Korean Minister Asks For Advice on Walk Out
Seoul—(U.P.)—Foreign Minister Pyun Yung Tai said today his government has asked Washington for a "commitment" on whether a U.S.-Korean agreement to walk out on a stalled Korean peace conference applied to the forthcoming Geneva conference.
Walter S. Robertson, U. S. State department representative, reached an "understanding" with President Syngman Rhee last summer that the two nations would walk out on a Korean peace conference if the Communists used it for propaganda instead of negotiation.
Mr. Robertson's "understanding" was part of the price the United States paid for Mr. Rhee's promise to accept the July armistice and not try to unify Korea by force. Mr. Rhee and Mr. Robertson agreed to consult on "future strategy" if a walkout was deemed necessary.
Pyun said he saw "strong indications" that the Geneva conference among the United States, Britain, France, Russia, and Red China may attempt a "package deal" in settlement of the Korean and Indochine problems since "it would be quite difficult to discuss the one question completely independent of the other."
As a result, Pyun said, his government asked Washington if the Robertson agreement applied also to the Geneva conference. He did not set a time limit for the Geneva conference.
Pyun said he was advised Korean and Indochinese questions could be discussed simultaneously at Geneva and that the conference would be a meeting of two sides "as a practical matter" and not a round table conference.
But he said South Korea also still wanted to know about Russia's role, whether the Soviet would be a neutral or a belligerent, whether the nations present would be bound by a majority vote, and whether the Rhee-Robertson agreement was still in effect.

Busy, Happy Describes Lead Actressin'Antigone
Bv GENE SHANK
Busy, talented, and happy are three key words describing Mrs. Kathleen Howland of Tonganoxie, who will play the dramatic role of Anitgone in the University Theatre March 17-20.
Besides commuting regularly for "Antigone" rehearsals in Fraser theater, Mrs. Howland, a KU graduate in speech and drama, is also kept busy with her domestic duties as a housewife and a mother of three small children. Her husband, Dr. Bill Howland, also a KU graduate, is a medical practitioner in Tonganoxie.
"I'm very happy to be back on the campus and acting once again," Mrs. Howland said, "particularly in such a play as 'Antigone.' It is extremely thought provoking, and it is a pleasure to explore its possibilities."
Acting in Fraser theater is nothing new to Mrs. Howland, nee Kathleen Jones, who received the BA in '46 and her MA in '50. During the years she spent a good deal of time on the Fraser stage, working with the University Players and acting in University productions.
"I suppose the part of Ma in 'Happy Journey' was the most fun of all," she said, thinking back on the KU productions she has played in. Other plays she recalled were "The Skin of Our Teeth," "Night Must Fall," "Hay Fever," "Macbeth," "Juno and the Paycook," and "Tune in Yesterday."
In December 1948, Mrs. Howlama appeared as Penelope Gray in the University of Kansas City Playhouse production of "Elizabeth the Queen" by Maxwell Anderson. The show played in Kansas City with June Cowl, Broadway actress, starring as Elizabeth.
Dr. John Newfield, University Theatre director, first saw Mrs. Howland in the Kansas City production and invited her to read the part of Antigone.
Museum Features Work by Lautrec
A color lithograph by Henri Touliouse-Lautree, entitled "Marcelle Lender en Buste," is the master piece for March in the Museum of Art.
The lithograph, lent by Peter Deitsch of New York, is one of Lautrec's portraits of the actress and dancer, Marcelle Lender.
"It was the movement, color and splendor of the costumes, and the portrayal of characters, rather than the literary qualities of the plays which attracted Lautrete to the theater," Edward Maser, museum curator, said. "Marcelle Lender, as he depicts her here, symbolizes this gaudy and effervescent world make-believe," he added.
Conference Planned To Reduce Accidents
A Traffic Court conference will be held here March 24, 25, and 26 under the sponsorship of the American Bar association, the State Bar association, the Kansas League of Municipalities, the Northwestern Traffic institute and University Extension.
"The purpose of this conference," said Governor Arm in a recent letter to George Brooks, ast. extension director, "is to reduce traffic accident losses, build better acceptance of traffic laws, and build more respect for government through traffic court administration."
