Defense officials disclosed the planned moves yester day while cautioning that the exact size of the reserve mobilization could vary up or down depending on Pentagon studies now under way. The first impact will come tomorrow when the Penta gon is due to order up perhaps 15,000 reservists, mostly Y. Several thousand are needed in Vietnam to provide support for combat units which were rushed to South Vietnam in Febrtiary following_the Communists' Tet holi day offensive. In addition, Gen. William C. Westmoreland has asked that one' of the units which was flown to Vietnam during the emergency buildup the 27th Marine Regimental Landing Team be replaced by Army troops. A few thousand new troops some regular, some reserve will be exchanged for the Marines, officials said. New Troop Ceiling • President Johnson announced Sunday night that an additional 13,500 men would be needed for the war, rais ing the over-all U.S. commitment to 549,000 in coming months. The previously announced authorized level was 525,000 and abbut 511,000 are there now. In future weeks or months, officials said, there will be a" further call-up" of reserves, expected not to exceed 50,000, to help restore the 'nation's Strategic Reserve Force, an active-duty combat aggregation kept in the United States to meet emergencies in remote areas. Officials were not more specific as to the possible size of this last call-up but indications were the military would like a division-size force roughly 45,000 to rebuild the Strategic Reserve. force. On other war matters, these officials who declined to be named said: • •President Johnson's ordered halt to the bombing of much of North Vietnam has no time limit. The President is leaving it up to Hanoi as to how the enemy will respond to the peace bid. is The Joint Chiefs of Staff as a group support the President's no-bombing decree, but officials declined to discuss the Chiefs individual recommendation. At least one JCS member is known to have favored widening, rather than restricting, the air raids. •The Air -Force F-lilA fighter has been grounded in Thailand following the' loss of two of the $6-million jets which only recently arrived there for combat. A.team of experts has been,sent to see what the problem is. Johnson Withdrawal Hel McCarthyites Plan Intensified Action By BILL MEIN Collegian Staff Writer Encouraged by Pres i d e n t Johnson's decision not to run for the presidency, Students For McCarthy said yesterday that they will work even more vigorously to win the nomina tion for Senatory McCarthy. The McCarthy organization, which recruited more than 700 volunteers during the registra tion period, was able to can vass 4,500 vo.t.rs•in Clearfield, Lock Haven, Bellefonte, Ty rone and Renova in an effort to inform the voters about Mc- Carthy's campaign. Johnson's withdrawal from the race has generated more interest in McCarthy's cam paign, according to Alfred Di- Bernardo (graduate - political science-State College), chair man of Students For McCarthy. "If today is any indication of the future, we will have good support. More people have vol unteered today (Monday) than we have ever had before," Di- Bernardo said. Strong student support for McCarthy is not unique to the University, According to Thom as Irwin, state chairman of Students For McCarthy, the support for the senator on Pennsylvania's campus is growing continually. "We hope to have 'l,OOO stu dents from Pennsylvania to U.S. Planes Bomb Enemy Supply Lines SAIGON The Viet Cong shelled Saigon's Tan Son Nhut airport early today, the first attack on the big military-civilian complex since President Johnson ordered bombing of North Vietnam curtailed. South Vietnam's biggest oil tank farm, at Nha Be six miles south, of the capital, was shelled for the second straight day, the U.S. Command reported. Military reports indicated that the attack on Tan Son Nhut on the western edge of the capital was minor. Spokes men said more than two rockets fired into the base caused very light damage. The airport had last been hit March 21, when 25 recoiless rifle rounds damaged a few planes.. The attack on the Nha Be tank farm appeared heavier, although a spokesman said he had no details of damage. Shell and Esso oil companies have installations at Nha Be and a military facility is nearby. Economists Encouraged by Gold Stability NEW YORK Light trading and a relatively stable price at the reopening of the London gold market yes terday encouraged economists here about the future of the two-tier price system. The price per ounce of gold fluctuated between $37.70 and $3B. Dealers said business was light. "I think it's a very . favorable sign," said Dr. Roy L. Reierson, chief economist at Bankers Trust Co. in New York. "Obviously, one day isn't significant, but if the free market price is kept within 10 per cent of the monetary price, the two-price system could continue for some time," Reierson said.

In addition, we anticipate a large influx of students from other states after the Wisconsin pri mary," Irwin said. Irwin called the University chapter for Students For Mc- Carthy one of the best student groups in the state and added, "They took the initiative and have kept the ball rolling." The Students For McCarthy group does not see the -Demo cratic race as a easy victory. "We are waging a positive campaign, trying to elect a man who does what he says," Dißernardo said. Everyone does not agree with Dißernardo, however. Ahmed Sheikh, professor of political science, who previously said that Johnson had split the Democratic party commented, "If the President really wants to reunite -the Democratic par ty, he should support Robert Kennedy." "Kennedy is the best man that the Democratic narty can offer no-v. and the only man who can defeat Richard Nix on," Sheikh said. Why did President Johnson decide not to run? Sheikh ex plained, "President Johnson is a man of honor and in tegrity. He knew th he had lost the consensus of the peo ple." News from the World, Nation 10 Pages ROBERT E. KENNEDY `Mirk . Together' RFK Reaffirms Stand; Plans To See Johnson • NEW YORK (AP) A sol emn Sen. Robert F. Kennedy Said yesterday he has asked President Johnson for an early meeting to discuss "how we might work together in the in terest of national unity." The New York Democrat be came a likely front-runner for his party's presidential nomina tion when Johnson stunned the world Sunday night by an nouncing he will not seek -re nomination. Two weeks ag o Kennedy opened what was then his chal lenge to Johnson by charging the President with responsi bility for disunity and divisive ness in the United States. But the tone was different yesterday as Kennedy told a crowded news . conference : ,and a nationwide radio:television —audience: w- ~" "The President's action re- flects both courage and gener osity of spirit." Then he took to the campaign trail again by a busy tour of shopping centers in Philadel phia. Concealed Jubilance If he was jubilant about the apparent elimination of his main stumbling block , to the nomination, Kennedy concealed it carefully it. his half-hour ap pearance. And he has cause for concern. He must ponder what his stand will be if Johnson's de escalation, which Kennedy has advocated, fails—or what the Democratic National Conven tion will do if the peace steps works. His expression was serious as Drop-Add Changed New regulations for the drop-add period will go into effect-this term. Next Wednesday will be the last day that a student may add a course and April 22 is the last day a student may drop a course. Recent legislation by the University Senate has changed the deadline by which students must drop and add courses. The new legislation specifies that a student may not add a course after the first ten calendar days of the Spring Term. The legislation also specifies that a student may drop a course only during the first 21 calendar days of the Spring Term. When a student drops a course within the 21 day period no grade of any kind will be recorded on his tran script. The new Senate legislation, however, specifies that a grade of "W" will -be recorded on the transcripts if for any reason a student drops a course after the 21 day period. ,wfrom the associated press March 17 to continue settling official accounts at a mone tary price of $35 an ounce for, gold. MILWAUKEE, Wis. Wisconsin citizens log the first voter reaction to President Johnson's surprise decision not to run again in a primary today that might give Sen. Eu gene J. McCarthy (D-Minn.), 57 votes toward the Demo cratic nomination. The extent of a . vote of confidence in a President who decelerated the U.S. military effort in Vietnam while an nouncing he plans to retire next year could affect not only McCarthy's standing but the fortunes of former Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Johnson's name remains on the ballot and Rep. Clem ent Zablocki, head of the President's campaign forces in Wisconsin, urged an "overwhelming" vote for Johnson to avoid the appearance of repudiation of the latter's new course. * * * fA LBJ's Withdrawal May Help Pa.
