U.S. Policy
Is to Avoid
A-Bomb Use
Defense Secretary George C.
Marshall has announced that U.S.
policy in Korea is keyed to a
determination to avoid an atomic
war without appeasement.
The policy to which Mr. Mar
shall is referring is: "to inflict
Buch terrific casualties on the
Chinese communists that the
enemy will be forced to accept,
e negotiated peace."
Marshall told the senate inves
tigating committee on the dismissal-
of Gen. Douglas MacAr
thur that it might cost Americans
years of patience, courage and
poise to attain this negotiated
peace.
The alternative to these years
of patience courage, and poise,
according to Marshall, is the holo
caust of all-out war.
The foregoing is cited as the
administration's answer to Mac
Arthur's charge that it has no
policy in Korea except to prolong
a bloody stalemate.
Positive is what President Tru
man and Marshall have termed
the policy to deprive aggressors
of reward but at the same time
to do nothing that would broaden
the hostilities.
Marshal had testified that
MacArthur's proposals for carry
ing the war to the Chinese reds
outside Korea would risk war
with Russia and destruction of
western defense projects.
Atomic War Is
Ral Possibility
President Truman does not
want to be responsible for atomic
warfare wiping out some of the
nation's major cities.
The nation's leader announced
this in a speech to the country
Monday night.
An atomic war with Russia is
"a real possibility" but it would
be more likely under the policies
of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the
President said.
Mr. Truman declared his posi
tion in a speech which was broad
cast nationally, before a meeting
of civil defense officials.

Navy Program
Quota Doubled
For Next Fall
The University Navy ROTC
contract training program quota
has been nearly doubled effect
ive next fall, Capt. T. A. Dono
van, professor of Naval Science,
said Wednesday.
The Navy ROTC contract plan
provides for four years training
at the University while the stu
dent pursues the course of study
of his choice. Trainees must take
one summer cruise of three
weeks, accept a commission
upon graduation as an ensign in
the U.S. Naval Reserve or second
lieutenant in the Marine Corps
Reserve, and agree to two years

The Navy ROTC at the Uni
versity also operates a "regular"
program under which the student
takes a course of study deter
mined by the Navy, and accepts
a commission as midshipman in
the regular Navy. Entrance is by
national competive exams. The
new quota does not affect this
program.

RUSSIAN EXPERT Dr. Alex Inkeles of the Russian research
center is talking to Dr. William Swindler, president of Kappa
Tau Alpha. Dr. Inkeles was the recipient of Kappa Tau Al
pha's award for his book, "Public Opinion in Soviet Russia: A
Study in Mass Persuasion," as the best study in the field of
journalism for 1950.
Public Opinion Is Tool
To Reds, Says Inkeles
Genuine free expression is not
possible unless the members of
the society are free and inde
pendent, stated Dr. Alex Inkeles
in an address at Love Library,
Monday evening.
Inkeles, associate of the Rus
sian research center at Harvard,
spoke on the role of public opin
ion and mass communication in
Soviet Russia. He said that Bol
shevists consider public opinion
to be the "instrumentality to fos
ter the goal of achievement of a
communist or socialist society."
Think For Masses
The role of the party. Inkeles
said, is to act as the thinking
body for the masses. The party
has established elaborate meth
ods of controlling the means of
communication so that the peo
ple will become indoctrinated
with socialist beliefs.
Emphasis has shifted from poli
tics to the necessity of getting out

aned an interview with Dr. K.
D. Hilchmore, B. S. famous per
sonnel manager and job coun
selor. His advice to young job
seekers was this:
"Well, now the first thing
about job seekers that I always
notice is that they are looking for
a job. With this fact, it is easier
to progress, for you know what
you're talking about.
"I find it essential o find out
just what they can do before I
hire anybody. I advise anyone
looking for a job to be able to
answer that question.
"So be ready to demonstrate
and prove your skill. I remem
ber the case of one charming
young lady who came to me
wanting a job. When I asked her
what she could do, she was very
eager and willing to show me
everything, ah, that she could do.
I couldn't hire her however; I

point of view on problems of im
portance at a given time, he de
clared. They report the attitudes
of the people back to the regime.
Inkeles stated that repetitive
ness and constant claims on the
individual are characteristic of
Communist agitation. Social proc
esses are news, not human inter
est stories. He said they have de
veloped a standard where one
thing is eant while another
thing is bAd.

'Demonstrate Skill'
"To get back to the subject, al

entertainer, carry a . . . well, that
is, always be prepared.
"Read the want-ads. They
will always give you a lead as to
where you're needed. As a mat

right here with ads in them."
.That was all Dr. Hilchmore had
to say. He's looking for a job
too.
There are many jobs available
to college students, so don't be too
discouraged. All you need are a
degree (print your own, if neces
sary), much talent along your
selected line and an honest face
when you tell people you arent
going back to school and that this
isn't just a summer job.
