Dutch Accused Of Violating Peace Terms
Dutch troops were reported to night pushing virtually at will through the Indonesian republic American-trained Dutch marines had reached the big oil refinery city of Tjepu along the north coast near Soerabaja.
Batavia, Java, Dec. 20—(UP)—The three-power United Nations Good Offices committee on Indonesia accused the Dutch today of failing to up to the clauses of the Reville truce agreement of February, 1948.
The ill-fated truce, worked out aboard the U.S.S. Renville anchored off North Java under the auspices of the U.N. Good Offices commission, was the second which failed to solve the friction between the Dutch and Indonesians since the end of the war in the Pacific.
The Dutch campaign which plunged Indonesia into war after an uneasy truce of several months was reported progressing without a bishop after initial lightning blows overwhelmed the Republican capital of Joogjakarta and netted the ranking leaders of the Republic.
The commission asked the U.N. Security council in Paris to consider the outbreak of hostilities as a matter of extreme urgency. It notified the council that the Dutch action violated terms of the truce, signed by the Dutch and the Republicans.
Afield the situation was obscured by a Dutch army decree clamping censorship on all outgoing reports. It had the effect of cutting off all news except that issued officially by the Dutch.
In Paris the Security council met to take up the Indonesian case, but put off deliberations until Wednesday by Russian request to enable a Soviet delegate, on the way home from Paris, to return.
The Indonesians proclaimed their independence and set up the Republican government at the time of the Japanese surrender. From that time it was a test strength and wits between Indonesia and the Dutch to determine whether the republic could survive.
The dispute was brought to a crisis with Dutch charges that the Republicans were obstructing peace negotiations, had violated the Renville truce, and were planning big scale "terrorist" activity.
Lt. Gen. Simon H. Spoor, Netherlands commander-in-chief, said he had learned that the Republicans had issued orders for offensive action which would entail a scorched earth policy of destruction.
The Renville agreement called for a truce and the creation of demilitarized areas.
Group Elects Wedell Again
Directors of the World War II Memorial association re-elected all officers and the executive committee, and heard a report from the carillon committee Dec. 18.
Officers chosen for another term were Justice Hugo T. Wedell, Topeka, president; Carl V. Rice, Kansas City, vice president; C. B. Holmes and Fred Ellsworth, both of Lawrence, treasurer and secretary respectively.
Wayne McCoy, Topeka, past president of the Alumni association, and Ken Postlesthawe, Nevada, Mo. were elected to the board of directors. Mr. McCoy is district manager for the Southwestern Bell Telephone company. Mr. Postlesthawe, formerly campaign director for the association, is now managing editor of the Nevada Daily Mail.
More than $300,000 has been raised for the memorial but $50,000 more is needed and contracts probably will not be let until financing is complete.
Rail Reservations Difficult To Get
Students wishing reservations on some of the streamliners stopping at Lawrence may have difficulty in obtaining them, authorities at the Union Pacific ticket office in Lawrence said today.
Reservations on trains going west are particularly hard to get. The reservations on the "City of St. Louis" traveling west to Denver, have been taken up until Christmas day.
The "Pony Express," also traveling to Denver and points west, is not a reserved train and it is expected that accommodations will be sufficient to handle the streamliner's overflow.
Reservations on trains to the east, most of which leave from Kansas City, are expected to be filled also, it was stated.
Two Will Attend CIO Conference
Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, and D. Gagliardo, professor of economics, have been invited by the United Steelworkers union to attend a Chicago conference which will take up the problem of courses for steelworkers on college campuses.
The steelworker's union will examine what has been done in previous campus institutes and will determine how much more training at universities is needed for steelworkers.
The United Steelworkers of the C.I.O. has been outstanding in sending their people to universities for instruction by men who stand in the neutral corner," Dean Stockton said.
"We have given steelworker courses before and plan to continue them. The courses have to do with union problems in general. Such problems as collective bargaining, correct procedure at the union meeting, and instruction in speaking have been covered. The union now wants to get an exchange of ideas by representatives from 14 universities where their programs have been offered."
Dean Stockton said University Extension will continue the state federation of labor institute held for the first time last year. It will be a two-day session, and conferences will begin soon on the program. There is a possibility that Extension will hold a week-long institute for all state C.I.O. unions in the spring of 1949, he said.

Art Students Learn Silk Screen Method For Printing Colored Christmas Cards
Students of the sophomore design class are printing Christmas cards by the ancient Chinese printing method of a silk screen, said Miss Bush, assistant professor of design.
"Make up yer mind, Chester! Do ya want a date tonight or don't ya?"
Thad N. Marsh, graduate student and English instructor at the University, and William Barber, Abilene, Kansas resident and senior at Harvard university, will sail for England in September, 1949, to begin study as Rhodes scholars.
Both men agreed that the oral examinations for the scholarship were "tough." Marsh added, however, that study at Oxford should be "very pleasant."
Kansas Rhodes Scholars To England Next September
According to the century-old a stretched taut over a wooden frame. the screen with tusche or by cutting a film stencil which is stuck to the screen.
Both men said study will not take all their time. They plan to travel on the continent, taking in Paris, the Riviera, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland. They also hope to get permission to visit Germany.
A separate stencil is made for each color. Miss Bush said. Great care has to be taken in the printing to make each color to fit into correct position to complete the design.
Marsh tentatively plans to enter Magdalen college at Oxford where he will study the history of English literature.
Openings conforming to the pattern of the desired design are left in the screen. Opaque water color or tempera to which a binder of vegetable glue has been added is pushed through the open meshes of the screen with a squeegee.
Barber, who said he smoked "a little" didn't know the price of cigarettes in Britain. When told the price for a pack is 85 cents, he said: "I'll quit. . . smoking, of course."
"I chose Magdalen," he said, "because C. S. Lewis, author of several theological novels, is an instructor there. Presently Mr. Lewis is working on a history of ideas."
He was hospitalized with trench-foot in the winter of 1944 and spent some time at Oxford while recuperating. He returned to his unit for the final drive into Germany. After the war he was stationed at Frankfurt on the Main.
Barber, who will be graduated with a major in American history in February, will attend Balliol college to study modern history. During the war Barber was a mortarman in the 410th regiment of the 103rd infantry division.

Carol Service By Choir Today
The annual Christmas carol service by the University a cappella choir will take place around the Christmas tree in Frank Strong hall at 4:15 p.m. today.
The choir of 115 voices will be directed by D. M. Swarthownt, dean of the School of Fine Arts. The service will last thirty minutes.
Chemistry Club Hears Paint Talk
The use of chemistry in the paint industry was discussed by John W. Clark, vice-president of the Cook Paint and Varnish company, at a meeting of the University Chemistry club, Dec. 16.
Mr. Clark said his company is now working on a varnish that will allow citrus fruits to be canned without a loss of flavor. The acid of the citrus fruits destroys the varnish now used for the inside of tin cans and allows the juices to come in contact with the metal, resulting in a loss of flavor.
The club was invited to tour the Cook paint company.
Richard G. Alsup, graduate student and employee on leave from the Spencer Chemical company, will be the speaker at the next meeting of the club.
Graduate Magazine Features Dean Carr
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the engineering school, presents his three immediate aims for the school in the December issue of the Graduate Magazine.
They are to encourage present faculty members to do research, and selection of future faculty on ability and interest in productive scholarship as well as teaching; two, enlarging and improving the laboratory facilities; three, construction of an aeronautical engineering building.
Med School Has 225 Applicants Half From KU
Slightly more than one-half of the 224 applicants for admission to the School of Medicine are students at the University, officials at the registrar's office said today.
Only residents of Kansas and Kansas City, Mo., are being considered for admission to the 1949 freshman class in medicine. Approximately 80 will be selected for this training.
Teams composed of three physicians interviewed 55 applicants Dec. 18 at the Kansas City campus. A professor from the University, a young physician, and an older physician made up the interviewing teams. Each interview lasted 45 minutes.
Further interviews will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 29; Saturday, Jan. 8, and Saturday, Jan. 15, 1949. Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, dean of the School of Medicine, said 35 to 40 more candidates can complete their applications by submitting more data. These candidates will be viewed Sunday, Jan. 15.
The selection of students will be more difficult since 60 candidates qualified a year ago but were not chosen for the 1948 class. Their applications are still effective and they will have conferences with Dean Murphy to bring them up to date.
Officials of the school said the class would be increased to 100 if additional funds requested are granted by the legislature. The money has been asked to expand the medical school's facilities.
Notices of tentative acceptance will be given in the spring, contingent on the completion of pre-medical work. Rejection, however, will not end the chances of candidates not selected. They may be chosen to take the place of those who are tentatively selected and fail to meet requirements.
Navy commissions are available to properly qualified men and women college graduates in the following corps and activities of the U.S. Naval service; chaplains, civil engineers, dentists, legal specialists, aviation, intelligence, nurses, ordinance specialists, petroleum engineers, supply, and W.A.V.E.S.
