1 ' ] I Church of Death Sj Consideration Of Red China Out Chicken With Trimmings <. !sv -f ' ^ ••'■ v / When Taejon was recaptured by UN forces, an ancient church’s basement had been turned into a graveyard for hundreds of victims of the Red terrorists. Jerry Zuber, campus news editor of The Battalion, attended a Christmas party in the church while serving in Korea in 1946. Old Church Hides Taejon Atrocities By JERRY ZUBER Bodies of 1,100 Korean civilians murdered by Red invaders have been found thus far in the ruined town of Taejon in central sector of South Korea. It is feared that 5,000 or 6,000 people have been murdered there by the Red horde, according to Associated Press re- Official Notice CANDIDATES FOR DEGREES: Any student who normally expects to' complete al)'the requirements for a degiee by the end of the current semester should call by the Registrar's Office NOW and make formal application for a degree.

Each Graduate student is required to suggest the names of members of the Graduate Faculty whom he wishes to serve on his committee early in his first semes ter. The committee is to meet and consult with the student and outline a complete course of study for his graduate degree before the end of the eighth week of his first semester. This is designed to insure that the student, the committee and the Graduate School know what is to be required of him. The student may then follow a logical and well balanced pro gram each time he registers thereafter. The necessary forms and any suggestions and help needed may be obtained by call ing at the office of the Graduate School. A student wishing to register for any term after his first term of graduate work must bring his copy of his official grad uate course of study to registration with notations on it to show tile courses al ready alien and the grades received.

A desecrated church gave up the greatest number of nearly 700. Most were found in a huge mass grave. An unknown number of others—perhaps 100—lay in the basement of that church, a former French Canadian monastery, he continues. Christmas afternoon in 1946 I sat in that same basement and watched a children’s Sunday school class put on a Christmas program for a dozen American guests from the Station Hospital outside Tae jon, where I was stationed. The class sang a Korean Christ mas song in Korean and sang an American carol in halting English. They weren’t much different from thousands of other small boys and girls all over the United States that same, day, putting on Christ mas programs. But there won’t he any more Christmas programs in that base ment. It has been turned into a mortuary of horror. The Rev. Francis C. Biel, a Franciscan and an Army Chaplain, said he regarded the church as no longer usable by Catholics. Every sacred image had been destroyed. A defiled cross surmounted the mass grave, which has not yet been fully uncovered, Price says. The priest of the church re mained in the town during Red occupation, but he has since dis appeared. “The natives say he was taken to Seoul,” Father Biel reported, “but I am sure I know what they did to him. He did not live to reach Seoul.” There were two priests at the monastery when I was in Taejon. Often, on Sunday mornings I drove to the monastery from the hospital and brought one in to give Catholic mass. Pie didn’t speak much English, so our conversation was limited. He was a kindly man and very merry. Merry considering that he and two fellow priests were held prisoners in the same room in the monastery for four years while the United States and Japan were at war. Originally from Canada, the priest had Iwen in Korea over 20 years when I knew him. I never learned his name. Possibly there will be another ex tended occupation after the Korean War is won. Some other day there might be a Christmas program similar to the one I attended in 1946. Will that auditorium too be come a death house? By J. M. ROBERTS, JR. </P) Foreign Affairs Analyst Any idea that the United Nations would consider the admission of Communist China as a corollary of a Korean war settlement seems to have gone out the window. India, which once proposed such a ‘ trading” settlement, and Rus- ,ia, which agreed it was a good dea, are not even expected to push he matter any more. Sources dose to the II.N. are con vinced Russia has pursued her course on Communist China with tongue in creek, really determined not to permit accreditation. One source even said he believed the Russians would tear down the U.N. building to keep Mao out. What Russia really wants to do is to build even more of an iron curtain around China than she has the Western satellites, these observers say, in a determination to prevent all contact with the outside. No II. S. Recognition U. S. recognition .of the Peiping regime also seems dead for now, with nothing to be gained except a kick in the teeth such as Britain received for her pains. The U. S. seemed to be on the verge of recognition at the begin ning of the year when the Com munist detention of consul Angus Ward tore the lid off. U. N. ob servers believe the Ward case Avas one of the events inspired by Rus sia to prevent it. It also is recalled thai France was preparing to extend recogni tion at the same time, when Pei ping suddenly extended recognition to the rebel “government” of Ho Chi Minh in Indochina. Nobody believes Mao acted independently in this matte)'. Russian Strategy Rome even believed the Russian walkout from the Securky Council last winter, at a time when the na- t'ons were rapidly recognizing Pei- i'ing, was at least partly calculat' d to prevent the matter of memlv 1- .'.hip from coming to a head. II. N. h aders still want to avoid a direct, clash with Russia or Coin- munlst China in Korea. It begins to look like action on the matter of crossing the . f 18th Parallel will he couched in very general terms. Some sort of an expression of ex pectation that the U. N. high com mand -which means General Mac- Arthur and the United States—will do what is necessary to effect U.N'., aims in Korea, which are restora-; tion of peace, security for South Korea, and ultimate national unity. It may develop that South Ko reans, or other Allied troops under MacArthur, could do the job with-! out American troops. Or, of course, it could develop that the U.N. commission on Ko-1 rea would be admitted to a sur rendering North Korea, and a set tlement, including unification, could be worked out without military oc cupation at all.

Three attractive Bryanites find themselves sur rounded by admiring—but hungry—cadets ate yesterday’s “birthday picnic” in the Kyle Field stands, celebrating A&M’s entrance into its 75th year. Twins Edgardene and Charlene Jenkins, on the left, and Peggy Sanders pause while en gaging in a death battle with juicy pieces of chicken. Subsistence Director J. G. Peniston claimed he could serve over 5(10 people per min ute, and judging from the swift movement of food lines, he did.
