The anticipated gift will mean

"TYPICAL" POLIO NURSE TO BE HONORED-Because she is
"typical" of all nurses caring for polio patients, Martha I. Boggs,

Prime Minister
Sees 'Treachery'
LONDON-(IP)-Prime Minister
Churchill roundly denounced
South Korea's President Syngman
Rhee for "treachery" yesterday
and warned that the United Na-
tions has no intention of going for-
ward to conquer all of Korea for
him.
A cheering House of Commons
greeted the Prime Minister's sharp
attack on the South Korean Presi-
dent for engineering the release of
thousands of anti - Communist
North Korean prisoners just as UN
and Communist negotiators near-
ed final agreement on a cease-
fire.
CHURCHILL said it would ap-
pear only sensible to round up the
released prisoners-as the Chinese
and North Korean Reds have de-
manded--and said "it might be
that reinforcements would be
needed for Korea in order to en-
force a policy of peace and good
faith." He did not elaborate on
this statement.
"It was hoped," said Church-
ill, "that by a settlement in
Korea-as there would have
been but for this Rhee's act of
bad faith-the United Nation
and the United States would
help to build up the ruined,
shattered area of North Korea
and by peaceful methods unite
that country.
Churchill disclosed he had sent
Rhee a stinging note protesting
the South Korean leader's action
to upset the truce negotiations and
declaring the British "strongly
condemn this treacherous viola-
tion of the authority of the UN
Command to whichdthe govern-
ment of Korea had agreed in
1950."

Gen. Clark Pays Second Call on Rhee
The Dean expressed hope,
however, the scholarships can be
made large enough to cover
more than just tuition.
This would provide more edu-
cational opportunities for those
who would otherwise be unable to
attend the University he feels.
Mrs. Groesbeck was the widow
of Clarence R. Groesbeck, des-
cribed as a utilities magnate
and former chairman of the
board of Electric Bond and
Share Co. of New York City. He
received an honorary doctor of
engineering degree from the
University in 1931.
The state in which the estate,
consisting largely of stocks and
bonds, is to be administered has
not yet been determined. Mrs.
Groesbeck died in San Diego on
Oct. 17, 1952.
University officials say it may
take several months before any
definite legal action is taken.

According to campus political
experts the Korean War has been
"immeasurably lengthened."
The recent release by South
Korean President Syngman Rhee
of 27,000 North Korean and Chi-
nese POWs who had expressed
reluctance to return home will
prove to be a serious setback in
the plans for any kind of speedy
truce, they said.
COMMENTING on yesterday's
announcement by UN Far East-
ern Commander Gen. Mark W.
Clark that he could sign an armis-
tice without South Korean approv-
al, the fact was stressed that such
a move would be pointless from a
political standpoint.
ENGLISH CONFERENCE:
Hatcher Says Students'
Capacity Underrated
According to Prof. Robert E.
Ward of the political science
department,".the Chinese have
said that a truce without South
Kor would have no meaning."
For this reason he said the Unit-
ed States would not push such
a move.
Commenting on the recent re-
lease of the 27,000 prisoners by
Rhee's government and the ob-
vious inability of the UN to con-
trol the activities of Rhee, Prof.
Ward said that the only way such
control could be exercised would
be "to subvert Rhee's govern-
ment."
* * *
THIS, he pointed out, would be
highly unethical from our stand-
point, but "because the situation
is desperate such a move has been
suggested.
"I don't know how such sug-
gestions have been received,"
he continued, "and I don't mean
to imply that this is the only
solution to the problem. Per-
haps Rhee is open to negotia-
tion. This would be far more
advisable."
Maintaining that any truce
without the consent of South Ko-
ro would "defeat the purpose of
the war," Prof. N. Marbury Efi-
menco of the political science de-
partment defined this purpose as
"collective security."
* * *
FOR THIS reason, he said, it
would be "dangerous to allow
South Korea to continue the war,
alone." He stressed "the strong
moral obligation of the United
Nations to unify Korea rather
than to merely halt aggression."
Prof. Efimenco pointed out
that because "the strain of war
was more telling on South Korea
than on the United States, and
because Rhee has always been
known to be obstinate and auto-
cratic" there seems to be little
chance that the UN would risk
pulling out of the war without
the consent of the Republic.
Another argument in opposition
to a truce under present condi-
tions, he said, is that such a
move "would not receive unani-

Japan.
The brevity of the meeting
suggested Clark might have de-
livered a message to Rhee, pos-
sibly an ultimatum.
Clark confronted Rhee Sunday
for the first time since the Pres-
ident upset an impending truce
and reportedly got Rhee's prom-
ise not to pull South Korean
troops out of the UN command
without warning.
FROM PUSAN came reports
U.S. troops redoubled precautions
against seething unrest among
anti-Communist Chinese on Cheju
Island and got back 107 Chinese
'prisoners who escaped here.
South Korean police quickly
rounded up the 107 Chinese,
presumably anti - Communists,
but did not lift a hand to restore
any of the more than 27,000 es-
caped anti-Red North Koreans.
South Korean police had little
trouble finding the Chinese who
fled the Pusan camp. The escapees
could not speak Korean. The po-
lice got them back the same day
they fled.

Enrollment'
Drops 5 %7c
From 1952
By GAYLE GREENE
Enrollment in the University's
60th Summer Session took a five
and a half percent dip from last
year as the Registrar's office re-
ported 6,004 enrollees yesterday.
Late registration and complete.
figures from summer camps are
expected to bring the final figures
to approximately 7,600, the regis-
trar added.
LAST SUMMER, 6,468 students
had enrolled when classes opened
but the final figure ran up to
8,323.
Late registration for the Sum-
mer Session is permitted for
teachers from schools and col-
leges whose closing dates pre-
Ivent their arrival for Monday
classes.
H. M. Dorr, director of the Sum-
mer Session explained yesterday
that the decrease, a general trend
across the nation, reflects the
large drop in enrollment in the
academic semesters of a few years
ago.
"Summer session increases
and decreasessalways trail such
fluctuations in the regular
school session by a few years, he
explained.
Enormous losses suffered in.
Summer Session veteran enroll-
ment have reached the low point,
Dorr added, "We expect to follow
a general trend up in the future,"
he continued.
PRELIMINARY figures, to be
supplemented later when statistics
from the summer camps reach the
registrar's office, show 1,544 vet-
erans enrolled, a decrease of about
340 over last summer's figures.
Slightly less than two men for
each woman on campus brings a
once highly fascinating ratio in
favor of the coed to a disheart-
ening low.
Graduate students outnumber
undergrads by more than a thous-
and.

"A little more and how much
it is,
A little less and what worlds
away."
Quoting from Robert Browning
to illustrate his point, President
Harlan Hatcher in a speech be-
fore the Conference of English
Teachers yesterday in Angell Hall
stressed the fact that school teach-
ers of all levels have underesti-
mated the importance of litera-
ture as a means of communication
and 'private meditation. He also
pointed out that they have under-
estimated the capacity of their
students in English.
* * ,
PRESIDENT Hatcher expressed
deep concern over the fact that
because of the current tendency to
debase literature, students are not
being taught effectively to ap-
preciate great English literature.
He especially cited Lincoln's
Gettysberg Address as an ex-
ample of the wonders that can
be accomplished with effective
