'No win' policy protested
Minister leads Washington march
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Thousands of persons marched, sang and prayed for military victory in Vietnam Saturday in a $5\frac{1}{2}$-hour demonstration that wound down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Washington Monument.
The "March for Victory," organized and led by radio preacher Carl McIntire to protest what he called President Nixon's "no-win" policy in Vietnam, went off without major incident.
But brown-shirted Nazis stood at the fringes of the march with signs reading "drop Nixon on Hanoi" and "Marxism is Jewish."
Bearded hippies heckled speakers and set off a stink bomb at the rally. Police arrested a Nazi and a spectator who scuffed.
Park police estimated 50,000 persons participated in the march and rally, which combined patriotic fervor with a revivalist atmosphere of hymn singing and prayer. But Jerry Wilson, District of Columbia police chief, estimated 10,000 to 15,000 participants.
The crowd was far below the more than 250,000 "antiwar" protestors who staged the biggest demonstration in the capital's history last November.
Chemistry students receive HEW grant
Graduate chemistry students at the University of Kansas lacking specific requirements for teaching are being aided by the new Education Professions Development Act (EDPA).
The program, instituted last year by a Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) grant, and directed by Clark E. Bricker, professor of chemistry at KU, is aimed at preparing the students for teaching at the community college level, said Richard Middaugh, associate professor of chemistry who tutors some of the students.
Middaugh said the program helped students who had gone to colleges that had not given them satisfactory undergraduate
preparation. It also helps students who lack necessary requirements because they decided too late in their college career to pursue graduate work.
The first year of the program. Middaugh said, includes some undergraduate work and weekly studies to fill gaps that might be present yet not large enough to warrant the need to take a full course.
During the second year, he said, the students take more graduate courses and have the opportunity for teaching experience.
Middaugh said there were five students presently in the program. Middaugh and Robert V. Dilts, visiting professor from Vanderbilt University are tutors.

Democratic Gov. Lester Maddox of Georgia, a featured speaker, addressed his audience as "God-fearing, flag-waving Americans" and drew cheers with a ringing denunciation of national leaders.
He spent much of his 20-minute address assailing the federal government's school desegregation policies.

"The only military victories this country has had since World War II have been in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama," declared Maddox.
While Maddox spoke, about 200 youthful hippies sang "Dixie," and heckled him with shouts of "sig heil" and "go home." One of them set off a stink bomb which exploded in a puff of yellow smoke.
