By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The United
States blasted Communist North
Viet Nam yesterday with a 14,-
000-word "white paper" charging
the Communist state with waging
"concealed aggression" against the
South on a massive and growing
scale.
Charges of "direct support" of
the war were directed at Commu-
nist China and other Red nations.
The report, charging violation
of international agreements in de-
fiance of the United Nations char-
ter, was dispatched by the State
Department to the UN Security
Council for the information of all
of its members, including the So-
viet 'Union.
By this means the U.S. put be-
fore the council its accusation that
the North Vietnamese attack on
the South "is as real as that of an
invading army."
Will Fight Back
It warned the UN that the U.S.
and South Viet Nam will fight
back with whatever means they
wish-including air strikes.
The U.S. said it had hoped
widening of the war might be
avoided but that the Communist
leaders in Hanoi met restraint on
the U.S.-South Vietnamese side
with greater violence. Therefore,
the paper said, the U.S. and South
Viet Nam decided air strikes
against infiltration and supply
bases in North Viet Nam were
equired for the defense of the
uth.
'North Viet Nam's commitment
seize control of the South is
no less total than -was the com-
mitment of the regime in (Com-
munist) North Korea in 1950. But
knowing the consequences of the
latter's undisguised attack, the
planners in Hanoi have tried des-
perately to conceal their hand.
The white paper with maps,
photographs and stories of sol-
diers in the South-was design-
ed to build up convincing and
massive evidence of North Viet-
namese control of the war with
the alleged direct support of Com-
munist China and some help from
the Soviet Union and other Com-
munist countries.
The report said that of more
than 4000 Communist guerrillas
of the Viet Cong known to have
entered the South in the first
eight months of 1964, about 75 per
cent are natives of the North. In
earlier years the bulk of troops
infiltrated into the south were de-
scribed as southerners who had
been trained in the north.
This. asserted switch in the
source of manpower was cited in
an attempt to show that the mili-
tary forces of the North are be-
coming much more deeply involv-
ed in Southern fighting.
Communist Weapons
Lists of weapons printed in the
appendix to the white paper show-
ed captured guns and ammunition
identified as having originated in
Communist China, the Soviet Un-
ion, Czechoslovakia and North Viet
Nam.
The body of the report itself
carried a breakdown of weapons
it said were found in connection
with the Feb. 16 sinking of an
arms ship running into the South
Vietnamese coastal province of
Phu Yen. The State Department
said documents found aboard the
vessel showed it had come from

kOn Humanities
University President H a r 1 a n
Hatcher has proposed establish-
ng a humanities foundation to
aralel the National Science
Foundation.
His recommendation was given
recently before a House-Senate
"arts panel" on legislation to es-
tablish such a foundation intro-
duced by Sen. Claiborn Pell (D-
RD and Rep. William S. Moore-
head (D-Pa).
The legislation is based on a
report from the Commission on
the Humanities and has received
the approval of the Johnson ad-
ministration.
As conceived by administration
spokesmen, a National Humanities
and Arts Foundation would be cre-
ated as a counterpart of the NSF.
The foundation's function would
be divided into two autonomous
units.
The humanities unit would con-
centrate on upgrading university
curricula and promoting studies in

A UNITED STATES "White Paper" on Viet Nam, released yester-
day, labelled the above pile of supplies "part of the huge stock
of Chinese and other Communist weapons and ammunition
seized from the Viet Cong . . . in February, 1965." The White
Paper charged North Viet Nam with "concealed aggression"
against South Viet Nam.
North Viet Nam.
Officials were vague when ques-
tioned by newsmen about why the
white paper was put out at this
time. They said the timing was de-
termined by the task of compil-
ing the material.
However,hfrom other sources it
appeared there were at least two
major reasons for issuing the doc-
ument now :
1) To show why the Johnson
administration decided earlier
this month to start air attacks
on infiltration centers in North
Viet Nam in retaliation for a
sharp increase in Viet Cong of-
fensive operations in the south;
2) To try to rally public opin-
ion in allied and neutralist coun-
tries on the question of what the
war is allabout.
.International Conflict'
U.S. Chief Delegate Adlai E.
Stevenson made the statement in
a letter to the UN Security Coun-
cil which accompanied the white
paper. Stevenson described the
fighting between the Viet Cong
and the South Vietnamese govern-
ment as "an international con-
flict" involving "an aggressive'
war of conquest" waged by North
Viet Nam.
Meanwhile, American B-57 jet
bombers pounded the jungles near.

dent organization.
The convention overruled his
claim by refusing to support an
amendment installing his group
as the official delegation. The vote
was 269-128.
The convention then elected a
moderate, Jerry Van Wyck of Cal-
vin College, as federation presi-
dent, defeating two Gottschalk-
supported candidates.
The dispute stems from a tech-
nicality in the University regula-
tions concerning student organiza-
tions. They require student or-
ganizations seeking to maintain
recognition to register the officer
names and faculty advisor with
the OSA each semester.
Stewart, who was elected in No-
vember as president of the then-
registered YR's, thought the reg-
istration was automatic.
However, Gottschalk and other
dissident members of that YR
club, secured the registration
forms and submitted them to the
OSA, which approved them.
Bill Stalled
WASHINGTON (P)--Last-min-
ute objections in the House Edu-
cation and Labor Committee stall-
ed final approval yesterday of the
administration's $1.3 billion school
aid bill.
Chairman Adam Clayton Powell
(D-NY) said the committee was
within half an hour of completing
action on the sweeping measure
when a motion to adjourn car-
ried by a 16-15 vote.
Six Democrats had joined with
the-committee's 10 Republicans to
force the adjournment, which was
opposed by Powell and other
strong supporters of the bill.
The main thrust of the admin-
istration bill is toward improving
education in low-income areas,
which leaves little money for the
wealthier suburbs. The section
dealing with low-income area
children is the only one still to
be acted on.

All GROUP candidates for Stu-
dent Government Council posi-
tions-except those running for
president and vice-president-,
were disqualified last night from
being listed on the March 1 elec-
tion ballot by Council's Creden-
tials and Rules Committee.
The committee ruled t h a t
GROUP (Governmental Revision
of University Policy) candidates
had committed two infractions of
the SGC election rules and order-
ed their names removed from the
ballot.
Council Executive Vice-Presi-
dent Gary Cunningham, '66, also
a candidate in Monday's election,
has scheduled a special session of
SGC today at 11 a.m. to hear
GROUP's appeal of the ruling.
Write-In
In any case, the seven GROUP
candidates disqualified are still
eligible for write-in votes. SGC
Administrative Vice-P r e s i d e n t
Sherry Miller, '65, chairman of the
committee, explained that since
no write-in votes are allowed for
executive positions, the GROUP
candidates for president and vice-
president were not disqualified.
The complaints brought against
the candidates charged GROUP
had illegally distributed its cam-
paign material, both through Al-
pha Phi Omega's bulletin board
and through a table set up in the
Fishbowl last Friday.
Under Council election rules, no
candidate "or person acting on his
behalf" is allowed to campaign in
any University building except
when permission has been obtain-
ed from the "appropriate author-
ities." In addition, candidates are
required to inform the SGC elec-
tion director of "any special per-
mission granted."
Permission Received
GROUP answered that they had
received permission from Alpha
Phi Omega, which has jurisdiction
over University bulletin boards
and the Fishbowl, on both counts.
However, they asserted that they
had not notified the election di-
rector of this because they had
not considered the permission to
be "special." Inasmuch as they
are a recognized organization,
GROUP argued that having post-
ers distributed by APO and set-
ting up the table in the Fishbowl
are standard organization priv-
ileges.
The committee did not dispute
GROUP's status as a recognized
organization, but did question the
candidates' use of this status to
circumvent rules which would have
prohibited them as individuals
from obtaining the privileges
granted by APO, Miss Miller said.
Fails To Notify
She explained the actual in-
fraction came from GROUP's fail-
ure to notify the election director
of the privileges granted by APO.
She said the purpose of the elec-
tion rules was to give all candi-
dates an equal chance in the elec-
tion.
By not notifying the election
director of these permissions,
GROUP did not allow Council
either to set up similar privileges
for the other candidates or to deny
them to GROUP, she explained.
Miss Miller also questioned
APO's role in posting the GROUP
signs on University bulletin boards,
inasmuch as the fraternity's rule
forbids posting campaign litera-
ture.
APO President Laurence Kalb-
fleisch, '65BAd, said last night
that at the time the signs were
approved for posting he was not
aware of GROUP's function, since
the posters did not make any note
of SGC elections. He explained
