Ike Plans Bigger Role for Democrats
Washington— (U.P.) —President Eisenhower is planning several moves to give Democratic leaders in Congress a bigger voice in the development of administration foreign policy, it was learned today.
Informed sources said his aim is to head off damaging criticism in the US and Europe, building bi-partisan support for key decisions in the hot and cold wars.
Under the plan, ranking Senate and House Democrats will be invited to the White House tomorrow for a top-secret discussion of military problems. They also will be asked to help draft a resolution repudiating U.S. agreements that might imply American support for enslavement of other nations.
Senate Republican leader Robert A. Taft, who charged the Truman administration with failing to consult the GOP enough, fully approved the idea.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Mutual Security Director Harold E. Stassen were called before the Senate appropriations committee today to show, if they can, how the administration can step up arms shipments to Nationalist China, South Korea, and Indo-China and still cut the nation's overall foreign aid bill.
Committee Chairman Styles Bridges (R-N-H.) said the group would press for "general equalization" of the military aid programs in Europe and the Far East. At the same time, he said the Truman-proposed $7.6 billion in new foreign aid spending probably could be cut by using $393.5 million already appropriated but not obligated.
Senator Taft said Mr. Eisenhower himself suggested the military briefings for Democratic as well as Republican leaders after learning how helpful his cabinet found the information.
The President was said to believe that with more inside information on foreign policy problems and administration plans Democrats will be less likely to batter decisions with what he considers ill-informed criticism.
Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) complained that Democrats were "informed but not consulted" on the decision to lower the naval bar on Chinese Nationalist attacks on Red China. That helped spark the free-swinging Senate debate on administration strategy to deal with the Korean and Indo-Chinese wars.

Rhee Fights U.S. Policy
Seoul, Korea — (U.P.) - Presiden Syngman Rhee said today th United States is responsible for in flation in South Korea and must agree to a "pay as you go" system for buying Korean currency.
He said the U.S. has paid $35,000,-000 for won currency and still owes $87,000,000.
The debt figure is based on South Korea's demand that won be paid for at the official rate of 6,000 to the dollar. The U.S. is pressing for a settlement at 18,000 to the dollar.
"This amounts to the black market rate," Pres. Rhee said, "What country uses the black market rate for its official transactions?"
"We stopped advancing won Dec. 15. That means no more loans to the U.S. We said, 'Pay what you owe, then if you need more won you can buy it with dollars.'"
The government called in all won this week and began issuing a new currency, the whan, pedded at 60 to the dollar. It was hoped the new issue would halt inflation.
Pres. Rhee said shortages of food among Korean troops was due partially to inflation.
He said the nation faces an economic crisis this year. Failure to stabilize the economy, he said, could bring South Korean collapse.
"The U.S." he said, "Will pay later if it does not pay now."
Pres. Rhee said two unnamed persons in Washington, one military, one civilian, are blocking payment of the debt at the official rate.
The government authorized an emergency ration of rice yesterday to help overcome temporary shortages during the currency exchange period.
Montell to Coach Women Rifle Club
The Lawrence High rifle team coach, Ralph Montell, has agreed to coach the KU Women's Rifle club at their Tuesday night meetings, it was announced last night.
Plans were made last night to send a five woman team to the state team in Manitoba. The team will be chosen from the high scoring members of the club.
The club is a member of the National Rifle association, making members eligible to earn their NRA ratings. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in small arms and to teach women the use of them.
Members are coached during the day by M.Sgt. Harold Swartwood, and shoot about three postal matches a week. Those for next week are with Montana State college, Pennsylvania State college, and Colorado A&M college.
The team is sponsored by the Air Force ROTC and the women are competing under the same conditions as the men on the AFROTC and the key shoot in four positions—prone, kneeling, sitting and standing.
Three trophies are awarded annually-one to the high scorer for the year and one to each of the high scorers for each semester.
Garrisons throughout the country were back to normal today after two days of strikes and protest marches against the extension of compulsory military service from 12 to 18 months.
Two draftees and three students of a South Jutland military training college were under arrest in connection with the mutiny. The five persons held were believed to have instigated the insurrection and will appear before a judge today.
Copenhagen, Denmark — (U.R.)— Preliminary investigations indicate a wave of mutiny which involved more than 1,000 draftees in Denmark's worst peacetime military crisis was Communist inspired, government sources said today.
Danes Protest Draft Extension
Danish army legal experts questioned 246 soldiers extensively yesterday and then ordered them released. The soldiers had participated in sitdown and hunger strikes and protest marches.
Military sources said that widespread Communist influence among Danish army enlisted men is "out of the question." But, they said, the Communists had taken advantage of soldier disatisfaction over the extra six months of military service.
Teachers' Home To House Visitors
The home of Miss Rose Morgan, associate professor emerita of English, which has been decorated and made suitable as a residence for visiting educators, will be the setting for an informal open house 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Miss Morgan came to the University to teach in 1910. In later years she studied at Oxford. She died in 1951.
Her will made the house, known by her as "The Hillside," the property of the University. Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment association, said the rent-free house will prove an attractive consideration to professors at other schools whom the University tries to secure for temporary engagements.

Canadian Artist Speaks On World's Art Values

Ike Offers Aid To Stevenson
Washington — (U,P) – Adlai Stevenson wound up his 3-day Capitol visit today, still a trifle overwhelmed by the enthusiastic hospitality he got from President Eisenhower and other-Republican leaders.
The defeated Democratic presidential candidate was booked to leave for Chicago by plane at 11:30 a.m. (CST). He plans to take off on a worldwide fact-finding tour March 2.
Stevenson came to Washington Sunday to mend his political fences among Democratic leaders in Congress and to get some background information from State department officials and diplomate for his tour.
He found the Democrats in high spirits, despite the party's defeat in the November election. And the Republicans were more than somewhat cordial.
The climax came yesterday when he had a "very pleasant" chat about the election with the man who beat him.
"The President was very cordial and courteous and offered me any help he could give on my trip," Stevenson said afterwards. "I can assure you there were no secret agreements, nor am I enslaved."
He said the President invited him to come back to the White House after his trip, though not necessarily to report any findings. And Secretary of State John Foster Dulles offered him the full facilities of the State department for the project.
"The Republicans are treating me so nicely," he quipped, "that I'm beginning to like Washington—maybe too much."
Dancer Burned to Death
Veracruz, Mexico — (U,P) — Francisco Izquierdo, disguised as a Russian dancing bear in a carnival here, was burned to death yesterday when a spectator lit a match to his tail.
Dr. Gaitskell was in charge of a UNESCO seminar in Paris, where 25 delegates exhibited a collection of their own countries' work.
"The United States, England, and Egypt had the most outstanding work," he said. "Europeans are at last realizing that United States art is both cultured and original," he said.
of the world through his association with UNESCO.
He thought Egypt had made the greatest progress in art. "Austria's art is still in the peasant stage, it is not modern," he said.
He said, "Without art, no child is educated." He noticed a similarity between American and Canadian art in that both countries used quite bold colors, and lacked the sensitivity of other countries.
Dr. Gaitskell said that Canada stressed cooperation rather than competition in art education, and development of the child is socially rather than for the production of art.
"The world has moved into a creative program, and there is an imbalance in society because the arts are neglected," Dr. Gaitskell said.
Italy's children are doing straight architectural or nature works, Dr. Gaitskell said. "Art education in England is very good—quiet, but based on the landscape and environment," he added.
He said Germany's art showed expressions of the past war in its discordant colors and jittery lines, while Japan's art was "interesting, although it is Western in expression, which is unnatural."
