continuously and was former sec.
retary of foreign affairs and am
bassador to the United States.
Having a varied career as pub
lisher, editor, University profes
sor, author, playwright and United
States Army officer, he has trav
eled extensively in Asia.
In 1941 Gen. Romulo won a Pulit
zer Prize for his news stories on
Japanese aims in the Orient.
In San Francisco in 1945, Gen.
Romulo was present when the
charter for the United Nations or
ganization was drawn up.
He thought each meeting of the
General Assembly should have a
reverent moment of prayer before
staring its business. Several ob
jections arose so the final decision
was for "a minute of silence" be
fore the meetings.
Gen. Romulo was elected presi
dent of the Fourth General As
sembly in 1949 and helped make
the moment of silence more signif
icant with these words: "Let us
pray to Almighty God to give us
courage and the vision to face our
awesome responsibility."
He served as Gen. Douelas Mac-
Arthur's aide-de-camp on Batan,
Corregidor and Australia during
World War II. Staying until all
the forces had left Batan, he was
the last one to depart. He accom
panied General MacArthur and the
liberating forces in the invasion
of Leyte and in the recapture of
Manila. .
Gen. Romulo himself is an ex
ample of his thesis that the Fili
pino is the composite of the Orient,
the product of three influences:
the basic Malayan, Spanish, and
American. His extensive knowl
edge of existing conditions in Asia
will prove of value to all Univer
sity students.

Cabinet Makes TV Debut
The first nationally televised and broadcast cabinet meeting in
history heard Secretary of State John Foster Dulles report on the
West European defense agreement Monday.
President Eisenhower dramatized the importance of the agreement
by arranging for the televised meeting. He went to the airport to greet
Dulles who spoke of "a new era in Europe." It was the first time
Eisenhower had turned up at the airport to greet a returning cabinet
official.
Dulles expressed an optimistic feeling for the beginning of a "new
era" in a short speech at the airport. He then gave Eisenhower a
typewritten document of some 40-50 pages presumed to be a confi
dential report of the meeting.
K. Of C. Action Condemned
A brother of the late Msgr. Edward J. Flanagan, founder of famed
Boys Town, has asked that Father Flanagan's name no longer be
used to identify a Knights of Columbus Council which refused the
entry of three Negroes.
The request was in a letter from Msgr. Patrick A. Flanagan to
John F. Krecji, a grand knight of the Father Flanagan of Boys Town
Council of the Knights of Columbus.
Three Negroes were rejected when their application to join the
council was voted down five to seven by the Council's 2000 mem
bers. National K. of C. rules say four "no" votes are enough.
Nebraska Population Up
Nebraska's population gain sirice 1950 has been four times that of
the previous ten years. The population reached 1,350,000 by last July 1,
a gain of some 36,000 since the last official census in 1950:
While the increase was nearly four times the growth the state had
in the decade from 1940-1950, it still was only half the average growth
enjoyed by the nation as a whole.
The national gain was 6.3 per cent from 149,643,000 in 1950 to
162,414,000 at the present time. Only three of the 48 states had a
iecrease in population during this time. Nevada, with a 33.1 percent
increase, led all states in percentage of gain.
Psychiatrist Says McClelland 'Sane'
Dr. F. L. Spradling, superintendent of the Nebraska State Hospital,
testified Monday that Charles Edward McClelland, prison inmate on
trial for murder, "has been sane at all times in his life."
McClelland, on trial for the first degree murder of a prison guard,
has pleaded not guilty bp reason of insanity after signing a confession
of the crime.
Dr. Spradling, a psychiatrist, said that, in his opinion, McClellarsd
had not be;n temporarily insane on April 16, the date of the murder.
He said as near as he could determine the defendant knew right from
wrong and knew the "nature and quality of his acts."

To Relate
Stale History
Ellsworth DuTeau, past president
of the Alumni Association and Lin

the "Hello Hardins" dinner in tht
Union Sunday evening.
DuTeau, said
that he would
talk on the
story of Ne

be of interest
to stu d e n t s,
faculty and the

since many of
Courtew Sunday
Journal and Star
the facts he will disclose are un
known to native Nebraskans.
"Every creed, every nation
and every state has its story,"
DuTeau said, "and I believe Ne
braska has a story. -The story
of the University is one of which
every citizen, student and alum
nus C2.1 be proud. The story
shoi'ld make students proud to
be students and proud of their
degrees."
Tom Woodward, Nebraskan edi
tor, said, in connection with the
selection of Duteau, "I think we
are more than fortunate to. have
Ellsworth DuTeau as the speaker
for the dinner. I have beard him
speak before student audiences
twice before and believe the
spirit and interest he shows in
the University has done much to
change even the most lackadaisi
cal attitude."
"He seems to know more about
this school's history and out
standing accomplishments than
anyone I've heard," Woodward
said.
DuTeau was graduated from
the University in 1927. He was a
member of Innocents Society, Phi
