Vice President Hubert Humphrey said Monday that recent intense fighting along the Demilitarized Zone of South Vietnam is the result of Communist displeasure with allied success in pacification of the area. WASHINGTON The Supreme Court granted a new hearng to James R. Hoffa, the Teamster’s Union president on his mail fraud conviction. President Johnson tapped Alexander B. Trowbridge Monday to move up from acting secretary to secretary of commerce. State Department officials warned Monday against any interference with shipping to Isreal. Republicans, seeking a new approach to federal educa tion aid were told Monday they are reviving a church-state controversy that could end federal assistance to the schools. INTERNATIONAL Thousands of police, spearheaded by heavily armed units in trucks and armored cars and aided by a curfew, forced a night of peace upon Hong Kong Monday after an- | other day of violent Communist-lead anti-British riots. Red China Monday ordered the British diplomatic of fice in Shanghai closed and gave the official in charge 48 hours to quit the city. TEXAS The compromise committee working on a 1968 spend ing bill marked time Monday while the state comptroller looked for some more money. A spokesman for the comptroller’s department said con- [sideration was being given to boosting the 1968 revenue estimate through a “bookkeeping bill” similar to one passed by the 1959 legislature. U.

THROUGH THE RING An Aggie senior gives his date a kiss as they pass through the traditional giant Aggie Ring during the Ring Dance Saturday in Sbisa. As the senior goes through the ring, his date takes his ring and turns it around so that the set faces away. SAIGON (A>)_U. S. planes streamed over North Vietnam Monday and smashed at targets near Hanoi, ignoring the first day of a Communist cease-fire. Pilots said a MIG21 was downed in a dogfight. Hanoi radio claimed six U. S. planes were shot down while attacking “densely populated quarters” in the center and vi cinity of the North Vietnamese capital. There was no confirma tion in Saigon. As Tuesday began, the U. S., South Vietnamese and allied forces suspended all operations for 24 hours in honor of Buddha’s birthday. The Communists had called for a truce Monday and Tuesday. How successful the Tuesday cease-fire would be was prob lematical. The Communists broke their truce Monday. They launched a heavy attack in the central high lands, blew up a South Vietnam ese military train, causing light casualties, and engaged in scat tered clashes elsewhere. NO FRESH action was report ed in the demilitarized zone. Tass, the Soviet news agency, said U. S. planes hit northern and southern sections of Hanoi Proposals Made By Aggies For Three Aerospace Designs CHARLES ROWTON 5% per year paid on all savings at Bryan Bvdld- B R - & l. i n E & Loan Assn. Adv. Proposals have been made by Texas A&M students doing aero space vehicle design for three spe cial-purpose airplanes to be built in Texas. One design specifies a freight aircraft for transporting 8 by 8 by 40 foot standard trailer-hauled containers directly from producers Saturday Signals End For Seniors Saturday signals the end of books, studies and class schedules for almost 1,000 Texas A&M graduates. For the other 90 per cent of the student body, it’s the point to begin digging in, for final examinations. Semester tests be gin next Monday morning and continue through June 3. Highlighting the graduates’ last official day at A&M are com mencement at 9 a.m., commission ing 1:30 p.m. and final review at 3 p.m. Gulf Oil Corporation board chairman Del Brockett will speak at commencement. Commission ing speaker is the Air University commander, Lt. Gen. John W. Carpenter III. Cadet Corps members assume 1967-68 privileges during Final Review. Nevt year’s seniors have their Boot Dance Saturday night. to markets in large cities. The craft would eliminate expensive warehousing and trans-shipments. “This plane would also be used to supply the giant C5A aircraft that will be used in the late 1960s for freight transportation,” Prof. Charles Rodenberger of aerospace engineering, said. A second design submitted by students satisfies needs of small commuter airlines, such as Davis Airlines of Bryan and College Station, by providing a 20-passen- ger ship weighing less than 12,500 pounds. The plane would serve in feeder operations from small communities to major transporta tion hubs. The third proposal is for an amphibious airplane designed for the hunter and fisherman wishing access to remote lake areas. “This plane is an 1,800-pound two-place amphibious type that would sell for less than $15,000,” Rodenberger explained. Class members had a luncheon meeting with Engineering Dean J. Benson and faculty members to discuss the curriculum as reflect ed by reports. Industrial representatives from LTV, General Dynamics, Martin Denver, TRW Systems, the Fed eral Aviation Agency, Bell Heli copter, Aero Commander and Mooney Aircraft judged complet ed projects and consulted with class members on proposal preparation. Aggie Sends Note Via Viet Bomb Hoy A. Richards, an associate research engineer in the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M, asked a friend to do him a favor in Vietnam. Capt. Glenn Jones, A&M Class of ’61 from Dallas, was glad to oblige. He scrawled a message on a 1,000-pound bomb. “To Ho From Hoy.” Richards, a captain in the Air Force Reserve, assumes Jones de livered the message via a drop from his F-105 Tunderchief. Students For Fall Must Request Draft Standings Male Texas A&M students ex pecting to re-enroll as deferred students next September must request notification of class standing to their local Selective Service board before the end of the semester, Registrar H. L. Heaton announced. Requests should be turned in at the Registrar’s Office, on the first floor of the Coke Building, Heaton added. Local boards use class stand ing to determine each student’s eligibility for II-S deferment classification. The information must be turned in to local boards during the summer. M. E. Assoc. Prof Wins $1,400 Award Dr. Thomas J. Kozik, associate professor of mechanical engineer ing, is the winner of a $1,400 General Dynamics Award for ex cellence in engineering teaching. Dr. Kozik received the award in ceremonies Friday in the School of Architecture Audi torium. Making the award for General Dynamics was M. M. Alexander, manager of structural loads, dynamics and materials. Selection of the General Dy namics Award winner was by the College of Engineering Executive Committee following recommen dations by department heads. During the past three years at A&M, Dr. Kozik has divided his time between teaching and re search. His research in the field of thin elastic anisotropic shells is supported by the Manned Spacecraft Center of NASA. Sev eral graduate students are assist ing in the research. Dr. C. M. Simmang, Mechan ical Engineering Department head, describes Dr. Kozik as a master teacher and effective re searcher. “His interest and enthusiasm does not stop wtih graduate level course work, but reaches into the undergraduate program,” Sim mang commented. “He handles a section or two of undergradu ate mechanics each semester in addition to a graduate course in vibrations and/or structural me chanics.” Kozik is a member of the Struc tural Mechanics Committee and is chairman of the Metzger Gun Collection in A&M Memorial Stu dent Center. in “massive bombings.” The U. S. Air Force listed no targets, but said the aerial war against North Vietnam was pressed with out letup, with the usual number of missions flown. The Air Force planned to fly only reconnaissance missions over North Viet Nam Tuesday. The MIG shot down near Hanoi was the 71st to be blasted from the skies in aerial combat. It was bagged by a two-man crew of a Phantom jet, Lt. Col. Robert F. Titus, 39, Hampton, Va., and Lt. Milan Zimer, 29, Canton, Ohio. It was their second MIG in three days. The U. S. Air Force did not say whether any American planes were lost over North Vietnam. This information usually is held up at least 24 hours to permit attempts to rescue any downed pilots. THE CZECHOSLOVAK news agency CTK said in a dispatch from Hanoi that the North Viet namese capital was left without electricity and water after Sun day’s U. S. air raid badly dam aged a power plant. The action in the highlands in volved troops of the U. S. 4th Infantry Division. While prepar ing to move out on a sweep mis sion 33 miles southwest of Pleiku, two companies came under heavy mortar and rocket fire. First re ports said 15 American infantry men were killed and 71 wounded. Thirty-two North Vietnamese soldiers were reported killed in the fighting that followed. The U. S. Command said contact was broken shortly before noon, but other accounts said fighting flared later in the day. University National Bank “On the side of Texas A&M” —Adv.
