Enemy Shoots Down Nine U.S. Picines
SAIGON North Vietnamese who overran a Special
Forces camp in the far north shot down nine U. S. aircraft,
including a Cl3O transport that carried six American crew
men and possibly 150 South Vietnamese to their deaths.
This would be the world's worst air disaster.
The story of what happened at Kham Due was told by
U.S. officers yesterday, two days after the storm of battle
broke over that camp only 30 miles southwest of Da Nang,
the big South Vietnamese and U. S. Marine base.
The fact that officers reported about 5,000 enemy
troops launched the attack showed that the North Vietna
mese still operate freely in the area despite U. S. claims
that their main supply base was destroyed in the A Shau
Valley to the north.
The Cl3O . was hit Sunday as it took off with South
Vietnamese irregulars and their families, crashed into a
mountain in enemy territory and exploded. A U. S. source
said the plane was believed loaded to its capacity of about
150 passengers and as far as is known there were no survi
vors.
BeGaulle Gets Wild Cheers in Romania
BUCHAREST, Romania Hundreds of thousands of
Romanians cheered President Charles de Gaulle on his
arrival in Bucharest yesterday. And he told them what
they wanted to hear in their quarreling with the Soviet
Union, stressing national freedom from any power bloc.
The French president was greeted by the Romanian
President and party leader, Nicolas Ceausescu, who in
welcoming remarks picked up De Gaulle's theme of small
power independence.
"What Romania and France must do, and can do, to
contribute to the grandeur of Europe and therefore to the
world's grandeur will be the subject of our conversation,"
De Gaulle told an airport audience.
Obviously referring to Romania's policy tending to
ward political and economic independence from Moscow,
De Gaulle declared that Romanian friendship with France
"is more important today, than ever before as Europe is
beginning to re-establish itself in the independence of each
of its nations."

Pompidou Attacks French Student Rioters
_PARIS Flying the red and black flags of rebellion
and anarchy, students occupied most of France's 18 uni
versities , yesterday in a seizure that Preniier Georges
Pompidou called an international plot and a "trial of our
civilization."
Shaken by the rebellion and a censure motion,
Pompidou went before the National Assembly with offers
of new concessions to- the students.—Virtuatly all 'their
original demands were met.
Referring to the seizures and rioting last week in
Paris' Latin Quarters, the premier said: "I see no precendent
in our history other than in the hopeless period of the
15th century, where the structures of the Middle Ages
were collapsing."

Teachers Stay Away in Negro School Dispute
NEW YORK About 110 teachers refused to goto
their classrOoms in a mostly Negro junior high school 'in
Brooklyn Tuesday, as adult Negro demonstrators again
prevented five white teachers from entering the building.
Moie than 200 policemen stood by, but made no move
to escort the teachers into J.H.R. 271—part of an eight-school
experiment project intended to demonstrate how neighbor
hood control will improve schools and reduce racial .ten
sions.
Police said the citywide Board of Education first asked
officers 'to escort the five teachers into J.H.S. 271, past
30 to 40 Negroes who were blocking the entrances, but
then withdrew the request because "negotiations" were
under way. The Negro demonstrators included some parents
and some representatives of the Congress of Racial Equality.

Kennedy Wins Nebraska Primary
OMAHA. Neb. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y.
swept to an impressive victory yesterday in the Nebraska
presidential primary, dealing a crushing blow to his chief
ballot rival, Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D-Minn.
Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon ran away
with the Republican race, although California Gov. Ronald
Reagan surprised by chalking up nearly a fourth of the
GOP vote.
- - - -
Kennedy', striving for a majority of the Demodratic
count in a state that gave his late brother, John K. Ken
nedy the lowest percentage support in 1960, whirled off to
an early lead. He see-sawed around 50 per cent of the total
party vote.
McCarthy said the Nebraska outcome would not deter
him from trying to bolster his faltering drive for the
presidential nomination in the Oregon, California and South
Dakota primaries.

State Moves To Dismiss Sales Tax Suit
HARRISBURG Claiming' the question was beyond
the scope of judicial review, a state's attorney asked Com
monwealth Court yesterday to dismiss a suit challenging
the enactment of Pennsylvania's 6 per cent sales tax.
"The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has consistently
held that it was not within the purview of judicial jurisdic
tion to go behind the legislative record," Deputy Atty.
Gen. Edward T. Baker argued before the six-man court.
A suit challenging the constitutionality of the 6 per
cent sales tax enacted by the 1967 General Assembly was
field with the court by Milton Shapp, defeated Democratic
gubernatorial candidate of two years ago; and Mrs. Antonia
Velasquez, a Philadelphia garment worker:'
Shapp and Mrs. Velasquez contended that the bill in
creasing the sales levy from 5 per cent was invalid because
five House members recorded in favor of the legislation
were not physically present at the time the vote was taken
last December. -

The coalition of students protesting the
University's affiliation with the Institute for

"The purpose of the teach.-in," James

Bill Offered To End Scholarships
HARRISBURG (4') Two Republican
House members proposed legislation yester
day that would replace the state's 547 mil
lion college scholarship program with an ex
panded loan system.
The proposal was offered by Reps.
Joseph V. Zord, R-Allegheny, and John
Stauffer, R-Chester, who said the state would
save money because loans must be repaid
while scholarships are outright gifts.
Under the Zord-Stauffer proposal, a fund
would be set up to make loans up to a maxi
mum 52,000 per student per year or $7,500
total. The loans would be repayable over a

Three University administrators will
meet tomorrow with the executive commit
tee of the Douglas Association to discuss
the list of 12 demands which black students
submitted to Charles L. Lewis Monday.
Representing the University at the meet
ing will be Lewis, vice-president for student
affairs; J. Ralph Rackley, provost; and an
other officer to be selected by University
President Eric A. Walker.
In a statement released last night, Lewis
said the meetino - '
will serve two purposes.
"First, we would like to clarify some of the
requests so that there is no misunderstand
ing. Second, we want to agree with the
Douglas Association on procedures to initiate
consideration-of the list of request."
Admissions Change •
The Douglas Association, which repre
sents most of the 200 black students on cam
pus, demanded that the undergraduate en
rollment of black students be increased to
400 by next fall, 1.000 by the fall of 1969,
and 2,000 by the fall of 1970. The group also
asked for black enrollment to be maintained
at 10 per cent of the student population
thereafter.
The black students demanded more
black professors and graduate students, black
coaches for the athletic teams, more black
athletes, the establishment of a Martin Lu
ther King scholarship fund, the dedication
of a University building to Martin Luther
King, the permanent establishment of a
course in Negro history, the setting aside of
a section of Pattee Library for black au
thors, and the establishment of an African
culture program.
The Douglas Association will be repre
sented at tomorrow's meeting by Wilbert
Manley, president of the group, Vincent Ben
son, vice-president, and several other Asso
ciation executives.
Asked last night what would be dis
cussed at the meeting, Lewis said, "I think
to discuss the agenda at this time would be
inappropriate." Manley also declined to
comment.
According to yesterday's Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, the black students threat
ened to stage a sit-in in Old Main if Lewis
would not agree to their demands. They
left the Dean of Men's office, after three
hours, only when Lewis had signed a "com
mitment" to fulfill their demands.

it will be the refusal of the people in power

our main objectives," he said.
The University is involved in a
center for Architectural and Engi

sponsored by the Army. Palladino
explained. This center is studying
the construction of buildings with
bomb shelters, he said. "This is re
lated to a rather passive type of
defense study."
Ebaugh reported that of the

the fiscal year 1966-67, the federal
'government accounted for 73.9 per

however, a forecast of partly sunny this

Busloads Expected
Several busloads of students will travel

Campuses and other colleges in the state.
Rockefeller will leave State College at

He is scheduled to meet in Pittsburgh

Poor Support
SC LC Leader
PHILADELPHIA On The Rev. Ralph
David Abernathy said yesterday "the out
pouring of poor people and the support we
have gotten for our march has far exceeded
our expectations."
The Rev. Mr. Abernathy, president of
the Southern Christian Leadership Confer
ence, made the comment to newsmen after
flying from Washington to lead the north
east section of the Poor People's Campaign.
The people in the campaign and an out
-pouring of persons from this city marched
six abreast through poor sections of the city
to Independence Hall for a rally. There were
many children in the march and some moth
ers pushed baby carriages.
Symbol of March
Wearing the blue jeans he has adopted
as a symbol of the march, Abernathy paused
for a quick lunch of fried chicken, potato
salad and cold macaroni.
He said that the late Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., his predecessor as head of SCLC,
"never envisioned what has happened to us
in the last few days."
The Rev. Mr. Abernathy repeated that
when poor people come together from all
parts of the country next Monday in Wash
ington, "We will live there until Congress
does something about helping the poor peo
ple of this country—it's the nation's last op
portunity to respond."
Limit on Permits
He said that Washington officials have
placed a limit on how long the campaign
may occupy its shanty town in Washington,
"but you can always renew permits you
know."
About 4.000 persons were on hand when
10 buses with about 350 aboard rolled, in
from Trenton, N.J. They spent last night
here and will move to Wilmington, Del., to
day.
The staging area for Philadelphia is
near where riots flared in 1964, causing
damage estimated at $2 million.
Large tents were erected on the site,
but they served as headquarters and a place
to hand out hundreds of sandwiches and
box meals. Shelter for the marchers was pro
vided in private dwellings.
Police on 12-Hour Shifts
Philadelphia's 7,200 policemen were
placed on 12-hour shifts "for as Tong as we
feel it is needed." police commissioner
Frank L. Rizzo said.
One of the march's coordinators was
critical of police treatment in Trenton, N.J.
The Rev. James Orange said yesterday "the
police were nasty in Trenton and they held
us up nearly an hour past our scheduled
departure time."
