High Thursday 58 to 65 degrees. 1 1 Vol. 51 No. 6 Mari mes At Seoul Gateway Red Forces Move to Front Both good and bad news was recorded Wednesday in Korea. Although South Korean ma f ( rines landed at . Samchok and U.N. troops were "at the gateway of Seoul," U.S. Tenth army offi cers reported to Gen. Douglas MacArthur that a column of com munist reinforcements was mov ing south from Manchuria. A beachhead was established by the South Korean marines at Samchok, 105 miles north of Po hang, on the Korean east coast. Just how many troops had land ed or exactly when the landing was made was not yet learned. A spokesman presumed that the amphibious assault, which marked a third front in Korea, was in sufficient force to hold the beachhead. Across Peninsula The city is across the Korean peninsular from Inchon where the U.S. First marine and Sev enth army divisions landed and are pounding at Seoul's gates. At the same time the column of reinforcements heading down from Manchuria, was said to consist of 200 vehicles, including tanks. It was reported to be com ing from the Manchurian city of Antung. Meanwhile French forces were reported unofficially Wednes day night to have recaptured the . I strategic northern frontier out- post on Dongkhe from Viet-Minh communists. French troops, bat tling what may be a large-scale communist attempt to seize con trol of Indo-China, cut down a battalion of communist troops in a slaughterhouse attack. Formosa Introduced At Flushing, N. Y., the United C States placed the problem of Formosa before the United Na tions general assembly Wednes day and proposed a program to provide the world organization with standing military forces for ( use against aggressors. 1 Secretary of State Dean Ache son also proposed that the U.N. establish a "U.N. recovery force" to send resources and personnel to aid in the reconstruction of Korea once the communist in vasion has been "crushed as it deserves to be." He also accused Russia of being "the main ob stacle to peace." That the world organization will survive has been proven by the Korean war, Acheson con tinued. "Blood is thicker than ink," he eaid. In Berlin, East-West tension boiled into a new "cold-war" flare-up Wednesday when Rus sian soldiers tried to seize a part of the British sector of the city, j, British Arrive When confronted by British officials backed by 100 troops in armored cars bristling with ma chine guns, the Russians with drew. The number was unde termined. v The incident occurred after sudden mass arrests of sector police, kipnapings and new Rus sian pressure to squeeze the Western occupation sectors. The soviet sector officials announced also that they would cut electrical power in the West ern sector by half at midnight Wednesday night by shutting off all current going from the East to the West. There were difficulties seen in this country Wednesday also. Gen. George C. Marshall stood Wednesday at the door to per haps the most difficult office he ever held in 48 years as a soldier and statesman. Only certain senate confirma tion of his appointment and the formality of administering an oath were needed to make him the nation's third secretary of defense. Hard Job If there was any doubt that the job is hard and demanding, the record should erase the doubt. .' James Forrestal, first secre tary, collapsed under the pres sure, and Louis Johnson, caught up in interdepartmental contro- versy, and congressional critic ism, was forced to resign. The president of the American Bar association said Tuesday night the 17-year record of fed eral judiciary appointments by President Truman and the late President Roosevelt marks a re turn to the "spoils system policy." The association president said "it is wrong to appoint men to the bench purely because they have rendered service to the par , ty in power. If such men are en T titled to some erward, let them be rewarded in some other way." Coed Threatened A terror-stricken 18-year-old bride-to-be is under police pro tection in New Orleans because a skulking night prowler Whistl ing a funeral dirge has threat ened her life. I The girl, Jacquelyn Cfidow, says she will wed, even if she . k has to have a policeman escort her down the isle. The prowler had whistleM his mournful funeral march be neath the girl's window al her home in Paradis, La., for iiany nights.

Committees are publicity, decorations, presentation and election, tickets, chaperones and special guests and Theatre Tryouts To End Final tryouts for "Antigone," the first University Theater play of the season will be held Thurs day, Sept. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Temple building. Any regu larly enrolled student of the Uni versity is eligible to tryout. This excludes, however, freshman women who are not allowed to engage in extracurricular activi ties until after the first six weeks of this semester. The production calls for a cast of 12, eight men and four women. The play is sponsored by the ex perimental theater and will be directed by Dean Graunke. The play is a tragedy which is based on the Greek myth of An tigone, a Greek maiden, and her father Eodipus. Charters The following is a description of the characters given by Graunke as they appear in the drama: An ancient Greek guide acting as narrator leads the audience throughout the entirety of the tragedy and explains the actions of the players. Antigone is the heroine who is motivated by high ideals. She re fuses to compromise with evil; does not care much about her own appearance and is typical throughout the play as a "tom boy." She is straightforward and has definite beliefs about the rights of humanity. She adopts the role of a martyr when she atempts to bury her brother, Polynices, against the orders of the Creon, regent of Thebes. An older woman who is a com panion of Antigone is the nurse. She runs the household in a comical but gruff manner. Antigone's sister, Ismeneme, is constantly pursued by the young men of Thebes. She attempts to persuade Antigone against being "so interested in mankind." Other Parts . The new king or regent, son of Creon, is Haemon. He is engaged to be married to Antigone and has the reputation of a great lover. The present regent, Creon, knows how to handle people but is also very ruthless. The paradox shows him as a dictator who is cruel and demanding. Prominent as Creon's hench men are the guards who are pres ent at the courts following the capture of Antigone. The Messenger is the forebod ing prophet who is always long faced and sad. A sort of Lord Fauntleroy part is played by the Page. Wife of Creon, the present re gent, is Eurydice, queen of Thebes.

Ag Ec Student Wins Grant For Research Leo R. Gray, 25, advanced student in agricultural economic at the University, is the 1950 re cipient of the $1,000 Nathan J. Gold chemurgic research fellow ship, Dean R. W. Goss of the Graduate College announced Wednesday. Gray's research project is "A Survey of Market Outlets and Processing Costs for the Utiliza tion of Nebraska Wheat for Glu ten and Wheat Starch." Wheat is one of the first ag ricultural products in Nebraska to be produced in apparent sur plus, Gray explained, and the manufacture of wheat gluten and derived products has been a rela tively new commercial develop ment. The wheat gluten, wheat starch process involves a special usage of wheat, Gray added, and offers a chance of giving wheat a commercial use which may fav orably compete with its use in foodstuffs. As a result of his survey, Gray said he hopes "new market out lets for wheat gluten and wheat starch will come forth, and old market outlets will be bolstered." The fellowship is established with the University Foundation.
