Vol. 51 No. 25 Post War Troops Asked Request More Forces for Japan After the Korean war, more American troops will be sent to Japan, That was the decision Presi dent Truman and Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur agreed upon at Wake island during their conference. The problem of the disposition o all American manpower in Korea after hostilities have ceased was not taken up accord ing to informants. However, they said the presi dent and the general agreed that occupation forces in Japan must be raised above their pre-war strength because of the increas ing communist threat in the far east. The French reverses in In dochina and the possibility of a Chinese communist invasion of Formosa was presumably what they had in mind. American Divisions Prior to the Korean war there were four under-strength Amer ican divisions in Japan. The re turn of those divisions now at full strength, would alone put more men in Tokyo than pre viously. Usually reliable sources said MacArthur had requested addi tional troops for Japan even be fore North Korea invaded South Korea. And while the two conferred about post-war plans, in Korea American and South Korean columns slashed Tuesday, night through shattered communist remnants within 12 miles of the red capital, Pyongyang. The war was running swiftly toward victory for tho United Nations just over a month after the allied tide turned following the landing at Inchon. In Race The U.S. First cavalry and the Republic of Korea First divisions were competing in a race for the red capital. Each wanted to level the knockout blow. Headquarters officers were un able to keep up with the whirl wind advances in Korea. The communist defenses crumbled or were smashed to bits or simply vanished, according to a dispatch from U.S. Eigth army head quarters. Also concerning the Korean situation, Korean president Syng man Rhee said Tuesday he will abide by any United Nations directive. He thinks, however, the future of his government should be de termined by Koreans. A resolution by the United Na tions commission on Korea would limit Rhee's power to South Korea until a country-wide elec tion can be held. That brought an expression of shock from Rhee, whose election was U.N. supervised, and "serious concern" to members of his government. Wrong Clothes Meanwhile on the lighter side of the national scene, when a Philadelphia lad showed up for his sixth grade classes with drip ping clothing, his teacher asked "How come?" George Hewlett, who is 11, ex plained that he had paused on his way to school to rescue an 8-year-old girl, when she had fallen from a bridge into a creek. He was sent home for dry clothes and the girl was taken to a hospital. And in Washington the navy" reported Tuesday that two more U.S. minesweepers have been sunk by mines in Korean waters, with one crewman dead and 11 missing. The sweepers, the Pirate and the Pledge, went down Oct. 12, off Wonsan on the east coast of Korea. The Pirate sank in about five minutes and the other within one hour after they struck mines, the navy said. Nehru Appears While the navy made reports on the sunk minesweepers, Prime Minister Nehru, in a major state ment of India's policy, reported that the country opposed the American-supported plan for United Nations military forces on the ground that it would turn the United Nations toward war rather than peace. He also strongly opposed Amer ican policy toward communist China. Nehru said the idea of United Nations armed forces to combat aggression, substance of a seven nation proposal now being de bated, was a "wrong approach."

Miss Rediger has asked any girl who would like to serve as a hostess to contact Mary Lou Flaherty at 2-1926. "Builders are trying to show the high school students a good time," says Miss Rediger. The organization is primarily inter ested in publicizing the Univer sity to high schools, and Band Day is a good opportunity to contact a lot of them." During the noon meal, copies of the Scarlet and Cream, Build ers newspaper published for high school students, will be distrib uted to the group. Started in 1939 Band Day made its initial ap pearance at the University in 1939. It has been held annually since then with exception of 1943 to 1945.

Even with this number, he points out, 30 bands that applied had to be refused. In addition to providing the noon meal, the Chamber of Com merce will present each par ticipant with a certificate.
