Macmillan Studies West 'Pull Back'
By United Press International
The Berlin dilemma was looked at with a new light today as Prime Minister Harold Macmillan suggested the possibility of studying a pull back from Europe.
Also halting, preliminary steps toward a solution of the Berlin crisis were taken by President Eisenhower with his outlook of optimism over the latest Russian letter and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's agreement that Mr Macmillan's visit was useful.
In London, Mr. Macmillan called on the West to "study the possibility" of a partial back from central Europe to prevent war.
In Leipzig, Germany, Premier Khrushchev repeated his demand for a conference to conclude a German peace treaty. But Khrushchev again insisted that reunification can only be achieved through agreement between the two Germansys.
Premier Khrushchev said his talks with Macmillan had been "useful," and that both sides understood the other's attitude better.
In Washington, President Eisenhower told a press conference that the Western allies were "somewhat optimistic" as a result of the latest Soviet note on Berlin.
Pres. Eisenhower said the note from Khrushchev was filled with distortions, but it showed a somewhat less rigid attitude on Premier Khrushchev's part.
Pres. Eisenhower repeated that the United States will never abandon its rights and responsibilities in Berlin, and rejected the idea of a summit conference without assurance that constructive steps would result from the parley.
Mr. Maemillan told Commons the pullback plan would have to be studied together with all the countries involved. This would include the United States, which has the largest number of troops stationed in Western Europe.
He did not indicate whether he would include Soviet satellites as well as Russia in the conference.
Mr. Maemillan, reporting to the House of Commons on his meeting with Khrushchev, said he had had a "useful and constructive discussion" on the subject of limiting nuclear and conventional forces in Central Europe.
The nuclear-free zone for central
Europe was first proposed by Pohas been rejected in the past by Western leaders.
The zone would probably involve both Germanys, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.
ASC Business Includes Bicycles Elections, Labor
The All Student Council discussed bicycles, elections and student labor last night and then witnessed the swearing in of the student court justices.
A poll has shown that women students are interested in bicycle transportation on the campus. Bill Reed, Kansas City, Mo., senior and chairman of the Traffic and Safety Committee, said his group is planning a bicycle Emphasis Week for this spring.
David Wilson, Lawrence graduate student and chairman of the ASC Elections Committee, said his group is working on a new ballot for the spring election.
It would be an IBM card similar to enrollment cards that could be marked with a pencil and then counted quickly by IBM machines.
The Social Committee reported it had added $4,150 to the student scholarship fund. The money comes from fines for violation of social regulations.
The Student Labor Committee said a form letter sent to Lawrence merchants who hire students requesting a list of wage scales has drawn no replies. Further checking has been postponed.
The five student court justices appointed are Dudley Ann Wall, Wichita; Arthur B. McKinley, Medicine Lodge; Dan A. Young, Bernard E. Whalen and Lawrence L. Fiss, Lawrence. All are second-year law students.
Truman to See Attlee at KU
Two former leaders of the most powerful countries in the Western world-Harry Truman and Clement Attlee—will renew an old friendship Friday.
Former President Truman, head of the government from 1945 to 1952, will be on the campus to visit former Prime Minister Attlee of England, who will talk at an all-student convocation.
Earl Attlee was the head of the English government the same years President Truman held office in Washington.
Both men participated in many conferences, including the Potsdam Conference and the United Nations organization conference, both in 1945.
President Truman will lunch with Earl Attlee on Friday in Lawrence.
"The Future of Europe" will be the speech topic of Earl Attlee at the convocation in Hoch Auditorium starting at 9:20 a.m.
This will be the first visit to this country since 1952 for Earl Attlee, who is on a limited speaking tour of the United States.
Earl Attlee led the British Labor Party from 1935 to 1955 and was Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1945 to 1951.
In 1955 Queen Elizabeth conferred upon him an earldom in recognition of his service to his country. He took his seat in the House of Lords early in 1956.
While Earl Attlee was Prime Minister, the Labor government na-

practice their Rock Chalk skit, "A Jousting We Will Go," to be presented at the Revue this weekend.
The attraction of Broadway will pull nearly 150 student actors and actresses in Hoch Auditorium Friday and Saturday nights for the 1959 presentation of the ninth annual Rock Chalk Revue.
Continuity of the skits and acts will be tightened during this week. Backstage imprecations picked up by microphones will be muffled. Line fluffs will be fewer and cast members will get more than three hours of sleep a night.
Rehearsals at the participating houses have been in progress for many weeks, with dress rehearsals in Hoch this week. Three sororities and fraternities will present skits.
Backstage at Hoch cast members wave swords, trip over papier-mache whale meat and bump into
cardboard igloos. The prompt flips the script frantically to catch up with the action on stage.

Clement Attlee
In 1922 Earl Attlee was elected to Parliament. In 1931 he was elected deputy leader of the Labor Party in the House of Commons and in 1935 became the leader of the party. During World War II, Earl Attlee was invited by Prime Minister Churchill to join the coalition cabinet. He later became deputy Prime Minister.
In 1945 he attended the San Francisco Conference at which the United Nations charter was signed.
United Nations charter was signed. In the summer of 1945 Earl Attlee led his party in the general election. The Potsdam Conference was held before the election results were known and he was invited by Prime Minister Churchill to accompany him to the conference so both major parties could be represented.
On July 20, as a result of the Labor Party's victory at the poils, Earl Attlee became Prime Minister.
He led his government in two Parliaments from 1945 to 1951. When the Labor Party lost the general election of October, 1951, he again became leader of the opposition, a post he held until his resignation from the House of Commons late in 1955.
