8th Army to Guard 22,000 FreedPWs
Seoul, Korea—Eighth Army Commander Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor said his troops were preparing to take custody of 22,000 anti-Communist prisoners when they leave their Korean stockades Jan. 24.
Gen. Taylor said unrepatriated Chinese and North Korean prisoners would be transported from the southern boundary of the demilitarized zone to either a temporary or final destination.
Arthur H. Dean, UN negotiator for a Korean political conference warned the Reds Monday that allied troops would be used, if necessary to guarantee the prisoners a safe walk to freedom.
Mr. Dean arrived in Tokyo today from Korea on his way to Washington to report on the ruptured Korean peace conference talks.
Mr. Dean expressed confidence that he would return to arrange the long-delayed parley on Korea's political future and said considerable progress had been made during his seven-week conversations with the Reds.
"I believe that for reasons of their own they really want the convening of the political conference," Mr Dean said.
Mr. Dean told newsmen he did not know when the talks would resume, but said he was "very confident" South Korean president Syngman Rhee would not reopen the war if the conference is not called immediately.
Two ROK escapees said the Reds have pressed some 5,000 South Korean prisoners into a "reconstruction corps" since the war's end despite repeated riots demanding repatriation.
The two fugitives said the POWs are organized into two labor divisions, one a "railroad reconstruction division" of about 3000 men and the other a "construction brigade" of some 2,000 men.
NATOBuildup Draws Praise
Paris —(UP)— Supreme Allied Commander Alfred M. Gruenther said today the build-up of his North Atlantic Treaty Organization force has been "fantastic" and they will soon be given added power in the form of atomic weapons.
Therei is no word but 'fantastic' to describe the increase in Allied power against Communist aggression since the dark days of 1951 when Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived in Europe to organize Allied supreme headquarters, Gruenther told the North Atlantic Council of Ministers.
But the prospect of atomic weapons does not mean "an automatic reduction of forces will be possible, Gen. Gruenther warned. He said Allied leaders must keep open minds and "resist popular pressure" to cut troop strength.
Gen. Gruenther made his report as France rocked with anger and surprise over the warning yesterday by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that the United States must make an "agonizing" review of American policy unless France ratifies the European Defense Community pact soon.
3 Flags Honor Wright Flight
Kitty Hawk, N.C. —(U.P.)—Three flags—the American, United Nations, and an international goodwill banner—today were hoisted high over the windswept dunes where the Wright brothers fathered powered flight 50 years ago this week.
The flag-raising ceremony was part of the four-day climax to the golden anniversary of powered flight which will end Thursday—exactly 50 years from the day that Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first successful heavier-than-air flight.
Also scheduled for today was a glider salute to aviation's first pioneers by the Soaring Society o America.
Elbert Cox, director of the National Park Service, which dedicated two reconstructed buildings used by the Wrights in their flying experiments, suggested yesterday that an aviation museum be erected here.
He told a large crowd of aviation pioneers and industry leaders, government officials, and flying enthusiasts that the "epoah contribution of the Wright brothers is an historical milestone in world aviation leadership."
Mr. Cox described "the miracle of Kitty Hawk" as an "almost forgotten miracle."
Trieste Issue Left To 5-Nation Talks
United Nations, N.Y. — (U.P.)—The United Nations Security council today left the future of Trieste to the nations directly affected.
By a vote of 8 to 1 (Russia) with Lebanon abstaining, the council decided yesterday to postpone further consideration of the Trieste issue pending the outcome of current Western efforts to reach a solution. Pakistan was absent.
American delegate James J Wadsworth said the U. S. was "hopeful" that "fruitful results" would come from a proposed five-power conference to settle the dispute. The conference would include the Big Three, plus Italy and Yugoslavia.
It was the fourth postponement of the issue since Russia brought it before the council Oct. 20 following announcement of the Anglo-American decision to hand over Trieste's Zone A to Italy.
Russian delegate Andrei Vishinsky charged the Western powers were trying to convert Trieste into an Anglo-American military base to fill a "gaping breach" in the Western defense system.

Nixon Wants Clearer Policies On Return from Asia Tour
Washington—U.(P.P.)-Vice President Richard M. Nixon returned from a 45,000-mile Far Eastern tour convinced that the United States must make its policies clearer to win all-out support of free Asia in the fight against communism.
These are two of hundreds of ideas and impressions the vice president picked up on his unprecedented 70-day trip through 19 countries, which he is now translating into recommendations for President Eisenhower, the State Department, and the National Security council.
Until he makes his official reports
There also are indications he feels this country should stiffen its attitude toward such neutral nations as Burma and India which have often been critical of U.S. policies.
Mr. Nixon's Asian and Far Eastern swing was one of the administration's most dramatic moves to date to focus more emphasis on the importance of Asia. Mr. Nixon went with the avowed intention of making Asia realize that the new administration considers it of equal importance with Europe.
the vice president is not saying anything publicly about the recommendations he will make. But on his return yesterday he did tell reporters the one impression he got everywhere was that "the great mass of the people have a tremendous amount of basic goodwill and friendship for America in spite of the tremendous Communist hate campaign." He also said Mr. Eisenhower's atoms-for-peace play struck a "very sympathetic chord."
Students to See Nelson Gallery's 20th Year Show
About 70 University students are to visit the 20th anniversary of the Nelson Art gallery this afternoon in Kansas City, Mo.
Two University buses were provided for the trip. The group left at 12:30 p.m. today and will return to Lawrence early this evening.
Another trip to the Nelson gallery will be made Thursday afternoon. Again two buses will go, and Robert Sudlow, instructor of drawing and painting, said there still is room for a few more students.
Opened on Dec. 11, 1933, the Nelson gallery collection was made possible by funds left by William Rockhill Nelson, founder of the Kansas City Star.
On exhibition during the anniversary commemoration are approximately 12,000 objects of art which are owned by the Nelson gallery.
KU students who visit the exhibition also may see many works of art which have been loaned to the Nelson gallery by other art museums and galleries in the United States.
A Hilaire Degas painting, "Rehearsal for the Ballet on the Stage," was brought from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
"Moulin de la Galette," a painting by Henri-Toulouse Lautree, was sent by the Chicago Art Institute. The painting is insured for $1,000,000.
A Claude Monet portrait of Antonin Proust, "Chapeau de Paille" by Pierre Renoir, and "Harlequin" by Pablo Picasso also have been loaned to the gallery.
Draft Law Faces Defeat
Indications were they would advise President Dwight D. Eisenhower, at White House legislative conferences later this week, not even to send the proposal formally to Capitol Hill during the coming session.
Washington — (U.P.) Congressional leaders consigned to the deep freezer today a new administration plan to start universal military training side by side with the draft.
"It hasn't got a chance," was the consensus of key House and Senate members familiar with the case for and against UMT and with the licking it took on the House floor in March, 1952.
"I don't think the sentiment of Congress has changed on this matter," said House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R-Mass.). "Congress already has said the draft and UMT shouldn't operate concurrently and that so long as there is need for manpower, the draft law should prevail."
The proposal was submitted to President Eisenhower yesterday by a five-man commission headed by Julius Ochs Adler, vice president and general manager of the New York Times and president and publisher of the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times.
Political Science Award Offered
House military experts said the plan's only new feature—a continuing lottery to determine which draft registrants are called for six months of training only at age 18 and which for two years of actual service at not less than 18½—won't change House members' minds.
A prize of $100 for the best political science paper submitted is being offered by Pi Sigma Alpha, honorary political science fraternity, Jerry Lysaught, chapter president, said today.
The papers may deal with any aspect of political science, and may be in the form of either an essay or a research paper. The contest is open to any undergraduate student.
All manuscripts should be turned in to the political science office before May 1, 1954. The winner will be announced later that month.
Mr. Peepers Untouched By Hollywood's Glitter
Hollywood—(U.P)]-Mr. Peepers has been welcomed to Hollywood via star-studded cocktail party, but he decided today he doesn't understand what the fuss is about.
The gentleman is Wally Cox, an ex-night club comic who became a household byword on NBC's "Mr. Peepers" television show as a mild-mannered high school science teacher.
This week the New York program originated in Hollywood, so NBC rounded up local post-goers from Murilyn Maxwell to Zsa Sza Gabor.
The ways of the Hollywood party were, lost on Mr. Cox, however.
The ways of the Hollywood party were lost on Mr. Cox, however.
"I don't understand why they gave me this party," whispered Mr. Cox, who in real life acts like Mr. Peepers.
"They didn't give me a party when I entertained in Hollywood clubs years ago. And all these people!" he sighed as the press, TV celebrities and assorted freeloaders streamed into the NBC studio to balance hors d'oeuvres, highballs and hellos.
"Why are they here? It's a 'we're-all-famous' party. There's no excuse at all, otherwise, for their being here. The only parties that mean anything really are those with close friends."
“Anyway,” he said over the din, “this beats earnings $25 a week as a silversmith.” That’s what he was before pals talked him into transferring his party monologs to night-clubs.
He admits he lost some of his real life Mr. Pepperish-ness after treatment by a psychoanalyst.
"Now I wear neat clothes," he said. "I am angry less and hurt less. I don't try to tilt windmills and I can look people in the eye."
and I call book he is "secure" with his success and would be happy if the TV program goes on forever. He lives alone in a New York apartment "without even a TV set," but has an eye out for a prospective Mrs. Peepers.
It even was suggested Mr. Peepers date Marilyn Monroe in Hollywood, but he didn't think she'd go for that.
"Of course," he added, "it would be good, clean fun to look at each other!" ___
that "Yes, a very attractive young lady," he reflected, polishing his glasses. "But she probably is be with the fact so many people want to meet her.
