Easton Speaks At Banquet
Sports are now under the finest control in history despite trying circumstances, Bill Easton, KU track coach, said Tuesday in Kansas City.
Speaking to 100 members and alumni of Kappa Sigma fraternity at a Founders' day dinner, Easton reminded his audience that the recent scandals in athletics are only a part of the whole picture.
"Despite the scandals, athletics are enjoying the best period in history," he said. "Football has become as much a part of life in the United States as Thanksgiving or Santa Claus."
"We're experiencing another cycle of criticism now," Easton continued, "but it will blow over soon. Anyone can get worked into a furor about nearly anything and this

time it seems, they chose sports.
The painting entitled "High Fog" is a Cape Cod landscape. The award was the result of the votes of visitors to the exhibition which was held from Nov. 4 to 28.
"Sports give a lot to the athlete besides the obvious qualities of healthy bodies, courage and the traits of a gentleman. Athletics teach the boy sportsmanship, something that is little publicized but should be recognized as a valuable asset, he said.
"I think youth at present is in the finest era of athletics in history," Easton said.

KU Sophomore Collects $1,000 For Orange Rolls
Mrs. Patrick Sullivan, College sophomore, yesterday was awarded the $1,000 third place prize in the junior division of Pillsbury Mills annual baking contest.
The couple plan to use the money to help them complete their studies at the University.
Mrs. Sullivan was one of 25 contestants in the company's final "bake-off" in New York.
The recipe she prepared in the contest was for orange breakfast rolls with a slight scent and taste of oranges. It takes a minimum of four hours to prepare, because the dough must raise twice.
She got the recipe from her mother-in-law, who in turn got it from a friend who tasted the rolls at a PTA luncheon.
Mrs. Sullivan has been cooking since she was a very small girl. She has just been baking for the past two or three years.
Besides winning the $1000 prize, she received the electric range in which she prepared her recipe and the electric mixer which she used. She received the folding table and chair on which she worked, plus the all-expense-paid trip for her and her chaperon at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
Patrick Sullivan, her husband and a College senior, chaperoned her on the trip since the contest rules called for all underage women to be chaperoned.
Two University debate teams will leave today for West Lafayette, Ind., to participate in the Purdue university debate tournament Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Debaters making the trip will be, Stephen Rench, Heywood Davis, Win Koerper, and Orval Swander, College seniors. Kim Giffin, assistant professor of speech, will accompany the group.

The team of Koerper and Swander is, as yet, undefeated in debate this season.
The two teams will participate in five rounds of debate on the topic: "Resolved, that the federal government should adopt a permanent program of wage and price controls."

SOMEONE IN THE MERGE
Spokane, Wash.—(U.P.)—Mrs. R. H.
Williams found sometimes it pays to forget. She left her purse home when she went shopping and returned for it to find her house on fire. Firemen quickly put the blaze out.
ExchangeOfWarPrisoners Delayed By Red Demands
Panmunjom, Korea-U.P.)The United Nations warned today that the Communists may try to hold back "sizeable numbers" of captured Allied soldiers from any exchange of war prisoners.
A UN command communique said the Reds for the second straight day refused in a subcommittee meeting even to provide a list of UN war prisoners until the Allies agree to release all 120,000 or more Communist war prisoners.
"We are in an unenviable position," a briefing officer said. "It appears that the Reds once again are holding this exchange of prisoners over our heads, hoping perhaps to force us into premature concessions."
U.S. Troops Are 'Best Cared For' Army
Tokyo— (U.P) —A House military appropriations subcommittee concluded today that U.S. troops in Korea are the "best equipped, best fed and best medically cared for army in the world."
Chairman Christopher C. McGrath (D.-N.Y.), said, "We are impressed by the fine leadership which we have . . . from top to bottom." He added that Gen. James A. Van Fleet's "first consideration lies in seeing to it that as few as possible of our men are sacrificed in obtaining the objectives they seek."
Egypt Postpones Ambassador Recalling
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)—Egypt postponed the threatened recall of its ambassador to Britain today after U.S. Ambassador Jefferson Caffery urged against any such drastic action in the Suez dispute.
An eleventh-hour personal message from British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden to Acting Foreign Minister Ibrahim Farag was said to have "cleared the air" somewhat in the Anglo-Egyptian crisis. The note explained Britain's reasons for building a new military road through a native village near Suez, an action which angered Egyptians.
Big 4 Disarmament Talks Bog Down
Paris—(U.P.)—Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky blasted any remaining hope today for an early Big Four disarmament agreement.
He delivered the coupe de grace in the United Nations general assembly's 60-member political committee by:
1. Rejecting the West's Baruch plan for international control and regulation of armaments and the atomic bomb as "utopian" and charged that even the U.S. would not and could not accept it.
2. Accusing the U.S., Britain and France of full blame for the "mad armaments race."
3. Charging that the West's proposal for disarmament by progressive stages is only a "cunning mechanism" devised to postpone indefinitely the outlawing of the atomic bomb.
4. Insisting that the essential first step in any disarmament program is adoption of the Soviet proposal for outlawing the atomic bomb.
Italians Fulfil NATO Troop Quota
Rome, Italy—U.P.)—Italy is close to passing her 1951 goal of delivering five divisions to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's North Atlantic Pact army, military sources said today.
The poorest of the Atlantic Pact partners has turned over to Eisenhower three divisions, plus three independent brigades which numerically amount almost to two more divisions. Another regular infantry division is now being outfitted with American arms.
Even without the new infantry division, Italy's contribution to NATO is equal to that of France, military men said.
102,576 American Casualties In Korea
Washington—(U.R.)American battle casualties in Korea now total 102,576, an increase of 888 over last week, the defense department announced today.
The casualties include all whose next of kin have been notified from the beginning of the war through last Friday.
Bleating Germans Sharply Criticized
Frankfurt, Germany— (U.P.) —U.S. High Commissioner John J. McCloy criticized the Germans sharply today for making excessive demands on Allied occupation authorities and exaggerating their burdens.
He said the Western Germans have developed a sort of "occupation fatigue" and are "in a mood of impatient rebellion" against remaining Allied controls as restoration of almost complete sovereignty nears.
Truman Opinion Enroute To Ridgway
Washington—(U.R.)—President Truman is sending Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway his views on the Korean truce talks, it was learned today.
The latest secret report sums up some of the views Mr. Truman expressed in a strategy huddle Monday with top defense and state department officials.
It is being relayed to Tokyo by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Ridgway, supreme United Nations commander in the Far East, presumably will pass the ideas along to UN negotiators at Panmunjom
