Peking Calls For Leaders To Repent
TOKYO—Radio Peking called last night on "strayed
leaders" to repent and "join the. burning force of the great
cultural revolution." It admitted there was "a handful"
of forces opposed to Mao Tse-tung in Communist party
and military circles.
"The Chinese Communist party Central Committee
calls on leaders who made general mistakes and those who
made major mistakes but are not anti-Socialist to inane
diately correct their mistakes," said the broadcast, quoting
- an editorial in the ideological journal Red Flag. The edi
torial was aimed at followers of President Liu Shao Chi,
the chief target of the purge.
The Hong Kong Evening Post, quoting diplomatic
sources in Peking, said Liu had left the Chinese capital
with several trusted friends and gone to Shihchiachuan,
a railway center 160 miles to the southwest. The paper
described Shihchiachuan as a Liu stronghold where he
has widespread support from factory workers. The paper
added that he was "ready for an all out attack against
Mao."
Israel and Syria Exchange Words
JERUSALEM Israel and Syria exchanged angry
words yesterday
,on the heels of an appeal from United
Nations Secretary General U Thant to maintain the peace.
Israel declared it cannot tolerate any more "aggressive
act's," and Syria accused the Israelis of "aggressive inten
tions."
But Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban told the Unit
ed Nations that Israel would be willing to meet Syria
to discuss frontier troubles that have brought the nations
close to war. He warned, however, that Israel had "the
strength and the will" to face up to Syrian threats and
"we have reached a limit." A communique in Damascus
said Syria had reecived Thant's appeal and had cabled
its delegation to inform Thant of the situation "which con
firms Israel's aggressive intentions, and the military build
up which is being mounted to bring pressure on Syria."
Eban told reporters Israel had built up arms along
the border, as reported by Thant in his appeal Sunday.
Syria, on the other hand, mentioned no arms buildup on
its side as reported by Thant.

Court Rules on Police Confessions
WASHINGTON—States may not prosecute policemen
for official wrongdoing on the basis of confessions. given
"under threat of removal from office," the Supreme Court
ruled yesterday. And lawyers many not be disbarred for
refusing, on Fifth Amendment grounds, to testify during
official investigations into their ethics, the high court held.
The' e tecisiOn:S; 'both - by' 5=4 votes; furthe.F bind the
States to respect the privilege against self incrimination
provided by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Dissenting justices objected that the rulings will make
it more difficult for the states to maintain the integrity
of local police forces and of lawyers in private practice.
Justice William 0. Douglas gave the majority opinion in
two cases. "Policemen, like teachers and lawyers, are not
relegated to a watered down version of constitutional
rights," Douglas said. "These are rights of constitutional
stature whose exercise a state may not condition by the
exaction of a price."
Spectacular Fire Hits Exposition Center
CHICAGO —A spectadular fire raced through the huge
McCormick Place Exposition Center on the lakefront early
yesterday causing damage estimated between $l2O and $l4O
million. One death was reported.
Vincent Mathews, 51, a security guard who discovered
the blaze, was credited with saving the lives of most of the
estimated 150 persons in the building at the time. He
_flashed an alert on his walkie talkie to security headquar
ters and then raced through the halls shouting a fire warn
ing. However, firemen searching the ruins after the fire
was brought under control, found the body of a. man
burned beyond recognition.
The six-year -old McCormick Place, built of steel and
reinforced concrete composition, was once described as
more durable than the Roman Colosseum.
The blaze was discovered about 2 a.m. near an exhibit
of the National Housewares Manufacturers Association
show which vlas set to open yesterday. Flames race through
the exhibition hall of the ten-acre structure as security
guards and cleaning employes fled for their lives.
Federal Judge Orders Strikers To Work
BALTIMORE A federal judge ordered teletype and
telephone operators of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad back
to work yesterday after a brief strike almost shut down
operations of the nation's sixth largest railroad.
The temporary restraining order signed by Chief Judge
Roszel C. Thomsen of U.S. District Court prohibits the
transportation communication employees union from striking
for ten days. It also directs the B & 0 opt to abolish certain
jobs involving union members and not to -fill any of six
jobs over which the dispute arose.
The strike began at 6 a.m. in Baltimore. Russell J.
Woodman, union vice president, said the union's 1,300 mem
bers were instructed at noon to stop picketing and report
back to work.' The order prohibited the union from picketing,
interfering with movement of cargo
,or passengers and from
inducing an employee to not perform. his work. -
The walkout grew out of a jurisdictional argument in
volving installation of computers which will give more in
formation on' whereabouts of trains operating in the B&O's
12-state area.

Percy Speaks in Harrisburg
HARRISBURG IT. S. Sen. Charles H. Percy, (R 411.),
predicted last night that Gay.-elect Raymond P. Shafer
would carry on what he termed "the cause of progressive
Republicanism" that marked Gov. William Scranton's
administration.
The 47-year-old Percy, who defeated Illinois' veteran
Democratic Sen. Paul Douglas last November, was the
/ feature speaker at a $lOO-a-plate victory dinner in the
Farm Show Building on- the eve of Shafer's inauguration
as Pennsylvania's 39th governor. About 4,000 party digna
taries and rank and file members attended the dinner,
which was held to help pay a $400,000 debt incurred by the
Shafer ticket.
In praising the out-going administration Percy said
that Scranton's programs had helped "to restore respec
tability to State government," and established a model for
other 'States to follow.

Kalich Vetoes WUS
By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER
Collegian USG Reporter
Undergraduate Student Government Presi
dent Richard Kalich, exercising an executive
power last used over .three years ago, has
vetoed a bill to provide $lOO to cover ,expenses
of an "International Awareness Week" under
the auspices of the World University Service.
USG's strict budget allocation this term,
clamping a tight rein on all expenditures,
prompted the action, Kalich explained last
night.
The bill, however, is not dead. A two-thirds
vote of Congress can override Kalich's veto
when the bill is brought up at the next USG
meeting.
Program of Speakers
Authored by Sophomore Class President
Jon Fox, the bill called for a week-long pro
gram of speakers forums, films and workshops
to be held this term. Student contributions

Opinion For NDSL Loans Offered
By LESLIE KAY
Collegian Administration
Reporter
There are six alternatives to the
National Defense Student Loan pro
gram; whether they can stop the gap
made by its recent cancellation remains
to be seen.
"There is no way of predicting the
effects of the cancellation," Director of
Student Aid Ralph N. Krecker said.
"Those students who used to have the
National Defense Loan may be able
to get it from the state—or they may
not.
"I would presume," he added, "that
a lot of students can obtain loans
through new state programs provided
by the Federal Higher Education Act
of 1965."
By passing this Act, Krecker ex
plained, Congress authorized the es
tablishment of loan agencies in all 50
states, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico. In Pennsylvania, the

has already provided guaranteed loans

tional facilities there.
Fox 'said he will resubmit the original bill
at a special USG session Thursday night.
USG passed the bill at a meeting last
Thursday night after relatively minor debate
o v er whether Congress would be acting too
hastily in appropriating the funds.
- .,'USG Treasurer David Zurndorfer told
Congress . then to "not give out money to the
first charity in the door," adding that the
University had substantially reduced its usual
allocation to the USG budget.
Last night Zurndorfer said that USG is
working on a budget "much less than last
sides (SURE and the protesters). The Rev.
Mr. Alan R. Cleeton, director of the Wesley
Foundation, said "the only reason white
people want to go into that meeting is be
cause they feel guilty." He equated the
closed session with that of a "Jewish fra
ternity or a sorority initiation." The demon
strators said they were equally opposed to
the situations cited by Cleeton.
"When people demonstrated against
segregation in the South they weren't talk
ing about academic things. They're talking
about not being able to vote. They're talking
about not being able to get an education, liv
ing in rat traps," Warner said. He claimed
that the protesters had no concrete issue to
back their demonstration.

"It was the idea of the U.S. federal
government," McKay •Donkin, Vice
President for Finance, said, "that these
state loan agencies would eventually
do away with the NDSL program."
Congress, at that time, realized
the high costs of maintaining the Na
tional Defense program and was con
sidering. loans on a state basis as a
substitute. It passed the Higher Edu
cation Act, but decided to continue the
NDSL program for another year.
The University decided last month
that the $132,000 needed to administer
the program was "too great a financial
burden," and that it should be dropped
as of this summer term.
"The NDSL was always considered
an •interim program anyway," Donkin
said. "It was
, meant to last only until
a more permanent one could come
about." The Board of Trustees, after a
trial period of one year, decided that
the state loan was more lucrative.

WUS Begins Activities
With Ghana Adviser
By ANI4 WORRAIL
Collegian Staff Writer
Jacob Wilmont, United Nations adviser
to - the Ghana delegation, will speak at 7:30
tomorrow night in 10 Sparks. Sponsored
by the World University Service. Wilmont
will kick-off two weeks of WUS activity
on campus, culminating in a fund-raising
drive Jan. 26 and 27.
According to WUS chairman Martin
Ghen, the campaign has a double purpose:
to collect funds and to serve as a form of
international education. Wilmont, he - said,
will discuss the economic and political prob
lems of development in Africa. The speech
is open to all students. -
According to Ghen, representatives from
the Peace Corps, International Hospitality
Council and Cultural Exchange, VISA and
WUS will participate in a panel discussion
at 7:30 Thursday in 111 Boucke.
The week of Jan. 22-27, which has been
designated as International Awareness Week,
he said, will feature a series of lectures,
to the White Citizens Council meetings,"
Warner said.
Describing SURE as having been an or
ganization for white people, Warner said
"Now we're going to make the Student Un
ion for Racial Equality mean something for
Blacks. You're protesting something that is
trivial," he said.
"SURE is now part of a long history of
stupid racism," Samuel Roll, one of the
demonstrators, said. Rolls agreed to War
ner's claim that the all black meeting is not
as bad as some other actions. "In accepting
a lesser evil to prevent a greater evil you're
quoting Lyndon Johnson. You're very smart
to quote Johnson," Roll told Warner.
The discussion held immediately outside
the all black meeting broke up amiably.
According to Krecker, the state
loans, along with the Commonwealth
Undergraduate Scholarships, should be
able to fill the Sl-million hole left by
the National Defense program. Finan
.cial limits, he explained, depend on
state banks, but there should be a suf
ficient number of loans available.
In addition, students can obtain
money through Educational Oppor
tunity Grants, University Scholarships
and University Loan Funds. Or they
can earn it through the student part
time employment program, as 3500
students did in 1965-66. Altogether,
these programs provided approximate
ly $3,300,000 in. loans and scholarships
last year.
There is no need to panic, Donkin
said in response to protests of the can
cellation from various student groups.
However, the Board of Trustees may
be able to re-institute the National
Defense program if it is found to be
necessary after a review of its de-
college 'in the Commonwealth of Virginia in
continuous operation.
Patrick Henry and James Madison were
membei-s of the college's first Board of Trus
tees, and President William Henry Harrison
was a member of the class of 1791. The college
charter; written by James Madison, was of
ficially 'granted by the Commonwealth in 1783.
The college offers both the B.A. and the
B.S. degree. Eight national social fraternities
have chapters and houses at the campus.

Committee for the fiscal 1967-68," he said
Kalich explained last night he vetoed the
bill because "a precedent would be estab
lished of contributing to worthwhile charities
from USG funds," Secondly, Kalich went on,
"An investigation of other worthwhile charities
was not conducted (the allocation was USG' ,
first contribution to a charity this term) and
without such an investigation it is • c
inatory to arbitrarily donate funds to this par
ticular
_charity, especially when futu,e con
tributions to other charities is prohibited by
existing funds in the USG budget.
"Surplus funds to be used for charitable
contributions are not available in the currently
lean USG budget," Kalich added, "and pro
visions for such funds are not made in the
1966-67 budget." -
Commenting on the bill last night, Fox
said that NUS, "unlike other worthwhile stu
dent groups" fills a specific need for students
to educate themselves. By its nature," - he con
tinued, "it can only oopeal to the world corn

may purchase an hour's worth of time for

The World University Service is en

"I hope something constructive does come
from this meeting even though it is destruc

still talking with Warner, a Negro Univer

Model U.N. Program
Dedicated to Kennedy
Robert Kleeblatt, secretary general of the Model United
Nations announced today that this year's program will be
dedicated to the late President John F. Kennedy.
"In our opinion," Kleeblatt said, "Kennedy was a great
man who lived and died for the ideals of peace and freedom
among the nations of the world."
The dedication he said, is particularly relevant in view
of the late President's statement about the United Nations
in his inaugural address Jan. 20, 1961:
"To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United
Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments
of war have far outspaced the instruments of peace, we
renew our pledge of support to prevent it from be
coming merely a forum for invective to strengthen its
shield of the new and the weak and to enlarge the area
in which its writ may run."
And, "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what
America will do for you, but what together we can do for
the freedom of men."
A meeting for all delegation chairmen will be held at
7:30 tomorrow night in.7l Willard. Delegations are asked
fo pay the five dollar registration fee at that time. All
delectation chairmen are asked to be present.
"This is the fifth year that the program has been in
existence," Kleeblatt said, "and we think that it will be
the most interesting and successful of them all." The dele
gations to the Model U.N. include 10 from five common
wealth campuses and one from Lock Haven State College.
Committee members include: Nina Laserson (Bth-En
glish-Scarsdale, N.Y.) vice president; Dale Mosier (I lth
engineering sciences - Dallas, Pa.) president: Deborah Stod
dard, (12th-journalism-Elkland) chef de cabinet; Geraldine
