2 Faculty Members Saluted In Little Symphony Concert
By WAYNE KNOWLES
University Daily Kansan
The Little Symphony orchestra saluted two members of the University faculty at its concert last night.
Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin, played Bruch's "Romance, Op. 42," with the orchestra in his last public performance before his retirement in June. The mellow bones of Geltch are so agitated that the warmly surging background of the orchestra under Dean Thomas Gorton's direction.
"Rhapsody for Flute and Strings"
by John Fozdro, instructor of music theory, combined sylvan passages with vivid movement.
The harpsichord was used effectively in Handel's "Overture to The Triumph of Time and Truth" and in Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major." The richly sweeping opening of the Handel overture contrasted with the vigorous rhythm of the second half. The Bach concerto was spirited Baroque.

'Learn to Dance' Club Organized
One of the many services offered to students by the new Union is the "Learn to Dance club."
Organized a few weeks ago by students interested in learning to dance, the club held its first lesson-meeting last Thursday. The students worked on variations of the fox trot, and experimented with jitterbugging.
Miss Shirley Hughes, physical education instructor, is teaching the dances. She said the students will continue to work on the jitterbug, learn the waltz, and take up any other steps the members are interested in during the three remaining sessions this semester.
The club is open to anyone interested in learning to dance or improving their dancing. Meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. each Thursday in the Pine room of the Union.
Laos Invaders Threaten Siam
Hanoi, Indo-China —(U.P.) Heavily-armed security guards were thrown around the royal palace in Luang Prabang today as Communist-led troops invading Laos flanked French defenses to push southward toward the border of Siam.
French officials here termed the new southward thrusts of rebel forces "alarming."
But they scoffed at rumors of a desperate enemy plot to snatch bed-ridden King Sisavang Vong from the Communist-threatened royal capital of Laos. The reinforcing of guards about his palace was called "a routine security measure."
Communist units stabbed toward the Mekong river boundary between Laos and Thailand after overrunning Tatom, some 120 miles southeast of Luang Prabang. The captured post is only 30 miles south of the air-supplied French bastion on the Plaine Des Jarres.
Military sources said it appeared the enemy meant to keep French Union forces bottled up in Luang Prabang and the Plaine Des Jares while setting up an 135-mile long axis from Paksane eastward to Vinh on the Vietnam coast of the Gulf of Tonkin.
Communist vanguards are only nine miles from Laang Prabang which is bristling with thousands of French Union troops.
Such an axis would cut Laos in two parts. It would enable Red Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap to supply his Laotian invaders by sea instead of by the 500-mile overland mountain and jungle trail northward to the Chinese border.
Directly in the southward Red invasion path was Paksane, which straddles the Mekong 80 miles east of the Laotian administrative capital of Vientiane.

Tenor to Give Final Concert In Music Festival Wednesday
Robert Rounseville, popular young tenor of opera, concert, films, operetta, and television, will present the final concert on the University Concert series in connection with the music festival at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch auditorium.
Mr. Rousseville, who has received equal praise for his dramatic ability, his versatility, and his beautiful voice, credits his dramatic flair to years of acting and singing in New York night clubs, revues, and Broadway shows—where a superior voice was only part of the necessary equipment for success.
Born in Attleboro, Mass., Mr. Rounseville is the child of a musical family, and the great nephew of the famous Lillian Nordica.
Mr. Rounseville sang leading roles at the New York Opera for three years and last year sang the title role of the Rake in the world premiere of the Stravinsky opera, "The Rake's Progress." He appeared in the technicolor film, "The Tales of Hoffmann."

Attempt to Bomb Nehru Train Fails
Bombay, India — (U.R.)— The Bombay government said today a "bomb" found on a railroad track shortly before a train carrying Premier Jawaharlal Nehru was due to pass was "nothing more than a harmless firecreeper."
Press reports had said the explosive, snatched from the path of the train by a policeman early yesterday, was a live bomb.
"Someone seems to have placed the fire cracker on the line to create a sensation rather than to cause mischief," today's government announcement said.
Earlier reports said the "bomb," found near Kalyan station 40 miles northeast of Bomby, was meant to wreck the Amritsar Express on which Nehru was returning to Bombay from a tour of famine areas.
According to the reports, an alert police constable saw a man place the explosive on the tracks and was able to snatch it from the path of the Express by the glare of the train's headlights.
Police were reported to be seeking two Pakistani refugees heard denouncing Nehru for his alleged refusal to visit a refugee camp in the Kalyan area.
