New Order From Stalin
Tuesday, Jan. 15, 1952
Paris — (U.P) —Russia's new proposals for World atomic control resulted from a directive issued by Marshal Josef Stalin, Byelorussia told the United Nations today.
Kuzma Kisslese, delegate from Byelorussia, an integral part of the Soviet Union, made the statement in UN assembly's main Political committee.
He accused the West of trying to give the new Russian atomic proposals, announced Saturday by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei V. Yishinsky, a "first-class burial" in the fledgling UN disarmament commission.
Fight Truman Plan
Washington — (U.P) — President Truman's plan for reorganizing the tax-collecting Internal Revenue Bureau ran into stiff opposition in Congress today.
The opposition had an iceberglike quality—most of it was below the surface.
Chairman Robert Ramspeck of the Civil Service Commission said in a speech at New Orleans, La., that the reform would be a long step in the right direction. But he added that "it would be still better if even the top position (of Internal Revenue commissioner) were placed under Civil Service."
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. Estes Kefauver said he was going to the White House to "talk politics with President Truman." Other Democrats fervently hoped he would get some clue to Mr. Truman's 1952 intentions.
Political Chat Now
The conference today could have an important bearing on whether the Tennesseean throws his hat in the ring for the Democratic presidential nomination. Kefauver is rated a leading contender for the nomination if Mr. Truman passes it up.
Pay Increase Bill
Washington — (U.P.) The House votes today on Legislation giving servicemen and women a 10 percent "cost-of-living" pay increase, and both Democratic and Republican leaders predicted passage, although with considerable opposition.
The bill provides monthly pay boosts ranging from $7.50 for recruits to $114.68 for generals. The increases would cost the taxpayer about $322,000,000 a year.
Many members were reported opposed to the measure but hesitant about voting against it in an election year.
Korea Full Of Hills
With the 45th Division in Korea— (U.P.)—Warrant Officer A. E. Gibson, Watumaka, Okla., scratched his head today when told a certain hill was "four rests" high.
Gibson was talking to Sgt. Burkes Sparks, also of Wetumka, when he heard about "rests."
Sgt. Sparks said that the hill his burrow is in is so steep he has to stop and rest four times during the climb. That, he said, is a four rest hill.
"Most of the hills around here are at least 'three rest' ones," Sparks told Gibson.
Train Is Snowbound
San Francisco — (U,P)—Dog sleds, ski teams and snowmobiles battled up the Sierra mountains today to reach the streamliner City of San Francisco where 226 persons huddled in snowbound helplessness.
They had no heat or light. Food was running short. Six children were reported sick and six adults suffered heart attacks.
Winds up to 100 miles an hour howled over the stranded train, pinned immobile between two giant snowslides on the Western side of Donner summit.
One rescue party bringing food and medical supplies reached the train last night. Snow at the scene was reported to be 14 feet deep.

Theater Season Reaches Apex With 'Marriage Of Sobeide'
By PHIL NEWMAN
What was probably the apex of the fall semester's Lab theater season was reached in the presentation of "The Marriage of Sobeide" Monday evening in the Little theater of Green hall.
The experience of the ten members of the cast was much in evidence as each performed with enthusiasm. Their superiority was due, no doubt, to the fact that all are members of the acting class of Frances Feist, instructor in speech.
Of the several actors who stood out none was more spectacular than Shirley Strain, College junior, as Sobeide. Miss Strain handled the difficult emotion-filled role with an experienced touch.
The play's plot concerns the wedding day of Sobeide, a Persian girl with a family background of poverty, and of her trialsome marriage to a wealthy merchant.
Also outstanding was Kurtley Walling, College junior, in the character role of Shalnassar, despite his lack of experience.
Gerhard Herm, special student from Crallheim, Germany, did a
capable job of directing the production.
Costumes were handled by Barbara Orendorf, College junior, and Barbara Donovan, College senior. John White, College senior, was in charge of lighting and Walling was stage manager for the play.
The production will be presented again at 8 p.m. today with tickets on sale in the box office of Green hall.
