Building Ban May Affect Future SU The recent government edict by the National Production Authori ty to control luxury dwellings, "may or may not" affect the Col lege's proposed Student Union building, Physical Plant Director, Walter Wiegand said yesterday. Director Wiegand explained that he "doesn't think" the NPA ban will stop plans for the SU building but added that the mat ter is quite "uncertain" as yet. The NPA ruling curtails all fu ture construction costing over $35,000. It also stops building of big apartments, factories, and public buildings requiring more than 25 tons of steel. With the critical nature of the steel situation increasing, only schools and hospitals are likely to get the NPA approval neces sary for future construction. FOX TO - SPEAK John A.

Zerban,. a STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1951 MacArth u r's Korea Peace Bid Blasted WASHINGTON, May 7 (W)— Secretary of Defense Marshall told Senators today that Gen. Douglas MacArthur's peace ap peal to the enemy last March destroyed for the time being any chances of a Korean War settle ment. He said the United Nations was preparing an announcement of preparations to discuss a war settlement when MacArthur issued a statement on March 24 that he *as ready to talk peace terms with the Red commander in Korea. "In view of the serious impact of Gen. MacArthur's statement on the negotiations of these nations," Marshall said, "it became nec essary to abandon the effort." Marshall made this statement after declaring that MacArthur's war plans would risk an all-out war with Russia, expose Europe to attack, and perhaps split the free world into two camps. But he hinted this country will hit Red China by air and sea if the Reds strike at American forces outside Korea, presum ably those in Japan and with the 7th Fleet off Formosa. He said he did not believe that bombing Chinese bases in Man churia will bring victory in Kor ea. And he added that while Mac- Arthur never violated military campaign_ directives—he did vio late orders against public state ments. Marshall told the joint Senate committees: 1. The. U.S. is discussing with UN allies a possible naval block ade of Red China's coast. 2. The administration opposes Red China's entry into the UN or giving the Communists control of the island of Formosa. 3. MacArthur was fired be cause his "basic differences of , judgment" with the President, himself, and the Joint Chiefs had caused them to doubt his com mand decision. U. S. Naval Reserve, will return to active duty with the Navy, and Kelso will conduct research on radio propagation at the Chal mers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
