Weekly, progress re ports of many international student relief groups with headquarters in Prague or Warsaw are sent. Around New Year's day, the staff got greet ing from the International Union of Students wishing "the unity which binds students of lands be strengthened yet more in the coming year." It was written in five languages. One magazine sent to The Nebraskan was pub lished in Peking and entitled "People's China." It had more than a noticeable slant to the news. Another booklet contained "testimonies" of Ameri can prisoners of war urging cessation of the students of the world joining hands, the data does Korean fighting and adoption of the Communist serve at least two purposes. These are only a few comments received in Daily Nebraskan mail. Fortunately most slanted information can be readily recognized. It would be unfortunate if such information were sent to places where readers were unaware of its origin or purpose. The Nebraskan is not alone on the mailing lists for such literature. Other school newspapers receive it as well as other campus organizations.

The "appeal" was cabled to Trygve Lie by the Chinese People's Committee for World Peace and Against American Aggression. In the first magazine, the United States was called a nation of "Imperialists," and their chief satellite, the Attlee government, (the magazine was published in August before British elec tions) was accused of learning nothing good from the disastrous reverses in Korea." The Japanese peace treaty described as perpetuating "Wall street's enslavement of the Japanese people and turning Japan into a major base for further aggressions against Asian peoples." First, it gives us an idea of the tremendous amount of money and effort Communists spend trying to convince people about their wonderful actions, and secondly, it reminds us that every act happening in this country is picked up by Communists and used to our detriment, if pos sible. Any undemocratic treatment of minority groups, any unfair treatment of a worker or indi vidual citizen is just as good prey for red editors as the Korean fighting. If nothing else, this literature should serve as a continual reminder of the frantic state in which One article supported the "just struggle of the Communists dig up information and the extent to Iranian people." in the "midst of an heroic struggle which they will go to pound in their idealogy. for their national independence and sovereignty."

The seventh installment on "How the Tillers Win Back Their Land" was included in this issue. Letters from readers included two from "Canadians" protesting "imperialism" and "war mongering" in Washington. There were two from India and one from Australia. All writers claimed they "would not miss one copy" of the publication. Dotting the pages are cartoons ridiculing a gold star mother. J.K, Explanation Due When the six member Hawaiian delegation ar rives in Texas to demand an apology from Sen.

The first item concerned the Brooklyn pants salesman who has led police to Willie "The Actor" Sutton. He was found in a vacant lot in New York, riddled with bullets. About two minutes after the newscaster broadcasted this story ne reported that some Congress man wants to give medals to peo ple who help the FBI get the goods on Communists in this uountry. My only thought was that Arnold Schuster, the sales man, had already received his metal . . . about 10 ounces of it well-distributed between his head and his body. This story did not receive much publicity in the papers or on the radio but to me it is something of a symbol. Here in America it 1s custom, tradition or what have you, to help the police catch criminals because in so doing we are helping to re move from our environment a person Who (s potentially dan gerous to us as individuals. In the movies it is also tradi tional to have the citizen who puts the finger on the crook get pushed. During the roaring 20's this tradi tion was not reserved by the movies.

In announcing his candidacy for president a Would He Be Free The state department, although not actively pressing for release of American newsman William N. Oatis, has emphatically informed the Czecho slovakian government that ransom money or ma terial will not be considered in negotiations for Oatis' freedom. Communist Czechoslovakia hinted that Oatis might be released from his 10-year prison sentence if the United States would consider releasing a 17 million dollar steel mill to the Czechs. on the issue. And the Czech government is still trying to get its steel mill and our money. Oatis is one man who defied the methods and manners of Communism and lost his freedom for his dar ing. The United States is fighting, be it in cold wars or the United Nations, to retain that free dom for which Oatis went to prison. .

Oatis was convicted of espionage last July. The state department denounced his trial and conviction as "trumped up" and "phony." The state department has been severely criticized for its seeming lethargy in negotiating for the re lease of Oatis. Its campaign for return of the America nnewsman has consisted mainly of of ficial notes to the Czech government, condemn ing the jailing action and trial and demanding his release. Tho attitude of the Czech government has been that Oatis would be released only upon certain conditions to be met by the United States. These conditions have mainly been demands for money or material payments. The state department has denied these offers, time and time again, believing it would be a tremendous concession to Commu nism and also aid such governments in cold wars against the rest of the world. Oatis is still in a Czechoslovakian prison. The state department is still under fire for its stand assurance of the fredom for which he worked. R.R. Campaign Techniques It is quite a political maneuver during election year for candidates to be pictured just at the right piace, at the right time and in the correct atmo sphere. In the last several days, this editor has seen pictures of Sen. Estes Kefauver in the following scenes: playfully throwing a snowball at a young boy in New Hampshire; dutifully attending church services Sunday morning in a New Hampshire church; and gallantly helping Mrs. Kefauver step over a large water puddle. Undoubtedly the Tennessee Democrat, seeking to edge out President Truman in today's New Hampshire primaries, is sincere in his hearty campaign. It just seems a little overdone. How ever, the crime investigating senator seems to have gained a lot of ground in his personal campaign. This might pay off when the results of the voters come in tonight. J.K.

He recognized Sutton from an elevator and reported it to some patrolmen. These patrol men are reported to have ap proached Sutton and cagily asked him, "Are you Willie Sutton?" Sutton indignantly assured them that he was not and sent them on their way. When these sterling oneriocKs reported in at their tre cinct station a coupe of detectives were sent out to pick up Sutton who was waiting for them accom- moditatingly. Three cops got promotions from the "capture." Arnold Schuster, who did what the whole New York police force was unable to do, got a reported $70 out of a $70,000 reward. Oh yes, he also got four holes in him, two in his head and two in his body, that were not put there by nature. New York Dolice are now Wir ing for a man who is a convicted murderer who escaped from prison with Sutton five years ago. They are looking for him you know. This leaves the door wide open for some other poor sucker to spot the wanted killer on the street, turn him in to the cods, collect his MacArthur to speak to the unicameral. Although a majority of senators favored the resolution, MacArthur announced that he was unable to speak in Lincoln. In a letter to a Lincoln newspaper last fall, Mrs. Kenny expressed her opposition to General Eisenhower for president, calling him "not a logi cal or properly qualified 'candidate for presidency." Filed For State Office She has been active in politics and civic affairs since 1932. In 1946 she filed for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. Her bid, how ever, was not successful.

Farley and Sen. Harry Byrd (in liaison with Democrats), General MacArthur (in western Pacific policy), Ralph Bunch (in United Nations) and Bernard Baruch (in economics). By aligning himself with the conservatives, Stassen would thus attempt to overcome the poli ticians' criticism that he is too young and aggres sive.

By filing for the nomination for lieutenant governor, Mrs. Kenny hoped to "Kaze a trail for women in our party to enter the higher political field." Her campaign was based upon the slogan of the Women of America, which Mrs. Kenny founded in 1942: "Dedicated to the preservation of our constitutional form of government; the elevation of that sacred institution, the home; and the It has been ten years since he resigned during his third term as governor of Minnesota in order to enter the navy.

Anderson might re ceive some help on the housing problem solution by letting Lincoln citizens in on the contents of the report. Anderson insists no housing shortage exists In Lincoln. Unverified claims say the report indicates a serious shortage of dwelling units in the city.
