Allies Poised
For Final Push
As a third Smith Korean divi
sion wheeled into line on Korea's
38th parallel Tuesday, indications
increased that the United Nations
forces - were getting rendy for
their final big offensive to crush
the North Korean communist
army.
The attack appeared to be only
matter of days. A source close
to Gen. Douglas MacArthur said
that allied troops would begin
their big assault as soon as they
are fully regrouped and equipped.
Attacking in dirty weather,
American Superforts and light
bombers reported increasing
enemy activity along railroads
and highways northeast and
northwest of Pyongyang, North
Korean capital. The city is ex
pected to be the next big com
munist defense line, running from
there to Wonsan on the east
coast.
Objectives Taken
All assigned objectives below
the 38th parallel have been taken
by Americans and South Kor
eans. As the communists got most
of the bad news in Korea, allied
intelligences sources said Wed
nesday night the cominform had
ordered Austrian communists to
drop plans to seize power in that
country.
The western intelligence sourc
es said that live representatives
of the cominform (communist in
ternational information bureau)
flew to Vienna four days ago at
the request of Soviet military
authorities and released the
order.
The Russians, in opposing the
local Austrian communist lead
ers, said: "This is not the time.
Your action should be limited to
harassing the government."
Marine Increase
While Russians issued orders
In Vienna, Rep. Vinson (d., Ga.)
said Wednesday he is going to
ask congress to let the marines
build up to four combat divisions
and 24 air squadrons, a total of
326,000 men. He declared that
the nation's security required, it
Vinson, who is chairman of the
house armed service committe
spoke up after a marine leader
reported that the group is aiming
to expand beyond its June 1951
target strength of 166,155 men.
Enemy shelling 'isn't the only
cause of casualties in Korea.
Twenty-three persons were killed
and more than 200 injured when
an ammunition train standing
next to a passenger train at
Yongchong exploded last week.
19 Recommended
Ninteen American military
police have been recommended
for the soldier's medal for hero
ically rescuing injured Korean
civilians and military personnel
from the scene while ammunition
was exploding and burning.
Although the Americans, aren't
welcome in North Korea, they
are in Yugoslavia. Ambassador
Vladimir Popovic, who recently
returned from Belgrade, has
asked for United States aid in
hehoing meet a threatened food
crisis following a disastrous
summer drouth.
And the people in the United
States are getting more help from
the government also. Bigger pen
sion checks started going out
this week to some 3,000,000 social
security beneficiaries.
They were authorized by the
recent act of congress liberaliz
ing benefits.
To Hunt Cans
In Chicago, federal and state
officials joined Wednesday in
attempting to round up remnants
of the old" Capone gang for
questioning on two recent slay
ings and appearance before a
U. S. senate crime committee.
As military victory tended to
diminish the Korean war as a
political issue, domestic problems
began to reclaim attention in the
congressional campaign Wednes
day. Sen. Robert Taft, who has been
contending the Truman adminis
tration's "blunders" invited the
Korean communists attack shifted
to a denunciation of the Brannan
farm plan.

and more of the steel beams are
being bolted into place each day.
U. S. Agriculural

will be located in the north and
east sections of the building.

and internal development. She
said a special program adapted
to put the students back on their
feet is being carried out by the
USSF."
Miss Stehr who spent five
years in Berlin following the
World War related her own per
sonal experiences to the group.
"The situation in Germany is just
as serious as in many parts -of
the world. "In fact," she said,
"there is the typically deprived
student without sufficient food,
shelter and books."
In order to meet the situation,
WSSF establishes employment
agencies, health centers and coop
houses. These facilities are de
signed to help the students help
themselves.
"In other words," said Miss
Stehr, "we aim not to merely
hand out money and funds, but
attempt to put the money to work
for us."
"Victims of Circumstance"
Students all over the world are
victims of the circumstances
caused by the war or economic
conditions," said Miss Stehr.

How" programs. They a,re de

AWS Board, opened the last
meeting with a plea for activity
workers.

of the Red Cross College Unit,
was the first to speak. He gave
an outline of the Union activi
ties which included the workers
pool.

tle Red Cross does to serve the
campus. They provide entertain
ment for the local institutions,
such as orphanges, reformator
ies, hospitals, etc. He also told of
the relief work the Red Cross
supplied at the time of the flood
in Lincoln last year.

explained that all women stu
dents were members of the
WAA. The facilities of' the WAA
cabin were stressed and the
organization of the WAA clubs
such as tennis, orchesis, etc.

tor, asked for cartoonists, campus
wit. writers, and salesmen for
the "lighter side of carious life."
Typists Needed

Cornhusker, called for typists and
other workers to help put out the
yearbook. He stressed that it is
not necessary to be a journalist.

tion boasts of 56 members who

able so the employment setups
were provided.
The health centers allow stu
dents who are not physically well
to rest for a month or two. Spe
cial examples of these centers
are those in Greece where starva
tion and inadequate heating
facilites have necessitated such
welfare.
"If students at the University
could put themselves in the place
of their neighbors on the other
side of the world I believe that
they would give quite willingly,"
said Miss Stehr.
"Students in Asiatic countries
as well as in European nations
are quick to recognize from
"whence cometh their help," she
said.
"In past years, students have
appreciated the aid which they
received and realized the United
States has been their benefactor."
Besides the contribution which
will b; designated for foreign aid,
about one-fourth will be given to
the Community Chest which
helps to support the University
YMCA and YWCA.
