VOL. 68, No. 75 from the associated • ' sT- News Roundup: From the State, Nation & World ' The World Marines Close In On V.C. In Hue SAIGON U.S. Marines edged 200 yards to break into Communist • positions within Hue's walled Citadel yesterday, behind a curtain of bombs and shells laid down by jet fighters, Navy guns and land-based artillery. Correspondent Lewis M. Simons reported from the scene that a battalion of nearly 1,000 U.S. Marines made the 200-yard advance inside the Citadel's southeast wall. They seized one stone tower, drove out the North Viet namese troops there, and then moved on beyond that strong point. Presumably the allied forces, after eliminating enemy pockets in .the walls, will seek to draw tight the noose on the Communist force in the center. Suspecting that some Communist soldiers were try ing to flee the hotspot sector disguised as civilians, South Vietnamese troops cut the one link across the Perfume River by which refugees were moving to the compara tive safety of the south side. U.S. Bombs Miss Target Near Saigon SAIGON More than 40 persons were killed Tues day when high-flying 852 Stratofortresses mistakenly dropped 50 tons of bombs outside a target zone only 10.5 miles north of Saigon, the U.S. Air Force announced yesterday. The spokesnian said 42 to 44 persons died and from 57 to 59 were injured in the raid that was the closest to Saigon in the war. It was the first such error attributed to the B-52s that usually execute their high-altitude satu ration raids in less populous areas. The Air Force did not indicate who the killed and injured were. Other reports said women and children were among them and it was presumed the casualties included civilians. The target was a suspected concentration of Commu nist troops alongside the Saigon River. Clearance for the raid had come from the Vietnamese commander of the Saigon military district and the deputy senior American adviser for the 3rd Corps area. The Nation Labor Leaders Say Laws Unfair MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Millions of public workers ranging from garbage' men to school teachers are at the mercy - of "bungling bureaucrats" and "antilabor" politi cians because of punitive state labor laws, union leaders charged yesterday. AFL-CIO Vice President Paul Hall described as "ab solutely appalling" the New York garbage negotiations in volving Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Mayor John V. Lindsay; Rockefeller—and- Lindsay—are. Republicans. But "the Republicans do not have a claim to all the stupidity" Hall said. "This is equally true of many cities and many states" run by both Democratic and GOP political administrations, he added. "There is not a single state in the whole 50 where public employes have the right to strike," said Robert D. Bollard, legislative director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes. Fowler Rejects Surcharge Alternative WASHINGTON A congressional alternative to the administration's 10 per cent tax surcharge got a cold shoulder yesterday from Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler, Fowler said higher taxes are needed now to halt in flation and prevent an eventual recession. The Treasury chief testified before the Senate-House Economic Committee as the government reported the first decline in industrial output in four months during January and a slowdown in personal income gains. Fowler, however, said the economy is in "grave dan ger of excessive overheating." The Commerce Department also pinpointed the international dollar drain last year at $3.57 billion, the laregst since 1960, and blamed the deterioration on a peer trade picture and devaluation of the British 'pound. Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., committee chairman and surcharge oppcinent, suggested a compromise on taxes which included a substantial cut in the budget and a 5 per cent surcharge on corporations—none on indi viduals. The State Dent Begins Campaign To Unseat Clark GREENSBURG, Pa. Rep. John H. Dent turned aside yesterday a party leader's request that he withdraw from the Democratic Primary and launched his campaign to un seat Sen. Joseph S. Clark. Pittsburgh Mayor Joseph M. Barr said he would ask Dent to withdraw so the party could avoid a primary fight. Dent said at a news conference launching his cam paign that Barr had called, but without success. "I have every intention of pursuing this goal"until the people decide," said Dent. Then Dent turned to what he has said would be the chief target of his campaign Clark's criticism of the Vietnam war. "He condemns our nation's efforts in Vietnam to aid people living in Vietnam and has been a constant and tor tuous critic of the President in this regard—which has un questionably given aid and comfort to the enemy," said Dent. Con Co n Revamps Allegheny County Court HARRISBURG—The Constitutional Convention adopt ed an amendment yesterday that would abolish the minor judiciary system in Allegheny County, replacing it with a community .. court. The amendment, introduced by delegate Henry E. Rea Jr. of Allegheny County, was passed after extensive and heated debate by a 69-64 vote. Under the Judiciary Committee's original court re form plan, voters in Allegheny County, would have been permitted to decide by a local option election whether they wanted to retain justices of the peace and aldermen, or replace them with a community court. As the proposal now stands, voters in all counties except Philadelphia and Allegheny will be given this option. The amendment was strongly opposed by delegates John J. Redick and John A. Conley, both of Allegheny County, who argued that voters in their county should be given the right to decide for themselves which system they wanted. viail, 2 Zrzl=„r,\M=Xl7o.M7=4r,V.l r"k',V.5'';,„. , v7. , „1 • ... -Wn t t Insid e A .„. ~..1 YOUNG RASCALS PAGE 3 VIETNAM PEACE?

The Americans dove for cover. "Corpsman! Corpsman!" The shout came from off to the right. "We've got wounded here!" "Corpsman! Corpsman!" The, shouts now came from the distance. You could see the men dragging a bleeding buddy toward cover. Inside the bunkers the Marines hugged their legs and bowed their heads, uncon sciously trying to make themselves as small as possible. The tempo of the shelling in creased and the small opening to the bunker seemed in their minds to grow to the size of a barn door. The 5,000 sandbags around and over the bunker seemed wafer thin. Although it could increase their chances of survival only minutely, men shifted their positions to get closer to the ground. Some measured the an- , le to the door way and tried to wig: dr, more behind those next to them. There were no pra.t.* uttered aloud.

Lattman said that past Ad ministrators have made studies of the book-buying situation, only to conclude that a bookstore would cost "a great deal of money." Asks for Evidence "If the University can demon strate with actual figures that would cost too much, it should do so," said Lattman. "If it can't do so, it should start a bookstore," Lattman said that the book store "is a perennial question; it's cyclic, and the administration is probably waiting for spring, ex pecting that when other things come up it will blow over again." Lattman said that he doubts the bookstore will come from the Parade Week Two men growled a stream of profanity at the North Vietnamese gunners who might snuff 'out their lives at any moment.

The incoming rounds could hardly be noticed once the barrage stopped, such is the desola tion. And then the shells did stop. Silent men turned their faces from one to the Other. Several men scrambled out of the bunker to see if more dead or wounded men from their unit were outside. Medics scurried through the area, crouching low.

He said that it could be a small corporation, much on the order of The Daily Collegian organization. "It is a risk, but it can start small and build up," Lattman said. "It can order say, 3,000 books to begin with, and add op from there." Fear of Merchants Lattman said that there is no reason for the University to "be afraid of the downtown mer chants." He said that "competi tion will still exist; no one will be forced to deal at the University bookstore."

In response to the report by the Commission, Professor of Botany Walter Westerfeld sent a letter to Gerson expressing sup port ,of the store idea. Westerfeld said that he ap proved of the plan, and asked what the faculty could do to help the project. When asked for further com ment, Westerfeld said it is "ridic ulous" that the University lacks such an enterprise. "Every decent university has one," he said.

By BETH GOLDER Collegian Staff Writer Ambassador Arthur Goldschmidt will speak at the opening session of the Model United Nations on Thursday, Feb, 22. He has been the U.S. Representative on the Economic and Social Council of the U.N. for a year. In the past 16 years Ambassador Gold schmidt has held a variety of positions on the staff of the U.N. He began as a 4irector in the Technical Assistance Administration and has been Senior Director for Special Fund Operations of the Department of Eco nomic and Social Affairs for the past six years. He also spent a year as Director of the National Resources and Industries team in Iran and was Director of the Bureau of Tech nical Assistance Operations. Father of PSU Prof Ambassador Goldschmidt's son, Arthur, Jr., is an assistant professor of history at the University. Along with naming their speaker, Model U.N. officials announced the schedulewhich will be followed by the 55 delegations from the University, State • College 'High School, and, Commonwealth Campuses. The opening session at 8:30 p.m. next Thursday will be a plenary session, with all delegations attending. The political sci ence department will sponsor a dinner in honor of Ambassador Goldschmidt at the Nittany Lion that night. On Friday there will be committee meetings from 7 to 10 p.m., and there will be an continuation of these meetings all day Saturday. The plenary session to conclude this year's Model U.N. will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday in Schwab. To Settle Major Issues The Model General Assembly will dis cuss and vote on settlement of the Arab- Israeli conflict, the admission of China to membership_ and the enforcement of the Covenant on Human Rights. The last topic is scheduled in observance of 1968 as the International Human Relations year. The Model Security Council will discuss methods of enforcement of sanctions against USG Approves Bill Calling For Constitutional Revision By DENNIS STIMELING Collegian Staff Writer The undergrauuate Student Government gave its approval last night to a bill calling for constitutional revision of the student congress. As a result, a committee will be established to investigate the structure of USG and recommend changes in its function and powers. After debate between the bill's sponsors and its opponents over who should serve on the committee and who should be its chairman, an amended bill was accepted. The bill now provides that the chairman of the committee shall be a person who has served on USG for the last two terms and will be available to serve during spring term. The original version provided that in a Bunker MEM= pasteboards again. The shelling wasn't worth discussing.. It was too commonplace and none from Bravo Company had been hit this time. Like jungle rot, snipers and rats, artillery fire was some thing to be hated and accepted at the same time. But the shellfire had taken its toll. Minutes before the barrage opened, Army Spec. 4 William Hankinson had drifted off from the other members of his communica tions team assigned to this Marine base. When the first shell hit, he dived into a Marine bunker. After the explosions stopped, he talked with the Marines awhile before starting back to his bunker. A white-faced Leatherneck joined the group. "You look kind of sick," a Marine buddy said. "What happened?" "The whole Army bunker got wiped out," he replied. "Jesus what a mess." One dud mortar round was half-buried in the runway of the airstrip. Planes carrying priority-supplies had to be waved off until the round could be removed: Asks for Petition Father of PSU Prof South Africa for administering South-West Africa illegally, rather than under the Unit= ed Nations Trusteeship Council. Model U.N. President Mark Taxel em phasized the value of the Model U.N. in giving students "a real knowledge of how the U.N. works" and in letting students "get to see the world in a different light," by playing the role of a different country. A biographical sketch of opening ses sion speaker, Ambassador Goldschmidt, says he has gone to a majority of the develop ing countries of Asia, the Middle East, Afri ca and Latin America through his work with the U.N. He worked for the U.S. governMent from 1933 to. 1950, beginning with the then newly formed Federal Relief Administration and. acting as Director of the Division of Power of the Department of the Interior from 1944 to 1950. the chairman would be the Vice-president of USG. The committee will be re sponsible for reporting to the Congress weekly, until submit ting its final report of recom mendations. Any member of the committee whose tenure on USG expires while the commit tee is Still in existence will re main serving. A bill expressing USG sup port. for a progra.,. to aid stu dents in criminal or civil cases who are unable to pay their bail was amended to remove the implied support of USG from the program The Legal Awareness Committee will now investigate the problem and at tempt to formulate - a program that the congress will support. Legal awareness chairman Two demolition experts raced from shelter with fire axes and chopped it out of. the aluminum sheet runway. Neither would give his name. Both had told their families they were safely out of the war zone. "An awful lot of Marines are big liars on that point," one said. The men of No. 2 gun, Charlie Battery didn't think of cover when the shelling began. After what they had been through when the main ammunition dump 200 yards away ex ploded during an earlier barrage, "This is coasting," one gunner said. And alone of the Marines at Khe Sanh, the artillery could fire back at the enemy. No. 2 gun, commanded by Cpl. Anthony Albo, kept pouring out 105 mm rounds even though a shell splinter had started a fire in the gun's ready. ammo bunker. At Charlie Med, the main casualty clear ing station, wounded were coming in. Some were on stretchers, some hobbled by them selves, some were hauled in across the shoulder of a comrade. Unjust Criticism ---See Page 2 signatures in support of the plan. Referring again to the exist ence of stores on other campuses, Westerfeld said that "every place I've ever been they've had this." The professor said that as far west as Texas he has seen bookstores operating successfully, singly or combined with school supply and souvenir facilities. He suggested a possible bookstore of this sort, combining books with local area souvenirs. Charles Lewis, vice president for student affairs, said this week that he doubts if administrative action is iimminent on the propo sal, and that he disagreed with several of USG's contentions, namely that the store would be self-supporting, and would be of financial assistance to the stu dents. A New World View AMB. ARTHUR GOLDSCHMIDT Selected as Model U.N. Speaker Jim Womer expressed his opinion of the congressional amendments to the bill. He said that "this is a major step backward for this student gov ernment. It is an indication that USG does not want to help students who get into trouble downtown." Students in Tiouble Dan Clements, Chief Justice of the USG Supreme Court, said, "It is not a responsibility of this student government to post bail for kies who get thrown in jail by police." In response to a call by sev eral Congressmen for a student referendum on the boy ering of the voting age in this state, a bill introduced by Jeff Long asking for such a USG resolu tion was withdrawn. One prayed, a few cried, some were un conscious. Many showed shock on their faces. SEVEN CENTS
