He said the situation was now calm but Jordan still faces a period of crisis. Hussein told a news conference in Amman the fighting was the most anxious and difficult time of his life. "We are unable to say exactly who was behind it but it is ob- vious that our enemies played a big part in it for their own benefit," Hussein added. * * * SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Melvin Laird yesterday said the U.S. Pacific fleet will move to the Arabian Sea once American vessels are relieved of duty in Indochina. Laird said the fleet will act to offset what he termed Soviet naval power between the RedSea and the Indian Ocean.

STATE LOCAL DRAFT BOARDS will order some 1,670 registrants for induction into the army during July, State Se- lective Service Director Arthur Holmes said yesterday. Holmes said it is expected the July call will reflect the induction of an increasing number of colege students who were graduated dur- ing the spring months.

And Prime Minister arold Wilson was hit by his 24th egg as he wound up his bid for re-election. Wilson's Labor party struck back at Conservative Leader Edward Heath's contention that a Labor majority in the next Parliament would bring another devaluation of the nation's currency. But Heath, in a final thrust for power, stood by his claim although he injected new qualifications into it. Public opinion polls issued the night before the election con- tinued to give Labor the edge, but by a variety of margins. Gallup predicted a seven per cent margin, compared with its estimate of 2.4 per cent four days ago. ELIZABETH KOONTZ, director of the U.S. Labor Depart- ment's Women's Bureau, said yesterday her bureau is well aware of discrimination against women because the U.S. government is one of those guilty of it. "Women train guys at the beginning level who shoot past them at the three-year level," Mrs. Koontz told an equal opportunity con- ference on the 50th anniversary of the bureau's founding. Mrs. Koontz said women are "counseled to go into routine jobs," face quota systems against them in graduate schools, and pay taxes' to provide "scholarships that women don't get." d i the sicilian clan "There's nothing like a juicy how-they-dunit. THE SICILIAN CLAN has just about everything a crime-and-detection de- votee can want-a glamorous young criminal, a saga old family-man as mastermind, the international machinations of j the Mafia, a multi-million dollar jewel theft, the most inspired I hijacking of a planeload of passengers and jewels in or out j of fiction, a dash of sex, a sensible and far-from-stupid de- tective and a variety of non-bumbling police forces, and a I triple denouement finale. It adds up to an enthralling how- they-dunit, immaculately detailed and beautifully performed every step of the way, with the police hot on the heels of the mob (and on occasion even a step or two ahead). And it boils down to a fast-paced in-depth thriller that blends characteri- zation with the action to provide a most satisfying entertain- ment." -NEW YORK MAGAZINE A- :SICLIN 20th Century-Fox Presents A HENRI VERNEUL-IACQUES E.

"I am confident that the Court of Military Review's de- cision in Nesrey Sood s c a s e will stand as a ruling for all the men," attorney Paul Halvonik said. In Washington, the Army said it will not appeal the Sood ruling. "It was a classic case of Army overkill," said Halvo- nik, an 'American Civil Liber- ties Union lawyer.- "The review court ruled, in effect, that no mutiny had tak-_ en place. So what are the other men doing in prison?" Sood, originally sentenced to; 15 years at hard labor, joined 26 other stockade prisoners in; a singing sitdown protest Oct. 28, 1968. Dcase may They sang "We Shall Over- come" and "America The Beau- tiful" in protest against what they described as crowded con- ditions in the prisoni and the fatal shooting of a fellow pris- oner four days earlier in an es- cape attempt. Twenty-two were convicted of mutiny charges. Three escaped and are believed to be in Can- ada. Two were convicted of les- ser charges. Halvonik and Sood said they will seek reversal of the review court's order that Sood should stand convicted of t h e lesser charge of "willful disobedience of a lawful command" to cease singing and return to barracks. " Sood's original 15-year sen- tence had been reduced earlier to two years by the Army judge advocate general. He was pa- roled after serving 13 months at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. The Army could have carried the mutiny case to the Court of a id others Military Appeal, the highest court in the military judicial system. Halvonik said at least three of the other mutiny conviction appeals have been argued be- fore the Court of Military Re- view and decisions soon should be handed down. Two appeals involve Pvts. Louis S. Osczepinski, 22, of Flor- ida, N.Y., originally sentenced to 16 years, and Lawrence W. Reidel, 21 of Medford, Ore., given a 14-year term. The stiff sentences for the first three men convicted stir- red protest in Congress and brought appointment of a civil- ian committee to investigate the Presidio Stockade. The committee last Monday recommended to Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor that the prison be closed. It called. the stockade unsafe and antiqu- ated. COLUMBIA, Me.

This form letter went to 500 high school graduates who wanted to attend the St Louis campus of the University of Missouri. Similar letters by the tens of thousands have gone from other big state universities and colleges to qualified stu- dents. All the letters carry a be- tween-the-lines message: The baby boom of the early 1950s has reached college age and the crunch is on for a classroom seat.

Mueller, director of admissions at St. Louis, had to mail condolence letters to 500 students. Federal City College in Washington, D.C., had no notify 16,000 . . . Penn State 10,400 . . . State University of Buffalo 6,150 . . .University of Massachusetts 5,000. And the University's literary college turned away over 400 "qualified" in-state students for this coming fall. 1968 was the first year this University unit was faced with surplus qualified in-state appli- cations. The problem was more or less resolved when the extra students were offered admission to summer and winter terms, or w e r e encouraged to apply to Flint or Dearborn. Half of the -300 accepted the provisional conditions. Last year, 400 surplus in-stat- ers were offered similar options, and this year, even more are being asked to take alternatives to fall admission, or are being turned away for lack of space, even though they are told they are qualified. The possibility of rising ad- mission standards to alleviate the problem has been suggested, but admission officials call that solution unrealistic. Currently, they say, the University has ad- missions standards as high as any public university in t h e country, for in-state as well as out-of-state students. The National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges reports that 35 of its 101 members-the biggest schools in the land-had reject- ed 87.230 qualified freshmen Itwho wanted to enroll this fall. These are the schools that of- fer the broadest educational op- portunities for the least money. They award 30 per cent of all four-year and first professional degress, 40 per cent of all master degrees and 60 per cent of the doctorates. A state universities association spokesman said major reasons cited for the rejections were classroom shortage, inadequate facilities and housing shortages. Mueller's letter, for example, told the students, "No doubt you have heard or read ... that the University of Missouri-St. Louis must limit enrollment ... Our physical facilities are ex- tremely limited and no funds are forthcoming for expanding our program." Missouri - with campuses in opportunities are limited. Costs can be high, too. Tuition costs at junior or community colleges vary wide- ly. Some states, like California, charge no tuition. Nationwide, the average charge is about $300 annually, but few of these schools offer student housing. All of this is, of course, if you can get in. At the St. Louis campus, said university president John Weav- er, "We just don't have another seat. When we will reach the saturation point on the other campuses I just don't know, but already we are at the saturation point in some of the disciplines." Weaver and his staff of vice presidents also said in interviews they don't know when te crunch will be relieved. "We just don't have another seat. When we will reach the saturation point at other cam- puses I just don't know, but already we are at the saturation point in some of the disci- plines."

Its problems-from student financial aid to build- ing new facilities-are, to a degree, what most university presidents face today. 'And what happened to one of the students it rejected is typi- cal, too. Richard Streibel of St. Louis, who wants to be a lawyer, has enrolled in a neighborhood com- munity college. An above-av- erage student whose father owns and operates a kennel, Streibel said his financial planning had envisioned attending a school. where he could live at home. Attending a private or out-of- state school was not financially possible, he said. Streibel could have applied to one of the prestigious private universities. But the "bench- mark cost for attending" these schools-such as those in the Ivy League, Stanford in the West and Duke in the South- runs about $4,000 a year, ac- cording to the Association of American Universities.

The univerity said to "stay even" in 1970 it needed $103.5 million from the state. The gov- ernor, however, has recommend- ed no increase. In addition, Missouri has no new money committed by the state for construction. And with federal construction funds dry- ing up, the school's building fund will be empty when struc- tures now being built are com- pleted. Dale Bowling, vice president for business management, said about three year's lead time is needed to get a building ready for classes. This means, he said, that Missouri will be without expandtd facilities until at least 1974 or 1975. Already, Missouri professors have been shunted to old uni- versity-owned residences for of- fice space, andinsomenbuild- ings hallways have been con- verted into classrooms. In the past, federal assistance meant from one-third to one- half more space for every state or university dollar spent, ac- cording to Ray Bozoni, vice pres- -ident for finance at St. Louis. President Nixon didn't discuss e college construction in his March higher education message to Congress. He called for a $250 million increase to $5,285 billion in higher education Sspending, and proposed legisla- tion to "expand and revamp student aid so that it places more emphasis on helping low- income students than it does to- day." In describing past federal spending as "disjointed, ill-di- rected and without coherent long-range plan," Nixon said: "Something is basically unequal about opporunity for higher ed- ucation when a young person whose family earns more than $15,000 a year is nine times more likely to attend colleges than a young person whose family earns less than $3,000."
