Big Three Drafts Far East Peace
Geneva—(U.P.)-The Western Big Three today drafted new compromise plans for ending the Indochina war and bringing stable peace to Korea.
Both will be offered Russia and the Communist bloc at today's secret Far Eastern conference session. The plans:
For Indochina-A choice between starting work at once on a cease-fire for Viet Nam, largest and most important of the three associated states of Indochina, or creation of three separate committees to work out separate armistry plans for each of the three states.
For Korea-A plan for new general elections in all Korea to unify the country.
All 16 nations which fought under the United Nations banner in Korea approved the latest Korean compromise plan at a morning session.
The new plan calls for nationwide elections supervised by the United Nations but only after withdrawal of Chinese Communist troops from North Korea and amendment of the South Korean constitution to permit new elections.
The new proposals for both major areas of danger and tension in the Far East were rushed before the conference in view of broad hints by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov that he will leave Geneva late this month or in early June.
Today's secret session was originally to have concerned itself primarily with Korea, for which the new election proposal was made.
South Korean President Syngman Rhee has agreed on this proposal with the understanding it will be presented to the Communists as a "take it or leave it" proposition.
Mr. Rhee had refused to approve all-Korean elections, arguing that the southern half of the country
with six-sevenths of population has had U.N. supervised elections, the most recent being yesterday's balloting for the National Assembly, while North Korea has had no free elections.
Therefore Mr. Rhee left open 100 legislative seats for North Korea and insisted that the North Koreans vote to fill the vacancies under U.N. supervision.
Sasnak Elects Hutton President
Nancy Hutton, education junior was elected president of Sasnak physical education organization last night. The annual elections picnic was held in Clinton park.
Others elected were William Perich, education sophomore, vice president; Joan Leonhard, education junior, secretary, and Richard Mehas, education junior, treasurer.
In ten years, the population of Anchorage, Alaska, jumped from 4.000 to 50.000.
Religion Caused Russian to Balk at Murder Scheme
Washington — (U.P.) A Russian secret police agent, trained in sabotage and assassination, said today religious scruples caused him to balk on a murder assignment and flee to the West.
Nikolai Khokhlov, a slight blond young man in a heavy blue suit, sat perspiring under television lights as he told his story publicly in an extraordinary session of the Senate Internal Security subcommittee.
Chairman William Jenner (R-Ind.) asked Khokhlov "why did you refuse to carry out an assignment to commit murder?"
"Because, as I understand it, it is not permissible for a man to do so," Khokhlov replied through an interpreter.
Subcommittee counsel Charles P. Grimes told Khokhlov the answer was not responsive and the interpreter, stated it again.
Khokhlov answered this time that he refused to murder "because I consider that murder, assassination is a crime against religion and functions."
The Rusisan came to the small hearing room, filled to capacity, under guard by two uniformed police officers. He sat alone with the interpreter at the witness table, but a subcommittee source said plain-clothes agents were in the crowd for Khokhloy's protection.
Khokhlov, a captain in the terroristic Russian secret police (MVD) until his defection in West Berlin in mid-February, said he was sent to Germany to "liquidate" Georgi S. Okolovich, a leader in the NTS, an anti-Communist underground organization.
Minnesota Editor Dies; Spoke Here
A former Daily Kansan Awards dinner speaker, Gideon D. Seymour, vice president and executive editor of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, died late last night of a heart attack.
Mr. Seymour was a professional member of the committee which accredited the William Allen White School of Journalism for the American Council on Education for Journalism in 1947. Mr. Seymour spoke here in the spring of 1948.

Marker Has Pioneers Going East
By LaVERLE YATES
The Oregon Trail marker in front of Lindley hall, which was dedicated April 17 is very nice, we feel.
But it does seem a bit strange to us that in all of this excitement no one seems to know why the covered wagon is mounted going east instead of west, and no one seems to know who mounted it that way.
TRAIL MARKER—Its placement has pioneers going east instead of west
The donor, dedicators, and sculptors, J. E. and L. G. Fraser, took part in this historic event. Why doesn't anyone know who mounted the plaque, with its covered wagon heading back toward New England?
We wonder how the free staters who originally treaked westward over this very hill would feel about seeing their wagon and oxen suddenly heading back from whence they came.
Many professors who were approached on the subject said that it was "unfortunate."
The inscription on the memorial says "Beginning in 1849, there ploed up the southern slope of Mount Oread a vast emigration
One instructor did hazard a guess that the settlers might be looking for a place to cross the river. They crossed near Lecompton and maybe they had to go east temporarily to get there.
The plaque itself shows a team of oxen pulling a covered wagon with a woman and child inside and a man plodding along beside them as they head into the setting sum, or is it the rising sun?
3 Students Given Stauffer Grants
Three Oscar S. Stauffer journalism scholarships have been awarded to senior students at Arkansas City,-Pittsburg, and Topeka high schools for the 1954-55 school year at the University.

Draft Boards Get Grades on Request

Reports will be made in June to all draft boards for every student in school the preceding year, provided the student informs the registrar's office of his classification and local draft board. Mr. Hitt said.
It is the responsibility of every student to keep his draft board informed of where he is and to notify the board of any change in address or student status, the registrar added.
