President Thieu Calls For More U.S. Troops
SAIGON South Vietnam’s president- said yesterday
allied forces can hold the line in Vietnam but more U.S.
troops will be needed to bring the war to a quick end.
President Nguyen Van Thieu spoke while U.S. Ma
rines and South Vietnamese fought together in Hue in an
effort to wipe out the last major pocket of Communist
resistance in the walled Citadel. South Vietnamese war
planes pounded the fortress.
The Vietnamese air force, took advantage of clear
ing weather to bomb and strafe the die-hard Commu
nist forces that have held the Citadel for two weeks
despite South Vietnamese efforts- to drive them out. U.S.
Marine reinforcements were called in and entered the
Citadel for the first time.
The Communist North Vietnamese regulars and Viet
Cong guerrillas fired a hail of .50-caliber bullets at the
raiding planes. Communist forces are holding out in the
southeast third of the 2Vz -square-mile fortress, once
the home of Vietnamese emperors and now a pile of
ruins.
U Thant Visits Britain for Peace Talks
LONDON U.N. Secretary-General U Thant flew in
from Moscow yesterday seeking Britain’s help to head
off a runaway escalation of the Vietnamese war and get
peace talks started.
Outward signs suggested Thant had found little en
couragement for his mission during meetings with Soviet
leaders in Moscow.
Thant’s stop in London to confer with Prime Minis
ter Harold Wilson was the third in a quickly arranged
tour that took him to India before his call in Moscow!
He will return to New York today.
India’s Prime Minister .Indira Gandhi, according to
diplomats here, assured the secretary-general of her gov
ernment’s constant readiness to back any worthwhile at
tempt inside or outside the United Nations for peace talks.
Each of the three countries he has visited at a time of
intensifying conflict in Vietnam has a' significant role to
play in the peacemaking and peacekeeping process.
Vance Talks With South Korean President
SEOUL U.S. special envoy Cyrus R. Vance had a
three-hour talk yesterday with President Chung Hee Park
and other Korean officials aimed at shoring up a rift
between the two allies.
Tension flared Jan. 21 with a 31-man North Korean
commando raid aimed at assassinating Park. It grew to
fever pitch two days later when North Korean patrol
boats seized the U.S. intelligence ship Pueblo off the coast
of North Korea.
Since then, the Americans and North Koreans held
a series of five talks at Panmunjom truce village on the
Pueblo incident from which both the South Koreans and
the Communist Chinese allies of North Korea were
barred. - 1 ; i : • . , . - —’ '
The South Korean' public, press and political leaders
did not like the secrecy. It was felt that the Americans
were paying attention to the Pueblo and its crew at the
expense of the North Korean threat to South Korea,
that the United States might appease the North Koreans
and thus threaten South Korean security.
The Nation
Negroes Pressure Businesses With Boycott
ORANGEBURG, S.C. The first day of a Negro eco
nomic boycott prompted business and civic leaders to hold
closed door meetings yesterday and ponder sweeping civil
rights demands in the wake of racial violence.
Bankers gathered for private talks on employment
practices and a newly formed biracial committee met in
closed session.
How successful the boycott was could not be im
mediately determined. There were few Negroes among
shoppers in the business district during the day.
More than 600 National Guardsmen remained on duty
with sentries posted about the campus of South Carolina
State College, scene of an outburst Thursday night that
left three Negroes dead and 37 injured.
About 800 Npgroes in a Sunday meeting voted for a
boycott of white-owned businesses to bring pressure for
racial changes and immediate withdrawal of the National
Guard.
Farmers Extend Embargo to Meat Products
DES MOINES, lowa A 35-state grain market boycott
by the National Farmers Organization was extended to
meat yesterday in the second phase of an all-commodity
withholding action aimed at boosting prices.
The meat embargo was called one month after the
NFO instructed its members to hold corn, oats, wheat, rye
soybeans and sorghums off the market until prices reached
predetermined levels.
The final phase of the action, a milk sales boycott, is
planned at an as yet unscheduled date, said NFO president
Oren Lee Staley.
The organizatibn urged its members to hold cattle,
hogs and sheep from packing houses until prices rise as
much as six cents a pound.
“We’re prepared to hold whatever time it takes,” said
Staley. How long the action lasts will depend on the
desire of the packing industry to fight.”
The State
Teachers' Organization Threatens Strike
HARRISBURG Pennsylvania school teachers were
advised yesterday to cool their angry threat of a one
day strike and demonstration March 4 in pressing for
higher starting salaries.
It was the Pennsylvania State Educators Associa
tion’s 1,000-member House of Delegates which over
whelmingly approved a resolution last Saturday calling
for a demonstration in Harrisburg March 4 by 25 per
cent of'the organization’s 80,000 membership.
Those teacher members \hho did not protest in the
Capital were advised to take March 4 off for “profes
sional seminars” back home.
The teachers are fighting for a new bill which
would increase starting salaries from $4,500 to $6,000
over three years.
Legislative leaders, who preferred not to be drawn
into a public argument with the teachers, generally
were agreed that a protest in Harrisburg would do little
to speed up passage of the measure.
Abel Quits Americans for Democratic Action
PITTSBURGH President I. W Abel of the United
Steelworkers quit the board of the Americans for Demo
cratic Action (ADA) yesterday because the ADA isn’t
backing President Johnson for reelection.
In a wire to ADA Chairman John K. Galbraith, the
president of the 1.2 million member steel union said: “The
• board’s repudiation of President Johnson on the basis of
a single issue in a time of national concern and commit
ment, while ignoring the President’s overall record of ac
complishment in areas of traditional concern to ADA, is
unwarranted, unrealistic, shortsignted and ignores the
realities of the present political situation.”
The ADA board, meeting in Washington Saturday,
voted 65-47 to support Eugene McCarthy, a Minnesota
Democrat and Vietnamese peace advocate, for president.
It was the first time in 20 years that the ADA hasn’t backed
an incumbent Democrat for president.

USG Pushes for Book Store
By KITTY PHILBIN
Collegian USG Reporter
The Undergraduate Student Govern
ment is persisting in its efforts to have a
University-operated student bookstore estab
ished on campus, despite what USG officials
call “a lack of reaction from the Adminis
tration.”
USG’s Administrative -Action Commis
sion compiled a report on the bookstore
situation and sent letters on the subject to
President Eric A. Walker, Vice 1 President
for Student Affairs Charles L. Lewis and
Vice President for Business Stanley Camp
bell.
Steve Gerson, chairman of the Adminis
trative Action Commission, said the letters
were sent last week, but no response has yet
been received from the recipients.
Gerson said that he believes the de

of the political science department, and Sen, Hugh Scott (right). The two senators
held a discussion period in the Hetzel Union Building Sunday night after their debate
in Schwab Auditorium.
Senators'
On War,
By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER
Collegian Editor
Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.)
and Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.)
traded views and comments on
U.S. domestic and foreign prob
lems Sunday night, taking
some friendly swipes at each
other in the process.
In the joint symposium at
Schwab which was continued in
the main lounge of the Hetzel
Union Building Clark and Scott
discussed Vietnam, the draft,
the Pueblo crisis and urban
problems.
Both Senators agreed on their
support of President Johnson
on the war in Vietnam, but both
men said they disagree with
various areas of the policy.
Clark, despite his objections
to the way the war is being
handled, predicted the U.S.
“will be engaged in negotia
tions before the summer’s
over.” He said President John
son is a “political realist” who
will end the war “by accepting
the offers that have been made
to negotiate.”
Blunders and Commitments
While Scott said he supported
the U.S. commitment, “a
sacrosanct thing involving
treaty obligations we can not Clark said he has no views
break,” Clark said he feels the on the pacification program,
U.S. “blundered” its way into but he called it “dead, in view
Vietnam. He added that he of the events of the last 10
does not feel the U.S. has a days.”
Distinguished Pianist
To Perform Tomorrow
Earl Wild, distinguished
American pianist and the first
ever to perform a recital over
television, will present a recital
of music by Frederic Chopin
at 8:30 p.m.' tomorrow in the
Recital Hall of the Music Build
ing.
The program, which will be
the first of three to be pre
sented by the pianist this year,
will be open to the public with
out charge.
Wild, recently appointed pro
fessor of music at Penn State,
is one of only two pianists to
have ever recorded the com
plete works for piano and or
chestra by Rachmoninoff. The
other was Rachmoninoff him
self.
Critic Allen Hughes, of The
New York Times, recently
praised Wild’s recording of the
Brahms Paganini Variations,

Clark, a reputed ‘ dove, re
cently returned from a fact
finding mission to Vietnam. He
said last night his trip con
vinced him that “our top peo
ple are living in a dream world
in their thinking about Asian
affairs.” He added that he be
lieves there is not so much of
a credibility gap' or a “put
over” in Vietnam policy as
much as he feels the Admin
istration is “unduly optimistic”
because of “wrong thinking.”
Scott said he is neither hawk,
dove or “pigeon,” and said he
does find fault with the way the
war is being handled. He also
suggested that a new Admin
istration would have more suc
cess in negotiations with Hanoi
—negotiations which he said
should include the Viet Cong.
“The-enemy is more liable to
deal with new faces than with
the old,” he said.
A land war in Asia, as Scott
decribed it, is “highly unwise,”
he said. Scott also argued
against the .present pacification

had setbacks elsewhere.”

and never is there the slightest

Wild’s program tomorrow
will consist of 12 of the Chopin

In addition, he will perform
the Grande Polonaise Opus 22,
a Chopin Ballade Opus 47, the
Cliopin Scherzo Opus 31 and
several other works.
Wild’s second piano recital,
which will be part of the Bee

Draft Proposal
Clark also proposed two
years mandatory military ser
vice for all men when they
reach age 18. He added that
he considers the present draft
law a “rotten one,” the "pro
duct of a military mind at
work.”
“As long as it's necessary
though,” he said, “I think we
should have some kind of man
datory program which would
leave-students free to lead their
lives with no overhanging mili
tary obligations to meet when
they leave college.” .
Scott said he disagrees with
areas of the selective service
law, but did not elaborate on
his view.
The Senators also challenged
each other on the Pueblo crisis.
Clark commended President
Johnson for restraint in the sit
uation. He added that the U.S.
“should never have to use
nuclear weapons” to save the
ship.
Scott said the word “never”
could be ruled out. He added
that he wished the U.S. had “a
president who knew what to
do” in the issue.

at the University, will per

No Show for IFC
By MARGE COHEN
Collegian IFC Reporter
Godfrey Cambridge will not
appear in Sunday’s Greek
Week Concert, Interfraternity
Council Concert Chairman Fred
Kirschner announced last
night.
Cambridge is hospitalized in
the Mt. Siani Hospital in New
York City, Kirschner said. The
reason "or his admission to the
hospital was not released.
Cambridge was to appear
with the Young Rascals in the
annual Recreation Hall concert,
sponsored by the IFC and the
Panhellenic Council. Kirschner
said that a replacement for
Cambridge is now being sought
and will be named at a later
time.
The Young Rascals will still
appear in concert, Kirschner
said.. He added that he expects
them “to break a new record
with their performance at the
University.”
The Rascals are one of the
best-known rock groups in
America. They broke into show
business in the fall of 1965 with
then- first hit, “I Ain’t Gonna
Eat Out My Heart Anymore.”
Since then, every record they
have released has been a big
seller.
Gold Hits
Two of their hit songs, “Good
Lovin” and “Groo-in’,” were
awarded gold records by At
lantic Records for sales of one
million copies. To date, they
have released four albums, the
latest, “Once Upon a Dream,!’
a psychedelic arrangement of
songs already named to “Bill
board.”
Two of their other albums,
“Collections” and “Groovin’,”
have made the top five album
chart listings. “The Young
Rascals” was their first LP.

done more than create hit rec

Although students would not save a tre
mendous amount of money on new books,
at most 10 per cent, USG says that an effi
ciently run University store could save
money on general school supplies, besides
savings on used books.
The Administrative Action Commission’s
report cited instances at the University of
Pittsburgh, plus PSU Commonwealth cam
puses, where University-operated stores are
conducting business successfully.
In October of 1960, it was reported to
USG that “87 per cent of the State Uni
versities with over 10,000 students enrolled
have book stores, and every major school
in Pennsylvania has a book store.” The
number has increased over the past seven
years.
Gerson called for mass faculty and stu
dent support of USG in its attempt to have
the bookstore plan approved; USG can pass
another resolution but the main response
must come from the student body.

Hike Necessary
By JAY SHORE
Collegian Editorial Columnist
State Rep. Lee Donaldson (R-AUegheny) said last night
that he would support a tuition hike of $lOO a year if
raising taxes was the Only alternative to meet an $ll mil
lion education request.
“I don’t think the tuition figure of $450 a year is
sacrosanct/’ he said. The House Majority Leader said the
$37 million increase in funds available to state schools is
significantly below the total figure requested.
Speaking of last week’s activities in the Constitutional
Convention, the ex-officio delegate thought that the Con
vention had gotten too bogged down in discussion over
the reduction of the size of the House.
He is against the legislative apportionment commit
tee’s proposal which asks that the House maintain its
present 203 membership. . >
Donaldson said that the Con Con is doing exactly what
it had set out to correct in that it is rigidifying proposals
and not operating along broad lines.
Although Donaldson is satisfied with the present size
of the House, he remarked that he might feel different
within the next decade.
“I don’t think the Pennsylvania Constitution should
lock-in a House size of any number ... I think it’s an ab
surdity to set a figure,” Donaldson said.
A large House, however, does yield some advantages,
he said. Because of a relatively small constituency (one
legislator to 60,000 people), any man with a “few dollars"
can campaign for office, he noted.
“A large House has always been more responsive to
progressive legislation than a small Senate,” he also point
ed out.
Speaking on legislative issues, Donaldson claimed that
an increase in teachers’ salaries to a minimum of $6,000 a
year is “the most pressing problem this session.”
He is committed to the increase because he thinks it
necessary. “We have to find the money,” he said. He didn’t
say, where the money would come from.
“Many structural changes will be difficult without
public support,” was Donaldson’s reply to a question ask
ing him when the legislators will get down to work.
On other- topics, Donaldson said he was in favor of the
Code of Ethics bill before the House on its third reading.
“As a lawyer, I really would,like to know what I can do
and cannot do,” he said. Although he would rather see a
stronger bill, he’s satisfied that this bill is the most practi
cal, in terms of passage.
Talking of unlimited sessions, the majority leader
said, “I don’t think the legislature shoud adjourn itself.”
He would like to see the legislative session end by July 1.
But the legislators should be active all the time, he said.
Aid to parochial schools will be a “very controversial
issue” this session, Donaldson said. The Majority leader of
the House spoke at a press conference at the Downtowner
Motor Inn.
The finals for the College Bowl will be
held Friday, Feb. 23rd, when plaques will
be awarded to the winning team and the
first and second runners-up.

A drive for the planned community
center for the residents of State College
will be the philanthropic project for “Greek
Week—’6B,”- DiOrio announced yesterday.
Next Tuesday has been designated as the
day for the drive.
DiOrio said that since civic groups of
the area have been discussing the idea of a
community center for some time, the Greek
Week Committee felt that helping to raise
funds for the center would benefit this
cause.
He said that the civic groups, town mer
chants, sororities and fraternities will be
approached for their contributions for the
center. Student booths will be set up at the
foot of the Mall and on the ground floor of
the HUB for any students desiring to donate.
“I certainly hope that the entire student
body as well as Greek organizations will
back us in this project. 'A community cen
ter for this area has long been the topic
for discussion. I hope that our efforts in
“Greek Week—’6B” will help it to become
a reality,” said the Greek Week Co-Chair
man.
