CAIRO-President Gamal Abdel Nasser announced yesterday
closure of the Gulf of Aqaba tc Israeli shipping and said: "The
Israeli flag will not pass in the gulf in front of our forces now
stationed in Sharm el Sheikh." In a speech during a visit to a
frontline Egyptian airbase in the Sinai Desert Nasser said that
even non-Israeli ships carrying strategic articles to Israel will
be barred. Nasser said Egypt now is applying the same regula-
tions that were in force before the 1956 Suez war.
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. last night denied a
charge that a peace movement he began last month is influenced
by Communists. And he lashed out at what he called "'McCarthy-
ism tactics" of his accusers.
King, reached during a quarterly retreat of his Southern
Christian Leadership' Conference staff members, replied to a
paper against extremism issued by Freedom House last Saturday.
The position paper, which supported President Johnson and
the fight against "Communist aggression against South Viet-
nam," attacked Kin'g for lending his "mantle of respectability" to
a peace movement. The paper said the movement contained
"well-known Communist allies and luminaries of the hate-
America left."
MICHIGAN DRAFT BOARDS yesterday were ordered to
deliver 1,167 men for induction into the Army in July from reg-
ular registrants, along with 120 men formerly classified for lim-
ited service only.j
The former limited service registrants now are acceptable
under lower standards established by the Defense Department.
This makes the total for the month 1827-the highest of the
eyar. The state's draft call figures haveshown a steady rise since
the first of the year.
Col. Arthur Holmes, state Selective Service director, said
another 7,500 registrants will be ordered for preinduction physical
examinations in July.

halls next year. The vast majority
of these students lived in dormi-
tories last year and chose to re-
turn.
This means that approximately
7500 students have revealed their
intention to live in residence halls
next fall.
Next Year's Budget
However, Feldkamp indicated
that the dormitory system is budg-
eted for next year on the basis
of an anticipated vacancy rate of
2% per cent. This compares with
an occupancy rate of nearly 100
per cent during the 1966-67 aca-
demic year. A vacancy rate of 2i/2
per cent would mean that approx-
imately 9300 students would be liv-
ing in University residence halls.
To achieve a 2/2 per cent vac-
ancy rate, it would be necessary
for 1800 upperclassmen, transfer
and graduate students to live in
residence halls next year.
Feldkamp said that it was dif-
ficult to assess the behavior of
these students since the academic
year 1967-68 is the first time that
graduate students and upperclass-
men will be encouraged to enter
the dormitory system. He pointed
to many requests by upperclass-
men and graduate students for
space in the residence halls which
were unable to be filled in the
past as evidence for his belief that
at least 1800 of these students will
choose to live in dormitories next
year.

TOLEDO-Ten Ann Arbor res-
idents were arraigned yesterday
morning in Toledo Municipal
Court on charges of distributing
the peace at an Armed Forces Day
Rally here held on Sunday.
Seven of the proteseters were
found guilty and fined $25 each,
while three of the group were held
over for hearings later this month.
Simulated Maneuver
The demonstrators were arrested
at Detwiler Marsh in Toledo where
they had strewn themselves on the
ground to protest a segment of the
program which simulated a field
maneuver of American troops tak-
ing over, a mock Vietnamese vil-
lage.
Seven demonstrators were iden-
tified as members of Voice political
party.
The event was part of city's
Annual Armed Forces Day cele-
brations sponsored by the Cham-
ber of Commerce and local mil-
itary units. Toledo police, assisted
by military police present at the
scene, arrested ten persons includ-
ing seven University students, one

"Even today in American uni-

of radical thought in the economic
and political sphere than in
Canada where socialists are pretty

Davis, former University faculty
member.

of the Medical School were dis-
missed by the University for re-

by the House Un-American Acti-

summer of 1954.

Three hundred-ninety students
at Cornell University made public
yesterday a pledge they had signed
stating that they would not serve
in the armed forces because the
United States is "waging a war of1
aggression in Vietnam."
The students bought a full]
page advertisement in the Cornell
Daily Sun, a student-run news-
paper at a total cost of $97.50.
The pledge states in part: "We,
the undersigned, having concluded,
that our government is waging a
war of aggression in Vietnam, de-
clare that we will not serve in the
armed forces so long as the United
States is engaged in this or any
other unjust and immoral war."

eligible men. A supporting pledge'

streets. We felt this pledge would
be an effective measure."
Kassell said the WWGG was
formed shortly after the Spring
Peace Mobilization in New York.
The pledge had been circulated for
three weeks before it was made
public.
Reservations
Samuel Roberts, Managing Edit-
or of the Daily Sun, said the paper
had some reservations about
printing the pledge for legal rea-
sonse. They consulted several local
lawyers who suggested that a
statement encouraging others to
refuse service be deleted from the
advertisement. This was done on
the understanding that the Daily
Sun would print a letter to the
editor from the WWGG encour-
agin others to take their position,
