U.S. Hammers Viet tong to Cap Victory ,
SAIGON U.S. artillery, mortars arid bombers ham
mered yesterday at scattered elements of two North Viet
namese',regirnents in the 'rice-rich Que Son Valley to cap a
victory 'won in part by advance knowledge of the enemy's
battle plan.
Officers said American forces killed at least 281 of the
enemy in repulsing a Red offensive launched early Wednesday
against the camps—Landing Zones Ross, Leslie and West—
in the valley, about 20 miles south of Da Nang.
American losses were )isted as 26 killed and 149 wounded.
Officers said American troops were fully prepared for the
enemy drive because the plans had been found on the body
of a North . Vietnamese regimental commander killed Dec. 8.
Perhaps unaware of the leak, the Red high command
detailed Hanoi's 3rd and 21st regiments for the drive.
In the political field, South Vietnam's House of Repre
sentatives voted to oppose both recognition of the Viet Cong's
National Liberation Front and any coalition government in
which the Communists would be represented.
With 32 of the 136 members on hand, a resolution re
feleting suspicision of U.S. policy was adopted unanimously.
The action resulted from a suggestion of President John
son in . his television interview Dec. 19 that Saigon govern
ment officials meet informally with representatives of the
front.
The resolution said the Vietnamese can decide their
country's fate and the House opposes "any form of false
peace."
Casualty reports for the final week of 1967 showed Ameri
can deaths from all causes in Vietnam were nearing 20,000.

Humphrey Faces Anti-American Protests
KINSHASA, the Congo About 150 Congolese youths
carrying anti-American banners charged into Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey's motorcade yesterday and one youth
aimed a kick at Humphrey's car.
The 28-car motorcade slowed, but then continued on into
the city and the youths tore up an American flag after the
cars passed.
The incident occurred as Humphrey entered Kinshasa
from the airport on his arrival in the Congo on a ni-..2-nation
African tour. It was the first anti-American demonstration
Humphrey has faced on the tour.
He leaves for Zambia today after meeting with President
Joseph D. Mobutu.
The youths had massed at' a monument of Patricia
Lumumba, onetime premier of the Congo who was slain in
1961.-
When the motorcade approached the youths crowded the
road and thumped on some of the ears. The vehicle carrying
Mrs. Humphrey was not disturbed.
Johnson Pushes Bonds to Stem Gold. Outflow

Asian Flu Outbreaks Take Heavy Tc►il
ATLANTA, Ga.—lnfluenza and other respiratory ail
ments have taken a heavy toll from the Eastern Seaboard
all the way to Colorado, with outbreaks reported in more
than 34 states and the District of Columbia.
Reports reaching the National Communicable Disease
Center show that Asian flu has been 'documented with
laboratory tests in at least 14 states.
These include Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, Ala
bama, New York, Oklahoma, Illinois, Kansas, lowa,
Georgia, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Tennessee and Connecti
cut. •
However, an Associated Press survey yesterday
showed that state health officials in at least two other
states—Texas and Pennsylvania—reported that the Asiari
flu virus has been identified.
Laboratory tests are sometimes slow in reaching the
NCDC, authorities say, and for that reason documentation
of the virus may sometimes be reported a week or more
after it has actually been identified.

Postal Rate Increases to Cost $22 Million
WASHINGTON Post Office Department officials
predicted yesterday that the $9OO-million increase in postal
rates starting Sunday—the most extensive rate change in
history—will cost it about $22 million to put into effect.
, Officials stressed, however, that the $22-million figure
is strictly an estimate and includes a variety of costs rang
ing from printing new posters and forms and resetting
stamp vending machines to putting into effect new regu
lations against mailing sexually provocative advertising.
The increases become effective on mail postmarked
after midnight tomorrow. The increase will raise the cost
of maliing a regular first-class letter from 5 to 6 cents.
Airmail letters go from 8 to 10 cents; postal cards from 4
to 5 cents; airmail cards from 6 to 8 cents.
The post office expects the increase to go into effect
without any hitches.

Shafer Vetoes Controversial Pension Bill
HARRISBURG Gov. Shafer vetoed the controver
sial legislative pension bill yesterday moments after the
House and Senate officially had requested him to return
it for remedial amendments.
"I have vetoed this legislation, not because I am op
posed to helping our legislators achieve better retire
ment, but on the basis that certain aspects of , . . the bill
are unconscionable and contrary' to the tenents of sound
and good government." Shafer said in a statement.
The governor said he was fully aware that the law
makers wanted the bill back to remedy its next con
tentious aspects—as evidenced by unanimous voice-vote
approval of a recall resolution in both chambers.
But he added that he had been advised by Atty. Gen.
William C. Sennett in a binding formal opinion that it
would be unconstitutional to ,honor the request.
Sennett held that the legislation had passed "beyond
the control" of the General Assembly since it was ap
proved by the 1967 session and the 1968 session was now
functioning.

‘uition Increase Oi • l^
'a
By RICHARD RAVITZ
Collegian Administration -Reporter
"No tuition hike"—that's the decision
now that the University and the State have
passed the "financial crisis" caused by budget
delay in Harrisburg.
According to spokesmen for the Univer
isty, a bill now on Gov. Raymond P. Sha
feet desk will renew the flow of State funds.
Tuition raises will be postponed for this
year, and the University's borrowing of
money from private institutions will end.
When Shafer signs the bill, it will end
what University President Eric A. Walker
described last month as "the most serious
financial crisis the University has faced since
the depression."
Loan Interest High
The University has been without funds
for the past six months and has been forced
to borrow heavily to cover maintenance
expenses.
Interest on the loans did not reach •the
$1 million mark,:as Walker had feared, but
the total has been described by the ad
ministration as a "substantial sum." ,

Indian Ambassador
Leaves for Cambodia
WASHINGTON (if')—Ambassador Ches
ter Bowles will go to Cambodia soon to
seek a way to deny Vietnamese Communists
a Cambodian sanctuary--hopefully without
sending in U.S. troops to do the job.
President Johnson announced yesterday
in Texas that Bowles, the American 'ambas
sador to India, will represent him in talks
at Phnom Penh with Prince Norodom Siha
nouk, the Cambodian chief of state.
The meeting was suggested last week
by Sihanouk who broke relations with the
United States in 1965, asserting that the U.S.
Central Intelligence Agency was plotting
against him. Since then he frequently has
criticized the American role in Vietnam and
denied that the North Vietnamese or the
Viet Cong were using Cambodia as a sanc
tuary.
Sihanouk Changes Course
But last week Sihanouk acknowledged,
in effect, that Cambodia was being used to
some extent as a refuge by Communists
withdrawing from engagements with U.S.
forces along the border between Cambodia
and South Vietnam.
Reversing an earlier position, Sihanouk
said he would not attack U.S. forces who
might move into Cambodian territory in
hot pursuit of fleeing Communist units. And
he said he would welcome a visit by a repre
sentative of President Johnson to discuss the

ICC Ineffective
The ICC, among other things, is charged
with protecting Cambodia's neutrality, but
it has been almost wholly ineffective in
policing the nation's borders.
Sihanouk has suggested the strengthen
ing of ICC capabilities for patrolling the
border and Bowles is expected to assure him
anew that the United States—although not
a signatory of the Geneva agreement—is pre
pared to provide helicopters, trucks and
other transportation and - communications
equipment to enable the ICC to keep the
border area under close surveillance.
This would be in line with the American

"Twenty years ago," he said,

Progressing; May
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) Dr.
Christiaan Barnard said yesterday heart trans..
plant patient Philip Blaiberg is "progressing
extremely well" but there were signs his body
might be reacting against the new heart.
The surgeon vowed not "to make the same
mistake" he said might have beep made in
the case of Lewis Washkansky by treating him
too quickly to overcome the body's\natural
tendency to reject foreign tissue.
Barnard told newsmen the 58-year-old re
tired
tired dentist showed the same signs doctors
had interpreted as rejection of the new heart'
by Washkansky, the first man to receive a
human heart transplant.
No Antirejection Treatment
Barnard has indicated intense antirejec
tion treatment may have weakened Washkan
sky's resistance to infection and contributed to
his death by pneumonia 18 days after the his
toric transplant of last Pee. 30.
Barnard said Blaiberg's condition probably
was better than Washkansky's, at the same
stage. "His circulation is very adequate and
his organs which had been affected by his bad
heart are now returning to normal," he said.
The medical superintendent at Groote
Schuur Hospital said the chances were "very
remote" that Blaiberg's body would reject the
heart.
Lawyers for the Blaibergs, meanwhile, said
they would share money they are due to re
ceive under a contract they signed last week
with the National Broadcasting Co. of New
York for television rights.
The lawyers hid first announced that the
Blaibergs would not keep any of the money for
"personal needs." A spokesman for th , l lawyers

he warned, this eagerness must
be guided by wisdom and hu

naivete.
Undergraduate Student Gov

Long, who also spoke at the
convocation, said that "being
here gives a student a chance
to be himself, perhaps for the
first time in his life.
"At Penn State," he added,
"as big, as it is, with all its

themselves to the University

said later the Blaibergs would, however, share.
in the money, with undetermined percentages
going to those involved in the operation.
The contract was disclosed Wednesday.
when NBC obtained a temporary restraining
order to prevent the sale of pictures of the
operation said to have been obtained by a South
African photographer who slipped into the

was for $50,000, half the sum apparently was
nullified because Barnard refused NBC per
mission to take pictures of the operation.

Dr. Jacobus Burger, the medical super- ,
