NEWS WIRE Late World News By The Associated Press 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. - -- -- - catedaaaesire to lve in resa ence 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. RallIy Mock Battle Disrupted At Military Fete Seven Found Guilty, Pay $25 Fines for Disturbing the Peact. By MARK LEVIN and STEPHEN FIRSHEIN Co-Editor Special To The Daily 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 of whom was a Daily reporter cov. ering the event.

They were quietly dragged back to the road. A few moments later another group, including a few of the hip- pies, made a much more spirited advance, galloping out into the marsh, some tripping over the thick' weeds. This time the MP's were joined by Coast Guard men and the people were dragged back harshly, getting their clothes rip- ped and stomachs bruised.

Chandler Davis, former University faculty member. Davis and Prof. Mark Nickerson of the Medical School were dis- missed by the University for re- fusing to answer questions posed by the House Un-American Acti- vities Committee (HUAC) in the summer of 1954. Both were investigated by fac- ulty committees as to their po- litical beliefs before University President Harlan Hatcher asked the Regents to fire them in August of 1954 because their refusal to answer questions both before HUAC and the special Faculty Senate committee was "inexcus- cial voice, and later by the Ameri- can Association of University Pro- fessors (AAUP), as well as by numerous students. Their cases became the focal point for much of the campus reaction to the tensions which the congressional investigations had generated. And in the four or five months between the teachers' ap- pearances before HUAC and the end of the most intense reaction to their dismissals, much was re- vealed about the thinking of many members of the UniversityI community. i The thinking of the University a faculty position in an American community, which hasn't changed university without success.

By JILL CRABTREE 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."

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, -E.fi
