Reds Cut Power To US Zone Of South Korea
Seoul, May 14—(UP)—The Soviet puppet government of Northern Korea cut off all electric power to American-occupied southern Korea today, causing a new crisis between the United States and Russia.
The cutting off of power, which caused temporary confusion in the American occupation zone, came exactly at noon when southern Korean representatives failed to arrive in northern Pyongkang in answer to a Communist ultimatum.
Lt. Gen. John Hodge, American occupation commander, immediately put into operation a vast emergency power generating plan. With maximum effort U.S. army authorities could only hope to produce one-half to three-quarters of the power needed in the American zone.
Two and one half hours after the "blackout," power from the north was still off but Seoul street cars were operating with Diesel generators shipped in from Japan for just such an emergency.
The U.S. already has one navy power barge at the southeastern port city of Pusan, and Korean utility officials said another American barge at Inchon would add to the southern Korean power pool in a short time.
The Communist-dominated northern government, which the U.S. has refused to recognize, charged American officials had not dealt honestly with them and insisted on negotiating with southern Koreans.
Faculty Approves Geology Study
A four-year course of study for the new degree in geological engineering has been approved by the faculty of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, chairman of the department, said the curriculum was prepared after a survey of all schools offering that degree. He believes the new course will be the most modern of its type.
The curriculum is especially suitable for students desiring to do practical geological work immediately after graduation and who do not wish study, said Dr. Dreyer.
Details of the course may be obtained from the geology office.

Richard L. Emerson and Ebben Farley passed the English proficiency examination given April 10. Because of a typographical error, their names were not in the list printed in the University Daily Kansan Wednesday.

Tau Sigma Shows The Dance From African Drums To Jazz
An appreciative and pleased audience filled Fraser thater Thursday to see "History in Dance," a recital by Tau Sigma dance fraternity. Miss Elaine Selicovitz, modern dance instructor and sponsor of Tau Sigma, directed the review.
The eight University High students, under the direction of Miss

tribal dances to our present day jazz and included a narrative by Marjorie Shryock to explain the primitive, religious, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, early American, ballet and exhibition dances.
The first number starring Elaine Selicovitz and several Tau Sigma members demonstrated successfully the use of the weird drum and hand clapping used by the primitive tribes.
The Spanish dance "Sequidilla" by Bette Krenzer and Rozanne Croft seemed less professional than the others. While the dancers were dressed appropriately in Spanish costumes they failed to express the emotion and dignity of the Spanish dance to the audience.
Joie Stapleton, did an interpretation of the minuet, representing the early French colonial stiffness in dancing.
The comedy exhibition act starring Margaret Gosney and Herk Harvey stole the show. Starting a very serious exhibition ballroom dance, the audience was surprised when the singer, Rozanne Croff, began skating about the stage.
The South American dance with Betty Jo Lorbeer and Craig Hampton was as outstanding as it was in the "College Daze" presentation Wednesday night. Their distinct Latin rhythm readily won the approval of the audience.
Sue Jones and Phillip M. Young who also appeared in "College Daze" represented the modern jazz type of dancing.

'Next Two Years May Decide War'
"The next two years will be a critical legislative period and will perhaps determine if we have a war in the near future or put if off indefinitely."
These were the words of T. B. Wilson, candidate for representative in congress from the first district in Kansas, speaking before a group of students from that district Thursday.
Vets Who Didn't Get Raise Should Notify VA Office
The Episcopal College club will meet at 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the parish house at 10th and Vermont streets.
Any veteran who has not received his allowance increase should report to the University veterans administration so this information may be sent to the Kansas City office for correction, E. R. Elbel, director of the veterans administration, said today.
"We are facing a grim and critical period," he said, "and by our actions can save the world from a possible war by a definite foreign policy, something that we have not had to date."
Mr. Wilson has had varied experience in world affairs, both of military and civilian. He was in charge of transportation on General MacArthur's staff during World War II, and later served in the China-Burma-India theater in the same capacity.
Mr. Wilson emphasized the fact that he was not in the race in order to get a job, but that it was his only idea to be of service to the state. "I am not connected with any political organization or faction and am identified only with the Republican party," he said.
In discussing the current plan of aid to European countries, he said that such aid should be put on a business basis and the direct aim should be getting these countries on their feet so they will not expect aid indefinitely.

Jewish State Is Proclaimed; Fighting Begins
Tel Aviv, May 14—(UP)—A new Jewish state was born in Palestine today, and immediately bitter Arab-Jewish fighting for Jerusalem began.
Even as the Jewish dream of almost 2,000 years—a state of their own—came true with a formal proclamation by Jewish leaders, Haganah troops were fighting Arabs in the Holy City.
The veteran Jewish troops appeared to have the best of the fighting which probably will decide final control of Jerusalem, according to reports. They had seized the former British security zone as the last of the Tommies moved out, ending 30 years of stormy British rule in Palestine.
The state will be ruled by a provisional government from midnight tonight, the official end of the British mandate, until a constitution can be drawn up and officers can be elected under its terms, the proclamation said.
The state of Israel will be open o immigration of Jews of all countries, the proclamation said, adding hat their coming would promote development of the country.
The Jewish leaders made plain that they were accepting the partition decision of the United Nations general assembly as the legal basis for their state.
