KU Senior To Paris On Fulbright Grant
Robert Wynne, fine arts senior, has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship by the U.S. department of state for a year's study at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, France.
Wynne received one of the two scholarships to be awarded by recommendation of the Kansas committee on state Fulbright scholarships, according to Dr. J. A. Burzle, the K.U. Fulbright program adviser. Other awards to Kansans are made through national committees.
Wynne is the first K.U. fine arts student to receive a Fulbright award, although three other students from here already have received scholarships in 1951. They are studying in Australia.
A student of Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano. Wynne has majored in piano and will continue that study in Paris. He is a member of Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary music society, and has been the leading man of his class scholastically. He has held summer scholarships in the master piano classes of Carl Friedberg, conductor in Kansas City, Mo. He hopes to leave for France in September.
Senate Asks For Plans
Washington —(U.P.) The senate committee investigating Gen. Douglas MacArthur's dismissal has formally asked the administration to supply its plans for trying to negotiate a Korean war settlement, it was learned today.
Sen. William F. Knowland, (R-Calif.) said the committee has forwarded his request but that he did not know what the answer would be. The prospects of negotiating an acceptable settlement of the Korean war without enlarging it and without "appeasement" is one of the questions which has been in the forefront of the dispute between MacArthur and the administration.
To hear more of the administration viewpoint, the senate armed services-foreign relations committee scheduled another session today with defense secretary George C. Marshall, who spent six days before the committee last week.
Knowland has asked for the text of a proposed presidential declaration, which was never issued, on the Korean war and for a state department document setting forth the basis of proposed negotiations—if Communist China agreed to negotiate.
The defense secretary has not disclosed proposed settlement terms except to say that the administration would oppose giving Formosa to Red China or allowing China to "shoot her way" into the United Nations.
There has been no indication yet whether the administration may be wary of letting these become public and tipping its hands on what it would consider acceptable terms. Knowland said the documents should be supplied to the committee and that the committee should decide whether to make them public.
Marshall has testified that negotiations with 13 other nations about the proposed presidential declaration had collapsed after MacArthur issued on March 24 to confer with Chinese field commander in Korea about a truce.

$200 Added To Ewert Fund
More than $200 was added to the Ronnie Ewert Scholarship fund over the weekend to bring the total to $1,320.
The goal of the drive is $3,000 for a college fund for 6-year-old Ronnie Ewert, whose parents, Prof. and Mrs. Walter E. Ewert, and sister, Sylvia, were killed in an automobile accident in April. Professor Ewert was the faculty advisor to the University Daily Kansan.
Eight organized women's houses turned in contributions which totalled $101.17 Friday. The houses were Templin, Watkins, and Carruth halls and Pi Beta Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Gamma, and Alpha Omicron Pi sororities.
The Jay Janes will finish canvassing the east side of the Lawrence district today, and more contributions are expected from the organized houses, Loy Kirkpatrick, steering committee member, said.
Vets May Sign Up For Grad Work
Veterans who will be graduated this spring under the G.I. bill and who plan to take graduate work next fall should register with the Veterans' administration office, annex C. Strong, before graduation.
Veterans who register for graduate work under the G.I. bill before they receive their degrees will be permitted to go ahead this fall under two conditions.
By applying for their graduate training before they graduate, veterans affected by the July 25 deadline for starting G.I. courses—veterans discharged before July 25, 1947—will be allowed to go on to school.
2. Their graduate course must be in the normal progression of their previous course.
1. They must start their additional training at the end of their summer vacation period.

More than 450 U.N. planes carried out an around-the-clock offensive against the enemy massing for a three-pronged assault, and Allied infantrymen braced behind a bristling defense line for the next big battle.
U. N. ground forces waited behind artillery and 80 miles of barbed wire and minefields in their first static defense line since they stood with their backs to the seas last summer.
The Chinese streamed down trails south of the great Hwachon reservoir and took up positions down Korea's central mountain spine.
American artillery blasted the Chinese bridgehead and a powerful American task force of tanks, infantry and artillery fought through one Chinese screening force. A full battalion of Reds caught the Allied troops in ambush northeast of Uiijongbu, but the Yanks fought their way out with the aid of fighter planes and artillery.
Farther west,GI's laid a trap of their own. They caught a company of southbound Chinese by surprise and killed or wounded about a third of them.
A limited Allied offensive was under way on the extreme eastern front. There North and South Korean troops fought a series of small, fierce battles. The South Koreans were fighting there for control of the Inje-Kansong highway.
There were three major threats to the Allied line as the Reds reached what front reports described as the 11th hour of their buildup. They were:
3. The heaviest southward movement out of the Chinese staging area was astride the central Hwachon-Chunchon corridor.
1. A full Chinese army corps was reported massed 20 miles north of Seoul for a new attack down the classic invasion routes to the devastated former capital.
2. A smaller concentration was growing about 30 miles northeast of Seoul, for a drive down the Pukhan river valley against the Allies Han river bridgehead line.
Social problems involve many relationships among many people and groups of people, Charles Warriner, instructor in sociology, said Sunday over KLWN.
Need Cooperation Says Sociologist
Meanwhile Allied warplanes continued to blast Communist supply lines throughout North Korea. More than 450 fighter-bombers struck within 45 miles of the Manchurian frontier.
Mr. Warriner, the 10th speaker in the series Sociology on the Air, discussed social problems and community action. He said social problems cannot be solved "by a blind application of a bottled cure-all which someone sells to us in a neat package. To understand these problems and their treatment requires long study, much thought, and special skills."
"Today man is more dependent on many people he does not know." Mr. Warriner said, "because of the division of labor. Hence when it is necessary to engage in co-operative endeavor with persons whose views differ from ours it is difficult to reach agreement."
