LXI, No. 9-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JULY 8, 1951 SIX PAGES 'U' INSTRUCTOR: Mixes Math and Fiction By ALICE MENCHER Shifting his attention from spheres and parabolas to the realm of science fiction is no prob- lem at all for H. Chandler Davis, full-time instructor of mathema- tics at the University and spare- time author. Writer of numerous science stories, some of which have been anthologized, Davis explains that the aim of his hobby is to put forth useful ideas for a future world, and not just to turn out wild adventure stories. HE WAS attracted to writing in the field of science fiction short- ly after the dropping of the first atomic bombs, and describes his initial efforts as "warning stor- ies." Condemning the characters in most current science fiction stor- ies as nothing more than cowboys in disguise, carrying atomic side- arms, Davis asserts that by this stereotyping a good medium is made ridiculous. Furthermore its authors are succinctly labelled "crack-pots." His experience with mathe- matical accuracy has made Da- yis a, stickler for factual cor- rectness in his stories, and he checks background material by extra research along the parti- cular story line. He believes that science fiction is slowly changing from a means of pure escapism to a more thoughtful presentation of ideas that could be realized in the near future. The outstanding feature of sci- ence fiction, Davis maintains, is that there are no limits on sub- ject matter, not even the proverb- ial sky, and because of this it will replace the ever-popular detective story which is stagnated by lim- ited ideas for new plots. BRAVE NEW WORLD--H. Chandler Davis puts math equations aside while he ponders the problems of the future, and tries to work out the solution in one of his science fiction stories. * * * * * * SCIENCE MOVIES also have yet )to come into their own, he says, and the only recent movie that has been technically careful has been "Destination Moon." Davis describes current sci- ence comics as misleading be- cause they make youngsters think science is some kind of magic, and that future wars will be great adventures of a scientifically swashbuckling na- ture. For those who insist that ex- tensive speculation about the fu- ture is fruitless, Davis replies simply that to act wisely in the future people must think and plan for it beforehand. Though science fiction cannot be confused with practical full- scale planning for the future, it could stimulate the public to con- structive thinking about it, he concludes. U.S. Yields To Demands Of Hungary Ends Information Cultural Posts WASHINGTON-(P)-The Uni- ted States, yielding to Communist Hungary's demand, closed down its information and cultural serv- ices in that country yesterday, but accused the Budapest regime of brazen falsehoods and ruthless terrorism against its own people. "The Hungarian Government," the State Department said in a note, "has contrived a tissue of falsehoods in a brazen though fu- tile attempt to justify before the world its continuing campaign to crush all dissent and to suppress the human rights and fundamen- tal freedoms of its citizens." HUNGARY HAD demanded the discontinuance of the U.S. Library, motion picture and musical pro- grams, as well as the recall of three American legation officials. It said the library and other services were camouflage for es- pionage, and that the three dip- lomats worked against the Red regime. In a note handed to the Hun- garian Foreign Office, the U. S. Government said there was no valid support for these charges World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Enough doc- tors, dentists and veterinarians have volunteered for military serv- ice to make draft calls unnecessary so far. PRESTWICK, Scotland-A U. S. Air Force flying tanker, un- able to land at Prestwick Airfield because of low clouds, crashed and burned about 40 miles from here today, killing all 11 crew- men aboard. Ten bodies had been recovered by mid-afternoon from the charred wreckage. NEW YORK-Scattered violence was reported and homes, restaur- ants and hotels were running short of bread yesterday in the sixth day of a strike by 4,000 metropoli- tan New York bakery truck driv- ers. * * * DETROIT - A mysterious flash of light, believed a meteor, zipped across Southern Michi- gan and Northern Ohio skies last night.

Hodes, Eighth Army, Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke, U.S. Navy, and Major Gen. Paik Sun Yup of the Republic of Korea Army. By The Associated Press Allied envoys went to Kaesong today (Sunday, Korean Time) for a dramatic meeting with the Reds to arrange armistice talks in the bloody, year-long Korean war. Two U.S. colonels and a South Korean lieutenant colonel took off in two helicopters from an advanced "peace camp." They were reported unofficially to have completed the short flight some 30 minutes later. The officers took with them two interpreters. They and a like number of Communist envoys will arrange for higher-level armistice Reach Kaesong r eliminar y Talks HOMECOMING EMBRACE--As Korean cease-fire arrangements proceeded bathing suit-clad models greeting battle-weary veterans returning to Seattle Friday didn't rate a glance from Pfc.

The 46-year-old Secretary of the Civil Rights Congress Bail Fund faced the prospect of spending the whole weekend there unless his attorneys could raise the money. Their task was difficult because Britain Moves To Carry out Court Order TEHRAN, Iran -(P) - Britain pursued a faint hope yesterday that Iran might accept the Hague court plan to keep the great Aba- dan refinery in operation pending a settlement of their oil dispute. The Iranians, in the wake of nationalist demonstrations rang- ing from civilian violence in this capital in the North to military displays in the oil capital of Aba- dan on the Persian Gulf, all but shut the door on conciliation ef- forts. The Iranian foreign office said the World Court action lack- ed validity. The International Court of Jus- tice at the Hague two days ago asked Iran to stay her oil nation- alization program. The court proposed continued operation of the billion-dollar An- glo-Iranian Oil Company plant under a board of two Britons, two Iranians and a neutral member. Revenues would be impounded for allotment'after a final settlement. Britain's move was in the form of a note delivered by Ambassador° Sir Francis Shepherd. It said the British will nominate their two board members soon and asked Iran to follow suit. SL To Hold Open Meeting The growth of student govern- ment will be the subject of the firtue n LiEni n1r pn m.- - banks and safe deposit vaults were closed until tomorrow. A court order barred them from getting the bond from the Civil Rights Congress which is listed as subversive by the At- torney General. It was the first the 46-year-old great great grandson of financier Cornelius Vanderbilt ever spent in custody. Mrs. Mary Kaufman, a counsel for the Civil Rights Congress, vis- ited him yesterday morning and his wife visited him briefly during the afternoon. HE WAS SENTENCED to 90 days by Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan for refusing to tell who provided the bail fund with $80,000 bond for four convicted American Communist leaders who subse- quently jumped bail. Soon after the bespectacled Harvard graduate was taken in handcuffs from the courtroom to the Federal House of Detention, his attorneys obtained a writ au- thorizing his release in $10,000 temporary bail pending his appeal. Top Passenger Train Wrecks UTICA, ILL.-(,P)-The Sante Fe Railway's El Capitan, fast Chicago to Los Angeles passenger train, was wrecked last night a mile east of Utica. First reports were that about 25 passengers were injured when the all-coach train left the tracks and piled up in a swampy area about 75 miles west of Chicago. WASHINGTON-(P)-President Truman told the Russian Govern- ment yesterday "there will be no war" if the Russian people can learn "the peace aims of the American people and government." "The peoples of both our coun- tries know from personal exper- ience the horror and misery of war," he said in a message to Nik- olai Mikhailovich Shvernik, Presi- dent of the Presidium of the Su- preme Soviet. "They abhor the thought of fu- ture conflict which they know would be waged by means of the most hideous .weapons in the his- tory of mankind." Mr. Truman sent the message to Moscow with a resolution Congress adopted last month, expressing the friendship and goodwill of the American people for all peoples, including the Russian. Congress asked him to ask the Russian Gov- Report Stalin' s Health Waning LONDON - (A') -'rhe Sunday Dispatch said last night that Prime Minister Stalin's health is declining steadily and that a sharp struggle among his would-be suc- cessors is taking place in the Kremlin. The newspaper, an independent conservative publication owned by Lord Rothermere, said Stalin's health has been one of the main reasons for the decision to "liqui- date" the Korean war, while the Kremlin is "internally weakened by a struggle for Stalin's job." The Sunday Dispatch did not disclose the source of its informa- tion. ernment to make the resolution known to its people, and Mr. Tru- man did so. His request was made politely and in humanitarian terms. How- ever, his reference to "the most hideous weapons" could be read in Moscow to mean that if the U.S. is forced into another war it will be prepared to use atomic wea- pons. Attlee Urges No Let-down In Armament LONDON-(P)--Prime Minister Clement Attlee said yesterday an end to the Korean War may lead to an era of peace but he warned that Britain's rearmament re- mains "necessary and vital and we have to go on with it." He told an All Wales Labor Rally at Newton that a cease-fire in Korea would not solve the Korean problem. BUT THE beginning of talks is a hopeful sign," he said. "If we can get a reasonable settlement there, there is hope that other difficult problems may yield to discussion and reason instead of brute force. "But at the present time we have that menace and we can- not afford not to be adequately armed." Two of his Cabinet Ministers told other Labor and Cooperative Society rallies that Britain must push ahead with its new arms program to safeguard its defense. * * * Tangle with Red Planes U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS, Korea-(IP)-Fifty or more Allied and Red jets battled at 20,000 feet over North Korea yesterday, but the opposing ground forces merely checked on each other's intentions pending truce talks at Kaesong. Over Sinanju, 40 miles north of Pyongyang, 25 to 30 Red MIG-15 jets clashed briefly with 24 U.S. F-86 Sabre jets, then fled North across the Manchurian border. Pilots of pursuing Sabres said they damaged two MIGs before they could cross the Yalu River boun- dary line. While negotiators headed for talks near Korea's 38th Parallel aimed at arranging a cease-fire parley, ground patrols moved war- ily into a no-man's land across the 100-mile front. The allied patrols were on the alert for any signs of Red build- ups during any negotiations. Yesterday, United Nations pa- trols moved almost at will around the Chorwon-Kumhwa-Pyongyang triangle area in Central Korea. This was one of two sectors where the Reds last had been reported concentrating. The other was in Western Korea round Yongchon, northeast of the Kaesong negotiation site. Over in the East-central sector, there were three small close-quar- ter clashes yesterday lasting five to 15 minutes, a pooled dispatch reported. May Increase ArmyStrength WASHINGTON-(P)-The Army may add six more divisions, it was learned yesterday. Defense Department officials are considering calling two or three more National Guard Divisions in- to Federal service late this fall or early next year. However, they have not decided on this finally nor have they tentatively tagged any of the 21 ground divisions of the Guard still remaining under state control for a call-up. . talks next week, possibly beginning Tuesday. (Peiping radio announced the Communist negotiators arrived at Kaesong yesterday afternoon dur- ing a temporary Allied ban on bombing and strafing the 130-mile route from Pyongyang to Kae- song.) THE SITE of the historic meet- ing is three miles south of Par- allel 38 in Western Korea. Kae- song, normally with a population of 45,000, was ancient Korea's capital for 400 years until 1300 A.D. Kaesong is 35 miles north- west of Seoul. It lies amid rolling hills in som, of the prettiest country on the rugged Asiatic peninsula. Two large green 'copters carry- ing the Allied envoys took off on the 11-air mail flight at 5:50 p.m., EST, yesterday. The flight, under normal con- ditions, would require less than 15 minutes. An unnamed Air Force general said more than an hour later that no word of the Allied mission's arrival at Kaesong was expected. Hence, it was presumed at the advance base the flight had been completed. The Allied officers are Col. An- drew J. Kinney of the U.S. Air Force, Col. James C. Murray of the U.S. Marine Corps, and Lt. Col. Soo Young Lie of the South Korean Army. Their identities were kept se- cret until a few minutes before their departure. * * * TODAY'S MEETING is intend- ed to arrange for higher-level armistice talks at Kaesong. These may begin next Tuesday, as re- quested by the Reds and agreed to tentatively by the United Na- tions. However, a definite date for the high command sessions may de- pend on the outcome of today's' meeting. The pre-arranged schedule call- ed for both parties to be on hand for the meeting some time after 6 p.m. EST yesterday. The Allied high command lifted a ban last midnight on Allied planes, freeing them to attack the Pyongyang-Kaesong road to with- in five miles of the meeting site. The Red delegation thus had been given 19 hours of immunity from air attack in which to cover 130 miles of bomb-cratered highway. Seventy-one war correspon- dents gathered at a press camp to cover the developments. The army would allow none to go beyondan advanced base camp. No newsmen were allowed to approach the Kaesong area. High officials in Washington said the shooting in Korea may go on for two, three or even four weeks after the preliminary meet- ing. They discounted any idea that peace would settle immediately over the bloody Asiatic battle- ground.
