The Weather Bureau said it should blow out of the area by evening, after leaving one or two inches of additional snow, and be followed by frigid air expected to drop the mercury to 10 to 15 degrees below zero by Thursday morning.

Opponents said this would lead to needless and expensive duplication of functions, especially at the graduate level, with Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. The name change was recommended by the State Board of Regents. The bill now goes to the House. "It will certainly cost us more," said Sen. Eugene Hill, D-Newton in opposing the change.

Sen. Joseph Cassidy, D-Wal-cott, quoted SCI President J. W. Maucker as saying the change would mean a cost increase of 10 to 15 per cent. "It's a fact of life that university status makes it easier to get better people," Cassidy said.

Maucker told the Board of Regents when the change first was suggested, "Some prospective faculty members won't even look at State College, because all their other offers are from universities." The measure also puts into the code a new description of the schools function. Present law says it is primarily to prepare teachers and says nothing Today in Iowa Legislature By Associated Press SENATE Passed a bill to change the name of State College of Iowa to University of Northern Iowa and enact a broader description of the school's responsibility, The bill goes to the House.

The change was almost too much to bear for Sioux Cityans who had been basking in three days of spring-like weather.

The temperature dropped 61 degrees in 24 hours, from 60 Tuesday noon to 1 below this noon. Although there wasn't a great deal of snow accumulation, driving was made hazardous by visibility ranging from a mile to a half mile and slippery spots on some highways in the area. The snow is expected to end by mid-afternoon and the wind to start gradually dimimsning bv evening. It should be partly cloudy tonight and Thursday, The snow was moving rapidly eastward, with heavier amounts of snow to the north, and should end in most parts of the state by tonight. Sibley recorded 5 below zero this morning and was getting PLANE HITS BUILDING IN CHICAGO: 2 DIE CHICAGO tTI A single-en gine airplane slammed into two highrise apartments in dense fog today and the two men aboard the plane were killed.

They were identified by police as Clarence Elliott, 28, of Kiel, the pilot, and Charles Brickner, 38, of Sheboygan falls Wis. The identifications were made from personal papers found in the plane's wreckage The plane virtually disinte grated, scattering sections over a 200-foot-square area of Sheridan road along the Lake Mich igan shore. None of the apartment dwellers, pedestrians or work-bound motorists on heavily traveled Sheridan road were injured. Damage to the apartment buildings, the 29-story Holly wood Towers at 5701 Sheridan Road, and the Horizon House, a 30-story structure at 5733 Sheridan Road, was minor. Show Here general's office issued an opin ion saying there is nothing in the State Constitution to bar the name change.

The Senate also passed 40-18 a bill to change the name of the State Department of Public In struction to the State Depart ment of Education and rename the State Board of Public In struction the State Board of Ed ucation. It would designate the depart ment's chief executive the state commissioner of education instead of state superintendent of public instruction. The bill goes to the House. Bill to Retain Standard Time in Kansas Dies TOPEKA, Kan. I.T1 The Kansas House killed Tuesday a bill to keep Kansas on standard time.

The bill was stricken from the House calendar after members voted 71-44 against recommending the measure for passage. Under the Federal Uniform Time Act of 1966. the state must go on daylight time along with other portions of the nation this summer unless the legislature exempts the entire state from this provision. The bill to exempt Kansas and keep it on standard time was supported by agricultural, the ater and restaurant interests primarily. Legislators along Missouri border considered it almost certain Missouri would be on daylight time and feared there would be great confusion if adjoining Kansas communities were on standard time.

The Kansas City metropolitan area straddles the state line. Aims Measure at Minors Purchasing 'Lettuce' Smokes Journ -I Staff Writtr DES MOINES Minors have been attempting to purchase "lettuce" cigarettes in some cities, says Rep. Irvin L. Berg man, R-Harris, and he would change the state law to prohibit this. Present law, Rep.

Bergman said, refers only to cigarettes made from tobacco. He would add the so-called "lettuce" cigarettes to those banned for sale to minors. Bergman said many mer chants have refused to sell the "lettuce" cigarettes to minors although they legally could do so. He expects a favorable re- oort soon from the House Law Enforcement Committee. Koreans Rout North Regulars SAIGON South Korean Marines reported killing North Vietnamese regulars today in a three-hour battle through rice paddies about 340 miles northeast of Saigon.

It was the biggest battle in recent months in Vietnam. In the Mekong delta south of Saigon, Vietnamese authorities reported a combined Army- Ranger unit killed 56 Viet Cong in a pitched battle Tuesday. But in the Long Tau River the main shipping channel into Saigon 24 American sailors were wound ed and one was missing when guerrillas sank one 80-foot U.S minesweeper, badly damaged two others and fired on a fourth. Planes Attack North In the air war today, U.S. jet pilots raced through a clear sky today for attacks on North Vietnam, screened through much of the winter by mon soon clouds.

A Tass dispatch said squadrons flew over Hanoi and bombed and strafed "economic targets and populated areas in the provinces neighbor-; ing on Hanoi." The U.S. command, which or dinarily conducts briefings on air operations the day after they take place, declined to comment on the Soviet news agency's report. A Korean spokesman said two companies of Korean Marines! about 400 men took moderate casualties in the big battle this morning against an estimated 1,200 North Vietnamese attack ers. The Koreans were pursuing the North Vietnamese tonight, he reported. One company of Koreans was See KOREANS, Page A 7 Prepare for I and extension services.

The new description of respon sibility says the school's pri mary task is teacher preparation but says it also shall "offer undergraduate and graduate courses of Instruction, conduct research and provide extension and other public services in areas of its competence to fa cilitate the social, cultural and economic development of Iowa." SCI now offers the bachelor's and master's degrees and officials have said may offer doc torates within 10 years. The path for a Senate vote Delegation Split Over 2-Year Plan By KENNETH E. SANDERS Journal Managing Editor DES MOINES Woodbury county representatives in the Iowa House of Representatives had some clashing opinions Tuesday on a proposal under which cities could vote every two years on whether they wanted to retain their form of government. Rep. Leonard Anderson, Sioux City, chairman of the Towns and Cities Committee which considered the proposal, spoke briefly to the House to call the proposal a "very bad piece of legislation." On the rollcall by which the measure was soundly defeated by 95 to 17, only Anderson and Rep.

Bert Fullerton, R-Correc tionville, from Woodbury Coun-j ty, voted with the majority to defeat the proposal. Reps. Ed-j gar Koch and Charles Sullivan both Sioux City Republicans and Louis Peterson, R-Lawton, voted in favor. Rep. Anderson told the House that "city officials would be harrassed and bombarded by petitions to overthrow their government every two years" under the proposal.

He also pointed out that councilmen are elected for four-year terms. The measure, of which the chief sponsor was Rep. Walter McNamara, D-Cedar Rapids, was on the House calendar without a committee recommendation. Anderson said he was confident that a majority of the committee would have voted to postpone the bill indefinitely, but at the time of considgra tion there was little business before the house and there were pleas to let it go to the floor to "get some action. In response to a question, An derson said, "In Sioux City we See WOODBURY, Page A 7 Students stopped a red light that turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare for these five boys.

It started out with a friendly bumper tap from behind. Terry turned around. "Who's said Skip. Terry rolled down the window, took a look, and said he didn't know them. As the light turned green, Skip was pushed through the in tersection and forced to pull over to the side.

He opened the door to see five teenagers hop out of the car and head for him. "They were ugly looking things," says Skip, "with hair to their shoulders and dark clothes." Two of them ran for Skip while the other three surrounded the car, kicking the framework and beating on the door with a monkey wrench. Bob Trauger was in the middle of the back seat. This is how he saw it: "At first we couldn't believe it. It was sorta like a night-marc.

They were like animals, beating on Skip. One guy raked him across the face with an iron bar and tried to pull him out of the car. The other guy just kept on punching at Smith. Terry was hanging on to Trenz but there wasn't much me or Louis could do; we were too far away." 50 mile-an-hour winds along with Spencer and other north west Iowa communities. Morning snowfall in South Da kota ranged from 10 inches ot Pierre to an inch at Rapid Ctty and Aberdeen and schools were closed in several parts of the state.

Morning lows included 15 below at Watertown and 13 below at Huron. In Nebraska, drifting snow was reported in the Atkinson-Ainsworth area, and there were slippery spots and poor visibility there and at Valentine, Norfolk and Columbus. The mercury isn't expected to get much below zero in eastern Nebraska. Most of southern Minnesota had 2 to 8 inches of new snow by this morning and low visibility closed scores of schools. While all roads were open, driving was considered risky in that state.

See Letdown of Reservists by Pentagon WASHINGTON ffl-The House Armed Services Committee to day charged the Johnson administration with failure to provide "meaningful and understanding support" of the nation's National Guard and reserve military forces. i In a report on a "reserve Bill of Rights," the committee said various organizatonal changes made by the Defense Department "have succeeded in creating chaos and instability in the programs without any apprecia ble increase in combat readi ness." "The morale of dedicated reservists has steadily eroded to the point where the very future of the reserve component structure has become questionable," the report said. The bill, approved 39 to 1 by the committee, is similar to one passed by the House 322 to 6 at the last session of Congress but not acted upon by the Senate. In general, the bill is designed fo establish by statute an organizational structure of the reserves that would make them more ready for possible callup. Congressional action comes against a background of the announced plan of Secretary of Defense Robert S.

McNamara two years ago to eliminate all drilling units of the Army Reserve and transfer some Army units to the National Guard. But opposition flared from congressmen, and the plan has not been put into effect. FCC GRANTS UHF APPLICATION FOR SIOUX CITY The Federal Communications Commission today granted to Medallion Broadcasters, Inc. permission to construct a third TV station in Sioux City, the firm reported. The new station will operate from a tower with a million watts of power on Channel 14.

Robert B. Donovan, president of the group of 22 Iowa residents who applied for the new TV station, predicted that the UHF facility will be on the air in September with a third network service and color programming. Modern studios in the city are being planned and personnel assembled, Mr. Donovan advised. Other officers of Medallion Broadcasters are Edgar F.

Mrs. Powell Flies to U.S., Will Testify MIAMI, Fla. Itfl-Adam Clayton Powell's estranged third wife flew to the United States today' fom Puerto Rico and said she would cooperate with the House investigation of her husband. "I think it's my duty," Mrs.

Marjorie Flores Powell told reporters after landing in Miami for a stopover before going to Washington. Wearing a red knit dress and a black fur coat, she said she had not seen her husband for more than a year. Asked if she knew Corrine Huff, Powell's 25-year-old former beauty queen secretary, Mrs. Powell said: "I don't want to talk about her." Mrs. Powell said she did not know she was wanted for ques tioning in the House investiga tion until she read about it in a newspaper.

She was accompanied by her Reinaldo Paniagua, and a U.S. marshal from Puerto Rico. With only eight days left un til it must report to the House whether the Harlem congress man is entitled to take his seat, a select House investigating committee is trying to de cipher the purpose and activ ities of Huff Enterprises a Bahamian corporation that does business from Powell's office. Its president is Miss Huff. Asked if the committee knew what Huff Enterprises does, as sociate counsel Robert P.

Pat terson Jr. told a reporter in Washington Tuesday: "no sir." Two other women subpoenaed by the committee, Miss Huff and former Powell receptionist Emma T. Swann, both Huff Enterprises stockholders, have not appeared. Rep. Vernon W.

Thomson, a committee member, urged today that C. Summer-stone, a Powell aide and Huff Enterprises stockholder be asked under oath what he knows about Huff Enterprises. Thomson said Stone might be able to clear up some of the mystery about the firm. if -V' rr Corrine A.

React Hotly in CIA Case Disclosure LLJ Orders Spy Group to Close Student Setup WASHINGTON IB-Disclosure that the government's top espionage agency financed activities abroad by the ntion's largest college ud organization brought howls of protest today and demands for a prompt investigation. Eight house Democrats urged an inquiry "at the highest level" into the secret funding by the Central Intelligence Agency of the National Student Associa tion's participation in world stu dent conferences. LBJ Intervenes The New York Times report ed that President Johnson intervened in the controversy and instructed the CIA Tuesday to close out all secret programs of aid to student groups, according to government officials. The officials said the Presi dent had also called for a review of all other programs in tended to combat communist activities in private organizations, the Times reported. The organization, wlffise board of directors said it was shocked by the disclosure, received an estimated $200,000 a year during most of the undercover relationship, which lasted more than 10 years.

The desk captain made a report which read: "Be on the lookout for a 1935- 56 Buick with a white top and a light green bottom; four, or five subjects struck the rear of the complainant's car at the above ocation (1100 block of Nebraska Street) and when the com plainant dismounted to check for any damages, he was beset and assaulted by two occupants of the other car. One assailant described as having long blond hair.

All subjects had ex tra long hair. Also damage to the windshield bv hitting it with an iron pipe and also the left rear window." At the conclusion of the re port, the officer listed the names of the other students with Trenz. The desk captain issued a look-out order for all the police cars, but it was not located that night. The report ultimately was referred to the vouth bureau, but, according to Sgt. Mike Lar son, the officers, without a li cense number, did not have much to go on.

Had the car been located, he said, the Westmar students would have had to make identification of the occupants before charges could have been filed. 'No One Came lo Help9 Comics 10, 11 America's First Ambassador to Russia Dies PARIS IP) William C. Bullitt, first U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, died today. He was 76 and had been ill for months with leukemia.

Bullitt had been weakening steadily since his case became desperate nearly two weeks aeo. Plans to fly him home were canceled Tuesday night when he went into a coma. Bullitt was an early advocate of stern measures to curb both Nazism in Germany and com munism as it developed in Rus sia and later in mainland Chi na. At the end of World War I he was a harsh critic of the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles, by which he once said the world "has been sold into another century of war."

It concerns an incident which occurred in the early morning hours of Feb. 4 on Sioux City's famous "loop," long a nighttime sore spot for police officers and the average motorist alike.

It was written by Jim Cerone, a Westmar College sophomore, and is printed here courtesy of Carter Pitts, publisher of the LeMars Daily Sentinel. An account of action by Sioux City police will be found at the end of the article. A person can't help but wonder sometimes. He begins to wonder about all this talk of ethics and religion, and then he sees something happen like what happened to Skip Trenz and a few of his friends last Friday night and then he really wonders. Skip was driving his '63 Chevy In Sioux City when he approached the intersection of 11th and Nebraska streets.

The car was quiet. Terry Bruce was sitting in the front, staring out the window; Dave Smith, Bob Tnuiger, and Louis Rcssclli were in the back. It was just an "Skip grabbed the gear shift and threw it into reverse. They still hung on. We were sitting in the middle of the intersection, cars all around us; we yelled for help, but nobody came.

One of them kicked in the back window and the other guy kept after Trenz. They had to be drunk. He ripped off Skip's sweater. And if anything gets Trenz mad it's getting his clothes torn so he hit the guy once, And the longhaired kook started to reach in his jacket for something saying 'Now I'm gonna get you for good!" Skip grabbed for low gear, popped the clutch and took off. They threw a bottle at us and cracked the windshield.

We were too scared to turn around didn't see any license plate or anything." It turned out that there was close to $300 worth of damage to the car. Skip came out with a slight concussion, a black eye, and a cheek fracture. That's how it happened. Now a week later, the vandals are still free, and all those people who stood by and watched everything are home, either kicking themselves for not grab bing a license number, or more likely glad thev didn get in volved. Oh well, we talk religion anyhow.
