. ' Introduction Planned
OMAHA. Neb. (W) It was Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy against the Democrats field and Richard
M. Nixon topping the GOP list as candidates
wound up their campaigning for today's Nebraska
presidential primary.
Kennedy played the traditional game of hedg
ing against a possibly unsatisfactory outcome. He
insisted that he couldn't get the 50 per cent of
the Democratic vote that would notify prospec
tive convention delegates in other states that his
campaign for the nomination was surging in high
gear.
Former Postmaster' General Lawrence F.
O'Brien, a Kennedy strategist, said he thinks that
if the New York Senator gets 35 per cent of the
vote in the Democratic column, he will have
racked up a substantial victory. He noted that in
Nebraska the late John F. Kennedy hit his lowest
mark of 37.9 per cent in the 1960 presidential race
with Nixon.
McCarthy Prediction
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, Kennedy's chief
rival on the ballot, expressed confidence he will
do better at the polls today than he did when he
ran third in last week's Indiana primary. Ken
nedy got 42 per cent of the vote in that test. Mc-
Carthy placed behind Gov. Roger D. Branigin, a
favorite son candidate, with 27 per cent.
The Minnesota senator declined to deal in
percentages, saying that "a horse doesn't have
to predict who's going to win a race."
O'Brien expressed public concern that a cam
paign for a Democratic write-in for Nixon might
cut into Kennedy's strength.
Crossovers are- barred among the state's 329,-
014 registered Republicans and 281,752 registered
Democrats. But , write-ins are easily scribbled in
on either party's ballot.

Strikes, Demonstrations Hit France
PARIS Hundreds of thousands of portesters against
the De Gaulle regime surged through the heart of Paris
yesterday in the climax of a day of general strike and dem
onstrations across France. The protests seemed a success,
but strike effects were so spotty it was often difficult to
tell one was on.
Workers, students, people of all ages and classes
marched for three miles amid chants .for President Charles
de Gaulle to' resign and cries of "De Gaulle assassin! De
Gaulle assassin!" _ • •
- - - _
It was the largest people's .parade through Paris in
memory and the strongest such demonstration against De
Gaulle's Fifth Republic. He leaves today for Romania on
a state visit.
After some concessions from the regime toward stu
dents who had rioted last week, the demonstrations took
on a wide -tone of criticism against the entire Gaullist
structure.
Alliei Declare VC Offensive 'Crushed'

Addresses HUB Lawn Crowd Tomorrow
peal to every Democrat to write-in Nixon's name
on their party's ballot. Dickinson's effort to rally
disgruntled Democrats is based on the theme that
McCarthy, Kennedy and Vice President Hubert H.
Humphrey offer "nothing - but more of the same"
of rioting in the cities and excessive spending.
An under-financed and publicly disavowed
write-in drive for Humphrey was not generally
expected to provide him with any significant por
tion of the Democratic vote.
But the vice president seemed likely to share
heavily in the state's 30-vote convention delega
tion. The two Democratic National Committee
members, who automatically get places on the
delegation. are for Humphrey.
The 28 other delegate votes will be repre
sented by individual winners elected separately
and unbound by the results of the popularity
contest in which the national contenders are
vying.
Candidates supporting or leaning toward
Humphrey offer the best known names in the
delegate contests.
The undetermined factor in the mixed four
some of Democratic candidates is President John
son. His March 31 announcement that he would not
accept renomination came too late for his name
to be removed from the ballot.
Republican Gov, Norbert T. Tieman said votes
for Johnson could be assumed as votes for Hum
phrey, although the President has not publicly
offered political help to his second man.
Tiemann forecast that Nixon would get 70 per
cent of the Republican vote, a prediction that
former Secretary, of Interior Fred Seaton took
pains to downgrade. Seaton, a long-time Nixon
associate, said the former vice president would do
well to get 50 per cent in a contest where write
ins for Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York
will be a factor.

Poor People Begin 'Summer Siege'
WASHINGTON The Poor People's Campaign raised
:its wooden camp on a lawn by the Lincoln Memorial yes
terday to begin what its leaders say will be a summer
long siege of Congress.
, The Rev, Ralph David Abernathy promised protesters,
"We're going to plague the pharaohs of, this nation with
plague' after plague until they agree to give us meaning
ful jobs and a guaranteed annual income."
Although the pentagon placed an unannounced num
ber of troops in what it termed "a state of readiness,"
there were no incidents of any type reported.
Abernathy, leader .of the campaign planned by the
late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., - said, "We're going to
stay here until the Congress acts or the Congress adjourns,
'and then we will go on wherever Congress goes."
, The first marchers arrived by bus from Mississippi
and Tennessee Sunday. Other regiments wound their way
toward the -capital Monday through Michigan, South

Confer for Three Hours in Old Main;
Increase in Black Enrollment Asked
By MIKE SERRILL
Collegian Editorial Editor
Approximately 100 black students
made a surprise visit to Old Main yes
terday afternoon and confronted Vice-
President for Student Affairs Charles
L. Lewis with a list of 12 demands for
changes - in the University's policy re
garding black students.
On the list were demands for a
larger black enrollment at the Univer
sity, more black professors and more
black graduate students.
The students entered Old Main
about 4:30 p.m. and jammed into
Lewis's ground floor office. He agreed
to hear their grievances and the group
:moved into the larger Dean of Men's
' office at the west end of the Adminis
tration building.
Three-hour Talk
The black students talked with
Lewis until 7:26 p.m., then quietly
filed out of Old Main and dispersed.
The meeting was closed to report
ers, but Wilbert Manley, newly elected
president of the Douglas Association,

'Specter App -cis Confessions Ruling
PHILADELPHIA Dist. Atty. Arlen Fpecter asked
Pennsylvania's Supreme Court yesterday to reconsider its
opinion that laid down new guidelines on how police may
obtain confessions.
The high tribunal 10 days ago ruled that a confession
obtained by police froin a 17-year-old New Kensington
girl violated her constitutional rights. The court said she
hadn't been advised properly that a lawyer could better
help her understand the nature of the charges.
Geraldine Taper was convicted of second degree mur
der in the 1965 gun slaying of a Westmoreland County man.
"All but a handful of the thousands of confessions
given throughout the Commonwealth over the past two
years ,are inadmissable under the new ruling by the court,"
Specter said.
"The effect, however, will be felt most severely in
murder cases, where the victim is no longer available to
testify against the defendant, and less in minor cases,
where the confessions are seldom sought or used," Specter
added.

Harriman, Thu Muffle Accusation
Peace Envoys Cordial
PARIS (PP) Each side in the Vietnam
war demanded yesterday that the other side
scale down the bitter conflict as a step
toward peace.
But the special emissaries of Presidents
Johnson and Ho Chi Minh—Ambassador W.
Averell Harriman and Minister of State
Xuan Thuy—were careful to muffle their
charges and countercharges in relatively
mild terms. It was as if they were signaling
a readiness to talk on and on, despite their
public postures, to end a war they both
detest.
It was a predictable send-off for the
long awaited encounter, held amid the
Gobelin tapestries and glittering chandeliers
of the storied former Majestic Hotel within
sight of the Arch of Triumph.
Harriman and Thuy, seasoned in the
graces of diplomacy, each courteously prom
ised to study the presentation of the other
and to meet again tomorrow.
The central demand of Thuy's declara
tion, delivered first at Harriman's invitation,
was as simple as it was stark: "Since the U.S.
government has unleashed the war of de
struction against the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam, the U.S. has to definitively and
unconditionally cease its bombing raids and
others acts of war on the whole territory of
the DRV.
"That is the prime and most pressing

students
• More black literature offered in
the University's English courses
•The introduction of an African
culture study program.
The confrontation was at least in
part the result of a statement by Lewis
printed Sunday by Philadelphia's Sun
day Bulletin. Lewis is quoted as say
ing that student dissent at Penn State
is not as "dangerous as at Columbia"
because Penn State "is not in an urban
area and not contaminated by Harlem."
The statement was reprinted yes
terday in the Students for a Democratic
Society newsletter, "Southpaw."
The - blacks reportedly resent the
word "contaminated" and the implica 7
tion that the Douglas Association is
associated with the radical SDS.
Lewis called the Bulletin during
the conference and, according to Man
ley, retracted the statement. A spokes
man for the Bulletin said last night
that a story concerning the issue will
be *st.oted in today's paper.
Sunday's article dealt almost ex
clusively with SDS activities at Penn
State. Most of the information was con
tributed by Neil Buckley, SDS regional
organizer, and a graduate of the Uni
versity.
Buckley entered Old Main about
7 last night with two other men, ap
parently planning to join the con
ference in the Dean of Men's office. A
black student spoke to Buckley in pri
vate and he immediately left the build
ing.
When the meeting ended, none of
the black students would comment to

legitimate demand of the DRV
To the relief of some on the American
side, Thuy did not go on then to warn he
will leave the conference if he does not get
his way. He spoke instead of the "serious
attitude and good will' with which his side
intends seeking an end of American military
action in order to be able to proceed "to
other points of interest."
This was a plain reference to the prob
lem of a wider peace settlement—the prob
lem which Harriman made the theme of his
2,000-word address.
America's millionaire trouble-shooting
diplomat outlined a seven-point program for
peace in all Indochina, beginning with a
swift agreement to restore the once demili
tarized zone between North and South Viet
nam as a genuine buffer.
Harriman charged the Northern Reds
are totally violating the demilitarized zone—
sending troops through it, firing over it and
ail the rest.
"We believe the demilitarized zone
should function as a genuine buffer," he
said. "Let us begin by pulling apart the con
tending forces as a step toward broader mea
sures of de-escalation."
He saw such a move as "a reasonable test
of good faith" which, if fulfilled, could lead
on to other elements of a settlement.

named acting president of Cheyney State College yester
day to succeed Leroy Banks Allen.
Allen resigned last Friday for what he said was the
good of the school in the wake of student demonstrations
that included• seizure of the campus administration build
ing for three days.
About a third of the predominantly Negro school's
1,800 students participated in the protests. The ousting of
Allen was near the top of the. list of student demands.
Both Allen and Wilson are Negroes.
Wilson, director of the development, grants and awards
program, is a Cheyney graduate and has been on the
faculty since 1947. He was president of the PSEA last year.
Allen came to Cheyney in 1965 after seven years as
president of Bluefield, W.Va., State College.

Private School Aid Bill Now in Senate
HARRISBURG A House-approved bill that would
provide about $27 million in state aid, for nonpublic schools
was given to the Senate Appropriations Committee yes
terday amid predictions that further action would be slow
in coming.
Sen. George N. Wade, R- Cumberland, committee chair
man, said he' did not expect his panel to release the bill to
the floor for some time.
"The bill will receive early attention," Wade said, "but
don't expect prompt action, because there is no money
in sight."
Wade said the committee would consider the bill
"within the next couple of weeks."
The bill, which would set up a special authority to
purchase educational services from private and parochial
schools, was passed by the House last Wednesday.
- As now drafted, the measure would finance the non
public school authority by allocating to it 15 per cent of
the state's annual cigarette tax collections.
