Non-Stop Learning
Urged By Sparks
WASHINGTON, March 1.—(4 )
—Non-stop education for men ex
empted from the draft to attend
college was suggested to Con
gress today by an Indiana educa
tor.
Dr. •Frank H. Sparks, president
of Wabash college, broached the
idea to the House Armed Forces
committee, which is considering
draft law changes.
He said colleges and universi
ties could condense the normal
four year course into two years
and eight months by eliminating
all vacations and requiring con
tinuous classes,
"We could give them the alter
native of that or Korea," sug
gested Representative Rivers (D.
S.C.)
Truman Sees
Compromise
With Labor
WASHINGTON, March 2 VP)
--- The Truman administration to
day apparently decided on a cool
ing off period in an affort to end
the labor leaders' •"revolt" against
mobilization policies.
The tip-off was cancellation of
a statement by Charles E. Wilson,
mobilization director. He had let
it be known he would reply today
to the attacks the union leaders
made on him when they pulled
their representatives out of th e
economic controls setup.
The administration appeared to
I believe the crisis could be corn
l'promised. President Truman in
dicated this yesterday when he
said it is not very serious; just a
disagreement.-
The unions argue they have not
been given enough voice in the
program; that the program favors
big business, and is unfair.
In the labor controversy, quiet
also descended on the union front.
The United Labor Policy commit
tee scheduled its next meeting for
Monday. It is composed of the
AFL, CIO and railroad groups.
Aides of stabilization director
Eric Johnston said they expect it
wil take ten days to two weeks
to se t up another wage board
which labor may re-join.

West German parliament in Bonn.

PAGE THREE
Nevertheless, the East German
volkskammer (p arli am en t) re
newed the drive for such a coun
cil only today. A resolution was
adopted urging East and West
Germany to present a united front
program to the Big Four. The pro
posals include a peace treaty this
year, withdrawal, of all occupa
tion troops within a year after the
signing,-reuniting the nation, and
disarmament.
The Big Four deputies, meeting
Monday are slated to outline what
topics of East-West tension should
be discussed by a possible Big
Four foreign ministers' conference
and not to decide policy matters.
But East German and satellite
circles advanced the theory the
Russians, headed by Deputy For
will concentrate on German eco
nomic questions.
It was announced Officially in
Bonn today that the United States,
Britain, and France will give West
Germany formal permission to set
up a foreign office next Tuesday.
This was based on an agreement
by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
cabinet to recognize responsibility
for Germany's prewar debts. Re
vision of the occupation statute
will modify a number of allied
controls on West German political
and economic activity,
Allied plans to-rearm West Ger
mans as part of the master defense
against Communism have hit the
Soviet Union like a body blow.
Ending that move was -a major
aim of the Russians' original pro
posal last Nov. 3 for a new confer
ence of the foreign ministers.
