'Jimmy' Is Painted; Engineers Say No
Jimmy Green has suffered another painting. Persons unknown splashed him with sunflower yellow paint Monday night and painted "ENGR." on the base of the statue.
F. J. Moreau, dean of the law school, said today; "I think it's high time that this sort of conduct be enacted. I see no fun in it at all—and I think I have a pretty good sense of humor, too. This is matrious destruction of state property."
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the school of engineering, said: "We have had a mutual understanding pact with the law school for some months, during which time we have had some wholesome athletic contests. It is intangible that the engineers would paint Jimmy's statue. The diversion of someone doing something and using another persons name has been done again with the painting of "ENGR" on the statue."
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said; "It may be a usual custom, but we don't like to use our time and money cleaning up after vandals."
Engineering students disclaimed all knowledge of the painting, but seemed to think it harmless fun.
Frank Austin, engineering sophmore, said: "I didn't know anything about it. It breaks my heart, but I'm all for it."
John Addington, engineering seni-
sion said; "I'm all for it."
Scott Campbell, engineering sophomore; "Can't be much wrong with it. It seems to be just a tradition."
William Michener, engineering freshman; "I didn't even know that it was painted. It keeps up a healthy rivalry between the schools."
Law students didn't have much to sap on the question. Comments ranged something like this:
William Conroy, 2nd year law "Juvenile."
Robert Gorham, freshman law,
"Anybody would do it just for
kicks."
Sigma Delta Chi Elects Officers
Dewayne Oglesbee, journalism junior, was elected president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, at a meeting Monday.
Others elected were Jack Corporon, vice president; Harold Benjamin, secretary; and Richard Tatum, treasurer. All are journalism seniors.
Edward Chapin, journalism sen-
tion, is the retiring president.
Other comments from the lawyers were "We don't know who painted it. Let them have their fun here their days of ioy are about over."
Dean Moreau estimated that it costs from $35 to $50 to remove the paint from the statue every time it is painted. He said that it usually takes four men an entire day to clean it.
5 From KUTo Religious Meet
The second annual Seventh Providence Canterbury conference will be held Wednesday, Dec. 27 through Saturday, Dec. 30 at the University of Oklahoma, Norman. Episcopal students from all the major universities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas will attend.

Crafton To Attend Theatrical Meet

'False' Attacks On Acheson Denounced By The President
Washington—(U.P.)—President Truman today denounced "false" attacks on Secretary of State Dean Acheson and firmly rejected Republican demands that he fire him.
"I refuse to dismiss Secretary Acheson." Mr. Truman said in a statement read at his news conference.
1. Denied a published rumor that Defense Secretary George C. Marshall would be succeeded early next year by chairman W. Stuart Symington of the national security resources board.
"If communism were to prevail in the world, as it shall not," the President said, "Dean Acheson would be one of the first, if not the first to be shot by the enemies of liberty and Christianity."
Calling for "unity and real bipartisanship," Mr. Truman said no government official "has been more alive to communism's threat to freedom or more forceful in resisting it" than Mr. Acheson.
Mr. Truman also;
2. Called on critics of Acheson and the administration's foreign policy to stop their "pious generalities" and come forward with any alternatives.
3. Challenged suggestions that a
The President noted in his statement that Acheson is in Brussels working with the North Atlantic pact council and had made it possible for him to designate Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as supreme Allied commander of anti-communist European defense forces.
wave of isolationism is rising in this country.
4. Said American troops will be sent to Europe to join the unified North Atlantic forces just as soon as it is possible to get them ready.
He described recent attacks on Acheson in congress, largely from Republican quarters, as "false" and with "no basis in fact whatever."
Recalling that a similar situation had bothered President Lincoln when there were demands that he oust Secretary of State Seward, the President said "I refuse to dismiss Secretary Acheson."
Wilkins, Wife Will Present Voice Recital
Joseph F. Wilkins, head of the department of voice, and his wife, Marie Wilkins, will present a joint recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 3, in Hoch auditorium.
This will be the first joint concert of Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins at the University for more than two years. The Wilkins were in Europe the past year, while Mr. Wilkins was on a sabbatical leave from the University. Mr. Wilkins, tenor, has taught at the University since 1935 and Mrs. Wilkins, soprano, was a guest artist teacher here from 1945-49.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins studied singing in Europe for three years after graduating from Cornell university, Ithaca, N.Y. They sang in light opera in the east, and sand principal roles at the St. Louis Municipal opera.
Mrs. Wilkins has sung leading coloratura roles at the Metropolitan opera of New York. At her debut there in 1942 she was featured in articles in Time and Newsweek.
Since the 50th anniversary of the death of the Italian composer, Guiseppe Verdi, falls on Jan. 27, Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins have prepared a program which will include works of pre-Verdi Italian composers and selections from Verdi operas. The couple will sing arias and duets from "La Traviata," "Rigoletto," "Luisa Miller," and "Othello."
The public is invited to attend the concert, which is one of a series of School of Fine Arts faculty recitals.

G. M., the world's largest automaker, announced Monday it will hold up sales of 1851 Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Cadillacs until the economic stabilization agency re-considers.
Economic Stabilizer Alan Valentine and price administrator Michael D, DiSalle received G.M.'s demand last night. They made no comment except to say they will study the proposal.
E. S.A. ordered the rollback several hours after President Truman declared a state of national emergency Dec. 16. It served as a severe reprimand to G.M. and three other automakers—Ford, Chrysler, and Nash—which also had ignored government requests not to boost prices during the current period of international tension.
North Koreans Will Fight On To South
The broadcast implied Chinese communist troops would take part in a drive south of the 38th parallel, and called on the people to "prevent the U.S. army from destroying Seoul" and to sabotage United Nations forces in that area.
Tokyo,—(U.P.)—The North Korean government said in a broadcast tonight that the Communist army intends to invade South Korea, capture Seoul, establish a unified Korean government and drive American troops from the country.
Defense Director Looks To Christmas
"I feel that the Christmas holiday this year represents the most crucial and dangerously critical instant in the crisis which has been building up since last June," Browning said in an interview.
Concord, N.H. — (U.P.)— Admiral Miles R. Browning, (Ret). state civil defense director, said today Russia is more likely to attack the United States on Christmas day than any other time.
Steelman recessed the talks at 2 a.m., C.S.T., and scheduled further meetings for 10:30 a.m.
Washington—(U.P.)—Weary negotiators for railroad unions and management adjourned another 13-hour bargaining session early today, and Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman reported that "some further progress was made."
Second 13-Hour Railroad Session
The overnight session was the sec-
consecutive 13-hour conference.
The bird, shot near uiny, Ill., is all-white, weighs 15 pounds, has a seven-foot wingspread and measures about $5\frac{1}{2}$ feet. It was killed by hunters Joe Heckenkamp and his two sons, who said it honked like a Canada goose before they shot it.
Swan Meets Goose Result Is Swoose
Springfield, Ill. — (U,P) — Word leaked out today that the Illinois Conservation department has come across a bird it believes to be a "swoose."
Heckenkamp took the bird to Dr. *T. E. Musselman, Quincy naturalist. Musselman carefully examined the bird. It didn't fit the characteristics of either a goose or a swan, put resembled both.
Finally, after days of checking, Musselman concluded that the bird must be a hybrid resulting from the mating of a large white snow goose with a "mute," or English swan. In other words, a "swoose."
