VOL. 67, No. 80 .. from the associated press vssumimm News Roundup: j From the Siiate, I Nation & World 1 The World Mass Offensive Launched In Vietnam SAIGON About 45,000 U.S. troops and scores of jet bombers hammered' yesterday against light sniper fire in the Viet Cong’s jungled War Zone C, during the most massive offensive of the Vietnam war. More than 10 percent of all the American servicemen in Vietnam were directly'committed to the drive, centered 60 miles northwest of Saigon. The drive, called Operation Junction City, was launched in secret before dawn Wednesday with the first American combat parachute jump since the Korean War. This past week’s war action has seen more American and Communist troops killed in combat in any week since November, 1965. U.S. Army Headquarters also announced a single day record of 575 sorties by American tactical bombers over South Vietnam Wednesday. U. S„ Britain Seek Nuclear Treaty GENEVA The United States and' Britain yesterday sought a way to prevent President Charles de Gaulle of France from holding up their projected treaty with the Soviet Union to halt the spread of nuclear arms. De Gaulle has made it clear that he dislikes plans for a treaty and does not intend to sign any. The problem in Geneva is how to police the treaty. The nuclear powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain—want it done by the International Atomic Energy Agency, a 95 nation body, to which the Russians belong. \ The West Germans want it-.done through Euratom, the nuclear branch of the Common '(Market, which looks sus piciously on any treaty other than their own. '» A West German veto would bring charges that they are trying to avoid inspection, and France could use its veto in an attempt to help West Germany with concessions. Mao Asks Army To Help Harvest Crops TOKYO Radio Peking said-yesterday that army units all over China “acclaimed” Mao Tse-tung’s call to them to help in the spring planting. Reports of clashes in western China and other areas, however, indicated it may be a dismal spring for farm production. The broadcast also said that peasants and rural party cadres in all parts of the country were determined “to win a double victory in revolution and production.” . Showing concern about production, Mao's leadership has been issuing appeals for several weeks to peasants to begin plowing. These appeals were culminated Wednesday with disclosure that even'the army had been asked to help. Anti-Maos were said to be distributing food grain owned by the state, encouraging commune members to storm warehouses, and getting farm workers to quit their jobs, The Notion White House Endorses CIA Subsidies WASHINGTON President Johnson and a White House study panel yesterday endorsed the Central Intelligence Agency's much criticized subsidizing o£ various private or ganizations. At Johnson’s direction, the White House made public a preliminary report on a review of this controversial facet of CIA operations. The report, in letter form, was submitted by Under secretary of State Nicholas Katzenbach and defended the ClA’s role in supporting the organizations. -The report said that the CIA did not act on its own initiative, but in accordance with national policies established by the National Security Council. In his letter to Johnson, Katzenbach said the CIA “has and continues to be, indepensible to the national security.’’ The White House declines to say whether Johnson had personal knowledge of the ClA’s financing of the groups. House Recommends Fine For Powell WASHINGTON A House committee accused Repre sentative Adam Clayton Powell yesterday of “gross mis conduct” and recommended that he be seated, censured and required to pay, $40,000. The money would bd for funds the committee said Powell has “wrongfully and willfully appropriated” over the past three years. In a report signed by all nine members, the committee also proposed that the controversial New York Democrat be shorn of his entire 22 years of House seniority. The committee’s report will be laid before the House next Wednesday. If approved, it would require Powell to take the oath of office by March 13 or else his seat would be declared vacant. . The report also said Powell’s refusal to cooperate with the committee was “contemptous and was conduct un worthy of a member.” ★ ★ ★ Associated Press Sued For Libel WASHINGTON The Associated Press yesterday asked thej’Supreme Court to protect the press from iibel suits for news stories about prominent citizens involved in public events. But even if the court doesn’t announce such a rule, counsel for The AP argued, a $500,000 judgment to former Major General Edwin A. Walker should be reversed. Former U. S. Attorney General William P. Rogers, rep resenting The AP, told the court that The AP’s account of Walker’s activities as riots swept the University of Missis sippi campus in 1962 was-true. Walker’s attorney, Clyde J. Watts of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, disputed this. This judgment is one of 15 actions instituted by Walker. Rogers said that “the threat inherent in these suits” amounts to inhibiting the news media from reporting con troversial public events. Th& State Shafer Speaks Out For Crippled Children PITTSBURGH—Gov. Raymond P. Shafer saidj yester day that Pennsylvania has a long way to go before it .can be satisfied with what it is doing to help the physically, and mentally, handicapped children. ‘ “And I say this as a public' official who is proud of what we are now attempting to do through the new Men tal Health and Mehtal Retardation Law,” the governor told guests at the Home for Crippled Children • _ Various state programs and institutions, Shafer said, are helping thousands of handicapped children each year, but a great deal more needs to be done. “I know, as well as you, that all this is not enough— that there must be new directions set for Pennsylvania,” he said. • The governor said that he had recently proposed a new plan to offer vocational rehabilitation programs to all disabled handicapped persons in the state.

The final vote, following heated discussion, was 7 yes, 10 no, 4 abstentions. Opinion seemed to favor the resolution until USG President Richard Kalich turned the tide. He pointed out that if the resolution were passed, USG would be condemning more than the CIA. “The National Security Council and the United States Government were involved." he stated. “Should they be condemned, too?” Kalich said he did not see how- USG could take a definite stand until it has the full reports, which might be a matter of months or even- years from now. “I don’t feel that the information available now to all students is sufficient to permit them to make a black or white decision," he said. Precedent Setting Kalich added that by adopting the reso lution, USG would set a precedent for con sidering national issues. Malcolm Boyd To Spook The Rev.

Webb, chairman of the department of psychology at the University of Florida, discussed “Current Sleep Research.” Webb started his lecture by tracing the history of experimental research on sleep. He said that little re search had been done on the matter before 1958. Since that time, Webb remarked, it has exploded into a tre mendous field which has generated much interest and exploration. Webb attributed this new interest to three factors. He said, “Sleep research is expensive and money became available.” Also, the world has become inter-disciplinary.” As a second factor, Webb noted the discovery of the reticular formation. Webb showed various slides' showing EEG patterns of the various stages of sleep. He showed the patterns of dif ferent people during sleep and dream. He said, “Studies showed that the subjects showed a remarkable repetition of pattern. „ He related examples which showed , that there is a characteristic need of dream. But he noted that people deprived of sleep will not sharply increase their dreams if given only a few hours in which to sleep. He continued, “Patterns of sleep are not easily changed.” Commenting on a possible biological relation to sleep, Webb remarked, “We cannot link it to any biological drain resource system at present.” He characterized the dream world as being a needed activation of the brain without awakening the person. He said that dreams occur only after the deepest part of sleep. He remarked. “Whether it. is useful or not, I doubt it. But dreams certainly do reflect upon ourselves.” Webb is a graduate of Louisiana State Universtiy. He completed his MA and PhD at the State University of lowa. - He serves as associate editor of Psychological Reports and as a field selection officer for the Peace Corps. Fire Damages Hershey Center Fire broke out yesterday on the fifth floor of the new Hershey Medical Center of the University now under construction in Hershey.

Snyder asked if USG had the right to consider the issue since the constitution states that it may deal only with matters of an all-University nature: “We have more than the right,” Zurn dorfer countered. “This is a democracy, and when something so close to home that affects the academic community comes up, we must speak out.” Supporters of the resolution questioned, whether or not an institution receiving funds from a government source could truly be called free. Hard to Follow The premise that an organization cannot receive something without giving something in return, is not valid, Town Congressman , Edward Dench, said. The government gives ' money to many organizations for their im- r provement, he said. He said funds supplied by the government did enable the National Students Association and student govern ments across the country to function better. “It’s pretty hard to tell with the present information what the government’s inten tion was,” he stated. “We can’t justifiably shows in New York and Hollywood.

Severe Strains Ahead As the Congress suffered setback after setback, concern was felt that the central government as well as several state governments would be subjected to severe strains in the weeks ahead..

Congress also passed a bill to create a committee to study proposals for the im provement and operation of parking facili ties on campus. The bill calls for the com mittee to investigate such proposals as exemptions front parking violations for men returning coeds to their residence hall areas at curfew hours. n further business, Congress passed a bill to provide for an operational committee system to interview applicants for positions in the Commission System and “to gather and distribute information” for the general Congressional purposes. A similar bill to "investigate and to offer suggestions to the various committees and commissions regard ing means that will enable them to operate in their particular areas with more effect and results." was postponed indefinitely.
