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

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.

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.

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.

Robert E. 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.

ALLENTOWN. 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."

—The development of a clearly de

The academy forecast a 255,000 increase
in student enrollment at all types of state

For this reason, the consultants con-
