Defense Projects Encourage Dulles
Washington—(U.P.)—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles arrived from Europe today and said he is "encouraged" by prospects of progress on creating a European Defense Community.
Mr. Dulles and Foreign Aid Chief Harold E. Stassen landed here at 8:30 a.m. (CST) after an 11-day unity-prodding tour of Western Europe. Mr. Dulles brushed aside questions regarding the possibility of a U.S. Naval blockade of the Red China mainland.
He handed out a 650-word type- written statement to reporters as he stepped from President Eisenhower's personal plane with Mr. Stassen, Mr. Dulles said he expected to see President Eisenhower today and report on the trip to seven Western European countries.
"Mr. Stassen and I shall report to the President and to members of Congress," he said. "At the moment we limit ourselves to saying that we are, on the whole, encouraged by what we have been told by leaders of the six continental European nations which have signed the treaty to create a European Defense Community.
"We do not minimize the difficulties confronted by those who have undertaken this great project, but we believe that there is a responsible determination to bring the project to completion."
Although he brushed aside questions on Formosa. Mr. Dulles was certain to meet sharp questioning from members of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on Far Eastern Affairs.
The subcommittee has asked him to appear as soon as possible to "clarify" President Eisenhower's action in freeing the Chinese Nationalists for attacks on the mainland.
On the European situation, Dulles said that by putting the military forces of six European countries into a single unit under the European Defense Community, unification would be created at points where divisions had been "disastrous" in the past.
Mr. Stassen, in another statement, said he believed that the way Mr. Dulles conducted discussions with European statesmen would be known in future years "as 10 great days of service by the Secretary of State to the cause of peace and of freedom."
CIO Attacks Taft Labor Proposals
Washington — (U.P.) — The CIO charged today that Sen. Robert A Taft's proposed amendments to the Taft-Hartley law "are not even a beginning" toward a "fair and just" labor law.
It said the changes would increase government "interference" with collective bargaining and fall short of President Eisenhower's promise of "justice and fairness to labor."
The study, prepared by order o. the CIO executive board criticized Sen. Taft's proposal to boost the labor board from five to seven members. It said the increase in size is intended to "pack" the board by adding more Republican members.

Brussels, Belgium — (U.P.)— Young King Baudouin, bitterly criticized for taking a French Riviera holiday in the midst of national disaster, was back at his Brussels palace today preparing for a tour of Belgium's flood areas.
Belgians Assail King's Vacation
The king had left for the Riviera after making only one brief visit to Belgian coastal areas where at least 20 Belgians died and an estimated $40,000,000 damages was caused by Europe's disastrous storm more than a week ago.
The 22-year-old monarch broke off the holiday a week early to return here yesterday. The railway platform was virtually deserted as his special coach drew in with blinds drawn.
Six University instructors will participate in the programs of the 41st annual meeting of the Kansas Music Teacher association today and Tuesday in Manhattan.
Socialist and Liberal newspapers launched an angry campaign, including cartoons, against Baudouin's trip. In the face of mounting public opinion, the Belgian government advised the king by cable to return to Brussels as soon as possible.

4 Persons Drown In Arizona Storm
Roosevelt Lake. Ariz. (U.F.)—Stormwhipped waves more than six feet high swept four persons off a small fishing boat and drowned them yesterday.
The sudden storm caught several other boaters unaware, and several persons were flung into the lake when their boats overturned. However, they hung on to their boats until rescued.
Jim Fansler of Miami who made unsuccessful attempts to rescue the four victims, said they apparently became panic-stricken when a large wave swamped their boat.
K-State Offers TV Station Plan
A means for making television reception possible in all parts of Kansas was suggested in a Kansas State college bulletin "Television in Kansas."
The bulletin, written by Royce G. Kloeffler, head of the electrical engineering department, and William R. Ford of the electrical engineer-ing staff at Kansas State, suggests that all stations throughout the state will be required to give all Kansas good TV reception.
Report Shows Trade Reverse
Kloeffler pointed out that TV reception will be possible in a large part of eastern Kansas by the end of the year through the Kansas City station now in operation and probable stations at Hutchinson, Wichita and Topeka, and suggests stations at Lawrence, Salina, Great Bend, Hays, Dodge City, Colby, Goodland, Concordia, Emporia, Chanute, Independence, Pratt, and Liberal to aid in the more complete coverage of the state.
The low level trend of Kansas retail trade dollar volume during the 1830's has been completely reversed, according to a report released today by the University Bureau of Business Research.
Since the more sparcely settled areas of the state could not support a TV station by advertising revenue alone, another means of financing these proposed stations would have to be devised.
Not only was 1948 dollar volume $3\frac{1}{2}$ times greater than in 1939, the actual physical volume of goods moved had nearly doubled.
Horace W. Harding, author of "Recent Trends in Kansas Retail Trade" examined data for 1929, 1935, 1939 and 1948. Trends and changes were charted for sales volume, number of outlets, payrolls, number of employees, and the number of proprietors of unincorporated retail businesses.
The bulletin suggests that a system, similar to the one in England, could be set up in which TV services might be paid for as one pays for water, electricity, or gas services. This would call for considerable adjustment in thinking, the bulletin points out.
If too few farmers surround a town to justify a transmitting station, and the area is too far from a station for good reception, Kloeffler suggests that the community might be served by a coaxial cable with programs from a broadcasting network.
It was officially announced in Budapest yesterday that Cyula Decsi, Hungary's Jewish minister of justice had been removed from his post.

One Application For Commission
Only one application has been received to date for the 1953 Naval Reserve Officer Candidate program which closes Feb. 20.
This program should be of particular interest to university men not affiliated with any officer candidate program or reserve unit, Capt. W. R. Terrell, professor of naval science, said. Candidates accepted in the program would receive a reserve deferment (1-D) from their draft board which would allow them to complete their college degrees.
The ROC program permits college students to enlist in the Naval Reserve, attend two six-week summer training sessions and receive a reserve officer's commission upon graduation.
The applicant must enlist in the reserve and then apply for ROC. If he is not accepted, he must complete the rest of his reserve enlistment.
Interested persons may obtain further details, and get help in making application at the NROTC office, 115 Military Science building.
