Enemy Atrocities in Hue Discovered
SAIGON Enemy troops executed more than 1,000
persons, burying some alive and shooting or beheading
others, while they occupied Hue in February, the U.S.
Embassy reported yesterday.
Most of the victims were South Vietnamese, but they
also included two French priests, three South Koreans and
a Hong Kong Chinese who was a British subject. the em
bassy said.
There have been piecemeal reports of the slaughter of
civilians while the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong oc
cupied the old imperial capital during the Tet offensive,
but this was the first time any officials gave an over-all
picture.
An embassy spokesman said it took two months to
compile the reports from allied sources and South Viet
namese police because officials wanted to be sure of
accuracy.
"Many had been shot, some beheaded," said the em
bassy report. "A number of bodies showed signs of mutila
tion. Most were found with hands bound behind their
backs." -

Allies Squeeze V.C. in A Sbau Valley
SAIGON South Vietnamese troops have swept into
the southern part of A Shau Valley as U.S. air cavalrymen
fight down from the north, tightening the squeeze on that
North Vietnamese stronghold, U.S. officers reported yes
terday.
Slightly lifting security wraps on the operation that
opened April 19, officers in Da Nang on the coast 50 miles
east of the valley said the South Vietnamese ran into light
resistance on entering Monday.
Troops of the U.S. Ist Air Cavalry Division reported
little opposition in the first three days of the operation, but
security has prevented any report on their progress since.
The lack of resistance indicated that the main North
Vietnamese force has not yet been encountered or that it
pulled out into nearby Laos in the past few weeks of re
lentless bombing by the eight-engine 852 s of the Strategic
Air Command.
Informed sources said that for the past two days, the
Stratofortresses have been pounding suspected troop con
centrations in Laos just to the west of the A Shau Valley.
Elderly Heart Transplant Patient Dies
PARIS A 66-year-old French grandfather, the oldest
man to undergo a heart transplant, , died - yesterday 51 1 / 2
hours after he received a now heart. The doctors who
grafted it said the patient's age had been a major problem.
Clovis Roblain, a retired truck driver called "Pop" by
his friends, succumbed to an insufficient flow of blood to
the brain, never regaining consciousness after a nine-hour
operation Saturday night, doctors at La Pitie Hospital said.
They had given Roblain, who suffered a cardiac attack
last year, the heart of Michel Gyppaz, a 23-year-old metal
worker who died of brain injuries Friday from an auto.

Dr. Maurice Mercadier, who headed a 10-man surgical
team, said "we must have a patient sufficiently resistant to
have a chance of success" in operations the team plans to
perform in the future.

Poor People's Campaign Continues
WASHINGTON Representatives of the Poor Peo
ple's Campaign calling on some of the most powerful men in
government continued to get red carpet, treatment yesterday
but their leader insisted: "We don't just want aympathy, we
want action."
Taking stock on the campaign's second day, the Rev.
Ralph Abernathy assured his followers that polite recep
tions and declarations of good intentions won't sway him.
The plan is still to bring thousands of poor persons to
Washington, he said, to camp here and apply mounting pres
sure to the governmental apparatus until the lot of Ameri
ca's poor impr^:ea dramatically.
"They were concerned about our demonstrations,"
Abernathy said after a round of conferences. "We made it
clear we intend to conduct nonviolent, peaceful demonstra
tions. We also made it very clear to them that we are
leaders of a revolution that is taking place in this country
today."
LBJ Urges World Money Approval
WASHINGTON President Johnson launched a drive
yesterday for a quick U.S. ratification of a plan for paper
gold the first basic change in international currency in
more than two decades.
- In a special message to Congress, Johnson said the
United States,- as a leader in the five years of negotiations
which led to the plan, should be one of the first nations to
ratify it.
He called the plan a landmark and a historic step and
said failure to approve it "could turn the clock backwards to
the dark days of restrictive economic policies, narrow in
terests, empty ports and idle men."_
If ratified by 65 nations with an 80 per cent weighted
vote in the International Monetary Fund the agreement will
represent the first basic change in IMF operations since the
Fund was established by the Bretton Woods conference
of 1944.
-
The new money would take the form of a bookkeeping
entry on government and IMF books and would be called
officially a Special Drawing Right, or SDR in the Fund.
Individual citizens would never see it.

Shafer, Nixon Hail Rocky's Decision
HARRISBURG Gov. Shafer said yesterday Nelson
Rockefeller's decision to campaign for the Republican pres
idential nomination "can't help but help the Republican
Party and the nation."
"This is going to be an exciting year," Shafer said.
"We will have, all the issues discussed in full."
Standing at his side as he welcomed Rockefeller into
the race was former Vice President Richard Nixon, re
garded as the front runner for the GOP nomination.
Nixon had scheduled a luncheon meeting with Shafer
to discuss Republican unity prior to Rockefeller's announce
ment from Albany, N.Y.
Nixon said he believed Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's entry
into the Republican presidential race would benefit the
country by providing a healthy debate on the issues of
the day.
However, Nixon said he still was confident he would
win the GOP nomination. -
Shafer said Rockefeller's decision confirmed the wis
dom of taking an uncommitted 64-member Pennsylvania
delegation to the GOP National Convention next August in
Miami, Fla.
"Events can change very swiftly," Shafer said. "I don't
know what will 'happen in the future. But at the moment,
there is no change in my plans to be a favorite son."
• Shafer is scheduled to attend a luncheon meeting of
the World Affairs Council in Philadelphia today at which
'time-Rockefeller is expected to, deliver a major address on
Vietnam. -

Special to The Daily Collegian
NEW YORK CITY, April 30—The campus
of Columbia University was quiet and some
what peaceful late this afternoon, following
a series of protests and demonstrations earlier
in the day by more than 3,000 students.
Rain began to fall around 6 p.m. and
police and university officials hope it will
have a calming effect upon the very angry
campus.
However, it is doubtful that any immedi
ate solution will be reached in the next few
days. after the violence of this morning.
More Columbia news on page three
The Tactical Police Force first began to
appear in increasing numbers about 12:15
a.m. A crowd of more than 500, students that
had circled the Low Memorial Library, the
Columbia administrative building, for most
of the night dwindled to less than 200.
The Majority Coalition opposed to the
tactics though not the aims, of the sit-in
demonstrations, still rung the outside of
President 'Grayson Kirk's office, where more
than 50 demonstrators sat, talked, ate or
tried to sleep.
Vigil Over
Suddenly at 2 p.m. the Coalition—which
had vowed to stay until the strikers left the
building—ended its vigil.
More policemen arrived at the campus

gates on Broadway and Amsterdam avenues,
swelling their ranks to more than 1,000. Four
fire engines were parked one block away in
front of the Cathedral of Saint Joan the
Devine. The administration had been silent
for more than eight hours.
It was time for the "bust."
The violence that followed, as the stu
dents were forcibly evicted from the build
ings by the police, has been described widely
in the press. It is doubtful whether anything
else could have been expected from the
police, who had been taunted and ridiculed
for five days, and students who were reso
lutely convinced of the justice of their cause
and foolish enough to think they could beat
off the police.
Today students are on strike and banned
from entering their own campus. The school's
faculty has asked that the day be one of
meditation and reconciliation for students,
faculty and administration.
But the issues which caused the six-day
crisis have not been solved. There are two
issues which must be dealt with before peace
can be restored to Morningside Heights. They
are questions of student power and black
power.
The Students for a Democratic Society,
which sponsored the protest, decided last
summer that 1968 would be a year dedicated
to student power. The Columbia experience
affirms this.
It was not the building of Columbia's
new gym in a Harlem park which raised their
ire. It was not the University's association
with the Institute for Defense Analyses, a De
fense Department branch specializing in wea
pons research.
News Analysis
SDS and Student Power
—Collegian Photo by Pierre BeMein!
Easy Answe s
The students are angry simply because
they have no say in the running of the Uni
versity. The gym and IDA would not have
been issues, many argued, if the students and
faculty, not the administration, established
Columbia's policies. For the issues, in that
case, would not have existed.
Students' desire for amnesty confirms
this. Columbia has stopped the construction
of the gym at Mayor Lindsay's request and
the political roadblocks and public pressure
which now oppose it make it doubtful that it
will ever be built.
The IDA has been the victim of general
feeling at most universities against secret
government agencies. The recent controversy
has made IDA activities public, creating
widespread resentment. It will be no surprise
if these relations are soon severed.
Not Satisfied
However, in the end, the students were
still not satisfied, because they did not feel
they deserved punishment for using admit
tedly illegal means to end what they con
sidered an immoral policy. The students who
held the buildings were asking the university
to make student power legitimate and the
SDS is now calling for a strike to achieve
that end.
The second issue, however, is much more
complex and is one facing the entire urban
community of the nation. It is the question
of what should be the policy of an elite white
private university with its more than 1,500,000
black neighbors in Harlem.
The demonstrators who occupied Hamil
ton Hall were all Negroes. The police were
expected to evict all students occupying
buildings last Thursday. However, Kirk was

Senate will submit a bill Tues
day to the Senate advocating
major revisions in probation
rules.
The new plan would put no
restriction on activities during
the probation period and the
system would be based on
grade point deficiency rather
than on the present drop-level
average. A grade point de
ficiency would exist when the
total number of grade points

Students would be permitted

the proposed plan has definite
advantages over the present
system.
"Students now get' into the

initially advised against using police force
due to fear of reprisal from the Harlem com
munity.
Harlem did not oppose the gym when it
was first proposed in 1961. The section of the
park in which it was to be built is trash
strewn and rock-covered. The park itself is
a refuge for thieves, muggers and assorted
other deviates, which makes it unsafe after
dusk. The gym undoubtedly would have given
the community athletic community facilities
vastly superior to any it has now.
No More Charity
But the black community no longer
wants charity. Negroes want recognition as
equals from a white university which fig
uratively and literally looks down upon them
from the cliffs of Morningside Heights. They
view the gym as an attempt by Whitey to
push himself into the black community and
steal black land.
However, the problem goes much deeper
than the gym. The university has repeatedly
refused to allow its laborers to unionize.
Many of the workers are from Harlem.
Columbia is also in the midst of an ex
pansion program, buying up hundreds of
homes in the campus area. Many of these
homes are occupied by blacks who are forced
to move. This has caused increasing tension
between the campus and the black com
munity.
Monday night 350 Harlem residents dem
onstrated in front of the campus against
what their leaders termed racist policies.
They have promised to return.
Wednesday. hundreds of white students
will demonstrate at this university. They also
have promised to return.

"within the Republican party
and outside it," urged him to
get in the fight.

of disintegration abroad."
Nixon Speaks Out
Comments promptly came
from Nixon, the apparent front
runner for the GOP nomination,
and from Gov. George Romney
of Michigan, whom Rockefeller
supported until he dropped out
of the race in early March.
Nixon's statement said in
part. "I think Gov. Rockefel
ler's announcement will make
for a more exciting convention
and will result in a more mean
ingful discussion of the issues.
I'm glad to have him in. I
have thought all along that it
would be ye* heluful for the
Republican party to ha% e an
other active candidate in the
contest.
Romney echoed t" is thought,
adding: "Because no other can
