China Develops Nuclear Missile System
TOKYO Red China claimed the development of a
missile system to carry nuclear bombs. It announced a
guided missile with a nuclear warhead,, launched yesterday,
‘‘accurately hit the target at the appointed distance, effect
ing a nuclear explosion.”
i How far the missile traveled was withheld, but the
test recalled a prediction last March by U.S. Secretary of
Defense Robert S. McNamara that the Chinese within two
, or three years would have an atomic strike capability of
500 to 700 miles.
The blast—the fourth announced by Peking since 1964
■ —came while President Johnson was visiting neighboring
Thailand. It thus raised speculation that its timing may
have been designed to take Asian eyes off the President’s
trip and the aftermath of the Manila Conference.

Russia Pledges Goods, Cash to No. Vietnam
WARSAW The Soviet Union and its -allies have
reluctantly but resolutely pledged approximately a billion
dollars in goods and cash to Communist North Vietnam, in
formed Polish sources said yesterday.
They reported the war chest was collected at. the
recent Soviet bloc summit conference in Moscow and
written pledges have been given to a representative of
Ho Chi Minh’s Hanoi government. Official confirmation
could not be obtained here. '
The idea of sending volunteers to North Vietnam has
been abandoned, the sources said, because “the Vietnamese
don’t want ia foreign legion. European troops would be
worthless. They want goods and cash" for munitions, medi
cine and other supplies.
. • Moscow’s pledge was stated as $BOO million and the
total of the other East European Communist contributions
as about $2OO million. A Polish source, asked if this is for
a specified period of time, said “this is for right now. God
knows what will be needed four months from now.”

Johnson Claims 'Shield ‘ Prevents Aggression
BANGKOK, Thailand—ln a 'challenge to North Viet
nam, President Johnson says the United States and its
allies in South Vietnam have built a military shield
strong enough to prevent the aggressor from succeeding.”
Until North Vietnam withdraws its forces, Johnson
said yesterday, “we must continue to resist the aggression
that threatens South Vietnam.
“We do) so because we believe that the Communists
will unbolt the door to peace only when they are con-'
vinced their military campaign cannot succeed,” he added.
The speech was taped in Manila and released as John
son spent the day relaxing at the resort village of Bang
Saen.
He goes by helicopter today 68 miles northwest to
Bangkok where he is to be welcomed by King Bhumibol
and Queen Sirikit. - ‘ ■

FMur^&ermgfrMinisters-Resign
BONN—-Chancellor Ludwig Erhard decided yesterday,
to run West Germany with a minority government after
four ministers of-the Free Democratic Party resigned in
a budget dispute. : . "
It was the first time in’the history of the 17 yearrold
Federal Republic that this has been tried. Erhard’s Chris
tian Democratic Party has only 245 of the 496 votes in
the Bundestag, but he can be overthrown only if the'op
position gets together and elects a new man.. This has
never been 'tried, either. 1
The crisis arose over the 1967 budget, heavily bur
dened by promises to buy arms in the United States.
Erhard saw no way to balance it except by raising taxes.
The Free Democratics', with important local elections com
ing up, -resigned rather than approve. ’'
Erhard replaced them with Christian Democrats who
will take on'those jobs in addition to their own.

USG-SDS Committee Set Up
Congress Passes
By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER
Collegian USG Reporter
The Undergraduate Student Govern
ment voted 1 last night to set up a com
mittee to prepare .legislation for a student
faculty governing board.
The board, headed by Town Congress
man Bruce Macomber, editor of the Stu
dent-Faculty Dialogue, consists of ten USG
congressmen and ten SDS members. The
group must meet twice before the next
USG meeting scheduled in |two weeks and
must come up with a bill to establish a
student faculty board to draw up student
regulations currently handled by the ad
ministration.
In the meeting last night, attended by
the SDS members hurling challenges' to
Congress and calling for cooperation in
instituting the proposals (see adjacent
.. story), Congress also passed two major
pieces of legislation.
Student Poll
A bill calling for a poll of students on
the University Senate’s proposed final ex
amination period, passed during a.pause
from the SDS discussion. According to the
Senate proposal, all finals would be given’
during the week following the tenth week
of each term. No finals would be given
during the last week of classes, the week
being used for review instead.
The bill provides for a student refer
endum by the third week of winter term to
find out whether the majority of students
agree with the system. Another poll will
be conducted during the spring USG ex
ecutive elections to determine student
opinion at that time.

Results from I the polls will then be
submitted to the Senate when it meets to
reconsider the system in late spring or
summer.
USG took a’similar sampling during
last week’s Congressional elections. In
cluded on the ballots was a question ask
ing whether the student approved of the
proposed final period. Results showed al
most two to one opposition to the program
of the approximately 10 per cent student
vote.
Congress also passed a bill to estab
lish an Administrative Awareness Com
mittee to work in conjunction with the
Legal Awareness and Academic Aware
ness Committees set up last year.
According to the bill, the committee
will “serve any students with problems or
grievances in the Administrative sphere.”
This includes any student complaints on
University facilities, rules and regulations
and administrative personnel. Complaints
the committee finds valid will then' go
through “appropriate channels” for even
tual possible settlement.
Another bill to permit campus sales
of off-campus publications, originally
slated for the agenda, was not included in
the meeting. USG President Richard Kal-'
ich explained that more time was neces

said the bill will be considered at a future
meeting. ' \

Bill Not Included
Group Members,Offer Challenge
By STEVE ACCARDY
Collegian Staff Writer
The Undergraduate Student Govern
ment meeting was visited last night by
37 members of the Penn State chapter of
Students for a Democratic Society.
SDS Chairman Max' Molinaro (4th
liberal arts - Philadelphia), read a state
ment to the USG Congress which was
encircled by the members of SDS, The
statement demanded that:
• “The Senate Policies and Rules for
Undergraduate Students and the Guide
to University Regulations concerning
Student Affairs, Conduct and Discipline
are hereby .declared null and void.”'
• ‘‘The office of Student Affairs be
no longer recognized and the authority
usurped by that office be assumed by the
students.”
•“A student judiciary cohtrolled by
and responsible only to students of The
Pennsylvania State University be estab
lished.”
The last two points provided that
student funds be handled by students
only and not the Administration and that
student organizations be allowed to sell
-their own publications all year round to
raise funds. The present ruling allows for
three days of fund raising each term,
The, SDS statement was adopted by
the USG Congress to be considered for
discussion!
The- preface to the SDS proposal'
stated that USG “is not now, nor has 1
ever been, a legitimate student govern
ment, but a mere appendage of Adminis
trative powey.”,

UN Cuts Territorial
Hule of South Africa
UNITED' NATIONS, N.Y. (/P) The
U.N. General Assembly proclaimed last night
the termination of South Africa’s mandate
aver, South-West Africa. It declared that
henceforth the giant-territory “is a direct
responsibility of the United Nations".
Culminating a .long, bitter debate, the
121-nation assembly approved by a vote of
114 to 2 with three abstentions a resolution
setting out- the most drastic U.N. action
ever contemplated in an dffort to compel
South Africa to give up its rule over the
territory, roughly the size of , Texas and
York State combined. >
Advance Warning
Hilgard Muller, South Africa’s foreign
minister, warned the assembly in advance
that his country regarded the resolution as
illegal and therefore could not he expected
to agree to its demands. He warned also of
consequences that could stem from what he
described as ‘‘reckless action.”
i
Equipment for Tomorrow's Las Vegas Night
SDS “demanded” that USG pass the
resolutions as the first step to student
power at the University.
A motion was presented and subse
quently adopted to change the preface.
The SDS proposal now under considera
tion by USG reads: SDS “requests that
the following resolutions be considered"
by USG Congress.
Objection Rejected
An SDS objection to the changing
of its own proposal was rejected on the
grounds that the proposal had become
a USG bill and was therefore under USG
control. Richard Kalich, USG president,
said thaj USG is autonomous and as
sumed responsibility for the altered pro
posal. .
The SDS members entered the room
at 7:50 p.m., 50 minutes after the USG
meeting had begun. After the reading of
the statement and some discussion, the
SDS proposal was placed on the agenda.
David Zurndorfer, USG treasurer,
characterized the SDS proposals as des
tined for “defeat due to ignorance.’’
Leonard Berkowitz, town congressman,
said “this is the time” for USG to be dis
cussing the issues presented by SDS.
'Berkowitz appealed strongly to USG “to
recognize its responsibilities” and set
aside their items on the agenda, which he
termed “petty,”
A motion to table discussion until
the next' meeting so that USG members
could study the proposal was withdrawn.
Berkowitz said that “there is a great
