Norstad Cites Deficiencies Of NATO to Conference
Norstad expressed confidence, however, that Europe can be defended. He disclosed he has ordered a mobile forward defense in most of central Europe rather than holding rear positions.
PARIS—(UPI) —Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Lauris Norstad warned today that NATO forces in Europe are "critically short" and suffer from "deficiencies of serious proportions."
NORSTAD addressed the eighth annual conference of parliamentarians of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries.
The supreme allied commander was to have retired from his post Oct. 31 but he was asked to stay a few months longer because of the Cuban crisis.
"The fact is, and I have made no secret of it, our forces are critically short in a number of ways—there are deficiencies of serious proportions." Norstad told the 15-nation conference.
"WE ARE STILL short certain major units. Many of those which we have are seriously short in combat and service support. There are notable deficiencies in available supplies, and there is a general lag in furnishing the modern equipment without which our forces would have to fight at a great disadvantage."
Norstad added, however, that within the limits and for the purposes of our directive from the political authorities, NATO Europe can be defended."
"BUT I MUST ADD—and hasten to add—until the goals are fully met we are subjecting ourselves to unnecessary request in the process of this defense," he added.
"What remains to be done is relatively small compared with what has already been accomplished. We have only a short distance to go but this is critical."
Norstad said he ordered the Commander-in-Chief of Allied troops in
Students Pay Expenses With Part-time Jobs
Editor's Note: This is the first article in a series of three dealing with KU student employment.
KU students are up early and late all over the campus in order to help finance their educations.
At 6 a.m., a male student employed in the kitchen of a large residence hall tumbles out of bed. At 6:30, he will be "on the job," helping to serve breakfast to 400 men.

AT 11 THE SAME NIGHT. a woman student will return to her scholarship hall from the library where she has spent the evening working at the periodicals desk.
One woman graduate reported in 1912 her employment activities while she was a student here;
"FROM SEPTEMBER to November I washed dishes at a fraternity house and did chamber work and ironing at a club.
"I had from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
for my classes and study. After
this, I washed the dinner and supper
dishes and gave a patient a bath
and a massage. Then I studied till
12 o'clock.
"From November to March, I was in a private family, got up at 3 o'clock every morning, ironed on studied, and got breakfast."
"During the summer vacation, nursed at $25 a week."
OTHER WOMEN during this era paid their way by making homemade candy for a downtown store, opening a small dress-making establishment in their rooms, doing simple hand sewing and repairing, and shampooing and setting hair.
KARLENE HOWELL, assistant to the dean of women, who is in charge of part-time employment for women, says that part-time jobs for the co-ed of the '60s fail mainly into the clerical or baby-sitting categories.
Job opportunities for men are more varied. Roger A. Hill, student employment counselor in the Aids and Awards office, receives calls for "everything from skilled electrical layout men to janitors."
Food handlers and fry cooks are in demand the most. he says.
PRINTERS, volunteer firemen, museum guards, genetics lab assistants and students who can work
Central Europe, Gen. Pierre Jaquot,
"to prepare his forces to conduct a mobile defense in most forward areas rather than to hold rear positions."
in yards, mortuaries, offices, drug stores, and service stations are also in demand.
About 140 women have come to Miss Howell's office for aid in obtaining a job. Approximately 85 have notified her that they have found employment. An additional 17 have been placed on the "baby-sitting list."
Hill, in the Aids and Awards office, reports that approximately 300 men students have applied for jobs through his office. An estimated 163 have notified him of their placement.
"WE DO MORE than just refer girls to a potential employer," she said, referring to the counseling function of her office.
"There are a lot of jobs students can't fill," Hill said. "We need people with unusual talents — other than dormitory and construction work.
"WHILE ADDITIONAL forces would be desirable," he said, "a forward defense can be maintained on a minimum basis if the requirements of our present program are fully met."
JOINT FORM letters from Miss Howell and Hill were sent to around 240 businesses downtown. Mr. Hill sent 125 letters to employers with "men only" job opportunities.
"From the employers, we need more common jobs," he said.
He said he recognized the idea of moving NATO defense lines forward in this fashion involves a risk.
"But I also feel on balance the effectiveness of our effort will be far greater than if we remain in a position that has been dictated by our plans up to recent months," he said.
Post cards were sent to heads of departments and to Watkins Hospital and the Kansas Union to determine the need for part-time student help.

"I would also point out that is not the only situation which involves a risk. It is, moreover, a necessary and acceptable risk and, further, adds greatly to the creditability of the deterrent."
