Reds Flee North Before UN Advance
Tokyo (U.P.)—Communist resistance collapsed along the 70-mile Korean central front today and Reds fled headlong toward the 38th parallel.
parallel. Aerial observers reported signs that the Communists also were abandoning the former capital city of Seoul, threatened by an Allied flanking drive to the east.
Nine UN divisions reported gains of up to three miles as they moved cautiously north along the central front in the wake of fleeing Chinese and Korean Reds. They advanced at will.
Tank and infantry task forces darted within sight of the big enemy base of Hongchon and the strategic east-central Korean cross roads town of Changpyong. Vanguards were within 24 miles of the 38th parallel.
Most of the advancing UN columns reported "no contact" with the enemy. The rest reported only scattered, sporadic resistance from enemy rear guards.
There were ominous reports that the Reds were digging in along a line anchored on Hongchon, some 20 miles south of the 38th parallel for a new stand by possibly 100,000 troops.
1,065s.
United Press correspondent William Burson reported from the east-central front that Reds who were concentrating formidably here three days ago turned into headlong flight toward the 38th parallel. American and South Korean infantry scored smashing successes all along the M-mile-wide sector.
"Only on the road to Changpyong did UN troops encounter anything resembling organized resistance, and there only sporadic small arms and machine-gun fire was met. A U.S. 7th division unit captured mile-high Mt. Taemi and its once pregnable entrenchments without firing a shot.
"The bloodless victory completed the cross-country conquest of east-central Korea's most forbidding mountain wilderness."
Similar stories came from the central and western sectors of the intensive front. Three divisions were closing in on Hongchon in the center.
A 1st cavalry division tank task force, lancing out ahead of the 9th corps advance, rumbled within sight of the city from the southwest through retreating enemy rear guards. Infantry advanced 5,000 yards to within five miles of the city without opposition. They were only 24 miles below the 38th parallel.
Piano Recital Well Played
Bv LOU FRY
A pleasing stage personality and excellent playing characterized the piano recital of Paul Snyder, associate professor of piano, Sunday afternoon in Strong auditorium.
Professor Snyder played the Beethoven's "32 Variations" with contrast of power and delicacy. This piece is not a side of Beethoven that is often exhibited.
Weber's "Invitation to the Dance' didn't seem to fit into the program although Professor Snyder played it skillfully and showed good technique.
Professor Snyder showed no signs of tension or nervousness. He played with great feeling and seemed to put himself into the spirit of the music he played. It seemed as if he were playing for a small group of friends rather than presenting a recital.
In the last number, "Sonata in F minor," Professor Snyder displayed his ability to transfer his musical lining to the keyboard. The second movement was calm and especially beautiful. Professor Snyder played the faster movements with power and precision, adding to their emotional impact.
KANSAS: Generally fair tonight and Tuesday. Colder east tonight, warmer west and north Tuesday.
WEATHER
At the western end of the attack front, the U.S. 25th division swept ahead 3,500 yards from its bridgehead across the Han river 15 miles east of Seoul. It met no enemy troops.
The thrust rapidly was outflanking the defenses of Seoul. Allied pilots reported heavy enemy traffic out of the city and it was believed the Chinese defenders may be withdrawing to escape an Allied trap.
The U.S. 3rd division, directly across the Han from Seoul, reported "feverish" enemy activity in the city, but did not speculate officially about its cause.

Ferre Gives Five Suggestions For Facing Crisis
Dr. Nels F. S. Ferre, professor of philosophical theology at Vanderbilt university, gave students and faculty five rules for facing the world crisis when he spoke at the Religious Emphasis week convocation today.
Dr. Ferre said;
Dr. Ferre said:
1 Be honest with yourself.
2. Be honest with religion. Faith is no good unless it holds you.
3. Cultivate spiritual life. Apply our faith in terms of the future and not the present.
Most of the two-day program will be devoted to eight discussion groups on current international problems. The eight topics will be "Should We Adopt Senator Fulbright's Recent Resolution on an Atlantic Union?" "How Should We Meet Our Atlantic Treaty Obligations?" "The Role of Franco Spain in Western Defense."
4. Cultivate religious fellowship.
5. Be interested -forget what others think of you and think of the help you can be to other people.
"One-Worldness vs. a Balance of Power as an Effective Road to World Peace," "What Should Be Our Policy Edward China?" "The Strategic 'What Should be our Policy with Importance of the Middle East' and Regard to Southeastern Asia?"
Eric Brost, editor of the second largest newspaper in Western Germany, will speak on "German Views on the defense of Western Europe," at 4 p.m. Friday in Fraser theater. The lecture is open to the public.
In discussing war and peace, Dr. Ferre said that "re-armament is not the answer to world peace. The world is divided into two great powers, which leads to a block. This block leads to block thinking which in turn leads to fear and destruction.
"Christianity must overcome superficial denominational co-operation if its is going to survive other forces in the world. It must stand beyond capitalism and Communism so that it won't be swept away in our changing society." Dr. Ferre said Christianity is not allied with any one form of government or idea, he said.
Mr. Brost has been a correspondent in Warsaw, Stockholm, Helsinki, and London. He will be the featured speaker at the regional conference of the International Relations clubs Friday and Saturday.
"Building adequate faith is one of the concerns of the Christian today," the speaker stressed. "The Christian religion is to be interpreted in terms of God's concern for common good."
There are 58 clubs in the Southern Missouri Valley region comprised of Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The clubs are sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and are found in colleges and universities throughout the world. The University of Kansas club was established in 1924.

Guidance Bureau Has Assisted More Than 450 KU Students This Year
For six and a half years the Guid-ance bureau has been offering free counseling service to students at the University of Kansas. Approximately 450 students have taken advantage of the bureau's service this year.
When considering student problems, the bureau evaluates the educational program, interest patterns, and personality of the individual.
After the preliminary interviews are completed, the counselor makes out a block of tests to fit the need of the individual. When these tests are completed the counselor is ready to advise the student.
"We do not make decisions for people," Dr. Gordon Collisier, director of the Guidance bureau emphasized. "We do all we can to help the students make their own decisions."
For students who do not know what vocation they want to enter, or what is required of a person in a certain job, the bureau has an occupational information library.
The staff of the bureau is composed of five full time counselors and nine students who work part time. Dr. William Cottle is assistant director, and Lee Isaacson, Frank Entwisle, and Donald Harder are guidance counselors.
The Guidance bureau not only assists students but engages in research projects, investigates new tests as they are published, and establishes norms for tests already in use.
The Guidance bureau was first organized under the direction of Dr. A. H. Turney, professor of Education, on Aug. 1, 1944.
