VOL. 68, No. 46 ~ , ,,v ai, s , A vau from the associated press wau.rzamr s i h News Roundup: trom the State, • Nation C 7 World The World 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 BRUSSELS, Belgium—President lohnSon is trying to sell U.S. Treasury bonds to prosperous West European countries to counter the outflow of gold and dollars spent by American troops in Europe,-authoritative,-sources-,said yesterday. - This is one of the forms of cooperation in defense of the dollar that Nicholas Katzenbach, undersecretary of state, is seeking on his tour of Western Europe. He visited Brussels, headquarters of the European Cbmmon Market and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, yesterday. Then he went to The Hague, capital of Holland, and on to Rome. He also will visit Paris. The United States has an outflow of $l.l billion a year because of its troops stationed in the Common Market countries: West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Hol land and Luxembourg. The Nation 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. The State 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.

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." , Well-Deserved Rest MIS AND M.

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 PR Conference Tomorrow The University's first pro fessional Public Relation Con ference will be held tomorrow in the Hetzel Union Building. More than 75 students are ex pected to attend. The Public Relations Confer ence, sponsored by The Daily Collegian. will feature speeches and workshops led by profes sional public relations people. Ralph H. Wherry, professor of public relations and insurance, will serve as moderator for the conference. The major activ ities will begin at one p.m. in the HUB Assembly Hall. The keynote address will be given by Ron Rich, president of Communications Inc., the largest public relations firm between Pittsburgh and Phila delphia. He will speak on the merits of public relations. There will also be speakers from radio and the press speak ing on publicity. The lectures will be followed by three half hour workshops, accordine . to Ronald Resnikoff, chairman of the conference.

Bowles interrupted a vacation in South India to hurry back to New Delhi for a con ference with Indian Prithe Minister Indira Gandhi on the• Cambodian question. Bowles is to go to Phnom Penh in a few days. India, Canada and Poland are members of the International Control Commission set up under the Geneva agreements of 1952 which were intended to neutralize and stabi lize the states making up what once was French Indo-China. 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 desire to avoid sending troops into Cambodia to prevent use of its territory as a haven where Communist units can rest and regroup without the threat of ground or air attack by U.S. forces.

Charles Lewis, vice-president for student affairs has said that the University is suffering from a communications" - gap.

Walker reminded new students of the changing role of education. He delivered his remarks Wednesday evening at the Winter Term convocation. "Twenty years ago," he said, "the purpose of a college edu cation was to prepare students to earn a living. "Today, we face something more demanding and challeng ing. We must educate you to be responsible citizens in a com plex world." Students are pri - A - eged mem bers of society, said Walker, and must accept the responsi bility of its leadership. They must use the facts they learn in school to form their own opinions, he said. "Facts are the tools of learn ing," said Walker, "and one is not educated until one learns to use them." Walker told the group he be lieved that eagerness to act is a significant characteristic of the present generation. Wit. '..H4oort - Troosptont 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 , .

Undergraduate Student Gov ernment president J e f f r e y 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 impersonalities, you need not be a number. It's up to you." Long concluded by challeng ing the new students to commit themselves to the University and its activities. Of these 560 new students who will be registering in Rec. Hall for the first time this week, 130 are freshmen, 210 are transfers from common,vealth campuses, and 220 are from other colleges and universities.

"The result is that large expenditures must be made to pay interest 'on borrowed money, and the universities are unable to plan with any degree of assurance that goals and obligations can be met. - Devaluation "The result is a serious devaluation of the educational dollar in Pennsylvania." University R e 1 a ti o n s Representative Reed Ferguson said in December that the• ;, state assembly is acting more tardily every ; year on university appropriations, and the University must expect longer delays in the next years.

Patient Survive 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 operating theatres' gallery. While the contract was for $50,000, half the sum apparently was nullified because Barnard refused NBC per mission to take pictures of the operation. No Film Crews Allowed Dr. Jacobus Burger, the medical super- , Intendent, said these pictures were not allowed because of the risk of infection from the.film- Ines crew. The South African photographer, ' Don McKenzie, was ejected Oom the. gallery when his presence was discovered. "We caught some NBC people in the cor ridor and threw them out," said Burger. "I do not know if 'they had taken any pictures." • Blaiberg's \lawyers said money received "will be donated \ to organizations and individ uals connected with the heart transplant opera tion." The lawyers said the Blaibergs had avoided publicity until they we're approached by NBC .• for exclusive rights. They, added the BlaibergS contracted on the basis \that shares' of the income be paid to the hospitakor to the recently established Chris 'Barnard Fu d for heart re search or the estate of the he rt donor Clive Haupt. , Haupt, a 24-year-old factory orker, died : of a stroke. Mrs. Haupt declined to say whether she knew anything about the prospect of re-. ceiving a share in the contract. "It's a lot of money," the young la *dow , said. Blaiberg remained in an oxygen tent unde constant observation and the hospital, said he was making "satisfactory progress." "He has had no solid foods yet, but gen erally he is in good spirits," the bulletin said. ' —collegian Photo by Mike Urban SEVEN CENTS
