The program held in the YMCA Chapel was only one of the many similar celebrations held all over the world in honor of the “fifth birthday” of the World Govern ment. G'. L. Ai'tecona, graduate student from Paraguay, spoke on “Pan Americanism.” He related the United States part in working with the other Americas and Compared the present foreign policy with that of 25 years ago. US Influential The former member of the Para- guanian Legislature, explained the United States influence in provid ing technical aid in building up railroads, highways, and factories in the Latin American countries. He also related the Americas to the United Nations. The Americas were build up, with the aid of all nationalities—Indians, Caucasians, Africans. This was the basis of the understanding of the United Nations. . P. V. Popat, graduate student from India, gave a brief history of Ghandi’s influence on India and the Far East.

Groudwork laid by the Good Indo-Chinese Ask Assistance In Red Battle £aigon, Vietnam, Indo-Chi- na, Oct. 25—(AP)—A bid for . United Nations intervention in embattled Indo-China came yesterday from North Viet nam’s governor, Nguyen Huu Tri. Considered one of the top ad ministrators in the French-spon sored Bao Dai government of Viet nam, Governor Tri declared in an interview in Hanoi, his capital: “The Indo-Chinese problem can not be solved by military action alone. We must have a political solution. The people have always expected the intervention of the United Nations. Sooner or later it must come. We hope the U. N. will interfere energetically. This situation is disastrous for both the French and the Vietnamese people.” The Communist-led Nationalist forces of Ho Chi Minh, who have won coutrol of the frontier zone bordering Communist China by forcing French troops from a half dozen posts, now have detachments within artillery range of Hanoi. More than 300,000 leaflets ask ing the Vietnamese people to join Americans in the fight for “peace through prosperity and not misery through terror” were dropped to day by Bao Dai’s personal two-en gined plane on Vietnam’s three major cities—Saigon, Hanoi, and Hue. Other thousands were loosed elsewhere as part of a celebra tion of United Nations Day. U. N. Flags bedecked Saigon. The leaflets, asking popular backing for the Ameriqan aid program for Indo-China, were sup plied by the Saigon information of fice of the United States Econo mic Cooperation Administration (EGA). French warplanes concentrated on destroying supplies at Langson that French troops were unable to demolish before they abandoned that headquarters frontier city to the Vietnam last Wednesday.

The blue flag of the UN was j presented earlier in the week to | 1VI. T. Harrington, president of the ! college, by members of the Brazos County Home Demonstration Asso ciation. Mrs. R. W. Caldwell, Brazos County Chairman of the council made the presentation. In making the presentation Mrs. Caldwell said it was one of the 3000 such presentations being made in the United States—each with the hopes that the flag will bring closer home and emphasize the meaning of world cooperation. President Harrington said, “we believe that the United Nations is the greatest single instrument of peace in the world. Men of three nations are fighting and dying in Korea under this very blue and white flag in defense of all man kind.” Elsewhere in the World Elsewhere in the world UN Day was celebrated in a different man ner. In Moscow the newspapers told Russian people the UN had the choice of going either down the “Path of Peace” pointed out by the Soviet Union or the “Path of the Aggressors,” meaning the United States and the other western pow ers. President Truman in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New i York, said war fears could be dis pelled if all nations agreed to a foolproof disarmament program. He proposed the UN combine its tglks abopt Atomic Control and conventional arms, a step that Rus sia fought, for four years. So viet Minister Andrei Vishinsky did not applaud during the speech and withheld comment later. In Europe the Freedom Bell, a 10-ton bronze symbol, created for Comunist surrounded West Berlin by US Public subscription, was dedicated by Gen.

Aggies Arrested For Car Painting Waco, Tex., Oct. 25—(A 1 )—Some Aggies said some Aggies stole Barney and Bailey from the Baylor campus.

They said six members of the Aggie Band came to Waco last week and took the twin bear cubs -mascots of the Baylor football team—from the bear pit on the Baylor campus. Bailey Returns Bailey came back about four hours after his capture. But Barney wasn’t found until somebody called a Baylor office and said he was tied to a telephone pole on the old Twelfth Street Road in Waco. He was.

Local officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—who made the complaint—accepted the reply “with gratitude for its fine spirit.” The NAACP officials complained that several Negro volunteers for service in the Army and Air Force were served in the kitchen of a Dallas cafe, while white volunteers were fed in the dining room. The army—in a letter from Col. A. L. Fulton, regional recruiting chief—replied that the men were not at the time actually paid of the service; that since they had not been sworn in, they were still civ- The colonel invited NAACP mem bers to visit its facilities for ser vicemen at Love Field, and said no racial discrimination is prac ticed there. U. Simpson Tate, regional NAACP counsel, said he would re port the whole matter to his national headquarters, and any other action would come from there.

Their statement read: “We did take the bear cub from Baylor, but it was intended strictly as a joke. We had no in tention or desire to harm the bear of to deface the campus of Baylor or to destroy any prop erty whatsoever, and to the best of our knowledge and belief we did not harm the bear or deface any property. We returned the bear safe and unmarked, and we repeat that it was meant as a joke and in fun, and we re gret any hard feelings that may come from it. We hope the stu dent body of Baylor will go along with us without any hard feel ing/and consider it in the light that it was meant. We took good care of the little cub while we had him, and that’si more than we can say for the bear in regard to us. “We sincerely hope the stu dents of Baylor will know that they are welcome on our campus and that there was no malice whatever in bringing the bear to our campus for a visit. Cer tainly there was no spirit of re taliation as the result of a couple of Aggies having fared badly on the Baylor Campus just previous to our taking the bear. As a mat ter of fact, we did not know about this affair until later, and we had planned getting the bear sometime before that. “The above statement is true and correct to the best of our knowledge:” • Texas A&M plays Baylor Sat urday in Waco. And it’s Baylor homecoming., too. These seven Aggies police picked up today—they were caught paint ing a sign in lampblack in the middle of a downtown Waco street. All they had painted was “beat” when a police car and a load of Baylor students found them. Offer to Pay Fine The Baylor students offered to pay the Aggies’ fines and be re sponsible for their custody, but police were suspicious of the of fer and decided huh-uh. The Aggies stayed in the city jail until morning when City Judge Wayne Lee released them with a warning that they would have to pay if two cars found painted up were damaged. The cars, parked on a street, had been decorated with “Beat the hell out of Baylor” in shoe polish. Police got the tip on the Aggies being in town when an all-night grocery called them and said a bunch of students had just bought a lot of shoe polish. Cub Too Rough The Aggies said that the cub- nappers stole the cubs in burlap sacks, but Bailey escaped. They took Barney to College Station, they said, but found he was too rough and ate too much, so they brought him back. Let’s all be calm and not take any reprisals, President W. R. White of Baylor, urged his stu dents, “I admonish all Baylor stu dents to keep their spirit on a high plane and then display it on the football field Saturday.” Berlin Festivities Fund Berlin —UP)— The city fathers of Buehl, in southwest Germany, recently met in secret session to approve an expenditure of 10 marks ($2.38) for improving the curves of the Buehl “Plum Queen” for 1950.

Visit for Info, Sheriff Says El Paso, Tex., Oct. 25—kT)—The El Paso Herald-Post said yester day that border town residents registered no apparent reaction to Sheriff Joe Campbell’s week-end visit in Los Angeles with gambler Mickey Cohen. “If more sheriffs would mingle with gamblers, they would find out more about gamblers’ activities,” Campbell said.

The sheriff and Mrs. Campbell went night clubbing with Cohen and his wife and had the use of Cohen’s automobile and chauffer. A reporter asked whether Camp bell thought the Cohen episode might hurt him politically. “I’m not now and never have been interested in politics,” he said. His term as sheriff expires Jan. 1 and Campbell said he will not ask re-election. Texas peace officers hustled Cohen out of several cities during a recent trip by the little gamb ler to this state. Cohen later told Los Angeles newsmen that Campbell “was the only guy who treated me decent in the whole state of Texas.” Art Exhibits Open In MSC Lobby Now on display in the Memorial Student Center are the paintings by Edwin M.
