Debt Recall Solution Posed
Rep. Richard L. Roudebush, R-Ind., said earlier this month that the United States could solve the problem of its dwindling gold reserves by calling in the debts owed by European countries.
He claimed that if President Johnson insisted on European nations paying their debts "we would not have to ship a single ounce on balance and, in truth, the gold outflow could be reversed overnight."
U.S. Jets Cause Big Blow Up
SAIGON, South Viet Nam—(UPI)—A force of 130 American jet fighters and bombers blasted supply depots in Communist North Viet Nam today. The commander of the U.S. Air Force in South Viet Nam estimated destruction at "80 to 90 per cent."
Maj. Gen. Joseph Moore told a news conference that approximately 60 U.S. Air Force planes and between 60 and 70 Navy aircraft participated in strikes against Bien Son supply depot about 35 miles north of Vinh in North Viet Nam.
All American planes returned safely.
Sukarno Upsets Foreign Oil
JAKARTA, Indonesia—(UPI)—President Sukarno today placed all foreign-owned oil companies in Indonesia under government control.
Sukarno's action affects three American firms-Stanvac, Caltex and Pan American. It also applies to the British and Dutch owned Shell Oil Co.
These firms provide the Indonesian government with an estimated annual foreign exchange earning of $125 million.
Astronauts to Build Prestige
CAPE KENNEDY—(UPI)—Two U.S. astronauts and a moon probe, badly upstaged by a Russian who does somersaults in space, will try to save a little national face in a cosmic doubleheader starting Sunday.
The astronauts, John W. Young and Virgil I. Grissom, planned to take part today in a workout of the worldwide, 15-station network that will follow their three-orbit course through the sky next Tuesday.
The United States plans no somersaults and no television pictures. The astronauts are to sit still, manipulate some controls and get down at the end of three orbits.
Capistrano Awaits Swallows
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif.—(UPI)—Thousands of swal- lows were expected to arrive at this picturesque Franciscan mission, upholding a 188-year-old tradition for punctuality.
Observers Thursday night reported that there was "not a sign of the swallows" Thursday. Sometimes scout swallows arrive as much as a day or two in advance of the main party.
By tradition, the small gray birds with the forked tails arrive at the mission San Juan Capistrano March 19, build and repair nests within its sheltered walls and under its eaves, bear their young and then head south for Central America on Oct. 23, the day of San Juan.

Slavic Experts Will Meet at KU
Preparations are underway for the holding of the 1965 Midwest Slavic Area Conference at KU.
The Conference will be held on April 9 and 10 in the Kansas Union. Over 150 scholars and experts in the field of Soviet and Slavic Area Studies are expected to attend.
"It is the first time such a conference will have been held in Lawrence and this is indeed a great honor for us," Herbert J. Ellison, chairman of the department of Soviet and Slavic Area Studies, said.
MIDWEST SLAVIC Area Studies is a branch of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies. Every year experts in this field hold a conference where they present papers and hold discussions in the field of Russian and other East European affairs.
One of the highlights of this year's conference will be the participation by two of Germany's most distinguished scholars in the field. They are Dr. Richard Lowenthal of The Free University in Berlin and Professor Maximilian Braun of Gotingen University.
Dr. Ellison said, "Prof. Braun is
one of the most distinguished schol are in the field of Russian literature and Dr. Lowenthal is among the world's very few living specialists on International Communism."
PROF. BRAUN will speak on "Dostoevsky: Artist or Philosopher" and Dr. Lowenthal's discussion will be on "World Communism and the Sino-SovietSplit."
KU will be represented by Prof. Roy D. Laird, associate professor of political science, and by Prof. Harry Shaffer, associate professor of economics.
