Grime Boss
Won't Reveal
Wealth Data
Frank Costello, noted under
world boss, faced with a threat
of deportation steps, balked at
telling crime investigators the
amount of his wealth.
He said that such information
might incriminate him and he
previously had planned to give
full financial data. But the sen
ate investigating committee had
treated him unfairly by brand
ing him the czar of a national
crime syndicate.
His original offensive melted as
committeemen began delving into
his bootlegging Yecord and al
leged falsifications on his citi
zenship application." Sen. Charles
W. Toby (r.,N.H.) said the com
. mittee had established grounds
lor deportation moves.
ATOMIC TESTS PLANNED
FOR NEW GROUNDS
New tests with U.S. atomic
weapons far out at sea or dropped
from airplanes at places othef
than the testing sites used up to
now may be in prospect.
A broad hint of this comes
from the atomic energy commis
sion itself.
This developed out of an AEC
new conference at which a re
porter asked, ki connection with
the recent experimental explo
sion at the Nevada proving
ground, whether there will be
any other tests. In answering this
question, Chairman Gordon Dean
gave indication that the tests will
be elsewhere.
UN TROOPS SURGE
FORWARD UNOPBOSED
Nearly 20,000 U.N. troops
surged north across Korea in an
almost unopposed general ad
vance that outflanked Seoul, en
gulfed Changpyong and threat
ened the big Chinese base of
Hongchon.
Chinese and Korean reds, stag
gered by the loss of an estimated
38,000 men in six days, melted
away in front of the allied tanks
tnd infantry.
The communists are expected
to attempt a new stand along a
line anchored on Hongchon, 21
miles south of the 38th parallel.
More than 1,500 enemy troops
were spotted rushing supplies and
reinforcements south toward the
new line.
SPY LINKS RELATIVES
TO ATOMIC BOMB THEFT
Former Sgt. David Greenglass
linked his sister and brother-in-law
further in the theft of atomic
bomb information too secret for
description in open court.
Greenglass, who has pleaded
guilty and is awaiting sentence
for his part in the wartime soviet
atomic spy ring, also touched on
a "sky platform project" suppos
edly under consideration during
the war. The witness said Julius
Rosenberg told him in 1947 he
was obtaining information on
such a project. Rosenberg is his
brother-in-law.
During Greenglass' trial, he de
scribed a Russian "space ship"
which would theoretically float,
free in the outer atmosphere with
the whole world in its "bomb
sight.". AIR FORCE REPORTS
GOOD MISSILE RESULTS
The air force revealed that It
has achieved excellent results
with six-ton guided missiles
launched from B-29s in Korea.
The 27-foot "Tarzan" bomb,
controlled by a radio transmitter
in the launching aircraft, has
been especially effective in the
destruction of big bridges, four
east air force officials said.
They said 12,000 pound . "Tar
, jan" bombs destroyed four ma
jor bridges at Pyongyang, the
North Korean capital, and three
other key spans close to the Man
ehurian border.
OPS ANNOUNCES NEW
RESTAURANT PRICE ORDERS
The government allowed public
eating and drinking places to
raise menu prices to reflect ac
tual Increases In food costs. At
the same time, it banned any in
crease in their pre-Korean price
margins.
The office of price stabilization,
which issued the order effective
April 1, ld this will result In
some rises in restaurant menu
prices and price rollbacks for
those restaurants which increased
their margins efter July 1, 1850.
The new regulation forces res
taurants to cut prices when food
costs decline.

The car, a Plymouth, has been

was approximately $250.
On a 10,000 mile a year basis,
a $47 saving in fuel cost can be

possibility that the Council con
stitution would not guarantee in

Several representatives from
independent women's organiza
tions will also present their
ideas for independent women's
representation.
Work will be continued on the
last articles of the new Council
constitution. The proposed new
constitution offers a compromise
between college and organization
al representation in order to keep
one highly organized group from
gaining control of the Council.
New action will also be taken
on the Summer's Activity group.

It Happened at NU ...
Two enterprising sophomore
boys, early one morning recently,
discovered a stack of undelivered
Rags.
So, in order to be helpful, the
boys commenced to deliver the
papers to their designated spots
on campus.
After having completed their
mission, the witting workers
stood off to watch the students
as they streamed forth from class,
each eagerly snatching a paper
as he started for the door.
The expressions on the faces of
the readers changed quickly from
satisfaction to disgust. The pa
pers were three weeks old.

First Presbyterian church of Lin
coln, who has spent several years
helping students with their cur
rent problems, will lead the dis
cussions. The discussions are

Ag Union lounge.
The informal forums, under
the direction of the Ag YMCA
and Ag Union committees, will

dent pastor, and Wednesday's fo
rum will be led by Kenneth Can
non. Dick Walsh, Ag Union board
member, said that following the

Arthur westbrook. will par
ticipate in the Palm Sunday ves

Congregational church,
March 18, at 5 p.m.
The program will Include the
selections from Bach:
Chorale Prelude "We Believe
In One God," Mr. Roberts, or
ganist. Cantata 104 "Thou Shepherd
Bountiful," Robert Martell and
Eugene Kuyper, soloists.
Fugue XVIII "The Art of
Fuge." "Come Sweet Death," Mr.
Roberts.
Cantata 4 "Christ Lay in the
Bonds of Death," Jack Anderson,
soloist.
"The Cantata 104" Albert
Schweitzer writes, differs from
characteristic works in its del
icate lyricism. He considers it one
of the more suitable for overcom

book should be published in or
der that the orientation program
will be complete in every re
spect. A copy will be given to
each new student when he first
enters the University. -The
handbook, to be patterned
after the Iowa State college
freshman handbook, will have a,
permanent cover and binding.
The new book is designed to: -1.
Better . acquaint the fresh
man wfth the many phases of
University life outside of regular
CIcLSSS
University Hospitality
2. Give freshmen an aware
ness of University hospitality and
concern for their welfare.
3. Reduce the number of

ing printed for new students;
thereby reducing the total cost
to the University and student or
agnization, and at the same time
accomplishing the . task that
the separate publications en
deavor to achieve. The hand
book 'will replace "You 'N Your
University" (Administration),
"N Book" (YMCA and YWCA),
"You 'N You" (AWS and Co-ed
Counselors, and several Union
publications).
4. To provide the type of
handbook that the student will
keep throughout his freshman
year as a complete, well organ
ized, handy reference for infor
mation on the many aspects of
University life.
Hitchcock Faculty Adviser
The Public Relations office
will serve as adviser for the pub
lication of the freshman hand
book, with Dr. Hitchcock as fac
ulty adviser.
The New Students Week com
mittee is of the opinion that the
handbook should not be financed
through the sale of advertising
or organizational space. This will
eliminate the need for a business
staff and will allow the editorial
staff more flexibility, with the
proper emphasis on each section
of the orientation publication.
AWS Board, Coed Counselors,
Union and Stat Publications
Board, and the Religious Wel
fare Council will make donations
to aid the Student Council in
defraying expenditures of pub
lishing the handbook. The New
Students Week Committee and
Student Council hope to increase
the annual source of revenue for
the Council in order that in 1952
the orientation handbook may be
published entirely by the Coun
cil. At the present time the
source of revenue for the council
is limited to a small tax on or
ganization funds in the office of
the Director of Student Activi
ties. The estimated cost of 2,000
copies of the handbook will be
approximately $1,250.
Revamped Orientation
The revamped Unlverslcy fall
orientation program is geared to
provide a clear-cut, expanded
and officfal freshman orientation
week; and provide an official
Cornfiusker handbook designed to
inform students of University
traditions, oragniaztions, activi
tfes and customs.
Back of the whole plan, Dr.
Hitchcock explained, is the de
sire to help new students to ad
just quickly to University life
and provide more time for faculty-student
advisory sessions.
The plan is that the officfal
freshman convocation, at which
attendance of new student
would be required, would be fol
lowed by a Cornhusker Night,
where new students would be
given the opportunity to learn
University songs, yells, meet stu
dent leaders and would be told
of Cornhusker tradition; a
church open house; an activities
night; and the Chancellor's Re
ception where the students would
be given the chance to meet the
Chancellor and other faculty
members. Another event is
