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.

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.

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.

USG Bookstore Proposal
By KITTY PHILBIN
Collegian USG Reporter
Two University professors
sided yesterday with the Under
graduate Student
. Government in
its fight for a University-operated
bookstore on campus. One even
suggested that USG start its own
bookstore if the Administration
refuses to do so.
Laurence Lattman, professor
of 'geomorphology, said that "the
University owes its ,students a
bookstore."
Lattman commented on a
letter sent to the Administration
last week by USG's Administra
tive Action Committee.
The letter cited alleged book
shortages and high prices in
downtown stores, and called for
the establishment of a University-

Life—and Death
KHE SANH, Vietnam (iP) The first
shell burst caught the Marines outside the
bunkers filling sandbags. More exploding
rockets sent showers of hot fragments zing
ing. 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

to conclude that a bookstore
would cost "a great deal of
money."

"If the University can demon

do so," said Lattman. "If it can't
do so, it should start a bookstore,"
Lattman said that the book

probably waiting for spring, ex
pecting that when other things
come up it will blow over again."

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

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:

Two demolition experts raced from
shelter with fire axes and chopped it out of.

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.

kept pouring out 105 mm rounds even though
a shell splinter had started a fire in the gun's

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

namely that the store would be
self-supporting, and would be of
financial assistance to the stu
