The Korean battle front flamed ...
... once again an the United Nations troops drove northward, but
major action was reported on the western front where twin armored
forces struck out under cover of one of the heaviest artillery bombard
ments of the war.
A general headquarters communique also hinted at a major U. N.
move. It referred to "advancing United Nations ground elements" or
the western front and said they registered gains “all along the western
front despite strong enemy counterattacks."
The Russians are at it again ...
...according to a White House announcement yesterday, which
stated that the Soviet had made its second atomic explosion. White
House Press Secretary Joseph Short said: "Another atomic bomb has
recently been exploded within the Soviet Union. In spite of Soviet pre
tentions that their atomic program is being directed exclusively to
ward peaceful purposes, this event confirms again that the Soviet
Union Is continuing to manufacture atomic weapons."
Congressional sources pointed out that the very fact Russia Is testing
n new atomic model means she has not only stockpiled a considerable
number of conventional A-bombs, but is experimenting with new
types possibly guided missile warheads. Russia Is now believed to have
lit least 50 atomic bombs, possibly more. The size of the U.S. stockpile
has never been made public, but informed forces have estimated it at
3,000 or more.
Great Britain sailed on oil skids .. .
... yesterday when her last 330 oil technicians steamed away from
Tehran, abandoning the world's biggest oil refinery and other installa
tions to Iran. It was the end of a half-century of British development
of the rich Iranian ail fields which created the world's biggest refinery
at Abadan.
At the same time, the Iranian government announced that Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh will fly to New York Sunday to fight Britain's
complaint against Iran in the Security Council.
British foreign secretary Herbert Morrison promised to keep on try
ing to reach on oil settlement with Iran, but said he would not risk war
by using force.
U.S. will check Czechs in . . .
...an attempt to free American newsman William N. Oatis, who is
serving a ten year term for alleged spying. American officials promised
even more economic retaliations against Communist-ruled Czechoslo
vakia.
A few days ago, the U. S. announced that tariff concessions on Czech
imports would be withdrawn at the close of business on Nov. 1, and
told the Czechs that clearance for Czech shipments to this country
are "being indefinitely delayed.’’

Peacetime war games began ...
... yesterday at dawn as the West’s growing European defense
army started a full-scale test of its power to throw back a Soviet
attack. Some 160,000 U.S., French, and British ground troops, sup
ported by air and naval forces, were engaged in the eight-day maneuv
ers, called "Exercise Combine."
The purpose of the exercise is to give Oen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
expanding North Atlantic defense forces a dress rehearsal of the part
they would play if the Soviet’s 70 divisions in eastern Germany struck
tomorrow.
Oregon veterans to get bonus . . .
... was the assurance given by State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson.
Pearson stated that Oregon wil pay its promised bonus to veterans of
World War II, whether or not Uncle Sam okays the project and
whether or not there are any private bidders for the 40 million dollars’
worth of bonds it wil take to finance the bonus.
The bonus, now assured veterans as promised by the legislature after
being approved at the pols, will be for a maximum of $600. The average
is expected to be around $345.

j Oregon Picnic
Idea Gets Nix
1 From Students
By Sue Lichty
Negative answers burst forth
from studenta when asked “Do you
thmic a summer Oregon picnic at
. Jantzen Beach is a good means of
contacting prospective Oregon stu
dents?” Criticisms varied from the
no date angle to poor means of
, transportation.
Nancy Allison senior in art—
“No! Most freshmen have made
' up their minds about what school
to enter, before the picnic. Many
do not have transportation.”
Neil Dwyer freshman in liberal
arts "I felt that we were being
treated too much as children in the
entertainment provided.”
Henry and Harvey Bell—sopho
mores in liberal arts. "It should
have better publicity, but we had
fun even if there weren't too many
there.”
Lillian Schott—senior in sociol
ogy—“I think it is more of a re
union for the old students than a
drawing for prospective freshmen.
More emphasis should be put on a
program for freshmen.”
Nannette Silverthorne—junior in
art—“Too many think they need
dates and stay away when they
don’t have them.”
George Marshall — freshman in
liberal arts—“No! I don’t think it
was a bit worth while this year. It
didn’t impress me.”
Marilyn Thompson — senior in
Spanish—“We seem to be getting
very few people out for it. If every
one would go, it would be a good
means for contacting freshmen.”
Margie Williams—sophomore in
speech—“It's too early in the sum
mer. I'm always on vacation and
some industrious people are work
ing.”
Dick Fettig—freshman in busi
ness—“It certainly didn’t accomp
lish that purpose this year. If it
wer better planned, it would prob
ably be a good way to contact
prospective students.”
