of 450,000 18-year olds to build
tip the armed forces. Secretary
of Defense Marshall and Mrs.
Anna Rosenberg, assistant secre

Unless the armed services can
call on the 18-year olds .they
will have to ask congress to let
them draft young married men.
In that case, she continued,

witnout children, might have to
be called from the present 19-26

UN Forces Retreat
Before Red Charge
United Nations troops were
thrown back out of the city of
' Wonju, by a wild charge of 10,
000 red infantrymen.
Tanks of the U. S. Second divi
sion fought their way into south
eastern Wonju through a moun
tain blizzard. At the same time
nn infantry force of Americans,
French and Dutch tried to drive
a wedge into the southwestern
section of the city. They were
stopped a mile from Wonju.
The communist counter-attack
wiped out in a few hours gains
of about three to five miles made
by the United Nations troops in
two days of hard fighting.
Retreat Recommended
Says Correspondent
In Tokyo, General MacArthur
is said to have recommended to
Washington the withdrawal of
fill U. S. forces in Korea.
According to a Korean cor
respondent, UN forces are with
drawing in good order. They are
virtually intact as a fighting
force and can inflict heavy cas
ualties on the enemy. But, ac
cording to the correspondent, in
high military quarters this is
twaidered ir!osing proposition.
According to military estimates
the Chinese have the potential to
push us off the Korean peninsula.
N-Club Profits
To Aid Wife
OfDickHutton
Proceeds from the N-Club pro
gram Wednesday night will go
to help Mrs. Dick Hutton defray
the expense incurred during the
illness of her husband, former
University student and athlete.
The establishment of a schol
arship fund to commemorate

"Co rnhusker Highlights of
1950" was shown in the Coli
seum. Following tne mm a one
handed basketball game was
staged between the sophomore
and senior members of the foot
ball team. Each team member
wore a boxing glove on one
hand.
The exhibition game was simi
lar to the contest held during
the half-time of the Nebraska
Iowa State basketball game
Monday night.
The film featured excerpts
from each of the nine Husker
football contests during the 1950
season. The 50-minute film was
narrated by Bob Askey, radio
announcer.
Sound Included
In previous years the Corn
husker Highlights have been
filmed and shown but never be
fore with sound. The movies
were filmed at each game by
the University photo-lab.
The film featured the out
standing offensive and defensive
plays of the Cornhuskers and
the running of Bobby Reynolds
coupled with the accurate pass
ing of Fran Nagle.
Don Bloom's run against Kan
sas State was also featured in
the movie. Reynolds' famous run
against Missouri was shown. An
other Reynolds feature in the
film was the halfback's running
kick against Oklahoma.
It is hoped by N-club members
that enough money will be taken I
in from the program to enable
them to set up a scholarship
fund for track athletes in honor
of Hutton.
Fund Plans
Enough money is needed so
the scholarship fund may be set
up for several years. This is
J necessary to insure availablity of
J the scholarship to University
I athletes for many years.
! The scholarship will be
5 awarded to a University track
athlete on the basis of need,
iability and grades, according to
'V. 'the N-club president, Hank

f Hank said that need and

FrenehFilm,
"Farrebique"
Persons interested in French
movies will have an opportun
ity to see one either Friday, Jan.
12, or Saturday, Jan. 13, at Lov
Library auditorium.
Georges Roquier's film, 'Far
rebique," is to be presented both
evenings at 7 p.m., under the
sponsorship of the University
YMCA.
Admission price for the movie,
which is one of a series of for
eign films brought to the Uni
versity by the YMCA, will be
65 cents, tax included.
In 1949, "Farrebique" won two
prizes in Europe. They were the
Grand Trix Du cinema and the
Grand Crixdela Critique interna
tional.
The movie also gained wide
acclaim in the United States after
its recent premier showing In
New York.
Tom Pryor of the New York
Times reported that the film
"will live long in the memory
of those unfortunate enough to
come under its spell."
Another New York Times re
viewer stated that the movie "is
unquestionably in the tradition
of the great pre-war films from'
France.
The New Republic reviewed
the picture as "the most out
standing and simple and con
vincing study of a little segment
of society you are likely to see."
The movie deals with the
plant, animal and human life
which thrives on a fruitful farm
in France, and how the lives
are affected by the changing
seasons.
It is the story of an actual
French family and its life dur
ing the course of the year. Al
though there are no professional
actors in the film, it effectively
enacts the romance between the
youngest son and the daughter of
a neighboring farmer.
