One of the resolutions propos ed a pullout unless the govern ment in Saigon begins major re forms within 60 days. The other resolutions, intro duced by Sens. Frank Church (D Idaho) and Mark Hatfield (R - Ore.), urged American withdraw al after a “reasonable interval” to allow for orderly transition and to safeguard U.S. troops and South Vietnamese who might might choose to leave with them. All-night session planned The only definite decisions to come out of Congress are plans to keep the House in session all night on Tuesday, according to Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal (D - N.Y.). He said enough speakers have been lined up to talk through the night. “I think this is going to be the largest citizen participation of its kind in the history of this country,” he said. Plans for the Moratorium — meaning suspension of normal activities—include rallies, speech es, marches and religious services from coast to coast, culminating in a 5 p.m. candlelight procession around the White House. Indications are that some form of activity connected with the Mo ratorium will take place in every state. Sponsors plan to have 45,000 marchers in the Washington pro cession. They will be led by the widow of the Rev. Dr. Martin Lu ther King, Jr. Names of war dead will be read at hundreds of ceremonies in cluding one in New York’s Wall Street where financial workers are scheduled to take part along with Mayor John Lindsay and for mer Dep.

But Chancellor Glenn Dumke of the nine-campus California State Col leges prohibited dismissal of class es and ordered disciplinary ac tion against any professors who disobey. The New York City school board will let teachers and pu pils have the day off, but urg ed those who stay in school to hold discussions about Vietnam. In Sacramento, Calif., students planned a 24-hour vigil outside the home of Republican Gov. Ronald Reagan. Gov. Dewey Bart lett of Oklahoma declined to ap pear at college rallies, but Sen. Fred Harris (D-Okla.), the Dem ocratic national chairman, ac - cepted. Oregon’s Republican senators are somewhat divided on the planned nationwide student pro test against the war in Vietnam, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 15. Sen. Mark Hatfield has taken the lead in supporting the “mor atorium” protest, saying it offers a “positive, constructive and non-violent effort to educate the public” and should have broad based support. Packwood cautious Sen. Robert Packwood has put strict conditions on his support, saying: “If the purpose of the 15th mor atorium is for students to ring doorbells and tell the public what they think about the war or to get together in a peaceful protest, then I support it. But if the protest is to be coercive, seek ing to force the suspension of classes, then I oppose it.” Packwood said he didn’t think the protesters have the right to keep nonparticipants from “get ting instruction for which they have paid their money.” Criticisms of the Moratorium seem to be leveled at groups such as SDS, who are taking their own route in protesting the war. Some citizens feel SDS and other leftwing groups will use the day of contemplation for vio lent demonstrations. Sam Brown, national organiz er of the Moratorium, said the Moratorium had been organized as a non-violent protest. “We feel that violence is counter-produc tive,” he said, but added, “You obviously cannot have control over everything that goes on that day.” Brown and his committee re minded people the protest is “not a strike” but a request for people to do something — attend mass, pray, march, discuss or write a letter to an editor or congress man. On the other Oregon campus es, the question of participation has been left up to the indivi dual student and faculty mem ber. Nearly every campus in the state will be involved in some degree and most are expected to send delegations to Salem to urge Gov. McCall to join in support. At Portland State University, Pres. Gregory Wolfe said, “It is my hope that members of the PSU community will participate in the events and help demon strate the concern our academic community has for peace, social justice and the fulfillment of man’s continuing search for free dom.” OSU classes optional Oregon State University took a position of informal coopera tion, with classes continuing but with it understood that univer sity facilities would be used for meetings to reexamine this coun try’s Vietnam activities. President James K. Sours of Southern Oregon College said Wednesday, “The faculty, stu dents and administration will rec ognize the Vietnam moratorium program ... I urge individual faculty members to cooperate to the fullest reasonable extent.” Student participation as well as class attendance was voluntary, he said. At Oregon College of Educa tion, classes will continue but professors are expected in many instances to turn from regular work and take up the question of Vietnam. At Reed College, students plan a door-to-door contact with Port landers, urging support of the planned second moratorium days, Nov. 14-15. Programs of talks, antiwar films, folk concerts, and similar activities have been scheduled at the University of Portland, Lewis and Clark College, Linfield Col lege, Willamette University, Reed College and others.
