3 Hollywood Actors Star in 'Courtmartial'
U.S. May Quiz 22 Prisoners
Pammunjom—(U.P.)—United States officers are free to question the 22 American prisoners who have refused to go home despite a deadlock which has interrupted the interviewing of anti-红 prisoners by the Communists, it was announced today.
At the same time Indian Lt. Gen, K. S. Thimayya, chairman of the Neutral Nations Repatriation commission, warned the Communists that if they do not agree to his terms as regards the questioning, he may set up the interviews himself.
"I would just allow every boy to walk through the explanation tent and put in his application to an Indian officer, Gen Thimayya said.
This would mean that each of the approximately 20,000 anti-Red prisoners could simply state whether he wanted to go home or to remain for good outside China or North Korea.
Gen. Thimayya made it plain that the deadlock in questioning the anti-Communist prisoners has nothing to do with the interviewing of the Americans who have refused to go home.
But so far the United States command has given no indication that it is ready to tr: to win back the allegiance of the 22 men.

Three famous Broadway, and Hollywood stars—Henry Fonda, John Hodiak, and Lloyd Nolan—will be seen for the first time in Lawrence when "The Caine Mutiny Court-martial" plays a single performance in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18.
Tickets for the performance are now on sale for $2.81, $2.55, $2.04, and $1.28 at the Fine Arts office. The 3.06 tickets are sold out. ID cards will not admit students to the performance.
"The Caine Mutiny," by Herman Wouk, has been on America's best-seller lists for the past two years. Twenty-three months after publication its sales soared to well over the million mark, and it is still selling between 2,000 and 3,000 copies weekly.
Paul Gregory and Charles Laughton decided to produce a stage play based on the courtmartial incident in the book for national tour and Broadway presentation. Mr.Wouth himself wrote the stage adaptation, and Dick Powell was signed to direct. He and Ms.Leigh are responsible for the recently successful stage presentations of George Bernard Shaw's "Don Juan in Hell" and Stephen Vincent Benet's "John Brown's Body."
"The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial" recently had its premiere on the West coast, and will play 67 engagements as it works its way across the country to Broadway, where it is schedued to open in mid-January.
Ornithologists Accept Fitch
Dr. Henry S. Fitch, associate professor of zoology and director of the KU natural history reservation, has been elected to full membership in the American Ornithologists union.
Although there are more than 3,000 associate members, the Union limits full membership to 150 scientists who have significantly contributed to the knowledge about birds.
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, professor of zoology and director of the Museum of Natural History, said Dr. Fitch's election probably resulted from his many papers on the ecology of birds, especially on the food habits of hawks.
Only three other Kansans hold full membership in the AOU. They are Dr. Rollin H. Baker and Dr. Harrison Tordoff, assistant professors of zoology, and Robert Mengel, who is in charge of the Ellis natural history library here.
Dr. Fitch came to KU in 1948 and since has devoted much of his time to the studies of wildlife in relation to their environment at the Natural history reservation northeast of Lawrence.

Artists May See Van Gogh Work
A University bus will be available for a trip to the Vincent Van Gogh centennial exhibition in St. Louis if 35 students want to go, Robert Sudlow, instructor in painting and drawing, said this morning.
Tentative plans were to leave at 12:30 p.m. Friday, stay that night in St. Louis, and return Saturday evening. A housemother would accompany the group.
Although the trip is primarily for fine arts students, Mr. Sudlow said others could apply by stopping at the painting and drawing office, 325 Strong, or by contacting Howard Neuer, fine arts senior.
Students must sign for the trip by 4 p.m. tomorrow. It will cost about $7 per person. Twenty students have already signed.
Nearly seven million dollars' worth of paintings by Van Gogh, Dutch artist of the 19th century, are being exhibited in the City Art museum. Forest Park, St. Louis.
De Cuevas responded by announcing he is improving his own ballet troupe. De Cuevas joined the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe, gained control and, in 1950, dropped "Monte Carlo" from the company's title.
"You just can't build ballets with mere money," a spokesman for the Marquis snapped. "Inspiration is what you need."

Westinghouse engineers are often called upon to come up with "tailor-made" motors for unusual applications.

Aristotle Socrates Onassis, 47-year old Greek-born Argentine shipping titan who purchased control of tiny Monaco's Society Des Eaines de Mer and direction of the principality's Casino, has plunged into culture in his grand manner and ordered that the world's best dancers be hired. Sol Hurok, American impresario, is doing this work for Onassis.
It has been reported that Hurok, manager of Nora Kovach and Istvan Rabovsky m i g h t build Onassis' troupe around these two, who stepped from behind the Iron Curtain in Berlin and chose "freedom to dance" in the West.
He announced de Cuevas is planning his biggest season in years, including a revival of "La Sylphide" to be staged by Harold Lander, a Dem
Monaco became a world ballet center before World War I when Diaghilev created the original Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.
Onassis wants his troop ready for the winter season, starting in December, hoping it will be a lure to help bring visitors to Monte Carlo.
The Marquis, husband of a granddaughter of the late John D. Rockefeller Sr., has scheduled a Paris season from now until January. In February, he will take his troupe to Cannes—30 miles from Monte Carlo.
Student Makes Offer To Help in Horse Theft
An offer to help kidnap Comanche, the stuffed horse, has been made to Montanans by a University student in an anonymous letter.
By TOM SHANNON
In a letter to the Lewistown, Mont. Chamber of Commerce, he wrote, "never, in all the time I have been on this campus has anyone here even mentioned the word 'Comanche' to me. When the headlines appeared in the Daily Kansan, the first reaction to it by most Jay-hawkers was 'Comache, who is he?' I should like to thank you for calling to our attention that we have a famous horse in our museum.
"I believe that Comanche belongs to Montana and that he would like it better in Montana than here. Since Comanche belongs to you, why don't you take him? It wouldn't be stealing him, it would be just taking back what belongs to you! Would it be possible to steal Comanche? Sure it would. Students can steal the University flag off the tallest building of the campus and paint a statue of the great lawyer, 'Uncle Jimmie Green' (with white bucks, yet) right under the nose of the campus cops.
"It would not be too hard. If you really want the horse bad enough to drive clear down here to get him there are plenty of fellows like myself who would be glad to help you load the noble creature on a truck some morning about 3 o'clock.
"God bless Comanche!"
A concession suggesting the sharing of the animal has been proposed by Jack McDermond, president of the Lewistown Kiwanis club, who said, "What would you do?" after reading a letter from Governor Edward F. Arn, "Don't you think a compromise on Comanche would be fair to both?"
"If you want to know who I am, have this letter printed in the Kansas. I don't give my name because I like going to school here. But if you like the idea of taking Comanche and want a contact here in Lawrence who knows how to jimmy doors and knows where Comanche is hidden, I would be only too glad to help."
Gov. Arn wrote Mr. McDermond,
Joyce Works DonatedtoKU
Mr. Spoerri will give the dedicatory lecture, "James Joyce and His Books," at 8 p.m. Nov. 19 in the Museum of Art. The collection of more than 700 pieces will be exhibited in connection with the lecture.
"The acquisition of this collection places the University library in company with Yale university and the University of Buffalo as one of the three best places to study the writing of this great Irish writer," Robert Vosper, director of libraries, said.
One of the three most important collections in this country of material by and about James Joyce, Irish author, has been given to the University by James F. Spoerri, Chicago, corporation lawyer.

"I regret that you are considering carrying your Comanche claim to the War Department, since we Kansans had hoped that you would recognize our right to retain the hero charger here in our own state where he has been enshrined for so long in the beautiful and inspiring academic atmosphere of the University of Kansas.
"Comanche was 28 years old when he died, having been in Montana Territory only about a month, so rather than being a bona fide resident of your state—when it wasn't even a state—he was in fact a tourist in a military sense.
"The charm of your great state is such that, during the long years of peace which have followed Comanche's death, thousand's of Kansan have gone there as tourists and will continue to do so in the future. I doubt, however, that you consider these folks as citizens of Montana because of their treading on your great soil.
"On the whole, before marching on the War department, you Kiwanians are implored that if it is wise to let sleeping dogs lie, it is also best to let a defunct horse hero stand, now that he has his feet so comfortably planted."
Mr. McDermond replied, "Much to my amazement, I find myself considering a compromise on Comanche and I think it is quite probable that all Lewistown Kiwians will agree.
"Your mention of the many Kansans who come to Montana each summer has me in the mood to bury the hatchet, despite the merits of our claims on the horse.
"Why not share Comanche?
"Kansas can have him in the winter and Montana in the summer.
"Since Comanche is in the Kansas university museum, there is really no need to keep him there summers when the students are gone.
"In fact, at that time of year Kansans are in Montana by the thousands enjoying our cool nights and balmy days, as well as our superb mountain scenery.
"So you keep Comanche in the KU museum in the winter, and ship him up here each spring to the museum at the Custer battlefield. We will return him to Kansas each fall in time for opening at the University.
"No one would lose, and everyone would gain, including Comanche.
"If you would be willing to consider such a logical compromise, I will be glad to try and convince Lowistown Kiwians that they should go along with it instead of carrying our protest to the War Department in Washington."
