Atlantic Pact A'Must For Peace, Teachers Say
Some professors of political science on the campus believe the Atlantic pact is necessary for world peace until a federation of world powers can be formed.
The Atlantic pact, a 20-year treaty between the United States and 11 other Western nations, has been labeled a defensive alliance against aggression. If one or more members of the treaty nations should be attacked by an aggressor, the other will take whatever measures they deem necessary "including the use of armed force."
From the comments of five professors, two believe a world federation is necessary, two that the pact is essential for peace, and one that the problem of world peace should rest with the United Nations.
"This new super - international boundary line, drawn through the heart of Europe and strengthened by the combined weight of the pact nations, should reduce the likelihood of "incidents" which lead to war. A 'half-world' pact cannot take the place of world-wide co-operation but can serve as a bridge toward that goal."
John J. Conrad, instructor of political science, said: "The Atlantic pact culminates a two year worldwide trend toward definition and clarification of two great spheres of influence, Soviet and Western democratic.

J. Eldon Fields, assistant professor of political science: "I'm not impressed with the success in avoiding wars in the past through military alliances. Such alliances tend to look offensive to the people on the other side of the fence. The Atlantic pact must be used with extreme care if its defensive character is to be sold to the world."
W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science: "The Atlantic pact is a part of power politics that will not in the long run save the world. It is a necessary device for the time, yet it must not be allowed to obscure the fact that we must work as rapidly as possible in the direction of world government, including the Soviet Union."
Marian E. Ridgeway, instructor of political science: "The long range solutions of international frictions must be confined to the forum of the United Nations. Certain questions now in dispute as to whether the pact violates clauses 51, 53, and 54 of the U.N. charter must be answered before we can determine whether the pact will operate for peace. Russia contends that the pact does violate these clauses."
Francis Heller, assistant professor of political science: "The faults of the past are that the United States has never stated its position or given
AWS Urges 'Dead Week'
The presidents' council of the Associated Women Students voted recently to recommend that University organizations and activities bar all meetings and workshops during the week preceding final examinations.
Under this plan, organizations would continue to function but there would be no mass meetings to consume the students' time before finals.
The organizations whose representatives approved the resolution were Associated Women Students, Independent Student Association, Young Women's Christian association, All Student Council, senior and junior class officers, N.O.W., and Pan-Hellenic.
"After consideration of past final weeks and reports from other schools which have found the plan valuable, the presidents' council recommends that a dead week be adopted at the University which would begin Thursday, May 20." Hilda James, chairman of the council, said. "We realize that meetings already scheduled must be completed, but we urge that in making out calendars for next year, the organizations will schedule absolutely nothing for the dead week." Miss James added.

even moral support to those whose interests are essentially like our own. The pact puts the U. S. on record and should thereby clear the uncertainty that normally surrounds our foreign policy."
Capture of the strategic Kashing rail junction 50 miles northeast of Hangchow would put the Communists astride the last land escape route from the great Oriental metropolis of Shanghai.
Shanghai, April 28—(U.P.)—Communist columns drove within 40 miles of Hangchow and within 10 miles of Kashing today in a mounting offensive to tighten their siege ring around Shanghai.
Another Communist drive, toward the Woosung forts guarding the sea escape route from Shanghai apparently was halted during the past 48 hours when a Communist scout force found the forts heavily defended.
Concentrating on the southward drive to isolate Shanghai by land, two Communist columns driving down the east and west side of Tai lake were reported within only a few miles of joining forces in the area of Pingwang, 10 miles north of Kashing.
The American exodus from Shanghai in face of the Communist threat continued at a heavy pace. The American President liner Wilson was scheduled to sail this afternoon with 162 refugees booked for passage in addition to 145 passengers previously booked for regular passage.

Reds Tighten Shanghai Siege
The American President liner Van Buren is scheduled to arrive here Saturday to take aboard more Americans but the line's agents could not say whether the situation would permit loading at that time.
Airlines continued regular succession flights from Shanghai to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Manila, and San Francisco, all carrying capacity loads of passengers. No excess baggage was allowed on the planes.
An unconfirmed Chinese report said that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has left for Amoy on the coast 500 miles south of Shanghai after spending Tuesday in Shanghai.
It was presumed that Chiang came to Shanghai to confer with Kuomintang party leaders on final defense of the city.
AKPIs Told Not To Compete When Making Sales Talk
To make a sales talk effective, don't compete with anyone or anything, Jack Wichert, assistant economics professor, told members of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, Tuesday. The important point in having a sales talk actually is selling oneself, he said.

The idea of the silent traffic patrol originated in Dallas, Texas 12 years ago and now has been adopted in the city of hottest rivalry. Fort Worth, Texas, and also abroad.
Dallas, Texas - (U.P.) - From the cities of Europe, Canada, Texas and British Columbia comes good news: the T-men are branching out.
The plan is simple. As many as 250 unidentified men agree to spot and report traffic violations. They become part-time traffic officers who work in civilian clothes.
They see a traffic violation and report it to a superior, usually the chief of police. The latter sends a curt letter: "Mr. John Doe, you were seen running a stop sign. . . . In the future, please be more careful, otherwise. . . ."
The unseen hand works wonders. officials say.
