He said that the occasional heavy American bomber losses have been “greatly exaggerated" and are really “extremely small.” In order to send up 100 to 150 Migs daily In good weather, the Com munists are using their full "jet potential" in Manchuria, Vandenberg said. The total number of Communist jets is believed to be COO. The General commented during a lull caused by rain and fog which has grounded both H.N. and Communist planes. The occasion was also his return from a week's visit to Japan and Korea. The U.N. said "no" to cease-fire . . . ... until disposition of war prisoners and enforcement of the truce lias been assured. Tills reply was made to a Communist demand for immediate cease-fire which was virtually a renunciation of their pre viou>dy-statod position that hostilities should,continue during the armi stice talks. The latest Red proposal called for a cease-fire line drawn along the present batllefine. A buffer zone would be formed when each side withdrew one and a fourth mile on either side. Hrig. Gen. William P. Nu<kols, tin’ U.N. spokesman, raid the previous impression given by the Communists had been that the cease-fire line shift with the battle line during the talks. Russia lost out four times . . . ...at tile United Nations assembly in Paris Tuesday. The most out standing vote was a defeat to the Communist attempt to win a seat in the U.N. for Red China. U. S. Secretary of State Dean Achcson opposed the Russian move to oust the Chinese Nationalist and install the Reds when he charged that the international conduct of Red China was so low it would take vast improvement to raise it to "the general level of barbarism.” Other Russian defeats in key cold war areas included a 30 to 8 vote to debate Nationalist China's charge that the Kremlin threatens China's independence, a -17 to 6 decision not to discuss the establishment of a U.N. commtsison to determine the possibility of all-German elections to unify the split nation; and a 41 to 5 vote to hear Yugoslavia’s charges of aggression against Marshal Tito by Russia and its satellites. ♦ ♦ ♦ The U.S. admitted failure . . . ...in settling the oil dispute between Britain and Iran after three weeks of talks with Iranian Premier Mossndegh in Washington. During the discus-ions Mossadegh is reported to have requested President Truman personally for more financial aid because Iran’s oil production has been cut to almost nothing resulting in a drastic slash in the coun try's Income. The aid was asked in addition to that given by the International Monetary fund which has extended an emergency eight-and-three-quar ter-niillon dollar credit to Iran. This appears to fall far short of Iran's need for the crisis. A United States hospital evacuation plane . . . . . . carrying 34 American soldiers and airmen from Germany to Bordeaux, France, was missing Tuesday night. Radar-equipped rescue planes were sent to search for the missing air craft, 12th air force headquarters announced.

The one death was caused when a twister hit a state park at Gilbcrtsville, Kentucky, Tornadoes also hit parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. At Gary, Indiana, a small tornado plowed through an alley in a resi dential section. Damage was estimated at $500,000. Garages were smashed and a fire department official said 250 homes were damaged. Sen. Robert Taft predicted . . . . . . Tuesday that he would receive the Republican presidential nom ination next year "on the first few ballots” regardless of whether Gen. Dwight Eisenhower were a candidate. His statement was made on the assumption Eisenhower will run. Taft also said that he would go on to “defeat President Truman or any other Democratic candidate.” Eisenhower-for-president movement . . . ... leaders agreed yesterday on plans for a campaign organization to bo announced within a few days.

Homecoming Bonfire Discussed At Dorm Meeting Last Monday A committee of four attended a , meeting of freshman men in the ! Vet's dorm cafeteria Monday eve- j ning to talk about the tftmicom- j ing bonfire, which will be held at 8:4.r> pm. Friday, Nov. 23. The committee consisted of Jack Bey ers, chairman of the bonfire; Roger Webster, guards; Dick Johnson, policing and clean-up; and Donna Hart, publicity. Hal Swarthout, president of Cherney hall and chairman of the freshman executive council, intro duced the committee and distrib uted sign-up papers to those who planned to help on the bonfire. Beyers explained to the fresh men that it is their class which builds, guards and cleans up after the bonfire. This is done according to tradition and has been carried out successfully in past years. This year, however, Beyers pointed out, there is the problem of Thanksgiv ing vacation. The vacation begins Nov. 22 and the bonfire is to be built Friday, Nov. 23. In outlining the plans for the bonfire, it was pointed out that this year it will be held on top of .Skinner's butte and will be from 20 to 20 feet high. The freshmen are to procure the materials and take them up to the butte the day of the fire. The building of the bonfire, which will be in the shape of a barn, will be supervised by those who have previously participated in Homecoming bonfire-building. Beyers anticipated trouble from OSC, stating that fraternities and other men's living organizations at the rival school are rumored to have a movement underway to re turn to the campus on Friday with the express purpose of burning the Oregon bonfire. Swarthout added to this by ex plaining to the assembled group some of the ways in which OSC might attempt to set the fire off early. With Skinner’s butte the site for this year it will be more difficult to set off, but it is still possible, he indicated. Johnson talked about last year’s bonfire, which was to have been held on lower Howe field. This bonfire was burned in advance, however, and had to be rebuilt on the Fiji parking lot on Kincaid st. Johnson further emphasized the fun which can be had by the men taking charge of the bonfire, and how closely it tended to unite the class as a whole. Beyers asked the cooperation of all freshman men and urged their return to the campus to assist.

TO SERVE YOU • LEN • JACK • BOB • CHARLIE UNIVERSITY BARBER SHOP 1239 ALDER “The Moon Is Blue,” a play writ- j ten by F. Hugh Herbert, will be j presented in a reading at 7 ;30 to night by Horace W. Robinson, as sociate professor of speech and director of the University theater, in the browsing room of the Stu dent Union. Kntire action of the play takes place during a 24-hour period in New York city. “There is very little plot to “The Moon Is Blue” and this, it turns out, is one of its chief virtues,” Richard Watts, j Jr., of the New York Post said following opening of the play. “In a fashion that is frankly ; and proudly inconsequential, the i author offers a kind of romantic triangle between a guileless young television actress, a serious young architect, and the debonair father j of the girl in whom the artchitect is supposed to be interested,” 1 Watts commented. Robinson came to the University in 1933 and has been active in pub lic service activities including the Klamath Centennial “Oregon Trail —Southern Route” in 1946, Eu gene Pioneer Pageant in 1947 and numerous national theatre groups. “The Moon Is Blue” is currently playing at the Harris theatre in Chicago, the Walnut street theatre in Philadelphia and the Henry Miller theatre in New York city. Original stage cast players were Barbara Bel Geddes, Donald Cook and Barry Nelson. ...On KWAX WEDNESDAY 5:00 Piano Moods 5:15 Guest Star 5:30 News 5:45 Sports Shots 6:00 Table Hopping 6:15 Musk: in the Air 6:30 ./aekie Giraud Time 7:00 Question Panel 7:30 Hook Review 7:45 Campus Personalities 8:00 Campus Glassies 9:00 Serenade to Student 10:00 Anything Goes 10:45 Emerald News 10:50 News 10:55 Tune to Say Good Night Read and use Emeraid classi fieds.
