Soviets Question Pilots
BERLIN—(UPI)—Soviet authorities are investigating the "personal responsibility" of three U.S. Air Force officers shot down over East Germany on an alleged spy mission, an East German government spokesman said today.
"In order to file charges, one must have evidence," the foreign ministry spokesman told UPI.
He said it is "unlikely" the three Americans who were shot down Tuesday will be tried by an East German court. He said it is not yet determined if the Soviets have a "legal right" to try the airmen.
The spokesman said the three Americans are now in Russian custody and undergoing questioning by Soviet officials.
Forgery in Baker Case
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—An accountant charged today that his name was forged on one of Bobby Baker's federal tax returns.
In an affidavit, Milton L. Hauft, the accountant, claimed that his signature on the Baker statement, as well as on a tax return for the Carousel Motel which Baker partly owned, were forgeries.
The affidavit was read to reporters by Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., shortly before the start of a showdown meeting of the Senate Rules Committee to determine the future of the nearly five-month-old investigation into the business and financial transactions of former Senate Aide Robert G. Baker.
Rocket Lab Fails
CAPE KENNEDY—(UPI)The United States today failed in an attempt to rocket a tiny gold-plated laboratory 23,000 miles into space to learn more about the earth's magnetic field.
The 33-pound probe plunged into the South Atlantic off the coast of South America after the upper stage of the four-stage Blue Scout Jr. rocket failed to ignite at an altitude of several hundred miles.
The Air Force said the payload, which separated from its $500,000 booster before impact, radioed back some data on the earth's magnetic field but scientists said it was not known if any of the data would be useful.
Birchers Oppose Bill
LOS ANGELES—(UPI)—The John Birch Society was on record today as opposing current civil rights legislation before Congress, branding the measure as giving the federal government "tremendous dictatorial power."
John Rousselot, former Republican Congressman from California and now western states governor for the Birch Society, made the announcement yesterday on the civil rights measure.
Rousselot told a news conference that the society's national council met in Pasadena, Calif., March 7 and formulated its statement on the measure. He quoted that statement as saying: "Congress has never seriously considered a more dangerous piece of legislation."
Part of a $750 grant to the architecture department from the Tile Council of America has been used to buy a radial arm drill press for use in a special model shop.
Recognition of the positive role that Latin American universities can play in national development was considered one of the most significant results of the Fifth Seminar on Higher Education in the Americas which ended here today.
According to the conditions of the grant, up to $250 may be used to purchase equipment, while the remaining $500 is allocated for scholarships or student loan funds.
The participants were eager to listen and participate, Deal said. "Attendance for nearly all functions was 100 per cent."
Grant Put to Use
"Wide associations with Americans and with other Latin American educators were very beneficial to the staff, the assistant director, of the Serripar, said.
"The group has been very well received on campus and in Lawrence." Deal said. "During their stay, they visited in the homes of faculty members and in various campus organized living groups where they were hospitably received."
THE GROUP WAS most impressed by the organized housing here, he said. "There is no such thing as organized housing in Latin American universities. In fact, many universities in Latin America aren't located on campuses, but are spread throughout the large cities."
"THE PERSONAL AND professional report between members of the seminar with North American representatives and among themselves has been, perhaps, the most valuable benefit of the seminar," John P. Augelli, chairman of the Latin American Area Studies Program, and associate director of the Seminar, said.
The purpose of the plan is to extend aid to talented and needy students, as well as to encourage high standards in the teaching of courses on building materials.
"The only way to progress is through education," Jose Mariano Da Rocha Filho, director of the Universidade de Santa Maria, Brazil, said. "I have found the seminar very helpful, and the results, the best available on the subject of education in the Americas."
"The group has worked hard," George R. Waggoner, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and director of the seminar, said. "And all the departments and schools of KU have co-operated canably."

For six weeks, 19 educators, representing 10 countries in Latin America, have been meeting in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union to hear lectures and participate in discussions concerning the roles their universities can play in national development.
Da Rocha also expressed his pleasure in the frank discussions that were encouraged.

"The exchanges of experiences here were very valuable, and I shall be able to apply much of what I have learned here," Padre Andres D. Reghenez, rector of the Universidad Catolica de Santa Fe, Argentina, said. "The seminar took place in a very cordial environment."

OTHER EDUCATORS commented on the high quality of the speakers who addressed the group at various times throughout the seminar. Among the guest speakers of national reputation who spoke to the participants were Gregory Wolfe, member of the Committee for Economic Development; William Spencer, assistant secretary of the Council on Higher Education in the American Republics; Dr. Homer Rainey, professor of higher education at the University of Colorado, and Robert Scott, political scientist from the University of Illinois and the Brookings Institute.

six weeks of the Seminar the group visited Topeka, Kansas City, the KU Medical Center, Kansas State University, and Fort Leavenworth, as well as other universities in Kansas.
The results of the seminar have been so successful that already ground work is being done on further exchange programs between KU and various Latin American universities, Prof. Augelli said.
"It is also significant that the members of the seminar are making plans to work with each other after they return to their home universities." he said.
