Chou En-lai Calls For Formosa Talks
By UNITED PRESS

Miss Carter was selected from among twenty-one KU entries by a panel consisting of Mayor and Mrs. Roe Bandle of Kansas City, Mo., and Landon Laird of the Kansas City Star.

OH SPRING, IT'S WONDERFUL! Bill Hackney, engineering junior, watches as Mary McCollum, fine arts freshman, sketches a copy of Fraser for a watercolor class. The grass in front of the Journalism building will soon be providing a comfortable carpet for students to pass an hour or recuperate from "spring fever," as well as a studio for aspiring artists.
During intermission, the Relays queen and her attendants will be presented. A short program will also be presented with Richard Rumsey, college sophomore, at master of ceremonies.
The effort appeared doomed to failure, however, for Chou told the Afro-Asian conference in Bandung he still intended to "liberate" Formosa and declared it was an internal Chinese matter.
For Chou, the speech was conciliatory and it was so hailed by Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, the Philippine delegate who is to attend tomorrow's meeting as one of the three-pro-Western representatives.
But Chou made it clear he regarded the United States as the No. 1 enemy of Red China. He offered friendship with the United States and aggrieed it of trying to subvert—or overthrow the Peiping regime.
Tomorrow's meeting was announced by Sir John Kotelawala, prime minister of Ceylon, after a day of intensive behind-the-scene maneuverings in an effort to make a bold move for peace at the conference.
Kotelawala called the meeting of the Colombo powers sponsoring the Bandung conference—Ceylon, Indonesia, Burma, Pakistan and Indonesia—and Thailand and the Philippines.
