The World
Ranger Patrol Meets Enemy Resistance
SAIGON U.S. infantrymen pursuing an enemy battalion
toward the Cambodian border encountered heavy resistance
yesterday, and contact continued into the night, field reports
said.
The fighting between elements of the U.S. 25th Infantry
division and an estimated 400 North Vietnamese troops sur
prised an American Ranger patrol in the Renegade Woods, 44
miles northwest of Saigon. Sources said two rangers were
killed, and seven were wounded.
An infantry company moved into the area three miles
from the frontier to relieve the patrol and was hit by heavy
rifle and machine gun fire.
The Americans, reinforced by more ground troops,
helicopter gunships and fighter-bombers, battled the enemy
for about nine hours and reported killing 3 North Vietnamese
soldiers.
Korea Denounces Japanese Hijackers
TOKYO With a Japanese official and three crewmen as
hostages, nine hijackers finally steered an airliner to North
Korea yesterday, and the Pyongyang regime denounced the
whole affair as a plot.
The Japanese hijackers liberated 103 persons who had
spent more than three days in the plane aground in South
Korea while the slow-motion seizure proceeded.
A North Korean broadcast said the Japan Air Lines
Boeing 727 landed in North Korea "without prior notice and
our consent"—and without any guarantees by the Pyongyang
government for its safety.
The broadcast accused the Japanese of a subtle plot "to
create the impression that we want to take in the so-called
Trotskyites or criminals" meaning the hijackers, who
reportedly want to orchestrate a world revolution from
Pyongyang.
W. Germany Demands Diplomat's Safety
GUATEMALA West Germany and Guatemala clasned
yesterday on what to do about a kidnapped West German
diplomat.
The \Vest German government in Bonn declared the
Guatemalan government should give in to the demands for the
ambassador's safety. Guatemala's foreign minister said his
government couldn't do that because it would violate the
nation's constitution.
Not long afterward, Bonn was advised by its embassy
here that the kidnappers had raised their demands to freedom
for about nine hours and reported killing three North Vietna
mese soldiers.
The Nation
Nixon tirges,Postage Stamp Increase
WASHINGTON President Nixon urged yesterday quick
action by Congress to raise the pay of all federal workers and
increase to 10 cents the cost of mailing a letter.
Nixon. in a special message, said his plan would offset the
cost of wage settlements through revenue increases that "will
neither require extending the surtax or raising income tax
rates."
But, he said, further new and permanent revenue
measures—not involving income taxes—will be needed by mid
-1971. He did not specify what measures the administration
would favor.
Under an agreement reached Thursday by government
and union negotiators, some 5.3 million federal civilian
employes and military personnel would get a 6 per cent pay
hike retroactive to Dec. 27, 1969. The agreement does not cov
er about 600,000 federal blue-collar workers.
Air Controllers Continue Sick Call
WASHINGTON "We're sick," contended many air traf
fic controllers yesterday as they ignored pledges by union
leaders to get the men back and end a costly 10-day rebellion.
Attorney F. Lee Bailey and top officials of the Pro
fessional Air Traffic Controllers Organization PATCO
scheduled a news conference to order the controllers back
publicly in compliance with a court-directed agreement with
the government.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported no signifi
cant back-to-work trend. "We see a slight over-all improve
ment, but not enough to have much effect," a spokesman said.
Absenteeism continued high at key facilities in New York,
Chicago, Kansas City and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
For the first time since the sick-call campaign began
Wednesday of last week, the Airline Transport Association
reported fewer flight cancellations and shorter delays.
100,000 To Participate in Victory March
WASHINGTON Leaders of a "March for Victory"
gathered for a prayer meeting last night preceding a parade
today along Pennsylvania Avenue.
They said they expect up to 100,000 persons to participate
in the march led by Carl Mclntire, a fundamentalist radio
preacher from Collingswood; N.J.
Their banners say "In God We Trust" and "Win the War
Now."
"We're looking for a real big turnout," the Rev. Clifford
Peterson, Phoenix, Ariz., Washington coordinator of the
march, said in an interview. "Some small groups are starting
to come in." '
Peterson said leaders are being careful to keep inflam
matory signs out of the parade and also to keep radical groups
away.

State Board Orders Sewage Improvement
HARRISBURG The state Sanitary Water Board yester
day ordered 15 central Pennsylvania municipalities and three
other dischargers -to upgrade their_ sewage treatment
facilities.
The orders involve the upgrading of the Juniata and Sus
quehanna rivers.
They were ordered to remove 85 per cent of the oxygen

River Flooding Causes Traffic Jams
PITTSBURGH The Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers
crested six inches above the 5-foot -flood mark yesterday,
spilling over two thoroughfares and causing massive traffic
jams., •
The rivers began to recede in the evening, but several
inches still remained on sections of the Parkway along the
Monongahela and the 10th Street Bypass near the Allegheny.
Traffic, backed up for several miles on the outskirts at
various times during the day, had to be rerouted through the
High water also closed the Monongahela parking wharf
and River Road on the city's North Side. Police special service
units were called out to rescue a motorist with two small
children who were stranded on River Road. ,
The flooding followed two - days of heavy rains, snow and'
high winds, which toppled trees and power lines all over the
area.

program
The men's residence halls in West
Halls have approved a 24-hour, seven
days a week visitation policy which
went into effect Wednesday. The men
of North Halls voted for the same
policy, while 11 out of 24 houses in East
Halls approved daily 24-hour visitation.
The liberalized visitation policy
came as a result of legislation passed

Church, a Senate dove, was very
outspoken against the slack in the Ken

repeatedly criticized U.S. military
assistance—anywhere in the world.
Church is now the third ranking
majority member of the Senate Interior
Committee and is chairman of its Sub

named the nation's leading conservation
legislator. in 1965 by the National
Wildlife Federation, and authored a bill

Perseverence is Key
Concerning the new .policy, John
Cressman, president of West Halls
Council, said, "This shows that if the
students in residence halls feel strongly
about a policy, it can be adopted if they
persevere. Thanks to the help of the Of

of policy change has gone smoothly
since it was proposed at a WHC meeting
during Fall Term. 6
He added that over 60 per cent of
the men in West Halls voted for the
new visitation policy.

Senators Question Department's
Failure To Investigate Carswell
WASHINGTON (AP) Senators
seeking to block the Supreme Court
nomination of G. Harrold Carswell
demanded yesterday that the Justice
Department explain why it didn't pro
duce "significant and easily discovered
information bearing on , the nominee's
fitness."
In a letter to Atty. Gen. John N.
Mitchell, four senators said that in the
past the FBI has been under instruc
tions to investigate a federal judicial
nominee's racial attitudes with par
ticular care.
Yet in the case of Carswell, they
said, disclosures of a 1948 white
supremacy speech and the Florida
judge's participation in incorporating a
segregated golf club were revealed by
private citizens.
Questions Asked?
At the very least, said the- four,
they wanted to know if Carswell had
been asked the most elementary of
questions:
"Is there anything in your
background . . . that might embarrass
the President or militate against your
appointment to the Supreme Court?"

Individual Residence Halls
Denny Lott, president of the North
Halls Association of Students,
emphasized the fact that the adoption
of the liberalized visitation policy was a
matter for the individual residence
halls, and not the NHAS.
"At last, each residence hall is able
to tailor its visitation policy to its own
individual needs." Lott said.
Ken Schwartz, president of the
East Residence Halls Association, said
yesterday that the residence halls in

Two resident assistants from Sim

"It deserves a lot of communication and
discussion. It's something that has to be
taken seriously." She added, "We are

Miss Foley said she expected
security to "remain the same. It puts
the responsibility back on the in

Another R.A., Karen Edwards, said.

Rottmund said many University

ing that "Students should come

Rottmund and Koval favor the for

Criticizing the recent dispute over
