New Policy
Asked for
Germany
BONN, Germany, Feb., 11--(1T')
--;-The Allied high commissioners,
despairing of an early agreement
on a German peace settlement,
asked the Big Three foreign min
isters today for a new policy di
rective on Germany.
The commissioners told the min
isters they not only have made
little progress since last Septem
ber in negotiating with the Ger
mans, but that they are unable
to agree on many points among
themselves.
British 'Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden, French Foreign Min
ister Robert Schuman, and U.S.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
asked their high commissioners in
Germany to report whether suf
ficient agreement has been
reached to invite West Germany's
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to
the foreign ministers' conference
starting next Saturday in Lon- .
don.
Informed officials in. London
said it already has been decided
to invite Adenauer to their three
day talks. Whether the discourag
ing report from the high com
missioners will change that de
cision was not known.
At a speCial meeting today, the
high commissioners described the
progress of 'p ea c e negotiations
with the Germans as "gloomy
and discouraging."

tional convention which meets in
Cihcago on July 7. MacArthur got
two.
However, it was considered likely
that MacArthur's strength will
eventually
,be thrown behind Taft.
Many expect MacArthur to make
it clear that he favors the Ohio
senator. MacArthur has already
asked delegates in other states
not to run under' his name.
Cheers of _more than 1300 per
sons at the Oklahoma state con
vention showed MacArthur was
the sentimental choice.• Applause
for Taft and Eisenhower was
about equal.

ously.

set afire as the flaming four
engine National Airlines plane
faltered on the takeoff and roared
downward out of control.
Miami Bound
It brought to nearly ,120 the
death toll in three similar crashes
since Dec. 16—an average of more
than two human lives for every
day the airport has operated since
the day before the pre-Christmas
crash.
The huge Miami-bound airliner
with 63 aboard was in trouble
almost as she left the ground at
NeWark, three miles away,' at
12:18 a.m."(EST). One or two en
gines failed and the pilot radioed
a terse "can't make it back" as
a prelude to the latest disaster.
Airport Closed
With the passengers inside
screaming in terror, the plane
thundered downward from the
brightly moonlit sky, just missed
a children's home where 46
youngsters • were asleep and
smacked into the apartment build
ing in the 'fashionable Westmin
ster section of the city. In an in
stant, flames mushroomed from
the building. The' fiery wreckage
was strewn about a playground
in the rear of the children's home.
Less than three. hours later, the
Port of New York Authority shut
down Newark Airport, lowering
at long last - what Elizabeth's
mayor, James T. Kirk, has called
an "umbrella of death" over the
city of 110,000 persons.

Ike Drive
For Primary
Starts in Pa.
HARRISBURG, Feb. 11—(2?)
Petitions were circulated today to
place Gen. 'l3 wig h t D. Eisen
hower's name on the ballot as a
Republican candidate for Presi
dent at the April 22 Pennsylvania
primary.
However, Edwin F. Russell,
newly named chairman of the
"Citizens-for-Eisenhower" c o m
mittee in Pennsylvania, said .a
decision has yet to be made as to
whether the petitions will be for
mally filed. -
Gen. Eisenhower's signature is
unnecessary on nominating pe
titions in Pennsylvania. Neither is
the result of the presidential pref
erence vote binding on the state's
70 delegates to the party's nomin
ating, convention.
Russell, Harrisburg publisher,
explained to a reporter that a de
cision might be made. "at the last
minute" to ent e r Gen. Eisen
hower's name in Pennsylvania
and that the machinery to do it
is being set up for use, in case it
is needed.
Next Monday, Feb. 18, is the
last day for candidates to file
nominating petitions for the
spring primary.
No names have yet been entered
in the presidential preference pri
mary on either Democratic or Re
publican tickets. If no names, are
formally entered there will be a
blank space on both tickets for
voters to write in the names of
their favorite.
U.S.,Senator James H. Duff, a
leading Eisenhower supporter,
said a week ago in Philadelphia
that he favored the general's name
in the state primary but that top
-lev el Eisenhower-for-President
leaders have made no decision on
the question.

IT'S A FACT
Did you know that Ellen Cross was the first woman
student to enter Penn State. Her request of entry was
approved by the Board on September 5, 1871. She and
five other woman students were housed on the top floors
of the west wing of Old Main, and were under the direct
supervision of a preceptress. The girls studied the same
courses as those followed by the male students, plus
music and modern lcinguage.
Which of today's many campus coeds will be the
first to 'have her beau take her down 'to Vic's for a Val
entine's Day treat, one of Vic's delicious cherry sundae's?
And coeds know that Vic serves the best sundaes in
State College.

China Out of Truce
By Own Hand—Joy
MUNSAN, Korea, Tuesday, Feb. 12-.--(iP)—Rear Adm. C. Turner
Joy told the Communists Monday that by their own standards Red
China is not entitled to a seat at a Korean peace conference.
The chief UN truce negotiator also warned that if the Com
munists insist on discussing such
"inappropriate" matters as the fu
ture of Formosa and other sweep
ing Asian problems, the United
Nations may block action on arm
istice agenda item five recom
mendations ;to governments in
volved in Kofea
The Allies already have said
emphatically that unless both
sides agree on recommendations
none can be made.
The Communists may attempt
to justify Red China's participa
tion in a post-armistice conference
when the full truce delegations
meet in Panmunjom at 10 a.m. to
day (8 p.m. EST).
"During the course of the hos
tilities in Korea," Joy told the
Reds Monday, "both the Demo
cratic Peoples Republic of Ko
rea and the Peoples Republic of
China have repeatedly insisted
that the Chinese units engaged in
the hostilities are volunteers and
that their sudden appearance in
Korea was completely unrelated
to any official action on the part
of their political authorities .
"Clearly, the People's Repub
lic of China would not qualify
(for a peace conference seat) un
der your own criterion."
Joy suggested a possible solu
tion might be to eliminate all
names of specific governments
from a proposal for a post-armis
tice conference.

CAGE THREE
Groups Hit
UNIT Bill
In Senate
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—(AP)
—Segments of labor and agricul
ture represented by four strong
organizations vigorously opposed
universal military training (UMT)
in Senate hearings today.
The CIO, AFL, National
Grange, and National Farmers
Union voiced their opposition be
fore the armed services commit
tee.
Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D-
Colo.), not a committee member,
has said he will fight a last-ditch
action on the Senate floor in an
attempt to beat the measure.
UMT calls for six months'
training for all physically fit 18
year olds.
The principle of UMT was ap
proved by Congress last year. It
then gave the House and Senate
military committees a deadline
for action of this Feb. 21. Chair
man Russell (D-Ga.) hopes to re
port a bill to the Senate by' that
time.
State Studies
Blood Typing
HARRISBURG, Feb. 11 —(AP)
—Medical experts set out today
to devise a maps blood typing
program for Pennsylvania resi
dents as part of the civil defense
effort.
. Dr. Richard Gerstell, state civil
defense director, said the state
medical society has been given
the job of preparing the program.
The first task, Gerstell empha
sized, will be to locate as many
universal donors as possible. Uni
versal donors are persons whose
blood can be given to all injured
person's, regardless of blood type.
Also, he said, heavy stress will
be laid upon the accumulation of
blood banks as well as large
numbers of readily available don
ors.
The defense official said mass
blood typing probably will not be
conducted on a statewide basis,
but rather will concentrate on
persons in the more heavily in
habited areas who can be reached
quickly in event of an air attack.
