cently, was among the targets. It declared two U.S. planes

American authbrities had no immediate comment
A Haiphong city committeeman, Pham Gia Tuan,

effectiveness of the American campaign, aimed largely
against bridges to prevent trains and trucks from mov

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. Ramsey Clarlc, who called
for "the highest priority" on vigorous enforcement of the
laws banning discrimination in hiring and promotion.
'As a result department lawyers have begun sifting
a mass of employment data from at least seven major
The material was obtained by a departmental task
force that began last' summer collecting information on
employment opportunities and discrimination patterns
across the country.
The summer project, which the department considers
—as one official put it, "just a self starter—is similar to
devices it used several years ago to spark massive pushes
in the South to enforce the then new laws and couft de

the new $135-million ,contract.
Later, Shanker told newsmen: "A return to normalcy

putedly admired by Secretary of Defense Robert S. Mc-
Namara, was rated by Marine Corps sources yesterday
as odds-on favorite to win a three-way race to *become
the next commandant of the Leathernecks.
Lt. Gen. Lewis W. Walt is Krulak's chief rival for
the post. The dark horse in the race is Lt. Gen. Leonard
F. Chapman Jr., new assistant commandant of the Corps.
President Johnson will make the final decision, and
nobody at this point knows' what that decision will be.
Associates of McNamara said the secretary's recommen
dation will figure in Johnson's decision.
Gen. Wallace M. Greene Jr., Will end his four years

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

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
