Red Attack Costly, Ridgway Warns
Paris—U.P.)—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Allied supreme commander, said today his forces would suffer "grievous blows" if the Russians attacked within one year to 18 months.
"I do not mean they would be defeated," he added.
Gen. Ridgway, discussing the state of his North Atlantic organization forces at a press conference, said progress in building up the Allied bulwark against Communist aggression was encouraging.
"But I do not regard the progress as satisfactory in light of the mission assigned to me and in light of may capabilities," Gen. Ridgway said.
"I have never used the word 'sat- isfactory.' And if I had used it I wouldn't have meant it."
During a major summary of the situation of the forces he commands throughout democratic Western Europe, the Allied commander in chief was asked whether his armies in the direct path of a Communist sweep would be doomed to defeat.
"I believe that, in the hypothetical case stated, the land forces would suffer grievous blows." Gen. Ridgway does not mean that they would be defeated.
"The casualties will reflect the degree of combat effectiveness and that, of course, includes numerical strength."
He explained that the fewer the soldiers the outnumbered Western forces would have to stem a Soviet thrust, the higher Allied casualties would be. Also, he said, his best trained men probably would become the first casualties.
Gen. Ridgway refused to comment on a statement attributed to Marshal Alphonse Juin, his French commander on the vital central front, that in event of war the Russians could be in Paris within 24 days
History of Houses Shown in Marvin
Houses, U.S.A., 1607-1946, a photographic history of American architecture prepared by Life magazine, will be on display today through Jan. 16 on the third floor of Marvin hall.
The display of enlarged photographs on 47 aluminum panels is sponsored by the department of architecture. There is no admission charge.
First Houses, Colonial, Houses of the New Republic, Greek Revival Gothic Revival, Eclectic, and Modern.
The photographs trace the history of American architecture as illustrated by single dwellings from its earliest beginnings to the present day. The theme is developed and expanded in seven general divisions
Each section of the exhibition is introduced by a short explanatory paragraph.
The exhibition opens with maps and drawings of the importance of 17th century European building forms and their adaptation to changes in climate and materials in the new world.
Eighteenth century houses show the developing colonial style. Four leading architects, McIntire, Bulfinch, Jefferson and Latrobe, were chosen to represent the transition from colonial to Republic style.
After tracing other 19th and 20th century styles the photographs return to Richardson, Sullivan and Wright, the forerunners of the most creative contemporary architecture
Geological Survey Issues New Bulletin
A bulletin on the "Pleistocene Geology of Kansas" has been released by the State Geological survey. The authors are Dr. John C. Perkins, executive director of the survey, and Prof. A. Byron Leonard, KU zoologist.
This study of the state's geology of the glacial periods may be obtained free at the survey's office in Lindley hall, or by mail, for which there is a 25-cent charge.
after their tanks lunged across the West-East borderline in Germany.
He declined also to say whether Marshal Juin was presenting an official opinion or a personal one.
MIG Shot Down Near Yalu River
Seoul —(U.P)—An American Sabre jet pilot shot down his first Communist MIG-15 and the first one of 1953 today in a flashing fight over MIG alley.
Six Russian-built MIGs spotted two Sabra jets flying south of the Yalu river and came down to attack them. Only five of them made it back across the Yalu river after 2nd Lt. William R. Bowman, of Sarasota. Fla., destroyed one.
Earlier United States B-29 Superforts bombed and flattened twin Communist key supply bridges to the Korean battlefront—just as they were rebuilt after a raid three weeks ago.
The Air Force described the bridges in the Huichon area of central Korea as a "key link" in the Red supply line from the Kanggye gateway south to Pyongyang and the battle sectors.
The bridge was near enough to completion to allow traffic over it. Fires from tons of bombs indicated the Communists were moving supplies over the rebuilt bridges when the Superforts hit their targets. The attack was made by 12 medium bombers.
"We must have caught something on one of the bridges," said A/2C Ernest S. Dumont, of 637 Rhode Island st., Lawrence, Kan.
"Just as we turned off our target, I saw two fires, large and bright orange. A steel bridge doesn't burn," the gunner said.
Topeka Commander To Address Legion
Lt. Col. Alpha H. Kenna, commander of American Legion Capitol Post 1 in Topeka, will be the speaker at the annual past commanders meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the New City Building.
A new set of colors, both the Legion colors and American flag, will be presented to the post by the past commanders.
All veterans, particularly Korean veterans, are invited to attend.
The University's new eight-channel electroencephalograph had its first public showing at Watkins hospital recently.
The machine used to measure disturbances caused by physical disorders of the brain will detect 17 diseases or disorders.
Machine Detects Brain Disorders
Among diseases or disorders detected by the machine are convulsive disorders, brain tumors, head injuries with brain trauma, cerebral palsy, cerebral hemorrhage or thrombosis, central visual defects, hearing defects, disease associated with cerebral vascular disease, migraine headaches, birth injuries, and encephalitis.
The electrocephalograph is of little value in detecting neurosis, character disorders, emotional disturbances and intellectual disturbances, Dr. Sigmund Gundle, University psychiatrist, said. "These functional disorders of the brain apparently are not centrally located in the brain, but are disorders of the entire body," he added.
amplifying and recording electrical impulses of the brain, is based on the same principle as the electrocardiogram which records the electrical impulses of the heart.
The new machine, which provides a method of
To record impulses, a patient lies on a couch in a sound-proof room in one of two specially constructed rooms in the basement of Watkins hospital. Small metal tabs are attached to his head at eight points by extension cords from the machine. Another machine in the adjoining room records the impulses in eight wavy lines on a graph.
Bus Strike Jams Traffic In New York
New York—(U.P.)—New Yorkers going to work today fought their way through a subway traffic jam that may go down as the worst in the city's history.
Only about 800 of these machines are in use in the United States, Dr. Gundle said. The state hospital and Winter General hospital at Topeka, and the KU Medical center also have electroencphalographs in this state.
Striking bus drivers who caused the snafu meanwhile promised to stay off the job "until the flames of hell freeze over" if necessary.
An estimated $3\frac{1}{2}$ million persons who ordinarily ride buses to work became displaced persons in the city's already-crowded transportation system when drivers on 127 bus routes quit working. Although the strike began four days ago its full effect was not felt until today.
About 8,000 bus drivers, members of the CIO Transportation Workers union, struck at midnight New Year's eve against eight private bus lines. The drivers are demanding a 40-hour work week at the same salary they now receive for working 48 hours.
Company officials said they could not meet the demands without boosting the bus fare from the present 10 cents.
Michael J. Quill, fiery-tongued president of the union, said yesterday if the drivers' demands were not satisfied "we'll stay on the picket lines till the flames of hell freeze over."
The first public display of the University's machine was attended by members of the Watkins hospital staff, the staff members of the psychology music therapy department and the Medical school staff from Lawrence and Kansas City.
School officials told children in junior high and high schools not to worry about being tardy. In fact, they were urged to arrange not to arrive until an hour late to relieve the jam.
Dartmouth college at Hanover, N.H., will stage its 43rd annual winter carnival this year—the oldest such celebration in North America.
Senior Flutist to Initiate Fine Arts Student Recitals
During his junior year in high school he began studying the instrument with Lib Knowland, also a member of the Philharmonic. During his senior year he appeared as soloist with the philharmonic orchestra,
The annual series of senior recitals will be initiated by the School of Fine Arts tonight when Eugene Johnson, flutist from Kansas City, Kans., appears in Strong auditorium at 8 p.m. The program is open to the public without admission charge.
Johnson began his formal study of the flute during his first year in Wyndotte High school with Hale Phares, at that time a member of the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra.
He is the recipient this year of the Carl A. Preyer scholarship awarded annually by the Lawrence Women's Music club to the outstanding music student in the School of Fine Arts.
The program will include the Handel "Sonata No. 5 in F major," Ibert's "Concerto for Flute," the Mozart "Quartet in D major," "Piece for Glute Alone" by Ibert, "Aria" by Dozza, and "Petite Valse" by Canlet.
In his concert he will be assisted by Jacquelyn Beahm, pianist, Ruth Henry and Donald Stewart, violinists, and Wanda Murray, cellist.
After his discharge, he studied flute with James Pappoutaskis of the Boston symphony at the New England Conservatory of Music. He later studied with Arthur Lora of the NBC symphony. For the last four years he has been a pupil of Marcus Hahn of the KU faculty.

While at the University, he has appeared as soloist numerous times, including a performance of "Night Soliloquy" by Kent Kennan, for flute and strings, with the Little Symphony orchestra conducted by Dean Thomas Gorton. He also appeared as soloist in the Telemann "Suite for Flute and Strings" with the summer orchestra conducted by Gerald Carney.
Murphy Says Increase Due to GI Bill Loss
The bulk of the biennial budget increase requested by the University from the state legislature is needed to "make up the slack" between the curtailance of federal aid—in the form of an old GI bill provision—and former state appropriations, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said in an interview Sunday over University FM radio station KANU.
"We are asking for 12.3 per cent more money to operate the University for the next biennium," the chancellor said. Because of the loss of federal aid, this will mean an
2 Killed, 26 Hurt In Iranian Riot
Tehran, Iran—(U.P.)-Two persons were killed and 26 others seriously injured as Army troops opened fire on Communists today at the climax of three days of rioting.
Hundreds of others were less severely injured and about 200 persons were arrested in wild street fighting near the Parliament building in Tehran and the ancient holy town of Qum.
Police said one student believed to be a Communist was stabbed to death and 18 persons were seriously injured in a clash between Reds and rightwing Pan Iranians near the Parliament building. Most of the injured suffered deep knife wounds.
At Qum, one person was killed and eight seriously injured last night when the rioters refused to disperse and troops opened fire.
Troops were stationed around the Parliament and Pan Iranian club in Tehran.
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh ordered the immediate dismissal of District Police Chief Ahmed Shaari for failing to take necessary precautions, Shaari was later arrested.
Rioting under way for two days in Qum was said to have flared up following the return of Moslem religious leader Aytatellah Borghei, iran's "Red Dean," from the Communist "Peace" congress in Vienna, Austria.
Chicago —(U.P.)— A 30-year-old man jumped from the 14th floor of a YMCA building early today, lived through the fall and vowed, "I'll do it again."
Man Jumps, Lives; Vows to Try Again
Police said the man identified himself as Alexis V. Grekoss, 30, of Berkeley, Calif.
He was rushed to St. Luke's hospital where he was reported conscious. The nature of his injuries were not immediately known.
"I'll really kill myself if I get a chance," he was reported to have said as he was carried to the hospital.
Mr. Grekoss hit the rear end of a Mercury sedan parked near the curb of the downtown YMCA hotel on busy Wabash ave. The force of his 14-floor fall was so great that his body smashed the back of the car.
increase of 40 per cent in state appropriation," he added.
"In effect, the University has received federal aid to higher education in the compensatory fees formerly paid by the Veterans Administration to cover the administrative overhead, of enrolled veterans." Chancellor Murphy explained.
"This was often a large sum of money—several hundred dollars a year for each veteran," he said, which resulted in a "substantial amount" of federal aid.
The GI bill for Korean veterans does not have the compensatory fee provision, the chancellor pointed out, so that enrollment is swelling while financial resources are decreasing.
Specifically, this is illustrated by the fact that in the 1951-52 school year 6,000 students provided $11\%$ million in fees, but in 1954-55 a total of 6,200 students would bring in less than a million. The difference in fees results in what the federal government was putting in.
"We do not believe in federal aid to education." Dr. Murphy said. "In the coming biennium the state of Kansas and the legislature will have an opportunity to put this belief into practice."
Two other factors necessitating the increase are inflation and anticipated increased enrollment, he said.
The present operating budget is essentially pre-Korean, being passed in the fall of 1950. All inflationary increases have come during this budget, he said.
"In this new two-year budget, we must take into consideration past inflation and anticipate future inflation." Dr. Murphy said.
Concerning the last factor he said,
"By 1960 we'll be getting the first
sustained increase from the thousands
of children now in grade
schools," which will mean 9,000 to
11,000 students by that year.
Manila —(U.P.)—More than 80 natives were missing and believed drowned in the sinking of the motorship Durano between Cebu and Camotes islands, reports reaching Manila today said.
The 35-ton vessel left Mandaew on Cebu island Friday night for Poro on Camotes island, 40 miles to the northeast. Rough weather caught it in the Camotes channel and its rudder broke. Most of the missing were children, women, and old men.
So far, 77 survivors have been rescued and four bodies recovered. Rescue parties are still scouring the Camotes sea for possible additional survivors.
