Tuesday, October 30, 1951 -Lee Sheppeard Chicago Maroon Not So Red Now The Chicago Maroon, University of Chicago, has been suspended, and its editor has been fired. Dean of Students Robert Strozier sent the following letter to ex-editor, Alan Kimmel: "Your prolonged stay in eastern Europe and failure to return to the University for registration make it necessary for me to write you a letter instead of talking with you about a very important matter. "I find it necessary to remove you immediately from the editorship of the Maroon. Your action in sponsoring and attending the East Berlin Youth festival demonstrates your lack of qualification to edit a free and independent paper." "I am today writing the student government to request it to proceed at once with steps for a new election . . . After the publication of the October 5 issue of the Maroon, publication is suspended until the student government has acted." The October 5 issue of the Maroon (its last under the old regime) carried a front page blaring out protest. Said the Maroon: "Strozier's action . . . is a violation of basic civil liberties which guarantee freedom of political thought. . . In no civil case can Kimmel's political beliefs be construed as reflecting discredit on the university—unless the university itself in submitting to the current nation-wide pressure against freedom of political beliefs." The Maroon insisted that there "is no legal basis for Strozier's action." It therefore plans to continue publishing "as long as possible." In a small box insert at the bottom of the front page there was printed: "There will be a regular Maroon staff meeting in the Maroon office Monday at 3:30 p.m., weather permitting." To date, the political climate has been too stormy. The Maroon has done no more publishing. Joe Taylor Saigon, Indo-China—(U.P.)—French high commissioner to Cambodia, Jean De Raymond, was stabbed to death in his sleep Monday in a "terrorist plot." Top Red General Demoted Apparently money isn't enough anymore down in the Southwest conference area. Now they are trying to use political influence. First, the governor of Arkansas told the state university to beat undefeated Texas and it did. A guy we've always wondered about is the one who risks his life by rushing across the campus streets against the traffic officer's signal—then stops on the other side to light a cigaret. taylor made Penny Post Card Dead It's about time for a congressional investigation. Then, just to show that it wasn't a lucky break, the lieutenant governor of Oklahoma called for three victories. He wanted one from each of the major schools in the state. And Oklahoma, Oklahoma A&M, and Tulsa were all in the victory column last week! The official, described as one of France's most brilliant civil servants, was slain by one of his house boys during his afternoon siesta, officials said. We wish we had seen the high school students arrive for the journalism conference last week. According to the story on the meeting, some of them "attended the section on mimeographed publications." News Room Student Newspaper of the Adv. Room K.U. 251 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS K.U. 376 The biggest news story we've read in a long time is the one in a national magazine which announces that modern college girls are "aware of sex and believe it has a place in life." Police at first said they did not believe the act was politically inspired. But authorized official sources said after an investigation that the slaying was politically motivated and said the house boy was believed "planted" in the house by terrorists. Police and French troops hunted throughout the city for the Viet-namese servant. Chinese Nationalist reports from Formosa said Chen was marked for demotion after he balked at sending his field army to Korea last year. He urged instead that they be used to attack Formosa. He was overruled and the Chinese intervened in Korea. Hong Kong—(U.P.)—Radio Peiping confirmed today that Gen. Chen Yi, one of Communist China's most brilliant military men, has been removed from at least two of his three jobs.

More British Troops To Suez London—(U.P.)-Prime Minister Winston Churchill, sent another infantry division today to the Middle East where Egypt is trying to oust the British from the Suez Canal.

Atom Blast Rocks Desert Las Vegas—(U.P.)—The largest nuclear explosion of the second series of Frenchman's Flat tests rocked the Nevada desert today and threw up a cloud that was visible in this resort city one minute later.

The AEC announced flatly that no troops were involved. * Topeka—(U.P.)-A Topeka tax accountant said today that the new federal tax bill will benefit those in Kansas who have suffered flood losses. Can Deduct Flood Losses W. F. Harvesty said "non-business" flood losses can be deducted from incomes over a seven year period.

Buenos Aires, Argentina—(U.P.)—Argentina may let foreign scientists get a restricted look at the nation's atomic installations "in a short time," according to a government announcement.
