Dewey Urges US To Draw The Line
New York—(U.P.)—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey called upon the United States Monday to "draw the line" at which it will fight for the world's freedom and thus stand a chance to "win the peace without a war."
"There is grave doubt that Stalin would ever have ever launched the attack in Korea if he had known America would respond," Dewey said at the National Republican Club's Lincoln day dinner.
All the world knows what nations we will defend for sure and as a result no attack has been made on a single one of them." Dewey said. "Now let us go the rest of the way. We should say where we stand as to the rest of the world. Let's make up our minds and then let's tell the world the answers, so nobody will ever have an excuse to drag us into accidental war."
Dewey repeated and elaborated his basic disagreement with former president Herbert Hoover, his predecessor as Republican party leader, on the issue of sending U.S. troops to Europe.
But he took up the argument Mr Hoover presented and last week apparently abandoned for inclusion of Spanish and Yugoslav troops in the international defense army.
Dewey also urged that Greece and Turkey be brought into the North Atlantic Treaty immediately."
"Let's make sure of our friends' Dewey said. "All of them."
He noted that a number of Moslem nations abstained from voting in the last United Nations ballot on the China question. "It is time weight the full power of Islam more securely to our side," Dewey said.
"Spain has 22 divisions and Yugo-
sia 30. I want them on our
side."
Dewey made a guarded prediction, also, that "the forces for a free China," soon would be backed by the United States in the war against Communist slavery.
"One of the greatest triumphs of recent months has been the abandonment by our own government of the frightful follies of its appeasement of the Reds in China," Dewey said.
"Once and for all let's stop this business of waiting for wars and crises and then frantically improvising . . . However much we would like to dream of doing things the easy way, we have absolutely no choice if we wish to stay free and keep our freedom without a war.
"Freedom was never bought in a bargain basement."

Large Crowd In Hoch Hears KC Philharmonic
Senate Group To Push Draft Of 18-year-olds
A near-capacity crowd filled Hoch auditorium Monday night hear the 80-piece Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, direct Hans Schwieger.
By HELEN LOU FRY
Washington - U.P. The senate armed services committee appeared certain today to approve drafting 18-year-olds.
The preparedness subcommittee wrote a bill which would permit drafting of 18-year-olds—but only after all older draft eligiblehs had been taken. Draftees would serve a minimum of 24 months—or 26 months and one week with leave time.
Final committee approval is expected tomorrow after Sen. Wayne Morse, R., Ore, gives his views on the measure. He advised chairman Richard B. Russell, D. Ga, that he cannot attend today's first meeting.
Former Student Wins Photo Prize
The bill, as it reached the senate armed services committee, was something of a compromise. The administration had requested a free hand to draft 18-year-olds for 27 months' service as the basis for a universal military service and training bill.
The house armed services committee, which also is considering the bill, has taken a less enthusiastic view of the politically unpopular leaders in the district and think the measure will be approved in the house committee, too.
A former University student, Bert Brandt, 1927 journalism graduate, won the grand prize in the New York Press Photographer association's annual contest for news photos.
Sen. Morse was the only dissenter when the senate preparedness subcommittee endorsed the bill, 7 to 1 With seven committee members already committed to the measure, only a temporary delay appeared in prospect.
Brandt's photo, which was judged the best spot news photo of 1950, was a picture of Shirley May France sobbing in the arms of her trainer after the failure of her second attempt to swim the English channel.
Brandt appeared on Faye Emerson's television program Feb. 7 where the winners of the contest were first announced.
New York Critic To Speak Today

Flying Saucers Are Huge Balloons
Washington (U.P.)—Dr. Urner Liddel, chief of the navy's nuclear physics research program, said today those flying saucers are no mystery—they are huge plastic balloons used in atomic research.
"Accounts of flying saucers," Dr. Liddel said, "were either tall tales or reports from reliable observers who were either looking at the balloons or misinterpreting what they saw."
Study Method Classes Open
Enrollment is now open in classes for improvement in study methods.
A speed reading class will open Monday, Feb. 26, and is offered at 2 and 4 p.m. The class will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for seven weeks. All classes will be concluded by Easter.

ASTE Will Meet Wednesday
The University chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers will hold its February meeting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Fowler shops.
Dr. Liddel said the balloons are bags 100 feet in diameter which travel at windswept speeds up to 200 miles an hour and soar as high, as 19 miles.
The balloons, known as "sky-hooks" carry delicate instruments to learn about conditions at such heights.
Dr. Liddel said researchers try to keep the balloons' drift within 200 miles of the takeoff point in order to facilitate "tracking" and recovery of the instruments.
Occasionally, however, an unpredicted air current in the high atmosphere will carry a balloon "on the order of 1.000 miles" from where it went up. Balloons sent up in New Mexico have been recovered in Alabama, Dr. Liddel said.
Each balloon carries "reward tags" asking the finder to report to an aeronautical laboratory, the telephone number of which is given. Arrangements then are made. Liddel said, for shipping the instruments back to the lab and for rewarding the finder.
up throughout have cropped up during the country of flying saucers being seen in the heavens. The air force has repeatedly said that the reports are the results of misinterpretation of various conventional objects, a mild form of mass hysteria or hoaxes.
He deplored as "most unfortunate" the secrecy surrounding the balloon project. He said the project was "completely unclassified" in 1947.
Dr. Liddel offered this explanation of the sighting by what he called even "trained observers:"
"They were seeing mirages which could be seen to travel at any speed because they were not real. The' saucers were reflections on the bottoms of the balloons caused by temperature differences in various layers of the atmosphere.
Medical Society Will Meet Today
The Douglas county medical society will meet at 7:30 p.m. today at Watkins hospital.
The program bogan with Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony." The allegro movement seemed lacking in richness, but the andante was more alive and vibrant. The intonation of the French horns and woodwinds on this part was excellent.
Following a business meeting Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of health service, will speak on the use of BCG vaccine in tuberculosis control.
Virgil Thomson directed the orchestra in his "Louisiana Suite" which was characterized by a constantly recurring melodic phrase. Scenes of the bayou country in Louisiana could be imagined as the orchestra played the four movements.
Richard Strauss' rollicking symphonic poem, "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks," was easy to listen to. It told the humorous story of Till Eulenspiegel, a practical poker of the 16th century. Till had some merry adventures, but was marched to the gallows and became a legendary character.
"Symphony No. 2 in E minor," by Rachmaninoff, was the concluding number on the program. The orchestra put good contrast into the symphony and seemed to carry the audience with it throughout the four movements.
Scottish Teacher To Speak At Educational Meeting
A Scottish educator will be the speaker at a joint meeting of PI Lambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, and Phi Delta Kappa, honorary educational fraternity, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Extension Plans Aging Conference
"This is one of the first steps in attacking a problem that will become greater each year," Dean Stockton said. "Because modern medicine has added many years to an individual's life expectancy, both the number and proportion of elderly persons in the population are increasing rapidly."
The first Kansas Conference on Aging will be held at the University on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 27-28, Dr. Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, announced today.
The medical, social, recreational and economic aspects of aging will be outlined and some ways of attacking the problems presented.
The program is aimed primarily at social and welfare workers and recreation leaders, Dean Stockton said. It will be sufficiently broad and non-technical, however, for any person interested in the problems of aging.
A conference highlight will be a panel discussion in which four persons will tell how they have achieved a successful old age. Participants will be Mrs. F. J. Eeps, Topcka; Mrs. Charles Mahin, Wichita; E. E. Engel, professor emeritus of German; and Sam S. Elliott of Lawrence. Prof. D. O. Cowill of Wichita university will be the moderator.
"The Economic Aspects of Aging" will be discussed by a panel composed of Ralph D. Johnson, regional director of the federal security agency, Kansas City, Mo; John Morrison, state department of labor, Topeka; Miles Pulford, state board of vocational education, Topeka; and H. J. Yount, secretary of the Kansas state industrial union council, Kansas City. Dean Stockton will moderate.
Talks will be: "What I Means to Grow Old" Dr. Edward H. Hashinger, K.U. School of Medicine, Kansas City; "The Scope of the Old Age Problem in Kansas," Esther Twente, professor of social work; "Summary Report of a Study of 40 Homes for the Aged in Kansas," Dr. R. M. Heilman, state board of health, Topeka; "Mental Health in Old Age," Dr. William Rottersman, director, Menninger school of psychiatry, Topeka; "Where Do We Go From Here?" Lawrence S. Bee, professor of home economics; and a summary by Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology.

Miss Margaret Pringle will talk about the world organization of the teaching profession. The meeting will be in the home economics room in Fraser basement.
During the last war Miss Pringle was a guest of Kansas teachers at a conference in Endicott, N.Y., to establish world organization of teachers.
Head mistress of an elementary school in Glasgow. Miss Pringle is prominent among Europe's educators. During 1946 she was one of two delegates sent to the Endicott conference. She was chairman of the committee which drafted the temporary constitution of the organization. In 1947 she was chosen chairman of the session held in Glasgow. She is now an honorary life member of the World Organization of the Teaching Profession
Because of the war none of the delegates from Europe could bring money for expenses, so teachers from each state paid the expenses of delegates from some country.
Miss Pringle was brought to the United States by the National Education Association, and is visiting schools all over the country
