World Speculates On World War III Compiled by John Barton From the Wires of Associated Press While the world waits and speculates today about the possi bility of a third world war, Allied forces in Korea are solidifying their lines against Communist—mostly Red Chinese—onslaughts from the north. At one point, United States forces are still about 30 miles from the Manchurian border. But across that border are pouring thous ands of Communist-backed men and tons of war equipment—de signed to press against the United Nations forces. A Giant Red Trap... ... which might have incircled U. N. forces has been escaped In Korea, according to General MacArthur. And now the U. N. lines are getting harder by the hour. Clearing weather has made possible use of the pow erful U. N. air arm. But winter is coming closer, and in the north-east zone—only place where U. N. troops are advancing—the U. S. 17th divi sion is moving northward through snow and near-zeco temperatures. "An Offensive Act ... of international lawlessness” is General Mac Arthur’s label for the movement of Chinese Reds into the Korean conflict. MacArthur says that the North Korean army was crushed. He says that the war was practically over before the entrance into it of “alien Communist forces” from Manchuria started it flaming anew. The U. N. commander didn’t say that Communist Chinese are fighting on the Korean front in that many words, but he strongly intimated the same in his official statement yesterday. He said the stealthy move was done without any notice of beligerency. and the result was almost a trap for the U. N. The United Nations Security... . . . council may hear MacArthur’s statement today, if U. S. Delegate Warren Austin is instructed to read it when that body meets at 2 p.m. in New York. Spokesmen for Austin said last night that he didn’t plan then to present the statement about Red China today, but that he may do it. Red China is Preparing. .. ... for all out war, if you can believe jumbled and strictly unconfirmed reports coming out of free Chinese ports. From Hong Kong comes the word that marital law has been established in most major northern Chi nese and Manchurian cities. And the rumors also say the main north south Chinese railway has been closed to civilian traffic—just being used for movement of military supplies and personnel. Official Chinese statements say air raid shelters are being built in Mukden. The Reds say “something will happen” there before long. And Communist propaganda organs are coming out with saber-rattling stories to the effect that Red China is morally obligated to go into the Korean war,, because the United States is getting ready to sweep across China like a destroying cloud. “Self defense” the coolies are being told. Chinese Now in Korea. . . .. . may amount to about 320,000 men, according to Nationalist sour ces in Formosa. These troops form nine Red armies—six in Korea and three on the Manchurian border poised for action. United States Action. . . .. - Connected with the possibility of another world war touched off by Chinese intervention in the Korean war will be guided by a number of things. For one thing, the U1 S. does NOT want another war. We’d have tc pay for it if it came. The U. S. will leave no possibility unexplored to preve'nt a spreading of the Korean war. And the U. S. wants to end the present war just as soon, as possible. The TJ. S. will do something—and soon. All reports point to that. Other U. N. democracies will probably follow. The general assembly can take over in case of a security council veto now. Manchurian Industries May. . . ... be bombed if the Chinese intervention continues. The U. S. is con sidering, according to a report from Washington, telling the Red China government that power plants on the North Korea-Manchuria border will he destroyed if more troops are sent against U. N. forces in Korea. The “word” to this effect will probably be given through the United Nations, if it is given. • . Tibet#s Boy Lama Has Not. . . ... been captured by invading (“liberating”) Chinese Communists, ac cording to a report from the Tibet capital by India’s representative there. The 16-year-old" ruler and his elderly regent are in the capital directing the war effort, says the Indian. And the statement said nothing about any plans for the Lama pulling out of Lhasa, the capital, despite advancing Red columns. French Forces Are. . . .. . Continuing to withdraw in Indo China. No major changes have de veloped in the picture there, except that the Communist-led Vietminh forceg^have decidedly not stopped fighting, as some reports last week hinted. Inquiring Reporter Enforcement Great Thing For Others By Larry Hobart “As long as it doesn’t happen to me, I think they’re swell.” Thus students questioned expressed their opinion concern ing the punishments inflicted by Order of the “O” on violators for the breaking of Homecoming tradi tions. With mixed feeling of fear and amusement the students viewed the problem of dunking and hack ing through cautious eyes. Faced with a possible damp chemise or a pair of tingling jeans, the conclu sion was that the best policy is to follow the rules. Marion Olsen—junior in educa tion—“I don’t see why they couldn’t have a less severe punish ment. The Fenton pool is so hard on your Toni.” Don Dowie—graduate student in geography—“Too few people get to enjoy the punishments now. A public dunking ceremony at the Homecoming game would add in terest. The punishments are too far removed from the center of homecoming activities. They’re a good idea, though.” Dewanda Hamilton—freshman in education—“It’s kind of hard on clothes, but I guess the only solu tion is to obey the rules.” Helen Jones—sophomore in libe ral arts—“The punishments add more color to Homecoming Week end.” Alan Greene,—senior in architec ture—“They’re all right, but they might be a little more ingenious. They ought to get the violators at the Homecoming game and make them do something novel and clev er.” Lucille Wright—senior in jour nalism—“If punishments aren’t in flicted, no one would follow the traditions. I think it’s rather amus ing to see other girls dunked. June Winter—junior in art edu cation—“I am all for the punish ments. They are a part of the Homecoming traditions and should be carried out.” Bill Kirby—sophomore in pre med—"Terrific idea! They should enforce the rules more and dunk more girls.” Boland Sunderland—-junior in business administration—“I think that the dunking is just a little too extreme. They should throw the girls in, not push them in head first. The punishments are severe for the people who get caught, but a lot of people get away with it, which isn’t too fair.” Diane Duffy—freshman in psy chology—“I don’t think dunking is quite the thing for the gals. The very thought turns me cold, otherwise they’re fine.” Frank Tilly—freshman in busi ness administration—“They’re OK as far as they go, but too many people get by without being punish ed. The punishments here are mild compared to the things that go on at the eastern schools near my home in New Jersey.” Yevtich Directs Memorial Union Program Slate “Experience led me to this job!” laughed Olga Yevtich, small, viva cious program director of the Stu dent Union. Oregon graduate of the Class of 1949 and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Olga grew up with Oregon activities during college days. The impressive list of her activ ities includes Oregana business manager for two years, editor of the Pigger’s Guide and Ore-nter, and senior representative to the ASUO Executive Council. Member of Honorarles She was also a member of Phi Theta Upsilon, junior women’s honorary, Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary, and Alpha Xi Delta, social sorority. In addition she worked in the office of educational activities dur ing her undergraduate days. As program director of the Un ion, Olga works with students on the SU Board, Directorate, and standing committees in formulating the program for the SU. This in cludes the use of the ballroom and cultural areas, and directing all campus dances. Handles Trust Fund Olga also handles trust fund ac counts for 41 campus organizations that use the SU as a bank. Acting as secretary for the Student-Fac ulty Assembly Committee and Fac ulty Lectures Committee is another of her duties, as well as working with T. McKenzie Alexander, pres ident of the Civic Music Associ ation, in the Greater Artists Series. The most important job now, she believes, is initiating the building to student use. “We want the students to make it theirs,” she said. “A study of student interests will determine largely the types of activities to be sponsored in the Union.” Daih/ EMERALD NIGHT STAFF Night Editor—Dick Thompson Night Staff—Betty Lou Russell, Lillian Schott, Jim Haycox, Kath leen Stryker.
