The Reds again dodged an an- swer on whether they intend to Big Powers' Talks End In Secrecy WASHINGTON - () - A high- level conference called to map strategy in case Red China tried to turn Indochina into another Korea ended list night in an at- mosphere of deep secrecy. No statement was issued as the military chiefs of the major Paci- fic powers concluded their deliber- ations. The only words that had emerged from the conference room all day expressed grief at the death in Paris of French Gen. Jean De Lattre De Tassigny, best known fighter against Communism in Indochina. Word of his passing at the age of 61 was received by the conferees as they faced up to the major is- ' sue before them: what will the U.S., Britain and other nations with high stakes in Southeast Asia ' do if Red China invades Indo- china? * * * T H E SECRECY which had shrouded preparations for the t meetings continued throughout the day. The only official guidance about the purpose and scope of the high level session came in the Churchill - Truman communique earlier this week. That statement said the military leaders would consider specific measures to strengthen the security of South- east Asia. Although none of the partici- pating nations-the U. S., Bri- tain, France, Australia, Canada and New Zealand-have publi- city framed solutions to the In- dochina question, diplomatic sources indicated these lines of approach: No sensational solution may be expected. The U. S., Britain and the British Commonwealth repre- sentatives probably will recom- mend to their political superiors prompt and energetic support for any French appeal to the UN in the event of an invasion in Indo- china. The deliberations may also tie in with the security treaties the U. S., has concluded with Aus- tralia, New Zealand and the Phi- lippines. These agreements are now before the senate for ratifi- cation. Enterprise' Skipper Lands By The Associated P'ress A tired little sailor in borrowed clothes, Capt. Kurt C a r 1 s e n stepped ashore a hero yesterday after losing a gruelling fight to save his Flying Enterprise from Atlantic gales. The dauntless skipper-20 days out of Hamburg on a voyage that ended in his first shipwreck- landed at the Prince of Wales pier in a small Cornish port with Mate Kenneth Dancy of the Bri- tish tug Turmoil, who rode the hurricane-cracked freighter with him for the final week of a two- week epic. The Enterprise plunged to the bottom Thursday. In New York, insurance of $800,- 000 on the Isbrandtsen Company boat-64 per cent of the insur- ance coverage on the ship - was paid yesterday. The ship was insured for a total of $1,200,000. The remaining $400,- 000 is understood to be covered build up air power in Korea dur- ing a truce. EXASPERATED Allied negotia- tors warned them yesterday there could be no progress toward a truce until the Reds make their intentions clear. But Maj. Gen. Howard M Turner, head of the truce sup- ervision subcommittee, emerged from a 50-minute meeting today and said there was no progress. "We continued to press for an expression from their side on their intent with regard to air- fields," he said. "They will not give us a clear answer. So we recon- vene at 11 a.m. tomorrow." A second subcommittee on ex- change on war prisoners met on schedule. Meanwhile, Communist j e t planes made their farthest pene- tration south yesterday, but four of them were shot down and one was damaged in a series of five air battles. In the past the Red planes have stayed within running distance of the Manchurian bor- der, over which American air- men are forbidden to pursue. Explaining their southward sor- ties, Maj. William Waltman, U. S. Fifth Air Force briefing officer, said ,"They are probably just get- ting more and more experience under their belts. Our boys up there today did not have any pic- nic." Don't Be Coy' Senator Urges Eisenhower WASHINGTON--(M)- Republi- can Sen. George Aiken of Vermont suggested yesterday Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower should "come out swinging and not be so coy" if the General wants to be President. Aiken, who has not openly en- dorsed anyone for the GOP nom- ination, declared the voters are "entitled to know Ike's views." He added to newsmen: "If Gen. Eisenhower wants to be President he should ask to be re- lieved of his present job and make his views known on domestic is- sues." The General said on Monday he would obey a "clear-cut call to political duty," but would not him- self campaign for the GOP nom- ination and would not ask Presi- dent Truman to relieve him from his post as Supreme Allied Com- mander in Western Europe. * * * THE CAMPAIGN to nominate Eisenhower got under way official- ly yesterday in Concord, N. H., when six prominent Republicans filed entries for the New Hamp- shire primary election, listing themselves as "favorable to" the General. Gov. Sherman Adams led the group of candidates for delegates to the GOP national convention. Indications multiplied that Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) would also be represented in the New Hampshire elections, although no candidates listed as "favorable" to nhim fled entries on the first day. Among the Democrats, James D. McPhail of Manchester became the first man in the country to file as a candidate favorable to Presi- dent Truman.

West Medical, a brick and wood joist structure built in 1903, should be torn down because of "the type of materials used and the very de- plorable means of egress," Renner declared. * * * RENNER also strongly criticized the storage of explosive volatile and inflammable liquids in the basement, and suggested construe- tion of an underground vault iso- lated from the building. The other buildings, all of 19th century vintage, contain wooden partitions and Floors, open stairwells and wooden joists, fire hazards characteristic of architecture of this period. However, all but the temporary journalism department building will continue in use for some time, University officials indicated. The journalism department will move to the new Angell Hall addition as soon as it is completed, probably next fall, with the final disposition of the dingyr red stone structure the department will vacate not See 'U' BUILDING, Page 4 -Daily-Al Reid PHARMACOLOGY BLDG.

Announcing a new allocation ofj strategic metals for the construc-- tion industry, the Defense Produc- tion Administration (DPA) said itI would provide for a level of only 600,000 new home starts this year.

In a sharply-worded "keynote" Address before a joint meeting of the NCAA and the American Foot- ball Coaches association, Hovde said it was "not right in principle" that violations of the athletic code should be punished by withdrawal of academic accredidation. The coaches put forth a program in answer to his statement in a hurried meeting of the American Football Coaches' Association, "THE PENALTY would be in- flicted upon those members of the faculty and student body who are not in any way involved in the violation," Hovde said. "In my judgment, violations of the athle- tic code should be penalized by athletic penalties, not by academic penalties." The Purdue presMent, a for- i t 1 ;; mer star quarterback at Minne- sota, severely criticized the foot- ball coaches for failure to de- velop high standards of ethics{ and for condoning unethical practices because "the other fel- low does it." A year ago, he said, the Big Ten coaches unanimously voted among themselves to discontinue bowl games but were not willing "to get up on their hind legs and say this publicly."
