The lighter side
Views of Chicago riots Which version is right?
Bv Dick West
(UPI Columnist)
Washington (UPI) I am beginning to get a vague impression that there may be some disagreement over the clashes between demonstrators and police during the Democratic convention.
It is nothing I can put a finger on, but little things I read and hear lead me to believe that two sharply contrasting versions of those incidents have emerged.
If you happen to be among the 76 people in the United States who have not yet denounced one side or the other, it is high time you became actively opinionated.
To help you decide which side to castigate, I have prepared a synopsis of the two versions, one of which will surely make you see red.
A small group of wholesome, well-mannered, clean-cut college kids gathered in Chicago to observe the convention first hand. They felt the experience would help them make better grades in political science class this fall and perhaps win a good citizenship award.
Being lovers of fresh air and sunshine, they met in Grant Park to hold seminars and compare notes. The atmosphere was one of scholarly repose.
But suddenly a hostile army of truncheon-wielding policemen descended upon the apple-cheeked youths and demanded that they disperse.
"Certainly, sir," their leaders said. "We have the greatest respect of law and order, particularly as exemplified by the Chicago police force, and we would never stay where we aren't wanted."
As they quietly disbanded, the brutal cops, who loved nothing better than to beat up innocent and defenseless students, fell upon them with clubs and tear gas.
Israeli guns shell Jordan in retaliation
By United Press International
Long-range Israeli guns shelled a heavily populated city in Jordan Tuesday in what Jordanian officials said was retaliation for an Arab guerrilla rocket on an Israeli border town.
Israeli officials said Jordanian forces fired Czech-made Katusha rockets at the Israeli town of Beisan Monday night. It was the first reported use of rockets on the Israelia-Jordanian front lines.
The Jordanian army, however, disclaimed any knowledge of a rocket attack on Beisan and said the attack probably was carried out by Arab guerrillas.
A hostile army of disciples of Joseph Stalin and the Marquis de Sade swooped down upon Chicago, bent not only upon disrupting the convention but upon seizing the entire city for use as a base for overthrowing the U.S. government by force and violence.
They marched unopposed as far as Grant Park, where they were confronted by a handful of
courageous policemen, who appealed for reason and fair play.
The savage mob turned upon the kindly cops and committed unspeakable atrocities. Their cowardly behavior mocked all decency and set back civilization 1,000 years.
Only the swift arrival of a tiny band of reinforcements saved the country from a Communist takeover.
Women may invade Princeton campus
Princeton, N.J. (UPI)—After 222 years as an all-male sanctuary, Princeton University may soon become a happy hunting ground for about 1,000 women looking for either a B.A. or a Mrs.
A 10-member committee, headed by Dr. Gardner Patterson, has recommended that Princeton lower the barriers and admit women as undergraduates to the 222-year-old university. The recommendation was contained in a 56-page report submitted by the committee Friday and released today.
In setting the figure at 1,000, Patterson, a professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton, noted that the advantages of coeducation are lost if the ratio of men to women is more than three to one. Princeton currently has 3,200 male undergraduates.
The report estimated the cost of providing accommodations for 1,000 women would be between $24.2 and $25.6 million, figures which the committee said were "surprisingly reasonable."
Princeton President Robert Goheen endorsed the committee's findings and told reporters that the report was drawn up after Sarah Lawrence College turned down an informal merger proposal.
One of the reasons cited for the proposed change in the school's status is that Princeton is not drawing as many top students as it has in the past.
"All too often we sense that we are seeing very good applicants from a school but not the top ones," the report said. "Moreover too often many of the students who apply and who we would like to have at Princeton go elsewhere."
'Nixon needs no debate Agnew tells Convention
Casper, Wyo. (UPI) -Richard Nixon's running mate said Tuesday he did not think Nixon should debate Hubert Humphrey because the GOP ticket was well out in front of Humphrey and Edmund Muskie.
Vice presidential candidate Spiro T. Agnew, who keyed the Texas Republican Convention in Fort Worth before flying to Wyoming for an evening rally, said he thought it was generally considered poor tactics to debate an opponent when "you're so far ahead."
"I don't think Mr. Nixon needs to debate," Agnew said after meeting with campaign aides in Casper. "Mr. Humphrey is doing a good job of debating himself."
In Fort Worth, Agnew told the Texas Republican Convention that the United States must gain new respect for its leadership before this country can lead the way to a lasting peace.
"Richard Nixon is the one man who can gain the respect
"Mr. Humphrey sees things primarily in terms of government power," Agnew said, "while Mr. Nixon sees things primarily in terms of people power."
for leadership the nation needs," Agnew said.

Muskie talks to labor
The candidate's next stop was St. Louis Tuesday night.
New York (UPI)—Vice Presidential Candidate Edmund S. Muskie led an unofficial task force of Democratic luminaries Tuesday on a pilgrimage for votes from labor and the elderly.
During a one-day visit to New York, the Maine senator conferred with AFL-CIO President George Meany, addressed a convention of the 35,000-member International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers (IUE) and talked to the Golden Ring Council of Senior Citizens.
Meeting: 7:30 p. m. Sept. 18
Muskie told the 800 delegates to the IUE convention, expected to consider endorsing a presidential ticket later this week, that Republican presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon was "the same Nixon" who served as vice president during three recessions.
Declaring that there werer "only two men" who stood a chance at winning the election, he urged support for Democratic candidate Hubert H. Humphrey.
