The Nation * * * Justice Department Switch. Ordered WASHINGTON—The Justice Department is switch ing the emphasis of its civil rights law enforcement away from voting rights and school desegregation toward em ployment discrimination. It was learned yesterday that this major change has been ordered by Atty. Gen.

Easf Closes Dean Answers TIM Proposals Concerning Bluebell Apartments By MIKE SERRILL Collegian News Editor Herbert Dean, manager of Bluebell Apartments, yesterday answered 11 requests of the Town Independent _ Men's Council calling for improvement in the new apart ment complex's service and facilities. Dean was not • available for comment, but TIM Legal Awareness CoMmittee Chair man David Vinikoor said Dean agreed to only one of TlM's proposals. Vinikoor and TIM President Edward Dench presented their suggestions for change in the form of a letter. Dean would not say that he would not accept the demands, Vinikoor said, but only that he did not agree with them. In his rebuttal, he dealt with each demand and each accusation separately, rather than condemn the entire list. TlM's first request was for the deletion of the clause in the standard lease 'allow ing rent increases "from time to time/ at-the discretion of the Bluebell management. Dean said that he could not delete the clause but did not expect any further rent in creases this year. Over the summer, rent for the apartments on the upper level of Bluebell was increased $4O per month due to a $200,000 mortgage assessment. Dean offered to increase the notice of raised rent from 60 to 90 days. Contract Pending The second TIM demand was for dele tion of a clause in the lease stating that if an apartment is not ready for occupancy when a tenant moves in, the contract , estab lished by the lease is pending until the apartment is ready. This clause is designed "to protect the management in case of er ror," Vinikoor quoted Dean, and can not be deleted. Next, TIM demanded that the lease clause forfeiting the tenants' right of court appeal be deleted. Dean, according to Vini koor, agreed with TIM that the clause is illegal and said it will be deleted. The letter's fourth request was that all missing furniture, especially beds, be pro vided within one week. Dean claimed that as of yesterday only four students were without beds and that those students will Assassination Plot Uncovered PHILADELPHIA (AP) A fugitive from a Georgia prison gang has told police of an al leged plot to assassinate Phila delphia's mayor, district attor ney, police commissioner, President Johnson and FBI di dector J. Edgar Hoover. Dist. Atty. Arlen Specter said the informant, Robert Earl Bai ley of Anniston, Ala., also said City Hall, the federal court house and Police Administra rtion Building were to be blown in a plot allegedly hatched by the Revolutionary Action Move ment (RAM). Just Wednesd...y, RAM was charged with plannin:, to start a riot in Philaddhnia, then poi son thousands of policemen and top city officials. RAM is a Negro extremist group. Bailey, awaiting extradition proceedings for his return to Georgia, told police in a long statement Mayor James H. J. Tate, Specter and . ...ace Com missioner Frank Rizzo were to be assassinated, along with the President and Hoover., Specter said Thursday he had received a report on Bailey's disclosure "some time ago." He said ho% ever, he did not have enough evidence to sup port filing chart ; against any one. "At this time," Specter said, "all my office can do is contin ue the investigation." Bailey told police he was ap. proached several months ago by a member of TIAM, while he -; was in a Philadelphia Mayor Tate, he said, was to be killed by a dynamite charge in his car. He said h did not know what the murder plans were for Specter. According to, his statement, Bailey said RAM'merr.bers had promised to have 1 im freed, so he 'could kill Rizzo. RAM• also had plans for inciting riots, and "explosions •a n d assassina tions" in Richmond, New York, Washington. and Baltimore. he Drug Overdose Kills Student By JULIE MOSHINSKY Collegian Editorial Editor A2l-ea u sen ior died yesterday afternoon at Ritenour Health Center, ap parently from an overdose of pills, He was identified as Robert Drutman, a 10th term political science major from New York City. W. Robert Neff, Centre Coun• ty coroner, told The Daily Collegian last night that Drut man had callal th health center at about 1:20 yes terday and asked that an ambulance be st, t to his resi dence hall room: Neff said Drutman reported he had tal.en an overdose of pills. He died at 2:20 p.m. an hour after he had bee brought to the health center after Ritenour - doctors tried unsuc cessfully to revive him. Neff said that an autopsy would riot be conducted. In stead, he said, labora'ory tests would be run to determine the nature and amount of the pills only have to pay the cost of an,unfurnished apartment next month. : Dean dismissed the letter's charge that Bluebell violates state and borough hous ing ordinances. According: to Dench, Dean said that Bluebell does live up to borough and state ordinances, "and if it doesn't, it will soon." TIM also accused • Bluebell of 'not pro . - viding adequate ,hall and 'stairway lighting and of violating, state lair by not lighting exit signs. Dean_said, according to Vinikoor, that the stairs and hallways are all lighted and if they are not, it is' because students stole the bulbs. Vinikcior next demanded that all apart ments be inspected within one week. Dean said, and Vinikoor confirmed, that the in spections are presently underway. Dean emphatically refused, Dench said, to lower rents to cost at . , the original time of.rental..Some students signed leases as far back as February and Many more signed in the spring, when rents were lower than they are now. TIM questioned why some tenants had not been given copies of their leases. Dean explained, according to Vinikoor, that a lease is only withheld by the management when all of the residents of an apartment have not signed it. One of TlM's 'most important proposals Dench insisted, was that all apartments be inspected in view 'cif the recent contro versy over, damage deposits, at the termi nation of the leases in the presence of the 'tenants. Dean said that this is impossible, since Bluebell does not have adequate per sonnel and because most of the students leave at" the same time: .Vinikoor rebutted 'that the same situation exists in the resi dence halls and 'yet they, are inspected at the end of,each year. The last demand made by -the Council was that all threats of eviction or raised rents to complaining students be stopped immediately. Dean said, that he never threatened . anybody, but that he only told some tennants that they "could' be evicted or face higher rents if they attempted to defy the Bluebell - management by refusing to pay their rent. Police said Bailey took a lie detector test, which showed he was telling the truth. Disclosure of Bailey's state ment came in . the wake of the wrest of three of four men ac cused in the alleged plot to poi son "hundreds of policemen" diming a planned race riot in Philadelhpia. Two of the men, William James Lyles, 26, and Reginald Grantham, 21, are being held here. j The third, Anthony B. Monteiro, 22, a graduate stu dent in Chicago, gave himself Falls Church Man Held For Assault and Battery; Bail Set High at' $l,OOO ,Stdie College Police on Wednesday arrested a man from Falls Church, Va.,' the hometown of murdered stu dent Charles F. Miller, on 'an assault and battery charge. The man, Edward Cocoran, is being held in $l,OOO bail 'over an incident in a Beaver Ave. parking lot Tues day 'night. Police did not elaborate on the details of the incident. Police did not say whether they ;connected Cocoran with the murder ofMiller, who was slain in his two-Man room at 220 E. Nittany Ave., early ISatteday morning. Police Chief John R. Juba , also said, his force, assisted by State Police, have found i no definite clues to the stu dent's death; but are "digging up facts." Last week, Juba said Police were searching for a man reported to have made a late Friday night visit to Miller. At 4:30 aa - n. the next morning, Miller was found dead. A woman caretaker at his rooming house said she heard some one running away after she heard the shots fired that; killed Miller.' 'According to Juba, the three bullets that killed Miller, two in his cheit, one in his !head, came from; a small caliber revolver. Miller also had a long gash on his back. No weapons were found in his iroom, btit ballistics tests are being made at the: HarrisbUrg = crime laboratOry on slugs from the victim's body to' determine the exact caliber used. A 7th term ceramics engineering major at the I.TM verdity, Miller was 20 years;' old, married and the father a of year-old son.
