Vietnam Ground War Casualty Statistics Rise
SAIGON Casualty statistics from battle action's
year apart reflect an intensification of the Vietnam ground
war due in some degree to revived Communist quests for
the initiative.
Spokesmen announced yesterday that 466 of the allies
including 184 Americans—about the recent average—died
last week in combat in which they killed a record 2,868
Comthunist troops.
In contrast, the first week of January 1967 was rela
tively quiet. The allies then listed. 190 dead, including 67
Americans, and said they had killed 626 Viet Cong and
North Vietnamese soldiers.
Widely scattered ground clashes were reported yester
day while a dense cloud cover continued to cut down air
operations over North Vietnam.
The monsoon weather limited U.S. pilots to 75 missions
against targets north of the border Wednesday. All were
radar-guided attacks and there were no immediate bomb
damage assessments.
Polish Communists Expel American Attache
WARSAW, Poland The Polish government charged
yesterday that army attaches of the U.S. and Canadian
embassies were caught "carrying out intelligence activi
ties," and the American was ordered to leave Poland be
fore Jan. 15.
He is Lt. Col. Edward H. Metzger, 42, of Quincy, Mass.,
on assignment in Warsaw since May 1966.
The Polish accusation, carried by the official press
agency PAP, said Metzger and the Canadian attache, Lt.
Col. Kenneth I. Jefferson attempted to photograph a mili
tary establishment on Jan. 4.
An official statement by the U.S. Embassy, making
no mention of Jefferson, said Metzger was walking along
a major thoroughfare in Bydgoszcz in northern Poland,
"was apprehended at gun point by military personnel,
detained against his will, denied permission to' telephone
the American Embassy and forcibly searched."
Mid-Eastern Oil States Ponder Defense Pact
LONDON Five Middle Eastern oil states were re
ported urgently pondering a new defense pact last night
after hearing of Britain's provisional decision to quit her
Persian Gulf bases by 1971.
Senior diplomats said the highly secret moves, initiated
by Iran, have Britain's support.
The Iranians are even bringing such hostile neighbors
as Iraq and Bahrain into the picture. They hope to head
off another fierce power contest in the strategic area.
Other• countries involved, according to the informants, are
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Already Iran has won Russian backing—sloo million
worth of arms aid—for an over-all $BOO million program
to re-equip and modernize her armed forces.
A Foreign Office minister, Goronwy Roberts, returned
today from the Gulf region, where he has been warning
local monarchs and shieks to expect an early announcement
of Britain's withdrawal.

Treasury Officials Participate in Bond Rally
WASHINGTON Despite yearly drives to increase
sales of savings bonds, the Treasury Department is paying
out more money under the program than it takes in—and
has been for several years.
Treasury officials from Secretary Henry H. Fowler
on down have just taken part in the annual two-day rally
of the U.S. Industrial Bond Committee in an attempt to
step up sales through the payroll savings plan.
This year's goal is to sign up two million persons to
buy bonds where they work or to increase the amount
they buy.
But the Treasury's, own figures show that in every
month last year, the department paid out more to indi
viduals who cashed in bonds than it collected from new
bond purchases.
The redemption price includes the amount originally
paid for the bond plus any interest which may have ac
crued during the months or years the bond was held.
National Farm Group Launches Price War
CORNING, lowa The National Farmers Organiza
tion, pledging "no price, no production," launched yester
day another campaign to boost agricultural prices by with
holding farm products front market.
Initial target is grain, to be followed at later dates
by so-called withholding action on meat, milk and other
farm commodities.
President Oren Lee Staley said the action "is designed
to shut down the American agricultural plant until our
members get a fair price for their products."
The militant farm group, sometimes called "the angry
young men of agriculture," said it is urging its members
in 30 states to stop selling grain as the beginning step.
The NFO conducted six previous withholding actions,
major ones on livestock in 1962 and 1964 and on milk last
March. The boycotts resulted in some violence.
Tons of milk were dumped in fields and streets as part
of the milk action.
Stanford Heart Transplant Victim Progresses
STANFORD, Calif. The condition of Mike Kasperal,
whose life was saved by a heart transplant Saturday night,
continues to improve, his doctors reported yetserday.
Use of an artificial kidney has been discontinued, the
mid-morning medical bulletin from Stanford Medical Cen
ter said, and his kidney function has turned to near normal.
"His blood pressure, pulse and cardiac functions are
normal," the bulletin continued.
"He is still being fed intravenously. The patient is
breathing- spontaneously without the assistance of a respi
rator for part of the time. His liver function continues to
improve."
Kasperak's physicians were so pleased with his progress
they said no further reports would be made unless there
is a noteworthy change.
They noted, however, that he remained on the criti
cal list.

Con Con Withdraws Milk Proposal
HARRISBURG A proposal to abolish the state Milk
Control Commission was withdrawn unexpectedly from
the Constitutional Convention yesterday, but its sponsors
say they have not given up the battle.
The sponsors, delegates Henry P. Otto of Pittsburgh
and Richard L. Huggins of McKeespOrt, said. they intend
to introduce "a stronger amended proposal" when the con
vention returns next week.
Otto and Huggins withdrew their original proposal
Wednesday by dropping an appeal from a ruling by
Lt. Gov. Raymond J. Broderick, convention president, that
the question of consumer price controls was outside the
convention's liimted jurisdiction.
The surprise move came at the end of an hour-long
debate in which Otto, Huggins and a third sponsor, dele
gate Harold H. Goldman, had argued the convention had
every right to consider the proposal.

The University and the Under

established a financial aid fund for
bed-ridden students at the Ritenour

Steven Gerson, USG Adminis

"Students should be aware of
the fact that in most cases bills are
sent directly to the student's home
address," Gerson said. USG has re
quested that a letter explaining the
fund be included in the billing en

The Ritenour cause has not been
completely abandoned, however.
USG is continuing to work on a
solution to the present over-night

HARRISBURG (AP) Gov.
Shafer interrupted his Virgin
Islands vacation yesterday to
sign into law a bill providing
the 16 legislative leadership of
fices with annual pay increases
ranging from $1,500 to 58,500.
The measure along with $l2B
million in appropriations, in
cluding $lO4 million for the
three state-related universities,
was approved by Shafer at his
vacation retreat at St. Croix,
his Harrisburg office reported.
The bills were transmitted to
the gm ernor by Budget Secre
tary Arthur F. Sampson, who
went to the Virgin Islands
Wednesday for some prelimi
nary discussions on the 1968-
69 budget.
The legislative pay bill pri
marily provided a :.0-to-15 per
cent salary increase for legis

USG has investigated some com

unjustly blamed. One incident in

Faculty Refuses To Use
Final Exam Schedule
By RICHARD RAVITZ
Collegian Administration
Reporter
Only about 1) ix cent of the
University faculty used the 110-
minute period set aside by the
University Senate for admin
istering final examinations in
the academic year 1966-67.
Data given yesterday by Rob.
ert E. Dunham, assistant to the
vice president for resident in
struction, indicated that a sub
stantial number of depart
ments, and a majority of the
colleges; are not using the final
exam schedule.
Less than one-half of the fac
ulty used the last class period
in 'their courses for testing,
and 38.3 per cent in 1966-67 did
not use the last clasz, for any
purpose.
Dunham said the Senate pro
posed and adopted the new final
exam schedule on its own in
itiative. "The faculty was con
certed about loss of class time.
They are actually depriving
themselves of the time they
were concerned about losing,"
Dunham said.
The examination schedule no
longer covers graduate courses,
and a number of courses in
several colleges, particularly
the College of Health and
Physical Education where
many subjects do not lend
themselves final examinations.
The resident instruction of
fice has encouraged depart
ments to use final examina
tions. Dunham said "a student
ought to be evaluated for his
whole effort" in the course of
a term. Three-fourths of the
faculty consider final examina
tions important, according to a
poll conducted by the office of
resident instruction.
Dunham stressed the need to
allow departments to make

In 1958, Penn State was hit
with an epidemic which filled the
Health Center with over one hun
dred patients. In addition, doctors
were making regular "house calls"
in the residence halls to treat many
students who could not be treated at
the Health Center.
Using bacteria samples sent by
the University, the U.S. Public
Health Service determined that most
of the 1958 epidemic could be traced
to a viral infection.
Dr. Ingrain urged students to
get proper rest, as a preventative
measure, and at the first sign of ill
ness, to report to the Health Center

years ago, Lois Marshall, Canada's gifted soprano, has
toured the world. She recently completed her sixth tour
of the Soviet Union. She brings warmth of personality and
unchallenged artistry to everything she sings.
Samuel Baron, flutist, is one of America's foremost
flutists and in addition to his work with the Bach Aria
Group, is a member of the New York Woodwind Quintet.
Robert Bloom, as oboist, has had solo appearances with

Froth Stops

Publication of Froth, the

According to John Harrison,
Chairman of the Board of Di

Directors meeting yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock in Car

that publication would be sus

week, forcing Froth to discon
tinue publication since its
charter requires that it have a
faculty adviser.
Froth, which prints about
5,000 copies each issue, had
planned to go to press in about
terr days.
According to Steve DeSousa,
art editor for the magazine, the
purpose of Froth is "to pick
out things on the campus that
should be satirized, and make
the students laugh." According
to DeSousa, who co-authors
"The Adventures of Gross-Out

a "high quality publication, in
content and in physical quality
as compared to similar publica
tions on other college cam
puses."
