US Expected To Refuse To Leave Korea
Washington, Sept. 20—(UP)—The state department is expected to cold-shoulder Russia's suggestion that the U.S. agree at once to withdraw American occupation forces from Southern Korea.
Officials here made it plain that despite Moscow's announced plan to start evacuating the Soviet northern zone next month, American forces will not be pulled while the Korean issue is still being considered by the United Nations.
American authorities regarded the Russian move as a propaganda attempt to embarrass this government when the U.N. General Assembly, which meets in Paris, gets around to Korean question. It will challenge the prosecution to claim they are the only real champions of freedom for Korea.
The United States fears that immediate evacuation of South Korea would in effect turn the entire country over to communist domination.
The Moscow radio announced Sunday that evacuation of Soviet forces would begin the latter part of October and be completed by Jan. 1. At the same time it suggested that the U.S. withdraw its forces simultaneously.
Russia will be leaving behind in the north a communist-led Korean fighting force whose strength has been estimated as high as 500,000. There is nothing so formidable in the American southern zone now but Maj. Gen. John Coulter, the American commander, is training a force which it is hoped will eventually be able to defend itself.
The Soviet announcement appeared certain to provoke a bitter debate in the U.N. assembly.
Russia is expected to claim that it's puppet northern regime represents all Korea and that the American-sponsored southern government, headed by Dr. Syngman Rhee, should be abolished.
All students who have not had their skin tests read are urged to go to Watkins Memorial hospital before 5 p.m. today. This is the last day for the regularly scheduled examinations.

Truman Party Serenaded Here With Rock Chalk
President and Mrs. Truman, and their daughter, Margaret, were serenaded with the Rock Chalk chant and the Alma Mater while their special train stopped for five minutes at the Lawrence Union Pacific station at 9:17 p.m. Sunday.
Several thousand students and townspeople were on hand to greet the presidential party now en route on a cross-country campaign tour for the November elections. After the Rock Chalk chant Mrs. Truman whispered something to the President.
He laughed and said: "The madam says this is the first time that I've been entertained; I've always had to do the entertainment."
Asked what he thought of Governor Dewey's "silent treatment campaign strategy," the President remarked, "I can't talk politics on Sunday."
Well, do you think Missouri is going to beat K.U. this year? this reporter asked.
"Let's not talk about that. Kansas and Missouri have the same interests; I hate to see them fight over football," the President said.
President Truman seemed reluctant to talk, and someone in the crowd said that his voice sounded hoarse.
"After 14 speeches in the open air wouldn't your voice sound hearse?" the President replied.
What do you think of people who drink and vote dry, Mr. President?
"I have no opinion. I don't know anybody like that."
Well what do you think about Kansas going wet next November? "That's up to you," the President said.
The President nodded but added quickly, "I like it." We're all for co-education, so we have a graduate student and state representative from Stafford county.
"Do you have to put up with this in every town?" someone asked.
This was the first time that President Truman had "spoken" in Lawrence. His train stopped for exactly five minutes, pulling out at 9:23 p.m.
Sunflower Expects Increased Census
"About 1,000 University students are expected to live in the Sunflower housing project during the fall semester," John LaMonica, housing manager, said today.
Mr. LaMonica gave no reason for the jump in the number of Sunflower students. He added that "they might as well move the University out here."
He said there were nine two-room apartment vacancies this morning but felt certain these would be filled soon.
