Red 'Brainwashing'
Technique Revealed
Persons turn into soul-less, ani
mated machines after communist
brainwashing, stated Dr. John
Hayes last Friday in the Union
student-faculty seminar on "Brain
washing." Hayes has been a missionary
for the Christian Student Move
ment in China. Supported by the
National Presbyterian Church,
Hayes was a prisoner of the com
munists for 10 months and was
released in September of 1952 after
surviving the brain washing tech
niques. Hayes was a Rhodes schol
ar and attended Oxford and Prince
ton.
Pavlov's Theory
The communists use Pavlov's
theory in his experiment with the
dogs, said Hayes. In their brain
washing method they condition
men's minds to what they want un
til the individual becomes a soul
less, animated machine, he continued.
While in China, Dr. Hayes was
present at the "liberating of a
town. He said that the first group
of soldiers carried their guns slung
over their shoulders and were sing
ing as they marched into the town.
The second group had their guns
over their shoulders, and the third
group was armed with tommy
guns carried at port arms. This is
an example of the method that
the communists use in taking over
a district. At first they seem ap
pealing and friendly, then they en
force the strict control, he con
cluded. Shakespeare's Plays
In an effort to crack the com
munist doctrine, Hayes, employed
as an English instructor, in a Chi
nese school, put on a play "Mer
chant of Venice" by William Shake
wpeare. Since the play has a dyn
amic fair play quality, the Chi
nese officials objected, stated
Hayes. After the production of the
play, they told him to teach the
English of the Moscow Times.
Hayes said that the communists
took his class of 36 into three
groups for indoctrination. They said
that each person must state all his
virtues and vices, said Hayes. They
keep after the person until there
is nothing that he has not con
fessed, continued Hayes. Then they
implant the idea that your faults
are not yours any longer, but faults
of the group and the group will
make you perfect, he said. The
group is controlled and the person
loses his individuality, he stated.

Dave Brubeck and his Combo will present a two-performance jazz concert in the
Union Ballroom today at 4 and 7:30 p.m.
Brubeck and his Combo are now in the midst of a nation-wide tour of numerous
college carr puses. Included in the jazz combo are Brubeck at the piano, Paul Des
mond playing the alto saxophone, drummer Joe Dodge and Bob Bates playing the bass.
Brubeck's popularity was given a definite boost in both popularity poll and the
critics poll sponsored by "Down
Beat," national jazz magazine. In
Metronome magazine's "All-Star"
poll of jazz artists, Brubeck again
placed first.
"Jazz Goes to College," Bru
beck's first record, was out last
June. This record led record sales
for a period of four months. Re
cently he gave a concert in Car
negie Hall. He has played at
Zardi's in Los Angeles, Boston's
Storyville and Manhatten Basin
Street.
A fall issue of Time magazine,
which devoted a six-page article
to Brubeck's life and personality
describes Brubeck's style as "cre
ating an illusion of danger as if
he were a race driver who, says
Dave, is going to stay out there
until he drives faster than anyone
else."
Brubeck thinks his technique is
getting smoother all the time, and
he stated "Everything we play is
superimposed on the tune, and
each chorus is superimposed on
the one before it."
Contemplating current trends,
Brubeck thinks that jazz reflects
the American scene. "It is tre
mendously complex but it is free."
He and his combo keep playing
their "new style" never playing a
tune the same way twice, but re
lying on melodious and rhythmic
effects.
In regard to his ambition to be
a composer Brubeck said, "I have
yet to find the composer who I
think is happy. In jazz you can
perform what you compose. When
I get inspired I am the happiest
guy on earth.
Critics comments in regard to
Brubeck's combo have been as
follows. The Columbia records
jazz expert who brought them to
his recording company said. "A
kind of teamwork which is with
out parallel in the entire field of
music."
"Man they waai wrote the
jazz editor of "Down Beat" maga
zine. John Hammond, critic of
jazz artists, commented, "His mus
ic has tremendous drive and sur
prising warmth."

The Outside WorI
Ike Recommends Trimmed Budget
By FRED DALY
Staff Writer
President Eisenhower recommended Monday a slightly trimmed
budget designed to guard the nation "against attack from without and
todermining from within" while advancing human welfare and eco
nomic growth. The chief executive's spending blueprint, outlined In a
27,000-word message and a bulky volume of supporting figures, pro
posed a 12-month outgo of $62,408,000,000.
It contemplates a deficit of $2,408,000,000-a little more than half
that estimated for the current fiscal year. Thus it would be the fifth
successive year to show red ink spending.
Estimated expenditures were down a little more than a billion
dollars from that anticipated for the current year. The President
predicted that income in the new fiscal year, starting July 1, would be
billion dollars over this year reflecting optimism over the future
f the national economy.
Russia To Give Satellites Atomic Know-how
Russia Monday announced in Moscow that it is turning over atomic
know-how nd fissionable materials for peaceful use to Communist
China, East Germany, Poland, Romania and Czechoslovakia.
The announcement was contained in a decision of the USSR
Council of Ministers read to Western newsmen at a hastily summoned
news conference at the foreign ministry.
It was the third such press conference in four days. At one con
ference Friday the Soviets offered to share with the rest of the world
experience they claimed to have gained by operating an industrial
ttomic power plant.
. the latest announcement said in return for scientific and teenmcal
id to be given her Communist allies, the Soviet Union would expect
to receive a continuing supply of atomic raw materials from them.

A 14 year-old Kearney parolee has admitted setting fire to three

offenses, officers said, to addition to setting fires at an apartment
building at 1403 E Thursday night and two more Friday night at 1441
G and 1327 H.

YM-YW Assembly
Resolutions and reports from
the National Student Assembly of
the YM-YWCA, held to Lawrence,
Kan., the week of Dec. 27, featured
the YWCA Mass Centennial Meet
ing, Thursday.
Some of the more controversial
resolutions passed by the assem
bly, included those on racial dis
crimination and academic freedom,
which was presented by student
delegates from Nebraska Wesley
an. Four-Fold ResotuUras
The four-fold resolution on ra
cial, cultural and religious discrim
ination resolved that the National
Student Assembly:
1. Denounce and oppose the dis
criminatory clauses in local and
national fraternity and sorority con
stitutions. 2. Urge all local chapters of the
YMCA and YWCA movement to
work on their care puses to per
suade their college administration
to outlaw fraternities and soror
ities which have discriminatory
clauses.
3. Instruct the Committee of Ef
fective Citizenship to sponsor and
support bills in the various state
legislatures to prohibit fraternities
and sororities with discriminatory
clauses from existing on the camp
uses of state supported schools.
C Urge all local YMCA's and
YWCA's to work with and through
the members of local and national
fraternities and sororities to elim
inate the discriminatory clauses
from their constitutions.
Just what action this would nec
essitate on the part of the local
association was not presented at
the meeting. Ia addition to this
resolution, the group at the Assem
bly resolved not to bold future
meetings at institutions where all
delegates would not be permitted
full use of the facilities, lhis move
was prompted by Dartmouth Col
lege's decision not to send dele
gates to Lawrence because of
certain discriminatory practices to
the community.
Disarmament Backed
In other resolutions, the Assem
bly took a stand for universal
disarmament enforced by inter
national law and expressed dis
approval of the action of the
United States government to pre
venting a group of Chinese stu
dents from leaving the U.S. to re
turn to their own country.
In a statement from the Com
mittee on Effective Citizenship, the
assembly took the stand to work
for better working conditions and
the elimination of segregation and
discrimination on the basis of
race, creed or nationality, par
ticularly to employment, bousing,
education, transportation, recre
ation and food services.
Aid T Education
This committee also supported
federal aid for education, regional
development projects such as TV A
and the Missouri River project,
statehood for Alaska and Hawaii
and extension of the franchise to
residents of the District of Colum
bia. Besides the resolutions, the mes
sage of the assembly to the move
ment was read at the meeting.
Reports on the speeches and wor
ship services were presented to
ihe meeting by local delegates.

ent YW cabinets from both City
and Ag campuses took part in the
program.
