Weather May Have Spoiled Swiss Climb on Mt. Everest
New Delhi, India—(U.P.)—The Swiss embassy was attempting tonight to establish contact with the Swiss expedition which tried to conquer 29.002 foot Mt. Everest.
There were reports, current in mountaineering circles, that the Swiss party had been turned back only 50 yards from the crest.
Other sources said the climbers had reached the spire which no man previously had reached and lived.
None of the information reaching here was definite, and none could be confirmed until the Swiss party itself made a report.

The most dramatic of the stories reaching here was that the climbers had been forced to abandon the attempt—their second—when a tornado-like storm lashed the summit as the Swiss were within 50 yards of the top.
This account said the eighth and last Swiss camp had been established at 28,850 feet by two members of the Swiss expedition which tried and failed to conquer the world's highest mountain last spring.
dition started the trip back down the treacherous, snow-capped mountain in the face of deteriorating weather which made another attempt look hopeless.
The report said the present expe-
All Must Fight Prejudice, Hillel Speaker Tells Group
Expert mountaineers pointed out that 28,000 feet is near the limit of human endurance, even with oxygen. It was unlikely, they said, that the Swiss climbers would make two attempts to conquer the peak from that height.
A special correspondent for the New Delhi Statesman, in his latest dispatch on the climb, said the Swiss team got within 150 feet of the top before turning back.
"Understanding and alleviation of antisemitism require the aid of all branches of the social sciences—not just psychology and psychiatry." Dr. Sigmund Gundle, Student Health service psychiatrist, told members of Hillel foundation last night.
However, the Swiss embassy called a press conference to say it had absolutely no information on the final progress of the expedition and did not know whether or not the last leg of the climb had ended in success.
The Jew is misunderstood by society primarily because of his cultural and physical peculiarities and his "foreignness," Dr. Gundle said, pointing out that because the Jewish people retain their ancient divine customs, they are thought vague and mystical.
A revolutionary mood—discontent
Chicago — (U.P.) — The Chicago Sun-Times said in a news story today that "top officials" in Washington have "reaffirmed that Gen. Mark Clark has requested three or four more divisions for Korea."
Troop Demand In Korea Told
The story, written by Sun-Times Washington reporter Frederick Kuh, did not say who the top officials were.
The newspaper recently carried another dispatch by Mr. Kuh which said that when President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower goes to Korea he will be met by a plea from Gen. Clark for more troops-probably three or four divisions.
Mr. Kuh's story said "there appears to be some question" whether such a request would have come through Gen. Clark or through Eighth Army Commander Gen. James Van Fleet.
The Sun-Times said today that "reporters were left with the impression that such denials may hinge on technicalities."
Gen. Clark said in. Tokyo that stories saying he has asked for more troops "are without foundation in fact."
"A high military official said as long ago as September that Gen. Van Fleet had notified the defense department that he would be asking for more divisions for an offensive against the Communists," Mr. Kuh's story said.
"According to Pentagon officials, Gen. Van Fleet's headquarters was bitter about the opening of armistice negotiations in July, 1951, feeling the Allies had the Communists 'on the ropes.'"
Pat Read, Lawrence dealer in Indian jewelry and handicraft, spoke to the Engineerettes last night on old Indian jewelry. Mr. Read described the making of the jewelry and showed samples.

of the masses—and a Jewish cultural life sharply separated from the host country's culture are two conditions cited by Dr. Gundle as breeding antisemitism. These conditions were present in Germany during the Hitler regime when thousands of Jews were persecuted, he added.
The psychology of the non-Jew makes him see the Jew as a scapegoat and he projects his own faults onto the Jew, resulting in irrational social behavior, Dr. Gundle said.
Bronze Name List Put in Campanile
Four large bronze plates, in memory of the late Stanley C. Schwahn of Lawrence, have been installed in the Memorial Campanile to list the names of the 53 bell donors and commemorate those in whose honor the bells were given.
Friends of Mr. Schwahn, many of them theater men in Kansas and Missouri, gave nearly $1,400 for the plaques, each two feet by five feet. Beside each donor on the list is a small replica of the bell giving the note of the bell.
Mr. Schwahn became intensely interested in the KU Campanile when he visited the Bok tower in Florida while at the Orange bowl game in 1948. He was one of the first bell ringers for the KU tower, but died in 1948 before it was constructed.

Denver—(U.P.)—Attempts at censorship of news and limitations on freedom of information were listed here today as among the top problems facing the press of the world.
The theme of the 33rd annual convention of Sigma Delta Chi, "A Free World Needs a Free Press," was sounded by Charles C. Clayton of St. Louis, president of the professional journalistic fraternity. The four-day convention opens Wednesday with more than 300 American journalists attending.
Mr. Clayton, editorial writer of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, said government bureaus which censor by "handout" are a menace to freedom of information. He pointed out that it's censorship if you print only what they hand out."
"Censorship takes many forms," he said, "withholding of news, secret meetings of public groups and information by 'handout' among them."
Mr. Clayton also said there is censorship in smaller communities on the part of local governing bodies. Other groups and frequently smaller newspapers are not well equipped to fight the encroachment.

Authorities said hunters were prepared for snow but not for the heavy fall that was recorded.
Phoenix - (U,P) - Clearing skies aided rescue workers today in efforts to reach an estimated 350 elk hunters stranded in the Mongollon rim area by the first snowstorm of the season.
Although hundreds were stranded, only one man from Phoenix has been reported missing.
The weekend storm left snow 4 feet deep in many places and struck as the elk season opened Saturday.

Sen. Taft Advises Ike On Selection of Cabinet
Washington—(U.P.)-Sen. Robert A. Taft said today he recommended to Dwight D. Eisenhower men for the President-elect's cabinet.
The Ohioan did not know if his selections would be accepted. Sen. Taft told a news conference that he acted on President-elect Eisenhower's request for suggestions. He declined to specify the men he suggested for cabinet posts.
At the same time the Ohio Republican said that while he is available for the Senate floor leadership he is "not running for anything."
He did not see any necessity for President-elect Eisenhower's intervention in selecting a Senate GOP majority leader. He said he believed Republicans in Congress would "work out an amicable solution" of the knotty problem.
dent at the weekly legislative meetings. Sen, Taft, himself, is. Policy committee chairman and he did not disclose if he would retain this post.
Sen. Taft did suggest enlargement of the group which traditionally represents the Congress at White House meetings. He suggested that three men from the Senate, the floor leader, the chairman of the Policy committee, and the chairman of the Conference of All GOP Senators consult with the in-coming Presi-
Sen. Taft, along with prospective House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr., will consult with President-elect Eisenhower in New York City tomorrow about the legislative program. He said he expected these matters to be considered:
1. The budget—and the question as to whether new legislation is required in handling it.
3. The Reorganization act, expiring April 1, which gives the President power to reshuffle federal bureau subject to a veto by the Congress. Sen. Taft said that the expiration date gave President-elect Eisenhower only a short time to act.
z. Taxation—a matter which Sen. Taft said he did not believe would be considered in opening phases of the new 83rd Congress, and 'not until "we know more about the budget."
