attitudes of the nations they represented.

On the whole, the conference was enlightening ping of proposed amendments. This might be

There were several highlights which were not
anticipated. While one USSR delegate was
speaking once, an intruder rose, and "shot" him.
Three armed agents entered and removed the
body. Because of the incident, a special resolu
tion was introduced Saturday morning by the
Danish delegate demanding an investigation. The
secretary-general recommended that to detect
presence of other "dangerous weapons" each in
dividual should be "frisked." The resolution was
rejected.
Even the error by one delegate who attempted

Those planning the event and those partici
pating are to be congratulated. Naturally, the
delegates weren't professional and mistakes were
made. Generally, it was outstanding.
The Daily Nebraskan was proud to print news
concerning this activity. We believe it shows that
college students sometimes really think about seri
ous th'ngs. The only regret this editor has is that
the time available was so limited, and that the
number of students participating was not greater.

M. Schleisinger Jr. and O. John Rogge, seemed to
favor essentially the same general policies, al
though differing on some points.
When the two got on the topic of whether we
have a foreign policy, it was rather interesting to
note their definitions. Rogge, while maintaining
we do not have a policy, concluded that we do

This editor is of the opinion that it is rather

three point program: first, world inspection; sec

from disarmament for aid to underdeveloped
areas. The ideas sound fine, but this editor won

As Rogge admitted, it is easier to criticize than
to create policy. And he had some excellent points.
As for whether we have a foreign policy, the un-
useless to spend time debating whether we have certainty in the world and the unpredictable na
a foreign policy or not; the important element is
rather what effect our policy (or call it series of
actions) do to the rest of the world.
The unusual part of Rogge's observations was
the suggestion that Yugoslavia be given aid to help
build an aluminum factory. The stockpile from
ture of the USSR makes it almost impossible to
establish set rules.
Truly, some points are hazy, but to deny we have
a foreign policy appears to be a hypocritical play
on words.

McGrath's recommendation to McGranery that he

answered by McGranery's suggestion of "a little,

In addition to these retorts flying around
Washington, McGranery has announced three
specific methods by which he will clean up gov

eral, "it is necessary."
All finding out and prosecuting of governmental
wrong-doers, according to McGranery, will be un

Students In Politics
Students at the University who feel an inclina
tion to participate in politics and would like to
have their young voices heard in the nation's gov
ernment, should turn their interests to Egyptian
politics.
There seems to be a national feeling in that
country that many of the recent riots and dis
turbances have been instigated by student
groups. There also seems to be a national tradi
tion that students take part, extremely actively,
in national affairs.
Some sort of a movement is underfoot to curb
the student activities in order that the British
Egypt controversy over nationalism of the Suez
Canal rights may be cleared up.
Not only do students take part in politics and
get blamed for extremely serious national trends
but also find themselves a major factor in the gov
ernment of their country.
Nationalism doesn't have much grounds for
activity in our western world. But students with
a yen for real political power either might find
a burning issue, or Join the headline-making

UNITED NATIONS
SECRETARIAT
Report of the Committee to in
vestigate the outbreak of violence
at the 4 April session of the Com
mittee on the Veto.
Committee: Secretary-General.
Chief Delegate from India, Dele
gate from Sweden.
ITEMS:
The following account of the
outbreak of violence in the com
mittee chamber has been obtained
from eye-witnesses.
Previous to the outbreak of
bloody violence, several of the
delegations present at the session
noted the presence of swarthy
and suspicious-looking characters
seated strategically throughout the
assembly.
During a speech by a delegate
irom the UaSR, one of the above
mentioned characters jumped up
and screamed, "Down with red
Russia!" Whereupon an assassin
rose and fired the one fatal shot
at the demonstrator from a pistol
estimated as .38 caliber.
At this outbreak of violence,
three armed agents forcibly en
tered the committee chamber and
removed the body.
Upon further investigation, the
committee finds that the , blood
was Heinz 57. Detailed analysis of
the situation discloses that said
blood can be successfully re.
moved by the application of car.
bon tetrachloride.
CONCLUSIONS:
This committee finds that the
secretariat was negligent in its
provision for the protection of
those persons present at the ses
sion.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
This committee recommends the
frisking of each individual now
present at the third plenary ses
sion in order to detect the pres
ence of dangerous weapons.
Finally, the committee recom
mends that credentials be pro
vided for all delegations to future
conferences and that visitors must
obtain proper means of admission,
such means to be determined by
the Secretary-General.

Something Concrete
Dear Editor:
It is very gratifying for a stu
dent who looks out at the world
and sees nothing but corruption
to look on his own campus and
see something concrete being done
ibout it. Certainly, if Search
Week accomplishes anything, it
will help shake a little realization
of the elementary truths of life
nto this corruption-ridden world
of ours.
Search Week is a student move
ment which is also gratifying and
a source of great pride to the rest
f us University students. It is
important, no essential, that God
be praised and learned about
during these trying times.
I wish to give my wholehearted
congratulations to everyone con
nected with the project and pray
to God that it will turn out as
well as it very surely should.
Faithfully yours,
ALFRED BANGLETON

Irani at Columbia university, t'halrman of the council la Jamee
It. Zellerbach. Han Franelaco IndiMtrlallat. Title of the report
la "Student Deferment and .National Manpower Policy. ")
That dependency should be removed as an auto
matic ground for deferment from military service
is the recommendation of the National Manpower
council in a report released today.
Problems considered by the council include:
Just what is the state of military manpower
pool? How are students selected for deferment?
What is the supply of skilled an. specialized
personnel? How do these deferments apply to a
democratic society's values?
Essential Deferment Facts
This six months study presents a concise, inter
esting and valuable report on the essential facts of
student deferment, the issues which deferment
policy raises and the key points of view from
which a judgment on the present system may be
made.
Recognizing that the United States must develop
to the fullest degree its manpower in view since
we have only 6 per cent of the world's population,
the council asks several changes in present policy
to meet this goal. Besides removing dependency as
a ground for deferment, which would apply only
to men acquiring dependents after a specified date
in the future, the council recommends that ap
prentices who have completed a specified number
of hours of training and who meet the performance
requirements now a part of approved apprentice
ship programs, be deferred.
Considering the .military manpower policies,
the council recommended seven changes: provid
ing for maximum of effective utilization of high
ly trained and specialized men in military ser
vice; modification of present selection and as
signment methods of highly trained personnel to
give full weight to civilian skill and experience
of a man in determining military assignments;
reviewing the present officer procurement to see
whether it results in utilizing a disproportionate
number of graduates of scientific and engineer
ing schools as line officers; more realistic stan
dards for inductions and enlistments; pay scales
and housing to encourage re-enlistments aiming
toward career in armed services; a personnel
ceiling by Congress to encourage armed forces to
substitute civilian for military personnel wher
ever possible, and reducing requirements for
military personnel by increasing functions per
formed for armed forces through contract with
civilian organizations.
Not Individual Interest
Some of the facts revealed in the study preced
ing the recommendations are highly interesting.
Under the present Universal Military and Ser
vice act, deferment, that is postponement of ser
vice, always rests on considerations of national in
terest and not of individual interest.
At present, deferment which must be re
quested by the student, is mainly on a two-fold
basis. A student may be deferred by a grade of
70 of the College Qualification test or by claa
standing. Other methods are participation in tha
Reserve Officers Training corps, deferment un
til the end of the academic year or students In
medicine or allied subjects. AH college freshmen
are deferable.
It could become a problem, the council reports,
because there is growing concern that continuing
withdrawal of men will seriously deplete the re
serve of manpower available to the military. In
view of the fact that the present program aims at
maintaining the armed forces at 3.7 million, it
might be necessary to reduce the number of
younger men deferred.
Alternate Methods
Alternative ways of dealing with the depleted
pool include: making efforts to increase the num-x
ber of career men; inducting or recruiting men
from outside the pool; making certain veteran
classes liable; providing for induction of fathers;
utilizing women more effectively; reducing the
mental and physical standards, and insuring that
the so called less desirable personnel are distri
buted equitably among branches.
Mid-1954 is the date the council believes the
serious overall manpower shortage will occur.
The report examines also. the present selection
of student deferment. Under the present program,
about two thirds of freshmen who take the test
will be deferred until they graduate or drop out of
college;
The report shows there is a decided advantage
in having a field of study in engineering, physi
cal sciences or mathematics in regard to scores.
Sectionally, the most deferred are from middle
Atlantic and west north central states. It Is pos
sible that the present program might Influence
some men in choice of college or curriculum, the
study admits.
The most fundamental criticism, is that the pre
sent program applies only to. those who go to col
lege. Many capable persons do not enter college
because of disinclination, financial disability or
another handicap. The army general class test
shows that only 45 per cent of those with a score
of 120 or above on the test actually enter college.
New Advantages
A program would be unequitable, the council
realized, if it permitted substantial number of men
who have been allowed to postpone military ser
vice to escape it permanently. To the extent that
a deferment policy creates new advantages for
those able to attend college, it may be criticized
as running counter to considerations of equity. If
promising young men with limited finances were
enabled to attend college and if those who per
form their military services before going to college
were granted educational benefits as veterans, this
inequity could be sharply reduced.
These are some of the recommendations the
council has advanced as a result of its study and
research. They are worth serious consideration in
view of the static manpower pool. J. K.
