Around the World—
French Make Attempts To Resume 'Airlift'
By UNITED PRESS
The French High Command in Indochina sent an officer respected by both sides in the war back to Dien Bien Phu today to see if the interrupted "mercy airlift" of wounded soldiers can be resume.
Prof. Pierra Huard—a colonel in the Army, a member of the Hanoi university medical faculty and a high-ranking official in Indochina's Cross—took for Dien Bien Phu without waiting for an invitation
Prof. Huard negotiated the airlifting of the pitifully small number of the 1,300 wounded, only 11 to be specific, last week.
The French temporarily called off the airlift on suspicion of Red treachery. It was believed the Communists at Dien Bien Phu deliberately had slowed down the airlift to enable movement of nobil troops over the "neutralized" Route 41 that leads to the Red river delta.
Bombers had been ordered to stay away from Route 41 during the airlift but when it became apparent the Reds were stilting pilots were ordered to renew their bombings as of last midnight.
The French announced that bombing of the highway had resumed at almost the same time that Prof. Huard reached Dien Bien Phu.
At Geneva, Western delegates to the Far East conference sought the answers to questions holding up Indochina peace talks. They wanted to know whether the Red Indochinese will limit the talks now to Viet Nam, Indochina's largest state, and treat cessation of hostilities in Laos and Cambodia, the smaller states, separately.
New Delhi — India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru called for admission of Red China to the United Nations. He said U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles once supported his stand.
Guatemala City — Foreign Minister Guillermo Toriello declined to comment on a U.S. State department charge that Guatemala had received arms from Soviet-controlled territory until he reads the report.
Canberra — The Royal commission investigating Soviet espionage in Australia heard testimony today that two or three members of Parliament were possible sources of information for Moscow.
KU's Program In Elementry Art Described
A description of the in which the University encourages and assists are programs in elementary and secondary schools is being distributed throughout the nation.
Miss Maud Ellsworth, associate professor of art education, wrote "The Influence of a State University on the Growth of Art Education" which comprises the May issue of The Related Arts Service newsletter. Published in New York, the newsletter is sent to administrators and teachers over the nation.
Miss Ellsworth tells how she and other KU teachers each year hold an art education conference, present fine arts clinics in two or more areas of the state, hold the high school art conference and in the summer conduct the Midwestern Art camp. Besides these formal events, Miss Ellsworth presents the weekly "Art by Radio" program, now ending its 12th year, and individual teachers give arts and crafts demonstrations in public schools while consulting on the art programs in those schools.
Farewell Party Set By Foreign Students
A farewell tea will be held by University foreign students in the Student Union ballroom from 4 to 6 p.m. today.
The party will be given under the auspices of the International club. Official guests, members of the faculty and their wives, and all persons who have been connected with foreign student activities this year have been invited.
Pottery Expert Says Man Must Keep Crafts
Mrs. Marguerite Wildenhain, an internationally known exponent of hand-created pottery, said yesterday that craftsmanship must remain an occupation of man in the future, and is one of the main roots out of which a more hopeful civilization can start growing.
Mrs. Wildenhain, who spent yesterday and today in lectures and demonstrations on the campus for the department of design, spoke in the Museum of Art on the subject, "The Hand Craftsman in Our Day."
Mrs. Wildenhain said that man had lost a "powerful simplicity of purpose in life and work, of mind and hand united in one creation of man." As a result, she said, we have "no convictions, no real faith in ourselves, our work, or our values. We have no ethical philosophy of life and no free pace of our own. We believe in half-truths and do not see that they are also half lies."
Mrs. Wildenhain described the "craft-man qualities of endurance, self-discipline, patience, healthy self-criticism, and the ability to focus total capacity toward one large aim." Showing the relevance of these qualities to the present state of man, Mrs. Wildenhain said, "When more men and women will be willing to live with the one basic idea in mind of the unity of work and life based on an ethical belief, then we will have a chance to become a valid human civilization."
Mrs. Wildenhain was born in Lyon, France, and received her master potter degree after seven years of training and apprenticeship at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, then under the direction of Walter Groipius. Until suppressed after the rise of Nazi power in Germany, the Bauhaus was an internationally celebrated school which led in the movement to adapt creative and functional arts to the scientific and mechanized culture of the 20th century.
Leaving Germany after Hitler's rise, Mrs. Wildenhain and her husband lived the following seven years in Holland and came to the United States in 1940. After teaching for two years at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, she has lived and had her workshop at Pine Farm, Guerneville, California.
Mrs. Wildenhain gave morning and afternoon demonstrations of her work yesterday and today. She also showed a film of her technique with her lecture last night. Her visit was sponsored by the ceramics division of the department of design.

Research Heads Contribute to Political Study
Instruction will again be presented by staff of the Purdue Life Insurance Marketing institute. Federal legislation and pending revisions of social security and estate, gift, and income taxes will be emphasized.
Dr. Allen and Dr. Rhoten Smith, instructor of political science, presented a set of the five-volume study yesterday afternoon to Gov. Edward F. Arn in Topeka.
The study presents the record and analysis of the selection and work of the Republican and Democratic parties to vote through the national conventions.
Dr. Ethan P. Allen, professor of political science and director of the Bureau of Research, and several research associates from the University's Governmental Research center were contributors to a new type of political study just released. "Presidential Nominating Politics in 1952" is the title of the book published by Johns Hopkins Press.
Dr. Allen, Dr. Smith, Mrs. Marcene Grimes, research assistant, and Clarence J. Hein, assistant director of research, prepared the Kansas chapter. Lending assistance were Walter Butcher, Butcher of Kansas State Women's Emporia, and A.D. Miller currently on leave from Kansas State, college.
Dr. Allen said that the project involving contributions from some 340 political scientists from all states was one of the largest cooperative undertakings in the field.
"The findings, I believe, present a hopeful picture to those interested in the extension of democratic procedures in this country," he said.
A conclusion of the book is that if nationwide primaries had been held immediately after the national conventions in 1952, the rank and file of both parties would have approved the selection of Eisenhower and Stevenson.
However, if a nationwide primary had been held before or instead of the nominating convention, Stevenson would probably have refused to enter it. "Thus," it is concluded, "the present system of nominating candidates may have deprived Statecraft of a nomination he could have won under a different system of choosing nomi-ness."
The strength of the代表 Sen. Robert A. Taft was over-represented at the Republican convention, the researchers concluded.
"Bossism" at the conventions was found to be overrated. If so-called "bosses" were successful, it was only in being able to record narrow voting margins in tight situations, and not in really balking the will of the delegates.
200 Birds Given ToHistoryMuseum
More than 200 mounted birds and animals have been given to the Museum of Natural History by Karl Roese of McCune, Kansas. Most of the specimens were collected by Roese's late father and brother in the 1880-1910 period.
Dr. Harrison B. Tordoff, assistant curator of ornithology, described the specimens as of "most important value to K. U. There are specimens of several species no longer found in Kansas and of which K. U. had no Kansas representatives."
The birth of Virginia Dare, first white child born in what is now the United States was commemorated in 1937, on the 350th anniversary.
Portions of the collection will be added to the museum's research collections and others will be used for teaching and exhibits.
