VDIGHT si "X' persons under 18 cannot be admitted Two books for EarthrDay :: I- A FEDERAL GRAND JURY indicted Chevron Oil Co. yester- day on charges of willful violation of government regulations re- sulting in a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year. If the firm is convicted on all counts, the 900 separate offenses alleged in the indictment could result in fines totalling $1.8 million. The grand jury said Chevron knowingly and willingly failed to install and maintain storm chokes or similar subsurface devices on 90 oil wells in the gulf off the Louisiana coast. , Officials of Chevron Oil Co. yesterday vigorously denied any vio- lation of law with respect to the charges in the indictment of the federal grand jury. In Washington, Interior Secretary Walter J. Hickel said his de- partment would "continue to prosecute as vigorously as possible" those who pollute the Gulf of Mexico in offshore drilling operations. * * * SOUTH VIETNAM'S Supreme Court ruled last night that the conviction of National Assembly Deputy Tran Ngoe Chau by a military court was unconstitutional. Chau was sentenced to 11 years in prison on March 5 after a conviction on charges of pro-communist activities. The 46-year-old deputy was an outspoken member of the political opposition to President Nguyen Van Thieu. Many South Vietnamese claimed Chau was railroaded into jail by the Thieu regime. THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE unanimously ap- proved yesterday the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Harry A. Blackmun, President Nixon's third choice to fill a year-old vacancy. Majority leader Mike Mansfield, (D-Mont) said yesterday that the Senate may possibly take up the nomination issue this Friday. The Senate committee's report termed Blackmun "thoroughly qualified" to sit on the Supreme Court. "Judge Blackmun impressed the committee as a man of learning and humility," the report said. I * * * THE STATE SENATE narrowly defeated a motion yesterday afternoon to table a controversial abortion reform bill. Sixteen senators vote down fourteen others who sought to sus- pend debate on the issue at the motion.of Senator Charles Young- blood (D-Detroit). Youngblood contended Senate action on the bill is useless because House Speaker William Ryan has indicated the bill will not be handled there until after fall primary elections. Youngblood also said the Supreme Court is expected to make a precedent-setting ruling on a District of Columbia abortion case. Under the bill now up for Senate debate, any woman could re- ceive an abortion of she were no more than 90 days pregnant andj a resident of the state at least that long. * * * A LICENSING BILL that could 'raise more than $40 million in revenue from off-track betting parlors passed preliminary floor action in the state House last Monday night. Sponsored by Representative George Montgomery (D-Detroit), the bill to license off-track "pari-mutual agents" would allow any city with a population of at least 15,000 to approve adoption of licensed betting parlors by resolution of its governing board. County super- visors also could approve the licensing of agents. The agent could keep two per cent of his take but would have to remit 11%/ per cent of his take to the state; the licensing city or county in turn would get six per cent of the state's cut. By The Associated Press President Nixon said yes- terday that American troops will be withdrawn from Cam- bodia by June 30. Speaking to members of t h e Senate and House committees on foreign affairs and armed servic- es, Nixon also indicated that U.S. forces w i11 penetrate no deeper t h a n 21.7 miles into Cambodia without congressional approval. The President's statements were disclosed by Rep. Thomas Morgan (D-Pa.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. At his meeting with members of the Senate and H o u s e Armed S e r v i c e s Committee yesterday morning, Nixon said t h a t U.S, military activities in Cambodia would achieve their goals in no more than six to eight weeks. However, critics of the Presi- dent's Indochina policy said later that Nixon's statements: failed to remove their doubts. Meanwhile, five senators intro- duced a bill that would 'terminate U.S. operations in Cambodia with- in 30 days. The proposal would also termi- nate U.S. military activities in Laos and Vietnam by the end ob this year, while allowing the act- ual withdrawal' of U.S. forces to be completed by June 30, 1971, unless Congress approves an ex- tension. The House of Representatives is expected to approve today a bill which would prohibit use of U.S. ground combat troops in Cambo- dia except as deemed necessary by the President to protect U.S. lives in South Vietnam. In a related development yes- terday, the Pentagon disclosed that the number of recent large- scale a i r strikes against North Vietnam was four - not three as had been previously reported. Other developments in t h e Cambodia issue included: -An appeal by U.N. Secretary- General U Thant for a new inter- national conference to "end the old war in South Vietnam and the new war in Cambodia; and -- An Indication from a state department spokesman that Nix- on may have acted against the advice of Secretary of State Wil- liam Rogers in ordering U.S. ground troops into Cambodia. Cambodia Line -Associated Press A NORTH VIETNAMESE SOLDIER is captured by U.S. troops near the town of Snoul, Cambodia, during yesterday's unsuccessful attempt by the allies to open a third front in the Indochinese country. U.S.forcsin Ca-mbodia blocked bycom munists, poor weather, By The Associated Press Bad weather and heavy fire by Communist forces prevented U.S. troops from opening a third front in Cambodia yesterday. The first heavy resistance by North Vietnamese troops to the U.S. military effort in Cambodia came at Snoul, a t o w n in the Fishhook area. The Fishhook ar- ea is said to be the site of the headquarters of Communist forc- es in South Vietnam. About 2,000 North Vietnamese 'U' COMMENCEMENT Grads hear WhFleming About 5,300 graduating stu- dents attended the University's commencement exercises last Saturday and were addressed by Michigan State University Pres- ident Clifton Wharton Jr. and University President Robben Fleming. In his speech, Fleming said that a university needs to main- tain a balance between the pres- sures of the outside public and the pressures inside the univer- sity community "The public is increasingly skeptical of the ability of the University to govern itself, and the members of t h e internal university community are in- creasingly fearful that they will be controlled from the outside," Fleming said. The balance cannot be main- tained by student destruction, the National G u a r d or auto- matic expulsion Fleming said, "but rather by a firm resolve by students, faculty, administra- tion, and governing boards that they will live together in a ra- tional manner." Fleming also criticized Vice President Spiro Agnew for his recent attacks on universities for their failure to stem the oc- currence of violence a n d for eroding admissions standards in enrolling minority students. "Every college and university which dedicates itself to an in- crease of opportunities for black students does so in the belief that America cannot be true to its heritage unless it is willing to correct long-standing inequi- ties." Wharton, who delivered the principal address, also spoke to the issue of black admissions and commended Fleming a n d the Regents for the minority admissions plan established last month. Wharton emphasized t h a t students as citizens have "every right to work for the reform and improvement of the uni- versity, and of society, but not for its total disruption, while e n j o y i n g the opportunities which it offers." In response to critics who con- tend that opening up the Uni- versity to black students would mean a fall in educational standards, Wharton said that "historically as enrollments have grown, so has the quality of American higher education." He quoted three nationwide studies which showed that the University, which had 16 de- partments ranked among t h e top ten in 1924, had 17 depart- ments in 1957 and 20 in 1964 similarily ranked. "I leave it to you to judge if the University of Michigan has experienced a decline in its quality and standards over the last three decades which saw the enrollment increase by 300 per cent." The University also confer- red f o u r honorary degrees. Wharton and former Assistant Secretary of Labor Esther Pet- erson were awarded honorary doctor of laws degrees. Librarian of Congress Law- rence Quincy Mumford received an honorary doctor of literature degree and Prof. Bertrand H. Bronson of t h e University of California was given the degree doctor of humane letters. at Snoul and in surrounding rub- ber plantations prevented a U.S. armored column from occupying the town, which is eight miles' from the border of South Viet- nam. The armored column was parti of an attempt to land 6,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops in the central highlands, near the Fishhook area. O n 1 y 500 troops were able to land and establish an artillery and patrol base. According to sources in the' field, the operation around the Fishhook area h a s been stalled since it began last Thursday on orders of President Nixon. Bad weather yesterday also pre- vented a planned helicopter as- sault in the area where the Com- munist base is said to be situated. When the helicopters were able to reach their landing zones, sev- eral c a m e under heavy fire by Communist forces. At least one battalion of some 500 men was forced to turn back to South Viet- nam, field reports said. "Just as the choppers started in," one soldier said, "both sides of the treeline opened up with au-, tomatic rifle fire." The first helicopter took at least a dozen hits, but there was no immediate report on whether there were any casualties or heli- copters downed. Meanwhile, Communist forces yesterday pushed to within 27 miles of Phnom Penh, the Cambo- dian capital. An officer in t h e Cambodian army estimated that the Communist forces numbered 3,000. The officer added that he did not believe the drive by Commun- ist troops could be halted without reinforcements. As outlined in Nixon's speech' last Thursday t h e objective of the military activity in Cambodia1 Dykstra, 'U' bus ad prof, dies at 63 of heart ailment is to drive Communist troops from the areas they have been using as sanctuaries from allied forces in neighboring South Viet- nam, and to destroy the Commun- ist headquarters in the Fishhoobo area. Since the operation started, however, many of the Communist forces have fled from the areas before the allied forces arrived. It is expected that once the Ameri- can and South Vietnamese return to Vietnam, the Communists will return to their sanctuaries in. Cambodia. Prof. Gerald Oscar Dykstra of the business administration school, died on Friday, April 24. The death of the 63-year-old Dykstra was attributed to a heart condition. His passing brought to a close a long history of involvement with the University. Dykstra received three degrees from the University, a bachelor of arts in 1927, bachelor of laws in 1930, and master of business administration, c u m laude, in 1936. He joined the Uni- versity faculty in 1950, after hav- ing reached the rank of full pro- fessor at Ohio State University's College of Commerce.

At the University, Dykstra taught business law. In 1968, stu- dents honored him with the Dis- tinguished Teacher Award. Dean Floyd Bond of the business administration school said, "That with his passing, the University has lost one of the most dedicated members of the teaching profes- sion. He taught with spirit and de- votion. His lectures were superb. Few men have had as great or as constructive an influence on his students. He will live in fond memory of thousands of business school alumni, now scattered throughout the world." Dykstra was born May 13, 1906, in Allegan, Michigan. He is sur- vived by his wife, Lillian Green Dykstra, whom he married in 1936, and his mother, Mrs. Leonard Calkins of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
