ERA-WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 1, Hospitals to Be Checked Under Rights Law SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Federal forms are going out shortly to every hospital and medical facility in the nation to determine if there is complete civil rights compliance -such as allowing a Negro and a white to share the same hospital room.

"These which are judicially enforceable, will be spot-checked by compliance visits by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from coast to coast," James M. Quigley told the American Hospital Association today in a prepared address. Quigley is an assistant secretary in HEW. Seek Attackers Of Bridesmaid WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) FBI agents joined policemen from two states today in the search for two men who kidnapped and raped a young girl from Jacksonville, shortly after she served as a bridesmaid.

The young woman, so hysterical policemen could not question her for hours, was abducted by two Negro men Monday night from a street in Trainer, police reported. She was still wearing her pale blue bridesmaid dress, and was walking home from the wedding reception when she was abducted. TATTERED DRESS More than two hours later, clutching the tattered dress about her, she was dumped from the car near a service station on U.S. 13 in Claymont, Del.

Why No Viet Nam War Declaration? (Continued claims of these Communist guerrillas to being a government, and much of what they do like murder and arson can be classed as acts subject to criminal prosecution. The government of North Viet Nam? The United States says it does not want to destroy this government, which would be a natural objective if war were declared against it. Red China or the Soviet Union? Washington wants to press its effort in Viet Nam without getting into a fight with the big Communist powers, which a declaration of war against them would involve. WOULD BROADEN In the big strategic picture a formal U. S.

declaration of war would, in the opinion of administration authorities, tend to broaden the conflict when it is in the best U. S. interest to prosecute it in a narrower arena. If war were deciared against North Viet Nam, for instance, neighboring Communist China might decide to get into the fight. So far it has steered clear of direct involvement while U.

S. bombers pinpoint targets south of its border. For the United States an official declaration of war would set off a round of diplomatic consultations with its allies around the world, even though mutual aid pacts might not be invoked. At home officials believe a declaration of war would have a tremendous psychological impact gearing the nation for an all-out effort- for a Southeast Asian program which today accounts for only a small fraction of the federal budget.

Treated for Malaria Page One) laws are on the books which would be affected by a declaration of war, including clauses involving such items as shipping and other economic activities, and that further legislation would be passed in a war situation. As matters now stand the President has the power as commander in chief to send troops to Viet Nam, and Congress has passed additional legislation as needed, they say. And they note that the United States fought a much larger action in the Korean war without a formal war declaration, for many of the same reasons now applied in the Viet Nam contest. FROM STATE DEPT.

The State Department says: "The fact that military hostilities have been taking place in Southeast Asia does not bring about the existence of a state of war, which is a legal characterization of a situation rather than a factual description. "What we have in Viet Nam is armed aggression from the north against the Republic of Viet Nam. "Pursuant to South Viet Nam's request and consultations between our two governments, South Viet Nam and the United States are engaged in collective defense against that armed aggression. The inherent right of collective self defense is recognized in Article 51 of the U. N.

Charter." Betsy Heads For Bahamas (Continued from Page One) expected to reach 100 miles by Thursday, forecasters said, and small craft in the Bahamas were warned not to venture from port.

NEW IDEAS BEING TRIED Plans Special Programs to Help Scholars Freshmen Do Better Work (Continued from Page One) eral of the importance of the student's Freshman year. Forty professors have volunteered to work with new students outside the classroom in an intensified effort to get their college years off to a good start. Spalding said that many boys who come to have been leaders in their high school classes, like the proverbial large frog in small pond. But when they get to college they find themselves in a bigger pond with a lot of big frogs, he said. Some cannot handle the situation, Spalding remarked, but if they are confronted with someone (a faculty member) who is interested in them, it can make crucial difference.

These faculty advisers will get acquainted with the new students when they first arrive on campus. Later, they will be available for consultations and will even have the students into their homes. It's all an effort "to make the Freshman year vital. profitable and to capture the imagination of the young men," the president said. Playing a major role in this program will be a man who is also new at the college: Dr.

0. W. Lacy, dean of students. He comes to from Trinity College where he was dean of students for six years. He will also teach psychology courses.

TRADITION REINSTATED Returning students will find this fall that an old tradition has been reinstated. It is the convocation which formally opens the academic year. It will include a faculty procession and an address by an as yet unnamed speaker. The convocation is scheduled for Sept. 16.

Franklin and Marshall can claim a "first" this year with its International House, a new method of making foreign students a closely knit part of the student body. About 10 foreign students will live as roommates with an equal number of carefully chosen American students in an autonomous residence unit within a dormitory. "It is not done this way anywhere else in the United States," Spalding said. It will bring about a real exchange of ideas in addition to helping the foreign students to adjust more smoothly to American life, he explained. ART GALLERY Scheduled to open time this fall is a collegecommunity art gallery now being constructed in Goethean Hall.

It will be used to display important works owned by the college as well as exhibitions for college and community audiences. It is part of the college's plans to upgrade its program in the arts and to meet a community need. Long range plans call for construction of a fine arts center for music, drama and the graphic arts, Spalding said. Also in the realm of building plans, ground will be broken this fall for a physical science building. It will house facilities for the study of geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy.

And plans will begin this fall towards establishing a student union building to meet the growing needs for tion facilities for the student body..
