Suspicion,Hatred No Peace Recipe
Suspicion and hatred can never be sound foundations of international co-operation, Dr. Ambrose Saricks, assistant professor of history, told members of "The World In Crisis" class Tuesday. He said this indicated clearly the attitude which existed after World War I and which led to many failures on the part of all major nations of the world to effect a lasting peace.

"The end of World War I did not, as some people forget, at once bring an end to continued warfare". Dr. Saricks said. One reason for the rapidity with which the Paris peace conference tried to push on its work was the fact that even during its sessions there were, by actual count, no fewer than 23 small scale wars being waged in the central and eastern portions of Europe."
Two features of allied policy during the armistice period which reacted heavily upon subsequent history were pointed out by Dr. Saricks, "One was the continued allied blockade inadequately justified" as a guarantee that Germany or Austria would not break the armistice and re-open the struggle. The other aspect was "active intervention against the new Communist regime in Russia."
"There were other factors growing directly out of the period of warfare which worked against the establishment of a lasting peace," said Dr. Saricks. "Among these were the restorations necessarily brought about by the devastations of war and which placed a heavy economic burden upon nations who could ill afford to bear it. Another factor, Dr. Saricks said, was the fact that war expenditures had produced huge increases in the domestic indebtedness of most nations. He outlined general developments in the post-war era, the fate of international co-operation, disarmament and its complications and results, and the trials of democratic governments.
Dr. Saricks said "democracy is no universal panacea. It can succeed among a people only after long experience and education; only after gradual evolution over a long period. Democracy more or less imposed upon a people not properly prepared or educated for it has no firm roots."
Stressing the facts concerned with the spread of totalitarianism, Dr. Saricks said that Russia, Italy, and Germany were only the most famous examples of the triumph of this form of government. He pointed out that Hungary, Austria, Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Rumania, Poland, and Turkey were, in the 1930's also ruled by dictators. He said there was little the democracies could do about the spread of totalitarianism.
At the approach to World War II Britain committed herself to the support of Poland against threats to that country's independence. France readily pledged her support to the alliance and looked to Russia for support.
"Unfortunately, the Russians had not forgotten Munich, nor the British been entirely freed of the fear of Comintern activities in furtherance of the goal of Communist revolution throughout the world." Dr. Saricks said. The continuance of such mutual suspicions opened the way for the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact of Aug. 23, 1939, which made the second world war inevitable."
Extension Man Called To Navy
Carl James, assistant for the past year and a half to Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension will leave Oct. 1 to report for extended active duty with the U.S. Navy.

Local Red Cross To Meet Today
A meeting will be held at 7:30 to night in the Douglas County Red Cross office in the Community building to form Red Cross civilian defense plans in Lawrence.

For those persons who have not been reauthorized as first aid instructors for several years a refresher course will be given. Attendance at the meeting does not mean that the person must teach a class although that is what is desired.
Tonight's meeting will be mainly for forming plans as to how to meet the government's plans for civilian defense which call for one out of every eight persons to be trained in first aid. A safety film entitled, "Miracle of Paradise Valley" will also be shown at the meeting.
ISA Council Starts Plans
No definite plans have been made for this year's activities of the Independent Students association, but the council met the past week to begin preparations, said Richard Krimminger, president of the organization.

Commenting on the response to I. S. A. orientation week activities, Krimminger said there were "swell turnouts" for the parties.
Students are still needed for the office staff and in both the business and editorial phases of the I.S.A. paper. Anyone interested should go to the I.S.A. office.

Marines Raise Flag In Captured Seoul
Seoul, Korea, Sept. 27—(U.P)—A dirty-faced U.S. marine raised the stars and stripes over the American Ambassador's residence here today.
The flag raising at the looted residence of Ambassador John Muccio in the western part of the town was not the solemn affair you might have expected after almost two weeks of bitter fighting.
AWS Plans Fall Project
Members of the Associated Women Students' House of Representatives were introduced to each other, their officers and committee chairman, and their work for the year at the first meeting Tuesday.
Gertha Harper, College sophomore, and Ann Wagner, education sophomore, were named as candidates for the House secretary and Sue Swartz, College junior, and Loretta Cooley, College sophomore, were named as candidates for House representative to the Senate.

Burbank, Calif.-(U.P.)-The Lockheed F-90 penetration fighter plane can change its wing shape in flight, Lockheed aircraft disclosed Monday.
Projects for the year, the precinct program for women in unorganized houses, the social calendar, and A.W.S. office work were also discussed. Corena Belknap and Loretta Cooley, College sophomores, were named as the food committee for the joint House-Senate dinner meeting tentatively set for Tuesday, Oct. 17.
Wings Change In Flight
The disclosure, made in a newly published factory brochure, indicated that the F-90 can take off with its wings in the "forward" straight leading edge position, then change in flight to a radical sweep for supersonic flight.
Wind tunnel testing has "thoroughly proved the practicability of this design" for all around fighter aircraft performance, the company indicated.
Lockheed officials declined to comment on reports that two models of the F-90 have been flighttested at Edward Air Force base at Muroc. Calif.
Engineers pointed out that such a wing design would permit a pilot to take off with a straight wing at relatively low speed and high wing loading, climb to a high altitude and then knife through the sonic speed range with the wings folded back to a 35-degree sweep. The wing would be moved forward again to the straight position for landing.
Graduate Wins Supervisory Job
In a letter to T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering, D. S. Roberts, assistant manager of the Technical Recruiting Division for the company, said "The men chosen for these supervisory positions are those who have demonstrated their leadership ability during our test training program. It is possible that some of the men will be asked to take additional supervisory responsibility, such as head of a Test Section.
Thurston Cowgill, '49, a graduate of the School of Engineering, has been chosen for a supervisory position in the Steam Turbine Division of General Electric company.
Mr. Cowgill took the job August 14.
The marines made it a celebra-
The marines made it a celebration. They joked and yelled while sprawled on the front lawn as a precaution against snipers.
A shot rang out and a sniper's bullet whistled over the heads of the marines watching the flag-raising.
One of them spotted the sniper to the roof of the burning Daksoo PHC ace which housed the United Nations offices before the retreat last June.
The leathernecks were for going after "that S.O.B." in a body. But their company commander said only one marine could shoot at the sniper "because there is only one sniper."
the marine took aim, fired, and the sniper fell off the roof.

London. Sept. 27—(U.R.)—Smoke from forest fires in Canada, which darkened the northeast part of the United States, has drifted 3,000 miles across the Atlantic ocean to Britain, air ministry meteorologists said today.
The meteorologists said the smoke probably explained the "blue sun" and "blue moon" Britain had late yesterday and early today.
Smoke Drifts Across Atlantic
They said smoke probably moved into a haze layer six to eight miles over Britain, giving the sun and moon a blue appearance.
Men of the army's 32nd regiment swept down from Namsan (South Mountain) and captured the Communist prison in the eastern outskirts of the burning city late yesterday.
400 American Prisoners Liberated In Seoul Battle
Maj. Gen. E. M. Almond, commander of the 10th corps, announced the rescue of the first sizeable batch of American prisoners from the Communists and said the men were being examined by 7th division doctors.
Canberra, Australia, Sept. 27—(U.P.)—Joseph Chiffley, head of Australia's labor party, notified Premier Robert Menzies today that his party would not support the government's new army recruiting campaign.
Mr. Chiffley, in a letter to the premier, said he was against the new policy that would require recruits to serve anywhere.
Seoul, Korea, Sept. 27—(U.P.)-U.S. forces have accomplished one of their main objectives in the battle for Seoul—the liberation of 400 American war prisoners.
Bodies of the victims, all with coats on, were found within 100 yards of safety. The few seconds it took to put on the coats, probably as protection against the heat, would have allowed them to reach the pit mouth.
Putting On Coats Brings Death To 22 Trapped Miners
Cresswell, England, Sept. 27—(U.P)
—Examination of the bodies of 22 of the 80 miners killed in the Cresw- mine mine disaster indicated today they probably could have saved their lives if they had not stopped to put on coats.
