Carter
to meet
Meany
WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic
front-runner Jimmy Carter,
maneuvering to close party ranks
behind his presidential candidacy, has
arranged a private meeting with AFL
CIO President George Meany.
The two men, who talked once on the
telephone but who have never met, will
get together Friday in Meany's office
across Lafayette Park from the White
House.
An aide to the 81-year-old labor leader,
Confirming the arrangements yester
day, said Carter "took the initiative" in
setting up the session. The aide said only
that the two would "get together and
talk."
"There'll be no photographers, and
Meany will have nothing to say af
terward," said the aide, AFL-CIO
spokesman Al Zack.
FBI avoided probes
into illegal break-ins
WASHINGTON (UPI) The FBI
knew some 200 break-ins it committed
against domestic groups were "clearly
illegal" and therefore never sought
outside authorization for the undercover
work, Senate investigators said
yesterday.
The extent and total number of the
break-ins may never be known since no
one outside the FBI was ever told of
them and all records were destroyed, the
investigators said.
The break-ins, known as "black bag
jobs," were described in a Senate
Intelligence Committee staff report
which criticized the practice as a "deep
intrusion into the privacy of targeted
individuals."
William C. Sullivan, former assistant
director of the FBI, was quoted in an
internal memo as saying that no
authorization for the break-ins was
sought from the Justice Department or
elsewhere because they were against the
law.
"Such a technique involves
trespassing and is clearly illegal," said
Sullivan. "Therefore, it would be im-
OTIS foresees fall housing

Apartment dwelling students arriving
as scheduled next fall may have some
% trouble getting into their apartments,
according to Dean Moore, president of
the Organization for Town Independent
Students.
Moore said at last night's OTIS
meeting that some 12-month leases will
expire on the student arrival date,
August 31, and with time allowed for
apartment inspection, "It may be touchy
getting new people in, I don't know how
much of a problem it will be," he said.
Moore suggested to Raymond 0.
Murphy, vice president for student af
fairs, that the HUB be left open as
housing for students without apart
ments.
Murphy said the University will make
provisions to take some people in, but
adjustment's must be made by the
landlords and students living in the
apartments. Murphy said there will be
no announcement that the University
will take students in "en masse"
because he is afraid the landlords will
Where's the beach
Why? "Because the AFL-CIO is
neutral and is taking no position until
after the conventions," Zack said.
Until recently, Carter has portrayed
himself as an outsider not beholden to
any of the traditional powers in the
Democratic party. But, since the Penn
sylvania primary, he has spent much of
his time trying to win over uncommitted
delegates and party leaders.
Last week, the candidate won a
number of endorsements, including that
of United Auto Workers President
Leonard Woodcock.
Meany, who controls the AFL-ClO's
political activities, has met with all
Democratic presidential candidates
except Alabama Gov. George C.
Wallace. Meany has said all but Wallace
are acceptable to labor.
Nevertheless, Meany and most of the
old-line labor leaders, particularly in the
building trades, have been cool to
Carter.
Now, however, the union leaders are
becoming reconciled to a Carter victory
at the Democratic convention,
especially since his victory in the
Pennsylvania primary, where the
candidate overcame the opposition of
the old-line unions and the party
organization. '
possible to obtain any legal sanction for
it."
The report said former FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover outlawed the practice
for use against domestic targets in 1966.
But it added that there was evidence at
least one of the "black bag" jobs was
committed against a "domestic sub
versive" group between 1968 and 19618.
The FBI reported at least 239 entries
between 1942 and 1966, the report said.
The "black bag" entries against at least
15 targets were for the purpose of
photographing documents and were
apart from 1,000 other break-ins made to
install hidden microphones or wiretaps.
Investigators noted further that this
was only a partial tally reconstructed
from recollections of agents because
authorizations were made under a "Do
Not File" order to destroy all records.
"The FBI was unable to retrieve an
accurate accounting of the number of
warrantless surreptitious entries from
their files," they said.
Targets included the Ku Klux Klan,
the Socialist Workers Party . and a
"white hate group."
not do anything to help solve the
problem.
"This summer is a problem, no two
ways about it," Murphy said. "Those
( housing) interests are not really
academic and they have to adjust to the
academic year." He said the calendar is
released well in advance up to 1983.
In other business, Moore said he asked
that a student be put on the Borough-
University Liaison Group which includes
faculty and borough government
members. Moore compromised with the
group.
"Arnold Addison, municipal coun
cilman and a group co-chairman, said
we could have a student on the board as
long as he was an OTIS member, a
competent student and would keep quiet
on what goes on at the meetings," Moore
said.
Stanley Ikenberry, senior vice
president for University development
and relations and also a co-chairman of
the group, said an alternative proposal
was agreeable. "We will make the
meeting dates available (to the student)
along with agendas,",he said.

Trails Reagan in delegate count
Ford hopes to win
By The Associated Press
President Ford attempts to stop the
momentum of Ronald Reagan's
Republican presidential drive and build
some momentum of his own today as
Nebraska becomes this week's principal
political battleground.
The President, only two weeks ago a
solid leader in the race for the
Republican presidential nomination,
now trails Reagan in the delegate count
and looks to the Nebraska presidential
primary to provide a psychological boost
going into next week's contests in
Michigan and Maryland.
Also scheduled today are a
Democratic contest in Nebraska, with
Sen. Frank Church of Idaho, in his
primary debut, the latest candidate to
try and stop Jimmy Carter; a non
binding beauty contest in West Virginia,
Italian tremor deaths near 1,000
UDINE, Italy (UPI) Rain, heat and the danger of
poisonous snakes yesterday confronted earthquake
survivors in Italy's makeshift tent cities. Authorities
said ,the death toll from last week's quake could climb
well above 1,000.
Spokesmen for the Udine Prefecture said the local
government's unofficial count showed 914 persons
known dead and 400 missing. Police said 815 bodies had
been recovered from the ruins of 24 devastated north
east towns and villages.
Authorities said searchers would need several days
more to comb through the wreckage of several isolated
villages. •
"When we first spoke of 1,000 dead, it was what we
feared," said Udine prefecture spokesman Natale
Labia. "Now we are almost there and we fear it will be
even worse."
Officials said about 1,300 persons were injured in
Thursday's earthquake, the nation's worst in 61 years.
At least 62,000 were left homeless, and most of them are
"There will also be an opportunity to
suggest additional items to the agenda,"
Ikenberry said. ."If a particular item of
OTIS and student interest comes up in an
agenda, I have pledged to bring Mr.
Moore as my guest."
OTIS members also discussed the
House bills currently in the State
General Assembly concerning eviction
and apartment living conditions.
The retaliation eviction bill states that
a landlord may not evict a tenant for
reporting violations, and that the land
lord must prove justifiable reasons for
the eviction. This shifts the burden of
proof that a tenant was not evicted in
retaliation from the tenant to the land
lord.
The other house bill deals with leases
verifying the satisfactory living con
ditions of the apartment.
"The retaliatory eviction bill is im
portant because we get kids here now
who want to report their landlords, but
fear eviction," Moore said. "It might
increase the amount of cases turned in."
Moore said the bill dealing with living

and a party-run Democratic primary in
Connecticut that is the first step in the
selection of that state's 51 delegates.
But most of the attention is on
Nebrasaka, which has only 25 delegates
but which has become a test :of Ford's
ability to bounce back from four straight
setbacks a crushing defeat by Reagan
in Texas and losses last Tuesday in
Indiana, Alabama and Georgia.
Only 25 delegates are at stake in
Nebraska, but the psychological stakes
are high and a win could help Ford hold
off Reagan in the President's home state
of Michigan, where the former
California governor is reported coming
on strong. The state-wide popularity
contest has no relation to the delegate
selection, which is done by slates in each
of the three Congressional districts.
Ford, who trails Reagan 396-309 in the
conditions is not important in State
College.
OTIS is asking for mass letter writing
by - students to their state represen
tatives. Also, the members of OTIS are
calling on the Undergraduate Student
Government for support in the letter
writing campaign.
"The bill may come up fora vote early
next week," Moore said. "We are calling
legislators in our home districts and we
hope students use the letter in the
Collegian advertisement to write to their
legislators."
Well, we won't hit 80 degrees today or
have as much sunshine, but we'll still
have a pretty nice day. Under speckled

Plan outlines goals for region
Editor's note: This article is part of a study on the Centre
Region Comprehensive Plan.
Almost half of the population in the six municipalities of the
Centre Region will reside elsewhere four years from now. This
transient portion of our community are students of the
University.
But other residents remain in the Centre Region for life.
Many grow up, go to school, find employment and die in the
shadow of Penn State.
Others relocate to the Centre Region for a variety of
reasons. They may prefer the university atmosphere or the
rural countryside or both. Some may go into business, others
into retirement. But whatever the reason, the permanent
residents have a stake in the future physical development of
the area.
By August the municipalities of the Centre Region are ex
pected to approve a Comprehensive Plan designed to guide
municipal officials in their physical development planning to
the year 2000. The plan is a statement of goals, objectives and
policies covering broad development concerns.
Residential development, mass transit systems and
government operations are only a few of the varied aspects
the Comprehensive Plan considers for the future.
The plan did not spring up overnight. Its 25-page statement
of goals and objectives and its more than 700 pages of
documentation represent several years of labor and revision
by concerned citizens and local government officials, ac
cording to Centre Regional Planning Director Ron Short.
The Comprehensive Plan's ultimate goal is "the enhance
ment of the quality of life in the Centre Region by the
management of change for the social, economic and en
vironmental benefit of the entire community."
Furthermore, it is "to provide for orderly physical change
and development based upon projected changes in population
and allocated according to local and regional needs, con
straints and conditions."
Carol Herrmann, Centre Regional Planning Commission
chairman, said the plan's proposed goals and objectives sound
general, but that when they are coupled with specific policies
to be decided by individual municipalities, the plan becomes a
valuable guide for planning decisions.
Herrman said the plan proposes to preserve the four living
options that make the Centre Region "unique" compared to
other communities. It outlines the preservation of an urban
environment in downtown State College, a suburban en
vironment, villages and rural areas.
now being sheltered in "tent cities" near destroyed
communities.
Ministry of Public Works officials said an initial
survey indicated 10,537 buildings had been destroyed in
the disaster area, 7,820 were in serious condition and
5,205 others suffered slight damage.
Officials in the Friuli region estimated damage to
small and medium-sized industries in the area left
12,000 persons without jobs,
Premier Aldo Moro's government last night decided
to allocate $240 million for the most immediate
reconstruction needs. It was to meet again today or
tomorrow to work out a plan for coordinating use of the
money with Friuli regional and local officials.
Health officials said the danger of epidemics in the
hot and humid region had subsided, but there were
fears that poisonous snakes might be awakened from
hibernation by the shaking ground and hot weather.
"The danger of an epidemic is under control for
now," an Interior Ministry spokesman said. "We have

with a speech at the Washington
Monument. The President used the
occasion to counter one of the issues that
Reagan has been stressing by
reiterating that the nation's "defenses
are strong and we will keep them
strong."
Reagan, meanwhile, observed the day
quietly in Los Angeles.
Crossover voting, which seemed to
help Reagan in Texas and Indiana, is not
allowed in Nebraska and that gives Ford
one edge.
But Reagan may have an advantage in
the race for delegates. Reagan workers
have been advertising the names of

with rats but we have sent for snake bite vaccine."
A morning downpour cooled the area briefly but then
the heat, which speeds the decomposition of human
bodies and animal carcasses, returned.
Two mild aftershocks jolted the region yesterday,
sending a 440-pound marble statue crashing 150 feet
from a bell tower in the town of Bolzano, but no serious
damage or casualties were reported.
"There is no great problem with the shocks, but the
weather makes things very difficult first the sun and
now the rain," the Interior Ministry spokesman said.
In Rome, government sources said, the decision to
place the homeless in tents rather than temporary
housing would allow authorities quick action in per
manently rebuilding the region.
"This time we must build so that another earthquake
in 10 years will not bring it down," the spokesman said.
"The people are not fleeing. There is a will to stay and
rebuild."
"With the plan we're saying that we are lucky to have all
these living options and that we should preserve these
choices," Herrmann said. "We shouldn't encourage land-use
development contrary to this "
She stressed the need for physical development where it has
"the least negative impact on the natural environment." For
example, she said the region should avoid housing develop
ment on fertile agricultural land or on mountain ridges.
Also, she said the plan allows for' the most efficient ex
pansion of public services. For example, residential areas
should "cluster" for economical use of gas, sewer and mass
transit systems.
Goals of the Comprehensive Plan are divided into four
sections. The first, land-use planning, includes goals and
objectives for agricultural, residential, commercial and in
dustrial development. Community facilities planning follows,
which accounts for public and quasi-public facilities, public
utilities and transportation needs.
The other two sections of planning goals include natural
features planning and government operations planning. Short
said communities often neglect the latter goals in their
comprehensive plans.
Short said most comprehensive plans have only two pages
on environmental planning, an area which "deserves much
more attention." In this area, for example, developers must
be aware of land noted for sinkholes, he said. He said we must
plan according to our available supply of natural resources.
Concerning governmental operations, Short noted a lack of
public involvement in local governmental policy-making. He
said the plan proposes intensifying citizen participation.
The goals and objectives are to be adopted by all six
municipalities of the Centre Region. The individual municipal
governments of State College Borough and Patton, College,
Ferguson, Harris and Halfmoon townships then decide upon
their own separate policies to obtain the goals.
The plan does not have the weight of law, Short said, but
serves as a guide upon which laws are based. "It is not an
ordinance or directive," he said. "The municipalities may or
may not take the recommendations. But the plan does reflect
the present attitudes of the community about planning.
"Newly elected officials can pick up the document and see
what needs to be done and how it can be accomplished," he
said.
"This plan is unique and one of the most innovated com
prehensive plans in the state," he said. "Most just glorify the
area. But we've taken the textbook ideas and are trying to
make them work."
Tomorrow: A history of the plan's development
advertising as against state tradition,
and the President's slates have only
been publicized for the last week.
There are 11 candidates on the
Democratic ballot in Nebraska, where
the secretary of state can list anyone
thought to be a serious candidate. But
the contest for the 23 delegates is really
between Carter and Church, who en
tered the race late and made Nebraska
the site of his first major effort.
That effort has made the Idaho
senator the focus here for the stop-
Carter movement. Church, who hopes to
pick up delegates throughout the West,
had headquarters in seven Nebraska
cities and staff members estimated he
spent $125,000 in the state.
Carter, on the other hand, spent two
days in Nebraska, and spent an
estimated $40,000 there.
