UN Forces Take
Over Red Capital
United Nations forces captured
the capital of North Korea
Thursday.
Two allied spearheads were
able to occupy most of Pyong
yang, red capital since the end of
World War II.
The premier of North Korea,
Kim II Sung, and his government
had apparently fled northward,
possibly into Manchuria or Rus
sian Siberia.
Frightened red troops surrend
ered by the thousands, some clad
only in their long underwear.
The capital was almost deserted,
although in normal times, it had
over 700,000 inhabitants. The two
major escape roads northward
were reported clogged with re
treating red soldiers.
War Nearly Over
Most correspondents predicted
that the war was almost over, :
although guerrilla operations j
may continue. j
In England. Sir Stafford !
Cripps, better known as "Mr.
Austerity," resigned as Chancel
lor of the Exchequer, a post he
had held since November, 1947.
The 61-year-old cabinet member
had been in poor health for some
time.
Senator Herbert R. O'Connor
of Maryland charged that about
a half million gallons of Ameri
can oil had been sent to China
after the Korean war began.
"Improper and wrong" were i
the words used by the chairman
of the senate subcommittee in
vestigating reports that Ameri
can ships have been carrying
strategic materials into red China
since last June.
Quints Take Trip
The Dionne quintuplets, now
16 years old. made their first
visit to New York City. Their
host was Francis Cardinal Spell-
man, archbishop or Jiew xork. I
Their only other trip into the
United States was made m 1943.
when they went to Wisconsin to
launcn some snips.
Reports from Washington are
that President Truman assured
General MacArthur that the ad
ministration policies, in accord
f those of the UN. will be to per
manently neutralize Formosa.
Russia accepted an invitation
issued by the UN to join a 14
member "peace patrol" to smash
world aggression anywhere in the
world.

The reason for the early sub

the duplication of ideas. In case
two groups enter the same idea,
the first script submitted will be
used, and the other group will
be asked to change its theme.
The AWS board believes that
this rule will give each group a

But today, well lived,

A dream of happiness, and

'Dancing Fright'
Solution Offered
Do you die a thousand deaths
on the dance floor? Or are you a
dance fiend who is on the look
out for new dance steps with
which to torture your date?
Whatever the case, your prob
lems are solved. Dance lessons
are yours for the asking at the
Union ballroom every Tuesday
night from 7 to 9. Stu Reynolds,
chairman of the dance commit
tee, has announced that these
lessons are already under way
and are under the supervision
of P. Christie and Miss Marty,
assisted by Miss Ruth Pierce from
the Arthur Murray studio.
There have already been two
successful dances with a turnout
f 200-300 people but new "tal
ent" is always welcome. The
Arthur Murray teachers have
given lessons in the fox-trot and
the waltz, and at the last meet
ing they demonstrated one of the
latest dance steps, the mambo.
Stu announced that demonstra
tions of any dance requested will
be given at these sessions.
For those who feel left out be
cause they can't do the Charles
ton, there are NU student helpers
who will be at your disposal.
These "pros" are Jo Pyle, Stu
Snow, Betty Stratton, and Kathy
McMullen.
