Reds Promise 'Golden Year For Chinese
Hong Kong, Feb. 18.—(U.P.) All China meets its first native new year under a Communist regime today amid growing economic difficulties.
and grow.
As the first thaw softens the good earth low spring plowing, families one again burn incense before the god of the hearth, women pray for offspring, and even the poorest places a cup of wine and a plate of bread before the spirits of his ancestors.
Radio broadcasts tell of grandiose plans for industrial development in Manchuria. And in Shanghai, China's largest industrial plant is reported idle—paralyzed by a Chinese Nationalist blockade and mounting bombing raids.
But the traditional greeting of "much prosperity" will have a hollow ring in the lunar New Year's eve tonight for most Chinese. The old year has been a time of increasing adversity.
Meanwhile, by its own admission, there is famine in North China.
The new Red leaders have urged the people to forego the usual exchange of gifts and instead to celebrate by making resolutions to be good communists.
Promise of a golden future, under Communist leadership and with Russian help, contrast strangely with reports of conditions in Red China today.
Peiling radio says the Russians will provide the tools to transform the deserts of Sinkiang into fields of wheat and cotton.
Red armies stand at the borders of Tibet and French Indo-China and Red leaders call on the peoples of those countries to "throw off their yoke."

Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Kernie Binyon, 2132 Tennessee street; Mrs. Robert Lee, 945 New Hampshire street; and Mrs. L. Hanks, 730 Arkansas street. Refreshments were served.

Europeans Better Versed On News,Says Journalist
The average newspaper reader in Europe knows what goes on in the United States better than many American readers know what is happening in Europe.
This was the report Kenneth E. Olson, dean of the Mill School of Journalism, Northwestern university, gave the Inland Daily Press association Monday in Chicago. Representatives from the University Daily Kansan who attended the convention were Robert J. Day, business manager; Mary K. Dyer managing editor; and Walter E. Erwert, faculty news adviser.
Dean Olson, who visited Europe in 1949, said that the press of Europe is a more serious press than the press in the United States.
"In Europe the papers," he said "carry much more foreign news and much more background of the news than our papers. Europeans can't understand why Americans shock their readers with crime, divorce, and the extra-curricular affairs of prominent persons."
The "Voice of America" broadcasts are puncturing the Iron Curtain and reaching millions of Russians despite exorbitant spending of money by the Soviets to "jam" the broadcasts, a state department official told the more than 200 representatives at the two-day convention that ended Tuesday.
Howland H. Sargeant, acting assistant secretary of state for public affairs, said that the "Voice" broadcasts are being translated into 24 foreign languages and 38 short wave transmitters are being used.
"Class dances haven't been financially successful on the campus and since the senior class has already incurred a sizable debt from previous dances it might be better to hold off." Miss Lambert said.
The Russians are spending more money to "blot out" the "Voice" than they are spending to operate their 300 radio transmitters, Mr. Sargeant said. He explained new electronic devices have been developed to combat the Soviet "jamming" operations.
Dr. Kenneth Dameron, advertising and merchandising teacher at Ohio State university, urged newspapers to make their advertising more effective.
Newspapers "must interpret news to readers and interpret the market for advertisers." Dr. Dameron said. To interpret markets newspapers should employ advertising men with training in retail merchandising and instruct advertisers in improving the pulling power of their copy, he explained.
Oscar S. Stauffer, editor and publisher of the Topeka State Journal, presided at the general sessions. He is president of the Inland Daily Press association.
No Senior Dance Too Expensive
Senior class members will forego their traditional dance this year according to Louise Lambert, College senior and class president.
Miss Lambert pointed out that the senior class will have to be assessed in order to meet a current $400 deficit and that it would be senseless to increase the assessment to compensate for another loss.
