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.

Great Thing
For Others

“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.”
