CHOW LINE—These persons apparently did not mind waiting in line for a good cause last night as they waited their turn to get at the ice cream and cake at the Prolepko ice cream social at Clinton park. The turnout was good, the ice cream and cake, donated by several church groups in Lawrence, went fast, everyone appeared happy, and the lepers will get the drug —promin. Net proceeds amounted to $325.

A one-hour parking limit will be enforced from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. After 3:30 the lot will be "first come, first served."
Parking Regulations Issued for New Lot

600 Attend Social To Aid Lepers
Despite cool weather, more than 600 persons turned out to eat homemade ice cream and cake last night in Clinton park, and helped to send the drug, Promin, to a Korean leper colony.
Jay Oliver, pharmacy senior and chairman of the Proplek drive, as it was dubbed, said the ice cream social had netted $325, which will buy 2,000 two-gram vials of Promin to arrest the disease of leprosy.
The drive began after Gene Stucky, '50 graduate of the School of Pharmacy, who is now stationed with the army in Pusan, Korea, wrote to his friends here about conditions in a leper colony which he had visited. The students of the American Pharmaceutical association voted unanimously to raise funds for the drug to be sent to the camp.
The Lawrence Sanitary Milk & Ice Cream co. gave five gallons of ice cream to the drive. Cakes were baked by wives of faculty members and student members of the APA.
Lawrence churches which donated ice cream and money for the social are the Assembly of God church, First Baptist, First Christian, Church of the Nazarene, Congregational, First Methodist, First Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodist, and West Side Presbyterian.

Three U.S. Planes Crash in Germany
Hemsbach, Germany — (U.P.)-Three U.S. Air Force planes including two C-119 "Flying Boxcars" crashed in flames near here today after a three-way collision.
The United States 12th Air Force headquarters at Landstuhl said the planes involved were two of the big twin-engined "boxcars" which frequently are used as troop carriers, and a jet fighter.
German eye-witnesses said the disaster occurred when a jet plane plowed into the two transport planes, sending all three to earth.
UN Truce Talks Face Deadlock
Panmunjom — (U.P.)— The Korean truce talks faced a breakup today unless the United Nations or the Communists made a major concession on repatriation of war prisoners.
The deadlock on disposition of North Korean and Chinese prisoners who refuse to return to their Red-ruled homelands became complete.
UN and Communist truce negotiators agreed only, at a one hour and 20 minute meeting, that their proposals for repatriation were completely contradictory.
There are two possible courses—a major concession by one side or the other, or an announcement by the UN that there will be an indefinite recess.
But it is indicated that the UN is willing to listen to the Reds for a few more meetings before taking any action.
The possibility that the UN, as well as the Reds, may make the necessary concession to break the deadlock is not ruled out by UN sources.
The possibility of a Communist concession was diminished somewhat by the speech in New Delhi after the meeting of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Mr. Nehru—leader of a country which has been proposed by both sides as one of five neutrals to take charge of anti-Red war prisoners—old his parliament that he likes the Communist repatriation plan.
During the review, 44 outstanding cadets from the three services will receive recognition for their achievement. Korean war veterans living in the Lawrence area have been invited to attend the review as honor guests.
A special reviewing stand will be provided for the children attending the event, and bubble gum will be passed out to them.
The chief reviewing officer for the parade will be Capt. William R. Terrell, retiring commander of the Navy ROTC unit.
Radio station KLWN will broadcast a running account of the event. Arden Booth, station manager, will be the narrator and will be assisted by Army cadet Bruce W. Zuercer, second year law student.
The commanders of the three ROTC units, accompanied by a cadet from each unit, gave a half-hour program before a Lawrence High school assembly.
The Air Force "Sabre Dance" from 8 p.m. to midnight in the Student Union ballroom, will be highlighted by the selection of the honorary cadet colonel at intermission. The winner, who was picked by F-86 ace Col. Royal N. Baker, will be crowned by Col. Lynn R. Moore, commander of the Air Force unit.
Tomorrow, Armed Forces day, an open house will be held in the Military Science building from 9 am. to noon, with exhibits representing the three services on display.
Two Korean generals will be on the campus at 9 a.m. tomorrow for an informal tour of inspection of the campus and ROTC facilities.
The officers, Maj. Gen. Chang Do Yung and Brig. Gen. Bak Byeng Kown, both formerly commanded Republic of Korea infantry divisions. They are now taking courses at the Command and General Staff college at Leavenworth.
