India's loaders began pre parations for a now political ora hours after a sacred fire of Hindu cremation consumed the body of Lai Bahadur Shastri before the eves of a mourning mass of countrymen. New Delhi buzzed with reports of political maneuvering, and Shastri .s immediate successor as prime minister, Gulzari Lai Nanda, conferred with political advisers. Nancla is faced with possible challenges to his leadership. A crowd esti mated to number a million or more jammed the tuneral route and the side of the holy Jumna River lo witness Shastri’s cremation. The funeral appeared as large as that of Prime Minister Jawaharla! Nehru in Mav 1904. At a vintage point near the pyre stood U.S Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and Premier Alexei N. Kosygin. “The world mourns the loss of a statesman who died serving the statesman's noblest cause—the cause of world peace," Humphrey said in a eulogy later in New Delhi. Shastri, who answered the question, ' After Nehru who?" never clearly indicated who his political heir should lie. Nanda was Shastri's workhorse and, prob ably, one of his closest collaborators. President Kumaraswami Kamaraj of the ruling Congress party scheduled a meeting for Thursday to pay Shastri respect. And this will give him an opportunity (o assess the political maneuvering. * * * LONG TERM PLAN WILL WIPE OUT VIET CONG U.S. aid officials outlined yesterday a long-term plan aimed at permanently wiping out Communist control in the South Vietnamese coutryside in coming years. The new pacifica tion program, as it was termed, is a successor to the ill fated strategic hamlet program of the early 19605. Core of the new efforts is to be the assignment of specially trained teams of 60 to 80 South Vietnamese villages which have been freed from the threat of large-scale Viet Cong military attacks. The teams are being trained to ferret out hidden Viet Cong forces remaining in the villages, nurture re spected local governments based on the existing village council system, establish good police, health, schooling and other community facilities and maintain security. About one-half of the team members are to be armed and the teams will be prepared to stay in each village a year or as long as necessary, it was staled. This contrasts with the strategic hamlet concept which proved unable to withstand continued pressure and techniques of the Red guerrillas, officials said. They outlined this difference: The strategic hamlet operation tended to destroy the existing village governmental system. Saigon government cadres would move people into a location, give pep talks and distribute a few pigs, see that limited fortifications were constructed, and then move on to another site. This failed to destroy Underground Communist cells, and when Saigon military control weakened the Reds move back in command. The outcome of the pacification effort is regarded as highly im portant. The State MILK INDUSTRY INVESTIGATION TO CONTINUE IN 'fill. A state senator who served as co-chairman of a legislative committee that investigated the Pennsylvania milk industry last year said yesterday that he intends for the investigation to continue in 1966. The lawmaker, Sen. B. Elmer Hawbaker, R-Franklin, said this to a cheering throng of dairy farmers assembled on the Capitol steps while the temperature dipped into the teens. He was co-chairman of a joint legislative committee formed following reports of wide-spread kickbacks between dairies and co-operatives in Western Pennsylvania. “We have every intention of continuing our study,’’ he fold the estimated 1,000 demostrators, mostly members of the United Dairy Farmers of Western Pennsylvania. “By the end of this year we hope to find some solution,” lie said. The UDF sponsored the demonstration to dramatize members’ demands for more money for their raw milk. They now get about eight cents per quart and they seek to raise this to 13 cents. The sign-carrying farmers also were protesting Gov. Scran ton's veto of a bill proposed by the legislative committee that would have discouraged the importation of milk from out of state. The governor did however sign five other bills pro posed by the joint committee. The president of the United Dairy Farmers, Ernest Hayes triggered loud cheers when he said his organization would continue its picketing of the Isaly Dairv Co. in Pittsburgh. The UDF has picketed Isaly’s for more than 100 days to dramatize its demand tor an increase in the milk price paid to farmers. The Nation THREE MAN PANEL JOINS STRIKE TABLE. A three man mediation panel prepared yesterday to submit its own formula for settlement of New York's billion-dollar. 12-day transit strike. Mayor John V. Lindsay met with the media tors at City Hall and directed them to submit their Views “as to the basis” for settlement. Such mediation pressure was one of three alternatives suggested by Lindsay in a Monday night speech, when he vowed the city “will not capitulate before the lawless demands of a single power group.” The three-man Transit Authority was believed pre pared to accept recommendations by mediators Nathan Feinsinger. Theodore Kheel and Sylvester Garrett. How ever, the striking AFL-CIO Transport Workers Union went on record as opposed to a mediators’ settlement immediately after Lindsay’s Monday night castigation of the union. Act ing TWU strike leader Douglas MacMohen said upon learn ing of Lindsay’s decree to the mediators for a settlement formula: “As far as settlement of the strike, it can be settled if the mayor and Transit Authority put sufficient money on the table. When thev are readv to do this, we'll be willing to settle this.” By Lindsay's estimates, the Tran sit Authority's last offer to the strikers was in excess of $4O million over two years in wages and benefits. He said the demands of the strike leaders amounted to about SlOO million. What's Inside MORE MONEY GRANTS... WEINTRAUB’S SAVOY....

McDermott has been named associate dean for administration of the University's Graduate School. A member of the Penn State faculty since 1959, he has been serving as assistant director of the School of Forest Resources and professor and head of the department of forest management. The position of associate dean for administration is a new one, created to meet the expanding needs of the Grad uate School, explains M. Nelson McGearv, dean of the Graduate School. McDermott’s function will be to assist in the adminis tration of the Graduate School and plan for its future de velopment. His position augments that of Henry W. Knerr. professor of physics, who lias divided his time since 1952 between the department of physics and the Graduate School as assistant dean and associate dean. McDermott came to Penn State from the University of Missouri. Until his appointment as assistant director of the School of Forest Resources last year, he served as profes sor of forestry and head of the department of forest man agement. As associate dean of the Graduate School he retains his academic title, professor of forestry. Forestry research and graduate education programs at the University have made striking gains through Mc- Dermott’s efforts, and he has had primary responsibility for directing several major programs each year for forest resource managers and scientists.

Pa, (/Pi The Stale Board of Education was told yesterday that more and more college freshmen and sopho mores should be encouraged to receive the first two years of their post-high school education in their home communities. The Academy for Educational Develop ment, Inc., of New York looked to such two year institutions as community colleges and off-campus extension centers of the larger universities to serve that home education function. “Without the full development of two year colleges and campuses, the Pennsyl vania State University, Temple University and other leading institutions in the Com monwealth would have to expect their home campuses to grow so large within a few years—say to 75,000 students each—as to become virtual cities within cities," the consultants wrote. The academy's study, a 8100,000, 220- page document, is to serve as a major aid to the board in writing an official master plan for the commonwealth. The final plan is expected to be developed within the en suing six months. The academy was quick to point out: "A broad public policy on higher educa tion has never been developed to guide . . . the development of higher education in the Commonwealth." Trustees Establish New Arts, Humanities Institute An Institute for the Arts and the Humanistic Studies has been established at the Univer sity, bv action of the Board of Trustees, to become effective Jan. 15. John M. Anderson, profes sor and head of the department of philosophy, has been named acting director of the Institute. The Institute, proposed by the College of the Liberal Arts and the College of Arts and Architecture, will serve as a focal point for research in the arts and humanities at the Uni versity. As a unit within the Division of Intercollege Pro grams and Facilities m the Of fice of the Vice President for Research, it will provide an administrative mechanism for interdisciplinary research and graduate work. The Institute will also serve to develop relationships with the National Foundation for the Art? and Humanities, including the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. A growing national concern for the arts and humanities has emphasized the need for such Dean of Women Dorothy L.

Finally, lo amend the Consti tution to provide a four-year term for House members coinciding with Hie presidential term, lo “make it possible for members of Hie House of Representatives lo work more effectively in the service of the nation.” Johnson suggested that this should not be done before 1972. A $lOO,OOO Document Coordination Goal Dean Harris Injured In Skating Fall With i-esped to Vietnam Johnson said that it the necessities of Viet nam dictate it he will return un hesitatingly to Congress for more appropriations and additional rev enues. But at this point he called for no general tax increase. And without raising taxes or in creasing the total bill paid. John son said that we should “impro\e our withholding system so that Americans can more realistically pay as they go.” Demands Centers These include —The establishment of a “clear line of relationship between the Commonwealth and various types of institutions ol' higher education in the state." —The development of a clearly de fined “rationale” in providing state aid to colleges and universities and tiie students themselves. The academy forecast a 255,000 increase in student enrollment at all types of state institutions of higher learning by 1975, al most double the 295,000 present enrollment figure. For this reason, the consultants con- “Pennsylvania can no longer afford the burden of a laigely uncoordinated, unplan ned development of higher education.” 'Education Keystona' The consultants called Penn State “the keystone of public higher education in the state,” but projected a new role for the institution, “Administrative effort should be con centrated on developing excellence in grad uate, professional and doctoral programs, rather than increasing the total number of undergraduate students,” they said.

The Institute is envisioned as an assembly of distinguished scholars, who will spend vary ing amounts of time on the campus, and several resident members.
