Gen. Eisenhower announced that following his inauguration he would send to the Senate the nominations of Mr. Dulleas as Secretary of State; Mr. Wilson as Secretary of Defense, and Gov. McKay as Secretary of the Interior.
Mr. Dulles, long a principal Republican adviser on international relations, had conferred with Gen. Eisenhower at his Commodore hotel headquarters for two hours this morning and emerged smiling but uncommunicative.
He told a press conference that he had discussed all aspects of international relations with the President-elect—"We covered the waterfront," he said.
Mr. Wilson is president of the General corporation. He conferred with Gen. Eisenhower yesterday, but the conference was not made public until today.
Also in the Eisenhower suite at the moment were Sinclair Weeks, a Boston industrialist and financier who was finance chairman of the Republican National committee during the campaign, and former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota.
The announcement was made by Gen. Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, while the President-elect was having lunch with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.
Gov. McKay, 59, is a Salem automobile dealer, although he has been in public service the greater part of the last 20 years. He started his career as an official when he was elected mayor of Salem. From there, he moved to state senator from Marion county for two terms.
Mr. Dulles went into the Korean situation in his talk with Gen. Eisenhower, but would give no details. "We discussed various aspects of
He was state senator when elected governor Nov. 2, 1948, to fill out the unexpired term of the late Gov. Earl Snell, who was killed in an airplane crash.
"We discussed various aspects of the international situation," he said.
It was believed Mr. Dulles and Gen. Eischner discussed not only Korea but touched on other world trouble spots, including Iran, on which the President-elect was briefed during his White House conference with President Truman and his cabinet on Tuesday.
Gen. Eisenhower will get another top-secr briefing on military and diplomatic affairs tomorrow—possibly his last before leaving for Korea. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge III, R-Assoc (later Eisenhower) said, in a memo, the outgoing administration, will come here from Washington to make the report.

Gen. Eisenhower's clarification of his stand on Korea and the United Nations, as outlined yesterday, was considered significant in view of the President-elect's impending trip to the Far East.
An officer of a surface craft operating in the area said he intercepted a radio communications from the witness pilot whom he quoted as saying smoke lights were spotted.
News Blackout Imposed on Ike's Trip to Korea
"The President-designate of the United States promised the American people he would go to Korea. He is going to Korea sometime in the future."
"The security of the president-designate is of paramount importance to the people of the nation as well as to the peoples of the free world. In order to assure him all possible protection during his coming trip to the war zone in Korea, it is necessary to observe the following precautions:
1. There will be no published schedule of the trip at any time, including departure date, arrival in Korea or departure from that country.
Washington — (U.P.)- Defense Secretary Robert A. Lovett said today a news blackout will be imposed on President-elect Eisenhower's forthcoming trip to Korea for "security" reasons.
"2. No news reports of the president-designate's activities will be cleared through the Korean theater of operation until after the president designate leaves Korea.
Mr. Lovett issued this statement which he said had Gen. Eisenhower's approval:
"I sincerely trust that the American people and the American press, radio, television and newsreels will realize the necessity for such precautionary measures and that they will cooperate with the department of defense in carrying them out."
From Swamp East to Fort Mudge the word is out—"Pogo stays with the Kansan." For a time it had been feared that the l'ill possum chile was going to have to leave because of limitations of editorial space, but an enthusiastic write-in response from Daily Kansan readers has saved him.
Students Say Yes; Pogo Stavs at KU
For those who don't follow Pogo, the little guy and his friends are at present trying to identify a stranger in the swamp, Porky's alter-ego. In some quarters this is called attempting to analyse a schizophrenic personality. Who says you can't get educated from comic strips?
FACTS Report Shows Progress In Housing Fight
A housing report issued by FACTS housing committee today assured party cooperation in any coordinated housing program which will benefit the student body.
"We hope that this report may be of some value" the report stated. If in certain places it smacks of partisanship, we hope the reader will chalk that up to the pride which FACTS party justifiably feels in its record on housing over the previous two years" it continues.
The report is divided into two parts. Part I presents the present KU housing facilities. Part II reviews previous FACTS actions on housing.
Part I is divided into four chapters—"Adequate University Housing," "Upper Class Women's Dormitories," "Men's Housing—University Dormitories," and "Men's Housing—Co-ops."
Part I, Chapter I points out that 200 of 1,480 undergraduate women and 1,225 of 3,500 undergraduate
The report was drawn up by a seven-member party committee composed of Jane Snyder, engineering freshman, chairman; Will Adams, graduate student; Marese Ball, education senior; Will Gants, college freshman; John Handrahan, college senior; Bob Laughlin, college sophomore, and Frank Lindemuth, business senior.
Part II is divided into three chapters-"The All Student Council Housing Committee," "Actions, Summer 1952," and "Actions, Fall 1952."
ASC Housing Group Seeks Information
Dean Glasco, engineering junior, chairman of the All Student Council housing committee, is asking for any information students could or would care to supply on housing conditions to supplement what the ASC committee now has.
The information may be left in the organizational office in the Union building right of the cafeteria, in the Daily Kansan office, or will be picked up if persons will call Glasco 664.
men are now living in inadequate housing.
Chapter III is a report on McCook and Oread halls, the only University dormitory facilities for men.
Chapter II gives in detail the conditions of Hopkins, Carnruth, Monchonsia, Kanza, Templein halls, and the five houses of Locksley.
Chapter IV is a detailed report on conditions of the men's co-ops including Twin Pines, Hill, Rochdale, Rockchalk, and Don Henry co-ops. Part II, Chapter I relates how the housing progress got underway when early in the fall of 1951 the All Student Council voted to es-

KU May Get Airport After Bond Defeat
The defeat of a $91,000 bond proposal in the Nov. 4 election for additions to the Lawrence Municipal airport may put the control of the field in University hands.
The City Commission has directed City Manager Jim Wigglesworth to suggest that action to the board of regents as one alternative in several proposals for development of the airport.
The commission's action in the local airport problem stemmed from the fact that the land on which the municipal field is built is owned by the University and is leased to the city.
The city was attempting to take advantage of $63,126 in federal aid from the Civil Aeronautics authority when it submitted the bond proposal to the voters for the third time this fall. A legal squabble nullified one election and the proposal was defeated in the other before the issue was re-presented to the voters this month.
However, Lawrence voters in defeating the latest proposal seemed to echo the views of several local businessmen that an expenditure of such proportions for improvements on land not belonging to the city
SUA Carnival Set for Friday; Houses to Sponsor Booths
Preparations for the Student Union Activities Carnival are nearing the finished stage, and five hours of entertainment are in order for Friday night at the Military Science building.
Booths representing the work of $ \circ $
Booths representing the work of 28 organized houses will give Carnival-goers the opportunity to play balloon in games of chance. Contests will include ring-throwing, balloon-shaving, and snowball-tossing.
There will be dancing from 9 to midnight to music supplied by Harlan Livinggood and orchestra. The dance intermission will be presided over by Sidwil Hutchins, master of ceremonies. Hutchins will present the Little Man on Campus and his queen.
Voting for the queen will be done by purchasing tickets and indicating which contestant the buyer prefers. The four girls receiving the most tickets will go before a board of judges from the Campus police, who will name the winner.
Little Man on Campus will be chosen strictly by vote.
Admission for the carnival is 50 cents or 75 cents a couple.
Intermission ceremonies will include the awarding of trophies to the queen and LMOC and to the first and second winners in the men's and women's booth competitions.
was an unwise business practice. The inability of city and University officials to sign a new 30-year contract, necessary if the federal aid was to be granted, was another factor in the defeat.
Mr. Wigglesworth gave the commission three alternatives in this week's meeting. Either the city can (1) void its present contract with KU, letting the airport fall into University hands, (2) continue efforts to sign a 30-year lease, or (3) try to buy the present site from the University.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, had no comment on the commission's proposal today. He said the procedure for the University taking over the airport would be for Chancellor Murphy and other officials to discuss the situation and then attempt to obtain the approval of the regents.
The field, according to Mr. Wigglesworth, is in a "disgraceful condition." He suggested to the commissioners earlier that either the city should improve present facilities or get out of the airport business completely.
Another possible solution to the city's problem is the selection of another site for the field. In that advent, another bond election would be necessary in order to receive the federal aid.
comprehensively. Commenting further, Mr. Wigglesworth said there is hardly a town in Kansas with a population of 10,000 or over that doesn't have better airport facilities than Lawrence.
However, the present location about three miles northeast of the city, is termed by airport engineers as "ideal." The present field is operated, under lease from the city, by a private operator.
Mr. Wigglesworth also pointed out that the airports at Columbia, Mo., and Ames, Iowa, are operated by the University of Missouri and Iowa State college under successful arrangements. He suggested that the same arrangement here might be equally successful.
