Douglas Mac Arthur's Korean war policies would seriously affect Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower's defense plans for Europe, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall said at a senate hearing Monday. On the seventh day of his testi mony, he said: He believes that Eisenhower supports President Truman's limited Korean war program. Administration military leaders present a solid front in support of the president's and in opposi tion to MacArthur proposals for the blockade of China, bombing of Manchurian bases and use of Chinese nationalist troop, MacArthur had previously testified that his policies and ideas were in agreement with those of other military leaders, including Marshall. In his testimony Marshall said that Russia has made "sizable increases'' recently in her mili tary garisons in the Korean area. He repeated that he fears that adoption of the MacArthur plan would lead to war with Russia and a world-wide conflict. He said that there are serious doubts that MacArthur's program would bring about a quick defeat of the Chinese communists. Allies Expect New Offensive Chinese communists troops continue to expand a bridge head across the Co'yang river on the central Korea front Monday. A second spring offensive is expected in the next ten days with a 500,000 man army. Despite the pounding of American guns, the offensive continued in all its strength. United Nations patrols probed elsewhere along the 100-mile front with Uttl opposition. The "United Nations forces were getting a small but steady trickle of Chinese deserters, AP Correspondent John Randolph reported. The communists appeared to be avoiding open conflict and were bringing in fresh troops into buildup areas on the west and central fronts. Allied pilots hunting through the rain clouds reported that reds were steadily filtering south ward. Lt Gen United Nations ground com mander, said that he found his men quietly confident they would stop the communist offensive when it .comes. Senator Fails to Kill Tax Appraisal Bill The bill before the Nebraska legislature to set up a Lancaster county tax appraisal board failed to be killed today despite the efforts of Sen. Robert McNutt, one of the introducer's of the measure. McNutt, one of the originators of the bill with Sen. Thomas Adams withdrew a few days ago and has fought it ever since., The bill provides for a three member board to be paid $5,000 a year each. The members would be ap pointed by the governor but Adams said that he would be willing to let the county commis sioners name the board members. He asked a two-year trial of the proposal. Col.

The constitution already has been approved by the Student Affairs committee. The document, if it passes the student vote and receives subsequent approval various campus groups and or ganizations. Consideration of the document was not confined to the regular weekly meeting held each Wed nesday by the Council. Instead, Council members, hold-overs, met quite frequently with faculty members of the Student Affairs committee. x Weighed the Pros-Cons Other participants in the draft ing of a new Constitution in cluded students who stated their views at hearings, taking up for the most part, the question of representation on the Council. After the views were presented, the joint studentrfaculty com mittee met again to weigh the pros and cons of the matter. A few articles which the con stitution provides are: honest tabulations of votes for any elec tion procedure on campus, con ducted by any group; clearly de fined program of eligibility, fil ings, election and publicity of prospective candidates for mem bership to the Student Council; and, individual students will have a larger voice in student govern ment under the new system. Students, if the constitution is passed, will still have the right to submit proposals for constitu tional revision or amendment. It Happened at NU From the iooks ol things, not only are the students at the University wondering what happened to the last issue of Corn Shucks, but Will Shake speare has also' been doing some heavy thinking on the matter recently.

SovereigntyDisputeCause Of Russo-Yugoslav Battle There is only one disputed question in the conflict between Yugoslovia and Russia. That question is sovereignty, according to Ales Bebler, Yugo slavian delegate to the United Nations, in ' an address at the Union ballroom Monday morning. The Russians, Bebler said, are trying to overthrow the Yugosla vian government. They have at tempted to start anti-Tito guer rilla warfare but the Yugoslavian people are too loyal to iTto to support jsuch attempts, he said. Similar Aims Both countries believe in and practice Marxian concepts of communism, he said, but Russia will not allow Yugoslavia to gov ern her country as she sees fit. The Soviet Union has started a campaign to bring Yugoslavia into her complete power. Yugoslavia's resistance to this policy resulted in the recent dip lomatic break between the two, he added. The Soviet campaign cost the Yugoslavs $400 million when a Russian - sponsored economic blockade stopped shipment of equipment into Yugoslavia which had been paid for in advance. In retaliation, Bebler said that the only rational policy for Yugo slavia was a system of "moral blockades." No Cause for Attack He defined these blockades as a concerted effort by Yugoslavia In Yugoslavia, workers' coun- to give Russia no cause for at cils in individual factories elect , tck.

Bebler spoke at an all University convocation Tuesday. Bebler Calls Yugoslav Yugoslavian communism is true communism, said Ales Bebler, Yugoslavian delegate to the Unit ed Nations, as he addressed a 'group of students in the faculty lounge Monday afternoon. The Russians have deviated from the true course of Marxian doctrine, he said. Differences of opinion arose, he continued, when the Russians attempted to in fringe upon the sovereignty of Yugoslavia. party membership in Yugoslavia was a burden rather than a privi lege.

Yugoslav Traitor Draja Maihailovich was exe cuted following the war, because he was a traitor to the Yugoslavs, Bebler said. During the war, Maihailovich had fought against Tito's forces, and toward the end of the conflict, actively cooper ated with the Germans and Ital ians. Maihailovich rejected several overtures from Tito to wage a joint war against the Germans, Bebler said. Maihailovich repre sented a discredited and corrupt pre-war regime, he said. Bebler said that capitalism had been tried and found wanting during the 1919-41 period. Com munists believe that their system is the only workable plan for the betterment of the Yugoslavian people. bring the results which he con sidered necessary. Communism has brought these results, he said. Since it has brought more eco nomic stability to the country, the people of the country are "solidly behind" the present communist government. Low Living Standards "The people are forced to en dure a low standard of living now, but their faces are illumin ated because they have faith that the government will soon provide them' a better life," Bebler con tinued. Although the Russians have been pursuing a "tremendous and hideous" propoganda campaign against Yugoslavia, Bebler assur ed the audience that his country wanted only peace. "We cannot get the results our program assures," he said, "if we are not left in peace." This program, Bebler added, has already brought his country the greatest amount of economic deevlopment it has enjoyed in all 23 years of its existence.
