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.

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.

The flurry caused by the • University’s
decision last December to cancel the National
Defense Student Loan program will sweep
from the academic confines of the campus to
political circles in Harrisburg where Under
graduate Student Government executives
will go today to meet with Gov. Raymond P.
Shafer to discuss the issue.
USG President Richard Kalich, along
with other USG members, will make the 100-
mile trip to the-state capital this morning
and will return early in the afternoon after
sessions on various aspects of the loan pro
gram with the Governor and state legisla
tors. At 7:45 tonight, Kalich will comment
on the meeting on a WDFM press conference.
The USG executive trip to Harrisburg
culminates a two-month drive to reinstate
the NDSL program as a substantial part of
University financial assistance. USG pub
licized the University’s decision to drop the
NDSL program throughout the state and re
ceived favorable response from state politi
cians.
COMEDIAN BILL COSBY performed before two SRO

: 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.

He said the peace movement in' State College, although
small, has the united efforts of the Friends’ Peace Commit

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

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. Pointing

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

cqses to the Board of Trustees.

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

first projects this term when protests from
students affected by the prospect of the loan

the challenges that I enjoy facing.”
Lewis added that he "gets excited bv

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

Meanwhile, Kalich is urging students to
continue applying for NDSL loans, maintain

will once again be a part of the University,
