Acheson Seeks Cold War End In 7-Point Plan
Berkeley, Calif., March 15. (U.P.) Secretary of State Dean Acheson today challenged Russia to join the United States in a seven-point program for ending the cold war.
1. Unification of Germany under a government chosen in free elections under international observation . . . prompt treaties with Austria and Japan . . . A Communist "hands-off" attitude toward new governments in southeast Asia.
But he warned the Kremlin that the United States cannot begin any negotiations until convinced of Russia's good intentions. "We are always ready to discuss, to negotiate, to agree," he said. But we are understandably loath to play the role of international sucker. "We want peace, but not at any price."
Acheson urged Russia to agree to accept international control of atomic weapons, to permit free elections in Germany and eastern Europe, to halt its propaganda attacks on the United States and to stop Communism's imperialistic expansion. He sought to put the East-West issues in black and white so that the basic nature of the conflict could be seen.
His program, he said, would allow both American capitalism and Soviet Communism to exist. It proposes:
2. Withdrawal of Soviet forces from eastern Europe . . . allow the Red satellites to hold free elections.
3. End of policy of "walkout and buyoff" in the U.N.
4. Cooperation of Soviet and American leaders in seeking realistic and effective arrangements for the control of atomic weapons and the limitation of armaments in general.
5. The Kremlin could refrain from using the Communist apparatus controlled by it throughout the world to attempt to overthrow, by subversive means, established governments.
6. Cooperation of Soviet and American leaders to the end that the official representatives of all countries are treated everywhere with decency and respect.
7. Soviet leaders could refrain from systematically distorting to their own peoples the picture of the world outside their borders and of our country in particular . . . what are we now to conclude from the morbid fancies which their propaganda exudes?
Made of beachwood and stainproof, heat resistant plastic, the cabinets are located in the third floor hall of Strong hall. They were designed by members of the faculty of the art department and the plans were drawn by George M. Beal, professor of Architecture.
Art students now have 53 new wood and plastic cabinets and drawers for their supplies.
Meanwhile, Secretary Acheson's speech in San Francisco Wednesday was interpreted in Tokyo as indicating the United States is at last adopting a firm attitude against Communism in Asia. More important, it was believed the United States is now willing to stand behind Far Eastern countries that want to resist the Red tide.
Doubt in the minds of many leaders of Far East countries about America's long range plans have caused them to move cautiously in dealing with the Communist threat. They long have wondered if the U.S. would back them when the chips are down.
Art Students Given New Supply Lockers
Installation of the cabinets was delayed by the reflooring of the halls.

Group To Study Property Law
Property law will be the principa subject for the second annual Law institute at the University of Kansas March 31-April 1, it was announced today by Dean F. J. Moreau of the school of law.
Albert C. Jacobs, recently installed as chancellor of Denver university, will be the speaker at the Friday evening banquet. Chancellor Jacobs was a distinguished teacher of law at Columbia university prior to service with the navy during the war. After the war he added a reputation as and administrator at Columbia, which led to his assumption of the chancellorship at Denver last fall.
Cooperating with the school of law in presenting the institute are the committee on legal institutes of the State Bar association, the Douglas County Bar association and K. U. extension. Attendance at the first institute, which was devoted to procedures, was about 60. Considerably more are expected this year.
Instructors for the institute include Jack Copeland. St. John; Richard O. Jones, Wichita; Judge Albert Faulconer, Winfield; J. B. McKay, El orado; Dean Moreau, Prof. E. A. Stephenson, petroleum engineering, and Prof. William R. Scott.
Women Hear Prof, Burzle
J. A. Burzle, associate professor of German, spoke recently at the monthly meeting of the Kansas City association of American University Women. Mr. Murzle's topic was on German folklore.
Lecture To Tell Of Radiation's Effect On Man
How high-energy atomic particles and radiation affect humans and animals will be the subject of the Sigma Xi "Atomic Energy and Man" lecture this evening at 7:30 in Strong auditorium.
The speaker will be one of the nation's leading authorities on radiation and its effects, Dr. Frank Hoecker, associate professor of physics at the University of Kansas. His subject, "Protoplasm and Atomic Particles" will be presented in layman's language.
Possible benefits and detrimental effects of the rapid increase in human exposure to radiation will be discussed.
He is a certified X-ray and radium physicist. He also is a consultant to the U. S. Public Health service on radium poisoning problems. Since 1947 he has directed a research project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, dealing with effects of radiation on plants and animals.
Dr. Hoecker was an observer a the atom bomb tests at Bikini atol in the summer of 1946.
Type AB Blood Volunteers Wanted
To become a good reporter, Mr Stowe told the group that a solid background in history, government, economics and languages is necessary. While in college, he studied literature in order to prepare himself for a career as a novelist. "I've been trying to fill in gaps in my education ever since," he said.
An outgrowth of this latter project is K.U.'s new graduate program in biophysics of which Dr. Hoecker is the director.
Students or faculty members who are not listed on the Douglas county blood program and who think they have AB type blood are asked to volunteer to be re-typed at Watkins Memorial hospital.
Mr. Stowe started newspaper work in Worcester, Mass., where he received all kinds of assignments. He believes that there is much value in beginning work on a small paper.
The Red Cross list has names of only seven persons with type AB blood which is barely sufficient for emergency needs in Lawrence, explained Dr. Ralph I. Canutson, chairman of the Douglas county blood program of the local American Red Cross chapter.
"I believe I would have gained more experience by working on an even smaller paper," he said. "There is no better place to get a basic knowledge of reporting and journalism than a small town paper."
WEATHER
Wanting to be a fiction writer while in college, Mr. Stowe thought himself too inexperienced. He decided that if he would work as a reporter for two or three years, he would find out something about life. "Life turned out to be more interesting than fiction, though," he said.
No Place For Reporters Who Sneer, Stowe Says
Mr. Stowe believes that to do a good job it is essential for the journalist of today to read constantly. "I would be very distrustful of any reporter who never reads books," he said.
KANSAS: Fair tonight and Friday,
warmer Friday. Lows tonight 30-35
degrees. Highs Friday 65-70 degrees.
.
There is no place today for the newspaper reporter who writes superficially and then retires to the nearest bar to sneer at the world, Leland Stowe, Pulitzer prize-winning reporter, told journalism students and faculty members Wednesday afternoon.
Making money is not as important as doing something you like to do, according to Mr. Stowe. "I didn't go into reporting with the idea that I would make a lot of money, but rather because I thought it would be exciting," he said.
Working with a paper where they print what you write gives you the most wonderful feeling in the world, Mr. Stowe told the group. Before being sent overseas to cover the war, Mr. Stowe was told to "report the war as you find it, leave the editorial writing to us."
The standards of American journalism are much higher than ever before, Mr. Stowe said. "I feel that this is because of the increasing number of better equipped college graduates. Journalism can only survive if it awakes to the times," he said.
