Panel Wants US RUSS Agreement
Russian and American ideologies must meet on a common basis, a three-man panel at the American Veterans committee meeting Tuesday agreed.
The panel was composed of W. G. Clugston, author of "Rascals in Democracy," Marco Morrow, former manager of the Capper publications, and Dr. P. P. Women, president emeritus of Washburn university.
The group listened to the "Town Hall" broadcast for the first 30 minutes of the meeting. This was followed by a discussion period with the panel answering questions from students and faculty members.
All members of the panel agreed that compromise without appeasement is needed between Russia and the United States. There was disagreement about whether this could be effected without war.
Mr. Clugston proved the most outspoken, answering questions on international, national, and state politics.
"The only way to lick communism is to demonstrate to the world that our system will work better than theirs." Mr. Clugston said.
Mr. Clugston said Kansas has one of the most efficient political machines in the world. It is controlled by Kansas City, Mo., business interests. He predicted the re-election of Senator Capper.
Foreign Staff Has Openings
There are opportunities in the foreign service field either as officers or as members of the staff corps, John W. Tuthill, special economic assistant in the state department, told students Tuesday.
Mr. Tuthill emphasized that the American role in foreign service is a constructive role and not imperialistic grabbing. He also said that the foreign service field of the state department does not form international policy, but formulates American policy in foreign affairs.
Written and oral examinations as well as basic convictions and beliefs in the American objectives are required of persons interested in becoming foreign service officers. Only 50 officers are appointed each year for the policy forming body in the field of foreign affairs. More positions are open in the staff corps for men experienced in special lines of work.
Staff corps members are required to pass civil service examinations. The age limit is from 21 to 50 years, but candidates must be between 21 and 31 years of age when taking the examinations, Mr. Tuthill said

Gardeners Hear Of Soil Depletion
Soil depletion has caused the fall of civilizations, stated Reuben Corbin, marketing specialist of the department of agriculture, in an informal talk to Sunflower gardeners Tuesday.
Mr. Corbin cited the Gobi and northern Sahara deserts as examples of areas whose once flourishing civilizations died because no effort was made to restore the fertility' of the soil after each harvest.
"Soil scientists in the United States are worried because the mineral content of the soil is lowered by each year's crop," the speaker said.

Rome, April 21—(UP)—Premier Alcide De Gasperi's Christian Democrates have won an absolute majority of seats in the Italian chamber of deputies, Interior Minister Mario Seclba announced officially today.
Mr. Scelba's figures, based on a final count of all except four precincts in the country, showed the Christian Democrats had won 303 assembly seats, and probably would get four more from fractional voting under the proportional representation plan. This would give them 53.48 per cent of chamber seats. The Communists had cinched 178 seats and were expected to get four more, giving them 31.7 per cent.
In the Senate, counting the honorary appointments, the Christian Democrats would have 148 seats, or 43 per cent, and the Communists 121 seats, or 35 per cent.
On the basis of percentages, the Communists hold about the same strength in parliament as they did in the 1948 elections.
At the same time, the Communists were demanding a share in the coalition government Premier De Gasperi will form about May 20.
