American Vietnam Casualties Pass 100,000

Negro Rtins For Mayor in Memphis Election
MEMPHIS, Tenn. A. W. Willis' bid to- become the
first Negro mayor of a major Old South city lured Mem
phis voters out in record numbers yesterday, pushing the
demise of city commission government far into the back
ground.
Willis, a state representative and only Negro Sever to
seek the office' of mayor in this city of half a million,
faced a field of six white candidates.
Just two days ago, Negro Carl B. Stokes von the

Senate Yates Extension On Antipoverty
WASHINGTON The Senate voted a two-year ex
tension on the antipoverty program yesterday after refus
ing to trim it back to the $l9B-million slimmer figure asked
by President Johnson.
As the Measure went to an uncertain outlook in the
House, it would authorize appropriations up to $2.25 billion
for the Office of Economic Opportunity in the current fiscal
year.
The Senate voted 50 to 36 against a Republican move
to cut current year's authorization to the $2.06, billion pro
posed by Johnson, and then passed the bill 60 to 21.
Much of. the extra $l9B million was added by the Sen
ate Labor Committee for new or expanded programs spon
sored by Sens. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., and Edward M.
Kennedy, DlMass., who flew back from the World Series
in Boston to, oppose deletion of the added money.

Appropriations Committee Traces Funds
WASHINGTON The House Appropriations Com
mittee was off to a modest start yesterday in its effort
to recapture some of the money Congress already has
poured out this year.
A subcommittee in charge of finances for the Interior
Department has voted to cancel out around $lOO million
of the $1.38 billion Congress allowed the department
earlier this year.
Another subcommittee hoping to pull back some of
the $7.54 billion given the Treasury and Post Office de
partments tentatively has agreed on some restrictions.
But Chairman Tom Steed, D.-Okla., said the cutbacks
won't be sensational.
The only places where meaningful cuts can be made
in Post Office Department allotments are in service and
operations areas, since the major amounts go for wages
and salaries fixed by law. Steed's group is considering
suggestions that it rescind funds needed for Saturday mail
delivery and reduce business mail deliveries to one a day.
Thelin Proclaims Death . Of Hippie Movement
SAN FRANCISCO— Ron Thelin says the hippie move
ment is at death's door.
Thclin operates the Psychedelic Shop, main hippie
gathering place in the Haight-Ashbury district. The flower
children have been so inactive lately he's going broke.
Some $6,000 in debt, Thelin plans to close the store
Friday:
And a three-day "death of a hippie" observance is
planned by Thclin and others culminating in a funeral
procession with a symbolic casket to be borne through the
district Sunday.
The open coffin will contain abandoned trappings of
hippie life, including shaven beards, wilted flowers, dis-
Carded marijuana and sandals.
Thelin believes the hippies have grown tired of con
forming to the image created by news media. He said,
"Haight-Ashbury was apportioned to us by the news
media and police. The tourists came to the zoo to see the
captive animals and we growled fiercely behind the bars
we accepted.",

. HARRISBURG The $34.7 rnalioli scholarship bill
'was' signed - into law yesterday by Gov. Shafer, who used
the occasion to renew his fiscal feud with Democrats in
the General Assembly.
Shafer blamed the Democrats for delaying. enactment
of the bill, which was approved by the legislature only
after passage of an increase in the corporate net income
tax to finance it.
"The major responsibility for this delay rents squarely
on the shoulders pf, Democratic members and Senate,
whose leaders adopted a party policy of opposing the new
revenues this state must have to provide such vital pro
grams;" Shafer said in a statement.
The statement was distributed to newsmen The gov
ernor did not read it during bill signing ceremonies, as is
his usual practice.
The scholarship bill provides the money io - r . $31.5 mil
lion in outright grants to nearly 45,000 students. The
grants were awarded earlier in the year by the Pennsyl
vania Higher Edtication Assistance Agency after it re
ceived assurances from the legislature that the 'money was
forthcothing.
In addition to the $31.5 million, for scholE;rships, the
appropriation priveds $2.1 million to assist colleges in se
curing federal student aid funds and $l.l millionfor admin.
istraticn of the scholarship-loan program.
The Higher Education Assistance Agency awarded
3,147 ribw scholarships totaling $15.1 million, Which went,
for the most part, to 1967 high school graduates. At the
same time, the agency renewed the scholarships of upper
- classnien, who received $5,3 million,
The scholarships, awarded on the basis of ability and
need, averaged $675. Statistics provided by - .he • agency
showed that, most of the students reeciving state aid at
tended colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, although
they are permitted to go out, of state, if they choose.
Closely allied with the scholarship program is the
loan program, under which the state guarantees loans to
students by banks and other approved lending institutions
at 6 per cent interest. The federal government-pays 3 per
cent and the student the other 3. •
The Higher Education Assistance Agency said there
currently were 64,346 loans outstanding totaling $56.4 mil
lion, with more than enough funds on hand to guarantee
them on a 1 to 10 ratio. Many loan recipients aiso received
scholarships. The loan program was started IA 1984, the
scholarship program in 1966.
