Caracas Quiet Today After 4 Days of Riots
CARACAS, Venezuela — (UPI)— Caracas was quiet today after four days of wild rioting which the government charged was instigated by Communists to set the stage for a revolution.
Business houses and industrial establishments opened early. Troops and tanks patrolled the downtown areas to maintain order.

is one branch of a national group to "inform people about communism and what Americans can do to fight it." Gibbs said.
The John Birch Society was founded in 1958 with the general philosophy of "less government and more responsibility for a better world, a Wichita Eagle story said.
The Eagle recently ran numerous stories and letters to the editor that were both for and against the John Birch Society.
Student Group Is Anti-Red
"I am a conservative and I believe that we shouldn't go any more socialist or left wing than we already are. Our country needs to be more conservative."

MISS DAVIS SAID:
The Society was named in honor of Capt. John Birch, a young Baptist missionary to China who won the Legion of Merit. A few days after the Japanese surrendered he was murdered by Communist guerrillas while on a special mission.
(Continued from page 1)
IN A LETTER to the Eagle, Frank L. Vannerson, a student at Wichita University accused the organization of following the doctrine of Hitler and Mussolini.

- Quality Parts
"The Birchers, from behind the battle-ery of anti-communism are espousing a doctrine so similar to that of the Fascist philosophers that I thought it should be brought to public attention," Mr. Vannerson's letter said.
- Guaranteed
Another letter expressed alarm that the John Birch Society regards individual freedom as a necessary sacrifice, "and it boasts proudly democracy is merely a deceptive phrase, a weapon of demagoguery, and a perennial fraud."
VANNERSON WAS sharply criticized, for his letter.
"The Jonney Birchers are laughing at the twisted comments and quotes in the Frank L. Vannerson letter," another letter said. The letter writer accused Vannerson of deliberately quoting passages of the John Birch manual so as to smear the organization.
"Vannerson omitted whole qualifying sentences . . . skipped one whole paragraph and part of another, and then spotted a part of a sentence to his first lifted sentence."
ANOTHER LETTER favoring the society suggested readers write to the Department of Justice, subversive organization section, for the official viewpoint of the organization's activities.
"We've been called just about everything in the book but we consider that a sign of our effectiveness."
In a speech in Wichita, Fred C. Koch, Wichita businessman, said:
"There are many who are attempting and will undoubtedly continue to smear us," the Eagle quoted.
"COMMUNISM is rising in the United States like high water during a flood and we as true Americans must alert our fellow citizens of its many unsuspecting dangers." The Eagle quoted Mr. Koch as saying.
Only 20 days until Christmas vacation. This is the thought in the minds of many students after returning from a relaxing five days at home.
Last Tuesday students left for their homes and other places to spend the holidays. Many of them took stacks of books to get those term papers completed that were due the following Monday. However, the general comment was, "I didn't crack a book, but I had a good time."
OneGoodVacation Calls for Another
NOW THAT WE ARE all back on the hill many of us wonder if three weeks will be enough time to study for a test in every course. All the professors will probably want to get that last test before finals out of the way before the new year. And there will also be that term paper to write for the history or political science course, the one that wasn't written during Thanksgiving vacation. And we can't help but feel sorry for that poor guy who has a Saturday class. Christmas vacation doesn't officially begin until noon Saturday, Dec. 17.
Even with the academic work ahead of us we must not neglect the spirit of Christmas. Most of the sororites, fraternities and dormitories are planning a Christmas formal or tree-trimming party. These social gatherings are all crowded into two weekends.
THEEN THERE IS THAT one night out of the next three weeks when you have a chance to get to bed by 11 p.m. Your joy is short lived however — one of the fraternities is planning to drop by for a serenade at 12:30 a.m.
With the social functions, tests, term papers, Rock Chalk planning and gifts to buy during the next three weeks many students will not have time to go to class. But, without a doubt, the midnight oil will burn.
She Lives Right
