A prison riot in Korea . ..
. . . broke out again Tuesday among the Communist prisoners of war.
This time it was not on Koje Island, but at Pusan, where some Red
fanatics resisted proper medical treatment. The risult was a two and a
half hour battle in which one of the Red prisoners was killed and 85
injured. One American guard was hurt slightly. No shots were fired.
The Soviet radio accused the U.S.. ..
... of building Nazi-style extermination camps in Arizona and Okla
homa. A Moscow broadcast said the camps are intended for the exter
mination of all who do not agree with what the Soviet radio called
"the aggressive policies of United States imperialists.” The broad
cast said the camps are being built at Florence and Wickenburg, Ariz.,
and El Reno, Okla.
The Greyhound strike has ended ...
M ■ • • after almost three months of dispute. The settlement affects
about 3000 drivers and station workers in seven western states. The
end of the strike came suddenly as a group of San Francisco drivers
reversed their stand and approved the settlement on Tuesday. Oper
ations are expected to be normal again by this morning. Among other
things, workers get a shorter work week with no loss of pay.
John L. Lewis and his mine union leaders .. .
. . . have opened a three-day session Washington. They call it routine.
Labor observers, however, wonder whether part of the routine con
versations will include the question of new contract demands, always
a possibility when Lewis and his executives meet.
Western Union is still trying . . .
... to settle the telegr aph workers strike. It offered workers a seven
cent an hour pay raise with condition the government approves an in
crease in telegraph rates which would add $7,700,000 a year to com
pany r evenues. There's been no indication of the union’s reaction yet.
The atomic test was a dud ...
.. . Tuesday, as it turned out, at the Nevada proving ground. The
atomic energy commission blamed it on failure of the complicated
electrical system used to detonate the atomic bomb. Scientists are
still looking for the exfect trouble. The test was postponed 48 hours.
The three year rail dispute may be settled ...
. .. soon, but an important obstacle remains. Three big railroad union
has as^ed for clarification of the White House settlement proposal,
and there are indications the unions might accept the proposals today.
The major point of contention, however, is whether to accept proposals
on some highly controversial working rules.
U.S. air force is dismissing 12 officers ...
.. . who have refused to fly. They'll go out under honorable conditions
without court martial. This action, first disclosed by the air training
* command at Scott Base in Illinois, disposes of all but one of 14 re
ported cases of men who refused to fly. In one of the other cases, the
flier was permitted to resign.

Former Student Turns to Islamic Sect,
Writes Pamphlet After Conversion
The hegira of a former Univer
sity of Oregon student into the Is
lamic religion, his conversion and
his subsequent writing of a pamph
let on Mohammed published by the
Moslem Society of the United
States is one of the stories which
came out of the recent Parliament
of World Religions on the campus.
The tale was told to Wallace Bal
dinger, chairman of the faculty re
ligious and spiritual activities com
mittee, by Bashir Minto, one of the
speakers at the Parliament.
Tracey Cromwell Dudley was the
student involved. He was an under
graduate at Amherst College and
took a E.S. in education at Rut
gers before coming to Oregon as
a graduate assistant in English in
1942, according to Baldinger.
Dudley became interested in Is
lam, the religion of which Moham
med was a prophet, and after
Law Students Hold
First Moot Trial
In Series of Four
The second in the series of moot
trials, practice trials for law stu
dents, will be held at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in the circuit courtroom
of the Lane county courthouse.
First in the series of four trials
was held Tuesday evening in the
courthouse. Students act as attor
neys, plaintiffs, witnesses and
court officials while a member of
the faculty is the judge for the
trial. They are annual events.
Taking part in the second trial
are William Love and Edward'
O'Reilly, attorneys for the plain-:
tiff; LaVern Johnson and John
Larsson. attorneys for the defense;
Robert Hill, bailiff-notary; Patri
cia Young, clerk; Kenneth Poole,
reporter-sheriff; Robert Kerr, Da
vid Lent and John Sabin, witnesses
for the plaintiff; and Vernon Cook, j
Lester Pederson and Warren Wood
ruff, witnesses for the defense.
The third trial will be held Tues- 1
day at 7:30 p.m. and the last May i
29, also at 7:30 p.m. i
studying it was converted, Bal
dinger said. He was so interested,
in fact, that he wrote a pamphlet
called "What’s in a Name,” pub
lished in 1948 by the Moslem So
ciety of the U.S.A.
> The title of the pamphlet is
based on the fact that it explains
why it is improper to refer to the
"Mohammedan religion,” since the
adjective refers only to the prophet
of the Islamic religion and not to
the sect itself. The pamphlet also
traces the history of the devel
opment of the religion and outlines
its basic teachings.
