Congress Hopes Ike Won't Ask For High Taxes
Washington — (U.P.) — Congressional leaders were puzzled and per-turbed today by President Eisenhower's warning that high taxes may be the price of security in the H-bomb age.
They hoped that the President's remarks, in a major political address at Boston last night, did not mean that the administration will submit a stiff new tax program to congress next month, as they recognized the political ability that Elsachow must have been preparing the public for just such a move.
Capital quarters attached special significance to the statement because it was coupled with a warning that "the enemies of freedom" are now armed with "the most terrible weapons of destruction"-an apparent reference to Russia's recent H-bomb test.
Mr. Eisenhower's speech, delivered before a $100-a-plate GOP chicken dinner in the Boston Garden and broadcast to the nation by radio and television, included a ringing pledge of U.S. willingness to negotiate for peace or resist aggression. He also laid down a Republican political credo emphasizing the conviction that Americans are "one people" rather than a group of "conflicting classes."
It is known that the administration is considering proposals for a multi-million dollar air defense system to give American cities added protection against Soviet A-bomb or H-bomb attack. There had been speculation, even before Mr. Eisenhower's speech, that adoption of the defense proposals would upset Republican hopes for a balanced budget and tax relief next year.
The Chief Executive returned to the White House early today without elaborating on his declaration that "there is no sacrifice—no labor, no tax, no service—too hard for us to bear to support a logical and necessary defense of our freedom."
The election to the Accounting Hall of Fame committee of Ohio State university of Dr. John G. Blocker, chairman of the accounting department at KU, was announced today by the Ohio institution.
Dr. Blocker Elected To Ohio State Post
Dr. Blocker, who has no connection with Ohio State, is an international authority on cost accounting and is the author of a text on that subject which is used in more than 200 U.S. schools. Translations have been made of it in both Spanish and Portuguese for use in South America.

NOW IT'S A RUG—It may not appear like, but the work being done by Elizabeth Swigart, instructor in the design department, will soon become a rug. Professor Swigart studied in Belgium last year on a Fulbright scholarship.
Fulbright Studies Prepare Instructor for Fine Arts Post
Elizabeth Swigart, new instructor in the department of design, returned Aug. 26 from a year's study in Belgium on a Fulbright scholarship, and she can prove her time was spent profitably. A beautiful rug, a product of her study in Europe, is now on display in the department department.
A student at Brussels university, and at the Ecole de la Cambe, a school of decorative arts, Miss Swigart bought wool for the rug near the source of supply—in the Ardennes mountains in South Belgium. The wool cost only $20, but in the United States might have cost as much as $54.
First Miss Swigart had to clean the wool. Then she colored it, and began weaving, using a primitive upright loom. It took her four months to complete the rug, which weighs 12 pounds and is 45 x 65 inches.
"As for the design," explained Miss Swigart, "it's definitely abstract. There is no hidden meaning." Done in a yellow background, the design is colored in two tones of gray and white.
"I really enjoyed my year in Belgium," Miss Swigart said. "There were a total of 30 Fulbright winners there, as well as many other American students."
After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Kansas last year, Miss Swigart was
Her artistic work was given wide publicity in Belgium. At least seven newspapers there carried a picture of her in a hat, showing her at work at the loom.

Therapy Majors Take Jobs After Graduation
New Engineer Course Opens
A career in occupational therapy? It's a good field, says Nancie Greenman, occupational therapy advisor at the University.
Tuesday, Sept. 22, 1953
About 65 men are expected to be enrolled when the first classes of the new University graduate engineering program open tonight at the KU Medical center in Kansas City.
Anticipated demand for workers in the field is exceptionally high. The American Occupational Therapy association estimated in 1951 that the need for occupational therapists at that time was three times greater than the number following the profession.
Emphasizing her point is a list of June graduates, all but one of whom now have jobs helping to restore sick, injured, and disabled persons to a more normal life. The lone exception, an obvious one, is now a housewife.
There's only one limit to the occupational therapy curriculum at the University. Only women are allowed to enroll.
Graduates in occupational ther-
Jobs in occupational therapy, ranging from $2,400 starting up to $6,000, are available with schools, the Veteran's Administration, state or private institutions, or clinics, Miss Greenman said.

apy spend seven semesters in theoretical work, including six at the University in Lawrence and one in the University's Medical center in Kansas City to get their degree. Twelve more months must be spent in clinical training, according to Miss Greenman.
The opening class in mechanical engineering, in which 31 have enrolled, will be tonight, and on subsequent Tuesdays. Wednesday nights electrical engineering classes will be held. Chemical engineering courses will be held on Thursdays.
At the initial enrollment Thursday, 15 men signed up for both the chemical and electrical engineering classes.
The courses, co-sponsored by the KU graduate school and the school of engineering and architecture, will enable enrollees to complete all but six hours of credit toward a master's degree in engineering.
"Obviously," he said, "many firms are sending men to the classes to help them further their education and to make them better men in their businesses."
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the engineering school, pointed out that many of those enrolled for the night courses represent some of the largest industries in Kansas City.

MIG Flier Says Reds Will Enter Korea Again
The 22-year-old pilot, Lt. Noh Kenun Suk, who flew his Russian-built MIG-15 jet fighter to an American airbase and requested political asylum, said the new planes are being brought into North Korea by Russian pilots. He described them as the latest-type Russian jets—equipped with radar which the earlier types lacked.
Noh, a veteran of three years in the Communist North Korea air force, said Russian combat pilots fought American and other U.N. pilots in the Korean war and trained North Korean and Chinese pilots to fly their Soviet-made planes.
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—An escaped North Korean fighter pilot said today the Reds are convinced the Korean war will explode again and are preparing for it by flying new jet bombers, fighters and other war planes in North Korea in violation of the armistice agreement.
In Tokyo, the U.S. Air Force backed up his charges of armistice violations with reports that all Red jets presumably had been withdrawn across the Yalu river to Manchuria before the truce was signed.
Turn "Don't Needs" into cash thru Want-Ads.
An official Air Force release on Sept. 17, said the Korean conflict pushed the US Command in air-power pushed back out of Korea and with Korean air fields demolished.
Noh flew his plane from one of the supposedly demolished fields, a Communist air base near the North Korean capital at Pvangyong.
The pilot said that most Communist MIG fliers tried to avoid clashes with American F-86 Sabre jets because of the American planes' superior maneuverability and gun-sights.
Air Force officers said they expect to get invaluable new data on Russian air power from the MIG jet.
The plane should be a gold mine of information if brought to the United States for what would be the first American flight tests of
New Tax Cut PromiseMade
Washington — (UP)—Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey promised anew today that Americans will receive an income tax cut due by law next Jan. 1.
In a speech before the 79th annual convention of the American Bankers association, Humphrey also pledged again that the excess profits tax on corporations will be allowed to lapse at the same time.
His address left unanswered the administration's future plans for raising new revenue. He merely said "many further adjustments in taxes are now under consideration by the (House) Ways and Means committee and the Treasury for submission to the next Congress."
Humphrey spoke after Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson urged the bankers to extend help to farmer clients who face "adjustments" because of declining income. He asked the bankers to "stay with" the farmers.
President Eisenhower spoke informally to 5,000 ABA delegates and their wives in Constitution Hall. He welcomed the bankers to Washington for their first convention here since they had banked them the "help and promote interest" in national problems, particularly sale of defense bonds.
Of his administration, Mr. Eisenhower said it is not one "that thinks it knows all the answers." He said its leaders will not "sit in an ivory tower of lonely isolation and give words of wisdom and orders which everyone must obey."
the principal Soviet interceptor, it was said.
Through studies more thorough than any previously possible, experts hope to learn much about Russian research prowess, manufacturing methods, combat techniques and indicated future developments.
