K. R. Gerhart Eisler. Drofessional communist agent who fled Nazi Germany and then fled back to Germany to escape United States arrest, may wish that he had stayed in the United States and faced the verdict of an American court. Eisler, who has been ousted as the Kremblin's propaganda chief in communist East Germany, has been rumored to be on the skids. Resorting to the old Nazi anti- semitic line, Communists have been weeding out all East Ger man Jews who have any public influence at all, even school teachers. Eisler, whose propa ganda machine has been telling tne world how ideal and demo cratic living conditions are in Eastern Germany, has been caught in this latest purge. . . This is Quite a reversal for Communist Eisler, who, when re turning to East Germany, was given a hero's welcome after he had skipped $23,500 bail in the United States and slipped aboard; a I'oush ship. If and when the Communists bring comrade Eisler to trial, it is a gooa Dei mat tne Communist press In East Germany will soft pedal the news-indefinitely. In any case, it certain that the press vDiT't 1st the ex-propaganda chief tell the rest of the world how ideal and democratic the East German court system is. toon vor fnr so f lit?

Vienam's National Army, supported by the French Armed Forces and the rencn Government, is lighting to rid the country'of the Communist-dominated Viet Minh troops. which have attempted to gain control of the peninsula since the war. This war, which hasn't received much publicity in the United States, is being waged at a high cost for high stakes. The Associ ated State of Vietnam is rich in coal, tin, electrical power and is Asia's rice bowl.

Miss Cather also contributed a weekly column to the college newspaper, The Nebraskan. It was entitled "Pastels in Prose." This novelist originally planned to study medicine.

It was a literary doctorate. She received the gold medal of the National Association of Arts and Letters in 1944. This is the institute's highest award which is designed not to honor a specific worn but sustained output of a writer or artist. Though she died in 1947, Miss tamer s works continue to live on.

"I'm sorry," I replied. "I don'i want to sign." The above incident didn't hap pen to me. The above person is one of the Indignant students on campus who feel that our so called spring prom, sponsored by the Junior-Senior class board, is being forced upon the student body. I have always objected to tha spring prom idea. I objected to it last year about this time. I was a member of last year s Junior-Senior class board. I was an underwriter last year and lost $10.80 on the deal. The loss of this sum, you per haps will say, is what makes me so bitter. I don't believe so. It instead taught me one thing: whether or not we have class spirit on this campus is irrelevant; but Univer sity of Nebraska students do not A feminine pioneer in the field of journalism. want a Junior-Senior Prom nor are they prepared to support one. I cannot understand why our class boards and class officers persist that they need to- stir un class spirit.

I realize that this class spirit could possibly be a real thing. nut I cannot see where a Jun ior-Senior Prom or a spring prom has anything to do with this spirit. And I fail to see how forcing a prom on the students or forcing the idea of class spirit on stu dents can succeed. I may attend the prom, if it Is held, but I will not sign the old list of underwriters. mmmmmmmtmmmmmmmmmmntK Shop Doily 9:30 to 5:30, Thursdays 10 to 8&1 j '4.-1 to have dates.
