Colder 'Names In The News' By CHARLES GOMON Staff Newt Writer JOHN STEWAET SERVICE was fired by the state depart ment on the recommendation of the nation's highest loyalty noard. service was head of the far eastern division of the de partment. The board found that there was a reasonable doubt as to Service's loyalty on the basis of the fact that he eave secret documents to editor J alley of Amerasia magazine in 1945. Service was cleared of similar charges on several occasions by the state department s own loyalty board, but the high board reversed this ruL'og. Service has been the target of pro-communist charges for his part in the U.S. policy toward China following World War II. The 42-year-old diplomat is planning an appeal to President Truman or the courts. Service has been in the department for 18 years. JOHN HICKERSON, U.S. under-secretary of state, approached the Swedish ambassador to ask if Sweden would act as one of the neutral supervisors of the Korean truce talks if agreement is reached there. The Norwegian and Swiss governments also were alerted for possible roles on the supervisory commission. BRIG. -GEN. KNUCKLES, U.N. negotiator at Panmunjom, Korea, asked the communists to clarify their six point proposal more fully. The proposal apparently agreed to limited rotation of troops, a freeze on the number of men in Korea, and also agreed to put the neutral inspection team under the armistic commission. CHIEF JUSTICE FRED VINSON is rumored to be the demo cratic choice for president if President Truman decides not to run. Neither has committeed himself on the issue. SUMNER J. PIKE, sole remaining member of the original U-S. atomic energy comission, resigned from the group. Pike was President Truman's choice for the chairmanship of the commis sion before the present chairman, Gordon Dean, was appointed. Pike's appointment was withdrawn after senate opposition de veloped. JUDGE THOMAS F. MURPHY came to Washington to con fer with President Truman. Murphy, towering crimebuster from New York, is expected to hold a key position in the "drastic action" the president is contemplating concerning the tax scandals. Rumor has it in the capital that President Truman plans to set up an anti-crime commission to squash corruption in govern ment, it is Known tnat Attorney General McGrath is in favor of this solution, but wants the men on the commission designated as "special assistant attorneys general," or in other words, under his Jurisdiction. Judge Murphy conducted a clean-up campaign in New York to rid the police department of scandal. Judge Murphy, who stands a mere 6 feet 4 inches tall, con ducted a clean-up campaign of the New York police scandals several months ago. U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS are baffled and suspicious of the loss of a navy patrol plane northwest of Japan. The plane vanished without a trace despite the fact that an accurate fix was made on the aircraft's position just before it disappeared. The navy department is convinced that Russian radar follows all patrol flights which we make in this area. Apparently this particular plane was ambushed and disposed of since no debris or bodies have been found.

COllfCC ENTRANCE QUESTION . . . University Professors Comment On Requirements If college entrance requirements are abolished, several University faculty members believe students; will not receive adequate back ground for college work. The Nebraska association of School Adiministrators suggested the possibility of abolishing speci fic entrance requirements in a resolution adopted in Lincoln late in November. Noel Lawrence, president of the association, has said that a committee h&s been set up to study the problem. Faculty members of the college of Ails and Sciences have raised the chief objections to the pro posed change. j Lawrence said that his group did not quarrel In any way with the requirements of three years of English with social studies, sciences or mathematics. They want, he said, consideration for use 8 to 90 per cent of students I Dean Earl S. Fullhrnrir nf the in rural scnoois wno never will College of Business Administra go to college. Lawrence suggested that the en trance requirements of such uni versities as those of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Colorado by examined. However, Miguel A. Basoco. chairman of the department of mathematics and astromony, does not think the schools mentioned have satisfactory entrance re-i quirements. Wisconsin 's law. Basoco said, led to the university's "stipul&t iatlng that students couldn't reg ister for study in most college courses until the requirements nere made up. The net effect has been that the Wisconsin secondary schools have pretty much kept up the requirements which were formerly set up by the university." . tion also defended the present system of entrance requirements "The purpose of the require ments is not to set up hurdles for tne student he said, "but to in sure that the student will have the background he needs to go on with college work." Kenneth Forward,, associate professor of English said that the adopiivd of the administra tors' suggestion would probably decrease the proportion of stu dents In English 3. the real freshman English course. He , also believed that the number of beginning students in English A and B would probably in crease. The chairman of the depart ment board of entrance exams which shwed. he said, thai there is an increasing -number of stu dents dropping out of college be fore the year graduated. In col leges with high entrance require ments, he said, it has been found that only about 10 per cent drop out before graduation. In history, he said, the poof stu dents are usually those who were not exposed to the subject in high schooL Dr. George W. Rosenlof, dean of admissions, blamed a misun derstanding in terminology for the dispate, such ao tbe word, "deficiency," which has been attacked as "psychologically bad for the students.' He said the University will ac cept students In the upper half of their class who are short re quired untis for admission. They may spend an extra semester in school, he said, but they win be qualified for degrees when they finish. I 'i 'rr k '!f I v 6 K V'v Hi T I V , I f . . i"jf' -' it x ' vV.'. i y. ... !
