Mac Says Russia No Threat To East
Washington (U.P.)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur told Senators today he believes Russia already has as many troops in Siberia as she can maintain there and that their purpose is defensive. He said the Trans-Siberian railroad already is "strained to the utmost," making a larger troop buildup in Siberia outside Russia's capacity.
He also said that while Russia could make a "punishing attack" on Japan, he does "not believe the Soviet has the capacity to overrun Japan until she gets command of the sea and of the air.
MacArthur was asked for his own estimate of Russia's military strength. His reply was deleted from the edited transcript, save for the statement that Soviet troops would have to draw their support "almost entirely from European Russia."

BULLETIN
Washington (U.P.)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur asserted today that if U.S. air and seapower was permitted to carry the war to Red China, we could "wind this thing up" in Korea with only small additional ground forces. He said that he "assumes" President Truman or Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall vetoed recommendations from the joint chiefs of staff for carrying the Korean war to Communist China.
2. Estimates of Chinese Communist air strength, not too reliable range from 300 to 1,000 planes.
1. He doubts Russia would be able to fight an all-out air war in the Far East for very long.
The general also testified that:
3. Red China has a "very noticeable weakness" in air and sea power and it is difficult for Russia to send adequate munitions to her across Africa from European Russia.
4. United Nations troops fighting with Americans and South Koreans "are token forces at best."
The general believes United Nations forces in Korea should bomb Communist Chinese bases in Manchuria and that the United States should help Chiang Kai-Shek get his Chinese Nationalist troops across the straits of Formosa for action on the mainland of China.
5. The various branches of the U.S. armed services are cooperating "100 percent," working together "as a team."
Administration policy is to avoid any action which might broaden the Korean conflict into a general war. MacArthur told Congress April 19, however, that Russia would not "necessarily" mesh her actions with ours.

Ewert Fund Drive Gets Underway
The steering committee for the Ewert Fund drive met Wednesday night to make initial plans.
The committee agreed to use the first $3000 collected to establish the Ronnie Ewert Scholarship fund. Anything over $3000 will be used to perpetuate the name of Walter E. Ewert, former assistant professor of journalism, on the campus.
Professor and Mrs. Ewert, and their 3-year-old daughter, Sylvia, were killed in an automobile accident in Iowa April 11.
Ed Chapin, chairman of the committee, said the fund will be established because the Ewert estate will not be adequate, after medical and funeral expenses are paid, to send the boy to school.
"Everyone—students, faculty, and alumni—is being asked to give, so that each will feel he has helped in making a college education possible for Ronnie," said Chapin, a journalism senior.
"We plan to reach everyone, and we know they will be generous in their aid to this cause. It is a worthy cause with one objective, and that is to help a little boy who has met a terrible tragedy."
Other committee members and the organizations from which they will solicit are John Corporon, journalism senior, William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information; Mary Lou Fischer, education senior, ministers and Chamber of Commerce; Edward Boswell, College junior, Negro Student association; Richard Bradley, engineering junior, McCook and Oread halls, and the co-ops; Beverly Jennings, College junior, Associated Women students; Loy Kirkpatrick, College sophomore, scholarship halls; Neil McNeill, College sophomore, Interfraternity council; Roy Zimmerman, College sophomore, and John Barber, College freshman, special events.
