AF To Take Applications
An Air Force aviation cadet selection team will be in the Student Union Lobby May 26-27 to give information on the aviation cadet program and take applications from eligible college men.
The members of the selection team will be Maj. William W. Wilson, Capt. Frank C. Fuson J., S/Sgt. O. Berg, and S/Sgt. Robert J. Teterz.
To make application, students must be unmarried citizens between 19 and $28^{\frac{3}{4}}$-years-old, and have at least 60 semester hours of college.
Men making application for pilot or observer training will be given a preliminary eye examination, and if qualified will choose a date to report to the Aircrew Classification Testing detachment at Lawry Air Force base, Denver, Colo., for thorough mental and physical tests.
This expansion is made possible by the recent authorization by Congress for the expansion of the Air Force to 143 wings. Qualified applicants will receive a four-month deferment while waiting for assignment to a class at one of the 10 Air Force bases.
Weather and training schedule permitting, a B-47 six-jet bomber will make one or two passes over the campus at an altitude of 1,500 feet on these two days.
Ace Gives Credit To Jet Gunsight
Advance Jet Air Base, Korea—(U.P)
—The World's first triple jet ace said today Sakrebirets are chewing up Russian-made Mig-15s because the American planes have a deadly gun-sight.
Capt. Joseph McConnell of Apple Valley, Calif. stepped out of his Sabre, "Beauteous Butch" after shooting down two Migs and perhaps a third to become the top jet pilot of all time.
"There was no sweat on this one," Capt. McConnell told about 50 amateur photographers and well-wishers who crowded around him. "It was easy. It's amazing how you can hit them so far away."
"That gunsight sure is good," he added.
The "easy" kill was Capt. McConnell's 15th and third of the day.
An earlier one was disallowed because neither Capt. McConnell nor his wingman saw the spinning Red jet crash.

Newspaperman Defends People's Right to Know
By CLARKE KEYS
"The people have a right to know," said Robert M. White II, coeditor of the Mexico, Mo., Ledger, to the first annual William Allen White editorial conference Saturday.
Followed by statements such as "A newspaperman has opportunity beyond other businessmen to serve the community," by Dwight Payton editor of the Overbrook Citizen, the 200 editors, publishers, and editoria writers, proved to be a valuable starter for the series.
The conference toques stressed the community responsibility of the newspaper. Mr. White, in his talk on "Why Editorialists?" said the standard statement of "Freedom of the Press" has been changed in the last few years to "The people's right to know."
"I believe responsibility for the newspaper to let the people know includes accountability," he said. "Editorials have one test. To be worthwhile, they must build. If attacking something, the editorial must follow through with some constructive advice."
The discussion that drew the most interest was the letters to the editor panel. The panel drew out the striking differences encountered by the small town editor and the metropolitan editorial writer in using letters from readers.
Raymond A. M. McConnell Jr., editor of the Nebraska State Journal, and James Lawrence, editorial writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, stressed that writers to write in and almost always have more letters than they can use.
Luman Miller, editor of the Belleville Telescope, however, pointed out the difficulty in getting citizens in smaller towns to write letters at all and that the smaller paper seldom had room for them anyway.
"A person can't talk back to the
radio or television, so the letters column represents the only way everyone can speak." Mr. McConnell said

Clark, Harrison Confer On UN Truce Strategy
Tokyo—(U.P.)-Gen. Mark W. Clark and Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison held secret talks today on new United Nation command strategy to end the Korean truce deadlock on the war prisoner issue.
It was believed the far eastern supreme commander and his chief truce negotiator had exchanged views with Washington by radio teletype.
Robert D. Murphy, former U.S. ambassador to Japan and now Gen. Clark's special diplomatic adviser, took part in the closed-door ses-
Egypt Appeals For U.S. Help
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)-Maj, Salah Salem, a membré of Premier Mohammed Naguib's ruling military group, appealed today for American help in settling the Anglo-Egyptian dispute over the Suez Canal zone.
Maj. Salem, in an interview in the weekly newspaper Rose El Youssef, said he believed there was a "great American and British view on the issue."
Salem said the United States would "gain the cooperation and friendship not only of Egypt but of the entire Arab and Moslem world" if it upheld Egypt in the Suez dispute.
Anglo-Egyptian negotiations on the Suez broke down recently after Egyptians reiterated their demand for immediate and unconditional evacuation of British troops from the canal zone base.
It was disclosed meanwhile that Egypt had earmarked $16 million as compensation to Britain for loss of British lives and property in the "black Saturday" Cairo riots of Jan. 26, 1952.
The indemnities include $370,000 for the families of 11 Britons who were killed in the Cairo Turf club during the rioting. A sum of $1,275-$1,694 has been allocated to the stricture of the famed Shepheard's hotel.
The allocations were revealed as a dispatch from the disputed Suez Canal zone reported a marked easing of tension following the visit of U.S. secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, to Egypt last week.

sions in the supreme commander's Pershing Heights headquarters.
Gen. Harrison will confer again tomorrow with Gen. Clark and Mr. Murphy before returning to the Allied truce camp at Munsan, Korea, for the resumption at Panmunjom Wednesday of truce talks, now in recess.
Gen. Harrison called the recess last Saturday "for administrative reasons" as his delegation locked horns with Communist negotiators on final disposition of prisoners of war who do not want to go home.
There was some speculation that the United States wanted to seek some kind of an understanding with Great Britain, since Prime Minister Winston Churchill had endorsed, with reservations, the eight-point truce plan submitted by the Communists and rejected by Gen. Harrison on advice from Washington.
A reporter asked Gen. Harrison if he would talk about the changes for peace in Korea.
When Gen. Harrison arrived here yesterday, he refused to comment on the deadlock or his reason for seeking conferences with Gen. Clark.
"A soldier is never pessimistic," Gen. Harrison said. "He just takes what comes."
