Campus Opinion Evenly Divided On Merits Of President's Speech
President Truman's proposed 400 million dollar loan to Turkey and Greece, possibly could lead to a war situation, W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, commented Friday in a Daily Kansan survey.
"If Russia thinks the United States is intent on war, President Trueman's speech may produce an increasing aggressiveness on both sides, or may produce a conciliatory attitude," he said. "Russia respects force, but she also respects genuine efforts toward world peace. The Moscow conference should lead to a greater understanding among nations."
Campus opinion on the issue is sharply and evenly divided, the survey shows.
From a total of 10 persons including professors, foreign students, and student veterans interviewed, five approved of the new presidential policy and the other five believed the speech was a mistake.
Typical of the opinions expressed against the proposal was that of Herman B. Chubb, professor of political science, who believed that international problems should be solved through the United Nations, instead of by individual countries.
"I feel that if the United States believes in collective security, we should try to enforce it through the United Nations, which we were instrumental in organizing, and on not the basis of the unilateral action", Proof. Chubb said.
Jack W. Rardin, College junior and political science major, believed that the situation has been greatly exaggerated, and that no diplomatic crisis exists.
John V. Peterson, captain in the navy and professor of naval science, termed the proposal "a question of principle", explaining that the actual spending of the money is of secondary importance as compared to the question of United States prestige in the smaller countries.
"I believe that the president's stand is logical, but whether it will stop encroachment by the forces of Russia in Greece and Turkey remains to be seen," he said. "The problem of preserving the status quo in the middle east hinges on maintaining the sovereignty of both Turkey and Greece."
Kenneth L. Regenold, engineering junior, believed that the proposal would have caused less world tension had it been introduced at some other time.
Ajas Kiaer, foreign student from Norway, a College sophomore, believes the new policy to be a wise move. "Maybe it will make the Russians mad, but it should make them understand that the Americans mean business," he said.
John Ise, professor of economics, summarized the situation from the economist's point of view, when he asserted that the proposal would have been a smart move if the money were to be limited to relief purposes rather than to bolster national regimes.
"This idea of 400 million dollars a year being thrown away to combat communism will only lead to national bankruptcy", he declared.
Howard B. McClellan, College sophomore, believed that the United States should have asserted its force at the end of the war.
W. W. Davis, professor of history, characterized the presidential speech as 'part of the national policy of attempting to restrain the expansion of Russia. This is only the first step.'
"The world is now in a very serious situation", he continued. "I am in firm accord with the president. He could hardly have said less and been honest with the people. The decision was the best of two alternatives. The other was that of enopeasement."
Bob McCullough, College sophorne, felt that the proposal confirms Russian suspicions that the United States foreign policy is based upon hypocrisy.
"Radio Moscow has already said that the United States is attempting to expand its sphere of influence to the Balkans," he said, "President Truman's speech only strengthens and substantiates that assumption."
Kansas Editor, 2 Alumni Die
The deaths of two former students and a prominent Kansas editor occurred over the weekend.
They are Theodore C. Alford, chief of the Kansas City Star's Washington bureau, Clifford C. Carl, Lawrence clothing merchant, and Ewing Herbert, a Kansas newspaperman for 69 years.

Mr. Alford, who in 1944 was awarded the University's Distinguished Service citation is survived by his wife, Mrs. Adeline Harvey Alford, a son, Theodore C. Jr., a student at Johns Hopkins University, and a daughter, Mrs. Garland Wilson, St. Joseph, Mo.
Mr. Carl, 62, with Robert Rowland, organized the Ku Ku's in 1919 and founded the traditional Dr. Yak who takes part in every homecoming celebration. Mr. Carl was known for his interest in University athletics and his collections of K. U. programs and pictures.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Funk mortuary.
Mr. Herbert, the oldest Kansas editor in years of service, had published the Daily World in Hiawatha for more than 60 years. He was a former state senator and was postmaster for 18 years.

Britains Attack U.S. 'Aid To Greece' Policy
London.—(UP)—Left wing labor- ities caused an uproar in commons today with charges that the United States was "invading" southern Europe and by-passing the United Nations in proposing to aid Greece and Turkev.
Hector McNeil, minister of state for foreign affairs had just informed the house that Britain had not been consulted on President Truman's proposals to aid Greece and Turkey.
Speaking in the deputies group studying the German treaty at the Big Four conference in Moscow, Denuty Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky quoted a passage of Henry Wallace's attack on the presidential plan. In support of his demand that Turkey be barred Mr. Vishinsky said that "an American politician had admitted that Turkey grew fat on the war."

Tokyo. (UP)—Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur proposed today that the allied powers quickly write a Japanese peace treaty, withdraw all their troops immediately after its signature and turn over control of Japan to the United Nations.
Acid, Hot Lead, Roast Beef Does Education Smell?
The University stinks!
MacArthur urged an end to the "economic blockade." Its effects on Japan are more deadly than the atomic bomb, he said. He proposed an immediate reparations settlement.
Cleveland. —(UP)— The United Rubber workers (C.I.O.) announced today that a strike had been called against four rubber companies at midnight Sunday.
body.
It is a definite part of that field in which they are interested.
The strike call came after two weeks of negotiations between the union and the companies—Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone, and U. S. Rubber—over the U.R.W. demand for a 26 cent an hour wage increase.
The student who comments that "Bailey stinks," or "What is that awful smell coming from Haworth?" might take a sniff about the building representing his chosen field. For each odor, there is a segment of the student body who enjoys that particular $ ^{\circ} $
Rubber Workers Issue Strike Call For Sunday
"Smells? I don't smell anything unusual," he said. Another would-be chemist joined the conversation.
To prove this idea, we sauntered into Bailey Chem lab the other day and stopped a student in the hall.
Following the suggestion, we crossed to the gym where we saw several fellows lazily exercising. A-gain we put forth our question of smells.
"I don't smell anything in here but you ought to visit Robinson gym if you're looking for smell," he offered.
"Do these smells bother you?" we asked.
"You get used to the smell of liniment," volunteered another student. A third chimed in, "I like the general smell the same as I like the smell of food in the Union building."
"The only thing I ever smelled was B. O. " grumbled one fellow who obviously not inclined toward athletics.
Feeling hungry, we strolled to the Union building. We followed the
crowd in a long line leading to the cafeteria.
"Ah-h-h, it smells like roast beef today," said one girl three or four places ahead of us.
"Yeah," added another, "but that coffee certainly smells strong. However, it is a welcome change after working on stage settings in Fraser."
Leaving our place in the line, we promptly made our way to Fraser hall.
An instructor answered our questions. "Yes, there are odors here because we're working with paints and glue. But they go with the job."
We went back to the Journalism building. Certainly there was no small there. Oh, perhaps there was a girl behind him. He was air, but that was to be expected.
But wait! That was it! We were convinced. Each student did associate the smell in each building with the use of that building.
Having satisfied our curiosity, we started back to the Union. We detoured when we met a black and white striped animal. The smell was definitely there.
If You're Seeking Shelter
(University Daily Kansan photo by James Mason)
These three cold characters huddling in the shelter house in front of Fowler shops are, left to right, R. T. Kingman and Martha Jewett, College seniors, and Don Madtson, College freshman.
The question of the day is "are the shelters with their rustic beams really shelter from the cold northern blasts that sweep over Mount Ore during the winter months." Apparently Miss Jewett has found the answer in a warm coat and head scarf supplemented by a man on each side as a protection from the cold.
