UN Officials Hand Chiang Free Rein
United Nations, N.Y.—U.(P.)—United Nations observers generally agreed today with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's statement that he doesn't need approval of the UN to invade the Red-held Chinese mainland. $ \textcircled{*} $
Meanwhile, Gen. Chiang toured Nationalist army, navy, air force and marine training centers on Formosa today before returning to his headquarters for conferences on action
ASTE to Make GM Plant Tour
A field trip through the General Motors Buick- Oldsmobile-Pontiac plant in Kansas City, Kan., will be taken today by members of the University chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers. They will leave from Fowler shops at 5:30 p.m.
Newly-elected officers of the chapter were installed Thursday by Prof P. G. Hausman, chairman of the department of shop practice. They are: president, Gene Brunson, engineering junior; vice president, Joseph E. Gardner, engineering senior; secretary, Keith S. Cloepil, engineering senior; treasurer, Jerome Bergkamp, engineering senior; parliamentarian, Glenn Bernard Foster, engineering senior, and faculty adviser, Grant Snyder, instructor in shop practice.
John McGinley, field engineer for the Republic Steel corporation, gave a talk on the production and application of the steel tube. The talk was illustrated with moving pictures.
Mr. McGinley was entertained at a dinner in the Faculty club by faculty members and students.
against the Chinese Reds.
In an interview, Gen. Chiang stated that his forces are in no position to launch a major invasion of the Chinese mainland but that the Nationalists "cannot afford to wait until we are fully prepared." This appeared to mean action of some kind was contemplated soon, but not a major scale.
There was divided opinion on whether the UN would be compelled to step in if the Chinese Nationalists were aided by any other power—presumably the United States.
Some delegates feared, despite Gen. Chiang's belief to the contrary, that Russia would intervene if the Nationalists invaded the mainland. But others felt that Moscow would hesitate in view of the speed with which the U.S. took the initiative when the Kremlin's North Korean puppets invaded South Korea in 1950.
One school of UN thought, headed by the British, held that if any other member of the world organization helped or supported Gen. Chiang's invasion, it "would be entirely another matter."
Another segment of opinion, in which the Chinese Nationalists were prominent, pointed to the proven and continued aid which Russia has given the North Korean and Chinese Communists without being branded an aggressor by the UN. These sources believed a similar "non-belligerent" status on the part of the U.S. or other nations friendly to Gen. Chiang could not legitimately be condemned by the U.N.
Taft Says Aid to China Won't Increase Tax Burden
Washington — (U.P.)— The Senate Republican leader, Robert A. Taft, said today the United States can step up arms shipments to Nationalist China and other Asian trouble spots without increasing the overall foreign aid burden of American taxpayers.
He made the statement as Secre-
He made the statement as Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was called before the Senate Far Eastern Affairs subcommittee to present the current free-swinging debate on Korean war policy.
Mr. Dulles' aim was said to be to soft pedal demands for a Red China blockade, the bombing of Manchuria, and, apparently, the kind of major ground offensive advocated by Gen. James A. Van Fleet, retiring 8th Army commander.
Gen. Van Fleet kicked off a flurry of congressional controversy by asserting a major offensive now could break the Korean stalemate, but in Honolulu yesterday, on his way home from Korea, he said this didn't mean victory, necessarily, and that he "had better not comment" on Gen. Bradley's more moderate stand.
One certain factor in administration plans, however, is stepped-up aid for Formosa and battlefronts in southeast Asia. This was underlined when Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek said in an interview that he would need more U.S. equipment, air, and naval support to launch an invasion of Red China.
Sen. Taft's statement indicated that increased aid for Asia would mean less assistance for Europe, especially if it continues to drag its feet on the European Army plan.

New York—(U.P.)-Green-eyed Pat Ward said today she had suffered scores of beatings at the hands of Minot F. (Mickey) Jelke, but never left the 23-year-old oleo heir because she was "very much in love with him and afraid."
Beatings Bared In Jelke Trial
The 19-year-old call girl walked into criminal court building on the arm of her attorney to take the stand for another day of cross-examination, but paused in the corridor for a 15-minute interview with reporters, who still are barred from covering the detailed testimony of the lurid vice case.
Miss Ward, who is the state's major witness against Jelke on a nine-count indictment charging him with compulsory prostitution and living off the proceeds of prostitution, said there were witnesses to the beatings on several occasions. She said they happened many other times when she and Jelke were alone.
Britain, Egypt Plan Early Suez Pact
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)Britain and Egypt, in an atmosphere of extreme ordiality, today planned an early start on Suez canal negotiations now that an agreement has been reached in the Sudan dispute.
Winning Offensive in Korea 'Depends,' Van Fleet Says
Honolulu —(U.P.)— Gen. James A. Van Fleet says the chances of the United Nations winning an offensive with the men and material it now has in Korea depends on a "number of variable factors and circumstances."
Premier Gen. Mohammed Naguib said he proposed opening talks on the canal soon and British Ambassador Sir Ralph Stevenson welcomed the idea. Gen. Naguib said he hoped the talks will proceed at a rapid pace.
Settlement of the Suez dispute, last big controversy between Britain and Egypt, would clear the way for Egypt to lead the Arab states into an alliance with the Western Allies in a Middle East defense command.
"There are a lot of ifs, ands, whens, buts, whereas and hows to that question," he said on arriving here from Tokyo yesterday.
Gen. Naguib repeatedly has said since he assumed power last July that Egypt could not join such a pact until all British troops were removed from Egyptian soil.
Van Fleet said he never stated the
Van Fleet will spend a week in Hawaii before proceeding to the United States. He turned over his 8th Army command in Korea to Lt. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor earlier this week.
U. N. Army in Korea could be certain of victory if it began an offensive now. He did say, before leaving Tokyo, that a U.N. offensive with present forces could break the stalemate.
The four-star general refused to comment on a statement by Gen. Omar Bradley, Army chief of staff, that the U.N. would have to double its forces in Korea to launch a winning offensive.
