By BRUCE RANDALL
Collegian Staff Writer
Purebred horses, beef cattle, sheep and
swine will be shown and judged beginning at
8 a.m..Saturday at the Ice Pavilion. The oc
casion is the 51st Little International Live
stock Exposition.
This event, sponsored by the students of
the Penn State Block and Bridle Club, will
be open to the public.
The show will provide an opportunity
for any student,. with og without.expertence.
interested in animal husbandry to work with
Penn State's prize-winning purebred live
stock. More than 120 students from various
curriculums will participate this year.
The students, all volunteers, have been
working with their animals, which were
chosen by lots from the University herds and
flocks, since the first week of this term. The
students and animals will compete for more
than 50 awards in fitting and showmanship.
According to Glenn R. Kean, advisor of the
Block and Bridle Club, "The experience and
fellowship gained is invaluable,. although no
course credit is offered for the event."
The Little International is patterned
after the famous Chicago International Live
stock Exposition. The basic difference is that
here the students are judged on their ability
to groom and show the animal rather than
on the animal's merit.
Students Hard at Work
John Frey, publicity chairman, said the
students have been scrubbing, clipping, and
trimming the hooves of their animals for one
month. They have also taught the animals
how to stride out and to stand for the judges'
inspection. Frey explained that the first ob
jective of the students is to spend much time
with the livestock. This enables the animal , :
to become accustomed to the students and
overcome their natural nervousness.
Program Plans
The students have worked long and hard,
enduring many frustrations, in preparation
for having their efforts evaluated in only a,
few minutes in the show ring. The awards
they hope to receive are contributed by Penn
sylvania agricultural industries, University
organizations and professors and individuals
interested in promoting Pennsylvania live
stock.
The program of events will be: sheep
and swine show at 8 a.m., beef cattle at 10,
intermission for lunch, quarterhorses at 1
p.m., meat raffle at 4 and a banquet at 6:30.
The banquet, which will be held in the
Hetzol Union Building, will honor the win-
Reds' Unity Conference Lacks Delegates
BUDAPEST A preparatory unity conference of
Communist parties opened yesterday in a sealed-off hotel
with barely half the 88 delegations invited showing up.
Many of the absentees said the meeting's only purpose was
to entrench Soviet dominance over the world's Marxist
parties.
The stay at homes 49 by unofficial count included
Red China and Albania, critics of the Soviet Union from
the far left, and Yugoslavia and Romania, both ,to the
right of Moscow. Cuba was reported missing as were North
Vietnam, North Korea and other Asian parties.
The 10 or 12 days of scheduled discussions are to
decide on an exact date in November or December for a
conference in Moscow to "promote the cohesion of all
anti-imperialistic forces," and according to Yugoslav re
ports, draft a document on Vietnam and a peace appeal.
The last big party meeting in Budapest, Feb. 26 - March
5, was the stage for a Romanian walkout and open break
with Moscow. Sixty parties were in attendance at that
session.
Six Week Allied Push Kills 2,000
SAIGON Intensive allied operations in the Mekong
Delta have killed 1,943 enemy troops in the past six weeks
and have flushed newly equipped North Vietnamese reg
ulars, U.S. officers said yesterday.
Troops from the U.S. 9th Division and South Vietna
mese marines and soldiers ran into a Viet Cong force. In a
day-long battle, 56 Viet Cong were killed, the U.S. Com
mand reported. It , said 15 Americans were wounded and
South Vietnamese casualties were light.
U.S. artillery mounted on barges in the delta's water
ways supported the action.

ners of the show; awards be presented
at this time. Tickets for the banquet may be
purchased in 202 Armsby.
This year the show is dedicated to Her
man R. Purdy, co-coach of the University
liyestick judging team. Purdy, also in charge
of pedigreed livestock at the University, is
considered one of the most popular beef
cattle judges in the nation. He also teaches
beef cattle management and advanced judg
ing courses here.
Frey described the procedures used to
prepare_ thq. animals for, showing. The beef
cattle are Washed "three times, then :brifShedt
and combed until their hair stands up. The
hair on their heads 'and tails is clipped. On
show day, they are rubbed with hair oil.
Butch wax is applied to their legs, which
are combed to make the hair stand up. Their
feet are polished or painted according to the
color of their hooves.
Sheep are washed only once, since it
takes weeks for ti.e wool to dry completely,
and covered with a blanket. Their wool is
also clipped to give the animals an ideal
shape.
Swine are washed two or three times.
Hair on their ears and tails is clipped. On
show day the white pigs are powdered with
talcum while the black ones are prettied up
with hair oil. Horses, which are very diffi
cult to keep clean, receive only one beauty
treatment. They are just brushed until their
hair shines.
Exposition Personnel
The distinguished alumnus award this
year went to John G. Auld. Since his grad
uation from the University in 1940, he has

in animal science as well as an enthusiastic
supporter of the University's department of
animal science.
The judges are: sheep, Bill Sipple, Uni
versity graduate who teaches agricultural
extension here; swine, Henry Freter, a di
rector of the Delaware Pork Producers; beef,
Edward Rishel, Jr., an alumnus who is man
ager of Sayre Farms in Phelps, N.Y.; and
horse, Bob Kimble, another alumnus who is
director of the meat animal evaluation center
of the State Department of Agriculture.
Students assisting with the preparation
of the show are: David Coble, show manager;
Mark Stehr, assistant show manager and
swine superintendent; Richard Byerly, cata
log editor; William Keck, assistant catalog
director; John Frey, publicity chairman;
Jared Tyson, meat raffle chairman; Richard

Firearms Control Voted Into Anticrime Bill
WASHINGTON The Senate Judiciary Committee
voted yesterday to cement into a broad anticrime bill a
section providing tougher federal controls over firearms
sales.
But, contrary to President Johnson's recommendations,
the new restrictions would not prohibit interstate mail or
der sales of rifles and shotguns to individuals.
However, they would ban such sales of other fire
arms, including concealable weapons ,like pistols and re
volvers.
There also would be an outright ban on sales to per
sons under 21 gears of age.
The bill would make it unlawful for any person other
than a licensed dealer to transport or receive in his state
of residence any firearm other than a rifle or shotgun pur
chased or otherwise obtained outside his state.
This prohibition is extended to a rifle or shotgun if
the purchase of such a weapon would be unlawful in the
state where the person resides.
NEW YORK -- Columbia University's campus was all
but sealed off yesterday, after several hundred rampaging
student demonstrators seized control of two buildings.
They held three school officials behind makeshift barri
cades for 4 hours, and wrecked the office of President
Grayson Kirk.
Night classes were cancelled, the 70 buildings locked
and all but two campus entrances closed, amid reports
that Harlem Negroes planned to join student sit-ins in the
two buildings.

WASHINGTON (W) The United States
has sent another message to North Vietnam
in the still-unsuccessful effort to achieve
agreement on a site for preliminary peace
talks, the State Departinent disclosed yester
day.
It was understood that the new U.S. mes
sage went to Hanoi Monday and amounted to
a diplomatic prod to the Reds to respond to
earlier U.S. offers of any of its list of 15 Asian
and European capitals as a meeting place.
It was the fifth such communication
from Washington to Hanoi announced since
the opposing sides publicly declared three
weeks ago their willingness to enter into
direct talks. Since then they have been spar
ring over whe're their envoys should meet.
No Official Message

U.S. Sends New Message to Hanoi
As 500 other students gathered in a rainy spring dusk
to heckle the demonstrators and throw eggs, Associate
Dean Alexander B. Platt urged them to disperse. He told
them: "If you try to handle this yourselves there will be
violence and we can't afford violence at this time. We
can't afford violence at all."
During two days of disorder and vandalism, the dem
onstrators polarized into two groups—Negroes protesting
a new university gymnasium, and whites opposed to the

Students from other universities in the city were said

Advance Shocks Felt For A-Bomb Test
LAS VEGAS, Nev. The mightiest nuclear blast to
be fired in the United States is set for tomorrow and the
federal government is 'feeling shock waves in advance.
Protests against possible 'danger or damage have come
from citizens, scientists, labor leaders, peace groups and
from the organization of Nevada's biggest spender, billion
aire Howard Hughes.
The test of a hydrogen device will pack the wallop
of one million tons of TNT or more and is expected to - be
felt, earthquake style, for 250 miles or more.
The Atomic Energy Commission says no damage is
expected from Friday's test. It is set for 6 a.m. in a cham
ber 3,800 feet under Pahute Mesa at the Nevada Test Site
100 miles northwest.
The AEC' said it will evacuate buildings near the site
and close a few roads 'as a precautionary measure. If the
test causes no damage, a spokesman said, even larger ones
may follow. The Friday test has been termed essential to
weapons development.

from Hanoi on the subject, dated April 11.
That proposed Warsaw as a meeting location.
The first North Vietnamese offer, on April 8,
suggested Phnom Penh.
The United States has objected to both
Warsaw and Phnom Penh on various grounds.
It wants the talks to be held in a neutral
country where there are adequate communi
cations and the parties involved in the Viet
nam conflict have diplomatic accreditation.
Paris Likely Spot
The State Department spokesman's re
marks appeared to be a follow-up to PreSident
Johnson's statement at a diplomatic reception
Tuesday—not further explained at the time—
that the United States had been in touch with
Hanoi again. The message was reportedly
routed through Vientiane, the Laotian capi
tal where both sides have embassies.
Asian diplomatic soui-ces see Paris as the
likeliest spot for the two sides to agree on.
Neither the United States nor North Vietnam
-has proposed the French capital as a site so
far—and neither has rejected it.

Shafer To Lead Delegation
HARRISBURG (A') Gov. Shafer said
yesterday he still planned to lead an 'un
committed delegation to the Republican Na
tional Convention' despite - the impressive
showing of former Vice President Richard
M. Nixon in the Pennsylvania presidential
preference primary.
"Dick Nixon did receive the most write
in votes," Shafer acknowledged, but the gov
ernor quickly noted that Nixon currently is
the only announced candidate for the GOP
presidential nomination.
Shafer, speaking at a news conference,
discounted the write-ins cast for Nixon and
others as representing only "pocket of sup
port" and not a general consensus of Re
publicans statewide,
Shafer's Plans Unchanged
"I don't believe the result was par
ticularly significant in the over-all situa
tion," Shafer said, adding that his plans to
be a "favorite son" in order to hold the dele
gation together were not altered by the pri
mary.

State Republicans Retain Control
HARRISBURG House Republicans have retained
political control of the chamber for the balance of 1968
with the task for the GOP leadership now one of making
the slim majority work on major party issues.
An apparent split with the minority Democrats in
six special elections Tuesday boosted a Republican strength
in the 203-man House to 104, only two votes more than
the 102 it takes to pass legislation on straight party lines.
But the six-month battle over Gov. Shafer's $266
million tax program last year, when the GOP also started
out with a 104-99 margin, demonstrated the slight constitu:-
tional adVantage is not necessarily workable.
Two staunch Republican holdouts, coupled with ill
nesses, absences and solid Democratic opposition, stymied
the fiscal affairs of the Commonwealth for half a year.
Voters Approve Constitution Proposals
PHILADELPHIA Pennsylvania's voters, who other
wise displayed widespread apathy toward the primary
election, overwhelmingly approved Tuesday five proposals
designed to modernize . the state's constitution.
Gov. Shafer immediately called the election outcome
the "most significant long-range achievement for Pennsyl
vania in this century."
Shafer, .who made constitutional revision the No. 1
goal of his administration when he took office 15 months
ago, held a news conference in Harrisburg yesterday morn
ing to discuss the primary.
All five of the proposals for updating the state's 94-
year-old basic charter were adopted by impressive mar
gins although two of the questions faced stiff opposition
in some areas.
The governor also said that he would soon appoint a
special commission to make recommendations on how the
legislature should go about implementing the constitutional
proposals that require legislation.

McCloskey reaffirmed that at this stage
