Foreign Students Visit Lawmakers
One of the most impressive moments of the foreign student field trip to Topeka yesterday was when the group of about 40 students was introduced to the Kansas House of Representatives.
After each group of visitors was introduced, the representatives stood and applauded. "It was a good sign of democracy," Udo Schmidt, graduate student from Germany, said.
The students shook hands with Gov. Edward F. Arn.
Guenter Kreuter, graduate student from the Saar, upon visiting the Kansas Historical museum said he was struck with the realization of just how young this nation is. The museum dates back about 58 years
The tour through the Goodyear Tire plant was interesting to Robert Basse, graduate student from France, because of the contrast between it and a dye producing factory in his city.
"The factory has branches in the United States," he said, "and it wasn't until I came here that I saw the inside of one. At home it is so closed that even employees are not allowed to go in any section other than that in which they work."
The friendliness with which we were welcomed is characteristic of the attitude of the people all over America, especially in Kansas, the students commented.

'College Life Pays Dividends Kansas Minister Tells AWS
"Keep in mind a high sense of your religious, cultural, and social responsibilities to your home and community as university women and life will pay great dividends," the Rev. James H. Williams, minister of the First Presbyterian church in Dodge City, told the Associated Women Students in the final leadership workshop lecture last night.

A sense of responsibility is becoming an essential virtue of leaders in the modern world, he said. This responsibility is now shared by women, and takes on three special aspects for them, he added.
"You cannot go out into the world as a college educated person without it, since the social conversation of all thinking people comes ultimately to a discussion of religion," he said.
"Women's social responsibility is also to the community, because they can do more in a community enterprise than men could ever think of doing," the Rev. Mr. Williams said.
The home is also the basic point upon which to focus women's social responsibility, he said.
Almost of equal importance is a sense of cultural responsibility, the Rev. Mr. Williams said. Culture that students take from the University will enrich their lives.
"One thing we need so badly in America is culture," he said. "Take it down into your mannerisms, personal appearance, and minds and take your natural place as the cultural focal point of the home."
Reds Warn Allies To Expect Torture
Central Front, Korea—(U.P.) A Chinese propaganda broadcast at the front lines today threatened torture and death to captured Americans or South Koreans.
The broadcast was a sudden switch in the Red propaganda line. Earlier this week broadcasts offered television and radio sets to soldiers who would surrender.
Speaking in Korean through frontline loudspeakers, a woman warned that GI or Republic of Korean troops would have "their arms cut off." She said Communists would shoot them or "crush their heads with rocks."
An American infantry officer said the broadcast was "the most brutal" he had ever heard.
he had ever heard.
The speaker warned that "very soon we will have planes and bomb South Korea. Then the Koreans can go home to their mothers and fathers"

Navy Cites Korea Coast 'Grip'
Tokyo—(U.P.)-The Navy said today it has an "air-tight grip" on both coasts of North Korea, but has found it "folly" to engage in duels with Communist shore batteries.

Navy destroyers and escort vessels of task force 95 "maintain an efficient air-tight grip on both coast," the release said.
"The hostile, upper half of this peninsula brixthes with known armeniarch much of it mobile and all of it well camouflaged and entrenched," the Navy said in a release.

"This was an area heretofore so quiet that we struck by day and moved in close, for better observation and better results," he said. "So what happens? We return by night, blast away at enemy facilities from a comfortable distance, and draw hostile fire in return."
New Administration 'Stands Fast' on POWs
Washington —(U.P.)— The Eisenhower administration is standing squarely behind former President Truman's decision to resist Communist demands for forcible repatriation of Korean war prisoners.
Official sources said the admin<sup>c</sup>
istration has emphatically rejected
the idea of buying a truce by giving
in on the POW issue.
The Allies now hold 121,000 Red prisoners. The fate of 38,000 of these who refuse to return to their Communist homeland is the only issue
Sterling, Colo. —(U.P.)— A school bus, reported lost for more than 17 hours in a swirling blizzard with nine children and the driver aboard, was found at a farm house today and authorities said all were safe and sound.
Blizzard-Stalled School Bus Safe
The bus was reported lost yesterday afternoon during the worst blizzard of the winter. Whipping winds piled snow as high as 6 feet and all traffic was halted.
At 8 a.m. today word came through that the bus had been found by Sheriff Ernie Brown who battled his way through in a power tractor.
When the children, ranging in age from 6 to 15 years, failed to arrive on schedule at their homes, parents became alarmed. Later a county snow plow battled nine miles down a gravel road in the direction the bus was traveling but finally was forced to turn back and the search was halted until early today.
Brown said that when the bus stalled, the driver, Don Bollish, left the children in the bus and walked to the Carey home.
Washington —(U.P.)— Air Force officials today scoffed at the Navy's claim that it has developed the first effective inter-planetary space suit this side of the comic strips.
Air Force Scoffs At Navy Space Suit
They claimed that 10 years ago they had turned out a man-from-Mars outfit that was tested at 100,000 feet.
The Navy announced yesterday that it had produced the "first full pressure flying suit" ever made, giving pilots their own earthly atmosphere at extreme altitudes "or even in outer space." It said the suit had been tested at a simulated height of 70,000 feet.
blocking a truce at Panmunjom, Korea, where negotiations were recessed Oct. 8.
Many experts believe the Communist negotiators were hoping that President Eisenhower's expressed interest in ending the war would prompt him to reconsider Red demands that all prisoners be sent home at bayonet point if necessary.
All present indications, however, are that the new administration is not even interested in early renewal of armistice talks. It is concentrating instead on military and other pressures to make the Reds want an honorable armistice at a later date. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has revealed that a naval blockade, tighter allied trade restrictions, and other secret measures are under intensive study.
The current administration attitude is that the armistice talks should be resumed only if the Communists express willingness to:
1. Accept any one of various proposals put forward in the past by Allied negotiators to solve the prisoner of war deadlock.
2. Advance new proposals, of a "constructive" nature that would show if the enemy is sincerely interested in an armistry.
Fine Arts Gets New Scholarship
A $7,000 scholarship in memory of Mrs. Ada Bechtel Heuser has been established by her husband, Charles V. Heuser, Los Angeles.
Income from the fund will provide scholarships to students in the departments of drawing and painting and design. Scholarship, need, and future promise are the criteria. The department chairmen and dean of the School of Fine Arts will make the selections.
Herbert C. Schumacher, a junior in design, has been named the first Heuser scholarship winner.
The Heuser awards are gifts. However it is hoped recipients, if able, will repay the awards to enlarge the fund for the benefit of other students.
Mr. Heuser, an engineering contractor in Los Angeles and former KU student, started the fund with gifts to the Endowment association. Mrs. Heuser, who died in 1947, was raised in Hiawatha. She received an art degree from the University in 1906 and maintained an active interest in painting. Many of her works were shown in West Coast art exhibits.
British Ship Reported Sunk
Glasgow, Scotland — (U.P.)—The British trawler Richard Crofts was reported today to have sunk in the fog off the Scottish Outer Hebrides with a loss of nine lives. First reports said the captain was feared drowned and only three crewmen were known to have survived.
