India Is Anti-Red Newsman Reports
The Communist party is not popular in India, Phillips Talbot, veteran Chicago Daily News correspondent in Asia, said at a press conference Thursday.
"India is now dealing with domestic and economic problems which must be solved before she can gain leadership in Asia. Experiments in education, social welfare, and agricultural reform are being tried to alleviate internal suffering.
"M: impression is that the Indian people are emotionally determined to protect their recently acquired independence. I am sure they would struggle vigorously in the event of a Communist invasion."
The expert on India and south Asia, who is a senior associate of the Institute for Current World Affairs, said the Indian army is an effective instrument of defense against the main Communist threat in Tibet.
"I believe that active measures to protect the northern frontiers of India have been taken."
"I don't believe that India is moving in the direction of armed conflict 'ince foreign forces would like to see India weakened by strife through internal forces," he said.
On the other hand, he pointed out that India's success in world diplomacy will be dependent on the relationship between India and Pakistan.
"This year between 170 and 180 million men and women will be franchised. This means that four new people will be voting for every single person who voted formerly."
He pointed out that just the printing of ballots involves a tremendous amount of paper and India doesn't
"India is seeking to conduct a foreign policy which will reflect the peaceful ideals of Gandhi and the hopes and dreams of the great masses of people who until a few years ago were under the colonial rule of Western countries," he said.
"At the same time when there remains some suspicion in Indian minds that Western policy still has elements of imperialism, Indian leaders strongly oppose Communist activities in India and resent Communist expansion elsewhere," he said.
He pointed out that these circumstances make it difficult for Indian policy makers to align themselves completely with Western nations.
"Indian leadership recognizes that the current food shortage and economics crisis can be alleviated only with help from the West. In spite of misunderstandings arising between the United States and India, India's foreign policy is likely to swing toward a closer relationship with Western nations."
He cited two reasons for India's sudden rise in activity in the United Nations, India is the spokesman for the Asiatic masses who have emerged from colonization. India is the largest country with the most potential resources in the non-Communist sphere of continental Asia.

KU Dean Is In Article On Talented Americans

Last year Dr. Murphy was named one of the 10 outstanding young men of the nation by the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce.

Arming Germany Could Start War Diplomats Think
Moscow—(U,P)—Some diplomats here said today that rearming of Western Germany over Soviet protests inevitably would lead to a third world war.
They said the Soviet Union is determined to go a long way to avert the revival of German military units. If the Soviet effort fails, they said war would be inevitable.
Observers said the Kremlin is convinced that Germany is the crux of the difficulties between the east and the west.
Six members of the anatomy department gave papers recently before the American Society of Zoologists in Cleveland, at the national convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Some observers believed Moscow would regard any request for clarification of the Soviet views as a maneuver merely to gain time while Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower goes ahead with plans to incorporate German units in an Atlantic pact army under his command.
The Soviet press still has not commented on the exchange of notes between Russia and the three western powers—the United States, Britain, and France—on proposals for a meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers. However, it has published the texts of all the notes.
This research project, which is under the direction of Dr. Young, is a study of the relationship between endocrine activity and sexual behavior.
This Soviet forbearance was taken as a sign that Russia considers the proposed meeting too serious to be prejudiced by preliminary public debate.
Endocrine Study Topic For Papers
The Soviet press also has not published reports that the western powers may seek clarification of the last Soviet note on the question.
In this, Russia again insisted that the demilitarization of Germany be discussed by the foreign ministers, although the western powers had demanded that all sources of tension between the east and west be explored.
Dr. William C. Young, professor, Jerome Grunt, instructor, and Roy Peterson, graduate research assistant, gave papers describing various phases of the research being done in the endocrine laboratory here.
Papers were given also by Dr. Paul G. Roofe, Dr. H. B. Latimer, and Dr. S. W. Lesher,
Reds May Trap Fleeing UN Army
Tokyo—(U.F.)—Spearheads of the a 180,000-man Red flanking column drove 45 miles south of the 38th parallel today in an attempt to trap the U.S. 8th army forces in full retreat south of fallen Seoul.
Some 10,000 Chinese and North Korean troops slashed almost to Wonji, 53 miles southeast of Seoul, in a menacing new offensive aimed straight at the 8th army's retreat highways to Teagu and Pusan.
Hongchon, 23 miles north of Wonju, was under attack from three sides.
In the west, the 8th army rolled on south below Seoul out of contact with the enemy. The United Nations forces did not even attempt a stand on the south bank of the Han river, which flows around the southern and western edges of the former capital.
The Reds also threw patrols across the Han into Seoul's southwest suburb of Yongdungpo and at several other points both northwest and east of the capital. But the enemy seemed in no hurry to pursue the retreating United Nations forces.
The 8th army appeared to be pulling back south through Suwon, 18 miles south of Seoul, in a series of leap-frog retreats. Rear guard
Nearly 1,000 Chinese troops with supporting artillery crossed the frozen Han汉 of Seoul and occupied abandoned Kimpo airfield today, but the Reds made no immediate attempt to seize similarly-abandoned Inchon, key port 18 miles west of the former capital.
patrols kept tabs on the Reds, however, with reconnaissance thrusts into Seoul last night and Yongdungpo today.
Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Eidgway, commander of the 8th army, visited the front and reported on his return to headquarters farther south that "everything is going fine up there."
Spokesmen for Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters and for the U. S. navy announced that U. N. forces completed their evacuation of Inchon while a naval bombardment kept the enemy at bay.

B-26 night bombers reported the heaviest night traffic yet behind the Communist lines with an estimated 1,200 enemy vehicles on the move. Most were spotted between Pyong-yang and the Manchurian frontier.
Fifth air force planes struck at enemy troops on Kimpo airfield and elsewhere along and behind the front on the fifth straight day of the biggest and most sustained air offensive of the Korean war. Their toll of Communist troops during the first four days totalled 7,000.
