BULLETIN
Washington, Nov. 28 (U.P.)—A state department spokesman said today that Communist China has committed "aggression" in North Korea. He called on the United Nations Security council to order the Reds out of Korea.
He said the U.N. should take up immediately a six-power resolution introduced in the Security council Nov. 10. The resolution would call on the Chinese Communists or any other "outside" power to withdraw any of its individual or army units from Korea.
"This is aggression by the Communist China regime," press spokesman Michael J. McDermott said.
Washington In Dispute Over Book Attacking Hoover, FBI
Washington, Nov. 28—(U.P.)—Grave charges against the F.B.I. directed toward removal of J. Edgar Hoover are stirring arising clamor of dispute here.
Inefficiency, invasions of civil rights and police brutality are among the complaints made against the F.B.I. in a book by Max Lowenthal. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation."
The book exploded in Washington with considerable noise. Mr. Lowenthal has been identified as a close associate of President Truman during his senate days and as his sponsor in friendships which turned him away from the democratic party's conservative elements.
The book is a free-swinging attack on the F.B.I. from Mr. Hoover down more than 500 pages of criticism which the F.B.I.'s friends in congress already are answering.
This association with Mr. Truman, although long inactive, has caused it to be widely believed here that Mr. Lowenthal's book had a pre-publication White House okay. The United Press was informed that no such approval was given.
Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper, (R-LOWA), told the senate Monday the book is "an utterly biased piece of propaganda." He described Mr. Lowenthal as "the New Deal mystery van of Washington."
"By 1940," Mr. Lowenthal continues, "he (Hoover) had reached the conclusion that the F.B.I.'s jurisdiction included the right to investigate subversive activities and persons engaged in any subversive activity or in movements detrimental security."
Mr. Lowenthal states that his book is wholly documented and that the replies of Mr. Hoover and others to all charges are contained in it. His critics challenge this claim of objectivity and assert that material was selected to load the volume against the bureau.
A great many discrepancies have been cited in various reviews and discussions of Mr. Lowenthal's book. An example of what Mr. Hoover's friends call deliberate avoidance of the record in order to smear the F.B.I. appears on page 444 where Mr. Lowenthal recalls a statement by Mr. Hoover in 1924 that the F.B.I. had no jurisdiction outside of criminal cases.
The implication that Mr. Hoover was reaching out on his own for such authority is in line with the left wing and communist efforts over a period of years to discredit the F.B.I. The fact which Mr. Lowenthal
neglected to state is that on Sept. 6, 1839, President Roosevelt by executive order directed the F.B.I. to "take charge of investigative work in matters relating to espionage, sabotage and violations of the neutrality regulations."
Mr. Lowenthal has been charged on the house floor with having served the interests of the communist party. He testified in secret last Sept. 15 before the house Un-American activities committee.
Hearings just made public show that Mr. Lowenthal admitted some association with organizations now regarded as communist fronts but explained he had abandoned them years ago. The committee did not challenge his denial that he knowingly associated with communists or communist organizations or ever aided the party.
The cast for "Overruled" includes: William Conboy, instructor in speech; Ruby Motta, assistant instructor in speech; William Sollner and Edith Lesenden, graduate students. It will be directed by Allen Crafton, professor of drama.
Mr. Lowenthal is a lawyer who has been in and out of government service for nearly 40 years. He usually served as a consultant to senators, senate committees, or government agencies.

Geltch Presents Violin Recital
By Ellsworth Zahm
Waldemar Geltch, violinist, presented a very fine program Monday night before an appreciative audience. Strong auditorium was nearly full for the performance, one of a series of faculty recitals.
Professor Geltch opened the program with Beetethovens "Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op. 12, No. 3" and then skillfully played the Sibelius "Concerto for Violin." His outstanding musical background was quite evident from his beautiful treatment of the Sibelius concerto.
BULLETIN
The "Berceuse" by Arensky was suitably soft and appealing. His last number, the lilting "Ballade et Polonaise" by Vieuxtemps was very neatly done.
Miss Winifred Gallup, pianist, who is attractive as well as talented was excellent as Professor Geltch's accompanist.
Lake Success, N.Y., Nov. 28* (U.P.)
-The United States accused Chinese Communists to their face in the United Nations today of "open and notorious" aggression against Korea.
Already they outnumber defenders at least two to one.
"This situation, repugnant as it may be, poses issued which must find their solution within the councils of the United Nations and chancelleries of the world."
Cloaked in his statement also is his apparent belief that, like it or not, we now are fighting China, and that the matter of Chinese "volunteers" in Korea now no longer enters into the question.
Ultimately there probably will be raised some question about our intelligence service in Korea—how we could launch an offensive, without knowing the hordes of enemy forces awaiting us.
The disheartening turn of events in Korea, points up fears which have been felt in Europe all along, and particularly since the start of our ill-fated offensive in Korea last week. Both the French and the British have feared we—and they, along with us—would be dragged into World War III before we are ready for it.
They feared that an offensive in Korea, before all avenues of negotiation had been explored by the United Nations, might be the springboard to launch such a war, with the hordes of Russia as well as China arrayed against us.
MacArthur apparently feels there no longer is anything he can do to assure China of our good intent—that originally at least, we had no intention of crossing the Korean border into Manchuria.
It is said in Tokyo that his now-famous promise to have American G.L's "home by Christmas" was designed to reassure the Chinese that we had no intention of staying in Korea once the job there was done, and to let American soldiers know they had a limited job to do.
No, however, he says the picture is clear:
More than 200,000 Chinese have poured across the border into Korea. Up to half a million more await only orders to move.
Today, however, the question is one for the diplomats—whether, with Red Chinese delegates now appearing before the United Nations assembly, some last minute solution can be found. Or whether all that has gone before will be for nothing and the real war is just beginning.
Russian Picture To Be Shown Today
A Russian picture, "1812," with English titles will be shown at 4 p.m. today in the Visual Instruction room in Fraser hall. The Russian department which presents the picture has arranged another show of the movie at 7 p.m. Wednesday in 426 Lindley hall.
The film is the dramatization of Napoleon's defeat by the Russian army under Marshal Kutuzov in 1812, which bears a remarkable similarity to the recent conflict between Germany and Russia. The film has been acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest Soviet cinema achievements in years. Produced in the U.S.S.R. during the war, it is based on the Stalin prize novel by Wanda Wassilevskay and tells us a great deal about the change of attitude that took place in Soviet Russia during the German invasion.
