Red China's Peace Plan Gets Boost Compiled by A1 Karr From the Wires of the Associated Press Communist China’s revised peace formula for Korea appeared Tuesday to have given added impetus to the Asian-Arab move to continue United Nations efforts toward a cease-fire. Most delegates still were awaiting instructions from their gov ernments, but there was a strong private sentiment in favor of exhausting all possible avenues before adopting the United States proposal to brand the Peiping regime as an aggressor. Although the U. S. claims a substantial majority in favor of its pro posal, there has been an obvious tendency among some delegations to avoid tagging Peiping as an aggressor except as the last resort. Peip ing's “clarification” message may, therefore, cause them to back a new peace move. Resolutions Declaring That The U. N. Should... ... (1) brand Communist China an aggressor in China, and (2) deny Red China membership in the United Nations were adopted Tuesday by the Senate. Both resolutions were adopted unanimously. The House similarly ap proved a resolution last week declaring that the U. N. should brand the Chinese Communists as aggressors in Korea. Prime Minister Attlee Admonished... . . . the United Nations Tuesday not to make new and important deci sions on Korea “at this stage,” and Britain’s House of Commons cheered. A moment later Conservative leader Winston Churchill warned' the jyition not to fall into “any serious division in the U. N. brought about b^maneuvers which are obviously to the interest of Soviet Russia.” Attlee’s advice against a new U. N. decision now, obviously referred to American demands that the world organization brand the Chinese Communist government as an aggressor. Chinese Communists Are Sending... . . . greater number of planes into the air over Korea because they “have been hurt on the ground”, the air force speculated Tuesday. That was an air force spokesman’s explanation for the big turnout of 18 to 28 Russian-built jet planes which clashed with American fighters in the biggest jet battle of the Korean war. Briefing officers said that the Red air force has had planes across the border in Manchuria for a long time, but even when the United Nations forces were retreating southward and convoys were moving “bumper to bumper,” the Red's made no serious effort to attack from the air. The Administration Won A Round... . ’. . Tuesday when the Senate agreed to send the troops-to-Europe is sue to its Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees. The action came on a move by Senator Connally (Dem.-Tex.) putting off a vote on a resolution by Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the GOP floor leader. The resolution would record the Senate as opposed to Presi dent Truman making any committments of ground forces to the Atlantic Pact defense setup until Congress passes on the issue. Weekend Explosions in New Guinea's... . . . “extent” Mt. Lamington Volcano-probably killed more than 3,000 native New Guineans, reports reaching Australian government officials Tuesday night said. The External Territories Department in Canberra held no hope for the survival of 35 missing Europeans in the area visited by the century’s worst disaster in that section of the globe. Routing Communists... . . . will be the “first order of business in the labor’s defense program,” CIO Vice-President Allan S. Haywood said. “We’ll give them a fair trial,” he told the 15th biennial convention of the CIO Shipbuilding workers Monday, “but damn their souls if we find them guilty.” “We’ll keep banishing the termites until we are 1,000 per cent success ful,” he said. Haywood, who doubles as the CIO’s national organizing director, also told the convention that “the United States should build fast ships,” adding that “her potential enemy is building fast submarines and speedy planes.” New Rifles, Tanks, Bazookas... . . . rockets, guided missiles, and other weapons are coming for the U. S. soldier, Brigadier General Leslie E. Simon said Tuesday. General Simon, chief or the army ordnance research and development division, declared that the American fighting man already is “by all odds the best armed and best equipped soldier the world has ever seen.” U. S. Troops Under General MacArthur... . . . need 15,000 replacements a month and it will be April before his divisions are built up to “normal strength”, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall said Tuesday. Marshall testified at hearings by the House Armed Service Committee on the defense department’s request for universal military service and training for 18 year olds. The department also asks that the length of service by drafted men be extended from 21 months to 27. It was Marshall’s second trip to the capitol to urge universal military training and service. He already has urged it to the Senate preparedness subcommittee. Canada Is Shipping Aluminum... . . . now in short supply, “almost continuously to Russian satellite countries,” an American manufacturer told a Congressional investi gating committee Tuesday. Richard Reynolds, Jr., president of the Reynolds Metals Co., made the assertion before the House Monopoly Committee. The committee is holding hearings on defense plans to expand aluminum, production to meet U. S. military and civilian needs. William W. Remington Said... ... on the witness stand Tuesday that he “must have” received mail in 1937 at a Knoxville, Tenn., postoffice box which the government con tends was used by Communist party members only, A defense witness has testified, however, that the box was used by a “workers education committee.” CAMPUS CALENDAR 9:80 a.m.—RK Week Coffee Hfour, 110 SU 12 noon*—SU Art Comm., 110 SU Journalism School, 112 SU 12:8© p.m—Phi Theta Upsilon, 315 SU 1 p.m.—BE Week Conferences, 110*-m-llS SU 3:30 p.m.—RE Week Philoso phy Forum, Dad’s Lounge SU 4 p.m.—Foreign Students, 110 111 SU IVCF— Dr. Orr, 333-334 SU 4:30 p.m.—RE ' Week Lecture, SU Board, 337 SU Ballroom SU 6:30 p.m.—Married Couples group, Westminster House 7 p.m.—Skull and Dagger, 110 SU 7:30 p.m.—Lecture-Forum Ser ies, Br.

Orr Calls for Revival Of Christian Students By Larry Hobart Revival of Christian students at the University of Oregon was call ed for Monday by J. Edwin Orr, evangelist and world traveler, who spoke before a small group of in terested listeners in room 334 of the SU. Tiny, tweedy Dr. Orr expressed the opinion that a renewal of ac tive faith among students on the Oregon campus is possible and cited examples of many universi ties and colleges where such mass conversions have taken place. “Students are a race apart,” Orr said. “Sometimes they do not take themselves seriously; other times they take themselves too seriously.” Orr presented John Wes ley and Martin Luther, out-stand ing religious leaders who entered the field of theology as young stu dents, as examples which contem porary university men and women might attempt to follow. Calls for Spiritual Awakening In a voice slightly tinged with an accent which disclosed his Irish ancestry, Orr stated that we are now witnessing the rise of a new evanglical period. He called upon his listeners for a “spiritual awak ening.” During his address Orr likened the struggle between historic Christianity and humanism in the minds of many modern philosoph ers as similar to a man standing with his feet planted on the back of two wild horses. Orr brought this illustration forcibly home to his audience by mounting two chairs and demonstrating his metaphor in pantomime. Serves As Hollywood Chaplain Orr, who serves as chaplain for a group of religion-interested Hollywood stars including Colleem Townsend and Jane Russell, Tues day spoke on the subject, “How God Forgives the Sins of Christ ians,” at 4 p.m. in 334 SU.
