Make Them Feel at Home
The University of Nebraska is serving as an unofficial host
this week, and is glad of the chance to handle the duties of greet
ing and entertaining the guests.
And the guests are the most important part of the occasion.
They are potential university students.
For the rest of the week the 38th annual high school basket
ball tournament will be under way at the coliseum. The attention
of patrons and students of every high school in the state will be
directed toward Lincoln and the Coliseum in particular as 32
basketball teams struggle for championships in four classes.
Many students have followed their teams to the tournament,
other students and players who failed to win trips to the tourney
as official entries are on hand for the weekend to observe the
athletic activity.
As a result, the campus, is being visited by what is probably
the largest delegation of high school students of the year.
Potsy Clark, new Husker football coach, and athletic director,
set the tempo for the week by instructing all N men to wear their
N sweaters at the tournament games and help make the visiting
high schoolers feel at home.
In the same vein, the Student Foundation has planned an af
ternoon of entertainment for the high school players and followers
this afternoon in the Student Union.
All of which goes to show that the school is aware of its fu
ture needs. These high school students and athletes will be the
college students of the next several years. It is fitting that they be
familiar with their state university and be entertained while here
so that they will decide to take their future educational training
in the state.
Not only for the future' of Cornhusker athletics, a vital reason
for the current hospitality, but also for the purpose of" making high
school students aware of the benefits and outstanding academic
features of the university is such an effort being made.
Just as the hopes for silccess on the football field and basket
ball court in future seasons hinge on the number of proficient Ne
braska high school athletes the school receives.so does the general
spirit and enthusiasm of the school as a whole depend on the en
trance of students who are already fired with at least a touch
of the Cornhusker spirit.

Lincoln is promised no relief
from the cold. Thursday's high
is predicted near seven abov
with occasional light snow,
THE 'COLD WAR'
Jan Masarky, Foreign Minister
of Czechoslovakia, plunged to his
death from the window of his
second story office Wednesday
He was 61.
Announcement of his death to
foreign correspondents in Prague
was delayed several hours by
Communist dictator K 1 e m e n t
Gottwald's government. The body
was found at daylight.
Foreign comment took the view
that he was a victim of the cold
war. Some statements from west
em European cities classed him
as a "martyr." Others termed the
death "plain murder.
Sixteen days ago the Com
munists took over the Czech gov
eminent.
Plans to train personnel to ad
minister selective service in the
event of Congressional action
along such lines, was announced
in San Francisco Wednesday.
Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
national director of the Office
of Selective Service Records, said
the move would provide "reason
able preparedness" in case of fu
ture need.
The OSSR is a civilian agency
with no power to draft. Hershey
has been touring the country to
set up a program similar to that
of the 1935-40 period.
STASSEN
Harold Stassen termed his re
cord in Tuesday's New Hampshire
presidential primary, a "moral
victory" Wednesday. '
He won two of eight delegates
to the GOP national convention
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who took
all eight in 1944, won six.
Stassen opens a three day
whirlwind tour of Nebraska
Thursday. He is scheduled to ar
rive inl Alliance by plane this
afternoon. His tour, by char
tered bus, through the state, in
cludes stops in eight cities.
GRAIN
Grain price on the Chicago
market edged upward Wednesday
amidst cries of anguish from the
nations millers. - .-
Wheat was up 2 cents a bushel,
corn, 2Vt cents.
The millers objected to failure
of the Production and Marketing
administration to buy more than
the flour equivalent of 700,000
bushels of wheat. It had request
ed the release of the equivalent of
900,000 bushels.
Future prices dropped and many
mills took extensive losses.

To the Editor:
We would like to have the following questions answered con
cerning NSA answered by any NSA representative:
(1) Why did the head of the Wisconsin Student Union resign
connections with NSA?
(2) Why did Northwestern and Texas defeat NSA on their
campuses?
(3) What schools have affiliated NSA other than radical east
ern schools?
(4) Of these school which adopted NSA, what concrete bene
fits have been evidenced?
(5) Why did our regional convention delegates resign?
(6) Only ten cents a student per semester? That amounts to
$2,000 a year.
(7) Where does this money go?
(8) How much do national and local officers receive for their
services?
(9) What is the political position or viewpoint of NSA? Since
AYD (American Youth for Democracy has a direct connection
with communist party, we are curious if NSA might be con
nected with the same political organization.
(10) Just exactly what is the NSA's "Culturale" program?
What purpose would this serve?
(11) What connection do1 United World Federalists have with
NSA?
(12) Why have NSA representatives been dodging questions,
similiar to the ones we are asking?

Mr. Dale Ball:
I should like to comment upon the analysis of Friday's Daily
Nebraskan bridge hand.
In so far as the opening lead is the queen of diamonds the
analysis is quite correct, but if the opening lead is the king of
clubs, the analysis, I believe overlooks several important points.
A First of all the squeeze suggested is non-existent. For the
squeeze to exist, West must (1) have an entry to the dummy after
trumps are run and (2) have given up another diamond. These
cannot be accomplished because if two diamonds leads are ducke
South would obviously overtake the second and return a diamond
for a ruff, resulting in a two trick set.
B Secondly the declarer has overlooked the fact that if the
club king is ducked and a diamond led that South may overtake
and return a heart, resulting in one club, one diamond, and two
hearts for the defense. North need only wait for his club queen
for the setting trump.
C Thirdly all the possibilities of end plays etc. still exist
if the club king is taken on the first lead and in addition several .
fine possibilities present themselves. A club lead toward the jack
will certainly produce one more trick and if clubs break or if
the ten is finessed will produce two additional club tricks. Nothing
further is needed, three clubs, one diamond, and five spades.
If clubs do not break or are guessed wrong, the ace and a
small diamond may then be played. If North wins this, he muSt
lead from his hearts. If the established club is cashed, declarer
pitches his losing diamond. If South overtakes the second diamond
lead, West makes two diamonds, two clubs, and five spades. I
see no way the declarer can make nine tricks even if he ducks the
club king, the diamond queen (South failing to overtake for the
heart lead) and wins the second diamond.
The important point is that if two methods of attack present
themselves, it is wise if possible, to select the line of play which if
it fails may still leave the possibility of winning three club tricks
and stakes everything on North having only two diamonds.
