US Foreign Policy Is Okay: Haskell
American foreign policy is moving in the right direction, Henry Haskell, Jr., foreign editor of the Kansas City Star, told students at the final "World In Crisis" lecture Tuesday night.
"I think that on the whole our official policy is now on the right track," Mr. Haskell said, "and that it will eventually find the requisite popular acceptance."
The immediate prospects for averting or winning a war are bleak. Mr. Haskell said, and we must be prepared for further Communist successes in Asia and the possibility of a Russian thrust through Western Europe or the Middle East.
"I think the long-range prospects are fairly good," he said, "provided we achieve essential unity at home, and some of our Allies respond with greater energy and determination."
We are returning to the bipartisan type of foreign policy which had declined between the end of the war and the 1948 elections, Mr. Haskell said.
"Every democratic country has two foreign policies," Mr. Haskell explained. "One is its official policy, devised and conducted by the government. The other is the popular policy, the one which the people wish to see followed."
547 Teachers To Meet Jan. 20
Members of the University workshop setting up standards for a good Kansas elementary school will hear the reactions of 547 state elementary teachers, supervisors, and parents when the workshop meets here on Saturday. Jan. 20.
Preliminary check-sheets for evaluating a good Kansas elementary school were sent out to 659 individuals around Nov. 1.
Cloy S. Hobson, director of the University curriculum laboratory and supervisor of the workshop, said the 12 members will decide what type of final check-sheet is to be sent to some 2,000 elementary teachers and patrons in Kansas first and second city schools.
The program was initiated by the curriculum commission of the Kansas state department of public instruction two years ago.
The final check-sheet will be sent out around the first of March and tabulated in May. During the summer the workshop will set up the final criteria for an excellent elementary system.
Standards of philosopy objectives, curriculum, staff, school plant and school and community inter-relations are being studied by the workshop. Members of the workshop are teachers and superintendents in Kansas schools.
Offer $100 For Research
The K.U. School of Medicine is again offering two $100 awards for the best pieces of undergraduate and graduate medical research, Prof. R. C. Mills, head of the biochemistry department, announced today.
The awards are made annually for the best original investigative work by a medical student and by a house officer. Papers outlining a project must be submitted to any member of the medical school's research committee on or before April 15 to be eligible.
To Set Up Marine Lab
All papers will be presented orally and the winners announced at the K U. Medical Center on Student Research day, May 11.
Henry C. Tracy, professor emeritus of anatomy, has been invited to assist in setting up a marine biological laboratory for the state of Mississippi.
Dr. Tracy, former head of the department of anatomy at the University, will be under the auspices of the department.
While in the end public opinion must gain control, he said, the government can and should influence that opinion because it is presumably better informed than the people.
"We have an official foreign policy based primarily on the charter of the United Nations," he said. "We stand committed to the principle not only of the maintenance of a just peace through collective action but the cooperative promotion of every phase of human welfare."
For a time we tended to act outside the United Nations, but now we have been avoiding such departures, Mr. Haskell said.
"Our foreign policy is pointed once more to Western Europe as the threatened area most vital to our national safety and most deserving of our military assistance, after a period when that priority seemed about to be shifted to Asia," he said.
Our policy toward the Soviet Union has duplicated the popular pattern of a shift from concession to toughness, but its present direction is away from an almost blank refusal to negotiate with the Kremlin, Mr Haskell said.
Field House Bids In Today
Bids for the University fieldhouse will be accepted at 2 p.m. today in the office of the state business manager in Toopeka.
The 1949 Kansas legislature appropriated $75,000 for the project to be located near the southwest slope of the campus. It is believed that an additional $1,100,000 will be necessary for completion.
Final requests to this year's legislation will be made on the basis of today's bids. The new fieldhouse will seat 16,000 persons—almost four times as many as Hoch auditorium. The building will have a basketball floor which can be moved aside for indoor track events, football, and baseball practice.
It will be 344 feet long and 255 feet wide. Height of the building will be 86 feet.
Charles Marshall, state architect said that when construction begins it will take approximately two year to complete the building.
Students now in school must bring their I-D cards with them when they register for the spring semester, Harold Swartz, business office accountant, said today. As they reach the fee window their cards will be stamped "Paid." This stamp is necessary to validate the I-D cards for the spring semester.
Students Must Bring I-D Cards
Students entering during the spring semester will be able to obtain their I-D cards at window number four of the Business office, 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. February 9 and 10. They must bring their fee cards with them.
Last Daily Kansan Of Fall Semester
Arrangements will be made for new students to attend the basketball game with Oklahoma A. & M prior to those dates.
Today's issue of the University Daily Kansan will be the last regular issue of the fall semester.
A pre-enrollment issue will be printed on Monday, Jan. 29. Regular publication will be resumed on Thursday, Feb. 1, when classes begin for the spring semester.

The press conference was the first Eisenhower has held since his return to London. In it he put on the record his general appraisal of the European situation.
"No one of us—however strong or weak—can afford to pull away from the others. Each of us needs the other."
UN Patrols Probe For Reds As Lull In Korea Continues
"Of one thing I am sure. I thoroughly believe that the only way the free world can defend itself is for the free world to stick together.
Tokyo—(U.P) —Aggressive, reinforced United Nations patrols hunted elusive Chinese and Korean Reds today on snow-covered mountains, valleys and plains all along the 130-mile Korean front.
Eisenhower said he was encouraged by what he has found so far and is confident that the Atlantic army plan—to preserve peace—can succeed.
Eisenhower lunched with British Prime Minister Clement Attlee directly after the press conference and was scheduled to leave on the last lap of his European tour for Lisbon, Portugal.
Eisenhower did not mention either Republican leader by name, but he told a crowded press conference:
East Central Front, Korea—U.P. The Communists have stepped up their psychological warfare program and are distributing leaflets telling "homesick"GI's to quit fighting for "capitalist warmongers." American intelligence officers disclosed today.
the supreme commander of the proposed Atlantic Pact army threw his weight against suggestions from ex-President Herbert C. Hoover and U.S. Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R.-Ohio), that the United States retire behind an "American Gibraltar."
London—(U.P.)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said Tuesday that neither the U.S. nor any other country in the free world can afford to pull out of the common alliance against Soviet imperialism.
Out of contact with the main enemy forces all across Korea, the 8th army sought an explanation for mysterious Communist withdrawals south of Seoul and the ominous lull in Red attacks to the East. Such lulls in the past have preceded Communist offensives.
Allied air armadas joined ground patrols in keeping up pressure against the enemy. B-29 Superfort-
"It is doubtful that front line North Korean or Chinese soldiers can read these 'safe conduct passes.'" An American officer said. He pointed out that if an American soldier tried to use one, he probably would get shot for his trouble.
US Must Stay In Europe: Ike
The leaflets guarantee safe passage through enemy lines for any American who wants to surrender. But there is a catch to it. The leaflets are printed only in English.
Red Leaflets For US Troops
Kansas—Considerable cloudiness thru Thursday with showers likely in southeast. Not quite so warm this afternoon. Low cooler west Thursday. Low tonight 30 northwest to 50 southeast, High Thursday in 50's, except 45-50 northwest.
THE WEATHER
resses dropped 176 tons of bombs on Kaesong, key road junction 35 miles northwest of Seoul, and Chongju, another important transport center 50 miles south of the Manchurian border.
Other B-29s dumped 76 tons of demolition bombs on Pyongyang, capital of Communist North Korea, last night. B-26 light bombers from the Manchurian border south to Seoul during the night.
Fifth air force fighters and fighter-bombers joined carrier-based planes in raking enemy targets just behind the front in daylight today.
One plane with United Nations markings bombed and strafed by mistake, Americans in Osan. 26 miles south of Seoul, last night. Four bombs were dropped and one American was injured.
BULLETIN
Lake Success, N.Y.-(U.P.)-Communist China rejoined the United Nations' five-point peace plan for the Far East today and it appeared to leave the world organization no choice but to accede to United States' demands that the Red Chinese government be condemned as an aggressor.
Suwon, 17 miles south of Seoul was a no-man's-land. American tanks and infantry smashed into the city
briefly yesterday and with fighter aircraft killed an estimated 500 enemy troops before retiring last night to Osan, 10 miles to the south.
Doughboys riding tanks dashed into Suwon from the south while another infantry task force moved in from the southwest. The nut-cracker assault caught an estimated regiment of Chinese—2,500 to 3,000 troops —out of their defenses warming themselves in houses.
When the Americans opened fire, the Chinese fled through the streets and over rooftops in a vain attempt to get into their foxholes.
On the central front, Yongwol likewise was occupied yesterday and abandoned at dusk under enemy fire.
The task force from the south estimated it killed at least 150 troops in southern outskirts alone.
Another Allied column similarly withdrew from Kumyangyiang, 11 miles east-southeast of Suwon, after fires fired upon from hills to the north.
An Allied patrol re-entered Suwon last night and took prisoner the only enemy soldier encountered, then withdrew again.
After the fierce initial fight, the Reds fled north out of Suwon. Then the air force came roaring in and mowed them down by the hundreds.
All these towns were considered potential traps and of no particular strategic value.
Tough-Man Cook Cringes At Sight Of Needle
The 22-year-old ex-convict has admitted slaughtering seven persons and is suspected of killing another. But he recoiled in terror when physicians entered his cell with a hypodermic needle.
San Diego, Calif.—(U.P.)—Gunman Bill Cook, who will be tried for his life in Oklahoma on a charge of kidnapping, cringed today as penicillin was injected into his tattooed arm.
"You're trying to put me out," he mumbled in panic.
Cook, a native of Joplin, Mo., has been under treatment for dysentery since he was captured Monday at Santa Rosalia, a Mexican town 600 miles south of here.
Cook will be taken to Oklahoma City for indictment by a federal grand jury that will convene Tuesday.
The justice department announced in Washington late yesterday that the squint-eyed gunman will be tried in Oklahoma on a federal charge of kidnapping under the Lindbergh law. The statute provides a death penalty.
Wichita Firm To Talk To Engineers
The bodies of Mosser, his wife and their 3 young children were found
Don Hansen and Wendell Hays, representatives of the Boeing Airplane company, Wichita, will be in room 111 Marvin hall Friday to interview February and June graduates in mechanical engineering who are interested in design work.
The government will charge him with the kidnap-massacre of all five members of the Carl Mosser family. Cook once boasted he wiped out the Atwood, Ill., family and hid their bodies.
The interviews, beginning at 9 a.m., will be set up at 20-minute intervals. Students who are interested in this type of work may sign the interview schedule in Dean Carr's office.
Many companies have written to Dean T. DeWitt Carr asking him to recommend students to fill openings in their engineering staffs upon graduation.
Monday in an abandoned mine near Joplin. Their blood-smeared auto was discovered Jan. 2 near Tulsa, Okla.
The government's decision halted, for the present, possible proceedings against him in at least three states and Mexico.
He could be tried for holding up Lee Archer of Tahoka, Tex., and stealing his car. The Archer auto apparently had broken down when the Mossers gave Cook a ride, only to have him turn on them.
Missouri or Oklahoma authorities could press charges for the Mossers' murders.

Jay Janes Sell KU Calendars
Selling K.U. calendars now occupies the time of the Jay James.
Marvin Small, assistant secretary of the Alumni Association, told Jay James to sell as many calendars before second semester as possible in a meeting Wednesday.
He explained that calendar sales were just like "a Christmas tree without the tinsel", once the men leave for the service there will be little demand for a datebook.
