Ike Offers Peace Terms
ASTE Sets Meeting Tonight
Washington —(U.P.)— President Eisenhower challenged Russia's new leaders today to prove their will for peace by ending the Korean war, lifting the Iron Curtain from satellite countries and joining a world disarmament pact that would outlaw atomic weapons.
He seized the diplomatic initiative from the Communists in a major foreign policy speech listing specific "deeds" the Russians can perform to demonstrate the sincerity of their recent peace talk.
The main points of the broad U.S. policy he sketched were:
1. This country is ready to enter into a five-point world disarmament treaty providing for an outright ban on atomic weapons, definite limitations on the size of each nation's armed forces, and "a practical system of inspection under the United Nations."
2. If disarmament can be achieved, the United States will join other countries in setting up a "fund for world aid and reconstruction."
3. "The first great step" toward a general world settlement "must be the conclusion of an honorable armistice in Korea." This should be followed immediately by holding free elections in a united Korea.
4. A Korean truce "would be a fraud" unless the Communists simultaneously call off their aggressions against Indo-China and Malaysia. The Soviet attitude on this question will show whether the Communists seek a genuine peace in Asia.
5. Russia can demonstrate good faith in Europe by (A) freeing Communist satellite countries to choose "their own forms of government"; (B) releasing "thousands of prisoners still held from World War II"; and (C) agreeing to an Austrian peace treaty without further delay.
6. The United States is willing to work for a "United Germany, with a government based on free and secret elections," on the problem cannot be separated from the question of lifting the Iron Curtain throughout Europe to open the way for "free movement of persons, of trade and of ideas."
"The hunger for peace is too great, the hour in history too late, for any government to mock men's hopes with mere words and promises and gestures," he said.
"The test of truth is simple. There can be no persuasion but by deeds." His five-point disarmament plan called for these steps:
2. A limitation on the proportion of industrial output that each country could devote to arms production.
3. International control of atomic energy for peaceful purposes and "prohibition of atomic weapons."
1. A ceiling on each nation's total armed forces.
4. "A limitation or prohibition on other weapons of great destructiveness."
5. Enforcement of the pact "by adequate safeguards, including a practical system of inspection under the United Nations."
Terrell Named To KU Position
The appointment of Capt. William R. Terrell, professor of Naval Science to the staff of Endowment association effective July 1, date of his retirement from active duty in the Navy, was announced today by Maurice Breidenthal Sr., president of the Endowment association.
Capt. Terrell has been commanding officer of the Naval ROTC unit at the University since 1948. Graduated in the U.S. Naval academy in 1922, he served in the Pacific theater during the first year of World War II and from 1944-46 was with the Navy department in Washington, D.C. He was commander of a service squadron in China in 1946-47.
Capt. Terrell will be concerned with soliciting private support for special projects at the University through the association, seeking to encourage support of such projects by business, industry and foundation groups, Mr. Breedenthal said.
"I'm delighted to be of further service to the University as a member of the Endowment association staff." Capt. Terrell said. "I feel that encouraging people to invest in the education of the young people of Kansas will be an investment in the future of America."
Physicians Continue On Spencer Autopsy
Final results of the autopsy of John Spencer, freshman football player who died Wednesday morning, will not be completed and revealed for two weeks, Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the University Health service, said today.
Microscopic slides are being made of tissues in Spencer's body to determine the cause of his death. These slides will not be completed and examined for two weeks, Dr. Caunneson said.
Students planning to attend the summer session and/or the 1953 fall session, should fill out former student cards in the registrar's office during the week beginning April 20.
This will enable the records to be ready for the students to enroll with a minimum of delay, James K. Hitt, registrar, said today.

Engineers Prep for Display
The 33rd annual Engineering Exposition will open for a two-day run Friday.
The immense display of student Engineer work will be open to the public free of charge from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday. The Exposition is the same weekend as the Kansas Relays.
The hours of the Engineering show are fixed so that they do not conflict with the finals of the Relaws on Saturday afternoon.
Twenty-two departments of the Engineering School and its affiliates will have exhibits in seven buildings on the west side of the campus.
The Student Engineering Council, which sponsors the annual event, has arranged to have two entrances this year to help visitors get through the exhibit more quickly. One entrance will be at the front of Marvin hall and the other will be at the front of Lindley hall.
Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity will have charge of the entrance. The fraternity members will provide decorations, a public address system and will hand out souvenir programs
Among the featured attractions will be a robot squirrel, one of the best amateur telescopes in the United States, a 1912 plane, a model aspirin plant, jet airplane engines, free airplane rides and models of homes and public buildings.
The 1,043 students in the Engineering school all work on the Exposition displays. To spur them to do their best work, Sigma Tau, national honorary engineering fraternity, offers a large traveling trophy to the department which presents the best display. If a department can win the trophy for three consecutive years, it is allowed to keep it permanently. So far, no department has been able to keep the cup permanently. The civil engineering department, which won the trophy last year, will be trying hard to win again this year.
The over-all chairman of the Exposition is Keith Hartell, of Plattsburg Mo., senior in electrical engineering. The publicity chairman is Farrel Schell, a senior in architecture. President of the Engineering council is Lyle Jenkins, senior in civil engineering.
