Robert Fichenberg, said the Oklahoma City newspaper, accused the Army of a "monu-mental effort" to hide the facts of the My Lai killings and charged that continued suppression of the report appears to be "a cover-up by the defense department to protect its own."

Both new supplemental application forms and new criteria have yet to be made available by the federal government on revised regulations dealing with "student need," according to Mrs. Ruth E. Jopp, HEAC executive secretary. "Until Washington acts, our hands are tied," she said, but added, "We hope to have these applications processed within the time limits" so that loans will be available for the fall semester. She said that some 15,000 applications already received by HEAC will be processed without delay.

"We hope to have them sometime in July," she said, but noted that, as a matter of policy, loan funds are not dispersed for the fall semester prior to August 15. The corporation makes the final decision on whether to approve a student loan after the application has been processed by the school and lending institution. The loans are guaranteed by HEAC, and replayment does not start until nine months after graduation. Liquor Panel Invitations T)o-V OtIP 'J 1 VFUC HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -Invitations went out to the 103 suppliers of liquor and wine to Penssylvania to appear before the Liquor Control Board and justify price increases.

Only one bothered to show up, the board's chief counsel says. "It is my judgment that this is another example of the same sort of conspiracy of the distilling industry to keep the prices of distilled spirits artificially high to their buyers," Alexander Jaffurs said Thursday. He admitted, however, their presence at the hearing, held Wednesday, wasn't mandatory and that all the suppliers filed letters of justification of price increases with the board. Some suppliers are proposing increasing the price of about 200 items as much as $1 a bottle. Additional costs would be passed on to the consumer, if approved by the board, Jaffurs said.
