World News Capsules -- Communists Agree to Start Work On Last Korean Truce Item Compiled by Donna Lindbeck (’•'rom the wire* of the Cnlted Prone and Annotated Preen) I lie t oiiuminist.s agreed Sunday to start work at once on the fifth and last item on the Korean truce program, and also made concessions on armistice supervision and prisoner exchange. Jlere are the main developments Sunday: J.t. Ken. Nam II, the Communist chief delegate, accepted \ ice Admiral L. I urncr Joy’s proposal to begin debate on item five, the catchall “recommendations” on what to do after an armistice is signed. J he ( ommunists accepted an Allied demand that war prison ei s released after the armistice be put on parole not to fight again, but their nine-point prisoner exchange blueprint still opposed voluntary repatriation, and the Allies indicated the overall plan would be turned down. 1 lie Reds dropped their demand for control of five islands off the west coast of Korea south of the 38th parallel a demand the Allies already had rejected. The American airpower hit the Communists ... ... in Korea high and low Sunday, damaging two Ruaaian-made MIG Ji-t« in air battles and destroying or damaging two Red tanks in strafing attacks. About 100 MIGs were sighted over Northwest Korea during the day nnd 35 U S. Sabrejets tangled with 65 of the Red Planes In two swirl ing dog-fights, winging one Soviet Jet in each encounter. No'American losses were reported. Maiine Corsair fighters tackled the Red tanks on the Central front near Pyonggang, leaving three in flames and damaging two others. Allied tanks also were active on the Central front. A strong nmored detachment firing 90-mm. shees poured 750 of them into Red defense positions in a hill-shattering 16-minute barrage and then withdrew under heavy fire from Communist mortar batteries. Sen. McCrathy accused President Truman . .. ... of "name calling” Sunday and demanded that he tell the nation whether FBI reports branded a White House aide as a former Com munist. The Wisconsin Republican made public a telegram he sent the President in reply to Truman's news conference remark last week that McCarthy wus a pathological character assassin. The chief executive said he took no stock in McCarthy's charges, aired recently in the Senate, that Presidential Assistant Philleo Nash has been accused of Communist ties by FBI reports. McCarthy said in his telegram Sunday that "most" of his material on Nash came from 10 FBI reports to the Loyalty Review board. Nash had denounced McCarthy's charge as a "contemptible lie." He denied ever having been a Communist and blamed his sister's anti McCarthy activities in Wisconsin for the Senators attack. «£en. Estes Kefauver said Sunday... ...he would support a compulsory Fair Employment Practice com mission if the controversial plank were written into the Democratic platform next July. The Tennessee Democrat, added however, that it is his "own per sonal opinion" that "voluntary persuasive methods" can accomplish far more. Kefauver, only avowed candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, outlined his views on Southern political issues in a radio interview. On the Republican side of the political scene, Rep. George Meader (R.-Mich.) called on the GOP to oust Republican National Chairman Guy G. Gabrlelson in order to rid the party of "any unnecessary bur dens" in the November White House race. The Senate permanent investigating committee criticized Gabrielson last week in connection with his dealings with the Reconstruction Finance corporation. Rep. Charles E. Potter said Sunday ... ... that Newbold Morris should be "disqualified" for his new govern ment cleanup post because of the use of his name by Red front groups and his role in a surplus tanker deal. Potter (R. Mich.) said Morris, the New York City Republican re former chosen by Attorney General J. Howard McGrath to rid the administration of any corruption, is "either naive to the extreme or a soft-headed idealist whose judgment is most poor." At his home in Sharon, Conn., Morris told the United Press that the c harges are “assinine.” He asserted he was not a member of any of the groups mentioned by Potter although he may have addressed them when he was in public office during the war. Harold L. Ickes died Sunday night . . . ...in Washington. Ickes, 77, was former Secretary of the Interior. He had been seriously ill since last Monday night when he lapsed inti * ^ semi-coma at his Maryland farm about 20 miles. Jjrom ,\yashing^on. He had returned’ to his farm oh Jan. 18 after several weeks treatment at a Washington hospital for an arthritic condition.

Three Sororities Missing Doorknobs Doorkrobs of at least three so rorities latches of two of them— were stolen early Saturday morn ing and another sorority reported the main switch providing electri city to the kitchen was turned off. Someone took the door latches from Kappa Alpha Theta and Chi Omega —they're still gone—and the doorknob from Alpha Chi Ome ga -it's been replaced. The switch was thrown at Kappa Kappa Gam ma. A noise was heard about 3 am.. Kappa Alpha Theta reported. Two men were spotted backing out of the Chi Omega driveway at 3:30 a.m. They were driving a red 1951 Oldsmobile, according to the observers, and turning the head lights in the observers’ eyes sped away down Alder street. The Thetas have stuffed paper in the hole left by the vandals, keeping the door from catching. The Chi O's are not faring so wel, however, according to one member. “We have to leave the door ajar so we can get in and out," she said, “and the wind comes whip ping through." Kennedy Explains Church School Job Methodist Bishop Gerald Ken nedy, who delivered the closing ad dress at last week's parliament of world religions, said last week that it is the responsibility of church schools to be superior academically and intellectually. In an address given at Lewis and Clark college, Bishop Kennedy said that the schools should not pro duce "insufferable religious snobs” or turn students away from re ligion but to pioneer in various fields of experimentation unhamp ered by the restrictions on public institutions, to teach within the Christian framework and be proud of its association with the church. Bishop Kennedy delivered the principal address Jan. 24 during trte jmrliiment, discussing Chris tianity as the road to salvation in the modern world. ncrl to run into a six figure sum. Between $12,000 and $15,000 has been obtained so far. R. E. Hooker, Klamath Falls, re ported that the Klamath chapter of the Dads had collected $145 for scholarship use. Hooker said that he is confident that within a short time, the Klamath chapter will have its own local trust fund to provide scholarships to deserving students. The committee heard a sugges tion that local Dad's clubs take over placement of copies of the Oregana in high schools through out the state. No action was taken. At the present the Oregon Dads club guarantees purchase of 250 Oreganas with the provision that the Oregana attempt to collect for the cost of the books through gifts and donations. At the afternoon business ses sion dads were told by Oregana business manager Chuck Issak that production costs of the year book have risen 30 per cent. Issak asked the local clubs for increased financial support of the placement program.
