British Ships Charged With Carrying Reds
Washington—(U.P.)-Senate investigators were told today that British-owned vessels have been transporting Communist troops in the Far East.
Assistant Counsel Robert F. Kennedy told the Senate permanent investigating subcommittee that other ships owned by the same Hong Kong firm have been engaged to carry United States foreign aid cargoes.
Subcommittee Chairman Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) denounced the use of British vessels to carry Communist troops as "unheard of." He also said the United States policy in giving contracts to the same firm to haul foreign aid cargoes is "impossible to explain."
Former Professor Dies After Illness
Mr. Kennedy said ships of the firm, identified by the subcommittee as Wheelock-Marden Co., of Hong Kong, were carrying Communist troops along the China coast as late as 1952.
James H. Clement, 78, former University professor and prominent retired educator, died Tuesday in Independence following a long illness.
Mr. Clement received a degree in education from KU in 1910, and also held degrees from McPherson college and Columbia university.
He was born at North Georgetown, Ohio, and started his teaching career in rural schools in Ohio. He came to KU from the Junction City school system. Following his retirement he served two and a half years as high school supervisor with the Kansas Department of Education in Topeka.
Funeral services will be held Thursday in Independence.
Engineering Senior Wins Radio Honor
Melvin Spry, engineering senior,
has been named the outstanding
student in the KU Institute of
Engineering by the Kansas City
chamber of IRE.
Another engineering student, Louis Hughes, a junior, has received the honorable mention award. The awards, in the form of certificates, are authorized annually by the Institute national headquarters.
Spry, who also receives a year's membership in the organization, was selected on the basis of outstanding technical work in the electrical engineering department, and interest in the student branch. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity, and Eta Kappa Nu, national honorary electrical engineering fraternity.
OPTOMETRY IN THREE YEARS, IF YOU HAVE SIXTY L. A. CREDITS
In three college years, you can prepare for the attractive profession of optometry, if you have a minimum of sixty required Liberal Arts credits.
There is a shortage of optometrists in many States. Eighty per cent of the Nation's millions depend upon the Doctor of Optometry and his professional skill in conserving vision.
The optometrist possesses the dignity of being a professional man. He renders a service essential to the health and well-being of his community. Substantial financial rewards are obtainable from beginning of his practice. Optometry is specially attractive to women.
The U.S. Department of Defense and Selective Service grant optometry students the same consideration accorded medical students.
Chicago College of Optometry nationally accredited, is located in the heart of the world's greatest center for teaching in the healing arts. It is famous for its eye clinic. A building program is in progress. Dormitory accommodations, apartments and other facilities are available on a large campus.

The University, through its Schoo,
of Education, will continue its educational consultant and testing services and research for the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, Dean Kenneth E. Anderson said today.
KU to Continue Indian Service
The major goal of the long-term study is development of techniques for evaluating the minimum essential goals of education for Indian children. Extensive testing will be begun among Indian children in the Billings area of Montana and work continued in the areas of Aberdeen, S.D., Albuquerque, N.M., and Phoenix, Ariz.
Another important phase, Dean Anderson said, is the use of aptitude tests for guidance in vocational training, particularly selecting students for the commercial courses at Haskell institute.
Dean Anderson, Dr. E. Gordon Collier, director of the Guidance bureau, and Carl Ladd, research assistant, are working on the project for the University. L. Madison Coombs, educational specialist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, represents that agency and administers most of the tests in the field. Scoring and analysis of test results is done here.
Utah Cleared of Radioactivity
A $10,000 gift to establish a scholarship in chemical engineering has been made to the Endowment association by Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Marcy of San Diego, Calif.
Las Vegas—(U.P.)-Residents near the Nevada-Uah border were reassured today that there was no harmful radioactivity in a "fallout" cloud that drifted over that area after an unusually powerful atomic blast. A few hours after yesterday's dawn atomic blast on the southern Nevada desert, radioactivity was detected along border highways and forced residents of one Utah town to rush indoors.
Income from the fund will provide the Frank E. Marcy chemical engineering scholarship to be awarded annually to a senior, according to Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture. He estimated the grant would be about $500.
Mr. Marcy, a 1900 graduate of the KU engineering school, invented a device for crushing mineral ore The Marcy ore mill is used throughout the world and his fame in the mining industry brought him the KU Alumni association's citation for distinguished service. He is a trustee of the Endowment association.
Mrs. Marcy is the former May Finney of Lawrence a KU alumna. Their daughter, Mrs. Art Johnson of San Diego, was graduated in 1925.
Scholarship, character, need and potential usefulness to society will determine the award. Scholarship committee members will be the dean of the engineering school, chairman of the chemical engineering department and secretary of the Endowment association.

Negotiators Await Top POW Decision
Tokyo—(U.P.)-Gen. Mark W. Clark and his Korean truce negotiators waited today for a higher level decision on the latest United Nations proposal for ending the war prisoner deadlock.
The proposal, reported to be the UN's "final" plan on disposition of some 48,000 North Koreans and Chinese Communists held by the Allies, was believed to be getting its finishing touches in the UN.
Speculation here was that the UN proposal would go along with the
Indian plan approved by the UN general assembly last December.
If so, the UN would agree to a Communist demand in the Red's May 7 eight-point proposal which would permit a post-armistice political conference to settle the fate of Allied captives who do not want to go home.
Peiping radio, voice of Communist China, said answers to four questions would "decide whether there will be an early end to the Korean war." ___
