Chinese Reds Possess Army Of 10 Million
Hong Kong, Oct. 25—(U.P.)The Chinese Communists announced today they had more than doubled their armed strength past the 10 million mark and sent spearheads marching on Tibet.
Units of the 5 million man regular Chinese Communist army were reported by the Communist New China News agency advancing to "free 3 million Tibetans from imperialist aggression."
The news agency also disclosed Peiping had organized a "people's militia" of $5\frac{1}{2}$ million men to supplement the huge regular army.
The agency said 500,000 of the militia men were raised in Manchuria to support a like number of regulars across the border from North Korea.
The agency did not mention the Korean situation but observers said the buildup of military strength turned Manchuria into an armed camp at a time when North Koreans were fleeing in panic toward the Yalu river boundary.
Hungnam, North Korea. Oct. 25-(U.P). U.S. intelligence officers seeking evidence of a Russian atomic research project here today found a heavily guarded concrete structure full of fantastic electrical equipment.
In addition to Chinese Communist troops in Manchuria, reliable but unconfirmed reports said there were about 10 Russian divisions there, mostly in the Dairen and Port Arthur area.
No responsible official is prepared to say there is any basis to reports of local civilians that the Russians carried on atomic research here, and the massive building heavily sand-bagged against bombs is shrouded with mystery.
Fantastic Machines Found
The monstrous machines inside the building apparently were undamaged by Allied bombings that rocked this North Korean port city. The machines, screened from the eyes of North Koreans, defied the limited technical knowledge of the intelligence officers.
Truman Asks For UMT
Washington, Oct. 25.—(U.P.)-President Truman today renewed his request for a universal military training law to eradicate the "disgraceful discovery" that so many young Americans are unfit for armed service.
He urged National Guard official from every state to make a new all-out effort for U.M.T. which he has requested of Congress eight times. He described as one of the "most disgraceful things in the history of this country" the discovery through selective service that 34 per cent of American men and women were physically or mentally unfit for service in the armed forces.
Chinese Reds In Korea
Tokyo Oct. 25—(U.P.) An unconfirmed report reported to a war prisoner said today that 20,000 Chinese Communist troops had entered North Korea and taken up defensive positions.
A United Press correspondent with the U.S.1st corps in Korea said the South Korean army reported it had captured a Chinese Communist soldier in Korea and he told of the mass entry into Korea by his fellow troops.
Intelligence officers at Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said they had not received any reports along the line of that from the South Koreas. Tokyo observers were inclined to move cautiously in evaluating the report.

Blues' Official Talks To SAM
Parke Carroll, business manager for the Kansas City Blues, spoke on the operations of a baseball team at a meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Management Tuesday.
"The 1920's were the golden age of sports," Mr. Carroll said. The greatest growth in attendance at sports contests came during this decade and consequently most of the field houses and stadiums were built in this period.
The increase in attendance at athletic contests was due primarily to increased incomes, more leisure hours, more great athletes, better publicity through radio and newspaper, and the ease of transportation, he said.
"No minor league baseball team would have figures in the black if it were not for the concessions, because the attendance was not high enough," Mr. Carroll said.
The Blues sold television and radio rights in an effort to see if television would cut down the attendance at games but "Tm afraid the test wasn't a fair one though," said Mr. Carroll, "because the Blues had a losing season and subsequently the attendance dropped."
Novel Stage Productions Entertain Small Audience
Charles Middleton, business senior,
told of a field trip to be held Thursday,
Nov. 2. All the members interested
in attending should meet at the Union at noon Thursday. The trip will be taken through the Buick,
Oldsmobile, Pontiac plant of General Motors in Kansas City, Kan.
He said that in previous years radio had created interest but this year a person could get five games, most of them major league games, any day on the radio. This hurts the minor leagues Mr. Carroll said.
By RICHARD HUNTER
Richard Miner, engineering sophomore, was selected to be chairman of the field trip. Special guests for the meeting were Arthur C. Lonborg, director of athletics, and Ernest Quigley, former athletic director.
The club will meet again Tuesday, Nov. 14 when two representatives from the General Electric Supply corporation will speak on television.
Possibly because of the small audience, or because stage reading is new to the cast, the play had a slugish beginning. But after Victoria, the impish and whining daughter of Mrs. Slater, played by Nancy Gill, College freshman, got the show's first laugh, the play picked up.
Seventeen persons, the smallest audience ever to attend a University Players' laboratory production, saw two very different and interesting plays in the Little theater of Green hall Tuesday.
Mrs. Slater, a vigorous, straight-talking woman who usually gets her own way, was well played by Phyllis Clegg, education senior. Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Slater's sister, also used to getting her way, was read by Janice Broadson. education senior.
Ben Jordan, was played by Wayne Knowles, College freshman. Donald
The first play, a stage reading, was "The Dear Departed" by Stanley Houghton. In a stage reading the players sit around a table and read passages of poetry while a narrator reads the stage business and continuity. It is much like a radio show, except that the audience is able to see the actors.
Because a stage reading limits the actors to the use of their voices it is usually difficult to keep the audience interested. However, Mary Kay Palmquist, director of the reading, chose a lively, humorous script, and a good cast that held the audience's attention.
The play deals with the efforts of two greedy sisters and their husbands to get the money they believe the sisters' father left when he died. However, the spry old gentleman did not die, but was merely a sound sleeper. He comes downstairs from his "dice bed", and overhears their plotting, and announces that all his money will go to the Widow Shorocks, whom he is going to marry that afternoon.
Zurbuchen, engineering senior, did an excellent job as Mrs. Slater's hen-pecked husband. The grandfather, Abel Merryweather, was played by Edgar Hurst, education senior.
"Romance of the Willow Pattern," the second play, is the story of two Chinese lovers who were killed by the girl's father for daring to see each other against his wishes. The two dead lovers turn into doves and happily fly away, leaving a very frightened father. The play was adopted from an old Chinese folktale of how the willow pattern on China dishes, two doves holding a willow branch, originated.
The play, which was meant to be serious, was turned into a delightful face by its director, Mary Beth Moore, College sophomore. She had the "property man," Ernestine Pulliam, education junior, walk on stage in a bored manner, and hand each property to the actors as it was needed.
The narrator Mary Herring, College junior, kept the play running smoothly and at a fast clip.
The boy, Chang, was played by Mark Glilman, College freshman Koang-Su, his girl friend, was Diana Sherwood, education senior. Both actors had several long and difficult speeches which they delivered effectively.
The father was humorously portrayed by Wilson O'Connell, College senior, Margaret Fisher, education junior, added a "Hellzapopin" effect by crossing the stage at intervals carrying a large bowl filled with burning incense.
Justice Department Pulls In Alien Reds
Wallace Turns Against Reds
New York, Oct. 25—(U.P.)—Henry A. Wallace said today the United Nations should be reorganized without Russia if the Soviet Union refused to serve "in good faith" on a U.N. Korean commission.
Mr. Wallace, former secretary of commerce who was fired by President Truman in 1946 for criticizing U.S. foreign policy toward Russia, said the "real test will come when the United Nations' forces win in Korea."
"Under U. N. leadership there should be an election, with no fear of reprisal by either side," he said. "Eventually, Russia will be given the opportunity to serve on the U.N. commission to Korea, and if she will not serve on such a commission in good faith, then the time has come to divide the world in two and revamp the U.N. accordingly."
In an article in the November issue of Coronet magazine entitled "How I'd stop the march of Stalin," the one-time vice-president said the Stalin menace will be greater than the Hitler menace ever was.
"Up until 1948, I thought Russia's needs were such that it was possible to arrive at a binding peaceful understanding at a cost far less than a shooting war." Wallace said. "But now I am firmly convinced that Russia wants a continuous cold war, and as soon as she is ready, she will want a shooting war.

Army Standards For Nurses Changed
Standards for army nurses have changed, Virginia Crook, former army nurse in the Pacific theater, told members of the Pre-Nursing club Tuesday.
The army now prefers registered nurses who are also college graduates, Miss Crook said. Previously a woman with only her R.N. degree could get a commission, she added. The former army nurse commented that navy nurse standards are also being raised.
Miss Crook was graduated from Wichita university and took her nurse's training at St. Francis hospital, Kansas City, Mo. She is enrolled as a special student in the College.

Washington, Oct. 25- (U.S.)—More than a third of the nation's "most active and most important" alien Communists were behind bars today awaiting deportation proceedings.
As of last night, immigration service agents had arrested 30 of the 86 alien Reds whom the Justice department considers the most dangerous in the United States.
The new Internal Security Act provides that the government may hold such aliens in custody pending deportation. It previously had little or no control over their activities.
Only "hardship" cases are being released on bail now.
The nationwide search, which started Sunday, has produced aliens from more than 15 countries in more than a dozen cities. The Justice department said all were propaganda specialists.
. The department may hold them in custody, under bail or on conditional parole pending final deportation orders, and then for six months pending actual deportation.
Aliens may be kept under strict supervision after that time if the government cannot ship them out of the country. Some other country must agree to accept them before the aliens can be deported.
The following aliens were arrested since late Tuesday:
Christ Delarna Mensales, 42, in Stockton, Calif. He was formerly president of the Portland local of the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packers and Allied Workers union, and more recently affiliated with the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers union at Stockton. He had been released on bond earlier pending a deportation hearing.
Professor Gaston To Speak Thursday
The general subject of his talk will be the influence of music on the behavior of children. Professor Gaston began research work in this field 15 years ago while a music director in the public schools.
Prof. E. Thayer Gaston, professor of music education, will speak Thursday in Lincoln, Neb., at the annual State Teachers' convention.
William Sears, assistant instructor in music education, will attend the conference to assist Professor Gaston. They plan to use slides, photographs, and paintings to illustrate the talk.
Professor Gaston, who is national chairman of the Committee of Functional Music, of the Music Educators' National conference, spoke the past year to the same annual teachers' convention which was held in Omaha.
Students in the Influence of Music on Behavior, a course in the music education department, visit Winter Veterans' hospital in Topeka Oct. 20.
Music Education Class To Topeka
At the hospital the group observed the use of music with the patients and attended a discussion meeting of adjunctive therapists, people in music, occupational, and other therapy work.
At least two of the students, Richard Gray and Walter Lancaster, both graduate students in music education, start an internship of six months at the hospital next semester. The internship, following certain required courses at the University, leads to a Masters degree in music education with a major in functional music.
