Chinese Reds Enter Suburbs Of Canton
Hong Kong, Oct. 14 - (U.P.)—Unopposed Chinese Communist troops entered the suburbs of abandoned Canton today and reliable reports said they were scheduled to stage a victory march into the former provisional nationalist capital this afternoon.
The news that Canton soon would fall to rampaging Communist forces sent top government and military officials in this British crown colony into urgent meetings.
Hong Kong lies only 80 miles southeast of Canton.
A telephone message from the British consulate in Canton at noon said the city still was quiet but tense. The Communist entry was slated for some three hours later, a reliable source said.
The message from the British consulate said no Communist troops could be seen in the city at that time.
It also denied that any planes had been seized at White Cloud airport, where operations ceased hours ago one report said the runways at the airfield had been mined, but there was no confirmation. Trains, telephones and ships still operated.
Nationalist South China Commander Gen. Yu Han-mou was reported still in the city along with other army leaders. The ordinary Cantonese remained indoors, behind barricaded doors; awaiting the Communist hour of triumph.
Some looting of deserted houses in the suburbs was reported. But the Communists apparently were proceeding in orderly fashion toward the ancient city.
Their exact distance from the city was uncertain. But it was believed they were between three and six miles away.
One reliable official said Communist Gen. Chen Keng's regulars would not enter Canton until 11 a.m. Saturday. He said the city would be formally handed over to the Communists at that time and that Cantonese would view a monster demonstration of Communist power such as the Communists staged at Peiping, Shanghai and Nanking.

Chance Remark Brings Girl From Frankfort To KU
Helga Kennitzer, graduate student, came all the way from Frankfort, Germany, to the United State practically by accident.
After hearing a minister in Frankfurt mention that a few German students might be accepted to United States schools after the war, Helga innocently mentioned that she thought studying in the United States would probably be a lot of fun.
The next thing she knew the minister was corresponding with friends of his at Bethel college at Newton. It was through the work of these friends that Helga was accepted at Bethel college and was allowed to enter the United States in April, 1948. She attended Bethel until she entered KU. this fall.
Differences between American and German women were one of the first things Helga noticed.
The skirts were all so long," she said, as she pointed to the spot right below her knee where she had been wearing hers. "German women don't smoke either, and they wear far less make-up."
Helga was a stranger to what she called our "strict dating."
"You do everything in two," she said, "and always feel that there must be an exactly even number of women and men at a party."
She emphasized the fact that such standards do not exist in Germany. Helga admits she was worried about the way she would be accepted when she came to the United States. The friendly treatment she has received, however, has made her realize how ungrounded were her fears. Helga is very grateful for the opportunity which she has had.
"I truly believe," Helga said, "that the only way for students of different countries to get to know each other is by living and working together, just as my American friends and I are doing now."

Schmidt Recital Well Received
The resonant baritone voice of Reinhold Schmidt was enthusiastically received at his recital Wednesday.
Mr. Schmidt joined the University faculty this fall as associate professor of voice and acting chairman of the voice department. A veteran of opera, concert, and radio, he has been heard here as an oratorio soloist, but Wednesday marked his first recital appearance here.
The ease with which he sang was reflected in his stage manner and breath control. He was able to conquer problems of technique to reach the audience with his interpretations.
Mr. Schmidt ran the gamut of moods in his opening selection, the seldom heard "An Die Ferne Gellebte," (Beethoven). Each song of the series revealed a change in tempo and an accompanying expression of loneliness, longing, envy and joy.
Mr. Schmidt's faultless enunciation which characterized the recital, was especially apparent in the German "Leider" songs. He gave a soft, delicate quality to "Anagreon's Grab" (Wolf) and full, deep tones to "Ich Erage Meine Minne," (Strauss). An encore for this group of love songs was "Morgen," also by Strauss.
Of the two English groups, the bright "Ah, Twine No Blossoms" (Gilere), the rhythmic "Sea Moods" (Tyson) and the plaintive "Nocturne" (Curan) are memorable. Deems Taylor's popular "May Day Carol" was sung as an encore.
Winifred Hill Gallup accompanied Mr. Schmidt.
