VOL. 67, No. 77 from the associated press News Roundup: From the State, Nation & World The World Soviets Boast Antiballistics Missile System MOSCOW—Soviet military leaders yesterday boasted that this country has developed an antiballistic missile sys tem that will protect it from enemy attacks. The boasts were accompanied by further indications that the Krmelin has no interest in President Johnson’s proposed U.S. Soviet agreement to stop development of antiballistic missile ABM systems. Gen. Pavel F. Batitsky, a deputy defense minister, said the antiaircraft troops he commands “can reliably pro tect the country’s territory from an enemy attack by air." Gen. Pavel G. Kurochkin, head of the Fruze Military Academy, said that missiles fired at the Soviet Union would never reach their targets. The positions taken by Soviet military leaders were considered sure to add to pressure in Washington for the United States to push ahead with its own ABM system. The Defense Department has warned that there would be no alternative if the' Soviet Union persisted with the de velopment of its system. ★ ★ ★ World Leaders Start Nuclear Treaty Talks GENEVA—WorId disarmament leaders meet here to day with hopes that in the next six months they will be able to hammer out a treaty to bar the spread of nuclear weapons. _ President Johnson has said such a treaty is at the top of .the agenda of the human race. AOptimistic predictions that it could be completed m the spring or even presented at the opening session, have been dampened. Now, many delegates will be happy if the drafting can be finished by the end of September, when the U.N. General Assembly meets again. All 17 nations participating in the U.N. disarmament conference are expected to be represented at today’s ses lion in the Palais des Nations. The latest obstacle to the treaty comes from a group that some West Germans would like to organize into a “threshold club’’—industrialized countries that have the potential to make nuclear bombs. Their objections will take long negotiations to iron out. Wilson Pressured To Cut Troops In Germany LONDON Prime Minister Harold Wilson was under heavy pressure to make big cuts in Britain’s troops in West Germany. Some of his Labor supporters accused Bonn of bad faith in canceling an offer to share in the army’s upkeep. - Informants said Wilson was making every effort to play down the developing crisis between the two govern ments to ward off any consequent threat to Britain’s efforts to join the European Common "Market. Britain counts on West Germany to support its attempt to join the Common \ Market. : Saturday’s announcement by a'spokesman for West Germany Finance Minister Franz Josef Strauss of with drawal of a share in the foreign exchange,upkeep of the British army exploded here like a bombshell. t Foreign Secretary George Brown, answering questions in the House of Commons,.said the whole question is to be thrashed out next Monday and Tuesday'in a meeting here of American, British and West German delegates. The Nation Supreme Court Rules On State Trials WASHINGTON The Supreme Court yesterday shored up federal constitutional rights of defendants in state criminal trials. - Henceforth, it said in a decision, when federal con stitutional rights are violated the burden will be on the state to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the in fringement “did not contribute to the verdict.” The doctrine was announced as the court set aside the convictions of Ruth Elizabeth Chapman and Thomas Leroy Teale in the 1962 slaying of a Lodi, Calif., bartender. Neither testified and the state prosecutor, Black said, took full advantage of his right under the state Constitu tion to comment upon this, “filling his argument to the jury with numerous references to their silence and in ferences of their guilt resulting therefrom.” Teale was sentenced to death and Mrs. Chapman to life in prison. Gov. Romney Asks Judgment On Own Record SALT LAKE CITY, Utah Gov. George Romney of Michigan demanded yesterday the right to be judged on his own civil rights record after a Negro minister asked him why the Mormon Church denies priesthood to Negroes. • Romney is on a political swing of the West. Theo retically, he is trying to decide whether he should seek the Republican presidential nomination, but several times yes terday he came close to saying he is a candidate. And, here, in the Mormon capital, he ran into a reli gious issue that is bound, to come up again and again if he makes the drive for the nomination. Yesterday’s meeting was somewhat similar to the one John F. Kennedy, a Roman Catholic, had with Protestant ministers in Houston, Tex., when he ran for the presidency in 1960. But anyone who attended both meetings could note big differences. The- Houston confrontation had a tremendous buildup so that tension was high and the questions were more hos tile than those tossed at Romney. The State House Demos Slap at Shafer's Program HARRISBURG House Minority Democrats chided their Republican counterparts on two fronts yesterday as Gov. Shafer’s constitutional convention bill fell into the background for a day. The 104-man GOP caucus ran through a section-by section briefing on the convention measure prior to the session, but the discussion was limited solely to an explan ation of content rather than pro and con arguments on - specific items. : With the convention isSue quiet for the day, the Demo crats took advantage of the lull to throw some polite barbs at the Republicans. The first came when House Appropriations Chairman H. Jack Seltzer, Lebanon, discussed identical resolutions introduced in the House and Senate relating to the college scholarship program. The resolutions declared that it was the intent of the General Assembly to appropriate enough money—amount unspecified—to assist all students who qualify for a state scholarship in the 1967 college year. ★ ★ ★ Pofi Sc/ Prof Says WWW Possible in Vietnam MERCERSBURG, Pa.—A Syracuse University politi cal science professor said yesterday that the United States cannot win a military victory in South Vietnam without fighting World War 111 and involving the world in a nu clear holocaust. The professor, Dr. Oliver E. Clubb Jr., advocated that the U.S. halt the bombing of North Vietnam and seek a ; negotiated peace, even though such a settlement might be unfavorable from the American viewpoint.

COMEDIAN BILL COSBY performed before two SRO crowds Sunday in Recreation Building. The popular comic (hared his spotlight with Jim and Jean, folk singers. More pictures and a review of the concert appear on page four. . : A “read-in” on Vietnam is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Jawbone Coffee House, 415 E. Foster Ave. This information center is the latest project sponsored as part of a local peace movement by the local body of Clergy and Laity Concerned About Vietnam. Throughout the day literature concerning the war will be presented to students who are willing to take a little or a lot of time to become informed about the. war. Represen tatives of the local group will be at the Jawbone during the day to meet with students. The telephone'! number is 238-1613. / Larry Trettin, a Lutheran intern ,and coordinator -of the Jawbone, said “the read-in is offered in ar. attempt to fill the information gap which we have found to exist in the vast mass of students—those students who don’t , feel prepared to make a judgement one way or another con cerning the war. We believe that students who will be asked to fight the war ought to know what it is they are getting involved with and why the war is taking place.” In conjunction with the read-in there will be a brief service of worship held at 12:15 p.m. tomorrow in Faith United Church of Christ on College Ave. Penny Clark and Richard Killmer of the United Campus Ministry, who are also members of the local “fast for peace,” will have charge of the service. The Rev. Mr. Alan R. Cleeton, director of the Wesley Foundation, said 25 clergy and laymen concerned about Vietnam have been gathering each week during Lent "for a prayer vigil and discussion of an appropriate resolution of the continuing crisis in Vietnam and South-East Asia.” A Weekly Meal The participants' in the “fast for peace” held on Wed nesdays during Lent will meet at 5 p.m. tomorrow to have their meal of rice and tea at the Jawbmone, Trettin stressed that all students are invited to participate in this expression of empathy with the people in Vietnam. Interested students are asked to phone Larry Trettin, 238-1613, Rich Killmer, 237-2006 or Penny Clark, 238-7886. Public expression of concern over arose locally from the participation of six clergymen, one layman and two seminary students from State College in the recent “Peace Mobilization"; conference held by clergy and lay men in Washington, D.C.' The inter-faith movement involves over one million persons in 416 communities in 37 states. In increasing numbers voices are being raised with those of congressmen and university facility calling for the cessation of the bombing and a-recovery of compassion, the Rev. M. Cleeton said. .PAGE 2 ./PAGE 3 NDSL Goes To Harrisburg By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER Collegian USG Reporter At a radio press conference.last week, Cosby Comec/y Clergy To Stage Vietnam Read-In By BETH GOLDER Collegian Staff Writer He said the peace movement in' State College, although small, has the united efforts of the Friends’ Peace Commit tee, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, the newly formed Clergy and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam and the Committee for a Vote for Peace. The latter group obtained approximately 430 write-in votes for peace in' the Congressional elections held this fall. The Rev. Mr. Cleeton said the movement’s hope is to help cause a rebirth of compassion away from the “increasingly hostile and war-like atmosphere in our country.” UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21, 1967 Kalich said he expects the University to re verse its decision on the NDSL program and vote to reapply for funds at the next Board of Trustees meeting Friday. “There is a strong indication that the NDSL program will be reinstated by the end of the month.” Kalich said last week, half a week after University President Eric A. Walker announced he would reapply for the program although the Board of Trustees has not yet met. Walker said the deadline for NDSL funds had come and his decision to reapply for funds despite the lack of an official OK from the Board of Trustees, which has final au thority in University financial affairs, would give the University a ‘time advantage gain. If they (the Trustees) reverse their previous decision,” Walker said at that time, “we will have gained a time advantage. If they do not reverse the decision, we can withdraw the he said. Walker had also shown his support for the NDSL program earlier when USG staged a rally-jammy last month in the Hetzel Union ballroom to draw in students to sign petitions protesting the loan program cancel- Fill Gap Local .Aid Waljcer’s Support Lewis Talks To Fraternity Council On Assets, Problems of Greek Life “Student population is changing faster than the Greek system,” Charles L. Lewis, vice president for student affairs, said last night at the Inter fraternity Council meeting. Lewis said that running a quality program that could attract a large num ber of men is one way of solving the only problem he could find with the University’s fraternities. He said the problem of keeping the houses full was one that fraternities all over the nation were facing. Fraternity Experience . Warren Hartenstine, IFC president, said Lewis had helped the fraternities at the University of Tennessee, and also at the University of North Dakota. Lewis came to the University from Tennessee and has worked at the North Dakota school. Model UN Plenary Votes Against A Two-China Policy By RICKY FEILKE Collegian, Staff Writer A resolution for two-China representa tion in the General Assembly and the Security Council was defeated by the Model United Nations at its closing plenary session Sunday afternoon. The decisive vote was 18 yes; 25 no; eight abstentions. The resolution stated that both the People’s Republic of China and the Re public of China as successor states, should be represented in the General Assembly. And, it urged the formation of a committee to study the representa tion of the People’s Republic of China in the Security Council. In other action the Model U.N. Gen eral Assembly passed a resolution rec ommending that a government based on majority rule be set up in Southern Rhodesia. Due to its nature, no action was taken on the Vietnam Question. Upon recom mendation by the Security Council, the issue was dropped from the agenda and given to the General Assembly. The China Resolution drew heated opposition from the Communist Bloc and Communist-oriented countries and sup port from the Neutral nations of the world. Taiwan Can’t Speak Red sympathizers argued that the Taiwan government, representing 12 mil lion people, cannot speak for the 700 million on the China Mainland. The Peo ple’s Republic of China, they chorused, is the only government justified in rep resenting the people , of China.

A letter from Walker stating that he would give his support to leinstating the program highlighted the rally which ended with over 4,000 student names o'n protest petitions and letters to congressmen. Walker wrote that “one direct case in writing of a student who can not return to school because the program has been cancel led, is worth 5,000 emotion's.” and urged stu dents affected by the decision to present their cqses to the Board of Trustees. Other administrators and faculty mem bers followed suit, indicating they would also pressure for renewal of the loan program whjch already had given SI million in aid to 1.175 students. The University recommended dropping its participation in the NDSL pro gram, citing a financial burden in administer ing the loans. Under the loan program, the University paid SI for everv $9 loaned to a student amounting to a total of $132,000 from University funds. USG Issue USG picked up -the issue as one of its first projects this term when protests from students affected by the prospect of the loan cut reached the ears of USG members. Con gress conducted an investigation and found, according to Kalich, that state aid programs Hartenstine also said Lewis devotes a lot of time to helping fraternities and that the University and the IFC were very frotunate in having Lewis on the staff. Lewis said he had never worked with a University of this size. “This fact could pose some communication problems.” he said, “but that one of the challenges that I enjoy facing.” Lewis added that he "gets excited bv students. I’ve not had the. chance of working with such a rich mixture of students as there are here.” he said. After his speech, Lewis opened the program to discussion and told what he thought of the Fratemitv Visitation’ Act.

Educational Checkers ••See Page 2 would not be sufficient to fill the hole left in these students pocketbooks. “State aid in many cases simply is not enough,” Kalich said, “and does not offer the advantages NDSL loans do." Following this investigation, USG pushed for the reinstatement of the program, con ducting both a campus and state-wide cam paign. fn addition to support he received from various organizations throughout the state, Kalich received replies from state offi cials supporting the program. Rep. Herbert Fineman, Democratic floor leader in the state House of Repiesentatives, requested the Board of Trustees to reinstate the program and said he was “gratified” at the “prompt and favorable response” he re ceived. Board of Trustee opinion has since filtered in favorably for a reinstatement of the program. Many trustees have said they will vote for the program at Friday’s meet ing. Meanwhile, Kalich is urging students to continue applying for NDSL loans, maintain ing that the “strong indications” the program will once again be a part of the University, will soon pay off. ticularly matter since the IFC’s rea sons appeared to be valid.” Scholastic Honors In other business; the IFC awarded trophies to Alpha Zeta fraternity for the higlfest scholastic average, to Alpha Epsilon Pi for the social fraternity with the highest scholastic average and to Tau Phi Delta for the professional fra ternity with the highest scholastic average.

Setting up two China’s, “Bulgaria’s representative said, “would compromise the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China for the sake of an illegitimate puppet serving as a lackey to the U.S. government.” Albania agreed that the introduction of two China’s would result in one nullifying the actions of the other. The neutralist nations, holding fast to the universal nature of the United Nations, urged immediate seating of both governments. “The issue is one of rep resentation, not of one nation’s sov ereignty displacing that of another,” Israel’s representative said. “Red China cannot be ignored,” said and Argentina spokesman, “nor can Nationalist China be expelled." “Only Viable Solution’ Nigeria’s chairman termed the reso lution the “only viable solution” to the problem. "It rings with the wisdom of compromise and the soundness of pur pose,” Denmark’s delegate said. As an Important Question, the Red China Resolution required a two-thirds majority of those delegates present and voting to be passed. It was defeated by 18 no votes, 25 yes and eight abstentions.
