War 2. Hopes to Stamp Out Hunger Continued from Page 1 Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Robert H. Finch testified the administration is united in support of the expanded food programs but said thc long range solution to hunger and poverty depends on comprehensive welfare reform that emphasizes pulling cash into the pockets of thc poor. An immediate critical analy sis from the committee staff Tuesday contended the million boost next year will not accomplish much. The staff, is drafting paper designed to show exactly what thc sum would do in terms of people fed, "It's not much In terms of what Sen.

Kennedy could help foes of the Nixon administration Safeguard proposal. The report concluded: "The system, even if considerably expanded and upgraded over tiie years following initial deploy, ment, cannot perform effectively the missions suggested for it." Simultaneously, the American Security Council issued a report which concluded; "An American ABM system is the soundest insurance for peace and against war that the United States can buy in 1969, lor the 1970s." The report which said the ABM would be ineffective came Tuesday from Profs, Abram Chaycs of Harvard Law School and Jerome Wiesner of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chayes was legal adviser to the State Department and Wiesner was science advisor to President John F. Kennedy. Speaking for the Pentagon, Dr.

John S. Foster chief scientist for the Department of Defense, said the report critical of ABM contained nothing of value and was based in part on incorrect assumptions. The American Security Council report, focusing primarily on the Soviet missile threat, was written by two scientists and retired Gen. Nathan F. Twining, former chairman of tlie Joint Chiefs of Staff.

More Working, More Jobless In Salina Area There were more job-holders and more jobless in the Salina area at mid-March than at the same time a year earlier. The Salina office of the Kansas Employment Security Division counted 38,275 employed persons here at mid-March. That compares with 18J50 at the same time last year and 18,225 at mid-January. At the same time, however, there were 525 persons out of work compared with 375 last year and 500 in January. The office said reports from representative employers indicate "a stable non-farm and salary employment level" here.

Farm employment is expected to show its usual seasonal increase. Prison Terms For Larcenies The Saline county district court has denied Ronald Allen's request for probation and sentenced him to the penitentiary for not more than 5 years. Allen, also known as Cameron, had pleaded giiilt.y to grand larceny. He will be referred to the state reception and diagnostic center. The c'o 11 released Felix Swanson, charged with non-support, on a conditionary probation.

He must support his family or be returned to court for sentencing. Frederick llannert has pleaded guilty to breaking into the Tony Phanncnsteii residence to steal a shotgun. He was sentenced to not more than 5 years. Sen. Jacob K.

Javits, R- N.Y., said the critical report "could be very effective" with undecided senators. The undecided group numbered 10 in the most recent Associated Press survey which showed 47 senators against, and 43 for Safeguard. '(The weight of the scientific evidence Is overwhelming," Javits said. Sen. Peter Dominick, listed a's an ABM supporter, said he thinks live 344-page Chayes-Wiesner report will influence the debate.

Favoring ABM with Gen, Twining in the ASC study were Dr. Willard Libby, a former member of the Atomic Energy Commission and a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, and Prof. William J. Thaler of Georgetown University's physics department. Here are highlights from the two reports: Chayes-Wiesner report: "We concluded that the system is unlikely to perform according to specifications in the event of a nuclear attack." ASC report: "Safeguard will 'work' in the sense it is intended to work The United States has amply demonstrated its capacity to produce and operate the most complex systems." Chayes-Wiesner report: "We conclude that the system is highly susceptible to penetration." ASC report: "Even if this is so, the enemy is.

forced to greatly multiply his arsenal with greatly sophisticated missiles This greatly complicates his offensive problem and -adds ifn measurably to the deterrent effectiveness of our own offensive missiles." Thin Evidence Chayes-Wiesner report: "We find the evidence a the U.S.S.R. is seeking a first-strike capability against the U.S. to be thin and unpersuasive Even if the threat should develop, it is by no means clear that an ABM system would be the right answer, and it is almost certain that the Sentinel -Safeguard--or any other system using its components--would not." ASC report: "It is apparent that the Soviets have jumped into the lead in overall strategic missile strength They are preparing for every contingency, including nuclear war', and however it.may come, they intend (o get in the first blow, according to their doctrine We firmly believe that an American ABM system is the soundest insurance for peace and against warjhat the United can buy in 1967, for the 1770s." Chayes-Wiesner report" "We conclude that deployment of Sentinel-Safeguard now would probably start a new round in the arms race and would seri- 'ously impede the conclusion of an arms control agreement." ASC report: "Soviet leaders would regard U.S. failure to develop an ABM as a sign of deficient military thinking--one that should be exploited, not followed. is unlikely that a U.S.

ARM moratorium would be followed by the Soviet Union." Students in Wild Clash Continued from Page 1 Mace lo clear the doorway. The protesters moved to the union, joining others already there. Purdue officials backed down on an earlier decision and agreed to leave the union open all night. Many of the students there said they sought amnesty for the 229 arrested in the first sit-in, which was a protest over tuition increases. Al other schools around the nation: New York--City College opened for the first time in two weeks and most of the 12,000 day students attended classes, amid some vandalism by groups of white radicals.

But classes for 8,000 night students were canceled by President Bucll G. Gallagher because of "an air of tension on campus." Black and Puerto Kican faculty members, supported by about white instructors, began a strike to support demands of minority group students who had held the South Campus for two weeks. They left under a court injunction. The students seek a separate school of black and Hispanic studies and an increase in minority enrollment to match city public schools, which are 40 per cent black and Puerto Rican. There are currently 4,500 blacks and Puerto RIcans among the school's 20,000 students.

At Brooklyn College, black militant students clashed with police and firemen who responded to a fire in the administration building. Two policemen were injured. Four other fires were scl on the campus. Students at Brooklyn and Queens are seeking a larger role in running a program designed to help minority group students adjust to college. Queens, Brooklyn and City College are part of the City University.

New Haven, 75 Yale University students held a one-hour "mill-in" in the treasurer's office to protest the school's ROTC program. Security guards' kept the demonstrator's from President Kingman Brewster office. Washington--About 230 protesters at predominantly Negro Howard University took over several more buildings in the pre-dawn hours. Some doors were forced and many took bedding in with them. The students were reportedly acting in sympathy with groups that occupied two buildings earlier and ignored a temporary restraining order served by U.S.

Marshals. Originally in dispute was a student demand for more representation in running the sociology-anthropology department. Cambridge, Harvard Corp. said it will begin lo build. 1,100 low income housing units in Boston, open to both members and nonmembers of Harvard i i school's housing policies was in a student sit-in and stride last month.

Doctors Delay Prescription For Ills of Blue Shield Kansas physicians agre-d in Salina Wednesday morning that at least vague symptoms of discomfort plague their Blue Shield corporation, with its insurance plan of prepaid coverage for doctor's services. i But until the diagnosis is certain, they are postponing a remedy. 'Mcinbers of the Kansas Medical Society's House of Delegates joined in lively and lengthy debate at general House session on a resolution casting a searching eye on Blue Shield operation. The resolution was the result a year's study by a KLMS Blue Shield study commission.

The resolution as originally proposed by the commission had called for a "clear separation of Blue Cross and Blue That section of the resolution had been deleted.before the session Wednesday morning, and debate centered the question cf reinserting the separation call in the resolution. "This question is the guts of resolution," declared Dr. Edward S. Brinton, chairman of Ihe study committee. "Withcut it the resolution will be sterile and you will have achieved very little from the year of work by this committee." Ask Why But several members a i they did'not understand why the committee had recommended administrative division of Blue Cross and Shield.

Blue Cross provides prepaid hospilal and surgical coverage, while Blue Shield covers doctors' services. Dr. M. Robert Knapp, another member of the study committee, said the division was needed to "stop the public from seeing doctors as th 2 clearly identified culprits for the rising cost of medical care." He said the public does not realize the difference in Shield and Cross coverage. They only know Blue Cross coverage rates increase frequently and steeply "but the doctors are the ones who get slashed for the Blue Cross increase when our own (Blue Shield) rates have not increased." Debate pro and con lasted well over an hour, and revealed division among House delegates, as well as among physicians who Pueblos Basic Security Questions Still Unanswered By BERNARD WK1XRAUB ision overruling the court con-!

Quite skillfully perhaps de-' liberately the decision by A a- vy Sccrelary John H. Chafee blunts this public outcry but, at the same time, hardly exonerates Bucher.

Bucher has 18 years of Navy service.

He can relire at the end of 20 years and draw a pension. Should he resign his commission and leave thc service, he could easily write a book or conduct lectures. The -51-year-old Navy officer hardly shuns and seems lo enjoy all the hoopla of a celebrity's life. The professional problems facing Bucher now seem to pale in comparison to the problems and Publicly the court shied away from filling in certain key gaps in thc inquiry. Privately, however, the Navy probably will face these questions and somehow seek to answer them in hopes of averting another Pueblo.

Some of the most basic questions could only have been answered by calling senior Navy officials and not a single officer outranking was called as a witness. Neither Adm. Thomas C. Moorer, the chief of naval operations, nor Adm. U.

S. Grant Sharp, the retired commander in chief of the Pacific, appeared before the inquiry. Both men were directly responsible for the Pueblo mission. There were gaps in the testimony, too, that could have been filled by summoning the commander of thc Fifth Air Force in Japan', who could have ordered planes to rescue the Pueblo; and officers at the Puget naval shipyard and the Naval Ships system Command, who responsible for outfitting the former cargo ship with, poor communications, inadequate equipment and few incinerators, paper shredders or weighted bags for the 600 pounds of secret papers on the ship, An even more basic set of questions was barely raised at the inquiry -ye these questions somehow overshadowed virtually every moment.

Consensus among delegates was that they were not-ready to adopt the resolution, either because they did not understand it.

or because they felt another year of thoughtful study on the question was necessary. -They did agree with the opinion several speakers a Blue Shield should develop an intensive program of public education so doctors will not be unfairly blamed for increases in Blue Cross plans.
