Ike Proposes Defense Costs
Washington—President Eisenhower proposed to Congress today a $5,800,000,000 foreign aid program he said is vital for the defense of free nations against the "great peril" of Red aggression.
The President's program for the fiscal year starting July 1 would be $1,800,000,000 smaller than the one recommended by former President Harry Truman in his last budget message.
"The blunt, sober truth is that we can not afford to relax our defenses until we have seen clear, unmistakable evidence of genuinely peaceful purposes on the part of the Soviet Union."
In a special message submitting his program, Mr. Eisenhower told Congress that:
Even before the President's message was read to Congress, the draft of proposed legislation detailing the foreign aid program had reached the Senate. Most of the total would go for continuing the buildup of free Europe's defenses. But some officials were impatient to help the French resist Communist forces attacking Indo-China and other hundreds of millions would be spent to bolster the Chinese Nationalists on Formosa.
Foreign Aid Chief Harold E. Stassen said the United States would take over about 40 per cent of the cost of fighting the war against the Communists in Indo-China.
"For France approximately 40 per cent of the cost of the Indo-Asian wars by force contributions in various formations in the United States," Mr. Stassen said,
As Mr. Eisenhower's message was being read in the House, Mr. Stassen and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles testified for the program at a joint meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations and the House Foreign Affairs committees.
What the administration is asking now is an authorization, not appropriation. Specific sums will be sought later to carry out the program. Mr. Dulles said it is just possible the full amount of the
But he warned that "anything appreciably less would be dangerous to our peace and security." The figure asked, he said, represents an amount considered adequate for the free world's defense while being at the same time "within capabilities of the United States and consistent with moving as rapidly as possible toward a balanced budget."
Mr. Eisenhower, using round figures, said $525,000,000 of the total would go for military aid. He said the remaining $550,000,000 would be spent for what he called technical and economic and development purposes.
Denver—(U.P.)-Cpl. Virgil Kaver, 13, of Marthasville, Mo., one of the wounded American prisoners released by the Communists on April 24, said today that he and other Americans captured with him were forced to march from May 18 to July 3 of 1951 before the North Koreans finally called a halt at a mining camp near Pyongyang.
authorization will not be asked in outright appropriations.
Freed Prisoner Describes March
Cpl. Kaver is in Fitzsimons hospital here for medical treatment before being sent home.
He said he and others were forced to surrender when the Reds surrounded their entire battalion. "We didn't have a chance," he said.
Cpl. Kaver said that on the forced march the Reds "showed us off like a fisherman would show off a mess of prize trout."
"Quite a few of the guys dropped out on the march. I suppose they were killed. I was clubbed in the back when I tried to help a fallen comrade," he said.
The University in turn is granting Dr. Wright sabbatical leave for the year.
Wright Gets 2nd Ford Gift
Dr. Herbert F. Wright, professor of psychology, has been awarded a 1953-54 study fellowship by the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education.
Dr. Wright will make his headquarters at KU during the fall and will study literature on the teaching of psychology and conduct a general review of recent writings in psychology.
He is the second KU professor to receive a Ford Fellowship this year, the other being Dr. Hilden Gibson, chairman of the human relations department.
During the year Dr. Wright will investigate problems in the teaching of psychology, particularly the task of introducing students to the subject.
He also will visit Michigan, Yale, and Cornell universities which have special programs for introducing students to psychology. His second semester plans are not complete but he will continue the library research.
Applications Ready For AWS Award
The Ford grants, which cover expenses of research and reimburse the fellow for lost salary, have improved teaching as their goal.
Application blanks are available in the dean of women's office for the Associated Women Student Memorial scholarship.
Any woman student who has been enrolled for at least one semester is eligible to apply for the scholarship, set up by the AWS in memory of women students who have died while attending KU.
Applications must be returned by 5 p.m. Monday to the dean of women's office.
Coeds Use Library to Check Crop of Available KU Males
By VELMA GASTON
Most women go to the library to study. But there are always a few like Susie Coed who go to peek over the top of a book at available males.
The pharmacy student peers through dark-rimmed specs at a thick volume containing silly little drawings. He manages to concentrate
Topeka—(U.P.)-The Kansas Commission of Revenue and Taxation reports that income tax collections jumped 17.17 per cent this April over the same month last year.
The three were tracking a Mau Mau suspect who led them to a house in the Bahat district. Terrorists hidden in an adjoining house opened fire on them.
State Income Taxes Reported Up in April
Receipts this year totaled $3,858,-477.26, compared to $3,292,959.58 for the previous April.
Nairobi, Kenya (U.P.)-Two African policemen were killed and a third was seriously injured last night when they fell into a Mau Mau terrorists' trap on the outskirts of this colonial capital.

Andrews Sisters Reconciled After 'Business Squabble'
Hollywood—(U,P)—The Andrews sisters have been reconciled after a "business squabble" that threatened to split up the famed singing trio, a spokesman for the sisters said today. The rift developed recently when Patti, the soloist in the group, asked for a different financial and working arrangement, the spokesman said.
Law Professor Speaks
Charles Oldfather, assistant professor of law, was speaker Monday at the Clark County Teachers meeting held in Englewood.
on his book learnin' and forget the surroundings. When he ignores Susie she quickly labels him as a creature who reads the dictionary for entertainment.
The rough athletic-looking physical education major has yet to slight her when he strolls into the library on one of his occasional visits. He carefully admires her and then settles down for his afternoon nap.
It certainly would be a dull life for Susie if all males were pharmacy students.
Susie looks around for a more attentive male.
Buried beneath a load of Congressional Records she detects a law major. This "shyster" could find the same books in the law library but the law library lacks Susie.
After a quick glance she decides he's too occupied to be exciting and she begins concentrating on a business major who strays into the library to find a copy of the latest economic theory. Having seen the attractive coed, he's ready to put over a big deal with her instead.
However, Susie sees a medical student approaching. The "doc", after carefully checking her anatomy, buries himself in his bacteriology textbook. Susie has heard so many tales about the hard life a doctor's wife leads that she would avoid a med student anyway.
She looks around for an available male in another field. Among a collection of slide rules, textbooks and the rubber hose he must carry for protection against lawyers, Susie finds an alert-looking engineer.
Before she can fight her way through the engineering equipment to talk to him, the whistle blows. All surrounding males dash out the door.
It's lucky Susie is only a freshman and not a graduating senior, who must make every hour and male count.
