Pilgrims, Indians Join in Celebration
Roads Promise
Slick Weekend
"Faff and icy roads over the holiday weekend will not be good for
i driving,” a Eugene weather bureau official said Tuesday. Frost that
would usually come off with windshield wipers will stick because of low
temperatures, he said, and there will be heavy morning fog during the
1 long weekend.
Portland expects early morning fog. but will clear in the afternoons.
No More Emeralds
Planned This Week
Thin will lx- the last Emerald
published tills Week as students
vacate the <-am|>us for the
Thanksgiving holidays. Two pa
pers will lie published next week,
one on Tuesday and one on Fri
day. The final Issue of the term
will come out Deo. 11, allowing
staff members to prepare for
finals.
Mac Court New
Morse Talk Site
The address of Sen. Wayne L.
Morse on Dec. 9 has been scheduled
for McArthur couit instead of the
Student Union ballroom, it was
decided by the University assembly
committee Tuesday.
Reason for moving the place of
the speech is to accomodate the
larger crowd expected, SU pro
gram Director Donna Buse an
nounced. The ballroom has a ca
pacity of 1200 persons and no more
can be crowded in because of fire
regulations.
Morse, Oregon's junior senator,
has been a center of controversy
since he switched support of his
party’s candidate for President,
Dwight, Eisenhower, to Gov. Adlai
Stevenson. He now calls himself
an independent.
Maximum temperatures will be 30
degrees, minimum, 25. No rain at
all is indicated for the holidays!
either in Portland or Eugene.
Pass Believed Clear
Willamette pass drivers, the;
American Automobile Association
announced Tuesday, will find it!
clear with no precipitation. The
road is icy in spots and the temp- j
erature is about 10 degrees in the j
mornings.
Four inches of roadside snow ad- ]
vise chains for motorists going'
over the McKenzie this weekend.
Morning lows of 10 degrees have
made the road slippery, but it is
bare in exposed areas where traffic
has worn off the snow. Drivers arc
getting through without chains,
however.
Sanliam Minimum 18
Weather conditions on Santiam
pass, reported the AAA, are clear
with no precipitation. Word they
received said the temperature will
probably stay at the morning mini
mum of 18 degrees. The road is icy
in spots, and chains are not being
used.
Korean Solution
Given Top Rating
For UN Debate
Priority Decision
Of 21-Nation Group
1.7*1 A 21-nation group has
agreed unanimously to give top
priority to the Indian plan for a
Korean peace in the current Unit
ed Nations debate.
This group backs the United!
States-sponsored plan for a solu-!
tion to end the Korean war.
There were indications the U.S.
will first insist on some changes
to clarify the Indian stand on the I
repatriation of war prisoners issue.
The Indian proposal already has
been rejected by Russia.
Before leaving for London, An
thony Kden, British foreign secre
tary, told newsmen he believes
there is a good chance that a ma
jority of the UN will agree on the
Indian resolution on the Korean
prisoner-of-war question. It may
be necessary, he said, to add some
clarifications.

Miles blandish, a chunky little man with a martial spirit and
a ffrCat heart* led h,s army of 20 Pilgrim men through march

thankful that the might of the white men was not directed
against them. 1
