U.S. Rejects Red Plea; Allies Face PW Talks
United Nations, N.Y., (U.P.)—The United Nations Steering committee today rejected Russia's demand for a renewed General Assembly debate on the Korean conference set-up.
U. S. ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., opposed at a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly Steering committee a Russian demand that debate on the composition of the conference be reopened here.
He said the United States, authorized by a resolution passed last month to act for the UN, is ready to meet "at once" with the Chinese communities and North Koreans at San Francisco, Honolulu, or Geneva to make final arrangements for the conference.
A Communist correspondent predicted today that Allied explorers will have "little success" in persuading 23 balky American war prisoners to return to the free world.
"It is my impression that these men have made a logical decision against the American way of life," said Wilfred Burchett, correspondent for the Paris L'Humanite.
purchett had earlier disclosed that more than 300 South Koreans and one British prisoner had joined the movement embracing the Communist way of life.
He said three of the Americans were Negroes. He described the reluctant Americans as "calm, intelligent" men who have made their decision after "months of deliberation."
"We have tried to persuade them to come." Burchett said, "but they want no part of America.
"It is my opinion that your ex-
plainers will have little success."
Burchett's description of the Americans as "calm and intelligent" contradicted the jurors' prisoners repatriated during the recent POW exchange.
The returning Americans described the men who chose to stay behind as "young boys" who did not know their own minds. They said that with one or two exceptions, the men were not overly bright.
Burchett said the 23 Americans had "a big horse laugh" over Gen. Mark W. Clark's statement that they should be reminded of their rights and duties as American citizens.
He predicted they would show no violent hostility towards American explainers and observers.
Reds Convict Roman Bishop
London —(UP)— Roman Catholic Bishop Czeslaw Kaczmarek was convicted of espionage for the United States today and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
The conviction and sentencing by a Communist military tribunal were announced by Communist Warsaw radio.
The Warsaw broadcast, monitored here, said one of Kaczmarek's aides, the Rev. Jan Danilewicz, was sentenced to 10 years in prison on the same charge.
A nun, accused with the other four of "espionage, anti-State propaganda, and diversionary activities," was given a five year suspended sentence.
Another priest, the Rev. Jozef Dombowski, was given a nine year prison sentence. Another, the Rev. Wladyslaw Wildlak, was sent to prison for six years.
The five were accused of violating secrets of the Confessional to obtain military, economic and other information, allegedly requested by United States authorities and smuggled to Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York, who, it was charged, acted as courier between the Vatican and Washington, D.C.

A Cappella Choir Reports Peak Enrollment of 123
The University A Cappella choir, under direction of D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts faculty, has completed its organization with an enrollment of 123 voices, making it the largest choir in the history of the University.
The choir was founded by Director Swarthout 20 years ago, when he was dean of fine arts, in order to give an avenue of expression to the vast literature of unaccompanied choral music. Since its organization it has played an important part in the musical affairs of the campus as well as appearing in concert in nearby cities on numerous occasions.
Competition for places in the choir was especially keen, it was reported. Mr. Swarthout gave separate vocal examinations to 98 different applicants before selecting the additional 57 singers to complete the choir. Members of last year's choir were permitted to retain their places without further examination by signing up in advance.
Camilla Klein, second year law, will be a candidate for vice president of the Young Democrats of America at their national convention Nov. 12-15 in St. Paul, Minn.

New Business Course Listed
Plans for a new course in the School of Business were revealed today by Dr. Leland J. Pritchard, professor of finance, course coordinator.
The two-hour credit course, "Financial Institutions," is unique in that its teachers will be businessmen nominated by the five financial associations that entered into planning the course.
These are the Kansas Bankers association, Southwestern group of the Investment Bankers Association of America, the Kansas Association of Finance companies, the Kansas Credit Union league and the Kansas Savings and Loan league.
"This type of course is unprecedented at KU." Dr. Pritchard said. "Often businessmen have been invited in to talk more or less 'off the cuff' in their special areas. But this is the only one in which businessmen are the professors.
"It won't be a text book course, but each guest lecturer will have a definite area of instruction assigned him to prevent overlap. The businessman teacher will use lecture outlines and assign supplementary readings as does our resident faculty."
"Financial Institutions" will be given in the spring semester. Although required only of finance majors, all business students were urged to arrange their fall schedules to permit enrollment next semester.
