Republicans Hit By Newell George
By Frank Morgan
Newell A. George, Kansas Second District Democratic Congressman, accused the Republican administration of hypocrisy, extravagance and autocratic fumbling in foreign policy last night at the Young Democrats meeting.
Speaking to 150 people in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union Rep. George said:
"America does not want a president who talked of colored television to Mr. Khrushchev while the Russian dictator boasted of his missiles and satellites.
"We do not want a man in the White House who suggested that there be no discussion of important political issues so long as the madmen who follow the Communist mirage are in attendance at the United Nations."
EMPHASIZING each point with a swipe of his note cards, Rep. George attacked the Republican platform as "words they don't mean to keep." He assailed the administration's "arrogant" foreign policy for driving Castro's Cuba to the Communists, and blamed it for a "universally reduced farm income and economic stagnation."
Rep. George then concentrated his attack on his Republican opponent Robert Ellsworth of Lawrence.
"When he (Ellsworth) attempts to blame a single Democratic congressman for the chaotic unemployment situation, he is definitely castigating the Republican party and the two GOP senators who should have some influence with the administration," he said.
"MY OPPONENT is either running for the U. S. Senate in 1962 or he qualifies as a political half-wit."
Rep. George said his opponent opposes federal aid to education, is against "any sensible plan to raise the farmer's income and to reduce the huge surplus storage costs," and does not even speak of civil rights.
The congressman then called for questions from the floor on specific issues.
ASKED TO explain what he meant by Republican waste and extravagance in the military, Rep. George replied that ex-President Truman had recommended several cuts before leaving office. President Eisenhower promised to cut military food and clothing excesses but did not do a thing.
To the question: "What do you think the Cuban policy should be," he answered:
"If it had been handled right in the beginning we wouldn't be where we are now. It was due to the arrogance of the State Department. Castro came to Washington and was snubbed.
CONCERNING loyalty oaths for students, he said:
"Not that I think he should have gone to the Communists but I can hardly blame him for his attitude toward us."
"A student shouldn't have to take any other oath than a man in government. Because so many great universities are opposed to it, kids don't
Jayhawks on TV For Third Time
Kansas will be playing its third nationally televised game Saturday.
In this appearance they will face last year's national champions—the team that is presently rated first in the United Press International news service poll. Syracuse.
The first time KU appeared on TV was the initial telecast of National Collegiate Athletic Association sponsored football over a coast-to-coast network. In that 1952 game the Jayhawkers beat TCU 13-0.
In the other Hawk video performance they lost to Kansas State 7-0. This was in 1953. The KU football team has not been on television since.

want to go to them. That's why I'm opposed to it."
On Federal aid to education, Rep George said:
"I'm definitely for it. I believe in doing it on the state's rights basis. This insures the aid against federal control and the government's only function is to audit the aid."
2nd Burglary At Field House
The second major burglary in two years in Allen Field House took place yesterday afternoon when about $200, severel billfolds and football tickets were taken from the varsity football locker room.
Last October $6,845 was stolen from a safe in the field house. The case was never solved.
The theft was discovered about 6 p.m. soon after the KU football team came in from the afternoon practice.
Assistant football coach and trainer, Dean Nesmith, said that $146.50 in cash, $70 in checks, three bill-folds and eight tickets to Saturday's Kansas-Syracuse game was reported missing from the players' lockers.
The football ticket numbers were recorded.
Campus police chief, Joe Skillman, is in charge of the investigation.
A forum on Fulbright grants and other foreign study programs will be held at 4 p.m. today in Fraser Theater.

Macmillan Defends Dag's Belgian Congo Policies
Thursday, Sept. 29, 1960
UNITED NATIONS — (UPI) — Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Britain defended Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold's Congo policies today and called for increasing U.N. powers in a General Assembly address that touched off another table-pounding tantrum by Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
The tantrum degenerated into a shouting and arm-waving demonstration by the Soviet leader when Macmillan referred to Khrushchev's
breakup of the Paris summit conference last May.
WHERE PRESIDENT Eisenhower was dispassionate last week in condemning Khrushchev's tactics, Macmillan hit out with unusual directness today in accusing the Soviet premier or "complete distortion" in his attacks on the free world and alleged "colonialism."
Observers noted that while the Pope, spiritual leader of nearly half a billion Roman Catholics, did not refer directly to the United Nations, he took note of it indirectly by his reference to "international assemblies."
As for United Nations powers, Macmillan said they should be in-
While, he said, "it is not our habit to lift the veil from misery and threatened ruin which grip the heart" the Pope said he felt it a "sacred duty to watch over and defend the domestic, social and religious order."
Prayers for Peace Asked by Pope John
Only permanent student identification cards will be used for admission to the Syracuse game Saturday. Students who cannot pay their fees before Saturday and get ID cards must have a statement from the business office to be admitted.
Pay Your Fees, Or . . .
VATICAN CITY—(UPI)—Pope John XXIII, noting the "grave and dangerous" world situation, today called for prayers for peace in one of the most pessimistic messages of his pontificate.
"We do not live by illusions," he said. "The historic calling of peoples is at stake."
Referring to communism indirectly, the pontiff enumerated as the facts which endanger world peace "the general cheapening of life, the frenzy for becoming powerful, and the subtle but obstinate initiation to error which determines with anti-Christian theory and spirit the structure of a system of social life of the mass alienated from the truth by counterfeiting."
He urged the whole of humanity to pray and said he especially would pray for "the chiefs of state placed in high (posts) by providence," who carry the "most grave responsibilities in national and international assemblies."
Cambodia Asks End to Meddling
UNITED NATIONS — (UPI) — Neutralist Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia demanded today the United States and the Soviet Union keep hands off his country and turn Laos and Cambodia into a neutral zone between the two great power blocs.
He told the General Assembly that certain foreign "anti-Communist" elements are gifting support to a revolt against the present neutralist government in Laos and demanded an end to foreign influences and pressures aimed at dragging Laos into one bloc or another.
He said certain foreign leaders were planning to divide Laos into two separate countries as in divided Korea and Viet Nam and said the country must not be sacrificed.

purchased at the information booth or at the Kansas Union lobby.
The 75th anniversary open house of the School of Pharmacy will be Saturday. Nearly 100 pharmacists and their families plan to attend. The open house will be held in connection with a University Extension sponsored school for pharmacists Friday.
A CONFERENCE on Science Teacher Education is expected to
draw between 250 and 275 Kansas science teachers. Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, will welcome conferences.
High school officials, teachers and elementary educators numbering 850 will miss the game to attend the fourth annual Conference on Reading.
Radio broadcasters and sportswriters will have to make room for the television cameramen and equipment as they move in to televise Saturday's game. The KU-Syracuse clash is attracting much attention in the sports world and many pressmen plan to be on hand.

creased, not reduced, "to deal with crises as they may arise."
When Maeillan began by throwing his support to Hammarskjold and rejecting Khrushchev's proposal to abolish the post of Secretary General and set up a three-man Communist-style presidium in its place, the tumult began.
KHRUSICHHEV started pounding the table with both fists in a violent demonstration that outid his table-pounding against Hammarskjold himself last week. At one point he shouted so loudly that Macmillan was forced to stop speaking until the assembly president rapped for order.
ON PEACE:
Some of the highlights of Macmillan's speech are are follows:
"The Russian people no doubt believe, incredible as it is to us, that they may be attacked by the West. And so long as this fear exists . . . so long will the great armaments of the world represent an ever-increasing burden. . ."
COLONIALISM AND IMPERIALISM:
"Mr. Khrushchev made great play with this theme, but his exposition was demonstrably a complete distortion."
ON COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA:
DA:
ON CONTROLLED DISARMA-MENT:
"If we are to free mankind from ignorance, poverty and fear, we must at least free ourselves from old and worn-out slogans and obsolete battle cries."
"Words are not enough. The nations require some assurance of safety before they will act. In the vital matter of national survival it is not enough to sign agreements."
ON THE CONGO:
President Eisenhower's five-power program for Africa should be carried out to "increase, not reduce the power of the (U.N.) organization to deal with crises as they may arise." Internal Congo problems are not "a matter for this assembly."
ON GERMANY
"... I am amazed how reactionary and backward-looking much of the Communist arguments are ... instead of talking so much about the right of self-determination of the peoples of Africa, the Soviet authorities would do better to explain why they have consistently refused this right to the people of East Germany."
ON ASSISTANCE TO UNDER-
DEVELOPED NATIONS:
"We must all, within the limits of our resources, make the greatest possible contribution in men, money and materials . . . so far, the Communists have not contributed (to the World Bank)."
