No KU Goal Set For Red Cross
No quota has been set for the University faculty Red Cross drive, Henry Shenk, active chairman of the drive for University faculty members and employees, said today.
University contributions totaled $1,360 in 1951. It is hoped that this figure will be topped this year because of the increased needs of the local and national chapter, Mr Shenk said.
The National Red Cross spent $370,662.76 for relief and rehabilitation in Douglas county after the June flood. This figure is much more than the total raised by the county last year. The Douglas County chapter is asking for only 1/20th of the amount the Red Cross poured into the county in the past year, Mr Shenk said.
There will be no student drive this year because of the Campus Chest drive held earlier in the school year. Students, however, are welcome to make contributions.
"If each student gave 10 cents, the total would be over $500," Mr Shenk said.
Faculty solicitation will be made by letter. Contributions should be made by the end of next week and may be sent or given to Mr. Shenk, 107 Robinson gymnasium.

Reports to U.S. Army headquarters said more than 1,800 houses were destroyed in three coastal towns on the eastern tip of Hokkaido, hardest hit section.
More than 400 other dwellings were flooded out by eight tidal waves four to 10 feet high kicked up by the earthquake. At least 18 communities on the east coast of Honshua alone were inundated.
No American casualties were reported, although U.S. airmen and the U.S. 1st cavalry and 24th infantry divisions are stationed near the danger "zones in northeastern Honshu island and on Hokkaido, northernmost of the Japanese islands.
Official reports showed 169 injured and 15 missing in Japan's most severe earthquake since the Fujui disaster of 1948, which killed 5,507 persons in eastern Honshu.
Sapporo, Hokkaido—(U.P.)—A "killer" earthquake followed by eight destructive tidal waves rolled up out of the six-mile-deep Pacific ocean off Japan today, taking a toll of more than 200 persons dead, injured and missing.

Allied Planes, Ships Pound Communists
Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea —(O.P.) Allied jet planes and fighter bombers roared over North Korea today, engaging in a vicious battle with 50 Communist MIG's and striking at Red troops, supplies and transportation.
Meanwhile, Navy ships pounded Communist shore installations, but it was not immediately learned what damage was caused.

Truman Tells Reds, 'There Can Be Peace'
Washington — (U.P.) President Truman told the Russian people today there can be peace "if your rulers will turn from their senseless policy of hate and terror."
"We have no quarrel with the people of the Soviet Union," he said in a dramatic broadcast direct to Russia, an immunist satellites around the world.
Mr. Truman spoke at ceremonies inaugurating the voice of America's first sea-going radio station—a major U.S. weapon in the propaganda war.
The Courier, a converted 338-foot Coast Guard cutter, is designed for moving quickly and easily to the seacoasts of Iron Curtain countries to relay voice broadcasts.
Red Radio Charges 'Biological Warfare'
Tokyo—(U.P.)—The Chinese Communist Peiring radio charged today that American artillery has fired shells loaded with disease-laden insects into Red lines in Korea.
It was the first time such a charge has been made. Previous Communist broadcasts accused dropping aircraft of dropping plague-bearing fleas.
The United Nations command has denied that the Allies are waging or have waged germ warfare in Korea.
'Subversives' Face Firing In Schools
Washington—(U,P)—The supreme court has armed states and cities with clear constitutional authority to fire "subversive" public school teachers, provided they are first given a hearing.
Legal experts placed the broad interpretation today on the court's 6 to 3 ruling upholding New York state's anti-Communist Feinberg law.
But authorities agreed that no constitutional significance could be read into another 6 to 3 decision, put down by the court, handed down yesterday.
In that action, the court threw out the complaint of two New Jersey parents who challenged a state law authorizing Old Testament Bible readings and recitation of the Lord's Prayer at school opening exercises.
The ruling was made on technical grounds of jurisdiction, and therefore did not throw any further light on the controversy over the place of religion in the public schools.
Greyhound Strike Still Deadlocked
San Francisco — (U.P.) — A Grayhound bus strike which tied up the company's operation in seven Western states settled down to what threatened to be a long siege today.

The employees are seeking a wage boost and a five-day, 40-hour work week.
UMT Leaders Claim Sufficient Votes
Supporters of the holly-disputed bill to give six months basic military training to all men at age 18 admitted they were in trouble, but refused to concede they were licked.
Washington—(U.P.)—Opponents of universal military training claimed enough votes to deal it a quick death blow in the House today.
The first—and possibly final—test on the UMT measure was set for today. The strategy of opponents was to strike out the enacting clause as a necessary maneuver preliminary to sending the bill back to the armies services committee "for further study."
Los Angeles—(U.P.)—Former Communist John Lautner testified at the trial of 15 California Reds that a party plan to go underground was drawn up to provide a hard nucleus against the day for a fight to reestablish the party on a larger scale.
Says Reds Planned To Go Underground
Lautner, ousted from the party after a membership of 20 years, said under cross-examination Monday that the "underground" plan was also to provide continuity to the party in the event it was outlawed by the United States government.
But Defense Attorney A. L. Wirin shook the government's case a bit by producing discharge papers of Al Richmond, editor of the "People's World," to show the defendant was overseas in the Army in July, 1945—a period when Lautner said he saw Richmond at a New York party convention.
