Lindsay’s peace
formula, which calls for either mediation progress, fact
finding or advisory or binding arbitration. Three leaders
of the Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish faiths sent
a lelegiam to the union and Transit Authority negotiators
which said: "A million New Yorkers find the transit strike
no longer tolerable. We strongly back the. immediate ac
ceptance by both parties of Mayor Lindsay’s recommenda
tions and speedy restoration of transit service. We offer
our good offices in any way in which we can be helpful.”
police sources reported a growing demand for ambulances
and said the health of eight million New Yorkers definitely
was being affected by the daily strain of traveling without
buses or subways. Speculation increased over the possible
marshaling of the National Guard, although there was no
indication that soldiers could operate the city’s complicated
800 mile transit system.
KLANSMAN REVEALS DETAILS OF CHURCH BURN
INGS: A seventh grade dropout and disillusioned Ku Kiux
(Clansman told the House Committee on Un-American Ac
tivities yesterday a tale of church-burning plots and belt

kind of things," John H. Gipson said as he explained why
he turned informer, even (hough he feels now “mv life

and lumber mill worker at Slidell, La., vividU desetibed
the whipping of a white youth aud a Klan plot to file two
Negro churches. He backed out of participating in the
burning plan. Gipson testified, by inventing a story of a
“crying, begging wife who didn't want me to go off.” He
said the two men he was to accompany on the torch job
told him. "We understand and we'll lake care of it.” Gip
son testified that after the church burnings he “got on the
side of the law.” and became an informer for the sheriff of
St. Tammany Parish. He quit the Klan only last week, he
said, when lie testified in a state trial in the Klan whipping
of Clarence O'Berry. O’Berry was whipped because the
Pearl River Klan wrecking crew decided he needed
“straightening out." Gipson testified.

Model U.N. Posts
With little more than a month left
before the 19GB session of the Mode! United
Nations Assembly convenes at the Univer
sity, several seats in Latin American and
Western Europe delegations are still un

Secretary-General of the Undergrad
uate Student Government-sponsored event,
Vic Hammel, reported yesterday that ap
plications are available at the Hetzel Union

of their appointment today.”

Hammel also noted that U.S. Ambassa
dor to the United Nations Arthur Goldberg
will be unable to deliver the keynote ad
dress at the model forum Feb. 17-20. The
Secretary-General’s committee had extend
ed an invitation to the ambassador in
December, accompanied by a letter of en
dorsement from President Eric A. Walker.
“Goldberg’s office," Hammel said, “notified
the committee over term break that the
Ambassador had another commitment and
would be unable to attend."
He added however, that "prospects are
good” of obtaining the Finance Chairman

opening session Feb. 17. Adebo is noted for
his eloquence in the U.N. Assembly in New

Hammel encouraged students interested
in delegate positions to return their appli
cations as soon as possible. Tire applications,
he said, will be reviewed on the basis of
education and experience. A personal inter
view will be necessary only in the event
two students apply for the same position.

Won't Reclassify Protesters
Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Micli,, bad
protested the aclion by the draft
boards. Ho wrote the Justice De
partment lor its views on a claim
in a letter lo him by Hershey that
he is authorized by presidential
executive order to reclassify men
‘‘found to be delinquent under tire
Selective Service Act.”
Hart made public yesterday a
replv by Asst. Atty. Gen. Fred
M. Vinson Jr. saving “we know of
no executive order or any other
pronouncement b,v this department
indicating either concurrence or

and peacekeeping operations and financing.
After presentation to the general conclave,
the resolutions determined by sub-commit
tee will be open to debate and vote at the
final session,
To prepare students to assume their
roles as delegates effectively. Elton A. At
water, professor of political science at the
University, in conjunction with the USG
committee, has prepared bibliographies to
be made available to representatives of
the 50 countries today and tomorrow. The
Secretary-General noted that his commit
tee has employed a library staff aid to as
sist the delegates in their research.
Stressing authenticity of opinion, Ham
mel outlined the duty of each representa
tive to research one of the three problem
areas from his country’s viewpoint.
“It is important,” lie said, “not to think
as an American but as a national of the
country represented." Each of the three
delegates and one alternate, he continued,
will choose one topic and prepare to pre
sent his country’s position to the appropriate
sub-committee.
Fees Clarified
The four-dollar delegation fee. the com
mittee explained, is four dollars per coun
try, not per person. Hammel reported that
this was causing some confusion among
prospective delegates. He went on to say
that the project is backed almost completely
by USG funds. At its last meeting of the
fall term, the student government granted
an additional $3OO to the model forum,
bringing USG allotments to $BOO.
Chosen by last-year's conclave, the top
leadership spots will be filled this year by
Gordon Griffin (9th-American studies-Du-
Bois), president; Anita Golub (12th-history-
