6Ask Marshall
To Speak Here'
Says Careker
Laying down a challenge to the
entire university, KOLN radio
commentator George Careker, a
univertity graduate student, asked
in blunt terms over his nightly
broadcast why the university is
nat making plans to invite Secre
tary of State George C. Mar
shall to speak at a convocation
here.
Careker, former member of the
Office of War Information, stated,
"there is no doubt about the fact
that Secretary of State Marshall
would accept speaking engage
ments all over the country and if
I were a member of the faculty
or administration of the Universi
ty of Nebraska or a public offi
cial of the city of Lincoln I should
invite the secretary to come here
to the bread basket of the state
department's foreign policy and
state the department's case."
Leave Bos tin.
Basmg his entire broadcast on
Marshall's recent speech in Boston
and on the Marshall plan in Eu
rope and the United States, Care
ker asked, "why not invite Mar
shall to desert his Boston rostrum
and speak before a university of
Nebraska convocation?"
The soft-spoken, British accen
ted commentator made it clear
that he felt it to be a necessity
that Marshall be invited to speak
to university students here.
