U.S. Ups Ante in Pact; Gives $225 Million
Paris—(U.P.)-The United States has agreed to pay 40 per cent of a temporary 1953 Western Europe base-building program on which a high-level North Atlantic Treaty organization committee agreed to spend at least $225 million, authoritative sources said today.
The U.S. apparently upped its offer from 35 to 40 per cent of the 1953 share-the-cost program, in a final effort to push through the temporary base-building program and save the Atlantic Pact conference from becoming a complete failure.

Debate Team WinsTourney
The University debate squad added to its record the championship in the junior division at the Southwest college debate tournament at Winfield Friday and Saturday. Other than this, they have won two tournaments and taken second place in a third.
A total of 28 schools from 6 states participated in the Winfield tourney. Each team took part in five preliminary rounds, and the eight best teams in each division—junior and senior—went on to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.
The team of Bill Arnold and Hugh Bell, college sophomores, were entered in the junior division. They won their division by defeating the Garden City Junior college in the finals, and losing only one debate in the preliminaries.
The team of Lee Baird, college sophomore, and Bill Nulton, college senior, was entered in the senior division. They won four out of five of the preliminary rounds and were defeated by Southwest Missouri State Teachers college in the quarterfinals.
Nulton also received a "superior" rating in the discussion group; Bell took second place in extemporaneous speaking, and Arnold placed fourth in oratory.
his European colleagues into taking some action on the $425 million base-building program originally requested by supreme commander Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway had said the U. S. would pay only 35 per cent of the costs in 1953.
Last year the U. S. paid 42.8 per cent of the program costs.
The temporary base-building program would be a stop-gap until President-elect Eisenhower assumes office.
The fourth and last day of the meeting here saw an important policy debate in the full council with Lovett fighting Europe's desire to avoid maximum defense spending.

Court Finds StudentGuilty
The Student Court last night found one person guilty of parking violations, one not guilty, and held one case over.
Two others also charged with parking violations did not appear in court.
Alan Heath, business senior, who received a ticket for parking in the I parking zone, was found not guilty by a 6-0 decision. Heath won his case on the ground that he had a permit to park in the I zone even though it was not on his license plate.
Roger Collins, engineering freshman, who received a ticket for parking in the C zone behind Fowler shops, was found guilty by a 6-0 decision. The prosecuting attorney won the case for the school on grounds that ignorance is no excuse.
The case of Robert W, Atchison, graduate student, held over from the last court session, is to be held over again so that the defendant can provide witnesses or council.
Robert Boston, college junior, and Paul Krause, engineering sophomore, did not appear, so were automatically found guilty.
A $1 or $2 penalty will be levied by the traffic office against those found guilty according to the number of tickets they have had before.
Catholic Leader's Criticism May Cause Diplomacy Strain
Washington—(U.P.)—Catholic tempers flared and diplomats predicted a new strain in U. S.-Yugoslav relations today because of Marshal Tito's abrupt diplomatic break with the Vatican.
Six ROTC Cadets Win Commissions
Six Army ROTC cadets at the University will receive appointments as second lieutenants in the Regular Army upon their graduation in June, it was announced today by Col. Edward F. Kumpe, professor of military science and tactics.
A seventh KU cadet will receive a regular commission but he must wait until he becomes 21 in September of 1953. He is Gordon Eugene Moore, business senior, who will be commissioned in the transportation corps.
The seven were selected in a nationwide competition of distinguished military students. They will receive their commissions under the same circumstances and have the same career standing as the graduates of West Point.
This is the largest number of Regular Army commissions KU students have earned in one year. The six to be commissioned in June:
John Herman Evers, college senior; Eugene Charles Hall, fine arts senior; William Eugene Johnson, business senior; J. Knox Jones Jr., graduate student; Robert Merideth LaFollette Jr., engineering senior, and Christian John Mann, engineering senior.
The School of Fine Arts announced today that the presentation of opera scenes by the opera workshop, originally scheduled for this afternoon has been postponed until Thursday, Jan. 15.
Opera Scenes Postponed
Physics Professor to Speak
Max Dresden, associate professor of physics, will be the speaker at the meeting of the Psychology club at 7:30 p.m. tonight. His topic will be "The Scientific Method In Psychology."
Msgr. Thomas J. McCarthy of the National Catholic Welfare conference charged Yugoslavia is no different from Russia in its "ruthless" attempt to destroy organized religion.
Diplomats said the move was certain to fan opposition to the administration's policy of limited cooperation with Marshal Tito in the interests of European defense.
But the State Department remained silent. Officials were reluctant to talk in view of the explosive diplomatic and domestic religious overtones involved.
Msgr. McCarthy said America's 20,000,000 Catholics could be expected to react strongly. He said Marshal Tito's action was not only an attack on the church but a new "insult" to he revered Yugoslav primate, Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac."
Marshal Tito charged, among other things, that the Vatican interfered in internal Yugoslav affairs and that the recent elevation of Msgr. Stepinac to the College of Cardinals was "hostile and an insult."
FACTS Okays Jayhawker Action
FACTS political party endorsed Bill Nulton's Jayhawker proposal with an amendment last night at its meeting.
The amendment stated that Jayhawker editors not be paid more than $50 salaries a year and that commissions be granted only if the Jayhawker makes a profit and all commissions be granted on a percentage basis to the total profit.
Other business was an explanation of the ward system, endorsement of academic freedom discussed at the Big Seven student government conference, and discussion of the proposed national convention of progressive political parties similar to FACTS.
