Allies Schedule Talks With POWs Tomorrow
Panmunjom—(U.P).—Allied interviews with balky war prisoners begin tomorrow, but the 22 Americans and one Briton will have to wait two more weeks before hearing "come home" talks.
Unanimous approval by the Neutral Nations Repatriation commission of an Allied request to interview 30 unrepatriated South Koreans daily made possible the beginning of the long-delayed interviews.
A South Korean spokesman said the Americans and Briton who refused to go home in "Operation Big Switch" last summer will not be interviewed until all 328 ROK captives of the Reds hear explanations.
At the rate of 30 prisoners daily, it will take ROK interviewers 11 days, excluding Sunday, to complete their project.
Thus, the interviewers will not talk to the first Americans until Dec. 14 or Dec. 15 and, under the armistice agreement, the explanation operation must end on Dec. 23.
The United Nations command's decision to interview the Americans and Britons last was seen here as a psychological tactic, underlining an Allied feeling that the men may decide to go home if interviewed near Christmas.
Brig. Gen. A. L. Hamblen, chief of the UN repatriation group, requested permission from the commission to start the talks Wednesday with the first 30 South Koreans appearing in the interview huts.
Also in Panmunjom. Allied sources regarded prospects for holding a Korean political conference as "fairly disappointing" today because the Reds insist on seating Russia as a privileged neutral.
UN representatives made no secret of the fact that a detailed proposal submitted by the Communists Monday was only a very small step toward agreement.
Main obstacles in the Communist blueprint for the conference were the section which would bring in Russia as a neutral which would not be bound by any agreements reached and the naming of New Delhi, India, as the conference site.
The United Nations General Assembly in New York defeated a resolution which would allow neutrals to attend the conference, and the Allies have since made it clear they would never accept Russia as a Korean war neutral.
New Delhi was ruled out as the conference site Tuesday by South Korean Foreign Minister Pyun Yung Tae, whose government considers India a pro-Communist nation.
kyun said Colombo, Ceylon often mentioned as a possible conference site—also was objectionable but "not categorically," intimating his government might yield on this selection.
The UN, in a major compromise, now is proposing that Russia be invited to the conference as a full participant, either on the Communist side or as a third party bound by any decisions made during the parley.

Survey Director Leaves for Capital
Dr. John C. Frye, executive director of the State Geological survey, left yesterday for Washington, D.C., to attend a meeting of a committee making a management study of the United States Geological survey.
the committee was set up last summer by Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay to appraise activities of the federal survey, with particular attention to ways and means of accomplishing work more efficiently.
The committee has been operating under supervision of Felix Wormser, assistant secretary for mineral resources. Dr. Frye said the committee expects to report to Mr. McKay in early 1954.
Pressure increases sharply as the ocean descends. At four miles down, for example, ocean water crushes with a weight 640 times that of the atmosphere, or four and a half tons to the square inch, says the National Geographic Society. Man can stand little more pressure under water than 65 pounds to the square inch.
Gouzenko Tells Reasons For Refusing to Talk
St. Louis, Mo. — (U.P.) The Post-Dispatch, in a copyright righted story, said today Igor Gouzenko has decided "he cannot in safety" testify before the U.S. Senate Internal Security sub-committee.
The Post-Dispatch quoted the former Russian cipher clerk, now hiding from the Russian secret police, as saying in an exclusive interview at an undisclosed place in Canada that he has nothing new to give except advice.
Gouzenko told the newspaper "the choice before me is either the conversation with United States officials or the safety of my family and myself.
"I choose safety, not because to do otherwise would be foolish courage . . but because I consider the safety of my family is not just a personal matter."
The Post-Dispatch said Gouzenkebel believes that to testify before the Senate committee "would endanger the disguise he has so carefully cultivated to hide his identity and new home, somewhere in Canada."
The story was carried in the Post-Dispatch under the byline of Gouzenko.
Gouzenko, who fleed the Russian embassy at Ottawa on Sept. 5, 1945, and was granted asylum by Canada, said "Canadian and United States security is also involved."
"In fact it has a direct bearing on the advice I had intended to give to the United States representatives. As I have already stated twice, I have no information I have not already given to the Canadian government.
"My reason for thinking the talk with the Americans would be worthwhile is because I can give advice which, if energetically adopted, would be much more important and bring much more practical results than mere fragmentary information.
"I had thought that only by a personal talk could I convey such advice in detail. Since now it is clear that the talk will not take place I want to do the next best thing—to outline in writing the major part of my suggestion in order that it may be discussed in the open as it can and should be. . ."
Western Civ Subject Set for Discussions
Students enrolled in Western Civilization may still register for the discussion sessions to be held at 7:30 p.m. next Monday and Tuesday in 9 Strong.
Attendance is voluntary and students may register at the Western Civilization office, Strong Annex C. Robert Sternfeld, assistant professor of philosophy, will lecture on "Locke, Hume, and Rousseau."
In connection with the celebration an exhibit is being displayed in the main lounge of the Student Union.
Hillel foundation will celebrate the festival of Chanukah beginning with an address by Rabbi Marshall Miller of the Ohev Sholom congregation in Kansas City, on "Chanukah, Its History and Observance" at 7:45 p.m. tomorrow in Myers hall.
Chanukah, the festival of light, is celebrated in commemoration of the successful revolt of the Jewish nation against the oppression of Antiochus IV. Chanukah means dedication and refers to the rededication of the temple which was one of the first acts of Judah Maccabee, the Jewish leader, upon the completion of the revolt.

3. Slice off the end of the trunk diagonally at least one inch above the original cut end. Stand the tree in a container of water and keep the water level above the cut surface so long as the tree is in the house.

4. When you put a tree in a room take a good look at all electrical connections. There may be an exposed wire. If so, fix it.
E. A. McPearland of the Extension service, chairman of the project, said the day-long conferences would survey community adult education needs, and organization and conduct of local programs.
The Kansas Adult Education association will conduct six district meetings today, tomorrow, and Thursday on "Community Planning for Adult Education."
