World Spotlight
MacArthur Improved
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur battled back today from his second major operation in 18 days. Fifteen hours after the long operation, the signs appeared to favor another victory for the old soldier.
MacArthur was admittedly in serious condition after a six-hour operation to halt severe internal bleeding, but sources at Walter Reed Army Medical Center said his blood pressure and heartbeat were normal this morning after the anesthesia wore off.
Finn to Mediate Cyprus
NICOSIA, Cyprus—(UPI)—Final approval of a Finnish diplomat as Cyprus mediator appeared assured today, and chances rose for a negotiated settlement of the island's bitter communal dispute.
U. N. Secretary General U Thant was expected to make an announcement shortly on the acceptance of Sakari Tuomioja by the four nations involved, informed sources in Geneva reported. The Finn was proposed to the governments by Thant yesterday.
Greece and Britain announced approval today and Turkey and Cyprus were reported to favor Tuomioja for the ticklish job of trying to resolve the political differences between the warring Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
Peter Lorre Dies
HOLLYWOOD—(UPI)—Peter Lorre, mild-mannered Hungarianborn actor who brought terror and nervous laughter to moviegoers for three decades in his familiar role as a homicidal villain, died yesterday of an apparent stroke.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Pierce Bros. Mortuary Chapel here.
Lorre, 59, was found dead by housekeeper Beatrice Lane, his body lying clad in nightclothes beside a bed in his small combination bedroom-study apartment.
His wife, Anna Marie, from whom he was separated, and a daughter, Katherine. 10. were summoned after the body was found.
Mrs. Lorre was to have appeared in court yesterday for a default divorce hearing but the case was postponed at the last minute. They married in Hamburg, Germany in 1953. She was his third wife.
De Gaulle Home from Mexico
PARIS—(UPI)—President Charles de Gaulle returned home today from a tour of Mexico and the French West Indies which was aimed at increasing French influence in the hemisphere.
De Gaulle's American-made 707 jetliner landed in pouring rain at Orly Airport at 7 a.m., nearly an hour ahead of schedule. He made no arrival statement.
Despite the early hour, Premier Georges Pompidou and half a dozen other cabinet ministers were waiting at the airport to greet the President and his wife.
The trip has been hailed as a success in France and as a good omen for the extensive swing through South America he will make this fall.
Air Force Flying Lab Fails
CAPE KENNEDY—(UPI)—The second Air Force attempt to fire a delta-winged glider to the edge of space and retrieve it after a searing glide back to earth failed today when its booster rocket misfired.
The 1,176-pound flying laboratory, designed to help pave the way for manned spaceships of the future, plunged into the Atlantic about 500 miles to the southeast-far short of ships and planes that hoped to recover it 2.100 miles downrange.
An Air Force spokesman said the spacecraft apparently did not separate from its dead upper stage rocket and "probably sank just like a spear." However, two planes refueled and began a search on the slim chance it remained afloat.
Symphony To Perform Tomorrow
The KU Little Symphony, under the direction of Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will give a concert at 8 p.m. tomorrow night in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Organized by Dean Gorton 13 years ago, this chamber group of faculty members and advanced students presents standard orchestral repertoire, but also specializes in bringing to the public music seldom performed by the larger orchestras.
The Little Symphony serves as a vehicle for many contemporary offerings as well as obscure works of recognized masters.
Opening the program will be "Concerto Grosso in D Minor" by Vivaldi. Margaret Ling, instructor of Harp, and John Boulton, instructor of flute, wil be featured in Howard Hanson's "Serenade."
Other compositions on the program will be, "Tritico Botticelliano," by Respighi, and "Symphony No. 5" by Schubert.
The concert is open to the public without charge.
Corps Explained At Union Booth
Peace Corps Week at KU has begun.
Yesterday there were interviews and classroom lectures while representatives answered questions at the information booth in the lobby of the Kansas Union.
The information booth was covered with colorful pamphlets and folders describing every phase of Peace Corps activity. Peace Corps fact books were spread over the counter, with various project reports from South American and African countries, and questionnaires to be filled out by interested students.
Joe Andreano, a Peace Corps representative from Washington working in the booth, reported that after a day in operation about 40 students had signed up to take the Peace Corps tests.
A new film distributed by the Peace Corps is being shown every afternoon at 4:00 and again at 6:30. The film is approximately 28 minutes in length, and concerns Peace Corps activities in various project areas.
"The KU Peace Corps committee has done a wonderful job of organizing the Week," James Adams, another of the Washington representatives said. "The booth was set up Friday, so only last minute touches were necessary before he opened Monday morning."
John Fairhurst, Wichita junior, is the chairman of the Peace Corps Committee which planned the Week.
