BRIGHTON. England—Two former Cabinet ministers led British Laborites into rebellion yesterday against Prime Minister Harold Wilson—winning votes demanding changes in his Vietnam and defense policies. . . But the British leader is certain to shrug aside the demands of his Labor party’s annual convention, knowing if he met them his government soon would be in serious conflict with President Johnson’s administration. One resolution, adopted by the conference by a 3,851,000 to 64,000, vote, puts the onus on Americans to end the Vietnam war by, among other things, ending their North Vietnam bomb strikes. A second resolution, approved 3,470,000 to 2,644,000, called on the government to pull British forces out of Malaysia, Singapore and the Persian Gulf. In a [first reaction, 1 Radio Moscow said the proposals were “unacceptable” because his plan for de-escalating the fighting is “almost an exact copy of American proposals.” The English-language broadcast heard in London said both the American and British proposals call for simul taneous reduction in hostilities on both sides. The Nation University Develops Mechanical Heart INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—A team of Indiana University Medical School scientists announced yesterday they have developed a complete mechanical heart and are ready to 1 implant it in a patient who otherwise would certainly die. It has performed efficiently, without bad side effects, in short-term animal experiments. The investigators said in a statement that 1 they had no intention of removing a patient’s heart and substituting the new device “until it is made necessary by an obviously hopeless clinical situation.” The mechanical heart is only slightly large than the human heart and approaches it in efficiency, the-team said. The power source is an electric motor, which is at tached to a wire brought through the body wall to a bat tery which can be carried in an ordinary brief case. British Secretary, Proposes Peace Plan WASHINGTON U. S. officials yesterday welcomed British Foreign Secretary George Bcown's new six-point plan -for.-peace in Vietnani even rihough it goes- beyond American' policy-on' one vital pohrtP*A'■-- - ---rr, • Brown, led 'off his plan with a. proposition that con founded some officials in i Washington. He proposed that the National Liberation Front', the political facade for the Viet Cong in South Vietnam, be given a direct voice at the peace conference table. The most the United States has ever said is that the'problem could be solved in some manner. Brown' made’ his - peace proposals in a Labor party meeting: He will speak to the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday, and is scheduled to confer with Secretary of State Dean Rusk and President Johnson at the end of next week. California Fears White Backlash SACRAMENTO, Calif Racial strife and voter hostili ty to open housing laws have, raised fears among California Democrats'that a white backlash will hurt Gov. Edmund G. Brown’s chances for reelection, Both Brown and his Repup lican opponent,. Ronald Reagan, have said they’ll try to avoid playing politics with last week’s rioting in San Fran cisco Negro districts, A Brown aide said the governor’s action in calling out the National Guard “came off so well there doesn’t seem to be any backlash.” But he echoed private fears in the Brown camp when he said, “You always figure you're an automatic loser when you have trouble. You’re the manager pf the team and you take the losses.” The violence, just six weeks before the election, renewed talk of the racial issue— a major one in 1964 when Californians, by a more than 2-1 vote, adopted a constitutional amendment that nullified the state law requiring open housing. Inez Swings Toward Yucatan NEW ORLEANS-Erratic Hurricane Inez, blocked from moving up through the Gulf of Mexico by a cold air mass, spun its winds at 110 miles an hour toward Mexico’s Yuca tan Peninsula instead of at the U.S. mainland yesterday. Inez took one vicious blow at Cuba early yesterday before hurtling toward the Yucatan. The Communist island’s tobacco crop, source of the famed Havanna cigars, was' heavily damaged by. driving wind and rain. Inez killed more than'lso persons in the Caribbean, possibly many more in. Haiti.,. | ' The New Orleans Weather Bureau predicted Inez would move late last night into the northern Yucatan peninsula. At 5 p.m., the eye of the hurricane was only 60 miles off the northeast tip of the Yucatan Peninsula and 200 miles northeast of Merida, a Yucatan city of 107,000. j ' ‘ Hr '■ Hr -k The State Shapp Calls Institutions ‘Starved' INDlANA—Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mil ton Shapp said yesterday that the 14 state-owned institu tions of higher education have been starved despite their importance to Pennsylvania; Shapp, in remarks prepared for a speech before stu dents and faculty members of Indiana University of Penn sylvania, .said that he has received complaints from ad ministrators and ’faculty that low salaries have made 'it difficult to hold ,high-quality staff. - ' , The candidate also, called for broadening of the arts and sciences curricula, upgrading, of graduate study opportuni ties and,for teaching fellowships so that state-owned col leges “may become first-class institutions of education and for'education.”, ‘ ; Shafer Demands Reply .to Drought Aid Plea « GETTYSBURG Lt.

Davidson charged that the radical groups have tended to isolate themselves and pro posed that SENSE seek to broaden its mem bership base rather than seek a merger. Several'members raised fears that the merger would embroil SDS in a detailed dis cussion of the best means to end the war in Vietnam similar to the dissension which-split SENSE last winter. Schwartz said he felt that if a merger took place,, SENSE would become the “Viet nam arm of SDS.” A decision on the proposed merger will be made at next Thursday’s meeting after the proposal is presented to SDS. ' SURE To Invite Carmichael Here A motion to invite Stokely Carmichael' to speak on campus' and discussion of the University’s alleged “Negro, problem” were, the primary topics of last night’s meeting of the Student Union for Racial Equality. SURE passed a motion to invite Car michael, national head of the Student Non violent Coordinating Committee, to speak at the University about Black Power sometime during the year. The motion also staled that SURE would be willing to support any other campus organizations which had similar in tentions. - Education of the campus . community to the philosophy and interpretation of black power was.SURE’s stated objective in passing the motion. The organization concurred on the, idea that too many people are taking stands on black power without being fully informed on it. SURE’s President John Warner also told the group about the Ad Hoc Committee for the Culturally Deprived, formed by Univer sity President Eric A. Walker ;last July. The Committee, comprised of 16 faculty members from the sociology, psychology, anthroDology and biophysics departments and continuing ■ education and human resources, was created ,to investigate existing conditions between the. University and potential students who are . culturally deprived. The committee was formed in response to SURE’s request for action on a problem un covered last spring by a, SURE-sponsored questionnaire. SURE pledged to help the com mittee in any way possible. Branch Campuses Called ' (Editor’s-Note: The following is an ac count of an exclusive interview with Charles G. Simpson, former chairman of the Penn sylvania State Council for Higher Education, by two representatives of the University’s Ogontz Campus newspaper— The Ogbntz Campus News.) - By FRANK P. BRENNAN, JR. and . WILLIAM EPSTEIN Charles G. Simpson, ousted chairman of the Pennsylvania State. Council for Higher Education, has taken issue with two recent studies contending that the educational levels' of the University’s commonwealth .campuses! are equal to those at University Park. In a recent interview, Simpson, president of the Philadelphia Gas Works, called the studies, “nonsense," adding: “They don’t . prove a thing.” ’ ' ‘ Simpson referred to a University of California report and a study conducted by the Penn State Placement Service which , showed that' students on branch campuses in the state are offered the same instructional' facilities—curricpla and grading—as are those students on the'■ University’s main campus. . - , Simpson said that while he was a mem ber of the Higher Education Council, he re ceived several report's from professional con sultants ■ stating that commonwealth' cam puses are “educationally inferior.”'. In mid-1965 He received the Field’s Re port, Which ■ recommended no more branch campuses.. Last December, the Afcademy for Educational. Development said the quality of education at branch campuses “raises many questions.”' . ' “I’m no educator,” Simpson stated, “but I know what I’m talking about; I’m going by the words of consultants whose’ sugges- UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7, 1966 Paterno To Speak Tonight At Boston College Rally Coach' Joe Paterno will speak at this evening’s pep rally on the Hetzel Union lawn, where cheerleaders and the Blue Band will help football fans get into the spirit for to morrow’s game against Boston .College, The rally, with WMAJ’s Jim Kefford as host, is scheduled to begin at about 6:45 n.m., according to Bob Kleeblatt (Bth-polilieal sci ence'-Dumont, N.J.) of Block “S” who is in charge of the event. Members of-the football team will also participate in the ‘ rally. “It’ll really'be great if the kids come out and support their team because- it’s going to be a rough game tomorrow,” Kleeblatt said. • Rallies will be held every Friday before home games.

William Scranton. lii-February he was removed as chairman of the Council, and, in July, dismissed outright for his unautho rized release of the group’s then-secret Mas ter Plan to a Philadelphia newspaper. He has caught the public’s eye by exhi biting an outspoken concern for the condi tion of Pennsylvania’s higher education sys tem. Appointed, to■ the' Council in 1963, he has been a, constant critic of the legislature’s education policies and of the governor. When asked how education stacks up in this state, Simpson replied, “It's loaded with . politics,” and urged a political purge of all state colleges. . • r ’ “What this Commonwealth needs is .an independent. State Board of Higher, Educa tion with a staff of its own. All educational agencies should be placed under this Board; in that way, we could prevent education from being handicapped by politics.” The way to ‘'cleanup" education, Simp son insisted; is to give the present -Council • more power. He v also urged that a Board of --Regents be formed to control all state uni versities. J • , He cautioned, however, that such a Board would serve no purpose if the appoint ments to. it .were political. 1 Branch Campuses Dead Asked about the future of commonwealth, campuses; Simpson answered, “I think they’re' dead—branch campuses are finished" , , . Simpson said , the; Council feels the same way about the'branch campus systeirt. “The Simpson Criticizes PSU—Again Six-Nation Visit Planned by LBJ ' WASHINGTON (ff) _ Lyndon B.

None has been in one since the late Franklin D. Roosevelt went to North Africa after most of the World War II fighting there had subsided. Surprise Visit? Still, it would occasion no un due amount of surprise should Johnson show up suddenly and unannounced, under strictest security precautions, some where in Vietnam sometime during the Pacific expedition. As a courtesy to the nations he is visiting, the White House let them spread the word first that the President is coming. Mrs. Johnson will be along. In sketching out some of the details of travel plans, Johnson told a news conference that the First Lady will join in most of his official schedule. But while he is conferring, she will be looking in on “various projects 1 and, historic sites’’ to . gather ideas' for ' such t hings as the beautification program at home. The Persident was ready for 'all sorts of questions on the Pa cific tour and'the Manila con ference, and those topics .and related ones took up the bulk of his nationally televised and broadcast session with report ers.

Penn State now has to struggle' for; appropriations.” . ' ' . ‘ Simpson remarked that other universi ties are offering increased competition to the University. ' The Slate University “Penn State,- ;in the past, liked to. talk of itself as ‘The State University’, but, -with the establishment of Temple University, in Philadelphia, and the University of Pitts burgh as state-affiliated institutions, Penn State saw that it was becoming only “The State University of Centre County’—and it didn’t like it.” , The affiliation of Pitt and Temple, Simp son added, will hasten the demise of branch campuses. Simpson discussed the. alleged “conflict In Jar East -vw: But he started off by an nouncing several diplomatic appointments, including a de cision to send roving ambas sador Lewellyn Thompson back to Moscow for another stint as U.S. ambassador. Thompson al ready had served there almost five years the longest time ever served in the post. Toward the end, Johnson was asked to outline his hopes of what would result from the Pa cific tour. He turned the answer largely into one apply ing to the conference in Manila, which he visits from Oct. 23 to 27. He summed up by saying: “I think generally speaking it will give an opportunity for the leaders of the men who are committed to battle in Vietnam to ( meet and explore ways of finding peace, for bringing an end to the conflict, for making that area of the world prosper ous and peaceful in the years to come. “The invitation, as you know, .was. extended by other coun tries. I am sure that they will have some specific plans to suggest. “I want to be . a good listener as, well as an active partici pant.” All the countries'contributing military help to the allied cause in Vietnam are sending their chiefs of state to Manila.

Rackley was vice president of resident instruction at the University until Septem ber, 1965 when the State Senate confirmed his appointment to serve a four-year term 5 as -State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion. He then resigned his administrative post at the University, taking a leave of ab sence from the faculty. • Simpson'termed Rackley a “refugee from Penn State',” and maintained that by, remain ing on the University faculty, Rackley had a “clear and uncontrov'ertable conflict of in terest” in his state position.- "Here is,an interesting thing; The post of superintendent went vacant for 18 months. ’ Scranton was in a political hot spot, so-.he formed a committee, of which Lt. Gov. Ray-, mond -Shafer was a member. “I tolcl them that no good educator would take . the. job because of the working condi tions. And sure enough, they couldn’t get a suitable n)an. "Then they put the arm on Rackley, and when .1 speak of his conflict of interest, I do so in legal opinions, not as an educator. .But I’d like to know how he can perform his upcoming duties of phasing out the branch campuses, while still being loyal to Penn State. . . There is no doubt that he should sever his connections with, the University," Simp son stated. '• Rackley s reaction was, ‘Try me and see.’ My response to that is; other public officials must purify themselves (of any pos sible conflict) so Rackley ought to cut his relations, or at least remove hintself. from any case involving Penn ritate.” Opportunity For Critique ••See Page 2 SEVEN CENTS laysia is the one country on the trip which will not be repre sented, lacking a military com mitment in Vietnam. He will be leaving Washing tbn on Oct. 17 nonstop for Honolulu to spend the night, then head southwestward Oct. 18 for a refueling stop at Pago Pago, Samoa, then make his' first official visit in New Zea land Oct. 19 to 20. Australia is down for a visit Oct. 21-22, Manila for Oct. ,73- 27. Thailand for Oct. 27-30, Ma laysia for Oct. 30-31 and Korea for Oct. 31-Nov 2. The return trip will be made by of Alaska for a refueling stop with the arrival in Washington late Nov. 2. At one point, Johnson w.as asked whether he would com ment on words from some of his critics that the trip is moti vated largely by political con siderations. “No, I don’t think so,” John son replied softly. “I just think you have to evaluate .the critics and judge the circumstances and draw your own conclu sions.” Ike’s Proposal At another point, a reporter said that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower had said that “We 1 should use whatever is necessary, not excluding nuclear weapons, to end the fighting in Vietnam,” and asked what Johnson thought of such a proposal. “Without passing on the ac curacy of your quotation of President Eisenhower,” the present President answered, “I would say it is a policy of this government to exercise the best, judgment of which we are capable in an attempt to provide the maximum deter rent with a minimum involve ment. The easiest thing we could do is get in a large war with other nations. “We are constantly con cerned, with the dangers of that. At the same time, we have no desire'to captitulate or to retreat so. it has .been the policy- 1 of your present-admin istration, to pro.vide the strength that Gen. William C.

He also said that “grad students should remember that it was at the request of the GSA academic affairs committee that the in troduction of the new French language exam was suspended for the benefit of those stu dents -who had been prepared for the old mode of examina tion.” According to Smith, GSA is currently working on: ' ' • the proposed elimination of French exam fee. • More athletic privileges for graduate students. • a new graduate student center. .
