Czechoslovakian Official Defects to U.S.
WASHINGTON The State Department announced
yesterday the defection to the United States of Maj. Gen.
Jar Sejna of Czechoslovakia, with his son and the son's
fiancee.
Sejna, 40, is believed to be the highest ranking Soviet
bloc officer ever to cross over to the West.
While U.S. authorities kept tight secrecy on details,
there were indications that Sejna fled from Prague last
week a step ahead of a purge planned by the new Czech
Communist leadership.
Sejna was a member of the Czech General Staff and of
the National Assembly Prehidium and chief of the Com
munist Party Central Committee in Czechoslovakia's de
fense ministry.
Shortly before he disappeared from Prague Feb. 25,
his committee came under political attack by the new
ruling faction which replaced conservative Antonin Nov
otny with Alexander Dubcek as the country's Communist
party leader last January.
No Survivors in Guadeloupe Plane Crash
POINTE-A-PITRE, Guadeloupe Rescue 'crews found
the scorched silver fuselage of Air France's newest Boeing
707 jet imbedded in the slopes of a dormant volcano yes
terday and reported no survivors among the 63 persons on
board, including the wife of real estate millionaire William
Zeckendorf.
The $B-million craft, put into service Jan. 26, plunged
Tuesday night into Matouba Mountain, a lower peak of
the 3,937 foot La Soufriere volcano on Basse-Terre, one of
the two main islands which make up this French West
Indies territory. Witnesses said a bright flash and an
earsplitting explosion followed impact.
Search teams, guided by French soldiers and heli
copters of the Gendarmarie Nationale, cut through thick
jungle to reach the crash site. They found sheared metal,
scattered clothing and dismembered bodies.
The crash occurred as the jet headed over Basse-Terre
on its approach pattern for Pointe-a-Pitre's Le Raizet Air
port.
Warsaw Pact Nations Open Conference
SOFIA, Bulgaria Leaders of the Warsaw Pact na
tions opened a summit conference yesterday and Romanian
opposition to Soviet policies was expected to produce
some fireworks.
Communist sources said the two main items on the
agenda are Vietnam and the Soviet-American draft of a
treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, now un
der consideration at Geneva.
Romania assailed the treaty at the Geneva disarma
ment conference, saying it placed restrictions on small
countries and failed to limit armaments of such major
powers as the Soviet Union.
Still fresh in the minds of the Communist party and
government leaders was Romania's walkout of an inter
national meeting of Communist parties at Budapest last
week after its policies and Red China's were criticized.
Communist sources said European security could be
discussed but it might be avoided because of Romania's
refusal to go along with the other bloc members in con
demning West Germany.
Search Underway for Downed Americans
SAIGON Helicopters hunted in darknesS early to
day for 49 Americans from a U.S. Air Force C 123 transport
that Communist gunfire felled in hostile territory near
the besieged Marine combat base at Khe Sanh.
There was no immediate word of the fate of the
men-5 Air Force crewmen and 44 passengers believed to
be Marines.
Advisors from Da Nang, the U.S. Marine headquarters
110 miles southeast of Khe Sanh, said the plane—a $1 mil
lion, twin-engine propeller-driven craft with two turbojet
auxiliary engines was felled by .50-caliber machine-gun
bullets about five miles east of the base on a flight in
"pretty good" weather yesterday.
It was believed to have been inbound with supplies
and replacements for the base, where 6,000 Marines and
500 Vietnamese rangers are ringed by the vanguard of a
North Vietnamese task force estimated to total 20,000 men.
Rhodesian Hangings Arouse'Threats
LONDON Rhodesia's hanging of three black Afri
cans yesterday despite a reprieve from Queen Elizabeth II
brought threats of retaliation from Britain and condemna
tion by the United States and other nations,
Commonwealth Secretary George Thomson told a
tumultous session of the House of Commons that Britain's
attorney general, Sir Elwyn Jones, "is giving urgent con
sideration" to all the legal implications of the executions.
These implications, he told a Laborite questioner, An
drew Faulds, include proper retribution from those held
personally responsible for the executions—government offi
cials, judges, warders and the hangman.
Faulds had asked if the British authorities would seek
to punish—even with the death penalty—the "judges, offi
cers of the so-called government of Rhodesia, the warders
and the hangman."
The Nation
Ban on Transporting Explosives Adopted
WASHINGTON The Senate adopted a ban on trans
porting Molotov cocktails and other explosives for use in
riots yesterday, but killed a second proposal which its
sponsor said was aimed at Black Power militants.
Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La.), author of both proposals,
urged the Senate to adopt them if, as he put it, it wants
to do something about such militants as H. Rap Brown
and Stokely Carmichael.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) protested that Long's
proposals would mean moving directly into the creation
of a national police force,
Javits contended the states now have the police and
the laws to cope with riots.
The ban on transporting or manufacturing "in com
merce" any firearm, explosive or incendiary device for use
in civil disorders was adopted by a vote of 72 to 23.
It was made a part of the civil rights-open housing
bill on which the Senate has been working since Jan. 18.

Pittsburgh Teachers' Strike Continues
PITTSBURGH A judge got tougher yesterday and
fined 42 pickets $25 apiece for defying his ban against
picketing of schools during the Pittsburgh teachers' strike,
Judge John Hester, who had freed 16 pickets with a
reprimand Tuesday, slapped the fines on 41 striking teach
ers and one Carnegie-Mellon University student and gave
them 10 days to pay. He had the power to jail them.
Deputy sheriffs had arrested the pickets earlier in the
day. They were only a small part of the hundreds who ig
nored court orders by picketing the city's 24 junior and
senior highs and many of the 88 grade schools. But the
sheriff's office said most pickets quietly disbanded when
deputies arrived.
A spokesman for the striking Pittsburgh Federation
of Teachers, which represents 1,000 of the city's 3,000 teach
ers, said they were demonstrating for the support of the
mayor and city council in the dispute with the school

Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) = A new investigation
of corruption in the South Vietnamese govern
ment was promised yesterda - by Sen. Ernest
Gruening after disclosure of U.S. advisers' re
ports stating "grave doubts that there is any
possibility of ever achieving any responsible de
gree of honesty and integrity in Vietnamese
officialdom."
The Alaska Democrat, chairman of the
Senate foreign aid expenditures subcommittee,
said the reports show "wholesale corruption on
every level."
The adviser said in reports to the U.S.
mission in Saigon that the United States_must
initiate bold action to stamp out corruption
"and, once having started, must continue with
it."
"Vietnamese government officials are so
involved that very few have hands sufficiently
clean that they can make an immediate major
contribution," the reports said.
Corruption Widespread
He told of corruption reaching even the
now-deposed dictator general of South Vietnam
customs, Nguyen Van Loc.
Sen. Gruening said he wou

' ..H - ;:: orals. De,o‘ict Life at Penn State
Students at the University are beginning
to see the "handwriting" on the wall—and
they like it.
In this case, the "handwriting" is in the
form of a large mural depicting familiar
University scenes and personalities.
The mural is part of an unique experi
ment designed to add lustre to the plain
masonry of residence halls and recreation
lounges.
The latest in the efforts has been com
pleted by Hodges Glenn Sr., a 38-year old
graduate student in art education from
Tallahassee, Fla.
His mural in the main lounge of the
Pollock Hall here features such personalities
as Penn State football All-American Ted
Kwalick, tailback Charles Pittman, two-time
national gymnastics champion Steve Cohen,
President Eric A. Walker, and Governor
Raymond P. Shafer. Campus scenes and ac
tivities complete the mural.
Glenn produced the mural as part of a
class project starting last fall, under the
direction of Yar G. Chomicky, associate pro
fessor of art education.
"Actually, I had a lot of `help' from my
wife, Margaret, and five children who
helped me spill paints all over our base
ment," joked Glenn. "Although I've done
commercial art work before, this is my first
mural."
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1968
summon the U.S. adviser who wrote the re
ports, Gruening replied, "We'll do what is
necessary to bring the facts out."
The monthly reports to Washington and
the adviser's recommendations to the U.S.
mission in Saigon were made available to The
Associated Press on condition the adviser's
name not be used. He is chief of a 22-man
advisory team that has been working with
Vietnamese government officials for four years.
At the same time the adviser offered his
recommendations, he told his superiors in
Washington of previous problems in winning
support for get-tough proposals, and blamed
"hearts and minds purists" in the U.S. mission.
In January, he told Washington the Agency
for International Development would cut his
team to 20 persons by July 1 despite what he
called its success in stimulating increased cus
toms collections.
The adviser's recommendations for stern
U.S. measures went to "Public Administration
Ad Hoc Committee on Corruption in Vietnam"
last Nov. 29, shortly after the committee was
established by AID.
In Washington, an AID spokesman told The
Associated Press Tuesday:

Certificates of participation were also
presented to all pitAicipants last night. Miss
Clymer urged all participants who did not
receive their certficates to obtain them at
the USG office second period today or fifth
period tomorrow.
This year's college bowl involved more
than 150 people, according to Miss Clymer.
This figure includes seven faculty moder
ators.
Laurence Lattman, , professor of geo
morphology, served as moderator for last
night's championship match.
Miss Clymer announced that the name
of the winning team will be sent to the
General Electric\ College Bowl in New York.
In addition, one name from each of the di
vision winners will be included.
The Guilded Seven
Glenn is studying for an advanced de
gree which was begun under a National Art
Education Scholarship. Prior to coming to
the University, he taught for more than 10
years in the public school system in Talla
hassee, where he served as art teacher, county
art supervisor and director of the Secondary
School Remedial Program under government
sponsorship.
He is also conducting research in the
field of art education on the economically
and socially deprived children, and on meth
ods and means of improving art instruction.
The work involves a visual approach to more
effective means of stimulating creative art
teaching, and learning, through use of the
overhead-projector.
Glenn received both his bachelor of arts
and master of arts degrees in education
from Florida A & M.
His work has been so well liked here
that he has been commissioned 'to produce a
mural for the Evangelical United Brethren
Park Forest Church.
Chomicky says that the mural adds
much to student life. "With the construction
of so many on-campus residence halls, we
were beginning to find ourselves with quite
a number of empty walls to look at," he
recalled. "Then the idea hit us—why not let
our budding art students design projects to
fill up the empty wall spaces."
Ts! Study Corrupti*,
Stern Measures
"The committee never really got started.
And it's possible it won't get going.
"When you get into the business of trying
to make another government clean, .order inter
national law, you get into ti.e question of
sovereign nations."
Sen. Gruening said U.S. efforts to curb
corruption "are not effective because some of
our agencies aren't concerned about it. It's
tolerated from the top in our government."
Speaking of the South Vietnamese last Fri
day, President Johnson said in a speech at
Beaumont, Tex., "certainly, they have corrup
tion and we also have it in Boston, in New
York, in Washington and in Johnson City. Some
body is stealing something in Beaumont right
now."
The adviser told the Saigon-based AID
committee that "corruption in' Vietnam is an
ever present fact of life, permeating all eche
lons of government and society, corroding the
vitality of this nation, eroding the framework
of government, and unnecessarily prolonging
the Ivan"
"Unl,:ss it is substantially reduced on a
broad scale, and very soon at that, there are
serious doubts that this war can ever be 'won,' "

In US Drive
Representatives of the World University Service last
night asked the Association of Women Students Senate
for its help in WUS campus-wide campaign April 22-27.
Richard Noth (10th-industrial engineering -Philadel
phia) chairman of the WUS drive at the University, and
Maxine Hutchinson (7th-home economics education-Ann
vine) explained to the Senate that WUS is a non-political
charity organization whose aims are to help needy uni
versities throughout the world and to foster foreign stu
dent scholarship at individual universities. Noth said .part
of the WUS drive will be to raise funds. In the past these
funds have gone to help build a library for a university in
Africa, a student center for a school in Seoul, Korea, and a
sanatarium for students in Japan, he said.
"WUS is a non-political 'self-help' organization," Noth
said. These funds don't finance everything. The contribu
tions are by students to students," he pointed out. Ac
cording to Noth, another part of the WUS drive will be to
combat the "lack of sensitivity of students at Penn State
to other universities around the world." AWS will try to
introduce WUS to University women through a program
of speakers and films in the dormitories.
The Soul Survivors will initiate Women's Week activi
ties on Saturday, March 30 with a Rec Hall performance
as part of H.E.R. weekend (His Economic Relief). Coeds will
buy their date's ticket for the concert, which go on sale
today at two dollars a couple.
Because of a lack of funds, Author Pearl Buck will not
be the Women's Week speaker, as had been planned. An
other speaker has not yet been chosen.
The new AWS Public Relations Chairman is Susan
O'Hare (Bth-consumer services in business-Camp Hill).
The total voter turnout in this term's AWS executive
elections was 42 per cent. East Halls had the highest voting
percentage at 65 per cent.

He listed' 7 types of corruAion ranging
from "the personnel official who can't place a
qualified applicant in an open position until
a 'fee' is paid", to the "high official, and
some not so high, who arrange their govern
ment affairs so that official transactions re
dound to their personal benefit."
In battle action, the Communists shelled
16 points in the third straight day of such long
range operations, but slacked off at Khe Sanh.
• Marines there said they counted only 100
incoming rounds over a 24-hour period, a far
cry from the massive poundings which have
gone as high as 1,300 in a single day. The
U.S. Command said damage and casualties
there and elsewhere were light.
A senior U.S. officer said he believes Hue,
the old imperial capital, rather than Khe
Sanh, is the next objective of the North Viet
namese forces.
The Communists clung longest to Hue of
all the cities they attacked in their lunar new
year offensive, but were ousted by U.S. Marinas
and South Vietnamese troops after a four-week
battle. They were reported to have more than
10,000 men still deployed artund Hue, 60
