Communist Forces Nearly Whipped Compiled by John Barton From the wires of Associated Press South Korean forces are driving forward near the Yalu River today. That’s the border between Korea and Manchuria. Com munist resistance is described as being practically non-existant. It looks like the end of the four-month-old Korean war between Democracy and Communism. South Korean President Syngman Rhee says his government’s army can handle any Communist guerrilla activity which may arise from Red remnanats which have been cut off without re treat. No Elections for Korea... ... are advocated by Rhee, who says now that the war is over, there is no need for the United Nations to take over until elections are held. But he hinted he might want to hold elections later. Rhee doesn’t agree with the U. N. on this point. The U. N. tentative plan is to take control of the country, then hold elections and set the entire nation up under con trol of whatever government is elected by the people. Pyongyang is Being Run. .. ■ • • hy a governing committee of 12 North Koreans picked from the streets and installed in office yesterday. They’re under control of the U. N. military authority. Col. Archibald W. Melchoir of Carmel, Calif.,' is the head man in Pyongyang,now. He said he picked the 12 men to run the city from honest and respectable looking men on the street. Trimah is Under Fire... . . . from Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky today. Vishin sky says the President’s foreign policy is based on force and the same “guns before butter” formula which Hitler followed. He referred, of course, to President Truman’s recent San Francisco speech in which the chief executive said we must sacrifice some of the things in our high living standard to keep peace in the world—including the United States . More aggressive designs are on the way, Vishinsky says. A New Secretary General... .. . for the U. N. has yet to be named. The five big powers failed yes terday to come to an agreement on filling the post which will be vacated by Trygve Lie next February. Russia has vetoed the renomination of Lie, which is favored by the United States. No Change in Soviet Policy. . . .. . will be made, says the Russian newspaper Pravda, voice of authori ty of Communism. For the past few days Fravda has announced this. The paper says that the U. S., not Russia, must change her policy. Presi dent Truman said last week that Russia must change her foreign policy to promote world peace. French Support of Germany... ... in the latter’s plea for rearming its western half may appear. But France, fearful of her army for hundreds of years, wants to be “con structive ’ about it. One French source said the government agrees to the principle of rearming Western Germany, but they want to be sure there is no new German army to sweep across the Rhine. Still Missing... ... is Dr. Bruno Pontecorvo, Italian atom bomb scientist who was working in England. The scientist, said to be well informed on princi ples of the hydrogen bomb, is thought to have skipped to Russia last month, but there is no conformation of this. president Truman's U. N. Speech. • • • will be heard on the Pacific coast at 8:30 a.m. today. He’s address ing the U. N. general assembly. Informed sources say it will be a major declaration of foreign policy, perhaps an expansion of his San Francisco address of last week. The Supreme Court Will Hear Red... ... leaders of the U. S. appeal their conviction on conspiracy charges. The court agreed yesterday to hear the case. Arguments of the govern ment prosecution and defense attorneys will be heard Dec. 4. Top Alien Communists. . . ... in the U. S. are being rounded up by the Justice department. Ten of them have already been picked up. They are described as the “most im portant” of about 86 persons scheduled to be under lock-up before long. Two Seattle men were arrested yesterday by immigration officials as part of the nation-wide cleaning program. All these people may be de ported. A Red Control Board... .. . has been set up by President Truman. Five members make up the board, designed to keep a check on Communists in this country. John F. Maragon... . . . the former shoe-shine boy who was convicted of perjuring himself to a Senate investigating committee, has been refused a reversal of sen tence by the U. S. court of appeals. The court upheld the sentence. Mara gon was a man-about-town in Washington, with considerable “influ ence” in government circles. ^urvivors of the Wrecked. . . =. . ship North Voyabeur have been picked up by the coast guard. First reports say about eight persons have been found so far. The ship vanished in a storm off Newfoundland Sunday. Survivors were in a life boat. Planes and ships are continuing the search. Inquiring Reporter Students Favor Wednesday Coke Dances „ By Larry Hobart Coke dances could be a success on the University of Oregon cam pus. That was the prevailing opinion expressed by students polled on the question, “What do you think about the proposed Wednesday evening coke dance program, and would you attend the dances if they were instituted?’’ The coke dance plan, which was presented at last week’s regular Student Union Board meeting, calls for a coke dance from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. on open Wednesdays. The dances would take place in the soda bar area of the SU with chairs and tables being pushed back to make the necessary room. Square dancing, conventional dancing and special entertainment would occupy attention. The general attitude of students questioned today was favorable toward the dance program. The plan is now being considered by the Student Affairs Committee. Joan Blakely—sophomore in lib eral arts—“I would come to a Wed nesday evening dance. It would help people to become acquainted, especially freshman. No square dancing though.” Howard Stinkard—freshman in journalism—“I think its a good d4al. I’d come—provided they let the freshmen women out.” Iceland Johnson—junior in busi ness administration—“Excellent idea! I’d like to come. It will work if a lot of girls attend, because the boys will naturally be there.” Miriam Goddard—freshman in liberal arts—“I think that it would be a very good idea. You need a break during the week from your studies. I’d certainly come.” Marian Payne—sophomore in liberal arts—“Probably I’d come. I think that it’s a real good idea. It would help people' to get ac quainted.” George Waliscr;—senior in law— “I think they’re a good idea. The dances would help break up the monotony of school life. It would be one way of getting kids into the SU. I think that I’d come to the dances.” Don Robinson—freshman in lib eral arts—“I think the program is v/orth a try. I’d attend the dances if they proved successful in overcoming the natural inhibi tions that people seem to have at dances.” Pauline Olson—sophomore in music—“Sure, I’d come. At Whit man we had a coke dance every Tuesday and it went over big. Every once in awhile we had spe cial entertainment which boosted the attendance.” Dick Hanson—junior in social psychology—“I think it would work if we broke away from the distorted attitude that if a girl shows up at a mixer dance with out a date, it’s because she can’t get one. I would enjoy going to such a dance very much if the girls were willing to risk their ego.” Jane Hande—freshman in lib eral arts—“Smooth! I think that it would be great. People would leave the dorm and I could study.” Infirmary Admits Eight students spent the week end in the infirmary. These are Norma Allen, Carol Broeren, Rob ert Cox, James Hart, Dan Dan iels, Grant McClellan, Maurice Petriek, and Inez Pozzi-Escot.
