Exchange Talks to Open In Panmunjom Monday
Forces Prepare for POW's
Tokyo—(U.P.)—United Nations negotiators agreed today to a Communist proposal to open talks in Panmunjom Monday on the exchange of sick and wounded prisoners of war.
The Communists submitted their proposal in a note handed to allied liaison officers at the truce village. The note was addressed to Gen. Mark Clark, U.N. Far East commander.
At the same time, the Reds also formally submitted Red Chinese

Premier Chou En-Lai's apparent concession on repatriating all prisoners of war—which may clear the way for reopening full dress armistice talks.
A U.N. spokesman said after the meeting that the U.N. negotiating team will go to Panmunjom Monday to meet with Communist delegates. However, he did not make it clear whether the U.N. has so notified the Communists.
If negotiators at the Panmunjom conference table agree next week on the exchange, most, if not all of the food, clothing, shelter and medical care for the returning U.N. prisoners will be provided by the Marines.
In Seoul, officials said the U.N. command can be ready within a few days for the exchange. But they emphasize that something may go wrong, remembering the many times in the past when Communist "peace" moves failed to pan out.
A United Press dispatch from Munsan, 20 miles south of the Pamunjumnju truce camp site, said the 1st Marine division is preparing tents, hospitals, and administration buildings in readiness for an exchange of sick and wounded prisoners.
As for Chou's offer, it will be up to Clark to decide whether it is a "constructive" proposal which the peace talks are to resume.
At any rate, the U.N. commander said earlier this week that agreement on exchanging sick and wounded prisoners must first be reached before the U.N. will discuss resuming armistice negotiations.
However, the Marines were close-mouthed about disclosing their role in the event of agreement on an exchange. The 8th Army has ordered them not to talk.
5 Kenya Mau Maus Slain; Terrorist Hunt Continues
Nairobi, Kenya—(U.P.)-Native soldiers killed five Mau Mau terrorists in a running battle today and captured a man who promised to reveal names of assassins in the native secret society.
Company D of the 23rd battalion of Kings African Rifles flushed the terrorists from undergrowth in a dense forest on the Kiambu reserve and shot them before they could use their knives.
The same company, composed of African gunbearers under the command of European officers, killed 24 terrorists yesterday in the biggest single attack on the band of killers.
Only a few miles from the scene of today's clash, vultures hovered over villages where Mau Mau killers had burned and butchered almost 150 loyal Kikuyu natives.
Thursday, April 2, 1953
British military and civilian authorities took extra precautions as reports spread that Mau Mau fanatics have plotted a series of Easter holiday massacres.
Many of Nairobi's white settlers are carrying weapons for the first time, checking on door locks and preparing to spend Easter at home—with revolvers close at hand.
All key points inside the city—jails, power stations, banks and government offices—will be protected by reinforced police contingents. Army riot squads will ring the city.
March Farm Prices Slump
Mau Mau chieftain Jomo (Burning Spear) Kenyatta comes up for judgment before a colony court Wednesday—a danger day for white men and black men alike.
Topeka —(U.P.)—A state and federal agriculture report revealed today that prices paid to Kansas farmers during the month ending March 15 were 16 per cent below those a year ago. The March 15 farm commodity price index was 267 percent of the 1910-14 average.
Small Group Likes Concert
An infinitely small but tremendously appreciative audience last night heard the University A Cappella choir in its annual concert. Dean Donald M. Swarthout was director assisted by Clayton Krehbiel, assistant professor of music education.
The choir opened the concert with the solemn "O Vos Omnes" by Vittoria, and followed that with "Cantante Domino" by the 17th century composer, Hans Leo Hassler.
Dean Swarthout concluded the concert with a folk-song sketch, "Soon One Mornin' Death Comes Creepin'" by Gail Kubik and three spirituals, "I Just Come from the Fountain," "Give Me Jesus," and "It's Me, O Lord." These pieces featured solo by Dale Moore, Nathalie Sherwood, and Linda Stormont.
By RON KULL
Contralto Harriett King's solo in the chant "Credo" by Gredito canterino was greatly appreciated. And Kodaly's "Evening," with a solo by soprano Suzanne Armentrout, was also well received.
"Motet, Opus 29, Number 2" by Brahms was the next selection.

U.S., France to Join Air Corridor Parleys
Bonn, Germany—(U.P.)—The United States and France today accepted a Soviet invitation to join the Russian-British talks on operation of the three air corridors across Soviet occupied Germany to free Berlin.
Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, who has been attending a deans' convention in Chicago, will go to Columbus for the meeting.
Of the 90 schools in LAWS, 75 are expected to be represented at the convention.
A French spokesman said he expected the conversations to be renewed, with the United States and France participating, after the Easter holidays.
Earlier today Russia formally invited the two nations to join the Anglo-Soviet air safety discussions.
The invitation was extended by Gen. Vassily I. Chuikov, Soviet commander in Germany, in letters to U.S. High Commissioner James B. Conant and French High Commissioner Andre Francois-Poncet.
The air safety talks, which themselves were regarded as a conciliatory move when the Russians first proposed them, began Tuesday at Soviet headquarters. A Soviet proposal to expand them to four-power talks was made when the delegations met yesterday at British headquarters.
The proposal made by the Soviet delegation first was disclosed in a broadcast by Moscow radio of a dispatch by the Soviet news agency Tass.
British officials have maintained an unusual secrecy about their talks with the Russians since they started and this was one of the factors that led Western observers to expect a Soviet overture for a four-power meeting.
Sixteen members of the Associated Women Students and Miss Betty Liechty, director of Student Union Activities, will attend the national convention of the Intercollegiate AWS in Columbus, Ohio, this weekend.

Revised TV Bill Killed by Senate
The University's hopes for an educational television station faded yesterday when a revised bill died in a legislative committee. This committee earlier killed a $450,000 appropriation bill.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy indicated today that he would issue a statement in the near future on action the University would take.
The first proposed bill called for the dividing of the $450,000 appropriation between the University of Kansas and Kansas State college to be matched with $200,000 from the Fund for Adult Education of the Ford foundation.
The Senate Ways and Means committee refused to recommend the bill, and it died in the Senate. House members, however, indicated their approval of educational TV, and convinced members of the Ways and Means committee to reconsider the second proposal to permit the two schools to accept private gifts to build transmitting stations.
While no state funds were involved, Sen. Wilfrid Cavaness, Ways and Means chairman, said his committee feared the schools would "come back in future years with requests to operate the stations once they were constructed."
Sunrise Services Set At Haskell Sunday
All students are invited to a Easter sunrise service at 6 a.m. in the Strawberry Hill gym. In case of bad weather it will be held at Curtis hall at Haskell.
The Rev. Albert F. Bromble, pastor of the First Methodist church, will be the speaker. The service is sponsored by the Interdenominational Youth Council and the Lawrence Ministerial Alliance.
Phyllis Nehrbass, education junior, will sing a solo. Other music will be provided by Liberty Memorial High school.

engineering senate representante
Richard Sheldon, college junior, won the FACTS nomination and Dean Glasco, engineering junior, the Pachacamac - NOW - FOR nomination for All Student Council president as approximately 2,900 ballots were cast in the ASC primary election yesterday.
Bob Worcester, engineering sophomore and ASC elections committee chairman, today announced that a special primary will have to be run to determine Pach - NOW - FOR men's and women's candidates from the college because one name was inadvertently missing from both divisions on yesterday's ballot.
Heaviest voting was for the class officers. Worcester reported, with about 1,260 voters participating. There were not 2,900 actual voters, he explained, because about three-fourths of the voters using a party ballot also filled out a ballot for class officer candidate preference.
The ratio of Pach-NOW-FOR ballets cast to those cast by FACTS voters was 2.45 to 1, Worcester said, with figures 1166 and 476 respectively.
In the general election April 22, non-partisan candidates for senior class president will be Margaret Black and Nancy Canary, education juniors; and Mary Loveless, fine arts junior.
The treasurer for the junior class will be chosen from among Alice Force, fine arts sophomore; Carol Logan, college sophomore; and Kathleen McKee, college sophomore. Sophomore treasurer candidates will be Jane Henry, college freshman; Donna Tawater, fine arts freshman; and James De Goler, pharmacy freshman.
Worcester said the following, with the exception of the undetermined Pach-NOW-FOR college senatorial candidates, will appear as party-backed candidates in the general election.
