Two More U.S. Planes Lost in Vietnam
SAIGON The toll of U.S. planes lost in five years of
the Vietnam war grew to 540 with the disclosure yesterday
of two more plane losses not previously announced. The
U.S. Command also reported that 216 American helicopters
have been lost.
In the air war itself, monsoon storms continued to
hamper American raids against the Communists both in
North and South Vietnam. U.S. pilots were able to fly
only 21 bombing missions over North Vietnam Monday,
the lowest number since last May 25.
The weather, however, did not affect the high-flying
B-52’ bombers from Guam, which made two dawn raids
yesterday on two suspected Viet Cong troop concentrations
65 miles northwest of Saigon near the Cambodian border.
In ground action, South Vietnamese government troops
overran a Viet Cong prison camp Monday and liberated
13 handcuffed South Vietnamese soldiers and five women,
including a Roman Catholic nun.

Rubidium May Help Detect Cancer
TOKYO A penny’s worth of radioactive rubidium-86
atoms holds the promise of answering some-questions about
cancer, according to Drs. Kenneth G. Scott and John M.
Vogel of San Francisco. ,
The doctors, speaking before the 9th International
Cancer Congress yesterday, said.that red blood cells of
persons with cancer are usually leaky”, the cell walls
are more permeable compared with red cells of healthy
persons. Tests can then be conducted by mixing blood
samples with tiny amounts of rubidium. The rubidium
moves through .the red cells about 20 times faster, and leaks
out faster, in persons who have cancer. Enough rubidium
for one test costs about a pfnny.
Several groups of physicians have been evaluating the
test on a total of abqut 1,000 persons, the researchers said.

Four More Jurors Picked for Sheppard Trial
CLEVELAND Four'more jurors were seated tem
porarily in the Samuel H. Sheppard‘murder case yesterday,
after undergoing extensive examinations on their feelings
about circumstantial evidence. -
Five men and five women were seated conditionally
in the jury box when the retrial of Sheppard in the 1954
slaying of his wife, Marilyn, was adjourned ovenight at the
end of the second day.
Four other prospects were eliminated during the day
one of them after having voiced reservations about cir
cumstantial evidence, upon which the state has built its
12 year-old case against Sheppard.’'
Thedefense, in- its questioning, concentrated on the
presumption of Shepnard’s innocence. The defendant served
nine years in prisqn for second-degree murder, but the U.S.
Supreme Court reversed the original verdict and ordered
a retrial. '

Scranton Lauds Shafer at GOP Dinner
HARRISBURG Gov. Scranton last night portrayed
Lt. Gov. Raymond P. Shafer, the Republican gubernatorial
nominee, as a man “eminently qualified”' to be governor,
and then made his strongest attack of the campaign on
Shafer’s Democratic opponent,' Milton J. Shapp. '
Scranton, speaking at the GOP’s annual $lOO-a-plate
fund-raising dinner, referred to Shapp as the “candidate
who isn’t here.” He said that in Shapp’s eyes “everything
is a fake and a fraud.” , ,
.. After being' introduced by Scranton, Shafer told the
crowd, “We are going to win."
Shapp Reports , Bribe Attempt
PHILADELPHIA Milton J. Shapp, Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, isaid yesterday he was offered
campaign contributions up to $lOO,OOO from people inter
ested' in naming political appointees to three important
state offices.
“I turnedthem down flatly,” said Shapp, a millionaire
Philadelphia businessman. ‘'That’s'one advantage of being
reasonably wealthy. You don't have to play that kind of
> politics to finance your campaign.” >
Shapp said the offers came in connection with ap
pointments', of a new insurance commissioner, a member of
the Milk Control Commission and a member of : the Public
Utility Commission. He refused, however, to identify the
sources of the three separate offers, other than to say they
were parties “concerned with” the interests of their re
rprises. :

Viet Allies End Summit
By WUUAM L. RYAN
AP Special Correspondent
MANILA (AP) The allies in Vietnam
resolved' last night to. pursue, the 1 war-there
“until the aggression is ended” but offered
then to withdraw outside military forces within,
six months as North' Vietnam pulls out of
the south, and violence ebbs. , -
The offer of withdrawal had the ring of. a
challenging bid for peace because it bore down
on the central argument raised by the Com
munist side that.the United States intends to
stay indefinitely and' that no peace is possible
without American withdrawal..
The allied bid for settlement was in a final
communique of the.seyen-nation Manila summit
meeting which also' produced a statement on
“the goals of freedom”'and a “declaration on
peace and progress in Asia and the Pacific.'
Concerning the foreign forces in South Viet
nam, now numbering. 370,000,: the communique
said: - - ‘•; :’’ r ‘ ''
“They shall be withdrawn,' after close con
sultation, as the other side withdraws its forces
to the north, ceases infiltration and the level'
of violence thus subsides. Those forces will be

Vietnam, mindful of past experience, would
“insist that any negotiations leading to . the

Fraternity Fires
Spark Inspection
By CHARLES REDMOND
Collegian Staff Writer
Last winter Sigma Nu fraternity experi
enced a devastating fire. Last summer the
Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity house was dam
aged by fire. Consequently, the Interfraternity
Council with the co-operation of the borough
housing inspector, Francis Faxon, began a
systematic inspection of all the fraternity
houses in town.
According to Bernie Oczkowski (16th-elec
trical-aero enginesring-Rutledge), chairman of
the IFC Safety Council, the council has existed
for more than 10 years, but because of a “lack
of pressing need,” it has always been inactive.
“Most of the fraternity houses in town
were built around 1920 and at that time com
pletely satisfied the borough housing require
ments. But the town housing code has grown
bigger year by year and none of the houses
now specifically meet the borough safety re
quirements,” Oczkowski said.
Fires Spark Action
The two fraternity house fires this "ear
brought action. “We figured that wt average ,
about one fire every two years, but it is only
when the fires occur in the same year that
everyone realizes the need to do something,’
Oczkowski said.
Last year the Safety Council sent flyers
out to the various fraternities requesting in
formation about the condition of their houses.
The answers were sufficient for the housing
codes of 10 years ago. Immediately after this
term began, the council contacted Faxon to
see what could be done to eliminate the fire
hazards that existed in' the houses.
Faxon and the borough engineering depart
ment agreed to inspect the houses. With the

mock -elections proposal, supporting- it

election is an exercise in democratic
thought,” and urged students to take
interest in the project.
The status of the Univer
sity as public or private will
be investigated by SDS. The
status of University regula
tions was discussed and study
will provide clarification on
the constitutionality of some
rules, affecting undergrad

Safety Council acting as agent and setting the
dates and times for the inspections, Faxon and
a member of the Safety Council have begun
to inspect two houses a day. At present they
have inspected nine houses and plan to finish,
and initial inspections by Thanksgiving. The
subsequent inspections will be made on the
basis of the severity of existing fire hazards.
Faxon said he is looking for stairwells
lined with stonerock. “A house with this-type
of staircase will last for an hour and a half
more than will a house with a panelled staircase
Faxon said. Doors that swing out instead of
in are also a requirement that few of the houses
can meet at present, he said. “In cases like
that ,the decision as to what to do is very
hard for me, I know that in order to remedy
the situation the houses will have to spend
several hundred dollars, so I usually tell them
to fix the other items and to let that go for
the present” Faxon said.
According to Oczkowski, “It’s like the
preservation of the society: we were only, pro
tecting ourselves when we decided to inspect
these houses, and so far everyone has been
really co-operative the houses, the borough
and the IFC.”
Besides the outward swinging doors, Faxon
said that the houses also need an emergency
lighting system and a fire alarm system.
Oczkowski said "Of course when these houses
were built emergency lighting and alarm sys
tems weren’t around. These boys didn't create
the problems that exist, they inherited them
from their brothers.”
