Atomic Energy Peace Conference Planned
Washington—(U.P.)The United States and Russia today planned early meetings here to arrange a full-dress conference on President Eisenhower's plan to start an international pool of atomic energy for peace.
Preliminary talks—the first major move on the atoms-for-peace project—will be held here within the next few days between Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Soviet ambassador Georgi N. Zarubin.
Authoritative sources said the two men will try to set an early date, place and schedule for formal secret talks between the two countries and perhaps Britain and Canada, the other major atomic powers.
Moscow and Washington announced last night they had agreed to the preliminary meetings. There was no indication whether representatives of other nations also would attend in the initial stages.

If Russia agrees, informants sait the full-dress talks may be sponsored by the United Nations, disarmament commission and the UN General Assembly, when he first unfolded his plan before the U.N. General Assembly on Dec. 8.
Mr. Eisenhower said that a subcommittee of the principal atomic powers could meet privately to arrange ways to make joint contri-

It was recalled that Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., U.S. delegate to the U.N., is chairman of the U.N. disarmament commission during the current month and that he could arrange the atomic parley.
Ike Urges Program To Bolster Defenses
UN Turns Down Deadline Delay; Reds Demand It
Panmunjom, Korea —(UP) A new United Nations note to the Neutral Repatriation commission has rejected any extension of the Jan. 23 deadline for releasing 22,000 anti-Red prisoners.
The note was delivered to the commission last night in response to a message from chairman Lt. Gen. K.S. Thimayya to the UN and Communist commands asking for their views.
As expected, the Communists demanded that the prisoners be held beyond the Jan. 23 deadline. The semi-official radio Peiping said the Red military command has sent a letter to Gen. Thimayya asking that the anti-Communist war prisoners be held until a Korean peace conference decides their fate.
Indian sources said United Nations and Communist delegates have made no attempts at Pamunjom, directly or secretly, to resume stalled peace conference negotiations.
The Indian report made it clear if there are any negotiations aimed at resumption of the talks, as reported by U.S. State department spokesman, they are being conducted in Washington or New York.
A special student rate of $1.53 (regular price $3.05) is being made available to KU students for the concert by Claudio Arrau, Chilean pianist, on Friday night in Kansas City. Details are available in the School of Fine Arts office.

Meanwhile, reliable sources said the Indians may release the anti-Communist prisoners without declaring them civilians to escape conflicting UN and Red demands.

Bv COURT ERNST
Johannes Brahms had already achieved a man's work when, at the age of 43, he first ventured into the highest domain of absolute music, the symphony. Already completed were his two serenades, the Piano Concerto in D Minor, the German Requiem, and the variation on a Haydn theme. The powerful Symphony No. 1 ends with a magnificent brass chorale theme, nobly presented by three trombones.
Under the baton of its regular conductor, Hans Schwieger, the orchestra will play "Overture to the School for Scandal" by the contemporary American composer, Samuel Barber; the colorful "Fire Bird Suite" by Stravinsky; three pieces, Hungarian March, Dane of the Sylphs, and Dance of the Will-o-the-Wisps from "The Damnation of Faust" by Berlioz; and the Symphony No. 1 by Brahms.
Berlioz's dramatic legend, "The Damnation of Faust," like Gounod's opera, is based on Goethe's "Faust." Of the three excerpts to be played, the hungarian March is well-known as a stirring orchestral tour de force. The tune was borrowed by Berlioz from an old march that had been popular in Hungary since the 18th century, the Rakoczy March. The orchestra is so vivid that it created quite a sensation when first presented at a concert in Budapest.
typical fairy tale elements as a handsome hero, a golden apple, a magic feather, an evil witch king, a secret weapon, and 13 beautiful maidens under a spell.
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower called on Congress today to enact a program which would prevent any "serious interruption" in American prosperity, provide atomic-age defenses at lower cost, and keep Communism in retreat.
In a 7,000 word State or the message to a joint session of the Senate and House, the Presidency and the Real Estate administration had won "that precious intangible, the initiative" in the world struggle against Communism.
He promised to hold that advantage and use it in the interest of lasting peace. He warned that we will "strike back" with "massive capability"—suggestive of atomic weapons—if the Communists renew the Korean War.

Dean's Fund Gets $2,160
A prominent alumnus of the School of Engineering and Architecture has given $2,160 to the Dean's Contingent fund. The gift was announced this week by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The alumnus, who did not wish his name revealed, is the president of a national-known company. A native Kansan, he graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture in the department of civil engineering.
The gift, along with a donation of $100 from Philip Young, Washington, D.C., national director of federal civil service, makes a total of $3,210 in the fund, which is administered by T. DeWitt Carr, dean of engineering. Mr. Young previously had donated $950.
Dean Carr and Irvin Youngberg, executive director of the endowment association, said they will leave the fund invested and will use only the interest earned from the investment.
There are no restrictions placed upon the use of either the principal or the interest but the fund is to be used for the purpose of building up the school and other related projects.

He lashed out at Americans convicted of advocating the violent overthrow of their government. He asked for a law that would strip these domestic Red conspirators of their citizenship—fitting punishment, he said, for "actions akin to treason."
Mr. Eisenhower's program covered every aspect of domestic and foreign affairs. These were the major points:
1. He is "confident" the nation can make the transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy "without serious interruption in our economic growth."
2. No further general cuts in taxes this year but selective relief for businesses seeking to expand and for individual hardship cases such as working mothers,
13. Government underwriting of private hospital and medical insurance programs to make possible a broader coverage.
3. Government spending in 1955 will be cut more than $5 billion—to about $65 billion a year—to bring the budget "closer" to balance.
4. Gradual transition to a new farm program based on flexible instead of rigidly-high price supports.
Easing of U.S. atomic secrecy laws to permit the armed forces to instruct allied commanders on the "tactical uses" of our new weapons.
9. The Taft-Hartley Labor-Management law is "b basically sound" but, "can be improved." He will submit specific recommendations to Congress next Monday.
12. A *constitutional amendment* to let 18-year-olds vote.
6. Military aid to allies and technical aid to backward countries "must be continued" but economic aid to Europe "can be reduced." 7. The new U.S. defense strategy which will place "heavy emphasis" on air power and atomic weapons.
8. Social security coverage should be extended to an additional 10 million workers and unemployment insurance to $6 \frac{1}{2}$ million.
10. He wants Congress to vote a four-cent rate for first-class letters and approve other postal rate hikes to get the more than half of the red.
*Stonebrook for Hawaiii.*
Mr. Eisenhower outlined most of his program in broad, general terms, leaving the details for a series of special messages which he will send to Congress later this month.
He appealed for Democratic support for his program by saying that "both of our great parties can support the general objective of the recommendations I make . . . for that objective is the building of a stronger America."
The Chief Executive's picture of the economy was a mixture of optimism and preparedness. He said it is "one of the wonders of the world" and his administration intends to keep it strong and growing.
He acknowledged the possibility that "new conditions"—a recession—might arise. If this happens, he said "the administration will still be ready . . . to take well-timed and vigorous action, and a business community willing, as ours is, to plan boldly and with confidence, can develop a climate assuring steady economic growth."
His report on the foreign situation was tied to the belief that the Free World is gathering strength at a time when "tyranny is in trouble" and the Iron Curtain "is as brittle as its surface is hard."
