U.S. Ready to Halt Soviet Aggression Compiled by Merle Mass From the wires of Associated Press President Truman Tuesday night told this country that the United States is ready to fight Russia anywhere in the world to put down aggression and preserve “our free way of life.” The president pledged this country’s growing military might to support the peoples of all Asia to help "attain and defend their independence.” In an address broad enough to cover an.offer of troops to India, Nationalist China, Indochina or any other coun try under danger of Communist attack, Mr. Truman bluntly warned Russia: “We want peace. But it must be a peace founded on justice.” Speaking in San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House, and fresh from his dramatic Wake Island conference with Gen. Doug las McArthur, Mr. Truman declared he was confident “in our long-range ability to maintain world peace.” The president said if the Russians really want peace they must follow our steps. By living up to the principles of the UN char ter; by joining the rest of the UN in asking North Korea to lay down its arms; by lifting the Iron Curtain and permitting the free exchange of information; and by joining the efforts of the UN in getting a workable system of collective security. American and South Korean... ft. . columns have slashed within 12 miles of Pyongyang, just over a month after the surprise landing at Inchon. According to reports the U. S. First Calvary and the Republic of Korea (ROK) First Divisions were racing each other for the Red capital. Each wanted to be first to level the knockout blow. Meanwhile, South Korean forces are having the toughest fight north ward, as they are in mountain country. Most of the other UN troops are on flat terrain. Organized Red resistance was all but shattered. Communists surren dered in the hundreds while retreating forces left behind huge stockpiles of war equipment. Military sources in Tokyo say the fall of Pyongyang almost certainly will end the Korean war except for mopup operations against guerrilla forces. The Kremlin Foreign Policy... . . . seemed to make a quick reversal Tuesday. Soviet Foreign. Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky demanded Russian representation on an American backed peace patrol system to check on the world’s trouble spots. No agreement was reached but U. S. Delegate John Foster Dulled said he preferred that smaller nations should make up the patrols. He did add that the plan’s sponsors would be glad to reconsider their original view if the Soviet Union intends to ‘'adopt a positive attitude.” Two U. S. Minesweepers... ... have been sunk in Korean waters. One crew man has been reported dead, and 12 are missing. Previous sinkings have taken a toll of one mine sweeper and damaged two destroyers. Total casualty list for the five mine instances include 12 dead, 36 missing and 17 injured. Another ship in trouble today is the “Flying Cloud,” one of a number of Isbrandtsen Line ships which were attacked by Chinese Nationalists late last year. A crew member testified onday that the ship delivered radio tubes, steel plates, steel wire, and other materials to a Communist China port after a run from Japan. The testimony given to a Senate Commerce subcommittee by, Calvin F. Bonawitz of Reading, Pa., who said he was the assistant electrician aboard the ship. Pictures taken by the electrician have been turned over to Army Intelligence. Greek Troops... . . . 5,000 in number will be ready to leave November 5, for United Nations service in Korea. Greek Ambassador Athanase G. Politis who made the announcement said discussions are now being carried on with the UN and Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters to decide their role. ®hese are all mountain troops with experience in Northern Greece and should be specially suitable for service in Korea,” Politis said. Secretary of State Acheson... . . . has no intention of resigning according to a statement made by Press Officer Michael J. McDermott in Washington, D. C. McDermott made the comment in. response to a prediction Monday by Senator Mag nuson (D-Wash.) that Acheson would resign by the end of the year. Mag nuson said Averell Harriman, presidential foreign policy adviser would get Acheson’s place. The Senate Crime Committee... . . . will go “very thoroughly” into the horse race information network including “all its ramifications.” Chairman Kefauver said that it would be the important part of the inquiry because the network is the national link in gambling. Kefauver reported the committee will question Tom Kelly, General Manager of the Continental Press Service today. Continental is the hub of the wire system that distributes horse rape information across the country. • Color Television... . . . came under legal attack Tuesday in regard to the decision which authorized the color method of the Columbia Broadcasting System Oc tober 12. The first suit was filed in Federal District Court in Brooklyn by Pilot Radio Corp. This is the first of several such suits that had been prom ised. Shortly afterward, Radio Corp. of America filed in Chicago, declar ing that enforcement of the color decision would cause “irreparable in jury” to the public, manufacturers and broadcasters. The main argument seems to stem from the fact that the incompati bil^y of the present color system cannot be adapted to present sets in homes unless additional equipment is bought by the public. Recommended Tax Levy Would Help Alleviate Eugene Traffic Problem Future Oregon students may have fewer cars to dodge on 13th Ave. if the proposed special street tax is passed by Eugene voters Nov. 7. Eugene’s City Council last week adopted the report of a special committee of the Planning Com mission outlining a program which would alleviate traffic congestion throughout the city by providing adequate cross-town streets. Special Tax The recommended arterial de velopment depends on the propos ed special tax of 2% mills in each of the next 10 years. If Eugene voters, including University stu dents registered here, approve this tax Nov. 7, the arterials will be developed according to four pri orty groups assigned in the special committee’s report. East 11th Ave. from Willamette to Kincaid would be made a 56 foot thoroughfare and 18th Ave. from Pearl to Agate would be opened, thus materially reducing traffic on 13th, Special Committee Chair man John J. McGinty explained. Fraternities Affected At present 11th is 42 feet wide, while 18th varies from 34 to 42. Fraternities located on 11th would be directly affected by the widen ing. “The set-back would actually benefit the houses by providing parallel street parking space, whereas they now must use the parking strip or even the side walks,” McGinty pointed out. The project for 11th Ave. would have second priority in the arter Foreign Students Get Scholarships Five foreign students attending, the University have been awarded scholarships by the Co-op. Winners of the scholarships are Finn Saglid, Peter Stenson, Pieter Streefkerk, Maurice Morello, and Yoshiko Seki. The students were selected by J. D. Kline, assistant registrar, and G. L. Henson, man ager of the Co-op. Student mem bers of the Co-op Board also as sisted in the choice. Scholarships consist of $30 worth of books and supplies this term for each student. During winter and spring terms, the amount will be $15 for each stu dent per term. Last year Co-op scholarships for foreign students were so worth while and appreciated that it was decided to award them annually, Kline said. Ticket Committee Has Openings Positions are open on the Home coming ticket committee, Dick Davis, chairman, reported Tues day. Petitions are due by 5 p.m. Fri day to Davis at Sigma Alpha Mu. Cheer up, dear ladies! During spring house cleaning you may find some things that have been missing since fail house cleaning. HAND DIPPED Chocolates & Fudge Made in Eugene SUGAR PLUM* 63 E. Broadway ial development program. Roads in this category would be opened and improved early in the con struction program. East 11th, serving as a prim ary means of access to the down town area from the east, is now an overtaxed street. It carries a large percentage of the load form erly carried by 13th and Hroad way, both of which have become secondary access streets due to the University and the re-rout ing of the Pacific Highway. Nineteenth Impractical The 18th Ave. arterial would have fourth priority as a road re quired to meet future growth. Nineteenth is now carrying heavy traffic, but was not designed as an arterial, and widening it would prove costly, the committee re port stated. Eighteenth would take over the cross-town function, and has the advantage of giving direct access to the west. These two projects are included in 21 separate arterial develop ments which the committee decid ed was necessary for immediate relief and future growth of Eu gene traffic. The entire program depends on the outcome of the vote on the special street tax. The special committee propos ing the plan was made up of three regular planning commission mem bers and three “citizen’s repre sentatives,” including C. L. Kelly, professor of business administra tion. Pen Friends Pine for Letters Like a letter from Japan? Students attending Waseda Uni versity in Tokyo, Japan, are very interested in corresponding with students here on the Oregon cam pus, according to a letter received by Ray Hawk, director of men’s affairs. The letter, requesting a list of students interested in such a pro ject, was written by Hilda Henke, librarian of an army information center in Tokyo. Hawk said that if those stu dents who are interested would leave their names with him, he would send the list to Japan so the Japanese students could be gin the correspondence. it age a CAMPUS CALENDAR Today: 12 noon—Pre-Nursing, 111 SU Gamma Alpha Chi, 113 SU Spanish table, Anchorage 2 p.m.—Mu Phi Epsilon tea, 213, 214, 215 SU 4 p.m.—SU Cultural Comm., Browsing Room, SU AWS Activity Board, 110 SU Whiskerino, 112 SU SU Music Comm., 114 SU 6:45 p.m.—Homecoming Hostess eliminations, 333-334 SU 7 p.m.—SU Board, 337 SU Movies, 207 Chapman 7:30 p.m.—Foreign Students re ception, second floor, South, SU Sigma Delta Chi, 315 SU Forum" series, Browsing Room 9 p.m.—Movies, 207 Chapman Teacher, Student Set Art Show Donald C.

Students at the American Institute for Foreign Trade can answer this question. They are preparing themselves for careers overseas with American business firms or govern* ment agencies. Under the guidance of distinguished men who have served abroad, they plan successful careers in foreign trade. The intensive course of study is designed for mature students doing upper-level college work. It is a dynamic new idea in education that teaches not only business techniques, fluency in foreign languages, but understanding of the world outside.
