North Viets beneficiaries
Soviets step up aid
LONDON — UPI) — High Communist diplomats said today the Kremlin had decided up on program of massive military aid to North Vietnam "to forestall an American success."
The diplomats said the decision followed a recent reappraisal of Soviet Vietnam policy in the light of what they termed "growing indications of threatening American escalation of the war."
"We just cannot stand by and watch the destruction and attempted submission of the country," the Communists said.
The diplomats would not specify what Russia will send under the stepped up aid plan. They said Haniol would determine its own needs. It appeared from their comments that Russia would send heavy and sophisticated equipment including aircraft and a variety of rockets.
The diplomats said that in the light of the mushrooming Vietnam conflict, chances of an East-West accord must be considered extremely slender.
The informants made it clear, however, Russia still wanted to conclude an agreement with the
United States and other nations banning the spread of nuclear weapons.
COLUMBIA. Mo. —(UPI)— About 3,500 dormitory residents at the University of Missouri boycotted the evening meal Monday in protest of an $80 increase in dormitory fees which they said brought no corresponding increase in services.
Today's protests
Pearson joins Pulitzer debate
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A new dispute raged over the Pulitzer Prizes today but to the man in the middle, columnist Drew Pearson, it was all old news.
"The brass hats in the industry have no love for me," Pearson said Monday night. And that is why, he said, he was not surprised when he was passed over for the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting last week.
PAUL SANN, EXECUTIVE editor of the New York Post and a member of the national reporting prize jury, said Monday the jury had unanimously recommended a Pulitzer for Pearson and his colleague, Jack Anderson, for their disclosures about the financial affairs of Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn.
But the Pulitzer Prize advisory board, which can accept or reject the jury's recommendations, chose Stanley W. Penn and Monroe W. Karmin of the "Wall Street Journal" for the national reporting prize—a selection approved by the trustees of Columbia University, who have the final say. Penn and Karmin exposed links between organized crime and gambling in the Bahamas.
Sann, who charged that the prizes are "tainted to a very serious degree" when the advisory board ignores the jury's recommendations, said the national jury had never seen the Penn-Karmin story because it was never submitted to them.
THE PRIZE dispute was the second in recent days. Last week, advisory board member Joseph Pulitzer Jr., publisher of the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" and grandson of the founder of the prizes, protested when the board bypassed a jury recommendation of Harrison E. Salisbury of the "New York Times" for the international reporting prize in favor of R. John Hughes of the "Christian Science Monitor."
University officials said the total said to be participating was misleading as a large number of residents generally miss Monday's meals anyway.
Students indicated they believed they had made their point and would call for no further boycots.

COLUMBIA. S.C. —(UPI)—
Predominantly Negro Allen University lay in seige today as students entered the fourth day of protests against the resignation of its white dean of faculties.
Students lay in droves on the grass, squatted atop the spoke-studded wall enclosing the campus and threw up crude barricades blocking the entrances to classrooms.
Dean V. Dewey Annakin resigned after the university's board of trustees rehired a biology professor he had fired for "unprofessional conduct and incompetence."
Annakin had set a goal two years ago of gaining accreditation from the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges for Allen. Students, fearing his resignation would cripple chances for such recognition, are demanding that the trustees retract their decision.
