They also ordered continued truce-period air attacks in North Vietnam’s southern panhandle. “It is something I would label an invasion,” a U.S. senior officer said in Saigon of the northern troop massing. It is no longer just infiltration.” “Only the size of the forthcoming fighting is in doubt,” one commander at Khe Sanh told Peter Arnett, Associated Press correspondent. "I would say it will be a cross be tween the worst at Dak To and the battle of Dien Bien Phu.” Allied intelligence indipates the North Vietnamese in tend to do major battle in the hilly jungles of the Khe Sanh region, where the Communists unleashed heavy ar tillery and rocket attacks last week. The announcement exempting the Ist Corps area and the southern panhandle from truce provisions came from the South Vietnamese government. It said the decision was taken because observance of a cease-fire would have risked the lives ■of American and South Vietnamese de fenders. “It is not militarily logical to let the enemy have 36 hours of resupply and movement while we sit there and get hit,” a U.S. senior officer in Saigon commented. The Nation Supreme Court Invalidates Gamblers' Tax WASHINGTON The Supreme Court yesterday up set the government’s system of flushing out gamblers for prosecution when it invalidated laws requiring them to register and pay special taxes. If the gamblers obey these laws, Justice John M. Har lan said in a 7-1 decision, they provide evidence that could lead to their own prosecution under separate state and federal anti-gambling laws. Thus, in view of the Fifth Amendment guarantee against self-incrimination, Harlan went on, a gambler can not be punished for refusing on constitutional grounds to register or to pay the special taxes. With an identical vote and identical logic, the court also upset government procedures for prosecuting posses sors of unregistered sawed-off shotguns, machineguns and silencers. Chief Justice Earl Warren dissented, in both cases, saying he is “puzzled by the reasoning process” of the majority. Denver Kidnapper, Thief Surrenders DENVER. Colo. A gunman, holding four persons hostage, was captured Monday in the Denver suburb of Aurora, more than seven hours after he fled from the scene of an abortive supermarket holdup. The hostages were unharmed after the wild, 250-mile ride that started in northeast Denver about 8 a.m., and covered a circuitous, clockwise route south of here to Colo rado Springs,' northeast to Limon and northwest back to ward Denver. One of the hostages, Andy Anderson, 29, an employe of the market, King Soopers, said another captive, Denver Police Sgt. Lawrence P. Morahan, talked the man into surrendering. The State Spock Leads Anti-Draft March in Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH Some 150 draft dissenters paraded and heard speeches Monday in support of Dr. Benjamin Spock, an antidraft leader. The sign-carrying group, made up chiefly of young people—some of them bearded boys—paraded in a plaza at an entrance to the new Federal Building. Military personnel walked by the demonstrators while going in and out of the building. There were no incidents. Among the speakers was the Rt. Rev, Msgr. Charles O. Rice, a Roman Catholic priest often described as Pitts burgh’s “labor priest.” He is against American participa tion in the war in Vietnam. Demonstration leader solicited signatures on a letter pledging resistance to the draft. Msgr. Rice and abodt 20 others later took a copy of the letter to U.S. Attorney Gustave L. Diamond. Monday, Dr. Spock, a baby specialist, and four other men pleaded innocent in U.S. District Court at Boston to charges of counseling young men to avoid the draft. ★ ★ ★ Pennsylvania Coal Miners Go On Strike PITTSBURGH Western Pennsylvania’s coal mines were shut down Monday by a strike of more than 13,000 miners protesting the use of state police against pickets at non-union mine. A meeting was set for this afternoon with Secretary of Labor and Industry William Hart to see if the strike could be brought to an early end. Officials of the United Mine Workers wouldn’t talk about how long the protest might last. However, rank and file members attending a funeral for a picket who died last week talked about a shutdown of three to five days “Our fathers went through this problem of facing police force and we won’t let it happen again,” said James W. Kelly, secretary-treasurer of District 4 and one of the few union officials who would talk with reporters. “If the state police want to mine coal, there it is,” he said. "Let them mine it.” Sennett to Report Findings on LSD Hoax HARRISBURG Atty. Gen. William C. Sennett will make public his findings in the LSD hoax case at a news conference at 10 a.m. today, it was announced yesterday. Sennett and Jack L. Conmy, public relations secretary to Gov. Shafer, will discuss the report at the news confer ence in Conmy’s office. The governor will not appear, a spokesman said. The attorney general’s investigation followed a dis closure by Shafer Jan. 18 that the reported blinding of six Pennsylvania college students who took LSD was a hoax. Norman Yoder, state commissioner for the blind, was suspended from his $20,629-a : year job by Shafer, who said Yoder had fabricated the story because of his apparent concern about the dangers of the hallucinogenic drug.

Presidential press secretary George Christian said a number of diplomatic chan nels are active, but at the same time he said the United States is making “prudent, or derly, and limited deployment” of military forces in the Korean crisis area. U.S. troops along the North Korea-South Korea truce line reported yesterday they beat back several infiltration attempts from the North. The United Nations Security Council, apparently frustrated in its search for a solu tion, called off its New York meetings in definitely to enable consultations to continue “on an urgent basis.” The Council was called into emergency session last Friday at U.S. request. Other Channels Open Christian told newsmen at the White House that “There are a number of other channels which are available to us and are active at this time.” He added that “It wouldn’t be desirable to discuss these.” Christian said President Johnson spent much of the weekend conferring on the problem posed by North Korea’s seizure a week ago of the electronic intelligence ship Pueblo and its crew of 83 Americans.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30, 1968 Congress Shows impatience; Troops At Korean DMZ Area tion appears determined to press every effort for a peaceful way out, while still making a few preliminary military preparations. In Congress, Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois said “I don’t disdain diplomatic efforts, but I want to be sure that North Korea does not get the idea they can get away with this.” Declaring “We've been treated to a king-sized dose of daution from some quar ters,” Dirksen said the issue is simple: “A U.S. vessel, its skipper and crew have been hijacked on the high seas and imprisoned in an enemy land.” “Let’s not be impatient, they say,” Dirk sen said. “Don’t be rash. Enlist the offices of the United Nations. Enlist the cooperation of the Soviet Union.” Dirksen said he doesn’t want anyone to get the idea that “we’re going to take this lying down.” Sen. Russell B. Long, D-La., the assist ant majority leader, said the seizure of the Pueblo was “an act of war against the United States” and this country must respond to it. “What that response will be will have to be decided by the President, the commander Koreans seized the intelligence ship Pueblo last week, but there was no specific infor- mation, Park and his security officials met at the presidential mansion. Informants said the meeting studied, among other things, an idea put out by North Koreans in New Delhi that the 83 crewmen of the Pueblo be ex changed for captured members of the squad sent to kill Park. The Foreign Ministry called the idea “outrageous and nonsensical.” South Korea has captured only one of the North Koreans. North Vietnam followed Red China and the Viet Cong in applauding North Korea’s seizure of the Pueblo. Hanoi radio de nounced the “intrusion” of the Pueblo into North Korean waters and asserted the in cident was “violating the independence and security of North Korea and threatening the peace of Asia and the world.” In Seoul, many Koreans forgot the ten sion of the Pueblo’s seizure and the assassi nation plot to celebrate the traditional lunar new year. But not 3,000 students from Song Sil High School. The students paraded with banners say ing, “Let us refresh our anti-Communist spirit and crush indirect aggression,” “Do not forget the blood we shed in the Korean War,” and “Let us crush North Korean aggression and defend our free republic.” • Permit the General As sembly, with the advice and consent of the Supreme Court, to establish oi abolish courts. The panel was expected to vote on the proposal some time last night, probably after lengthy debate. Action in Committees The full convention met brief ly yesterday, but most action was expected to take place in committee sessions rather than on the floor. The committees have until Friday to complete their delib erations and report proposals for revising the state’s 93-year old Constitution to the conven tion floor. In addition to the court re form plan, other major issues yet to be resolved include leg islative apportionment and the question of whether public utili ties should be exempt from lo cal real estate taxes. . The Committee on Legisla tive Apportionment was not scheduled to meet yesterday. The Committee on Taxation and State Finance did meet, but it was not expected to con sider the public utilities’ pro posal until late last night, if then. U.N. a Failure P3U Graduate Captured No Exchange By law, the convention must complete its work by Feb. 29. That means delegates will have nearly four full weeks to debate revision proposals after Fri day’s deadline for their sub mission to the floor. A total of 210 proposals were introduced from the floor for committee consideration. To date, only one a rec ommendation that the current makeup of the General As sembly be retained—has been reported back to the floor by a committee.

Long said one thing the United States could do would be to order the U.S. Navy to capture an equal number of North Ko reans from the fishing vessels now at sea. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans field of Montana urged caution. He said it would do no good to go into Wonsan and re capture the Pueblo by force or bomb North Korea as that would “seal the doom” of the 83 Americans. Mansfield said Sunday that if it would bring about the release of the Pueblo and its crew, “I would admit that it was taken in territorial waters, even though that is not the truth.” The United States denies North Korea’s charge that the Pueblo was inside the Com munist country’s 12-mile limit. Where’s Bucher? White House reporters asked Christian if the U.S. government knows the where abouts of Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher and his Pueblo crew. “I would hesitate to speculate,” Christian replied. Even the North Koreans seemed to be in a quandry about what to do next. Charges Harassment of Activists Buckley Asserts FBI 'Superbust' By RICHARD RAVITZ Collegian Administration Reporter The alleged “superbuot” on marijuana users in the Univer sity Park area has been in progress since the beginning of Winter Term, according to Neil Buckley, a correspondent for The National Guardian, a left ist weekly. A large network of investiga tion, including 200 student in formers, Campus Security, state narcotics agents and about 14 agents of the Federal Bureau of investigation, are in volved in the crackdown, Buck ley said. A student was arrested last Friday and charged with pos session of narcotics. There are unconfirmed reports of earlier arrests. Buckley said anti-war acti vists have borne the brunt of federal and state agent “har assment.” He asserted that leading activists have already been questioned by FBI agents about use and possession of marijuana. The FBI has doubled its staff in this area since September, Buckley said. The information which he and other campus leaders have gathered on the “superbust” will be published in the Guardian Feb. 3. Graveyard Uncovered On Grounds of Prison CUMMINS PRISON FARM, Ark. (AP) Wooden coffins containing the skeletons of three men were uncovered yes terday afternoon on the Cum mins Prison Farm grounds and the prison physici said “as many as 100, if not more” bodies might he found. "I feel reasonably certain that there are more bodies out there,” said Dr. Edwin Barron Jr. of Little Rock, the prison physician. Prison Supt. Thomas 0. Mur ton, who started the investiga tion Monday, said he had no idea how many bodies might be found. “We will continue to dig as long as we have graves to dig,” he told newsmen. A former Prison Board mem ber who resigned this month, Grady Woolley of El Dorado, said the searchers might have uncovered a paupers’ grave yard that he said he thought was located in the area where the skeletons were found. Don Bassett, Cummins business manager, said, however, that a fenced graveyard on the prison grounds was about two miles away. Beaten to Death No identification of the skeletons was made, but Bar ran said one inmate reported that he helped bury the body of a convict called "Jake” at the site Dec. 4, 1947. Barron quoted the inmate as saying “Jake” was beaten to death. Murton, a penologist who has been superintendent about a month and whose intention to resign was an nounced earlier in the day, ordered exploratory digging to begin yesterday afternoon to check out reports that over the years convicts had been killed and buried on the 60,- 000-acre prison farm. Their radio announced last week that the Pueblo crew would be tried as criminals and severely punished for invading North Korea’s territorial waters. But then on Sunday a North Korean diplomatic spokesman in New Delhi said there was no reason why his government should not agree to an exchange of prisoners. He was referring to a team of infiltrators thwarted in an attempt to assassinate South Korean President Park. The prisoner exchange suggestion was rejected by a South Korean Foreign Minis try spokesman as “outrageous and nonsensi cal." While pursuing diplomatic efforts to bring about release of the Pueblo, the United States began . marshaling some military strength by calling up nearly 15,000 air re serves, freezing most requests for discharge from naval reserve units, and deploying naval and Air Force units in South Korea and the Sea of Japan.

The roommate, who asked not to be identified, said that Werme (3rd-business adminis tration-Bridgeville, Pa.) left for home yesterday afternoon. Murton said the names of more than 200 convicts dating to 1900 were on the prison’s list of unapprehended es capees and he wanted tc check inmate reports that some of the men had not escaped, but had been killed.

Murphy said much r. the talk about the crackdown is “hys teria” and “pure imagination.” According to Buckley, three members of the University chapter of Students for a Dem ocratic Society were arrested for "possession and intent to sell” marijuana Jan. 8. SDS member Robert Levin said he was warned b- Campus Security that students caught with marijuana in their posses sion would be expelled. Levin said he was also told instruc tors in possession of the drug would be fired. Ed Widmer, operator of the Jawbone, was reportedly told by FBI agents that “an in creased effort” was going on to find marijuana users. Buck ley said. 1 Womer, of the USG Legal Rights Committee, said "they’re after everyone who uses drugs, but they seem to be concentrating on political activists.” He estimated that there are at least 1,500 to 3,000 regular marijuana users on campus, at a conservative guess.
