With the support of its Negro students, Harvard university has moved toward the establishment of a full degree program in American Negro studies on a par with all other academic disciplines. The establishment of such a program, open to all students, was the chief recommendation of a special faculty panel which reported yesterday after nine months of study and consultation With Negro student leaders at Harvard. The committee also urged significant changes in Harvard's social, cultural, recruitment and investment structure to enhance the status of Negroes. The eight-iraember faculty panel first sought to determine if Negro studies constitute an intellectually valid academic discipline. It concluded: "We are dealing with 25 million of our own people with a -special history, culture and range of problems.

It can hardly be doubted that the study of black men in America is a Volunteer Army Bill Introduced By Nine Senators Republican Mark Hatfield, one of bipartisan sponsors, charges draft 'drastic invasion of individual Proposal includes $100 a month pay increase, better training, promotion opportunities to encourage enlistment. Washington (ff) A bill to abolish the draft and provide inducements to maintain a volunteer professional Army was reintroduced, in revised form, in the Senate yesterday. Sen. Mark T. Hatfield, principal sponsor of the measure, called the draft system "militarily Inefficient" and "a drastic invasion of Individual liberty." He was joined by a bipartisan group of eight 'co-sponsors.

Hatfield noted that President Nixon has supported the idea of an all-volunteer Army. But Nixon has set this as a goal only after the Vietnam war. The Oregon senator said the volunteer service system, bolstered by pay raises of $100 a month for enlisted personnel and improvements in educational, social and recreational opportunities, "would provide an efficient military force with emphasis on quality rather than quantity." In addition to pay raises, the bill would provide for in-service education for enlistees as technical, vocational and college levels. There would be increased emphasis on officer training for men in the ranks and reduction of time in grade and in service for promotion eligibility. Another provision would accelerate substitution of civilians for non-combat military personnel.

Under the bill, the draft would end (Continued on Page Forty-Seven) See Volunteer Pa.

Los Angeles (iR Skies dried over rain-ravaged California yesterday as searchers hunted survivors in a canyon where six boys and four men-trapped on a bulldozer in a raging creek were carried away one by one. All were feared dead. A survivor told of how members of the group, yielding to numbing cold and the clutch of rising waters, "just slipped away." New rain was forecast for northern areas tomorrow.

There was no statewide damage estimate from four days of downpours, but it was expected to reach millions of dollars because of widespread landslides, cave-ins, washouts, floodings of buildings, toppled trees and signs, damaged power facilities and destruction of crops. In the Los Angeles suburb of Glendora, overnight floodwaters from mountains denuded by a brush fire last year carried mud and stones into a housing tract, damaging more than 100 homes. Some were filled with up to six feet of mud and one collapsed. The bulldozer was trapped in Sespe creek in Ventura county's Los Padres National forest northwest of Los Angeles. It happened as a Navy Sea-bee, a sheriff's deputy and a 'forest ranger were bringing out campers trapped by the storm.

The American Red Cross estimated that 1,200 families were affected by floooding in the state. About 700 families received assistance including food and shelter.

Pastore charges Alaska governor 'industry-minded not consumer-minded Hickel sits in on cabinet meeting. New York Times News Service Washington President Nixon presided yesterday at the swearing in of 11 members of his cabinet. Confirmation of the 12th was again delayed in the Senate.

The missing man was Secretary of the Interior-designate Gov. Walter J. Hickel of Alaska, who came under renewed attacks in the Senate for his views of conservation. The Senate agreed late yesterday to vote on Hickel today. Hickel's opponents, mainly Democrats, conceded that he would be confirmed, but they viewed their attack as putting a cloud over the governor and a restraint upon his actions as secretary in the field of natural resources, including oil and minerals, and upon the uses to which vast federally owned lands will be put.

Hickel, a 49-year-old millionaire who made his money in real estate and construction, nevertheless sat in with the first meeting of Nixon's cabinet. It lasted three hours and covered a wide range of subjects, including the Johnson administration's budget for the fiscal year starting next June, taxes and information policies to be followed by the administration.

(Continued on Page Forty-Seven) See Cabinet Government Loses First Court Ruling In Armour Battle Chicago Federal District Judge Julius J. Hoffman denied a government request or a temporary restraining order to block efforts of the General Host corporation to gain control of Armour company. Judge Hoffman said a 1920 consent decree prohibiting Armour and other major meat packers from dealing in foods other than meat did not apply. The Justice department filed an anti-trust suit here Monday charging that a take-over by General Host would violate the decree, which had forced the country's five largest meat packers to divest themselves of other food lines. Hoffman said the 1920 consent decree did not apply because Armour would be a subsidiary rather than the parent company if General Host acquired control.

He said the decree prohibited meat packers from ganing a controlling, interest in the food commodities market "but does not say the converse." Armour supported the government's position. Allis-Chalmers Is Denied Injunction Had sought preliminary in- junction in District court to bar White Consolidated Industries from acquiring A-C stock. Wilmington, Del (ffl U.S. District Court Judge Caleb Wright yesterday denied a motion by Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing company, Milwaukee, for a preliminary injunction barring White Consolidated Industries, Cleveland, from acoiiring additional A-C stock. Allis-Chalmers had asked for a preliminary Injunction to restrain White from voting any A stock it controls, for acquiring or attempting to acquire additional A-C stock, and from selling the stock in a manner that would injure the Milwaukee-based firm.

(Locally," Allis-Chalmers has two plant facilitieslocated at 500 Lincoln street and East Berlin road. Before acquisition by A-C, it was the S. Morgan Smith company.) Judge Wright based his decision on A-C's presentation, which he said failed to prove White had violated U.S. anti-trust laws. White, a conglomerate, acquired 3,284,000 shares of A-C stock from Gulf Western Industries Dec.

6. The complaint of Allis-Chalmers, maker of capital and consumer goods, said White's principal officers then informed A-C officials that White intended to acquire all their stock and take over the business as soon as, possible. Two More Selected For Shaw Trial Jury New Orleans (ffl Two more men with pay guaranteed were added yesterday to the jury in the trial of Clay L. Shaw, charged with conspiring to murder President John F. Kennedy.

Because of the possible length of the trialup to two months acceptable prospects were few and far between. Before passing any potential jurors on the interrogation by the state and defense, Judge Edward A. Haggerty Jr. of Criminal Dstrict Court first checked If their income would continue while they served. The Judge and opposing attorneys all expressed concern about the financial hardship that jury service could cause since Orleans parish does not reimburse jurors.
