A statement by the council, signed by the presidents of 21 major universities, emphasized that most American campuses have remained peaceful and that most students and faculty have continued to carry on their work and to seek orderly change and reform. On the undisturbed campuses and among the majority of orderly students, however, there are widely shared discontents which extremists are at times able to manipulate to destructive ends, the council said in its statement, a declaration on campus unrest. Moreover, even in the absence of violence, there has developed among some of the young a cult of irrationality and Incivility which severely strains attempts to maintain sensible and decent human communication. Within this cult there is a minule group of destroyers who have abandoned hope in todays society.

The job is to counteract the revolution of the new left radicals with the principles of the American revolution, he said.

The request triggered speculation that at least one juror had held out for the lesser charge. Sirhan took the verdict stoically, staring straight ahead, but his attorneys said he was disappointed.

If I was able to get over there Id do it myself, says the father of a crewman whose body was recovered from the wreckage of the EC121 reconnaissance plane shot down by North Korea. The father, Richard Sweeney of Chicago, also said he regrets that seizure of die intelligence ship USS Pueblo last year by North Koreans did not lead to measures that might have kept them from shooting down toe plane. PERSONAL OPINION he My personal reaction, said, is that I dont think our boys are getting enough cover over there. The Pueblo should have taught us something. The Pentagon said Thursday that bodies found in the sea where the plane was downed were those of Sweeneys only son, Aviation Electronics Technician l.C. Richard E. Sweeney, 31. and of Lt. (j.g.) Joseph R. Ribar, 28, of Abridge, Pa. Ribars sister, Jean Taylor, said she thought U.S. reaction to the Pueblo seizure created a precedent that led to the downing of toe plane. URGED BOMBING After the Pueblo affair, we should have bombed them, We Mrs. Taylor said. shouldnt have proved the United States is so friendly." Asked what action she thought the United States should take now, she said, choking up, I just dont know what they should do." Sweeney was prominent in high school football, basketball and baseball. He enlisted in the Navy at age 20 and was assigned to a second tour of duty in Japan 32 years ago. In addition to his parents, he is survived by a married sister and his widow, Yoko Sweeney of Mishima, Japan. NO INDICATION Mrs. Taylor said she and her mother had no idea Ribar was serving aboard reconnaissance flights. There was no he was on the indication plane, she said. He never mentioned it in his letters. Ribar enlisted in the Navy in 1939 after graduating from high school in Ambridge, a small steel mill town just north of Pittsburgh. not fair game, the President told a news conference. "They will not be in the future," he declared. They will be protected. That is not a threat. It is merely a statement of fact.

EC121 The propeller-drive- n was shot down by North Korean jets Monday (Washington time). Nixon said both U.S. and Soviet radar sightings definitely established that the U.S. plane was "approximately 90 miles at sea at the time of the attack far beyond the claimed by North Korea. limit HUSKY WITH TENSION This attack was unpro- voked. it was deliberate, it was without warning, Nixon said in a grave voice that seemed husky with emotional tension. Nixon said the reconnaissance flights were immediately suspended after toe EC121 was lost but that he had ordered such missions resumed. He emphasized the few flights would be made with protec-- , tion but declined to say what type of protection would be provided. NOT FINAL He stressed that the decision to continue flights with protection was not necessarily the final U.S. step. Our actions in this matter will be determined by what happens in the future, he said. Two bodies have been from the Sea of Japan since the EC121 went down and no hope is held out for survival of any of the other 29. Although clearly concerned about the potential gravity of the confrontation with North Korea, Nixon was somewhat optimistic about the situation in Vietnam.

Romv.lo Soldiers On Alert In Prague (AP) - Hundreds soldiers PRAGUE Czechoslovak moved into Prague today to counter any demonstrations that might develop protesting tlie replacement of Alexander Dubcek as Comunist Party chief. After a crisis meeting of the of partys Central the Committee, government radio and television stations Thursday night announced Dubceks replacement by Gustav Husak, the dour pro-- ; Moscow head of the Slovak Party. Strong police forces were on the alert, and a dozen police vans were parked near the Soviet Embassy during the night. But there were no demonstrations. Prague Airport reopened to normal traffic today after closing to commercial planes Thursday night. PLAN MEETINGS Students and young workers were reported planning meet ings to determine how they would react to the leadership change. Although Dubcek, 47, lost much of his wildly enthusiastic following as he was forced to make concession after concession in the wake of the Soviet invasion last August, Husak is generally disliked and mistrusted by freedom-minde- d trade union- ists and students. After the announcement of his appointment, Husak spoke on the radio and television ami called on the people to keep calm and support the new leadership. We are not giving up any of the great ideas which entered our public life last year, he said, but it is necessary to see what, where and in what order they can be put into practice. DISSOLVE CRISIS The first main task is to lead our society out of this state of crisis, he continued. To make some progress it is indispensable at this time to introduce more discipline both in party and social life. Some people imagine freedom is boundless, unlimited . . . but m every ordered state there must be certain rules of tlie game, primarily adherence to laws, adherence to social, party and civil discipline and primarily emphasis on honest work.
