59.000 even after the government suspected him of sending
worthless goods to Vietnam.

BALTIMORE City Forester Fred Graves reported
yesterday his street side tree planting plan has sprouted a
serious snag.
A surprising number of house holders 41 out of 101

plant them somewheie else.; Like out in the country.
They don't like trees. They think trees are for the birds.
And as for the birds,, you can take them
.and—
"l'm amazed," said GraNi•es. "Sometimes a whole block
turns us down. And it doesn't cost them a cent. It's ab

Mrs. Joseph Lisiecki of ! East Baltimore, whose views
were typical of the antitree element, said:
"If I wanted a tree, I'd move to the suburbs. I live in
the city. I love the city. We have parks: It's nice to look
at a tree once in a while; hitt I don't want one in front of
my house.
"Trees in the city," declared Louis Avarella, another
nonfoliafion type, "are a nuisance. The place for trees is
the country, And that goes for tree loifers, too."

State Milk Commigsion Stops Litigation
HARRISBURG = Litigation by the State Milk Con
trol Commission to stop two dairy firms from distributing
"Milk Freedom Certificates" to their customers has been
dropped.
Abandonment of the proceeding was disclosed yester
day by a six- line order on file in Commonwealth Court
where the commission had instituted the proceeding against
Louden Hill Farm, Inc. and Cumberland Farms, Inc., a
New Jersey firm which operates Lily Penn Food Stores
in Pennsylvania.
Both firms have been in prolonged litigation with the
commission seeking to sell milk belmi.• the minimum prices
set by the state pricing age6cy. The Common Wealth Court
has upheld the constitution'ality of the Milk Control Act
under which the comniissioo was created in the mid 19305.
The certificates dew out of efforts of the two firms
to sell milk below the minimum prices set by the com
mission._ „

Picketers
By MIKE SERRILL
Collegian Staff Writer
The Penn State chapter of Students for a Democratic
iety picketed the army recruiting table in the Hetzel
on Building yesterday, but the recruiters received
e attention.
The picketers spent most of the-day; discussing with
ers-by everything from the plausibility of the Com
-list doctrine to U.S. presence in South Vietnam.
The Army recruiters seemed to enjoy the attention
r table had solicited, but they refused to make any
' ment on the merits or demerits of the , SDS demonstra
or the Young Americans for Freedom table situated
rby. Asked what his reaction to the demonstrators was,
military man answered: "I have no reaction."

No attempt was made to obstruct persons interested
in e Army from approaching the table, but it was often
dif icult for people walking down the corridor toward the
Lio i's Den to get through. Swarms of students almost con
sta., tly surrounded the sign-carrying SDS members lined
up against the wall opposite the recruiting table.
[ The SDS members were usually outnumbered and dis
cussion was at times inhibited when everyone tried to talk
at ()rice. There was, however, no violence—and little name
cal 'ng.
Many of the people who stopped to express their views
or I sten to someone else's stayed for hours. The discussions
-wen t on long after the Army recruiters left at 3:30 p.m.
One of the most vehement arguments centered around
SD member William Mittleman, who stood in a large
gro p discussing socialism. He argued for a 'society where
the government distributes the wealth according to the
nee is of the people; for a society where everyone is equal.
"You're asking people to apologize for their wealth."
student cried. "Before I'll apologize for my wealth, I'll
down and die."
yesterday as an Army recruiting table caused
a c ....,ntation of anti-war protestors, anti-anti-war protestors and the' recruiters. A vigorous debate ensued among
students around the table, among them picketers from the Penn State SDS chapter.

SDS Members
Argue U.S. Policy
But most of the discuSsion concerned the. 'Vietnam
war. SDS Co-Chairman Max Molinaro advocated with
drawal of American troops from Vietnam. He was sur
rounded by a group trying to dissuade himi,from his Stand.
Argue for Withdrawal
Molinaro' based his argument on the alleged distste of
the Vietnamese people 'for American intervention in the
war; on the contentions that many of the Vietnamese people
support the Viet Cong, and that the United States is de
stroying South Vietnam.
He also denounced American support, in Vietnam and
in other countries such as Nicaragua, of right-wing dictator
ships which he alleged make no attempt to impro‘'e the
lot of the people.
One of the main arguments against this point of view
Was that while the United States may be supporting such
dictatorships, it is only in the hope that a stable govern
ment under! U.S. influence will eventually be forced to
initiate refofms. Molinaro contended that this has not been
done and cited Nicaragua and Vietnam as example's.
Opponent Cites Reforms
His opponent in the debate cited the new Vietnamese
constitution and the planned democratic, elections! of a
representative assembly and president as an example of
reforms.
Molinaro contended that a constitution patterned after
that of the United States could not work in an under
developed country with a radically different culture. He
also argued that each candidate for the gonstituent As-

sembly had to be approved by Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's
military government and that the two candidates for the
presidency are none other than Ky himself and one of his
top generals.
Countering Molinaro's statement that a large propor
tion of the South Vietnamese support the Viet Cong, one
student cited the results of a, recent poll conducted by the
Columbia Broadcasting Company which revealed that 94
per cent of the Vietnamese people are against the Viet
Cong. -
Poll Questioned
Molinaro questioned the validity of the poll, doubting
whether the poll takers would be able to enter villages con
trolled by the Viet Cong. which recent figures revealed to
include nearly 50 per cent of the South Vietnamese villages.
The same CBS poll said that 68 per cent of the Viet
namese people resent , American presence in their country.
Many of the discUssions treated our alleged support of
dictatorships in Vietnam since Diem. One dialogue went
like this:
"What about Diem?"
"Who put him in?"
"We did."
Who had him assassinated?"
"We did."
"Who put Ky in?"
"We did."
"And who was he before we put him in? A New York
businessman."
General's Daughter
One of the students who stayed and talked to various
SDS members all afternoon identified herself as the
daughter of an Army general now stationed in Vietnam.
After a discussion with SDS member Steven Haugh, she
observed; "After talking With you, it is obvious that you
are an intelligent, level-headed guy. Then why are a lot
of these. signs you carry and the things you say so illogical.
You can't call my father a war criminal and say he will be
hung at a reconvening of the Nuremburg trials."
AWS To Elect
Council Officers
Elections for women's residence hall presidents and
vice-presidents will be held in residence hall living units
tonight. The newly elected presidents will also serve as
the congresswomen in next year's Association of Women
Students Senate. -T
Spring elections are replacing the "previously held
fall term elections so that the new officers will- not spend
most of fall term getting '.'broken-in - to the duties of their
positions, according to AWS Vice-President Pennee Field.
She has planned a series of orientation meetings to take
advantage of the etra time for planning during spring
term.
_ The AWS Senate decided last term to revise the elec
tions schedule and final approval of the constitution re
vision was voted tWO weeks ago. In a revision of -the elec
tions by-laws, the Senate decided to permit women stu
dents away from campus spring term to run by proxy.
However, students on campus are required to. attend the
orientation meetings after they are elected.
The congresswdmen will . do more, titan attend a two
hour Senate meeting . each,4eek. As residence hall presi
dents they are responsible for planning cultural, religious
and social events in the living units.
' This year a number of residence halls have had pro
grams explaining the position of the Students for a Demo
cratic Society and giving different views on the war in
Vietnam. Other residence hall projects al'e Women's Week,
Mother's Day receptions and open houses.
Support Orphans
. Pizza, fruit and doughnut sales are featured each term
to support the orphans that many of the women's resi
dence hallS sponsor.• Most of the coeds' residence halls
have library and housing committees which make refer
ences and periodicals available and pro✓ide for organiza
tion of complaints and recommendations for the dining
hall food plus residence hall housing respectively.
Under Miss Field's organization a number of the resi
dence hall committee chairmen have initiated campus-wide
meetings so that_Widespread changes can be instituted. For
example, the houging committee chairmen will decide on
common complaints and present them to housing as uni
versity-wide problems.
