the armed forces’ leadership had been, developing for
months. Souvanna Phouma reached Paris Thursday and

son Square disaster. All across the city, departmental
comrades mourned their loss.

by the muted roll of drums, the dirge of.a marching band
and the knell of cathedral bells.
“The city doffs its hat with heavy , heart, said Mayor
John V. Lindsay, setting off afoot along the funeral line
of march from 59th Street to 43rd Street with a pause mid
way, for church services.
The mayor slowly walked with other mourners down
an aisle of blue-clad firemen—ls,CiOO in all, 10,000 of them
from other parts of the nation and from Canada as well. As
the bodies were borne past on red fire engines, the men
saluted their fallen fellows.

Johnson Visits Melbourne
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) President
Johnson’s limousine withstood a bombing
with washable paint as Australia’s second
largest city turned out half a million persons
to cheer him yesterday. 1 v
The President laughed oif the red and green
paint incident, telling his staff: “I guess they
just couldn’t stand the size of that turnout.”
He was not touched by the paint tossed l
perhaps by one of Australia’s Vietnam dis
sidents.
The Johnsons had just passed through the
heart of Melbourne to the cheers of the biggest
crowd yet on their Asian trip. It happened
so quickly that eyewitness accounts differed.
According to some a cleancut-looking man
in his 20’s darted out from among bystanders,
got past security guards and smashed a plastic
bag of green paint against the windshield in
front of the driver.
- -Either he, or another youth witnesses
•differed also tossed a bag of red paint that
splashed on the roof and other parts of the
bubbletop limousine. '
With the windows closed, neither the Pres
ident nor the First Lady was hit nor 'hurt.

PSU Press Emphasizes Quality
, By CRUCK MENSCH
; Collegian Staff Writer
Did you know that the University, has a publishing
company?
Well, it’s true. Since its founding just 10 years ago,
the Penn State University Press has been distinguished
as a leader in its field,, producing scholarly books of high
quality and enduring value. > - • . -
Since its birth in 1956 the University'Press has pub-'
lished more than 65 titles, working on the theory that
a good book acts as a roving ambassador, spreading- the
good name of a University far and wide. The Press : 'has
thus fulfilled a basic aim of higher education by providing
a vital medium through which discoveries of'scholarship
can be shared with scholars throughout the world. ,
Ten years ago the Board of Trustees, of the University
established the University Press on an experimental basis
aftpr' extensive planning by the late Louis ,H. Bell, then
director of public information. He became the first, execu
tive director of the Press.
Bell Memorial Award
Following Bell’s death in 1958, the Press established
the Louis H. Bell Memorial Award, providing $l,OOO and a
citation for the best book manuscript‘submitted by a mem
ber' of the teaching or research staff at Penn State. . - !
The first book to be published by the University
Press was “Toward Gettysburg: A'Biography of General

Thousands of Australians Cheer
Paint-Splashed Johnson Limousine
Splattered in their positions outside the lim
ousine were three Secret Service men, including
Rufus Youngblood, Johnson’s, guard in the
Dallas motorcade when President John F.
Kennedy was assassinated.
The young man who threw the paint then
either fell or threw himself in front of the
slowly moving auto. The car stopped and U.S.
Secret Service agents seized him and turned
him over to Australian police. Under Australian
law, his name was withheld.
The presidential couple immediately went
on to their next engagement, a reception at
Government House. The paint smeared so
thickly over the windshield th-f the d d

Distributed Leaflet
Calls for Jewish Action
' Leverett Millen (graduate-clinical psy
chology-Brookline, Mass.), leader of the Hil
lel Liberation Front; and. member Lewis
Weiss (llth-psychology-Elkins Park) dis
tributed leaflets to the attending congrega
tion at last night’s Sabbath services at the
B’nai B’rith, Hillel Foundation.
The leaflet.' “Vietnam Challenges the
Synagogue,” consists of an exchange of let
ters between Charles Gordon, board mem
ber, .and Rabbi Lloyd Tehnenbaum of the
Huntington Jewish Center, Long Island, New
York. '
. Among other points raised in the letter
from Gordon to Rabbi Tennenbaum were;
“Does -Judaism have anything to say
on justice and injustice?”
"Rabbi, a people,- an innocent people, is
being . decimated—shot, displaced, gassed,
burned by napalm, tortured. Rabbi, does
this have anything to do with Judaism?”
“Does being a Jew mean anything, in
terms of ethics and morals?’’
miles away, and it produced the most spec
tacular turnout yet in Johnson’s meet-the
people traveling through six Far East na
tions.
A sea of humanity filled Swanston Street,
the principal downtown throughfare, as the
Johnson motorcade inched through. People
waved out of office windows and stood on
marquees.
Some Australian officials figured the crowd
at a million, out of Melborne’s total population
tion of more than two million. The police
estimate was half a million. All agreed tho
total topped that for Queen Elizabeth II when
she visited in 1963.
The vast majority seemed enthusiastic
about their first glimpse of an American presi
dent in this country. A small, but sometimes
boisterous, minority waved placards and
shouted denunciations of Johnson’s, policy on
Vietnam.

he planned to fly to Australia’s largest city—
a two and one quarter million-population Syd
ney for a similar visit today.
War Planning
Ruled Out
At Conference
, MANILA {/?) - U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk
ruled out war planning at the Manila summit conference
and said yesterday the purpose will be to try to find some
way to 'end the conflict in Vietnam.
Rusk arrived from Washington to join other foreign
ministers in planning for the seven-nation sessions to be
held Monday and Tuesday. President Johnson is due today
from Australia.
The peace theme was stressed by each of the arriving
diplomats and by Foreign Secretary Narcisco Ramos of
the Philippines, who was at Manila’s International Airport
to greet them.
Rusk and Ramos,’ in separate discussions of conference
prospects, emphasized that peace-making is a two-sided
task. Rusk pressed, the question of what the Communists in
Vietnam would do if the United States ordered a new
pause in the bombing of North Vietnam.
“We are interested in what would happen fn event of a
bombing pause,” Rusk declared in words obviously aimed
at Hanoi. “We haven’t beep able to find out.”
. Rusk said the purpose of the conference will not be to
-lay out war’plans, though’there will -Be a review of the
military situation. “We’ll be meeting to consider ways and
means of bringing this war to a conclusion,” he said. “This
is the overriding purpose of the meeting.”
• Paul Hasluck of Australia spoke hopefully of peace
possibilities. The leaders of North Vietnam must now
realize that “a military victory is no longer possible,” he
said. • 1
Ramos recognized the possibility that despite all the
talk about a search for peace the conference here might
fail to find a way to get it.
“If Hanoi continues to reject our efforts, as it has
consistently done until now, what can we do'.’” he asked.
“If the conference fails, it will not be the end of our
efforts. We will try again perhaps in some other way.” i
Hillel Liberation Front
Millen said that most people took the
leaflet with thanks but that two members
refused the leaflet. Weiss said that one
member refused to attend because the leaf
lets were being handed out-on the Sabbath.
Rabbi Norman Goldberg, of Hillel
Foundation, said he was concerned that all
the facts be presented. He said the HLF
had the, right to hand out the leaflet al
though he would have preferred they not
do it on- the Sabbath.
Jacob Schorr (graduate-biochemistry-
Scranton), speaker at the services, read the
leaflet and- departed from a prepared text
to talk about-it. ~ ''
“The majority of the people would agree
with the point of the letter that religion
should concern itself with the social prob
lems of the day,” Rabbi Goldberg said, “It
is part of the prophetic tradition,” he added.
The distribution started at 7:30 and
ended at 8 p.m. Millen said the leaflets will
be passed out at services this morning be
tween 9:30 and 10 a.m.

Although it is relatively young in the field of Uni

Many of the books published by the Press are regularly
reviewed on a worldwide basis and several of its books
are included in the highly, selective White House Library
of Basic American Books. In fact, two of its books,' ‘‘Re
ligious Speeches of Shaw" by Warren Smith, published
in 1963, and "Plato on Immortality” ’by Robert Lee Pat
terson, published this year, have been cited for national
awards. - -
The books which the Press publishes are chosen from
those book manuscripts submitted by' The University-
