World-Wide Wire McNamara Returns From Viet Nam Visit
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said today on his return from a quick inspection trip to Viet Nam that North Viet Nam was tripling its infiltration of men into the south.
The secretary said the Communists were sending men south at a rate of 4,500 a month with the return of dry weather. During the summer monsoon season the infiltration rate was 1,500 a month, he said.
Britain Sends RAF to Africa
LONDON—(UPI)—Prime Minister Harold Wilson today was expected to dispatch a Royal Air Force strike force to defend Zambian interests on the border with Rhodesia. The government denied troops already were on the way.
The men and planes would be used in reconnaissance flights over the strategic Kariba hydroelectric dam on the border. Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda urgently appealed for British military assistance in protecting the dam complex and said he would look elsewhere if it was not forthcoming.
Johnson Looks at U.S. Economy
JOHNSON CITY—(UPI)President Johnson, aware of the inflationary potential in the Viet Nam war, is seeking to avoid any use of economic controls and rely on voluntary restraint to keep wages, prices and interest rates from spiraling.
The Chief Executive intends to affirm more strongly than ever his belief in the controversial wage-price guideposts in messages to Congress next year, an informed source said.
Cigarette Tax Affects Sales
TOPEKÁ—(UPI)—Kansas and Missouri appeared set today to wage another border dispute, this time over cigarettes.
Two officials of a vending machine association testified Monday that bootlegging cigarettes into Kansas has affected the cigarette industry and the state's economy.
Russell Whiteaker, president, and Charles W. Huston, executive secretary of the Kansas Tobacco and Candy Distributors and Vendors, Inc., appeared before a hearing conducted by the budget department, presided over by Gov. William H. Avery.
"It looks like the Legislature would take a look at the surrounding states and not go too far afield with the tax," Whiteaker said.
Kansas is losing money on sales taxes as well as cigarette taxes because other commodities are purchased in Missouri and other states when Kansans cross the border to buy cigarettes.
Astronauts Ready for Launch
CAPE KENNEDY—(UPI)—With prospects for a Saturday launch "looking fine," Gemini astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell today faced more practice and review sessions for their record 14-days in space.
After spending two hours in dummy capsule rehearsing the major task of stowing two weeks' worth of supplies and refuse in the nooks and crannies of the cramped cabin, the astronauts planned to spend the rest of the day reviewing their long flight plan.
Peace Conclave Ignores Viet Nam
WASHINGTON—(UPI)The theme was peace. But some delegates felt the White House Conference on International Cooperation, now in its second day, ignored the biggest problem of peace-Viet Nam.
The complaint was voiced by two well known participants, pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock and Socialist patriarch Norman Thomas.
Ten from KU Students at March
The March on Washington to mobilize the conscience of America, which took place Saturday, achieved its purpose, Richard Hill, Manhattan junior and a participant in the march, said.
An estimated 35,000 to 40,000 persons comprised the march. Hill said, "Ten from KU—all students—attended."
The march, contrary to many previous demonstrations, had few Beattik-type participants, he said.
"THESE PEOPLE demonstrated that there is a significant sector or cross-section of America that is concerned and is protesting against American involvement in Viet Nam." Hill said.
Hill felt the demonstration was successful for the following reason: "If a demonstration acquaints people with the fact that
"No one can say the demonstration was wild or irresponsible," he added.
The protest march was sponsored by 32 prominent people and the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE).
a problem exists, then it has accomplished its purpose.
THE KU GROUP left last Tuesday in order to attend a convention of the National Coordinating Committee to End the War in Viet Nam. They returned last night.
Hill, who is a member of the steering committee for the KU Viet Nam Committee, said they attended the convention and march because "We wanted to show by our thought and presence that Kansans care about the War."

Services Slated Today For Ellis B. Stouffer
Dean Stouffer, 81, died Wednesday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after an extended illness.
Private burial services were held Saturday morning in Memorial Park Cemetery here.
Serving with Stouffer on the University budget committee for 21 years was Raymond Nichols, vice-chancellor of finance and University executive secretary.
DEAN STOUFFER served KU for 41 years in various teaching and administrative positions.
He joined the faculty in 1914 as an assistant professor of mathematics.
G. BALEY PRICE, professor of math said "The greatness of a university is measured by the stature of its faculty. Dean Stouffer, as a research scholar and editor, contributed to the development of mathematics in the U.S. As a teacher, chairman of the department of mathematics and administrator, eh contributed to the development of the University of Kansas. The University of Kansas mourns the passing of one of its finest."
For 28 years he served as chairman of the University budget committee. Other administrative assignments included chairman of the mathematics department for four years, three years as assistant to the Chancellor and twice he was chairman of the faculty committee advising the Board of Regents on the selection of a new Chancellor.
"DEAN STOUFFER made major contributions to the development of the University through his chairmanship of the budget committee, particularly in the 1530's and 1940's," Nichols said. "This was because of his object-
"Mr. Stouffer was both a scholar and a wonderful teacher. He was loved by his students as few faculty members are loved," Florence Black, professor emeritus of the mathematics department said.
tivity, fairness and sound judgment on all matters affecting the University."
Wealthy Babcock, associate professor of mathematics, was in Dean Stouffer's integral calculus class in 1916 when she was a sophomore at KU.
"Dean Stouffer was an excellent and inspiring teacher both in undergraduate and graduate courses. As head of the mathematics department he created a wonderful feeling of trust and good will among the members of the department by his calm judicial thinking on all problems and his efficient management." Miss Babcock said.
Ellis B. Stouffer
"HE WAS ONE of the finest scholars that I have ever known. To the University of Kansas he gave completely unsellish service, plus his sound judgment and wisdom for many years," she added.
"When the history is written of the life of the University of Kansas during the middle twentieth century the name of Dean Ellis Stouffer must take its place at or very near the top of the
list of men who made major contributions to her strength and stature." George B. Smith, vice chancellor for institutional planning and Dean of the University said.
"HE SERVED WITH distinction in posts of leadership during days of depression and war and was the coordinating force under the tenure of two chancellors and into the initial year of a third," he said.
"He was a gentleman, a scholar and a warm friend to all. Above all he was dedicated to the University of Kansas, its faculty and its student body. It is through the service of such men that institutions grow and flourish. Those of us who knew him well will be forever in his debt for all he did for us personally and for the University," the Vice Chancellor said.
IRVIN E. YOUNGBERG, executive secretary of the Endowment Association and personal friend of the late Stouffer said, "To those who knew him, Dean Stouffer was an ideal as an administrator, as a teacher, as a scholar and as a man."
"His contributions to the University of Kansas were great and many and his influence on the University will live on forever." Youngbery said.
William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School said, "Under Dean Stouffer's leadership, the graduate school at the University of Kansas grew in both size and reputation, some of its programs attaining national or international prominence.
"DEAN STOUFFER was an efficient administrator, who established certain procedures still basic in graduate school operations," he said.
"He initiated university fellowships and scholarships for graduate research fund. A signed scholar himself, he was concerned with high standards of accomplishment for both students and faculty and with the importance
