Secre tary of State Lincoln Gordon said yesterday there are signs of an internal struggle within the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba and "growing discontent and disillusionment with in the general population." Gordon, whose province is "" inter-American affairs, in dicated in an interview that only the "admittedly effi- cient, übiquitous and ruth- less state security apparatus utilized by Castro" is keep ing down public anti-Castro manifestations. He said the action of more than a third of a million Cubans in flee- ing their homeland and registration of about one million more for refugee flights "bespeak in stark terms of the extent of the rejeCtion of the Castro re gime by the Cuban people." Gordon said recent trial's following a claim of the Havana regime of a plot on Prime Minister Castro'4 life, and, purges of leading offi- Cials "certainly are surface indications of widespread tensions in Cuban leader- ship circles." The intelli gence community reported that it• is confident that all strategic missiles introduced into Cuba were withdrawn in,1962 and that none have been reintroduced. TROOPS FIND VIET CONG SUPPLIES: U.S. troops prob ing for jungle terminals of the Ho Chi Minh trail near the Cambodian frontier have turned up 30 large caches of Viet, Cong supplies, one of the richest ever unearthed in Vietnam. They were destroying them yesterday. Aban doned in the face of an advance by the U.S. Ist Infantry Division arid an allied Vietnamese division about 70 miles northwest of Saigon were hundreds of tons of rice, salt, cooking oil and sheet tin. The troops seized 800 black cotton uniforms, enough to clothe two battalions, plus bales of plastic material for ponchos. American fighter& ranged again over North Vietnam but there was no word of fresh contact with the enemy planes.

Kelut volcano bore down yesterday on a densely populated area of East Java, and a major disaster threatened, reports from the scene said. Thirteen deaths were repotted, but the toll was expected to-clirrib as communications _withigie•stricken..area.,were re-establiShed. Trieltfehrrirof lava were reported approach ing the outskirts of Blitar, heavily populated trading cen ter 70 miles' southwest of Surabaya. Communications to Blitar were out. At least seven other villages, each with populations of several thousand persons were said to be in the path of the lava. In all, about 500,000 persons live in the threatened area. The Indonesian news agency An tara said the 5,678-foot-high volcano erupted Monday night and a nearby village was demolished almost at once. First word of the eruption did not reach Jakarta until two days later. Civil defense officials still had few details and few plans were made for going to the aid of. victims. The Nation COURT RULES, AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS: The Su preme Court ruled yesterday the General Motors Corp. and three dealer associations illegally blocked the sale of Chevrolets through discount houses in the Los Angeles - "UT- hl a classic conspiracy in restraint of - -va , trade," Justice Abe Fortas said in announcing . the unanimous decision co n demning the way the auto giant halted such sales in 1960 and 1961. The ruling was a victory for the Justice Department, which brought civil suit against GM and the three associations under the Sherman Antitrust Act, and appears to clear the way for widespread resumption of the discount sales. The high court passed no jud'- ment on the validity of GM dealer selling agreements, cited by General Motors to justify its actions and at tacked by •the Justice De partment. •T h e "location clause" in these agreements prohibits dealers from mov ing to new locations with out Chevrolet's 'written ap proval. This, in essence, GM ABE FORTAS 'argued, is what several dealers in the Los Angeles area did in selling cars through discount houses.

Frank Dyson said the flooding was the worst since levees were installed on the nearby Trinity River in the 1930'5. Power failed in various sections of the city of 750,000 and scores of flooded streets turned rush-hour traffic into a chaotic snarl. One of the dead was identified as W. L. Perryman, 44, presi dent of General American Oil Co. • The State COURT MARTIAL FINDINGS REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL: Gov.

PENN STATE In last night's special meeting, Katzenstein spoke out against the tentative proposals and chastised the Administra tion, claiming it had - "turned a deaf ear to all student groups." "The rules are antique, archaic and victorian," Katzen stein said. "The people who are trying to enforce them have the same kind of thinking aparently," he added .. The USG president seemed most disturbed about what he claimed was a "mockery of USG." "The Administration has listened to us and then just told us to go away," he said. "We're just playing games, we're told what to do and then we have to do it just like pawns," he continued emphatically. "So, in the end it just doesn't matter. We're just beating our heads against a wall," he said. "Many people have told me that the Administrators have been listening to us, but when the dean of men can Come up with something so ludicrous as these proposals, that means they haven't been listening to us at all," Katzenstein, went on. "The Administrative Committee has ignored all student groups," he-stated, Despite Congress' unanimous passage of the bill, a "point by point" examination of the bill suggested by John Hunt, Interfraternity Council president opened up much discussion on the original wording.

More than 150 persons including students, faculty, administrators and townspeople heard the talk sponsored by Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. According .to Levine, the drug with the most dangerous implication for toddy's society is marijuana. The Federal Narcotics Bureau officially classified marijuana with opium and cocaine-derived drugs and syn thetic drugs as a member of the class of drugs called narcotics. These are the drugs con trolled by the FNB. Levine explained that marijuana is the most dangerous of the narcotic group because it motivates the user to graduate himself to more powerful' narcotics and the dangermis drugs." Listed as "dangerous drugs" used after marijuana were amphetamines, barbit uates and hallucincgenics such as LSD. These "dangerous" drugs are not officially listed as narcotics and therefore are not under the jursidiction of the FNB. As the initiator in the drug addiction pro cess marijuana produces what was called by Levine as "illegal, antisocial and deviant be havior expression." 4, 1 44^, Quoting a report by the World Health Or ganization of the United Nations, Levine listed some examples of "behavior expression" caused by marijuana. The list included halarity, illusions, delusions, lethergy, self neglect, violence and behavior leading to psycotic spisodes. - "The extent of marijuana being used by students on college campuses could be com pared," said 'Levine, " to an iceberg—much more than meets the eye." Levine said that according to current statistics, arrests for drug usage have been made at more• than 100 colleges. He illustrated the magnitude of the problem by citing two instances of college stu dents arrested in Philadelphia with 16 and 22 pounds of marijuana in their possession, -One pound of marijuana makes at least 2,500 reefers.' "There has been an alarming upsurge in • use 'of marijuana • and the dangerous drugs," said Levine. "Yet - the student users are not members of deprived social ghettos, but of good affluent homes. Therefore, the problem icannot be social,' economic or .academic OPUS Katzenstein explained, "Yes, it is a philosophy, it's basic principle that we feel students have the right to privacy in apartments off campus. The University's jurisdiction siio,id extend only to the boarders on campus and not past College Avenue," he said. In a subsequent vote, Congress voted to accept the point adding the student's "right to privacy" is subject only to civil law." Hunt meanwhile, continually stressed that USG "must not let its emotions take first place over responsibility" arguing that the bill used too harsh working in places. Hunt maintained that he was not being "a puppet for the administration" by calling for tamer wording. He ex plained that he wanted a bill "written in a mature way free from the initial emotionalism that accompanies some thing like this." In the final vote, though, he voted to approve the bill in its final form. In other USG legislation last night, Congress unnimously passed a ball to recommend the University Senate to estab lish a Human Relation Committee. This committee, to be assisted by a similar USG human relations committee, would investigate ."any possible dis crimination on campus." If such discrimination is found to be the case, according to the bill, the committees would try to find ways to remedy it and give students who feel they have been discriminated against "channels to voice their complaints." Initiator of, Addiction Accepted Point Arts 111. privation." Levine concluded the yeasons for use have complicated sociological and psycho logical basises. • Garbage Literature One of the reasons for the increase in marijuana use was what Levine described as "garbage literature" which is being distributed on the college campuses. This material "paints a pretty picture of escape thrOugh the use of drugs and thereby induces students to try marijuana," he said. Levine also condemned college professors who have been supporting the use of mari juana on the grounds its use is not addiction. Levine commented: ". . . neither is arsenic addicting." The professors, said Levine, are wrong to stand behind marijuana use. Mari juana's impairment of an individual's social functioning is dangerous to the person, people around him and the whole community. Levine advised professors who have. spon sored marijuana use "to speak only on sub jects in which they have competency and knowl edge."• Competency, he defined is "a specific education in narcotics and their true implica tion and knowledge of recent responsible litera ture on narcotics. New York Professor Levine noted an instance of a New York professor who decreed "marijuana is not in the least dangerous unless a person is lacking strong committments and definite goals." With regard to this declaration Levine asked, "What students today are not lacking strong corn mittment and definite goals?" In discussing the kind of college student who is a user of marijuana, Levine noted most of the known users have turned out to be students of the humanities and the social sciences: English majors have the largest per centage of known users. As for the total picture of college students -Levine said "the vast majority of students are not involved in mari juana usage and could not be induced to try it. On the other hand, there are those who can not be. educated to appreciate the dangers of marijuana." Levine said the - most important group of students are those who can't decide if they want to try marijuana. These people, he said, , are called the "middle-of-the-roaders." Levine called most students "reasonable, humanitarian, responsible members of their academic community." However, he warned a basic characteristic of narcotic users is their "missionary zeal:" a tendency to convert others to drug use. ,This problem, often called the "social contagin property of narcotics," Levine called one of the biggest :problems in drug addition' prevention today. • If You Care, Come —See Page 2 SIX CENTS
