U.S., German Students Differ In Religious Interests---Bethge Reds Coui Take China, ElfF eld Says By ART BRAVERMAN "Communists can and probably will overrun China, but adminis- tering the country will present a more difficult task than conquer- ing it" This was the comment of Prof. Russell H. Fifield of the political science department when queried on the current Communist ad- vances on the Chinese front. " s * "CHINA HAS NEVER been completely controlled by a central government, and is really only a loose union of provinces. Commu- nist control in the West will prob- ably be merely nominal as the war lords in that area are very strong." "They have always tried to get along with the winning side, however, and will probably co- operate with the Communists," he noted. "And there is nothing we can do to save the Nationalists," Prof. Fifield believes. "The fundamental reason for their defeat is a col- lapse in morale, more arms won't do the trick." "IN FACT, Maj. Gen. David G. Barr, who was recent head of American military advisers in China, testified before a congres- sional committee that the Nation- alists have never lost a battle for lack of arms or munitions." "Most of the arms we have sent them has fallen into Com- munist hands," Prof. Fifield said. The only place the Nationalists could possibly hold out is Formosa. "The Communists have neither a navy or air force strong enough to take the island," he said. * * * "CHIANG KAI-SHEK has al- ready moved the best parts of his navy and air force there," he noted, "and has large stocks of gold and silver on the island." "He may gamble on American support of his position there be- cause the U.S. has a stake in the islands off Asia." "China has a permanent seat on the Security Council and can use the Veto power. If the U.S. rec- ognizes a Chinese government base on Formosa, the Russian gov- ernment might oppose this move and try to get the seat on the Se- curity Council for a Communist controlled government of China." AIEE Meeting Begins Today Student and faculty represen- tatives from 19 schools;will as- semble herd for the Great Lakes District Student Branch Confer- ence of the AIEE, today and to- morrow. Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the engineering school will give the welcoming address at the morning session of the electrical engineer- ing conference. Graduate and undergraduate papers will be presented by stu- dents in competition with the other schools and prizes will be awarded. Al Forman, '50E, will represent the University in the presentation of his paper on the construction and testing of magnetrons, for which he recently won an AIEE award. Is the pen really mightier than the sword? Twenty love-sick maidens seem to think that it is. At least, their activities in the Gilbert and Sul- livan operetta "Patience" bear out the truth of this time-honored saying. "Patience," which will be pre- sented by the University Gilbert and Sullivan Society on May 12, 13, and 14, satirizes the activities of long-haired intellectual in typ- ical Gilbert and Sullivan fashion. The maidens spurn the affec- tions of a company of Her Maj- esty's finest dragoon guards and fall in love, all 20 of them, with local Gilbert and Sullivan society by Jimmie Lobaugh, who scored productions. a big hit in "Froggy Bottom", a ane Reginald Bunthorne, an aes- few weeks ago. thetic poet. e er ksslr The forthcoming production of General ticket sales for "Pa- "Patience" will feature a danc- tience" open Monday at the Ad- ing chorus, a new innovation for ministration Building.

Williams For The Big Three CON VEN I ENCE COURTESY SPEED Opera 'Patience' To Satirize Longhairs American students are con- cerned about the application of Christian ideals but German stu- dents want to know about specific theological doctrines. That's the observation of Eber- hard Bethge, of the University of Berlin, one of 100 German leaders sent to this country by the United States military government. Says College Should Make, SchoolFilms Universities should produce edu- cational films for the public school system, Kenneth Macgowan, movie producer and head of the theatre arts department at UCLA, declared yesterday in a speech called "The Screen-A Better Blackboard." "Films for educational purposes cannotbe produced profitably be- cause there is not a large enough market," Macgowan =pointed ut.r GRANTS FROM foundations are tied up in social and global projects, Macgowan said. "So, the logical place to turn to promote educational films is the University campus." "I don't propose that universities compete with commercial produc- tion of educational films," Mac- gowan declared. "But colleges could go into the fields which these producers won't touch," he, continued.; Films won't replace teachers but we can teach more students faster by means of films, Mac- gowan concluded. BETHGE WILL tour American universities to study the develop- ment of religious leadership among students. He was a guest of the national chaplains' confer-. ence which ended yesterday. At the University of Berlin lo- cated in the Russian zone where Bethge is the Lutheran 'chap- lain, there is a sharp division between church and state. Although the Lutheran organi- zation is made up only of students, it has no official connection with the university, Bethge said. "There are three acepted groups in Germany: the political parties, the trade unions and the free German youth. It is difficult for independent groups ith dis- senting ideas to get approval," he pointed out. While at the University, Bethge plans to visit many of the student organizations on campus. Stu- dents who wish to ask him ques- tions personally about his work in Germany may contact him at Lane Hall, he said. He will be here, until May 7.
