Bribery Charge To Be Checked
Topeka (U.R.)—A house of representatives committee assigned to investigate acts of bribery allegedly committed during the 1949 session today will recommend action by the Shawnee county grand jury now in session.
That announcement was made yesterday by Rep. Charles D. Stough, Lawrence, the floor leader and member of the investigating committee.
He said the committee failed to uncover direct information of the charges. Mr. Stough pointed out that the Rev. Charles W. Helsley, pastor of the Topeka Central Congregational church, told the committee that he received the bribery accusations "third hand."
Mr. Stough said Rev. Helsley declined to divulge the source of his information on the grounds that he had promised the informant to keep his name secret.
The scandal charge broke open more than a week ago when Rev. Helsley told of a legislator receiving a $10,000 bribe to vote for a certain bill during the 1949 session of the legislature.
Rev. Helsley said yesterday he had no information beyond what he said then. The furor broke in the house when Rep. Robert O. Karr of Girard read from the columns of a Topeka newspaper an account of the charge. In the newspaper was an editorial comment that such charges should be investigated.
Gov. Edward F. Arn said he was a member of the congregation of Rev. Helsley's church.
Jack Chernick, assistant professor of economics, will discuss the Fair Employment Practices commission at a cabinet meeting of the Y.W.C.A. at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the East room of the Union.

Professor Chernick has made a study on the F.E.P.C. and will distribute information about it. Following his talk, a discussion will be held to see what action can be taken by the Y.W.C.A.
The meeting is open to anyone interested.

Solar Eclipse Is Due Wednesday
A partial eclipse of the sun will be apparent here Wednesday afternoon. Dr. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, said today.
Members of an advanced astronomy class have predicted that for this latitude and longitude, the moon should appear to touch the sun at 4:10:13.0 p.m. Wednesday at 4:41:33.3 p.m. and will be over at 5:11:54.6 p.m. by exact naval observatory time.
Dr. Storer said the prediction may not be exact to the 1-10 of a second because of irregularities in the rota-tion of earth and in the surface of the sun.
The best way for persons to see the eclipse is through smoked or dark colored glass. At this latitude you are near cent of the sun will be eclipsed.
The moon will eclipse the sun on the lower left hand side, 126 degrees from the top.
This is an annular eclipse, which means that the diameter of the moon at its present distance from the United States is not great enough to completely cover the sun. In New Zealand and Central America the moon will be completely superimposed on the sun.

Chinese Shifting 100,000 Soldiers To Central Front
Tokyo (U.P).—U.S. 2nd division infantrymen advanced more than a mile in a blinding Korean snowstorm today against Red forces screening a Chinese build up for an all-out counter-offensive.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur reported that nine to 12 fresh enemy divisions — 100,000 men — from Red China's long-missing 3rd field army were moving into position behind the central Korean front for what may be an imminent assault.
The new arrivals, out of action since the 3rd field army was bloodied by U.S. marines in the American withdrawal from northeast Korea last December, upped Communist troops in line across Korea to possibly 250,000. Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, commander of UN ground troops in Korea said his forces could handle any Communist counter-offensive at the moment.
An eight-inch snowfall and low-hanging clouds brought fighting to a virtual standstill along most of the front. Radar-badmorting B-29 superfortresses poured 160 tons of bombs on the Communist supply centers at Hamhung on the northeast Korean coast and Pyongyang.
Infantrymen of the 2nd division gained up to 2,000 yards southeast of Hoengsong. The Yanks found hundreds of North Korean dead, slain in the recent furious see-saw fighting that raged over the area. Other UN forces farther east moved up to within 1,200 yards of rugged Taumen plateau in the face of enemy mortar and small arms fire.
Franco-American tanks and infantry drove 6,000 North Koreans back to a new defense line just north of Taemi Monday. It was there that the Reds made their stand today.

The May call-up is 20,000 less than the 80,000 men asked for during each of the four previous months.
The navy, air force, and marines have not drafted men during the present emergency.
