let truce is cancelled by allies

SAIGON UPI —The allies cancelled their war-wide 36-hour Tet truce in the North-South Vietnam battle zone today and left American forces free to battle a massive Communist invasion threat they said has spilled over into Laos. Military spokesmen there will be no cease-fire in South Vietnam’s northern five provinces and for 175 miles above the North Vietnamese border "In all other areas, the bombing of the North will be stopped and there will be a cessation of ground activities,” a spokesman said. He said the South Vietnam govern-

ment ordered the change at the urging of Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Vietnam, whose men were battling an invasion by 40,000 North Vietnamese at the border, according to U.S. intelligence. The announcement came less than an hour before allied troops elsewhere began the truce to observe the start of the Buddhist Asian new year. A government statement said, “There has been extensive buildup of North Vietnamese forces around the Marine border fort of Khe Sanh, including large

Seven arrested, lodged in Co. jail over weekend

A total of seven persons were arrested by city police, state officers and deputy sheriffs during the weekend. Paul A. Reis, 22, city, and James A. Nowak, 22, city, were arrested by local officers and lodged in the Putnam County jail at 1:08 Saturday morning for malicious trepass. Police said the two young men removed a traffic stop sign. Paul Gray, age and address not given, was jailed at 12:30 Saturday morning by State Trooper Gary Hood and booked for driving while under the influence of intoxicants. At 11:25 Friday night, Donald F. Frye, Sr., 26, Indianapolis, was jailed by State Trooper Ted Settle for deceptive issuance of checks.

James Martin Scott, 35, city, was booked at 4:15 Friday afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs Bob Ziegelman and Tom Brown for non-support of minor children. Erik L. Knudsen, 19, a DePauw student, was arrested on South Locust Street at 11:35 Saturday night by Officers James Baugh and James Phipps. Knudsen was booked at the jail for being a minor in possession of alcohol. James P. Cochran, 23, city, was taken into custody on the city parking lot, across from the Post Office, at 11:49 Saturday night by Officers Alva Hubble. Cochran was slated at the jail for public iintoxication.

numbers of troops in neighboring areas of Laos. In addition, there is visible supply activity on a large scale in the southern areas of North Vietnam, obviously designed to support this offensive. “These developments are dramatic further evidences of open North Vietnamese aggression against the Republic of Vietnam. Combined with the wholesale North Vietnamese and Viet Cong violations of the Christmas and New Years truces, these threatening preparations and actions underline how little respect the aggressors have for the peaceful purposes behind our proposals for truces during these traditional holidays,” the statement said. It marked the first official Allied announcement that North Vietnam’s reported sweeps in Laos were part of what military observers said was an attempt to smash American forces defending the border zone. A U.S. spokesman said truce time on the border only would have given the North Vietnamese a free hand to bolster its already threatening position. A U.S. State Department mission spokesman said the North Vietnamese border buildup clashed with Hanoi’* stated desire to enter peace negotiations promptly if the United States only will halt its bombing in the North. “You can hardly mean you want to talk peace and then move 30,000 to 40,000 troops into an offensive position.” the spokesman said. “That is certainly not conducive to a standown all over.” The announcement came shortly after Marine officers at Da Nang, in the notruce zone, reported heavy new North Vietnamese assaults against a vital Allied supply line.

Church critic to deliver lecture series at DePauw

One of Christianitj-’s most persuasive critics from within, attorney-author William Stringfellow of New York, will give four addresses at DePauw University January 30, 31 and Feburary 1. Stringfellow is appearing as Mendenhall Lecturer to present his remarks in conjunction with the 37th annual Indiana Pastors Conference. The addresses will be given at 8 p.m. Tuesday, 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday, and 10 a.m. Thursday. The titles are The Mystery of Idolatry, The Idolatry of Race, Idolatric Patriotism, and Idolizing the Church. Over 200 ministers of some 16 Protestant denominations are expected for the three-day refresher conclave that opens at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. The opening shot will be an address, “Unity and Renewal”, by Methodist Bishop Richard C. Raines. Stringfellow is a former contributing editor of the controversial Ramparts magazine. Much of his published writing has sprung up from his seven-year experience as an attorney for East Harlem's slum dwelers. It was to Harlem that Springfellow

went in 1956 after graduating from the Harvard Law School. As he writes in his best selling book, The People is My Enemy, “I came to Harlem to live, to W'ork there as a lawyer, to take some part in the politics of the neighborhood, to be a layman in the Church there.” In the estimation of a former editor of motive magazine, Gobin Church minister Dr. Jameson Jones, Greencastle, “Stringfellow probably is the most articulate layman of our time. He has been in the forefront of both theological and social issues.” Stringfellow is a member of the Episcopal Church and represents the American Episcopal Church on the World Council of Churches’ Faith and Order Commission. His various ecumenical activities have taken him to 52 countries including Vietnam, Austj-alia and New Zealand in recent months. It was Time magazine who called the Phi Beta Kappa scholar and syndicated columnist one of Christianity’s most persuasive critics from within. His articles have appeared in numerous magazines, many of them bearing provocative titles such as “God. Guilt and Goldwater” for Christian Century,

“The Great Society Myths” in Commonweal and “What’s Right with Christians?” for McCalls. He has been a special deputy attorney general in New York for election frauds and consultant to the New York State Commission on Human Rights. Stringfellow’s lectures on the campus here are sponsored by DePauw and are open to the public as well as to the ministers and students. Others appearing on the State Pastors Conference program include Dr. William F. May, professor and chairman of the new Program in the Study of Religion at Indiana University; Father Roland E. Murphy, professor of Old Testament at Catholic University; and Dr. Charles B. Ashanin, associate professor of Early Church History in the Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis. All lectures and sermons will be presented in Gobin Church on the campus. Conference officers are the Rev. Clarence B. Fike, South Bend, president; the Rev, W. Robert Lewis, Seymour, vice president; the Rev. David Turnbull, Jr., Danville, vice president: and Dr. Grover L. Hartman, Indianapolis secretary-treasurer.

LBJ sends Congress record budget; renews plea for hike in taxes

WASHINGTON UPI—Declaring that the costly Vietnam war compels America to make “hard choices,” President Johnson today sent Congress a $185.1 billion budget providing only “selective increases” for priority domestic programs. He urgently renewed his plea for a 10 per cent income tax surcharge, and warned that the alternative is to pay rising war costs through the hidden tax of inflation. In a budget message devoid of a single reference to the Great Society, he said that “we cannot do everything we would wish to do” at home while spending $72 million a day fighting “an obstinate foe” in Vietnam. Despite what Johnson called “rigorous screening” of domestic programs, it was the biggest federal spending budget in U.S. history — up $10.5 billion from the current fiscal year. The biggest item was $79.8 billion for defense, including $26.3 for Vietnam. Government income for the 1969 fiscal year, which begins next July 1, was estimated at $178.1 billion, up $22.3 billion from the current year. But this estimate assumes that Congress will enact $12.9 billion in tax increases requested by the President. Even if the President gets his tax hikes, the budget will be $8 billion in the red. But the deficit would soar to more than $20 billion if Congress balks at an election year tax increase — as it now seems disposed to do. West coast lashed by Pacific storm United Press International A new Pacific storm lashed the West Coast and snow buffeted the East, while mild—for January—temperatures dom.inated the nation today. The unusually high temperatures for this time of year may be partly responsible for the storm activity, according to the Weather Bureau. Heavy snow fell over the interior mountains of southern Oregon and northern California, and gale warnings were displayed along the California coast. Wind driven rains brought gusts of up to 58 miles per hour at Cape Blanco, Ore., Sunday night, while rain totalled almost three inches in a 24-hour period. Travelers warnings were extended to include the central and southern Sierra Nevadas, where the U.S. Weather Bureau predicted increasing snow and winds later today. Thunderstorms and showers plagued the Ozarks to Iowa and Minnesota while snow and freezing drizzle fell in the Northern Plains and upper Midwest. Heavy snow warnings were issued for extreme northern Minnesota, where accumulations of four inches or more were forecast, and hazardous driving warnings remained in effect for other sections of western and northern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota. Dense fog hampered air and highway travel in parts of the Midwest while snow, sleet and freezing rain created transportation difficulties in northeast New York and New England. Travelers’ warnings continued in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, northeast New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. An Arctic chill covered the northern Rockies and Plains while mostly clear skies pervaded the desert Southwest and Southeast. Temperatures around the country at 2 a.m. ranged from 18 below zero at Glasgow, Mont, to 71 at Miami, Fla. Other temperatures were Chicago. 44, New York City, 35, Detroit, 39, Kansas City, 60 and Denver 30. Dr. Schneider takes Pennsylvania post Dr. Michael C. Schneider, assistant professor of Geology, has resigned from the faculty of DePauw University to accept a position as professor at Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania, starting February, 1968. Dr. Schneider has been on the faculty at DePauw for 9 1 2 years and has participated in field conferences and conducted research in varied aspects of Geology associated with the Geology Departments of Florida State University, University of South Dakota, Indiana University, Colorado School Mines, Brigham Young University, and the Water Resources Research Center at Indiana University. In the community Dr. Schneider has been active in Gobin Methodist Church, Boy Scout Troop 43, and Cub Pack 43.

In addition to a 10 per cent surcharge on individual and corporation income taxes, Johnson asked extension of present auto and telephone excise taxes (now scheduled to drop April 1), a speedup in collection of corporation taxes, and heavier levies on big trucks which, he said, are not now paying their “fair share” of highway costs. Aware that his tax proposals face tough sledding, the President emphasized that “one way or the other we will be taxed” to finance the Vietnam war. The only question, he said, is whether it will be done “responsible” through temporary tax increases which could be repealed promptly when war costs subside, or whether Americans will “choose to accept the arbitrary and capricious tax levied by inflation.” Total defense costs would be $79.8 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion over the current year. Defense was much the

SEOUL UPI—Red China and North Korea today said the United States is risking a new Asian war in the crisis over the seizure of the USS Pueblo and its 83-man crew. American commanders reported four more North Korean shooting violations of U.S. lines on the Korean truce border Sunday and today and predicted Red raiding would intensify. Military sources said they doubted North Korea would dare a major invasion. The vice president of North Korea, Kang Ryang, was quoted today as saying his government would “severely punish” the Pueblo’s 83-man crew. The State Department last Friday warned the Communists that any action against the crewmen would be considered a "deliberate aggravation of an already serious situation.” On the diplomatic front, South Korean TV talent auditions at DePauw Feb. 14 Auditions for WISH-TV "Campus Talent” project will be held on the DePauw University campus Wednesday, February 14 in Meharry Hall.

biggest item in the budget, amounting to 43 per cent of the total. The only big increase in domestic spending was in the category of “health, labor and welfare” for which Johnson earmarked $51.4 billion, $5 billion more than the current year. Most of the increase was due to the higher Social Security benefits which Congress enacted last year and growing costs of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Johnson asked an increase of $442 million in appropriations for manpower programs, with particular emphasis on job training for the hard-core unemployed. Only one other domestic program showed a really substantial rise. Expenditures for housing and community development would be doubled, from $700 million to $1.4 billion. The extra money would go into various federal housing programs aimed at construction of 300,000 new homes during the coming fiscal year.

officials dismissed as “sheer nonsense” reports that they trade captured Communist agents for the Pueblo crewmen. In New Delhi, visiting Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin described the Pueblo crisis as “a minor affair” to be settled between the United States and North Korea. American forces continued beefing up their 50,000-man garrison below the 15-year-old Korean war armistice line. In Washington, the Pentagon said Sunday some U.S. military units “have been alerted for possible movement” to Korea. Here, following the arrival of up to 100 F4 Phantoms and F105 Thunderchiefs, U.S. Air Force commanders said they are preparing for any further warplane reinforcements. Japanese newspapers reported in Tokyo the U.S. heavy cruiser Canberra and other battle line naval warships have left Japan for “unknown destinations” presumed to be Korean waters, where a multi-carrier American naval task force has been reported gathering. Peking Radio and Pyongyang Radio broadcast the accusations that the United States was risking a new Korean war. In an official Chinese Communist statement. Peking Radio said, “U.S. imperialism seems to have forgotten the lesson it learned from the last Korean war.” It said the Chinese Communist regime stands behind North Korea “in counterattacking U.S. imperialism’s crazy provocations.” Pyongyang Radio, broadcasting an editorial from the official newspaper Rodong Shinmun, said the Pueblo incident Jan. 23 was “a link in the chain of the planned maneuverings of U.S. imperialism to unleash a new war in Korea and grave menace to peace in the Far East and the rest of the world.” Mediterranean holds fate of two subs NICOSIA, Cyprus UPI — Searcher* picked up underwater signals in the eastern Mediterranean that may have come from the missing Israeli submarine Dakar, a British spokesman said today. At the opposite end of the Mediterranean there was no trace reported of the missing French submarine Minerve. The British Royal Air Force is coordinating from its Eipskipi base on Cyprus the multi-nation search for the 1.500-ton conventional Israeli submarine Dakar, missing since Thursday with 69 men aboard. When last contacted, Dakar was in waters that run as deep as 6.000 feet, well past her safety depth. Israeli, British, American and Greek planes and ships joined the search for Dakar, last reported southeast of Cyprus. The French declined help in searching for the 1,040-ton conventional submarine Minerve, last reported Saturday about 20 miles off Toulon. Fiance, in waters 8,200 feet deep with 52 men aboard. Minerve, 7 years old. cannot dive deeper than 1,700 feet, the French navy said.
