Seven Students Spend Holiday In Hospital
Seven students spent Thanksgiving in Watkins hospital, but the dinner they had on Thanksgiving day would have been a credit to any of their mothers.
The menu included the usual turkey and trimming, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, carrots, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream for dessert.
In the hospital for the holiday were: Elbert K. Stevenson, engineering sophomore; Charles D. Christion, College junior; A. A. Perkins, second year law; Leonard Face, College junior; John S. Ransom, business senior; Robert G. Broady, engineering senior; and Virgil E. Wenger, business junior.
Haworth Award To Be Given On Dec.4
The annual presentation of the Erasmus Haworth award, given to the outstanding senior, graduate, and alumnus in the geology department, will be made by Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, chairman of the department, at the regular meeting of the Geology club to be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4, in Lindley hall.
Names of the winners will not be announced until the award is made.
The Haworth award is named after an outstanding geologist who graduated from the University and pioneered new developments in Kansas geology. A large plaque is displayed on the third floor of Lindley hall. The name of each person who receives the award is engraved on an individual nameplate which is placed on the plaque.
At the meeting colored slides of the national parks will be shown by Sanborn Partridge, instructor in geology.
Actors' Auditions To Be Held Today
Auditions for actors to present the KFKU Players first annual Christmas play, "The Little Stable Boy," will be held at 5 p.m. today at the studio. No experience is necessary for the actors.
The script, adapted from the Bible, was written by Richard Swinson, College junior. The play will be given over KFKU before Christmas vacation. Mrs. Ruby Motta, faculty adviser for the Players, said.
Civil Service Want Engineers
Salaries ranging from $2,650 to $3,823 a year are being offered to engineering students who expect to finish college before June 30, 1951, by the United States Civil Service commission.
Places of employment are throughout the United States, its territories and possessions and in some foreign countries. Some of the positions are trainee positions and are available to qualified sophomore and junior students.
In addition to having completed college or a combination of college and technical experience applicants must pass a written examination in the field in which they apply.
Application blanks may be obtained from the post office. Those who are interested should file their applications before Nov. 30.
Immigration Rules On Subversives
Washington, Nov. 28—(U.P.)-The immigration service clamped on strict new regulations today to keep alien subversives out of the United States.
The rules, issued under the McCarran control act, will have no immediate effect on diplomatic representatives of Russia and satellite nations now in this country, but may apply to many coming here in the future.
Published in today's Federal register, the regulations replace those previously followed by the immigration officers and are effective at once.
AEC Announces Site For H-Bomb Plants
Washington, Nov. 28—(U.P.)-The Atomic Energy commission announced today that construction of plants to make hydrogen superbomb explosives will start early next year at a South Carolina site 15 miles south of Aiken.
The plants will be built by E. I. DuPont de Nemours company on a 250,000-acre track in Aiken and Barnwell counties, South Carolina. Congress has appropriated $260,000,-000 for the project.
The plants will produce tritium, a heavy form of hydrogen which will be the prime explosive of the so-called super bomb. If the H-bomb should prove not to be feasible, the plants could be used to make A-bomb explosives.
No weapons will be made on the site, only their explosive contents.
The A.E.C. and DuPont spent four months looking for a suitable site for the new atomic works. They were assisted by a five-man committee representing leading U.S. engineering firms.
The new project will be known as the Savannah river plant. The river bounds one edge of the tract. DuPont will start breaking ground for the plants as soon as the corps of army engineers has acquired title to the land for the government.
It will be necessary to remove about 1.500 families and re-establish them elsewhere in the next 18 months.
Explosives manufactured at the Savannah river plant will be made into bombs at secret works elsewhere.
There will be radiation hazards at Savannah river just as there are at Hanford. But it was emphasized that protective measures perfected by the Atomic Energy commission have given operation of atomic furnaces a safety record better than general industry's.
Before picking the South Carolina site, the A.E.C. and DuPont examined more than 100 others. Factors considered included military vulnerability, accessibility to towns large enough to house plant personnel, public health, and safety.
DuPont built the mammoth wartime works at Hanford, Wash. where the A-bomb explosive plutonium is manufactured.
Manufacture of H-bomb explosives is a nuclear process like that of plutonium manufacture. The Savannah river atomic reactors, or furnaces, will be of advanced design that is expected to contribute much to the whole atomic project.
The South Carolina plants' function will be primarily military. But if peace should be assured, they can be converted to manufacture of atomic fuels for peatetime purposes.
The A.E.C. will not build an atomic town for the Savannah plant as it did at Hanford.
Stateswomen To Install New Officers
An installation banquet for new officers of Stateswomen's club, an organization of Girls' State alumnae, will be held at 6:15 p.m. Thursday in the English room of the Union.
The recently elected officers are Loretta Cooley, president; Jerry Ann Hhee, vice-president; Marilyn Bailey, treasurer; Joan Fink, alumnae secretary; Ellen Lapton, secretary; and Mary Ann Woods, representative-at-large. A contact chairman will be named later.

Reservations must be made by phoning Nancy Neighbor, 295, before tonight. Kathryn Conrad, retiring president, said alumnae from Girl's State of any state are eligible for membership in the organization and may attend the banquet. She said any alumnae who has not been contacted this year should notify Marilyn Bailey.
Indian Movies To Be Shown
"The Maya through the ages," a color movie showing the present-day life of the Maya Indians and their achievements, will be shown at 4 p.m. Thursday in Strong auditorium. The movie is open to everyone.
The movie depicts the story of the Maya Indians of Central America and southern Mexico whose ancestors created one of the most brilliant civilizations of pre-Columbian times. Scenes from their everyday life, including religious festivals, pottery making, and weaving will be shown.

Carlson Resigns Governorship Today
Topeka, Nov. 28 — (U.P.)— Gov Frank Carlson will bow out today after a "most satisfying experience" as chief executive of the state of Kansas.
Immediately after he hands his letter of resignation to Secretary of State Larry Rary, Lt. Gov. Frank Hagaman will be sworn in for a 4-day term as Kansas' thirty-first governor.
Perhaps Carlson's last official administrative act as the head of state government will be to preside at a meeting of the state emergency fund board at 11 a.m. The group, of which the governor is chairman, is expected to grant some $45,000 in emergency funds to Kansas State college.
Turn In Manuscripts For Trend Now
The U. S. senator-elect will close his office in a brief ceremony shortly before noon.
Manuscripts for this year's first edition of Trend, Quill club publication must be submitted before Friday. This issue, the "Golden Anniversary" number, will also include prize winning stories that have been submitted this year by Quill club members.
The stories should be turned in to Thomas Sturgeon, English instructor, in 211 Fraser.

200,000 Chinese Reds Attack North Korea
Tokyo, Nov. 28—(U.P.)—A horde of 200,000 Chinese Communists swarmed over North Korea today, threatening to trap desperately fighting Allies in an offensive which Gen. Douglas MacArthur said marked the start of "an entirely new war."
Two Sentenced For Conspiracy
Brothman and Miss Moskowitz were the first persons to be sentenced in this country as a result of the confession of Dr. Klaus Fuchs, Britain's atomic scientist who admitted passing top secret information to communist couriers in this country.
New York, Nov. 28—(U.P.)-Abramham Brothman was sentenced to a maximum 7 years in prison and fined $15,000 today for conspiring with atom spy Harry Gold to obstruct justice and for inducing Gold to testify falsely in an espionage investigation.
Gold, a Philadelphia research chemist, was arrested on information obtained from Fuchs by federal agents. He has pleaded guilty to espionage and faces a death penalty. He was principal witness against Brothman and Miss Moskowitz, who were convicted by a federal jury Nov. 22.
Brothman's co-defendant, Miriam Moskowitz, was sentenced to the maximum two years and fined $10,-000 on the one count which charged her with conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Both defendants were convicted of conspiring with Gold to tell a false story of their relationship to a 1947 federal grand jury investigating espionage. Brothman was convicted in addition of inducing Gold to tell a false story to that grand jury.
Federal judge Irving R. Kaufman said he regretted he could not impose a greater sentence.
Brothman headed a chemical engineering firm and Miss Moskowitz was his associate. Gold was employed by the firm for a time. He and former communist spy courier Elizabeth Bentley both testified that they had received industrial plans and blue-prints from Brothman for transmission to Russia.
U. S. Attorney Irving Saypol told the court today that "if the defendants had not been engaged in their shenanigans in 1947, Harry Gold might have been arrested three years earlier."
Fifteen members of the Ennis C. Whitehead squadron of the Arnold Air Society attended a national conclave in St. Louis Nov. 24 and 25. The group traveled by air from the Olathe naval air base. Only two chapters of the Society had more than 15 members present at the conclave.
Air Society To Conclave
Of the 62 colleges and universities which were to be represented at the conclave approximately 35 were able to send delegates. Many eastern schools could not send representatives because of the severe weather conditions.
The 10 members of the University squadron who attended the conclave are: Kermit Baul, Wayne Bradley, Lucien Phoenix, Maurice Wells, College juniors; Bernard Boyle, Keith Moore, Ronald Stang, business juniors; Lloyd Dixon, Clarke Keys, College freshmen; Kenneth Garrett, Richard W. Wood, College sophomores; Bernard Hentzen, James Selig, business seniors; John Kelso, senior, College and medicine; Norton K. Turner, pharmacy junior.
Ronald Stang and Maurice Wells were the official delegates.
The Chinese, pouring like locusts over the countryside as far as the eye could see, ripped through a widening hole torn in the right flank of the UN line. They could be seen along "every road, every gully and every ridgeline," a first corps spokesman said.
Leake said his staff became suspicious at the "unusually heavy" shipments of the drugs to Hong Kong after the Korean war broke out. Between June 18 and Aug. 24, said, 17 tons of drugs were flown to Hong Kong, and the flow since was equally heavy.
The shipments, by wholesale drug firms, were legal. However, local customs agents pointed out that Hong Kong, a British crown colony, could not possibly use such large quantities.
As the Chinese seized the offensive and rocked the Allies back on the defensive, Macarthur issued a brief statement accusing the Chinese of hurling the major part of their fighting force against the U.N.
MacArthur Wanted To Bomb Manchuria
Macarthur said China's full-scale intervention in the Korean war posed issues beyond his authority and asked the U.N. what they wanted to do about it.
London, Nov. 28- (U,P)-G e'n.
Douglas MacArthur asked the United Nations on Oct. 12 for permission to bomb Manchurian bases, an authoritative British source said today.
In a special signed communique, he said Red China had shattered his "high hopes" of an early end to the Korean war that would get American troops "home by Christmas."
The Americans were pulling back behind the northeast sector of the Chongchon river line, while rearguard units fought a desperate delaying action, reminiscent of the series of U. S. withdrawals early in the war.
The spokesman said MacArthur was expected to make the request again in a bid to halt the Chinese Communist offensive in North Korea.
There was no doubt that the Chinese assault had caused a crisis. Macarthur summoned to his headquarters his top field commanders in Korea for an urgent conference. They arrived in Tokyo soon after they received his orders.
He said Britain will oppose any such suggestion as it had opposed it in October. He said he believed the vast majority of U.N. members would stand alongside Britain against any move that might bring full-scale war with China.

Officers said if the Reds succeed in driving west along their present line of advance, they will threaten the main Allied supply line from the former North Korean capital of Pyongyang, which feeds the Chongchon river front.
The ground forces called for desperately needed air support, and Allied planes went out to pour bullets and bombs on the Communist flood. But they could not stem the red tide. Air observers said there were more targets than they could handle.
San Francisco, Nov. 28-(U.P.) Large quantities of penicillin, streptomycin and other so-called "miracle drugs" were shipped from San Francisco to communist China via Hong Kong until the government banned such shipments 12 days ago, customs collector Paul R. Leake disclosed today.
