University Art Head Will Visit Eight African Nations
A three-month on the spot study of African art was launched this week by DePauw University art department head A. Reid Winsey. Winsey’s plans call for visits to eight African nations. He will gather slides, art objects and interviews that will be useful tq the African Studies program and non-Western art curriculum here. In Africa Winsey Is scheduled to confer with museum directors, contemporary African artists and craftsmen. Countries on the Itinerary are Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Senegal. His chief project will be to take or acquire colored slides of the several media of African art. The slides and related interviews subsequently will be placed in an African art library on the campus. They will become available to other American universities, foundations and museums. These acquisitions also could provide the nucleus for a syllabus and audio-visual materials for future African courses at DePauw and other similar schools. Undergraduates, particularly those at DePauw, could use the materials before departing for international study in Africa where the university envisions the establishment of programs. Two foundations — Ford and Samuel H. Kress — are helping to underwrite the sabbatical leave project of Winsey. Their grants amount to $5,500. It is believed the university’s present collection of 4,000 slides and those obtained in the next three months win give DePauw the moat complete collection of African art elides of any small college in the country. The trip is given further impetus by the fact DePauw has been designated as one of two colleges to develop African Studies Centers for the 12member Great Lakes Colleges Association. Winsey will be investigating possibilities for securing visiting African artists and contemporary African exhibitions for the Great Lakes members. Professor and Mrs. Winsey expect to return to the States May 24. New Snow Hits Eastern Coast A fierce storm spawned in the South hit the Northeast today with another belt of snow just as the region was beginning to pull out of the effects of Tuesday’s paralyzing blizzard.

Johnson Asks $3.1 Billion OK For Foreign Aid WASHINGTON UPI —President Johnson asked Congress Thursday to approve a $3.- billion foreign aid program that emphasized assistance for those countries willing to help them-
selves.
Claiming he had “recommended no charity” in the appropriation request for fiscal 1968, the President said the program was based on the principle that “self-helped is the life-blood of economic developments.” The request included about $2.5 billion in economic aid of ; which $550 million would be for South Vietnam and almost $600 million for military assis-
tance.
The total is below the $3.4 billion that Johnson requested a year ago but higher them the $2.9 billion that Congress granted. His request is expected to encounter the usual House
and Senate resistance.
But Johnson, in a special message urging approval of his requests, said that “nothing could be more short sighted and self-defeating” than to cut it
back on the basis of “needs at ! nation’s military reservists has
home and the cost' of the
struggle in Vietnam.”

Colombia Quake Toll Is Mounting BOGOTA, Colombia UPI — A shivering earthquake spread death and destruction over a thickly inhabitated swath of Colombia Thursday, setting skyscrapers in Bogota lurching violently for two full minutes. The quake was felt as far away as Iquitos, Peru, 600 miles to the south. Government Minister Ismal Pastrana Borrero today estimated the death toU at 61, but said the figure could rise steeply when communications with outlying areas are reestablish-
ed.
At least 200 were injured, hundreds more were treated for shock and thousands were
homeless.
Authorities said it was the worst earthquake in Colombia
in half a century.
No American casualties were reported, the U. S. Embassy said. A six-man commercial mission from Mississippi escaped unharmed from an office build-
ing in Bogota.
Much of the destructive force of the temblor was centered in Huila province, where at least 45 persons died. Huila’s provincial capital, Neiva, was 90 per cent destroyed or damaged and 24 of the dead were dragged from the ruins of its buildings. In another town, Campoalegre, there were 14 dead. TYie quake caused panic in Bogota as people fought to get out of swaying skyscrapers built in the shadow of the Andes Mountains. Twelve persons died
in the capital.

HONG KONG UPI — A Communist Chinese newspaper charged today that documents dealing with the nation’s nuclear research program have been stolen, possibly during a Red Guard raid on a government office. The Peking newspaper Revolutionary Worker said secret police had arrested two suspects in the case and seized seven pistols. The report said public security forces chief Hsieh Hu-chih had ordered an investigation of the theft to determine whether the documents had been smuggled outside the country. The documents were described by the paper as relating to Communist China’s growing research program. They were reportedly stolen from the state council office in the Chinese capital. Although the Peking newspaper did not reveal how the documents were stolen, there were reports last month that rampaging bands of Red Guards had ransacked the government office several times, supposedly to round up enemies of Communist party Chairman Mao Tsetung. Premier Chou En-lai had issued a stern warning to the young Marxist students to keep their hands off the state council office — but apparently his words came too late.

CRAWFORDSVILLE UPI — Six members of the “Outlaws” motorcycle gangs went to court Thursday minus beards and shaggy hair and the decorated black leather jackets which irked Judge Howard Sommer when they stood before him 10 days ago. The men walked handcuffed into Montgomery Circuit Court neatly dressed, clean-shaven and sporting GI haircuts. On Jan. 30, they wore beards, long hair and swastikas on their jackets and Sommer ordered them to revise their appearance when next they came before him. Next was today when they were led in for arraignment on charges of robbing a service station late last month.

Since Feb. 1, the six had been held in the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton at the request of the county sheriff who said "for the welfare of other prisoners" he preferred not to have them in his jail. John White of Indianapolis, attorney for the men, asked for a change of venue from Sommer as judge. Sommer granted it and a new judge was scheduled to be chosen from a panel of three nominated by Sommer —Robert Monroe of Lafayette, Francis Hamilton of Greencastle, and Frank Fisher of Williamsport, all of them circuit court judges. The men were returned to the reformatory after the hearing. A few members of “Outlaw” gangs were in the courtroom quietly watching as the six defendants came in, one of them wearing a suit and tie.
MOSCOW UPI — Red China today ignored a Kremlin ultimatum to stop the wild demonstrations around the Russian Embassy in Peking and said anti-Soviet rallies were sweeping the Chinese mainland, A dispatch from the official New China News Agency also accused the Kremlin of “a deliberate attempt to worsen relations” by means of antiChinese demonstrations in Moscow. Russian youths and workers have rallied around the Chinese Embassy here for the last four days protesting the siege of the Soviet mission in Peking. But the demonstrations have been subdued compared tq the ones in Peking. The Chinese news agency, however, said the demonstrations in Moscow have "stirred up fierce Indignation among the people throughout China.” “Demonstrations have been sweeping across the length and breadth of the country in the past few days,” NCA said. The agency said 20,000 demonstrators, chanting “Down with Brezhnev” and “Down with Kosygin” massed in the Inner Mongolism capital of Huehot to “protest strongly against the latest fascist outrages by the Soviet revisionist clique.” Reports of continuing antiSoviet demonstrations in China came on the heels of a Russian note Thursday which warned of "retaliatory measures” if the siege of the Soviet mission in Peking continued unabated. Informed sources said the Russians were planning to cut their Soviet mission down to a skeleton staff and force the Chinese to do the Same here. The Kremlin already has evacuated more than 200 Soviet envoys and their families from Red China and left behind only 65 diplomats to run its Peking Embassy.
