They Want a Girl , . .
Player’s Rehearsals Start,
Casting Almost Complete
Queen Candidate
By WAYNE DAVIS
The Aggie Players are looking
for a girl.
This one has to be a special type
of girl, though. She must be able
to act, and she must also look all
of 13 years old. She should pre
ferably be able to memorize three
lines of script.
Any takers?
The Players have just started re
hearsal on their latest attempt,
Edward Chodorov’s “Kind Lady.”
It’s the story of an elderly old
maid dominated by a vicious,, sadis
tic, utterly ruthless little gangster
who uses a sick wife and a borrow-

Casting was the easiest job of
all. It was a simple matter for
Director C. K. Esten to assemble
a group of actors from the club
members; the only thing, though,
is that after using up six actors
and seven acrtesses, he ran out of
talent. And now he’s stuck for a
thirteen-year-old brat.
Pete Carson has his troubles,
too. He’s the stage manager. A
veteran of two years with the
Players, Pete has yet to take a
speaking part, except for a bit he
did in “Rio Rita,” the Players’
summer feature done in coopera
tion with the Singing Cadets. At
any rate, it’s the same old story to
Pete—not enough help backstage.
All Pete has to do, so far, is
borrow some furniture suitable for
a wealthy old maid’s home, paint

Landscape Artists
Hold Design Show
A contemporary garden design
highlights the exhibit now on dis
play by the department of Land
scape Arts, in room 317 Agricul
tural Engineering Building.
The garden, which was designed
by Jim Schroeder, senior Land
scape Architecture major from
Dallas, is one that is rarely seen
in the South.
It is a small unit that can be
constructed in a limited space, yet
it gives separation of space and
visual penetration of space as well
as added beauty to a home, W. M.
Ruff of the Landscape Arts De
partment explained.
This type of garden presents
“quite a radical change in gar
den design and garden material,”
Ruff said, as well as giving one
a place of relaxation.
The garden will be on exhibi
tion for about a week, and the
public is cordially invited to in
spect it at any time, Ruff added.

faculty and students of A and M College . . .

Gordon Milne, Players president,
is stuck too. He needs help in pro
motion. As advertising manager
it’s his job to see that there’s an

what by the fact that Players
audiences have been getting big

not to the extent that he can stop

job. All they have to do is mem

Commies Suffer
Austria Defeat
Vienna, Austria, Oct. 6—
(j^P)—Communism today suf
fered one of its most crushing
defeats in Europe as Austria
returned to normal after two
days of Red terror.
Trains were running on schedule
again. Street cars operated un
hindered, and 50,000 striking Reds
went back to work.
Ten days of Communist efforts
to foment a general strike to ter
rorize the country, to isolate its
capital and perhaps to set up a
rump government were abandoned
at midnight.
The Communist leaders called off
their ineffective two-day-old gen
eral strike and within minutes Red
demonstrators took down barri
cades which yesterday closed all
but one of Vienna’s main rail lines
and froze traffic from the capital
into the Soviet' zone.
The Reds gave up in the face
of calm resistance by the rest of
the Austrians, who since the 12th
century have sat at the crossroads
of the East and West and repeat
edly have thrown back Eastern ag
gression.
The bulk of the country’s labor
ers ignored the Communist strike
call. The non-Communists cour
ageously battled fanatic young
Reds for control of factories, pow
er plants, transport facilities and
government buildings.
The Reds said they called off
their strike because of “Western
pressure.”
A purge of Red leadership was
definitely in the cards as a result
of the fiasco. But that was of sec
ondary importance. More important
was that Austria would safely re
main the West’s easternmost
stronghold on the fringes of Rus
sia’s defense line in Europe.
The failure of the Communist
attempt showed that only direct
aggression by Russia might win
this country to the Red fold. This
the Soviets apparently were not
ready for.
Reporters Amazed
By Korean War End
By DON WHITEHEAD
(For Hal Boyle)
Somewhere in Korea—(TP)—The
victory of United Nations’ arms
over the North Korean Communists
has come so swiftly that it is
difficult to realize the Korean war
may be almost over.
In a reporter’s pleasure of time
the shift in fortunes came in one
single notebook full of notes—160
small pages of scribbled names and
events which record the march
from the Inchon beachhead to the
capture of Seoul.
Thai notebook is frayed and
stained, but when I Faf through
it the lines come to life and scenes
flash across the pages as clear and
bright as the day they were im
printed on my memory.
There was the debris and the
obscene destruction of war on the
1 load from battered Inchon towards
: Seoul . . . the revolting tangle of
! dead Reds lying on the road mash-

Tokyo, Oct. 6—<7P)—A United
Nations army of up to 175,000
troops massed to yank down
the iron curtain of parallel 38 and
wipe out Red resistance in all Ko
rea.
The non-Korean allies kept south
of the artificial border stood ready
to cross and join South Koreans
who have already pierced the cur
tain and probed 60 miles or more
into the Communist-ruled north-
land.
General MacArthur’s headquar
ters made it clear that all his
forces are ready to go into North
Korea as needed. *
Non-Korean troops had been held
south of 38 since the South Koreans
stabbed across Sunday.
The question of their crossing
from liberated South Korea was
considered only as a military issue,
General MacArthur’s headquarters
said, and not as a political hurdle
at this stage.
“Use Any Means”
The United Nations at Lake Suc
cess Wednesday night directed
MacArthur, in effect, to use any
means at his command to unify
Korea.
Parallel 38 was drawn originally
to designate American and Rus
sian zones for acceptance of the
Japanese surrender after World
War II.
The allied political aim is a uni
fied, independent Korea. Indoctri
nated and armed by Russia, the
North Koreans plunged across the
parallel June 25. The historic ini
tial U.N. armed peace-enforcement
action crushed. the Red invaders
in three months.
To mop up the remnants, the
U.N. forces waited only for com
pletion of the buildup eastward
from the Seoul-Inchon west coast
area and for final decisions on
strategy. There was no indication
of where the main allied blows
would fall or whether they might
be amphibious or overlaid.
Ignoring Ultimatums
The Red regime continued to
ignore surrender ultimatums first
aired by MacArthur last Sunday
and repeated since.
When 1949 Aggies made only 92
points, it marked the first time
since 1932 that an Aggie football
team had failed to score 100 points
in a varsity season.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1950
American marines punched
northward from rubbled Uijongbu,
20 miles south of 38 and about 11
miles northeast of Seoul. Resist
ance was scattered.
On the east coast, the South
Korean Third Division was 60 miles
north of the Red border. It was
within 25 miles of Tongchon, where
the Reds might attempt a stand in
defense of Wonsan, an industrial
center, some 25 miles farther north.
South Koreans In
At least 20,000 Korean republi
can troops were already in Red
territory. These are the Capital
Division inland and the Third on
the sea of Japan coast.
Other South Korean divisions
totaling perhaps 30,000 men were
either across the boundary or ar
rayed along it.
There had been speculations—
official and other—as to whose or
ders sent the Republican forces
across the boundary Sunday. But
if this had been a hot potato, it
evidently had cooled enough for
handling by American military
sources. They said:
“G'eneral MacArthur had as
much authority over the South Ko
rean forces as he does over an
American division.”

40 years ago. The schools didn’t
meet from 1912 to 1944.
No Major Errors
Wilkinson’s new Sooner outfit
hustled hard against Boston Col
lege, making no major errors as
they triumphed 28-0 on their home
field. With practically a new team
replacing the one Oklahoma over
whelmed 46-0 at Boston last year,
the Eagles had plenty of spirit but
lacked the manpower and the of
fense versatility to test accurately
Wilkinson’s new team.
Oklahoma will get that test Sat
urday.
Denny Myers, Boston College’s
coach, summed it up as follows
after the game: “The Sooners are
about one touchdown better than
Boston College. We made three
mistakes which cost us touchdowns.
The Oklahoma club this year defin
itely falls below their team of last
year.”
Brannan Plan
Losing Favor
Milwaukee, Oct. 6—U?)—
The Brannan Farm Plan for
the support of agriculture,
says Vice President Barkley,
is losing favor with the ad
ministration.
In the first indication that the
much discussed proposal might
not be pressed ardently by Demo
crats in the present election cam
paign, Barkley told a news confer
ence last night:
“The Brannan Plan is controver
sial. It is entitled to be studied
but I am not committed to it and
administration is not committed to
it.”
The vice president set the tone
for his 15-state tour in behalf of
Democratic candidates when he
declined to discuss Wisconsin’s Re
publican senators, Alexander Wi
ley and Joseph McCarthy.
Wiley is seeking reelection and
McCarthy has made frequent
charges of Communist influences
in Washington.
“I do not believe it is ethical
for the vice president to come into
a state and attack office holders,”
Barkley said.
“I am presenting the permanent,
positive and progressive program
of the Democratic party. I believe
in letting people decide oh the
record.”
He predicted continued Dfemo-
cratic party control of both houses
of Congress after the Nov. 7 elec
tions.

ed into a pulp of biood and flesh
by thundering marine tanks.
There was the cold night when
shivering marines climbed into the
steel belly of amphibious tractors
for the Han River crossing at the
opening of the siege of Seoul . . .
and the sergeant who cuddled a box
in his arms as the marines went
into battle—a box in which little
white rabbits slept peacefully.
There was the suspense of wait
ing for the steel door of the arntrac
to open . . . and the chilling screams
of the marine who was hit by an
enemy bullet in the groin as he
leaped from the door.
There was a swift advance over
the ridges towards Seoul . . . then
the bitter fighting on'the outskirts
of the city and the scene of the
marines machinegun chattering
from a ridge pumping bullets into
the town ahead ... we could see
the Red tracers lancing into the
buildings and the white clad fig
ures running . . . and then someone
shouted, “stop firing for Cod’s
sake! Those are women and chil
dren” . . .
But the enemy was there too,
because the marines had to fight
through the women.
And then th£re were the streets
of Seoul. . . Flames leaped through
the building and silhouetted the
marines dashing through the
streets in house to house fighting.
. . . Incongruously, a marine dashed
by with two live ducks strapped
to his battle pack.
And then the war ended suddenly
in Seoul and there were people
flocking through the battered
streets and the city was quiet once
more. The fires had died down.
It’s all there in the notebook—
in broken phrases and words writ
ten to cal back a certain scene,
and to me that notebook always
will be the victory of victories.
