Increases Cited At Pa. Hearing By FORD BURKHAST HARRISBURG (AP) University educators said Monday institutions would face fiscal nightmares without substantial increases in state appropriations above the amounts suggesed for 1970-71 by Gov. Shafer. Tuition increases of S150 to S200 appeared likely at Pennsylvania State University, the University of Pittsburgh, Temple and the University of Pennsylvania, the four schools wiiose budgets were under Senate review. The Senate Appropriations Committee is to consider appropriations for medical schools and the state colleges and Indiana University in today's hear- One official of Penn said a cut in state support would mean quality of the student body collapse, our best faculty talent would be driven away, and the state might be left financing the whole enterprise." Penn is asking the General Assembly to approve an appropriation of S12 million for 1S70- 71.

S6 million more than was recommended fay Gov. Shafer. Gaylord P. HarnweU. president of Penn.

said Sharer's pro- nosed appropriation would "have a shattering effect and would require "a traumatic curtailment of programs." "It would push us to the brink of bankruptcy, or beyond, and would mean the end of the University of Pennsylvania as we know it today," he said. Dr. Eric A. Walker, president of Penn State, told legislators the Shafer recommendation of S69 million for that school would not pay any of the cost of ad- Eitling next fall an extra 2,500 students who have already been accepted and notified. If they were turned away at this point.

Waiter said, "all hell would break Penn State is asking for SSO million. The questions turned to recent campus violence at Penn State, Senate Appropriations Chairman George N. "Wade. R- Cumberiand, asked whether Penn State might be shut down by demonstrators. "We're not going to close," Walker said.

"If I closed the school because of 50 militants, I'd have to face 24.000 rebellious students who want to go to class Penn State opens hearings next Monday on the fate of 40 students charged with violations in the April protest demonstrations. Walker told legislators a tough anti-trespass law was needed to protect campuses and other institutions in Pennsylvania from he called "traveling militants," but he rejected a sug- that a permanent police force be set at Penn State.

Sabbato, who flew from Lubbock to El Paso, yesterday morning said he was unable to reach his wife by telephone until about 3:30 a. m. today. She told him she was watching television last night when a tornado warning was given about 9:30 p. m.

Sirens were sounded throughout the city and residents were told to take shelter. Mrs. Sabbato told her husband she opened the windows in their apartment as the warnings had instructed residents to do.

Informed sources said North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces are setting un new bases deeper in Cambodia following the allied offensive that has killed more than 5.000 of the enemy and taken huge war stockpiles. But they warned of possible counterattacks. About 16.000 U.S.

troops and 20.000 South Vietnamese met little resistance today as the allied offensive rounded out its second week. Allied headquarters said 88 U.S. and 340 South Vietnamese troops have been killed and 319 Americans and 1.515 South Vietnamese "wounded in the action.

"We would not be surprised, however, to see some pockets of resistance develop or to see counterattacks and screening actions."

The broadcast said county this year.) When gypsy moth larvae feed, they defoliate hardwood trees and some evergreens. They also attack fruit and orcanienta! trees. While many hardwoods die after two or three gypsy moth defoliations, some evergreens cannot survive a single a'ttack. On Monday, the Stale Agriculture Department reported that gypsy moths have reached Aaronsburg in Centre County, 100 sniies west of previously state.

Agriculture Secretary Le-and IL Ball theorized. "There is a danger that automobiles and trucks, parked in the lovvn or passing through, could pick up gypsy moth larvae when the eggs hatch and transport them 10 other sections of the state. Wind borne larvae also could easily spread into the valleys of Central Pennsylvania and cause extensive damage to woodland there." Cicadas, however, come only once every 17 years. The type that will visit 40 Pennsylvania counties next month is known to the State Agriculture Department as Brood X. While the department is spraying in certain areas to combat the gypsy moth, the state's director of plant industry a i the Commonwealth attempt to do anything" to stop cicadas.

"They only do temporary damage." said the director, Henry F. Nixon. Nixon explained that the female cicada slits a twig and stores her eggs in the opening. The tips of branches mav fall off. just stunt the growth of the tree this particular year," Nixon said.

"They don't feed on anything, but make the slits to lav eggs. Thev're not going to Mil the tree. "If you have an orchard, you could have a reduction in fruit. It would set the tree back, but the cicadas won't return again for 17 years. The gypsy moths keep coming back." The cicada, which doesn't sting or bhe.

goes after fruit trees, forest trees, nursery stock and prefers oak. hickory, apple, peach, pear and grape. Nixon said that individuals could get rid of cicadas in their back yards by spraying a chemical. Seven. This will kill the insect at the expense of several pieces of fruit, but some fruit --and the tree itself -would be spared.

Young made his statement as Life magazine published a copyrighted photograph showing one guardsman, apparently an officer, aiming a pistol toward a group of students.

The spokesman added that only officers carried .45 caliber pistols at Kent State. Two Associated Press reporters examining the scene of the shooting shortly after the incident reported finding a spent buUet that appeared to be larger than the .30 caliber slugs fired from Ml rifles.

Postal Pay Passed By Committee By JIM ADAMS WASHINGTON (AP) The postal reform-pay raise package negotiated in the wake of the nation's first mail strike has passed a House committee with a bonus aimed at heading off new walkouts. The bonus T.vould make the eight per cent pay boost promised to postal workers after the strike retroactive to April 16, not effective with congressional approval of the bill which appears to be weeks away. The retroactive pay was written in by the House Post Office Committee in the face of a vote that mandates a strike by dissident New York nostal workers next Thursday, and in the face of adamant Senate opposition that is likely tc delay final approval of the package by Congress. The House committee also wrote in a number of other changes, including a policy of higher pay for high cost of living areas such as New York City before passing the bfll 13-10 late Monday in a rare night session. The postal reform portion of the bill--calling for creation of an independent U.S.

Postal Service that would run the mails much as a corporation and is to put them on a self-paying basis by 1978--was passed with almost no change. But Rep. Morris K. Udall, D- chief House advocate of the bill, said he believed the committee changes would make it unacceptable to the Nixon administration and AFL-CTO postal unions that negotiated it. He indicated he will try to rewrite the bill on the floor, where it could go to a vote as early as next week, to restore the negotiated settlement.

The retroactive pay and cost of living area wage adjustments are likely to be opposed by the administration because of their cost, for which there were no estimates.
