US Troops Rush For Manchurian Border
Tokyo, Wednesday, Nov. 1—(U.P).—A tank-tipped U.S. column speared up the northwest coast of Korea today with 25 miles of the Communist emergency capital of Sinuiju on the Manchurian frontier.
Maj. Gen. John H. Church, com-4 mander of the 24th division, ordered
mander of the 24th division, ordered a forced march throughout the night for the regiment leading the push on Sinuiju. He predicted it would reach the Yalu river boundary by nightfall.
The 21st regiment of the 24th division, dubbed task force Stevens for its commander, Col. Richard W. Stevens of Pierre, S. D., struck through the costal stronghold of Sonchon and eight miles beyond it, across the last river barrier short of the Yalu, to a point 25 miles from Sinuiuju.
The North Koreans and their Chinese Communist supporters still were fighting hard in some scattered sectors. But the United Nations troops were in the saddle and riding roughshod over most of the resistance.
Except in the rugged mountains of north-central Korea, the whole Allied push toward the frontiers went into high gear again. Flaring Communist resistance at several points, notably a threat to the great east coast bastion of Hamhung, had checked the march for a time.
The U.S. 24th division took over the lead in the rush toward the Manchurian border. Task force Stevens and his team drove across coast highway in scarcely 24 hours.
Other spearheads of the 24th, along with the Stevens outfit, were ordered to continue their advance all night.
"We have them off balance," General Church said. "If we let them get set we will have to dig them out. I will be very surprised if we haven't reached the Yalu river by Wednesday night. The men are tired. They probably will growl like hell and cuss me out, but in the end it will save lives."
Church added that he also would be greatly surprised if the 21st regiment moving up the coast ran into more than one Communist battalion on the road to Sinuiju.
A U.S. 1st corps spokesman said the 21st instorm, rocketing northward behind a shield of big Pershing tanks, crossed the Chong river, the last natural barrier across the highway, without a fight.
By nightfall the regiment was more than two miles past the Chong and eight miles beyond Sonchon, one town of any size south of the Yalu.
The 19th regiment of the 24th was clearing the road from Chongjiu to Kusong. It was under some mortar and automatic weapons fire Tuesday night from about 500 Communist troops in the hills along both sides of the road.
Some 25 miles to the northeast, the 5th regiment of the 24th division moved three miles north of Kusong to the Igudung road junction, 29 miles from the Yalu.

AWS To Elect Two Wednesday
Six freshman women have been chosen by the Associated Women Students Senate as candidates for freshman representative positions on the Senate.
Candidates for independent representative are Patsy DEfries, Orinne Gray, and Lou Ann Smee, all College freshmen. Marilyn Hawkinson, Nancy Landon, and Marilyn Miller, also College freshmen, are candidates for Greek representative.
Election polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday in Fraser and Strong halls. All freshman women are eligible to vote and each woman may vote for one independent and one Greek representative. Pictures of the six candidates will be posted at the polls to aid the voters.
Burglar Robs Kollmorgen
Dr. Walter M. Kollmorgen, chairman of the department of geography, lost a $50 gold watch and about $20 in cash when a burglar entered his home Saturday afternoon, Oct. 28.
The two representatives will have charge of the Freshman council and will assist the freshman advisory council. Both groups are concerned with the freshman dormitory system to take effect next fall. The freshmen will also work with members of Junior Inter-dorm and Junior Pan-hellenic.
Dr. Kollmorgen said that he was in the backyard of his home at 1313 Massachusetts for about 30 minutes and it was during this time that the thief entered. The front door of the house was open and the burglar apparently went straight to the bedroom where the watch and money were on a table.
Polio Grant Given To Med School
A $92.150 grant from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., to the University of Kansas School of Medicine was announced today by Dean Franklin D. Murphy.
The grant is given for continued research on infantile paralysis. This is the fourth yearly grant to K.U. from the National foundation, and the third subsidy for this particular research problem.
The laboratory study on the grouping of the strains of poliomyelitis viruses is under the direction of Dr. Herbert A. Wenner, associate professor of pediatrics and bacteriology.
"We have succeeded in grouping about 50 strains of poliomyelitis viruses," Dr. Wenner said. "It is possible that this year will see the end of the problem of virus grouping."
The next problem will be the

feasibility of an immunization program to prevent polio, he added. However, this can be decided only when the current study is completed.
Many Changes Mark New Student Directory
Dr. Wenner joined the K.U. faculty in 1946 following two years as instructor of preventive medicine at Yale. He previously was a fellow of the National Research council at Johns Hopkins university and holds the M.D. degree from the University of Rochester.
In 1919, University students had to pay 35 cents for a student directory, although it wasn't issued until Feb. 2. They were happy to pay the price because it had been three years since the last directory was published.
In 1926, the directory was considered a Christmas present because it was distributed shortly before Christmas vacation.
This year's directory was distributed several days earlier than any directory in previous years. Seven thousand, five hundred, green covered, 124-page directories were published this year. To avoid errors, an additional check was made on the names. The registrar's office checked the student list, and the chancellor's office compiled and checked the faculty list and the Kansas City medical school list.
Employees of the University Press worked nights and weekends to get the directory out as early as possible. Forty pounds of ink and 2,300 pounds of paper were used in the production of this year's directory.
In 1934, 4,000 copies of a 77-page directory were distributed. In 1940, an attempt was made to introduce a new style in the directory. Separate lists for men and women, and the listing of telephone numbers before the names, made up the changes. This did not prove satisfactory and was abandoned in the next issue.
The style in this year's book is almost identical with that of the 1849-
A second attempt to change style was made in the 1948-49 directory when the composition of names was done on an IBM typewriter. Again the changes in style did not satisfy the desires of the student and the previous style was resumed in the 1949-50 edition.
The only noticeable change is that the list of organized houses and classified advertising is printed with brown ink on green paper.
There are 149 names with the "Mc" prefix, and 94 with the "Sch" prefixes. Smiths outnumber Brown's 65 to 59. Other popular names are Johnson, 50; Miller, 40; and Jones, 36.
A glance through the new directory reveals that there are 10 Wrights, one Ma, five Wolf's, 29 Whites, four Blacks, eight Greens, 13 longs and 4 shorts, 1 nickel and 3 Mills. One Roosevelt, one Truman, one Moe, two Ladds, one Kidd, 16 Halls, three Walls, three Streets, 13 hills, one Wind and two Clouds.
One Hazard, one Happy, one Dam,
one Earnest, three Knights, 16 Kings,
one Queen, two baron, one Kaiser,
three Loves, two Casebiers, one Barr,
two Hellers, two Christians, and one Wiseman.
Lie To Remain As UN Officer
Flushing, N.Y., Oct. 31—(U.P.) The United Nations General Assembly met today (at 9:45 a.m. C.S.T.) to give Norway's Trygve Lie three more years as secretary-general despite loud objections from Russia.
A 14-power resolution, inspired by the United States, calling for the extension of Lie's term for three years without the formality of a recommendation from the Security Council, was expected to pass easily in the assembly.
The Assembly session was the climax of a battle over Lie between the U.S. and Russia. Soviet delegates were willing to accept anybody—anti-Communist or not—in preference to the Norwegian. But the American delegation warned that it would use its veto for the first time in history against anybody but the onetime foreign minister of Norway.
The U.N. charter states that the Security Council must recommend a candidate for election by the General Assembly as Secretary-General. Russia vetosed Lie, and two other candidates, Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines and Dr. Charles A. Malik of Lebanon, failed to get a major vote.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky told a news conference "If Trygie Lie is imposed as secretary-general upon the U.N. for any new term of office, the Soviet government will not regard him as such and will not deal with him as Secretary-General of the U.N."
