Ike Says
He's Not
Candidate
Truman Returns
From Meeting
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
said Monday he was grateful lor
being proposed as a presidential
candidate in 1952 but felt his
duty was to remain as president
of Columbia university.
In a guarded statement, how
ever, he did not appear to flatly
withdraw his name as a possible
candidate.
Eisenhower's statement came
after Thomas Dewey said he
favored the supreme allied com
mander of World war II as the
republicans' 1952 presidential
candidate.
The general said he was
'grateful and complimented" by
Dewey's endorsement, but
added, "As for myself, my con
victions as to the place and
methods thru which I can best
contribute something to the
cause of freedom have been
often expressed. Here at Colum
bia university, I have a task
that would excite the pride and
challenge the qualifications and
strength of any man."
Dewey Not Running
Dewey, twice a candidate for
president himself, said he would
not run for the presidency again,
even if he were drafted.
Harold Stassen, twice an un
successful aspirant for the re
publican presidential nomina
tion, hailed Dewey's support of
Eisenhower in 1952 as "real
statesmanship."
Meanwhile, President Truman
was flying back to the mainland
to report on his meeting with
General MacArthur as world
capitals still puzzled over the
significance of the Pacific ren
dezvous. Aides said the president is de
voting extraordinary care to the
major foreign policy address he
will make in San Francisco
Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. CST.
While he will preface his talk
with a reference to his confer
ence with General MacArthur
there has been no indication that
the president will elaborate
greatly on the Wake island
meeting.
Truman was reported anxious
to build up strong American
support lor the spending neces
sary to keep defense appropri
ations moving alter the Korean
emergency ends and to rehabil
itate and reconstruct Korea as
an example to all the far east
that the United States wants
only peace and stability lor the
world.
Move to Capital
In Korea two allied spear
heads smashed toward the
Pyongyang in an armored race
lor the red Korean capital.
There was a growing belief in
Tokyo military circles that the
war would end in a lew weeks.
But a long mopping-up period
may lollow.
The Americans battled thru
stubborn resistance Monday in
a 12-mile thrust to Simmak, 46
air miles southeast ol the com
munist capital. Both lorces were
thrusting through North Korea's
mountain backbone which shield
Pyongyang on the south and
east.
Field reports indicated that
red remnants were crumbling
rapidly.

To Hear Plans
For Fall Revue

to promote more continuity and
entertainment value.
The entire procedure for the
show will be described to the
skitmasters in order to enable
them to better understand the
ideas the Klub wishes to put
across.
"This year's skits," said Pfeif
fer, "should sparkle with the
bright and flashy scenes typical
of Broadway.
"The dramatic pattern could
embrace the atmosphere of a
musical comedy, an evening in a
famous New York restaurant or
just a street scene of Broadway
itself," said Pfeiffer.

individual performances, there
will be new royalty presenta

FRANK SORENSON Dr.
Sorenson serves as one of
NUCWA's faculty advisers. He
believes that University stu
dents should support United
Nations Week and attend its
activities.
UN Support
Proposed
By Sorenson
"University students should
take part in and support the ac
tivities of United Nations Week
for three reasons," Dr. Frank
Sorenson, faculty advisor for
NUCWA, said Monday.
"First," said Dr. Sorenson, "the
topics under discussion are prob
lems which are among the most
important topics in the world to
day. They are problems which
students should be concerned
with."
Support Essential
"Second, in this critical time in
history, the support of all Ameri
can's is essential to the success of
the, organization. The opinions of
American college students will
weigh greatly on the future of
the United Nations," he said.
"Third, University students
traght-to participate because the
state of Nebraska now ranks high
in the states in its observance of
UN activities and its knowledge
of UN affairs," he said. "Stu
dents can help keep that high
place intact by learning of the
UN through the activities pre
sented during this week. In this
way, Nebraska can stay among
the best informed states and
campuses of America."
Faculty Adviser
Dr. Sorenson serves on the
University faculty as professor
of secondary education and as
director of the summer sessions.
He is known throughout Lincoln
and Nebraska for his work in
the United Nations field.
Sumner House, NUCWA's
other faculty adviser, is an in
structor in the political science
department.
