With Mac
Meeting Planned
For Pacific Area
President Truman and Gen.
Douglas MacArthur will meet
this weekend in the Pacific to
discuss "the final phase of United
Nations action in Korea."
In an announcement Truman
said that he will discuss with
MacArthur "other matters within
his responsibility," but did not
disclose what these would be.
Although the White House
withheld an announcement on
the place of the meeting, it was
presumed to be somewhere west
of Hawaii.
Accompanying the president,
who will take off from St. Louis
Thursday in the White House
plane "Independence," will be
Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of
the joint chief of staff; W. Aver
ell Harriman, special assistant to
the president in foreign affairs;
Phillip Jessup, state department
roving ambassador-at-large, and
Dean Rusk, assistant secretary of
state for far eastern affairs.
Secretary of the Army Pace
also may make the trip, which
will last about a week.
Wonsan Taken
While United States officials
planned conferences concerning
the Korean situation, South
Koreans captured the prize red
Korean port and arsenal city of
Wonsan Tuesday and took over
its important airstrip practically
intact after smashing the heaviest
opposition they have encoun
tered above the 38th parallel.
To the southwest, U.S. First
Cavalry foot troopers ran into
fierce resistance just north of 38.
Against log pillbox positions
set up before the war, the caval
ry's advance with tank, artillery
and air support was slowed to
a crawl. This is the line the com
munists insisted was for "de
fense" but which was used as
starting blocks for the red in
vasion of South Korea June 25.
With the capture of Wonsan,
a city of 150,000 people on the
Sea of Japan coast, the allies
have taken the first major com
munist ruled center taken by the
Republic of Korea's liberation
forces on their 10-day-old rally
into the northern red country.
However, the biggest prize yet
Pyongyang the communist cap
ital, still was many miles from
allied reach.
Budget Cot
In Washington, meanwhile, in
contrast to increased expendi
tures for defense materials, the
budget bureau announced Tues
day a $580,271,335 cut in non
defense appropriations $30,271,
335 more than the minimum cut
congress ordered after voting the
funds.
The bureau's reductions for
the fiscal year ending next June
30, were approved by President
Truman. They were spread over
31 agencies in the executive
branch which shared in the $35,-554,600,425-single-package
appro
priations act to which the cuts
applied.
Fighting in the world was con
fined to Korea Tuesday. Fresh
French troops were being rushed
to the big fortress of Thatkhe to
meet communist Viet Minh
guerrillas pressing down toward
it from the Chinese communist
Indochina border.
This was according to a French
military spokesman.
Med-Men Called
With Korean fighting continu
ing, the defense department
called Tuesday for the drafting
of 1,522 physicians, dentists and
veterinarians for the army dur
ing November, December and
January.
The total includes 922 physic
ians, 500 dentists and 100 veter
inarians. On the lighter side of the news,
the National American Legion
convention forsook business ses
sions Tuesday to stage a mam
moth six-hour parade designed to
accent the need for continued na
tional preparedness.
At the opening of the 32nd an
nual convention Monday, speak
ers expressed satisfaction over
the Korean tf'ar developments
but warned that Russia is still
on the march.

Chairmen Report
On Signatures
Response of students signing
the Freedom Scrolls has been
"very favorable" reports Leon
Pfeiffer, president of Kosmet
Klub, and Jerry Matzke, chair
man of the campus Crusade for
Freedom.
Kosmet Klub workers, who are
in charge of soliciting student
signatures on the scrolls, already
have contacted a number of or
ganized houses and report favor
able response, says Peiffer. "So
far we have not had any report
of anyone refusing to sign the
scroll," he continued.
32 Workers
The 32 workers each have
been assigned to two organized
campus houses, says Peiffer,
from which to get signatures.
Tentative goal for each worker
was 150, and Peiffer reports that
most workers already have more
than this number.
Other workers have been as
signed to the dormitories and at
stations in the Union.
According to Peiffer about
50 per cent of students con
tacted knew what the crusade
was and signed readily. Others,
who had only a vague idea what
the drive was, signed the Scroll
after workers explained its pur
pose. Matzke "Encouraged'

How much work is involved?
And most important, how much

o
For vliii
Kosmet Klub's first move to launch a new entertain
ment program on the University campus began today.
An endeavor for support by the student body in re
gards to this action also has been requested by the organi
zation.
Foremost of the new plans is
modification of the spring mu
sical with coed participation in
the Kosmet Klub spring musical.
In the letterip column of to
day's "Rag," Kosmet Klub pre
sents the request for a mixed
cast for student endorsement.
According to Leon Pfeiffer,
president, the action which would
revamp the presentation of the
spring show would do away with
the much-criticized slap-stick and
make room for real musical
comedy entertainment "which
could be presented only if a
mixed cast participates."
True Student Talent
"The primary purpose of Kos
met Klub," said Pfeiffer, "is to
present for the students' enjoy
ment a type of program which
illustrates true student talent.
"When men dress as women,
wholesome musical comedy is
obviously impossible and bur
lesque is inevitable. The inclu
sion of coeds in a spring show
would alleviate this situation en
tirely. "In striving for this goal, this
year's Kosmet Klub is using the
following principles to direct its
rules for the show: written
scripts; deletion of questionable
material; definite rules for the
show; faculty supervision of re
hearsals; and other action of
similar nature which has been
instigated and promoted by our
members in an attempt to gain
a show of the type which is
i nlescincr tr oil
j pi' to all
I kosmet iviuo leeis tnat coeds
! should be allowed the freedom
I t0 participate in such a show,
i which would give students a
i better opportunity for dramatic
I and musical development rather
j than mediocre half-acting."
Past Performances
Growing out of a grave con
cern about performances in past
springs, Klub members' decision
for a revitalization was reached
last spring.
In order to carry forth their
campaign to accomplish the de
sired reorganization, Kosmet
Klub is enlisting the aid of sev
eral groups and organizations.
The entire situation has been
discussed with the faculty com
mittees. Also meetings are being
held with co-educational groups
to familiarize them with Klub
aims and purposes. In this way,
the dramatic group hopes to gain
their cooperation and interest.
A survey of dramatic organ
izations on other college cam
puses was conducted last spring
to obtain information about the
functions which these groups
, , B r
penormea.
A tabulation of 31 question
naires sent out revealed several
significant points.
Schools Reply
Of the schools queried, 19
made replies. It was found that
) 0f this number, 16 had organiza
tions similar to that of Kosmet
Klub. Comments of these schools
seemed to support the Kosmet
Klub's opinions.
Said Pfeiffer, "Kosmet Klub is
one of the most different college
groups in the nation, and be
came popular due to the riotous
comedy and slapstick of male
actors.
Now it is the conviction of
i the Klub that rjresent-dav au-
diences demand a more subtle
program that is wholesome and
indicative of University intelli
gence. "After all, the primary pur
pose of Kosmet Klub is to pro
duce entertainment of definite
value to the University. As we
see it now, the only way this
can be accomplished is to stimu
late mixed participation in the
spring musical and a more im
proved theme perhaps like the
Fall Revue's Broadway theme."
Specific Aims
A few of the specific aims be
sides encouragement of coed
participation in the spring musi
cal included: moves to:
( 1 ) Reorganize the worker
training program, placing less
emphasis on ticket sales and
more emphasis on service as an
organization.
(2) Place the Klub on a sound
financial basis.
(3) Improve faculty relation
ships. (4) Instill in University stu
dents a concept of the type of
show and entertainment the club
wishes to sponsor and produce.
(5) Initiate new projects of
entertainment and service.
