Van Fleet Leaves Korea As Taylor Takes Over
Seoul, Korea—U.P.)—The man who will lead the United Nations offensive against the Reds in Korea took formal command of the U.S. Eighth Army today.
Lt. Gen, Maxwell D. Taylor signed the document formalizing his taking over of command from retiring Gen. James A. Van Fleet today. As he did so, officers cautiously speculated about a possible UN offensive in the stalemated war which today had bogged down more than ever, with rain, snow and heavy clouds all along its 155-mile front.
No one would say the UN will launch an offensive, or even that it necessarily would drive to Korea's narrow "waist" at Pyongyang. Gen. Van Fleet, before departing for Tokyo on the first leg of his trip home, would say only that any offensive would break the stalemate.
By this, he apparently meant that either side could break the stale-mate simply by starting the fight again. In such an event, he said, the 8th Army could handle anything the enemy had.

Jet Fuel for Reds Reaches Far East
Singapore — (U,P)— The Finnish tanker Wimma, carrying 7,000 tons of jet plane fuel to Red China, dropped anchor off this British bastion today, but her uneasy captain refused to talk about his hot cargo.
Singapore authorities could not board the 7,717-ton tanker. Finland's newest, because she was outside port limits.
The Wiima arrived mysteriously in pre-dawn darkness. She had been unsighted since she passed through the Suez canal from the Ploesti oil fields of Romania.

demand a sharp buildup in UN air power.
One of the few planes to brave the precarious weather today was the Air Force Constellation that carried Gen. Van Fleet to Tokyo.
Boys' Home Thanks IFC
A letter of gratitude for old clothes sent recently to St. Francis Boys' home, Salina, by the Interfraternity council has been received by Walter Rickle, pharmacy senior and council president.
The clothes, collected from fraternity houses, were cleaned and sent to the home by Mrs. Orval Hixon, a member of the Episcopal church.
The letter from the Rev. R. H Mize Jr., director of the home, follows:
"The sending of the three boxes of clothing collected by the Inter-fraternity council is one of the finest things I have ever heard of a group of college fraternity men doing, and we want to express to you the great appreciation of the boys and staff of St. Francis.
"Should there be a personal 'thank you' owed to any particular member or group of members, be sure and let me have their names and addresses. We have expressed our gratitude to Mrs. Hixon for her share in the project."
House Passes State Office Bill
Four Republicans joined nine Democrats voting against the measure to authorize construction of a $9 million building at Topeka across the street from the State Capitol.
A bill was introduced by Rep. Worden Howat (Dem-Trego) which would require publication four times a year the name of every state employee and his monthly salary, and a report of all other funds spent by every state agency during the quarter. The report would also include an estimate of expenditures for the next quarter.
Topeka — (U,P)— The state office building bill was passed 97 to 13 today by the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate.
Rep. Kelso Deer, Augusta, introduced his bill for a three per cent severance tax on the gross production of oil and gas.

A Senate committee heard an assistant attorney general complete presentation of an "anti-gambling" bill at a morning session.

THE SHAME OF OUR COLLEGES
Are we a nation of uneducated people with college degrees? Do less than half of our students in college actually belong there? Why is today's campus the target of Communist propaganda—a hotbed of sports scandal—a marriage mart for enterprising females? Don't miss Louis Bromfield's shocking expose, "The Shame of Our Colleges."—
