The coffee hour is being
sponsored by the Union convo
cations committee so that stu

As a war correspondent in
Moscow for three years during
World War II, Hindus wrote for
the New York Herald-Tribune.
Since the war he has traveled in
the Middle East and has written
several books about his trips.
Hindus came to the United
States from Russia at the age
of 14 and later attended Col
gate university and Harvard.
In 1922 Hindus spent several
months with the Russian Douk
hobars in Western Canada, and
the resulting articles led to an
appointment by Glenn Frank,
the editor of Century Magazine.
Frank commissioned Hindus to
go to Russia to investigate and
write about conditions in the
villages.

SUMNER SCHLICTER, Harvard economist, stated that the
U S was in for a continued period of strikes, high taxes, and
organized pressure groups. These pressure groups, society s loboy
ists, will exert an increasing amount of influence on our economy.
JUAN PERON dictator-president of Argentina, admitted that
he is trying to build a fascist-type state. Strange as it may seem
in the light of this statement, Moscow has halted its propaganda
attacks on Peron with the result that "the experts are stumped."
THE SAVANNAH SPECIAL, crack passenger train of the
Atlantic Coast Line, was wrecked on the way to its namesake
city killing two persons and injuring 21 others.
COL. JAMES M. HANLEY, eighth army judge advocate and
the man who originally released the figures on communist atroc
ities in Korea, issued a supplementary statement raising the total
number of Americans murdered from about 5,000 to 6,270. Can.
Rideway in the meantime dispatched his public information of
ficer, Col. George Welch, to Korea from Tokyo to check on the
story.
REYES BEECH, Lincoln Journal-Chicago Daily News foreign
correspondent, pointed out several unusual aspects surrounding
the release of the figures on communist murders in Korea, une
such factor was that Col. Hanley apparently hadn't consulted
either Gen. James Van Fleet, eighth army commander, w Gen.
Matthew Ridgway, far eastern commander, on the advisability oi
releasing the figures. .
Although it has been confirmed that the South Koreans have
induced m executions which have not always been free from
doubt as to their legality, nothing has been officially mentioned
on this subject.
ROBERT MUNSON, A.P. correspondent in Tokyo, quoted
a high far east command officer, whose name was not given, as
saying that the question of the treatment of prisoners is what has
been holding up the cease-fire talks at Panmunjom. The officer
said, "The reds don't want to talk about what happened to their
prisoners."
