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.

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.”
