Coming Weeks To Be Crucial, Otto Warns
"Events of the next three weeks will be crucial ones for relations between the United States and Russia," warned Archduke Otto of Austria.
In a discussion sponsored by the International Relations club and the Union Activities coffees and forums committee Wednesday, the archduke drew a parallel between today's situations and those of 1937 and 1939, when Hitler 'was in power.
To cope with this situation, the United States could either appoint a genuine Korean government in south Korea, or better yet, hasten the authorization of an established political power chosen by the Koreans, which would be aided with Western arms.
Otto said the campaigns in Greece are similar to those of 1941. "Hitler then sent Mussolini into Greece to test her strength," he said. "Stalin is trying the same tactics. Prisoners of war in Spain and Yugoslavia are offered a choice between fighting with the Greek guerillas and life imprisonment."
Explaining his statement that the next few weeks should be watched carefully, Otto pointed to the formation of a communistic people's republic in the Russian zone of Korea. If not oppressed, Russia will try the same move in eastern Germany, he said.
Russia To Close Factories
Two Plans For Korea
Another similarity between today's situation and the 1937-1939 period is the definite shift toward anti-Semitism, he added. Persecution of Jews in Russia is most likely just a diversion for the war-weary Russian people, Otto said.
Russia plans to solve her manpower problem by shutting down all but the important factories in eastern Europe. Otto said. This would provide a labor pool from which the Russians could draw about $2^{1/3}$ million workers a year.
"Russia no longer has enough workers within her own country because every young man is in the army. Farmers cannot be removed from their fields or food production will decline.

Russian Club Elects Jane Davis
Kostka and his family were seized by Nazis during the German invasion of Poland. They were loaded on boxcars and sent to Siberia with two million other deportees. When they were released in June, 1941, Kostka said he knew of only 160,000 being similarly released.
The state farm had a school which taught mostly mechanical subjects, because the Communist doctrine in history not poet or philosophers, he said.
Edmund Kostka, Polish graduate student, spoke of his confinement in 1940-41 on a state farm in Siberia.
International Club To Organize Today
The executive committee of the International club will meet at 7:30 am, today in Henley house.
Kostka will continue his talk at the next meeting of the club.
Members of the committee are Marilyn Rust, chairman; Aldo Alliotti, and Samuel Duran. Advisors are Mrs. Christine Alford, Y.W.C.A. secretary, Ned Lingue, Y.M.C.A. secretary, and Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men.
Says US Troops Might Be Sent To Help Greeks
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 19- (UP)—Loy W. Henderson, Secretary of State George C. Marshall's top expert on Greece, came as close last night as any American official thus far to warning that the United States will, if necessary, consider sending its troops to wipe out the Communist guerrilla movement in Greece.
Henderson said that Greece, which he called "the cradle of democracy," and Turkey stand today as the two "firm obstacles" preventing international Communism from sweeping into the Mediterranean.
He warned Soviet Russia, in the most significant American official stand on Mediterranean affairs since the Truman doctrine last year, that the United States "will not stand dly by" and permit Greece to fall victim to this on rushing movement. Speaks in Kentucky
Henderson, a veteran career diplomat who is Marshall's director of the state department's office of Near Eastern affairs, spoke to the Kentucky Women's Action committee forum just two days after President Taruman warned that the things were not going well in Greece.
Marshall had not seen Henderson's speech in advance. Neither, of course, could commit the United States to such last resort action as use of troops. It would take congressional action.
But Henderson's speech is bound to get the maximum interpretation, especially in Greece. Greek officials are almost certain to interpret it as a promise that if things got bad enough, the United States will seriously consider full military intervention.
Possible Greek Interpretation
Veloz and Yolanda incorporated most of the big time acts that were at one time in vaudeville in their "Dansion of 1948," which attracted a near-capacity crowd to Hoch auditorium Wednesday night.
Several senators privately expressed displeasure at Henderson's remarks and their implications. One prominent senator described it as "irresponsible" talk and said the issue would be fully aired when hearings start on more Greek military aid. Other congressmen thought it was time to re-examine Greek policy.
The singing of Patricia Lynn, sobrano, was well received. Robert Garretson and William Teaford, duo pianists, pleased the audience with breezy interpretations of "Rhapsoy in blue," "Rito," "Powerhouse," and an excerpt from Rachmaninoffs "Second Concerto."
Crowd Likes Dance Troupe
They ran the gamut from the charm of the "Anniversary Song," through an assortment of Latin American dances, to the satirical comedy of "Darktown Strutters Ball" and a "Jitterbug Minuet," set to Paderewski's muste. The culmination of their performance was the transcendent version of the Argentine "Tango."
The stars shared the spotlight with several top notch entertainers. Cardini, the magician, did amazing things with cards, balls, and cigarettes. John Molinari stopped the show with a glittering accordion turn. Amelia Gilmore offered a different type of dancing from that of the stars.
From the hurricane-like applause it was evident that the audience thoroughly enjoyed the performances.

Quill Magazine A Sellout,
No More Will Be Printed
All of the 225 copies of Trend, a Quill club publication, were sold Monday. Only about 25 copies, which had been distributed to individuals to sell, were left.

Democrats Hold Annual Dinners
Washington, Feb. 19 — (UP)
President Truman tops the Jefferson-Jackson anniversary bill tonight at two $100-or-more-a-plate dinners here to raise funds for his presidential election campaign.
It is a political occasion and a political speech is expected of the president. His remarks will be broadcast into the South where there are threats of rebellion against his government, and Henry A. Wallace is trying to raise a third party army to defeat him. 3.000 Democrats To Assemble
Nearly 3,000 Democrats will assemble here for two dinners similar to those on a smaller scale in many other cities. Mr. Truman will dine with about half of the Washington governors and proceed then to the Hotel Mayflower o deliver the principal address of he at evening 10 p. m., E. S. T.
One hundred bucks was the minimum for Washington Jefferson-Jackson dinners. Party officials explained there actually was no charge to those who will assemble here tonight. But all who gave $100 or more to the party for the occasion had been invited. On that basis the gross take here would be a minimum of $290,000, there being 2,000 places set at the two hotels for tonight.
Headquarters Scotches Reports
Democratic headquarters scopted reports that a dozen or more disgruntled Southern Democrats had canceled their reservations for the annual event here. Headquarters also had no information of cancellation of any dinners throughout the country.
Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina previously canceled reservations for himself and his wife, saying he had a change of plans.
"There may be one or two more," a Democratic headquarters spokesman said. He said there was nothing to reports that Southern cancellations had come in great numbers.
Business Fraternity Hears KC Merchant

Prof. Kollmorgen pointed out that early growth of vegetation is likely to be injured by later freezes. A continuous, or nearly continuous, covering of snow, incident to a cold winter, not only delays the blossoming of fruit trees until after killing frosts are probable, but also prevents alternate thawing and freezing so ruinous to wheat and other winter grains.
Matt Betton and his orchestra, billed as "America's most popular college dance band" will come from Kansas State college for the dance. Betton's band was started 10 years ago. In 1940 college students from 100 colleges ranked it among the top of popular bands at that time. Betton received offers to appear in leading New York and east coast night spots but decided to stay in college.
"Pray for cold weather!" This is the advice that Walter Kollmorgen, professor of geography, gives to the too-ardent enthusiast of the present unseasonal weather.
Cold Weather Again, Please
The old saw, "of all the months of the year, curse a fair February," suggested by Prof. Kollmorgen, may prove well founded this year.
"The band that fits every dance step" will provide music for the Sophomore Leap Year Hop. Feb. 28
Tickets are $1.75 a couple. They are available at the business office or from representatives in each man's organized house.
