China War Approved By Kremlin Gen. Douglas MacArthur's pro gram to enlarge the Korean war into red China would probably "delight the Kremlin more than anything else we could do," Gen. Omar N. Bradley said Tuesday. Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said that "frankly in the opinions of the chiefs of staff, this strategy (enlarging the war against China) would involve us in the wrong war, at the wrong place and with the wrong enemy." Testifying before the senators investigating MacArthur's dis missal, he followed Defense Sec retary George C. Marshall who had spoken for seven days in be half of Truman's action. Red China is not the real enemy, he said; "not the power nation seeking to dominate the world." Bradley made it clear that the limited war in Korea is the one favored by the joint chiefs of staff. From a military point of view alone, the chiefs agreed that Mac Arthur had to go," Bradley told . the senators. Bradley also emphasized these points: 1. "Taking on red China is not a decisive move, does not guar antee the end of the war in Korea and may not bring China to her knees." 2. He and the joint chiefs of staff "believe that every effort should be made to settle the pres ent conflict without extending utside Korea." 3. Administration critics "im patient" for a quick solution im Korea should be calm. 4 The joint chiefs of staff are wwflling to take Russia, until the country is stronger. 5. Pulling out of Korea with out being forced out would be appeasement. It is a "militarily sound course" to refuse to en large the war. 6.

ZabeL Ag Builders Start 'Campus Interest' Drive Students of the College of , Ag"11"1-5 hav an opportunity to further the cause of their University, according to an an nouncement yesterday by the Ag tsuiiaers. Almost anyone can accent the ' responsibility of visiting high school students this summer and interest them in attending Ne braska's Ag college. All it takes is a little know how and interest in the Univer sity to qualify for the all im portant task. Interesting prospective en rollees is part of the original purpose of the Ag Builders. They also are conducting all tours of the Ag college campus. I Tours Guide Bulletin The organization, with the fi nancial aid of the administration, published a tours guide bulletin of Ag campus early this year. Several complimentary reports have come from the faculty com mending the almost new Ag group for its tours work. With the current drive for new interest in the college of agricul ture coupled wxth conducting all tours on Ag campus, the Builders plan to share an office with the Cornbusker Countryman next year in the Ag Union. At present, they have a smaller office in the same building; According to Ag Builders head, Frank Sibert, the two groups hope to keep office hours daily. Plans call for installation of a telephone and maintaining office personnel from 8 a.m.. to 5 p.m. Flans for Next Year Next year's plans also include conducting all ticket salec on Ag campus from the central office in the Ag Union. Ag Builders activities are di vided into five phases: Parties and conventions, tours, membership and mass meetings, sales and publicity. Students interested in working with the organization is urged to sign up next fall as soon as school begins. Builders is an all student oi ganiration with tne projects i sponsors aimed at furthering thf University. Opportunities are available to all students. , rs h ' R 2VU Students Argue Merits, Defects Of Constitution On the eve of voting, Univer sity students suddenly became in terested in what kind of student government they wanted to gov ern them.. Interest was apparent "Tuesday evening when Student Council representatives, constitution pro ponents and opposition laid everything on the table at an open discussion meeting. Rob Raun, past president of a Student Council which spent two years formulating the constitu tion, presided over the discussion which considered pros and cons ol the proposed Student Council constitution being voted on to day. There was no lack of words as Council representatives and pro ponents of the proposed constitu tion clashed ideas with opposi tion. Heated Debate Starting with a slight simmer on the issue of whether Greeks were fairly represented, the dis cussion reached a climax when Greeks maintained that if the constitution proved unfair to them- it would be almost impos sible to amend it Fraternities, claimed several students, are as sured only two votes in the pro posed constitution and should in dependents suddenly organize and gain control, it would be impos sible to change the constitution with the proposed ammending process. It was explained this way: Pointing to the stipulation in the constitution requiring a majority of votes in an election in which at least 30 percent of students vote to amend, Jim. Sullivan maintained it would be impossi ble for Greeks with their ap proximate 20 percent population to ever get an ammendment passed. Independents, he main tained, could either refuse to vote and there would not be the re quired 30 percent, or they could vote negative. Sullivan said there is every op portunity to drive Greeks from power under this constitution. Independent Stand George Cobel, new Council president, maintained that inde pendents have no such intent and do not want to force Greeks off campus. He pointed to a slate drawn up irecentli. in engineer ing college, predominently inde pendent, which included Greeks and non Greeks. Frank Jacobs insisted there is no issue where Greeks and inde pendents should line up against each other and that even if inde pendents should gain a majority on the Council the battle would be on the issue. Aaron Schmidt said that the constitution was a "tool" of the administration ana faculty andwhen the gown returned. uidi a new jijc siiu'nu ue urawn up next year. Voting Booth Location Sullivan questioned the Coun cil on reasons for a voting booth in Ferguson hall, stronghold of the engineers. Bob Parker, former Council member, said this was a logical geographical location in relation to the other voting place, the Union. Gene Berg said a sec ond reason was that engineers have complained about ifbt hav ing a booth in previous elections. A third reason was that it would enable a student to "kill two birds with one stone" see the new building and vote. Limited ex penses. Parker said, prevented putting up booths in every col- lege. Family Affair 4 ! ) f i ( ' AWARD WINNERS The special service award presented by Nebraska's chapter of Alpha Epsilon Rho, national honorary student radio society is a tamily affair for James and Jesse Crump. James (1.) is winner of this year's award. His brother Jesse (r.) won the award two years ago.

Regents Hike NU Medical College Fund The Board of Regents is con templating allocation of $2,905,500 to the College of Medicine for the coming biennium. Chairman Arthur Carmody of the legisla ture's budget committee has been informed. 1 This represents a 49 per cent increase over the amount allo cated the current biennium. President J. LeRoy Welch of the Regents wrote Carmody. In the proposed allocation would be $1,993,280 for operating purposes, and $412,220 for main tenance of the physical plant. In addition, an estimated $500,000 would be realized through operation of a bill passed recently to charge part of care of j needy patients at the University hospital to counties. The College of Medicine is the only division of the University which will receive more funds than contemplated when the Uni versity submitted its budget At that time the University several months ago, Welch said, proposed $13,582,639 but the bud get committee reduced this to $12,500,080.
