Chinese Reds Seek To Oust Nationals In UN
Lake Success, N. Y., Nov. 16.—U.P. The challenge by the Chinese Communist government to the Nationalist delegation's legal right to represent China threatened today to touch off another major battle between Russia and the west in the United Nations.
First disclosure of the repudiation of the Nationalist delegation by the Red Peking government came in a dispatch intercepted by the United States government radio monitoring station. The dispatch, from the New China News agency in Peking, quoted a telegram reportedly sent to Brig.-Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, president of the general assembly, and signed by Chou En-Lai, foreign minister of the Communist government proclaimed six weeks ago.
"On behalf of the central people's government of the People's Republic of China," the dispatch quoted the telegram, "I formally inform you that the central people's government of the People's Republic of China repudiates the legal status of the delegation of the so-called 'Chinese National Government' attending the present session of the United Nations General assembly and holds that it cannot represent China and has no right to speak for the Chinese people in the United Nations organization."
Romulo said he has not yet received the Communist message.
When the Peking government's "repudiation" is received at U.N. headquarters, it was not certain what the next step that observers expected Russia target the Nationalists for its help to the Communists, would back the Peking government's claim to the limit.
Dr. Tingfu F. Tsaing, chief of the Nationalist delegation here, indicated that the Chunking government would battle to the end to save its U.N. seat.
"Up to the present moment." Tsiang told reporters, "not a single official of that bogus regime has been elected. Not a single law or constitutional provision had had the approval of the Chinese people. The Chinese Communist party began as a mutiny in the Chinese army. It remains a band of mutineers. That is the value I think the world shall put on this sort of claim."
More was at stake than claims of rival governments to represent the Chinese people. Under the U.N. charter, China—as recognized in 1845 in the Nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek—was given the veto power as one of the five permanent members of the security council.
The question arose whether that veto power could be transferred from the Nationalist government to the Communists, who would, so long as the ties exit between Mao Tse-tung's Peking government and Russia, give the Kremlin two vetoes, in effect.
Malott Praises Statewide Groups
Chancellor Deane W. Malott expressed his gratitude to the county clubs of the Statewide Activities commission Tuesday. The chancellor said that there is perhaps no better way to carry good will back to Kansans than through the county clubs program.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, gave a brief history of the county clubs since the first one was founded in 1908. He also commented on the large sponsorship county churches at meeting and said that students are agents of good will of the University.
The next meeting of the county chairman will be Tuesday, Nov. 22, in the Kansas room of the Union.
Chemistry Club To See Movie
The movie, "Tomorrow's Rainbow," a technicolor production starring Alan Ladd, will be shown to the Chemistry club at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in 305 Bailey chemical laboratories.
The film is being shown through the courtesy of the Aluminum company of America. The story of the discovery of the Hall process, a process used in commercial refining of aluminum, is told.
All chemistry students are invited. No admission will be charged.
James Roosevelt Seeks Office
Los Angeles. Nov. 16—(U.P.) James Roosevelt, who boomed Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for president in 1948, said today he will seek the support of President Truman in his race for governor of California.
The lanky, 42-year-old former Democratic state chairman became the second of Franklin D. Roosevelt's sons to run for public office.
His brother, Franklin, Jr., was elected to congress last year from New York and is a rumored candidate for the New York governorship.
He said he did not expect White House backing in the primary elections for the Democratic nomination. But he said he would count on such aid if the winner of the nomination is a "bona fide Democrat."
James Roosevelt, in a stinging blast at Gov. Earl Warren's administration, declared his whole man for President Trump's fair, deal.
This reference was to the California cross-filing system that enables candidates to file on both tickets. Governor Warren, a Republican, won nominations of both parties and re-election in 1946.
Mr. Roosevelt accused the Warren administration of failure to discharge its responsibilities by leaving unsettled such major problems as health, housing and public power development.
His announcement of candidacy is the first for the California gubernatorial post. Governor Warren is expected to seek re-election.
Clendening Lectures Open With Address By Dr. Fulton
Medical students of today cannot depend exclusively on textbooks and lectures. Students must find the truth by proving it.
Anton Walbrook turns in a realistic performance of Boris Lermontov, producer of the ballet, who regards his work as a religion and will allow no personal relationships to interfere. He dismisses Craster from the group when he finds Miss Page is in love with him, whereupon, she resigns from the company.
That opinion was expressed Tuesday by Dr. John Farquhar Fulton, Sterling professor of physiology and keeper of medical history collections at Yale university. Dr. Fulton said that Andres Vesalius, Belgian physician of the 16th century, "has challenged one to believe nothing anyone tells him until he has proved it so."
Vesalius is noted for departing from the teachings and procedures of his day and introducing his own theories on anatomical structure.
Dr. Fulton spoke to University medical students and guests on the subject of "Vesalius Four Centuries Later." The address is the first in the Clendening lectureship on the history and philosophy of medicine.
He began his address with a brief outline of the efforts of Dr. Logan Clendening, '07, who was professor of history of medicine at the University prior to his death in 1945. Dr. Fulton paid tribute to his work by describing him as a "devastating rival."
"Vesalius' driving energy and daring has served as an inspiration to students of medicine for 400 years," Dr. Fulton said. "His principles guide students of today to an open mind. Only by this method can you travel on the road to truth."
The Clendening lectureship was established in the past year with a $10,000 endowment by the widow of Dr. Clendening. The purpose of the lectureship is to bring outstanding figures in fields of history and philosophy of medicine to University medical students.
Tragedy,Irony,Love Skillfully Portrayed In 'The Red Shoes'
Advertising Display Now On Exhibit In Strong
Dr. Fulton also spoke before students at the University of Kansas Medical center in Kansas City, Kan. His subject was "English Medicine in the 18th Century."
By RUTH KELLER
Advertising and counter displays are being exhibited this month on the third floor of the west wing of Strong hall. Blueprints and production drawings for an advertisement, from the beginning stages to the finished product, are shown. Fluorescent plastic, the moulding of plastic, and a double mirror silk screen are among the other things included in the exhibit.
"The Red Shoes," a British ballet production released by Eagle Lion films, skilfully blends tragedy and irony into the story of a ballerina who, caught between her desires for love and a career, finds peace only in death.
Miss Shearer presents Victoria Page as a dancer who wants a successful ballerina career more than anything else until she meets Julian Craster, a young composer, played by Marius Goring.
Moira Shearer, as Victoria Page, the balerina, sparked the entire production with her charm and talent. Miss Shearer moves through the production in a series of well-executed ballet scenes, and shows emo-trap of her role as she experiences happiness, love, and tragedy.
"The Red Shoes" patterned after Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale, portrays the life of a dancer who wears a pair of red shoes to a dance and cannot get rid of them or their spell when the dance is over. The girl dances on through the night and finally dies of exhaustion in the arms of a minister who tries to save her by removing the shoes. His gesture comes too late.
Lermontov, although furious, waits until an opportunity presents itself for him to lure her back to the ballet. She returns, but when Craster leaves her because she will not give up her career, she realizes she loves him more than her dancing. In trying to reach him she falls to her death, and ironically dies in his arms as he removes the red shoes. The story moves slowly at first, but gains momentum as the tragic mood is intensified.
Leonide Massine, who plays Ljunov, the dynamic ballet director, has created the shoemaker in "The Red Shoes" ballet and turns in a realistic performance of a mad fiend enticing the young ballerina to dance throughout the night.
The intensity of the film is broken by the unusual settings and music interspersed throughout the performance. Robert Helpmann, who is choreographer for the production, executes his dances well as Victoria Page's dancing partner.
The picture will be shown three times daily, 1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m., today and Thursday at the Varsity theater. All seats are reserved.

Gaston Will Tell Of Music's Influence
"How Music Influences People" will be discussed at the University club today by Dr. E. Thayer Gaston, consultant in music therapy to Winter Veterans administration hospital in Topeka. The program will start at 8 p.m., and members may bring their wives and other guests, said assistant professor of music education, Gerald M. Carney, host for the evening.
Dr. Gaston will tell how research workers determined the way music affects mood and how music can be used in the treatment of some hospital patients. To demonstrate this effect Dr. Gaston played a recording for a class of art students in Kansas City. Each artist painted whatever the music suggested to him. Then another recording was played and the artists painted again.
"I'll show slides of those paintings," Dr. Gaston said, "and I'll play the recordings. I'd say that 9 out of 10 persons in the University club audience will be able to tell exactly what I am told when each picture was painted. We've shown the pictures to trained musicians and many have been able to name the composer of the music just by looking at the pictures."
Dr. Gaston received his Ph.D. at the University in 1940 and since then has been on the music education staff. He was made professor of music education in 1947 and is director of graduate work in functional music for the master of music education degree.

No Trace of Gilson After Thirteen Days
Lawrence police remained battle today as they continued to search for Harry C. Gilson, College senior, who disappeared 13 days ago.
No explanation has been found for the honor student's sudden absence, which began Nov. 3 after he was involved in a slight automobile accident.
Clyde L. Coe, engineering senior and half-brother of the 22-year-old missing student, said Gilson is 6 feet 1 inch in height, weighs 195 pounds, and has dark wavy hair and brown eyes.
Gilson served in the navy from 1944 to 1946 as a radar technician on destroyer escort duty in the Pacific area. Friends describe him as studious and quiet, but not the worrowing type.
Lawrence police have requested that any information of possible value in locating Gilson be brought to their attention immediately.
