Old Tribal Jealousies and Suspicions Keep Europe from Political Unity
By UNITED PRESS
Events in Europe today move like a sluggish river.
The current is almost imperceptible, but week by week it may be measured and the direction remains the same. It is away from the high ideals set forth in dreams of a Europe unified politically and economically and back to tribal jealousies tied by war, from the stone axe to the final, blinding flash of the atom bomb.
This sluggish European river flows along a path cut through the centuries, and apparently it can be reversed only by the strongest sus- presses, and those from the outside, primarily from the United States.
For a time the United States applied those pressures and reversed the flow.
Then came our political campaigns and now the stale period while we wait the change in administrations.

Prof Gives Insight Into Civil War
"It is my belief that the Civil War was lost for the South before it began." W. W. Davis, professor of history, told the History club Tuesday night.
Dr. Davis, a native of Alabama, said that it was remarkable that the South won 65 per cent of the battles fought, and 50 per cent of the campaigns waged when it was fighting at a definite disadvantage to the North.
The greatest disadvantage was the lack of manpower in the South. "One of the greatest factors in waging a war is the adequate supply of manpower," Dr. Davis said, "and the South was fighting at the odds of 23 million in the Union to 9 million in the Confederacy."
The South also had a difficult frontier to defend, a poor transportation system, a weak government to organize the fighting, a lack of guns and ammunition, and an ever increasing shortage of horses and mules, he said.
40 Members Attend Press Club Mixer
More than 40 students, faculty, and wives attended the first social mixer of the Press club last night.
The party, which was held in the William Allen White Memorial reading room, included dancing, entertainment and refreshments. He held a freshman, gave a magician show during the dance intermission.
Evangelist Goes to Korea
The club is made up of journalism students and anyone taking courses in the School of Journalism. The purpose of the club is purely social.
Albuquerque, N.M. — (U.P.)—Evangelist Billy Graham said today he has made definite plans to go to Korea next month to conduct an vangelistic crusade among United Nations fighting men. Rev. Graham, who said he held announcement of his coming trip up five weeks, plans to leave from Los Angeles Dec. 5.
and military and finally for the political unity of Europe, a lion's share of the credit went to NATO Commander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Only Gen. Eisenhower, it was said, the man who led the combined armies of the West to the final destruction of Hitler, had the stature to persuade Germans and French to join the same army.
Next January, as president of the United States, Gen. Eisenhower will find much of his work to do over, both in France and in Germany.
This week, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, one of the architects of European unity, suffered worst political defeat in three years.

KC Lawyer Cites PatentAdvantages
"The history of invention parallels man's rise in civilization." C. Earl Hovey, Kansas City patent lawyer, told a group of 50 engineering students and instructors in Lindley auditorium last night.
Mr. Hovey said 85 per cent of our national wealth today can be attributed to inventions and the patents protecting them.
Mr. Hovey explained the requirements and procedure for patenting inventions, and what constituted an invention that can be patented. He said that an idea, although it may be valuable, cannot always be patented.
He gave several examples of rather strange inventions that received patents, including an ant-inseore device patented by a woman whose husband's snoring kept her awake; and an automatic hat tipper invented by a man who was too lazy to take his hands out of his pockets when he met a lady friend on the street.
Architects Initiate 10 into Scarab
Scarab, national professional architectural fraternity, initiated 10 men last night in a ceremony at Marvin hall.
The new initiates are James Hoefener, John Prosser, George Lund, Richard Eflin, engineering juniors; and Farrel Schell, Clayton Comfort, Lee Herborth, Dean Lintecum, Richard Anschutz, Robert Asbury, engineering seniors.
John Ise, professor of economics, spoke at a banquet at the Stables following the initiation. His talk was a satire on the American way of life titled "Too Much and Too Poor."
request for ratification next week of the West German Peace treaty and the European army pact.
Earlier, West Germany's major political parties had united behind a resolution declaring the forthcoming elections in the Saar illegal and refusing to recognize any Saar government resulting from the elections.
Both were expressions of dissatisfaction with the government, and implied rejection of the whole theory of unity.
University Daily Kansan
Thermal, Calif. — (U.P.)— An improved model of the sabre jet interceptor being used in Korea streaked to a new world's speed record of 699.9 miles an hour.
New Sabre Jet Raises Record
The North American F-86D interceptor was credited by company and Air Force officials with surpassing the official record of 670.981 miles an hour set in 1948 by an earlier sabre jet, the F-86A.
Capt. J. Slade Nash, of Edwards Air Force base, piloted the sleek, silvery all-weather plane in four passes yesterday over a measured course near Salton sea, 177 feet below sea level, in the upper Imperial valley.
The jet caried a full military rocket armament load and weighed 9 tons for the record-breaking run.
"There was little rough air to contend with," said Nash, "despite the low altitude of the flight at below sea level. The clear weather and excellent visibility helped make the flight a success."
While the course itself was only three kilometers (1.363 miles), the plane flew 40 miles on each of its runs to build up speed. The added mileage also was necessary to enable the plane to turn around and straighten out for each pass over the desert course.
A general electric jet engine powered the interceptor. The engine developed more than 5,700 thrust pounds which was increased about a third by an after-burner which utilized exhaust fuel.
The Air Force ordered the flight to test the plane's proficiency, said Col. Fred J. Ascani, director of flight test and development at Edwards Air Force base, where the old speed mark was set.
Although North American officials released the exact speed, they said it would not be "official" record until necessary information is forwarded to the proper national and international air authorities.
Sen. McCarthy told reporters he is "convinced" President-elect Eskewer will furnish Congressional investigators the government documents "necessary to clean out" Communists.
But he said his campaign will be "a lot different" with the GOP in control.
The Wisconsin senator, whose Communists-in-government charges have provoked controversy, is slated to become chairman of the Senate committee on government operations. He said he "assumes" he will head its investigating subcommittee.
"I don't think we'll run into any whitewash or coverup after Gen. Eisenhower takes over," he said.
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen, Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) said today he has "no intention of decreasing" his interest in Communist-hunting when Republicans take over administration of the government.
He declined to comment on possible Communist investigations by his committee because he didn't want to "commit other members in advance."

Sen. McCarthy also said he has "no present plans to testify" before the Senate Elections subcommittee, which is investigating whether he should be expelled from the Senate.
Asked what he would do if the subcommittee renews its invitation, Sen. McCarthy said: "I would be curious to know its aim before I would testify—do they want to expel me from this term or next?"
He accused the subcommittee of playing politics in its lengthy investigation of charges made by Sen. William Benton (D.-Conn.) that Sen. McCarthy is unfit to serve in the
