Bomb Bars Isolation Says Doris Fleeson
Korean Division Reaches Border
The atomic bomb in the possession of Russia is the element which forever bars us from turning back to comfortable isolationism, Doris Fleeson said Tuesday in the third "World In Crisis" lecture.
Tokyo, Oct. 4-4 (U.R.)—A third South Korean division wheeled into line on Korea's 38th parallel today, amid increasing indications that United Nations forces were getting ready for their final big offensive to crush the North Korean Communist army.
American superforts and light bombers, attacking in dirty weather, reported increasing enemy activity along railroads and highways both northeast and northwest of Pyongyang, North Korean capital. Pyongyang is expected to be the west coast anchor of the next big Communist defense line, running from there to Wonsan on the east coast.
The South Korean Sixth division reached Jinjan, a village barely one mile south of the parallel after a march of more than 100 miles in less than three weeks.

Fleeson Recalls College Days
Bv MONA MILLIKAN
Touring the campus and the past simultaneously, Miss Doris Fleeson,'23, Washington correspondent, interspersed recollections of her college days with comments on her present work.
The attractive brunette had acknowledged the introduction of the Kansan reporter with her ready smile and an invitation to join her in a short walk around the campus.
As we passed Blake hall, Miss Fleeson remembered she had taken a course in physics there. "It was so bad," she recalled, "absolutely terrifying." She started out "like a house afire" with 100 on the first exam, but dropped to 34 on the next test and "never did much better."
An economics major, she had to take Economics 90 under Dr. John Ise, and considers herself lucky "to find a course and a professor that just suited me. I had a marvelous time and was glad to go to class." Why an economics major for a prospective journalist? "Politics is largely a matter of economics in these days." Miss Fleeson said, and quoted Cordell Hull's "peace through trade" statement.
Classes were just out and Miss Fleeson mused that "seeing all these girls makes me homesick for mine." Her only child, Doris O'Donnell,
We were across the street from Bailey laboratories now and Miss Fleeson said that was where she had taken chemistry under Professor Cady. "It was my 8 o'clock class," she laughed, "and I was always late. One morning the professor stopped his lecture when I came in and said, 'Miss Fleeson, you'll be late for your wedding.'"
The Chi Omega house was in front of us now and Miss Fleeson said, "That is the lot I bought." She explained she had been treasurer of the sorority during one of her school years, and they had decided they needed a new house. From that time on whenever the president called for the treasurer's report, Miss Fleeson "was always busy, had lost the treasurer's report, or the figures were confused because I'd made a mistake." "They all hated me and thought I was a poor treasurer," she commented, "but at the end of the year we had enough to buy the lot."
Hobbies? "My work is my way of life," she said, "and everything I do is part of it." She has a house in Georgetown, "100 years old and very nice," and her daughter. They both take some of her time, she added.
She has no set schedule for the day, but does follow a certain routine. It includes reading all the Washington morning papers, plus the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
"Reading is one thing you must take time for," Miss Fleeson said, "and you shouldn't stint it."
"My column is not an opinion column," she asserted. "I base everything I say on personally collected facts, I know and am acquainted with these people and I see them, hear them, and talk to them before writing about them." She calls hers an "interpretative news" column, because she likes to give the background and explanation of the news that wouldn't be allowed in a straight news column.
Miss Fleeson is an associate member of the K.U. chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary fraternity for journalism women. She received the fraternity's Headliner award for distinguished journalism the past June.
She recommended that the audience read John Hersey's "Hiroshima." "In terms of the experience of ordinary people like you and me, it tells us what can happen and what must be prevented from happening again if civilization is to survive," Miss Fleeson said.
She reviewed the United States' position as the foremost world power at the war's end, and pointed out that our treasury and national resources were depleted.
She said America can always be proud of UNRRA and the economic statesmanship of the Marshall plan, in spite of the fact we haven't planned wisely since the end of World War II.
"We also did better than we realized at San Francisco with the United Nations organization which is serving so well in Korea and may help us to retrieve an Asian policy which has a chance of success," Miss Fleeson said. Unfortunately, these moves were not part of a master plan for waging peace."
"One factor in the world picture must be faced. It is the expanding demand of all peoples everywhere, whatever their race, creed, and color, for a greater share in the good things which their labor produces."
The East does not wish to copy our definitions or the material aspects of our way of life, but they do want to be free. Miss Fleeson said.
"We are now having to deal with new governments and with inexperienced people whose ways and aspirations often difficult for us to understand.
"We have lost China to the Communists and must face that fact. The war damages we sent to the Philippines after giving them their independence have been spent unwisely. We should have directed this spending." Miss Fleeson said.
"Our occupation of Japan is successful as far as it has gone. We have not yet solved the problem of what place Japan can take in the free world; or how that overcrowded nation could be so confined to which we have confined it; or where it can find customers for trade."
Miss Fleeson was a war correspondent in Europe during the last war and was only recently able to visit the Far East. Arriving in Tokyo, she was invited to be the guest of General MacArthur. She said he was a hard man to interrupt and that he did all the talking. She asked him for another interview after she had seen the Asiatic sectors, but when the time came he was too busy to see her.
It is easier to see and talk to President Truman than to General MacArthur, Miss Fleeson said.
She said that any morning you walk down Pennsylvania avenue in Washington, D.C., you can see and talk with President Truman. But not so with MacArthur. The general lives a secluded life, Miss Fleeson said.
