Washington (U.P.)—General of the Army Douglas MacArthur solemnly told the U.S. congress today that the fate of the "entire human race" hinges upon decisions which it must make not in any manner way but upon "the highest plane of national interest."
He told cheering members that he was "not the advocate of any partisan cause."
For two minutes after he entered
the room, the congressman rose
and cheered, then slept.
The general said that the issues are fundamental and reach far beyond the realm of partisanship. "I have but one purpose in mind—to serve my country," he said.
"While Asia is commonly referred to as the gateway to Europe, it is no less true that Europe is the gateway to Asia, and the broad influence of one cannot fail to influence the other.
"There are those who claim our strength is inadequate to protect on both fronts—that we cannot divide our effort. I can think of no greater expression of defeatism."
He said that to "surrender" to the Reds in Asia would open the gates to Communism in Europe.
What the people of Asia strive for is the opportunity for a little more food in their stomachs, for longer or backs, and a little more roof over their heads.
"The Pacific was a potential area of advance for any predatory force intent upon striking on the neighboring land areas," he said. "All this was changed by our Pacific victory." The Pacific "acts as a protective shield for all of the Americas and all key lands of the Pacific area," he said.
"Any predatory attack in Asia must be an amphibious attack. . none can be successful without control of the sea and air. . "
He said we can dominate every Asiatic port from Vladivostok to Singapore and prevent any hostile move in the Pacific.
If the U.N. forces were unable to destroy the Communist reinforcement and supply buildup north of the Yalu river in Manchuria, if the Nationalist Chinese forces on Formosa could not be used, our forces could hold, but only for an indecisive campaign.
This is a "military estimate of which I have yet to find a military leader who will take exception."
"Under no circumstances must Formosa fall under Communist control." General MacArthur declared

decisive campaign, with constant attrition of our forces."
Washington—(U.P.)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur told congress today that the nation's joint chiefs of staff had approved his views for carrying on the Korean war and that criticism had come largely from "lay circles" abroad.
He said such an eventuality would at once threaten the Philippines and Japan and force the U.S. defenses back to the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington.
Then MacArthur detailed conditions in China today. Red China, he said, is the result of emerging nationalism and stands today "aggressively imperialistic" and with a "lust for expansion."
The Chinese are desperate to follow "any leadership" making them adequate promises, he said.
"From the beginning," General MacArthur said, he thought that the Chinese Communist support for the North Korean aggressors was "the dominant one," and that their interests paralleled those of Russia.
General MacArthur said that unless his views were followed "we could hope at best for only an in-
"There are some who, for various reasons, would appease Red China. They are blind to history's clear lessons. .appeasement only gets new and bloodier war," he continued.
General MacArthur said he felt that the situation now called for a naval blockade of China, removal of restrictions on "air reconnaissance," and removal of restrictions on the forces of nationalist China "striking from Formosa with logistical support."

Regents Dispute On Membership
Toppea—(U.P)-Atty. Gen. Harold Fatzter study了 a dispute over who is to fill the ninth seat in the state board of regents membership.
A. W. Hershberger, Wichita, and Jerry Driscoll, Russell, both claim the same membership on the board.
Hubert Brighton, secretary of the board, yesterday asked the attorney general for an opinion on the matter.
Mr. Driscoll has promised that he will take the seat which he claims is rightfully his. He quoted provisions passed in Kansas law to back up his contention.
Fireworks may break out at the Friday session.
mr. Fatzer said he would have to have to wait, before he could offer an opinion.
But Governor Arn quoted book from the same sections of the statute book to claim that Mr. Hershberger's appointment is valid.
He declined to say whether he would have the opinion ready for a board of regents meeting Friday morning at which both candidates are expected to claim the seat.
The dispute goes back to the final days of the 1951 legislature when the senate refused to confirm Gov. Edward F. Arn's appointment of Herb Barr. Leoti, to replace Mr. Driscoll.
He appointed Hershberger.
Hershey Defends Deferment Plan
Washington (U.P.)—Selective service director Lewis B. Hershey has disclosed that only one out of every 16 men in the 19-through-25 age group has been drafted.
"When the senate refused to confirm either Barr or Driscoll for the post," said the governor, "it left a vacancy."
Hershey said 5,257,000 men have been deferred in line with congressional orders. These include World War II veterans, ministers and ministerial students, married men, including fathers, essential agricultural workers, essential occupation workers and a few others.
Hershey issued the figures in a statement defending the new college student deferment plan. The program, which provides for deferment of bright students, has been criticized by many persons as undemocratic.
Hershey said these critics apparently have gotten the idea that only college students are being deferred from military service. Actually, he said, "that misconception" is all wrong. He quoted figures to prove his point.
NELSON ANTRIM CRAWFORD
Matrix Talk Subject Set
"Author vs. Editor" is the subject on which Nelson Antrim Crawford will speak at the Matrix Table at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the Kansas room of the Union.
The editor of Household magazine will be guest at the annual dinner sponsored by the University chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, professional fraternity for women in journalism.
As an editor he has worked on the Kansas Industrialist, Kansas Churchman, Fire and Fireside, Midland, Yearbook of Agriculture, and several poetry anthologies, including "Cats in Prose and Verse."
Mr. Crawford began his career on a daily paper in 1906 and worked there until 1909. In 1910 he received his bachelor's degree from State University of Iowa and his master's degree in 1914 from K.U. Since then he has been an English and journalism teacher, publicity director, editor, author, and lecturer.
Mr. Crawford's writings have included books on children, short stories, journalism, and two novels, "Unhappy Wind" and "Man of Learning." He has also written articles for 100 magazines, including American, Coronet, Look, and Reader's Digest.
WEATHER
In 1920 he received the Kansas poetry prize and the Betty Earle lyric prize in 1923.
Kansas: Mostly cloudy tonight and Friday with occasional snow flurries northwest late tonight and Friday, possibly preceded by showers late this afternoon or tonight. Colder Friday, much colder in west portion. Low 30 northwest to 40 southeast, high Friday 35-40 northwest to 50 or 55 southeast.
Chinese Troops Cling To Ridge
Tokyo (U.P.) — One company of Chinese troops entrenched on a mile-long ridge provided the United Nations army in Korea with its only reported major opposition today.
Allied infantrymen charged the ridge with flame-throwers, bayonets, and hand grenades, but could not dislodge the deeply-entrenched Chipori, 10 miles north of the 38th pocket of Chinese.
The ridge is east-northeast of parallel on the main road to the big Communist base of Kumha, 13 miles beyond.
"Those die-hards are buying time with their lives for the retreat of the main body," an American officer said.
Rain, smoke, and haze over the entire front paralyzed air operations. The air forces flew only 20 sorties, the second lowest day's total of the war.
Elsewhere along the 140-mile front Allied troops took firm control of the vital Hwachon dam, wrested from the Communists late Wednesday, and sent tank spearheads stabbing again toward Kumhwa.
At the eastern end of the Kwachon reservoir an eight-man Communist patrol slipped three miles through U.N. lines to the outskirts of Yang-gu and threw several heavy mortar shells into the city. However, there was no indication any serious action was impending.
May Have Hooked Missing Submarine
Portsmouth, England (U.P.)—Minesweepers dragging the bottom of the English channel for the vanished British submarine Affray hooked onto something today and ordered a diver to investigate.
The Royal Navy cautioned however that there was no certainty the "contact" was the missing submarine, which disappeared Monday night with 75 men aboard.
The contact was established by five minesweepers dragging the bottom with a cable linked to each ship. However, the English Channel in that area is littered with thousands of hulks of wrecked ships dating back to the Spanish Armada of 1588.
The search for the missing sub was continued today although officials virtually have abandoned its crew of 75 will be found alive.
The dwindling supply of oxygen in the submarine—if not already exhausted—cannot last beyond (5 p.m. CST) tonight, an admiralty spokesman said. He said that the chances of rescue were remote.
Top KU Duo Enters National Debate Tourney
Steve Mills and Kent Shearer, College seniors, left Wednesday for West Point, where they will represent the University in the national invitational debate tournament sponsored by the United States Military academy. Prof. E. C. Buehler, director of forensics, accompanied them.
This marks the fourth straight year in which the University has been invited to participate in what is traditionally regarded at the "national championship" tournament for debaters. It also marks the final college meet for both Mills and Shearer, who have established one of the top all-time records for debating in this part of the country.
The K.U. speaking twins teamed up their sophomore year at Russell high school, and since that time have been almost unbeatable through seven years of high school and college competition.
As high school sophomores, they won the class A division of the Kansas State High School Activities association debate tournament.
As juniors, they tied with a Hutchinson team in the class AA division of the K.S.H.S.A.A. tournament, but were rated second on a judges decision. The following year they won the class AA meet.
This year, the two speakers capped four years of similarly successful college debate by forming one team of the four-man squad which won the first place trophy in the annual Missouri Valley Forensic tournament at the University of Oklahoma during Easter vacation. Eleven of the largest schools in this area participated.
Earlier in the season, Mills and Shearer were victorious in eight out of nine debates at the St. Thomas tournament in St. Paul, Minn. Shearer ranked third and Mills ranked fifth in the cumulative speaker ratings among some 300 student debaters from 75 schools.
In their University debating they have been coached by Richard Schiefebusch, assistant professor of speech, Professor Buehler, and Dr. Kim Giffin, director of debate.
Each year, West Point invites the top 32 debate teams of the nation to its tournament. Selection of teams is based on balloting of debate coaches within geographical districts. The University falls in district IV, which includes Colorado, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska.
This spring, K.U. was outranked by only one school in voting over the district, and then only by the slim margin of four points.
In U. was represented at the tournament by Edward Jerk and Kenneth Leshatter is now an institute of political science here at he university.
