that irradiated rats learn faster
and retain the knowledge longer
than common rats.
This effect was obtained from the
maze learning and retention pro

formed in a pathway to the food

normal and half were irradiated.
Hair Falls Out
The irradiation process exposes
only the rat's head to the x-rays,
by placing the animal's head in a
lead form called an exposure cyl

on the rat's head over this area to
fall out, and the rat becomes sick
for a week so that he does not eat
or drink much water.
About two weeks after the irradi

normal again and will be sold for

Assured Commissions
Army ROTC cadets who complete
their advanced ROTC traininz and
receive diplomas before April 30,

According to present plans, seven
Army ROTC cadets are expected
to receive commissions in Febru

Before the Department of Army
decision, cadets had received no
positive assurance that they would
receive commissions, Col. Diestel
said. It depended on the number
that the Army could absorb on
active duty, he explained.
February graduates will be or

30, and those graduating between
May 1, 1955, and April 30, 1956,

those individuals who have had
prior military service can qualify
for draft-deferred status, Col. Dies

Graduates will be permitted to

of entry to active duty within quota
limitations, Col. Diestel said.
"Last year some ROTC graduates
received commissions in branches

which they had been enrolled for
ROTC training," Col. Diestel stated.
Whether this will be necessary for
current graduates will not be
known until mid January 1955.
Although the Department of the

students now enrolled in advanced
Army ROTC who normally would

The establishment of a univer

development in the new East. Most
of the other universiites in the area
are patterned after European uni

The Navy's Character Building
Program, a program instituted at

The purpose of the program is
aimed at helping men to think

which involve moral issues rather
than telling them what to do.
Approval for this program has
been expressed by parents of boys
entering the service. Parents seem
more satisfied to know that the
Navy is helping to build the char

'No Deal' For Prisoners
The United SSates ruled out any "deal" with Red China to ex
change 35 Chinese civilian students in America for the 11 U.S airmen
imprisoned inside China. State Department Press Officer Lincoln White
told newsmen: "There will be no deal."
The comments came to questions about a Peiping broadcast which
alluded to the 11 airmen held as "spies" and said he United States
would be flouting international law if it held the 35 Chinese students
in retaliation for the jailing of the airmen, 'ine oroaacasi cameo me
broad hint that the Communists were trying to coax the U.S. into a
deal. . ,
White said the airmen and the Chinese students were in entirely
different categories. The airmen, shot down and captured two years
ago during the Korean War, are legally prisoners of war entitled to
full international rights as such, he said. The students are civilians
under study, he added.
Ike To Consult Democrats
President Eisenhower intends step-by-step consultation with con
gressional leaders of both parties on problems of foreign affairs,
national defense and mutual security, the White House said Monday,
alter a conference of Republican and Democratic leaders.
After the conference it was announced that the President will
deliver his State of the Union message to Congress, in person, on
January 6 the day after the new 84th and Democratic-controlled Con
gress convenes.
In advance of the meeting. Sen. Russell (D-Ga) said he will oppose
any administration program of dollar economic aid for Asia "or any
where else." Russell is in line to become chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee when the Democrats take over control of
Congress next month.
Shah Visits Washington
The Shah of Iran called on Western nations to "lend a helping
hand" to assure political stability and economic recovery in his oil
rich homeland. The Shah made the appeal in an address prepared
lor a lunch given by capital newsmen and photographers.
"Iran is of such importance to the general role of covilization and
global strategy," he said, "that her physical strength must not become
flaccid lor want of timely help."
The Shah arrived in Washington for a three-day visit. After leav
ing the capital, he will fly to San Francisco and later will visit Sun
Valley, Idaho, and Florida. He expects to return Feb. 3 to New York
City where he Lgan his visit
The Shah said Iran's dispute with Britain over nationalization of
the nation's oil industry resulted from efforts of "subversive elements
. . . to establish chaos and mob rule." He said the plot failed and Iran
is now making steady progress toward modernization.
Labor Merger Predicted
David J. McDonald, head of CIO United Steel workers predicts that
in 1955 members of CIO and AFL will merge in a "New United Labor
Union."
He said: "We can work all our problems out, every single one of
them, as men of good will, as men believing in one another, as men
believing in the fundamentals of American trade unions." .
The steel union head also said Uat his hope of an early merger

important of which is that the people want labor unity."

market," Rencki brought out.
Rencki commented on the Eur
opean concept of American domes
tic policies. "The average man in
the street knows America by two
men President Eisenhower and
Sen. Joe McCarthy," he brought
out.
"Overwhelmingly Europeans art
opposed to McCarthy," Rencki said,
"not because of his anti-communist
measures, but because of the
way he applies his measures."
Europeans would not favor an
American blockade of China,
Rencki said, because the risks of
European occupation are greater.
They do not believe a blockade
would produce the results the
Americans seek, anyway, he added.
"I was amazed to see American
students so interested in general
international affairs," Rencki said,
"but they do not know enough
about European unity."
Members of the European Move
ment suffered a major defeat when
the French Parliament voted down
the European Defense Community,
the Polish-bora internationalist said
"When the West substituted the
Western European Union for EDC,
the integration of a supranational
system was replaced by a military
alliance of states which retain their
sovereignty," Rencki said. The
European Movement had hoped to
establish a unified Europe with a
federal government patterned aft
er that of the United States.
