Enemy Losses
Reported High
When Gen. MacArthur flew to
Korea to view ' his heavily-hit
United Nations forces he said
his troops remain relatively se
cure, unbeaten and able to bat
tic the Chinese forces.
In MacArthur's statement to
correspondents there was a note
of guarded optimism in his state
ments concerning his quick trip
to the waffronts.
"All our units are intact and
the losses inflicted on the enemy
have been staggering estimated
by local commanders in the field
as high as 10 to 1 compared to
our own," said MacArthur.
He concluded that the Chinese
reds had failed in a plan to en
compass destruction by on mas
sive stroke.
Truman Consider
National Emergency
President Truman is giving
serious thought to the question
of declaring a national emer
gency possibly to be followed
by wage-price controls. Both re
publican and democratic con
gressional leaders are to meet
with him Wednesday.
There are hints that the ad
ministration will take action in
the wage-price field without
much further delay. This is ex
pected to be done before the
week's end.
Truman also has scheduled a
meeting with the National Se
curity council. This is his top
advisory board on precautions
necessary for national defense.
Marines Give
Casualty Report
The marine corps announced
that the First marine division
suffered more than 30 per cent
casualties in its fight to break
through the Chinese trap in Ko
rea. This possibly means that 6,000
to 7,000 casualties resulted in
the three infantry regiments
making up the division. No spe
cific figures were given by the
marine corps.
Ran May AimoiuM
New Pesea Flan
India's Sir Benegal N. Rau is
expected to announce a new plan
for peace in Korea at the United
Nations.
Rau has been authorized to
draft a peace resolution by the
13 Asian countries which ap
pealed to communist China not to
cross the 38th parallel.
It will contain an immediate
order for both forces in Korea
to cease firing.
Details of the plan will be
made public at any time now.
Chlanr Kai-shek
Frowns on A-botnb
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
expressed the opinion that the
atom bomb should not be used on
communist China.
The nationalist leader said that
he doubted very much if using
the A-bomb on the communist
forces would produce the de
sired result.
He went on to say however,
"conventional bombing confined
to military objectives will be
recognized by Chinese opinion as
a military necessity."
He said that the future of Asia
depends on the firmness of
American Far Eastern policy
rather than on any temporary
or local fortunes of war.
Union Reports
JL
Losses
Heavy
In Book Nook
More than $260 worth of books
have been stolen or mislaid from
the Union Book Nook, Marilyn
Moomey, chairman of the Union
activities committee has re
vealed. In duscussing the loss, Mis
Moomey said that "it happens all
the time bu we don't really
believe that the books were de
liberately stolen but rather taken
by persons who intended to re
turn them but Just never did."
Some of the 97 books which
have been taken are ones which
have been lost before and re
ordered. The books "most likely
to be iaken are fiction Oooks.
Hunor books, especially those by
William Thurber, arc missing.
The most unpopular books seem
to be the biographies.
The total value of the books ',
now in the Book Nook is csti
mated at $1,303. Most of the
books were not bought by the
Union. Other campus organiza
tions have contributed them.
Genene Grimm, activities di
rector, stated that "the money
spent on replacing books could
be used for many other pur
poses in the Union."
She reminded students that the
Book Nook is not patrolled and
is for relaxation and pleasure and
no books can be checked out.
They muft be read in the room.
The Weather!
Partly cloudy, occasional lltht ay togcther ,n meeting to pass
now. Little change in temper- 0n the committee recommenda
ftture. Illrh in the 80'a. ' tions.
Any student planning to use
this year's Student Directory for
Christmas card mailing ad
dresses, had better find another
source.
The Directory will not be dis
tributed until early in January
according to Gene Berg, presi
dent of Builders.
As a result of lagging admin
istrative and student cooperation
in compiling the book, the final
proofs were not returned to the
Journal until recently, according
to Berg.
Corresponding to the date the
last proofs were returned, the
Journal will have the book com
pletely closed and ready for
printing by the beginning of va
cation. This will enable distri
bution of the book early in Jan
uary, the Journal estimates.
Meanwhile, under direction of
Berg, attempts are being made
to facilitate earlier publication
of the book next year. Builders
representatives are talking to
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson, Dr.
Goorge Rosenlof, registrar, and
Fritz Daly, Alumni association
head, to promote easier publication.
Moot Court
Competition
Continuing
Freshmen practice competition
in Moot Court continued Friday
and Monday as seven law stu
dents presented cases.
Robert J. Steininger and Wil
liam J. Kummer won over
Robert W. Harkson and George
A. Lee Monday afternoon. Jay L.
Dunlap and Paul D. Dunlap won
over Gerald E. Ford Friday after
noon. Judging Steininger and Kum
mer and Harkson and Lee were
T. Vrana, F. Fisher and Robert
Wiley, upperclass law students.
Meaning Questioned
Their case was to determine
the meaning of section 16-703 of
the 1949 cumulative supplement
of the revised statutory in
Nebraska.
J. Moran, J. Edstrom and
W. Fuhr, upperclassmen, were
judges in the Dunlap and Dunlap
versus Ford competition.
The case involved a Mrs. Jones
who checked two bags containing
$900 worth of clothes at a Burl
ington depot in Lincoln. When
she got her two check stubs, she
thought they were merely for
identification.
Red Letters
The stubs however, in the
upper left hand corner contained
the word "contract" in red let
ters about one-fourth inch high.
In small print at the bottom of
the ticket was written the terms
which said the liability for bag
gage was not to exceed $25.
When Mrs. Jones' bags were
lost, she sued the company for
recovery, thinking her stubs- were
for identification purposes only.
The court, held that she could
recover.
Boys Town Choir
Concert Sunday
A concert of Christmas music
will be presented by the Boys
Town choir on Sunday, Dec. 17

There are still a few tickets
available in the Union activities
office but the supply is limited.
Students art urged to get their

pointed at the last minute. The

radio station, KNU. is open to
suggestions and opinions from all
NU students, concerning KNU's

CHRISTMAS RECITAL A French story, "The Juggler of Notre Dame," will represent the ser
mon in the Christmas worship, service which Orchesis is presenting Wednesday. According to a
legend, should anyone place a perfect gift before a wooden statue of the Madonna, she would
raise her hand in blessing. A poor entertainer, who juggles there because it is the one thing he
can do, dies exhausted but receives the blessing. Shirley Sidles will portray the Madonna. Left to
right in the picture are monks, Diane Downing, Wanda Bott, and-Dee Irwin. Helen Troy Martin,
Orchesis director , is the Juggler.

classes will present a one-act
comedy, in Spanish, entitled "El

and some letters written in
French. The cast of the play is
as follows: Clemencia, Edwina
Hokenson; La Generala, Nancy
Koehler; El General, Bernal Car
ter; El Profesor, Bob Ingrahm;
El Coronal, Don Innis, and As
sistant, Ed Miyahara.

ceiling and each guest takes his
turn at trying to break it. When
it is finally broken, all the con
tents spill onto the floor and the
scramble for them begins.

"buneulos" will be served. The
"buneulo" is a kind of sweet
