Ike, Nixon to Settle GOP Ticket Tonight
Aboard Eisenhower Special — (U.P.) — Dwight D. Eisenhower "whistle stopped" across southeastern Ohio today toward an historic meeting with Sen. Richard M. Nixon which will determine whether the young vice presidential candidate stays on the ticket.
The Republican presidential nominee and his running mate are scheduled to meet in Wheeling, W. Va. tonight.
Eisenhower's first stop of the day was in Chillicothe, Ohio, where he jibed at the fact that President Truman, who passed this way, had "merely given the people a 'whistle.'"
This was a reference to the fact that Truman's train merely slowed down as it went through here early this month. A goodly-sized crowd was at the station expecting to see the President as he passed through here enroute to Washington from his Labor day speech in Milwaukee.
Eisenhower did not mention the Nixon affair to the people of Chillicothe.
The candidate devoted his talk largely to protests against the high taxes and inflation. In addition to the high taxes, he said there is "sheer dishonesty in government"
He called for a top to bottom cleanup, urging the ection of Charles P. Taft as governor of Ohio and Leo Blackburn to Congress from the district. Both were on the platform with him. Eisenhower also introduced Mrs. Eisenhower, who autographed a number of cards when the train pulled in at 7:45 a.m. EST. A crowd of about 3,500 early risers was on hand to see Eisenhower.
Eisneower left Cleveland early this morning after making an impromptu speech from "my heart" to a misty-eyed audience in which he viewed Nixon as the kind of fighting man he prefers to have beside him, rather than a "whole boxcar full of pussyfooters."
Eisenhower had gone to Public Hall last night to read an address which he had prepared in his campaign against inflation. Instead he talked without text about Nixon.
He, Mrs. Eisenhower and close advisers had listened, in a small room near the hall, to the 39-year-old Republican vice-presidential candidate's 30-minute explanation from California of his financial worth over radio and television networks.
During Nixon's talk, Eisenhower took notes on a yellow-ruled pad on what his youthful running mate had to say about what he did with the controversial $18,000 expense account put up by wealthy California supporters.
When Nixon had finished, Eisenhower dictated a telegram of encouragement to his partner in politics and invited him to a face meeting in Wheeling. V. Wa.
Then Eisenhower, in a dramatic gesture, threw his prepared anti-inflation text to the floor and walked into the auditorium. There he found many women in tears. They had heard Nixon's words echo over a loud speaker in the auditorium.
"I have seen many brave men in tough situations," Eisenhower said. "I have never seen any come through in better fashion than Sen. Nixon did tonight."

Gen. Clark Holds Secret Session
Seoul, Korea-(U.P)-Gen. Mark Clark, UN Far East commander, met today with his top land, sea, and air commanders, but declined to reveal the reason for the high-level conferences.
Attending the conference were Gen. James A. Van Fleet, 8th Army commander; Lt. Gen. Glenn O. Barcus, 5th Air Force commander, and Vice. Adm. Robert P. Briscoe, Far East Navy commander, who flew to Seoul with Gen. Clark.
Gen. Clark said he expected to be in Korea for "a couple of days" and that he had "all kinds of things to discuss."
Even as the meeting took place, Chinese Communists repelled a savage, tank-supported attack on Kelly hill on the western front by soldiers from the 65th Puerto Rican regiment of the U.S. 3rd division. The Puerto Ricans were forced to give up after more than seven hours of heartbreaking fighting.
Discussing the recent battles for strategic hills across the battleline, Gen. Clark indicated he did not attach too much military importance to the Communist attacks.
"I think they have to probe to see what is going on," he said. "It is a fight for observation."
Gen. Clark said he also would confer with Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison, senior allied delegate to the Pamunjun jumce negotiations. It was believed Gen. Harrison would come to Seoul to sit in with the other commanders in the meetings with Clark.
Wichita Exhibition To Honor Alumnus
An exhibition of the paintings of Eugene McFarland, University alumnus, will be held this week at the Wichita Art museum.
The exhibition will serve to introduce Dr. McFarland who was recently appointed director of the Wichita Art museum and head of the University of Wichita art department.
He has served as director of the School of Art at Ohio Wesleyan university and Phillips university. Enid, Okla. He also was head of the School of Art at St. Joseph, Mo
Dr. McFarland was graduated from the KU School of Fine Arts in 1930.
In past years, several exhibitions of Dr. McFarland's work have been held at the Museum of Art at KU.
U. N. soldiers, backed by tank fire, launched the attack at dawn after a diversionary attack to the northeast. An hour later Franklin said a "handful of men" were on the crest, fighting against overwhelming odds to rout the Chinese Reds from their bunkers and trenches.
"Ammunition is cheaper to make than men," one officer tersely told U.S. press Correspondent Warren Franklin, who reported the western front action.
Chinese Subdue UN Tank Attack
Seoul, Korea — (U.P) — Fanatical Chinese Communists battered back a tank-supported United Nations attack on Kelly hill today but paid a heavy price in more than seven hours of bloody fighting.
The abortive assault on Kelly was preceded by the heaviest allied artillery and mortar barrage on the western front in seven months.
But the Reds were too strongly entrenched. The UN fighting men were forced to pull back the attack at 1:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. CST Tuesday).
3rd KU Movie Series Released
The third in a series of motion pictures describing the University of Kansas and its services to the state has recently been released by the bureau of visual instruction at the University, according to Fred Montgomery, bureau director.
The new picture, entitled "To the Stars," is concerned with the experiences of students at the University and of the changes it makes in their lives. It points out the University's place in the graduate's future life.
As were the first two, "To the Stars" is a 16-mm sound film. The first one put out by the bureau was "Your University," and showed the opportunities offered to high school boys and girls coming to the school. It answered questions of where the students fits in and what the school can do for him. It also showed some of the extra-curricular activities found in a well-rounded college program.
The second of the series, "Beyond the Towers," was devoted to showing the services that the University performs for the state outside of the actual classrooms.
Officials Stop Illness Excuses
A 13-year-old plan of student hospital excuses for missed classes will be abandoned, it was announced by Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, University health director.
Misuse of the permits and the widely varying policies of faculty members toward the excuses were reasons cited by Health service officials in announcing the abandonment. The excuses, signed by a hospital doctor, were used by students for readmittance to class following absence as the result of illness.
Dr. Canuteson in a letter to all deans of the University distributed yesterday said:
"The excuse is only a statement of known illness. Many instructors do not even accept them and only a few place any emphasis on them."
Numerous cases of alteration, forgery, and even the theft of the permits from the hospital were all factors considered by University officials who termed the use of the blanks a "source of injustice."
No official report of illness or hospital confinement will be made to individual instructors by either the Health service or the students in the future. However, a card showing a student's admittance and subsequent dismissal from the hospital will be sent to the dean of that student's body. Excessive absences will be reported by staff members to each dean's office.
Anne McFarland, college freshman, was elected president of Red Peppers, freshman women's peep Tuesday in Strong auditorium. Tuesday in Strong auditorium.
McFarland Elected Red Peppers Head

Wiley Says Band Is Select Group
A select band which is the best since before the war, according to Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of band and orchestra, has recently been chosen to perform this year's musical duties.
The marching band, consisting of 108 men students, has been practicing from 7:30 to 9 a.m. daily for its performances at football games this season. Only men are used in the marching band because it is a semi-military organization and is more suitable to men than to women Prof. Wiley said.
The band will play at four home games and will take several out-of-town trips which will be announced later.
Soon after football season intensive daily rehearsal will begin for the first formal concert of the concert band Wednesday Jan. 14. The concert schedule includes four or five out-of-town concerts which will be presented during the second semester.
