"We must recognize the fact that the Chinese Communists have conquered China, that they are not going to be driven out ot there or anyplace else where they now exist as rulers. We must WILLIAM SHIRER Delinquency Discussion Scheduled Robert D. Clark, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts, will be moderator at a forum tonight on the topic, "Should Parents Be Responsible for the Delinquencies of Their Children?” Jack R. Parsons, professor of sociology, will be one of four speakers on the forum, which starts at 8 p.m. at the Congrega tional Church. Parsons will speak on "Social Worker's Evaluation of the Eu gene Ordinance.” Eugene recently passed an ordi nance that would hold parents re sponsible for delinquent acts of their children. The ordinance has received widespread criticism from social workers and others in the Eugene area. The forum is a session of the Eugene YMCA “Little Town Hall.” Other speakers on the program are Keith Jones, chief of police, Lewis Sherman, chief juvenile offi cer for Lane County, and Stanley R. Darling, attorney. A question and answer period will follow the speeches. March of Dimes' Dance Scheduled After Oregon-Washington Contest A benefit dance for the March of Dimes campaign will be held Friday night at Willamette Parle immediately following the Oregon Washington basketball game. Johnny Lusk and his band will furnish music for the evening. Campus clothes will be in order. Tickets, priced at $1 a person, may be obtained today and Friday in the Co-op and through represen tatives in men’s living organiza tions. All profits from the dance will go into the Eugene March of Dimes campaign fund. Records Offered An album of records will be giv en to the living organization buy ing the most tickets, according to the number of men in the house, Kay Kuckenberg, campus drive co chairman reported Wednesday. Campus talent will be featured during the dance intermission. In charge of entertainment is Fred Young, University talent commit tee chairman. “Since it will be Dads’ Day week end, why not bring the dads out to the ‘Park’ too,” Miss Kucken berg suggested. She urges as many students as possible to support the March of Dimes fund by attend ing. Jaycees to Sponsor Official sponsor of the dance is the Eugene Junior Chamber of Commerce. A Chamber of Com merce committee, under the direc tion of Chairman Marshall Glos, salesman for Parmenter Pontiac, is directing the Eugene drive. The Willamette Park dance will imitate the March of Dimes bene fit dance given each year in Wash ington, D.C., on Franklin D. Roose velt's birthday, Miss Kuckenbcrg stated. University students have been active throughout this week and last week collecting dimes for the drive. Each night during dinner, flying speeches, “blind men," wom en's trios, and other skits have been entertaining residents of campus living organizations. also realize,” Shircr continuecf, that Germany is once more a hot bed of rabid Pan-German, nationalism, and Nazism is once more on the march.” Policy Shaken Shircr further declared that the whole structure of Ameri can foreign policy has been rudely shaken in this last year by threo significant events: 1. The collapse of Nationalist China and the succeeding rise of Communism in that country. 2. The collapse, or near-collapso of "our friends abroad, particu larly those in the sterling block.” 3. The development of the Rus sian atomic bomb. Shirer envisions no real reasons for hopefulness in attempting to bolster Chiang's sagging Nation alists. He supported the decision of the United States State Depart ment in refusing further aid to the Nationalists, declaring that "aid given to Chiang when he controlled most of the Chinese mainland proved useless. There is no reason for supposing that further aid now that the Nationalists are entrench ed on the island of Formosa will bo any more useful.” Bad Leadership Shirer denied that America is to blame for the Chinese debacle. Ho said that "the world’s worst lead ership, leading to a complete losa of will to fight, combined with disasterous corruption in the armed forces led to the Chinese Nationalist defeats. “The loss of China," Mr. Shirer continued, "cannot be minimized. It now means a Communist Em pire stretching from the Elbe to the Pacific.” Shirer deplored the situation now existing in Germany. He brief ly reviewed the occupation of that country and stated that with all the money, time and energy poured into the recovery and rehabilita tion of Germany, "the German people remain fundamentally un changed. They are merely waiting for another Hitler. They are utter ly contemptuous of democracy, re gretting not that they fought tho war, but that they lost the war.” Nazis Take Over They still believe, Shirer contin ued, that Nazism is a good thing, but that under Hitler it was just badly carried out. Since the war’s end, the Nazis have completely taken over all the lower posts in both eastern and western Ger many, Shirer said. Shirer could give little hope for an immediate reconciliation of the world situation. He cited the Tito revolt in Yugoslavia as one of the more pleasant aspects in the world, pointing out that not since 1917 have the Russians been so wor ried over the fate of their Commu nist organization. He went on to declare that the losses suffered by Communism in western Europe will not be regained by Russia. Both Italy and France, said Shirer, owe much of their present condi tion as far as governmental poli (Please turn to page seven)
