Reds Commence
New Offensive
Push In Korea
TOKYO, Tuesday, Feb: 13---(A")
—More than 100,000 Chinese and
North Korean Reds some using
American-type bazookas against
American tanks —swept down
th e snowy mountain passes of
central Korea today in a new
threat to divide United Nations
forces.
The counter-drive by elements
of nine Chinese and six North
Korean divisions landed with
stunning force on two South Ko
rean divisions and forward Amer
ican units.
The Red offensive, gaining mo
mentum all day Monday after its
start late Sunday night, drove a
seven-mile wedge in the Allied
lines.
Attack Is Typical
It was a typical blood-curdling
Chinese Communist attack, coin
plete with suicidal charges, bugle
blowing, bell ringing, whistle
tooting and drum-beating.
Treacherously, some Chinese
waved white flags and offered
handshakes in a surrender ges
ture then. blasted an American
unit with hand grenades."
Swarms of Chinese, "like fleas,"
poured out of their mountain
hideouts to engage in •"a point

U. S. officer.

from the north in their first ma
jor attack since they smashed

West Dorms Ask
Mealtime Extension
West dorm council last night unanimously voted to ask the Food
Service department to extend the noon meal dining time, and
threatened to go to a "higher authority" should it not get "satis
faction" from this source.
`lt was indicated that the "higher source" the council had in
mind was President Eisenhower.
Lunch hours now in effect are from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m
The proposal called for an exten
sion from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Promises to do something about
the long lines had been made by
various administration spokesmen
last semester, but nothing had
come of them, Thomas Durek,
council president, said.
Criticism was directed at Mil
dred A. Baker, Food Service di
rector. Complaints about the long
lines and service have been di
rected to her office without •re
sults, council members said.
Earlier in the day Miss Baker
did not have any comment on the
slow-down campaign that tied up
service in the West dorm dining
halls last week. The council ac
tion was seen as an outgrowth
of that incident.

More Veterans
The College policy of granting
part or 'full ROTC credits to ex
servicemen, which formerly ap- ,
plied only to men who had served

senate meeting Thursday.
The scale of credits remains
unchanged from that applied to
the pre-1947 vets. For more than
one year's active service, men

excused from the two year basic
ROTC course.
Men with six to 12 months ac

events, was born Emile Herzog, in
a small industrial center in Nor
mandy.
His parents, textile manufac
turers, wanted him to enter busi
ness, but this did not appeal to
him and instead he attended the
College of Rouen, intending to
become a professor of philoso
phy. In his study of languages
there, he became interested in
English writing and writers. .
Writes First Book
Because of his knowledge of
English, Maurois became a liaison
officer to British troops during
World War I. While associated
with the English soldiers, his first
book, "The Silences of Colonel
Bramble," was published and be
came a best-seller.
After this he continued with
critical works. In 1923 his great
est success, "Ariel, the Life of
Shelley," placed its author in the
ranks of the best-known writers
of literary criticism and biogra
phy. Many other successful books.
including, "The Tr a god y of
France," "The Art of Living." and
"Miracle of America," followed.
"Maurois was a member of the
French Assembly in 1938. In
World War II he was a command
officer in 'the French Army, and
was awarded the Distinguished
Conduct Medal after the Corsican
and Italian campaigns.
His early ambitions of becoming
a professor have been fulfilled
both in this country and abroad.
He has lectured and taught at
Princeton, Mills College, Knox
College, and the University of
Buffalo, and has delivered the
Lowell Lectures at Harvard.

Anthony Eden, deputy conser
vative leader, in a House of Com
mons speech critical of the Labor
government, called for a plain de
claration by the Western powers
that they would defend Yugosla
via from Communist aggression.
"We can best serve peace by
warning any would-be aggressors
of the consequences of their acts
before they make them," said
Eden.
Attlee's speech to Commons
was made after official reports
from Korea had said South Ko
