UN Troops Feel Out Reds
In Cautious Rattle Advances
Tokyo, May 7—UB—United Na
tions troops advanced both anchors
of their Korean battle line today
in cautious, limited attacks.
The allies expanded their bridge
head north of the 38th Parallel
.around Inje in the East.
South Koreans advanced the
Western anchor northwest of Seoul
with a limited attack.
* Intelligence officers who report
ed this offered no interpretation of
a statement reportedly from the.
Reds which said, “The war is
about over.” Presumably the Red
officer meant the war had again
reached a stalemate; that neither
side could win and therefore neith
er would open an all-out offensive.
Intelligence reports said the same
officer reported allied warplanes
blocked Red efforts to get tanks
from Manchuria to support the now
halted; Communist Spring offen
sive.

Cairo, May 7—(TP)—Precious gifts poured into Cairo’s
Abdin Palace today following the gala marriage at which
King Farouk yesterday made beautiful 17-year-old Narriman
Sadek his queen wife.
As the Nile kingdom continued its jubilant rejoicing at
the nuptials with a public holiday today, Farouk and his com

A gala diplomatic reception tomorrow night will wind up the
festivities.
The chiefs of foreign diplomatic missions arrived at the
palace at mid-morning today, bringing gifts from their heads

Washington, May 7—LT)—Secretary of

case against Gen. Douglas MacArthur today

lines—over a momentous foreign policy dis
pute.
MacArthur wound up late Saturday three
days of gruelling questioning by senators in

Kiwanis Children’s
Clinic Opens Today
The King and Queen of Cotton look out on their
4,000 subjects at the pageant Friday night. Seem
ing to ignore the King, Ray Kunze, and Queen
Wanda Harris, are the Crown Bearers, David
Segrest and Peggy Jane Breazeale.
By ALLEN PENG ELLY
Battalion Assistant City Editor
The sixth annual Kiwanis Crip
pled Children’s Clinic began today
in the college hospital.
This clinic each year brings spec
ialists to College Station to exam
ine and diagnose all children of the
area who are disabled or otherwise
suffering from maladies which
could be corrected if examined by
competent physicians.
Although no actual therapeutic
work is done at this clinic, the chil
dren are examined and the parents
are told what kind of care will help
their children.
Crippled Girl Helped
“Four years ago, a little girl was
carried into the clinic for examina
tion. The following year, she hob
bled in crutches and last year, the
young lady walked into the clinic
for a final examination,” recalled
Dr. Dan Russell, chairman of the
clinic.
Hospitalization will be provided
after examination if parents are
unable to finance treatment at
their own hospital. Such cases are
referred to the Shriner’s by the
Kiwanis.
202 Receive Aid
The clinic was begun in 1945 by
the local Kiwanis group with 100
children applying for treatment.
Last year, because of the publicity
this aid had received, 202 children
were diagnosed.
The child’s deformity does not
have to be of a major type to profit
from the clinic. Deformities of the
bone muscle, tendon, or skin, will be
examined free by the specialists._
Organizations which support ‘the
clinic by giving time include the
Bi-County Medical Society, State
Health Department, Women’s Aux
iliary of the Medical Society, Mis
sionary Society, Brazos County
Health Unit, and the Campus Study
Club.
Fit For a King
Splendor Marks Cotton Court
King Cotton XVII counted his
court Friday night. And the num
ber was large and splendid.
By his side sat his lovely, smil
ing queen who helped him receive
the bows and curtsies of 400 ele
gant courtiers. An estimated 4,000
subjects watched the royal pro
ceedings.
Pres. M. T. Harrington began the
proceedings by placing the golden
crown of the Cotton Kingdom on
the head of Ray Kunze, senior
agronomy major from Giddings.
Then King Ray received eight
lovely duchesses of the Southwest
Conference.
With this much of her court in
attendance, Queen Wanda ap
proached the throne. And there, be
neath 75 giant candles, honoring
A&M’s Seventy-Fifty Anniversary,
she kneeled to receive her crown
from the King.
TSCW freshman Wanda Har
ris of San Antonio rose as Queen
of the Seventeenth Annual Cot
ton Pageant and Style Show.
The regal pair seated themselves
in the white, glistening double
thrones backed by green drapes,
drawn apart to show a giant stalk
of cotton. Above this glistened
the silver* numerals “75.”
Flanking the throne on either
side were double, white pillars,
marbled in green and each topped
by a single letter—“A”, on the left,
“M” on the right.
More dukes and duchesses
passed before the throne, then
the appointed time for entertain
ment arrived. Court Jesters Har
old Turner and Bud Matthews
cavorted about before settling
down to hear songs by contralto
soloist Alice Gene Butler.
The brawn of the kingdom came
forth next in the form of a talent
ed handbalance team of Skeet
Cameron and Bobby Moore.
Adding a final and enjoyable
touch of the evening entertainment
were Jeanne Terrill and Gene!
Pflug, a dancing duo who followed
a rousing tap demonstration with
a “Darktown Strutter’s Ball” rou
tine that brought plenty of ap
proval, royal and otherwise.
Fashion stole the spotlight for
the rest of the night as Mrs. Jes
sie Southworth of Sanger Brothers
in Dallas mounted the platform to
announce a display of latest cot
ton wear.
Modeling the dresses, swim
suits, play-suits, dusters, even
ing gowns, frocks and swim
suits were a bevy of glamorous
Tessies aided by a few duets
from the small-fry bracket.
Following the pageant and style
show came the Cotton Ball with
Bill Turner and the Aggieland
Orchestra furnishing the music in
the Grove.
Mrs. Bill Turner directed the
Pageant and Eli L. Whiteley, of the
Agronomy Department was gen
eral chairman of the night’s ac
tivities.
Joe Woolkett, of the Modern
Languages Department was mas
ter of ceremonies and David
Haines was assistant announcer.
Crown bearers were David Segrest
and Peggy Jane Breazeale.
Jurgens Concert, Dance
Rated Tops by Slim Crowd
By DAVE COSLETT
Battalion Co-Editor
Dick Jurgens and his orchestra
has everything against them Sat
urday night—even the elements.
But the group—consistant tenants
of the bandstand in Chicago’s fam
ous Aragon Ball Room—neatly
proceeded to win top rating with
all those who heard.
Starting with an ill-attended
concert in Guion Hall, the husky
Jurgens dropped any pretense of
formality and dished up one mus
ical treat after another.
Ably assisting him were vocal
ist Ray McIntosh, who doubled
on the trumpet, rhythm tune
comic A1 Galente, also a violinist
of no little talent, pianist Fred
Ditto and also sax player Lou
Prisby.
The melody menu ranged fi’om
“Mississippi Mud” through “If,”
other current favoi’ites and a med
ley of old-timers that had the
sparce crowd listening di'eamily.
Enlisting local talent, Jurgens
& Co. hit the Latin American beat
for a concoction he called “Aggie
Rhumba.”
Also in the fun department
was the “Jurgen’s Glue Club”
rendition of “Symphony.”
Following the concert, the or
chestra moved to the Grove for an
all-college dance that drew a
larger attendance. Here again, a
warm personality and just plain
good music, won immediate ac
ceptance.
Menacing skies tried but failed
to loosen the hold that Jurgens
had on the crowd. Even a few
drops of rain discouraged but a
small portion of the dancers who
were getting the highlights of
the Guion Concert plus other
such notable numbers as “El
mer’s Tune,” “Star Dust,” and
“Rag-Time Cowboy Joe.”
The elements won, though, and
dancers scattered as rain hit in
earnest. General opinion seemed
to be that Jurgens would be more
than welcome to continue the inter
rupted appearance at any time.
Sanger Brothers of Dallas
sponsored the Style Show, which
was directed by Mrs. Margaret
Wedell, merchandising counciler
for that firm.
One of the many models who

Lewis, plastic surgeon.
Dr. William H. Ainsworth, ortho

Dr. Russell, Luther Jones, Harold
F. Heady, A. R. Orr, O. Byron

There are no restrictions in re
gard to race, creed, or color to be
eligible for the clinic’s services.
Bond Question
Passes at Poll
By 152 Votes
All three issues which ap
peared on Saturday’s School
Bond election were passed ac
cording to L. S. Richardson,
superintendent of the A&M
Consolidated School.
The issues voted upon were the
$150,000 school bond appropriation,
the assumption of all bonds pre
viously issued by the school dis
trict, and the approval of the $1.50
tax per $1,000 value of property
taxable for the schools.
The .voting was as follows: the
new school bonds, for-152, against-
6; the assumption of previous
bonds, for—152, against 3; the ap
proval of the $1.50 tax, for 152,
against—3.
The approval i of the issuance of
the bonds means that work may be
gin on the new buildings on the
campus of A&M Consolidated
School and also on the plant at
Lincoln School. A&M iConsolida-
ted will receive eight new class
rooms, a girls dressing room, and
a new cafeteria. Lincoln School
will receive a new shop building
and new science laboratory.
A meeting will be held tonight
at A&M Consolidated High School
to officially canvass the results of
the election. The group will also
swear in the two new members of
the school board. They are Henry
Allen, who replaces Ross Bond, and
E. E. Brown who was reelected to
another term of office.
The election of officers for the
coming year will be on the agenda.
All members of the school board
are iligible for the three offices
chairman, vice-chairman, and sec-
retary.
The members of the school board
are C. B. Godbey, C. A. Bonnen,
Dr. Chas. LaMotte, Ernest Redman,
Mit Williams, Allen and Brown.
secretary of defense—to give an official re
ply to MacArthur’s suggestion that danger
of a third world war lies in the government’s
present Pacific policy.
Reduced from its verbiage of 174,000
words of testimony and cross examination,
the deposed Pacific commander’s major stand
was this:
a. Red China can be brought to her knees
by supply and industrial bombing without
great danger of Russian entry into the war.
b. If there is no victory in Korea but only
■fthe “bloody stalemate” he says
must come from administration
plans for a “limited” war there,
the Soviets may be encouraged to
strike anywhete in the world.
When he fired MacArthur just
27 days ago, Mr. Truman in a
quick follow-up speech to the na
tion said the policies MacArthur
had openly advocated carried a
grave threat of touching off a new
global war.
Marshall faced hundreds of ques
tions—possibly thousands.
Like MacArthur, he was to tes
tify behind closed doors before the
Senate Armed Services and For
eign Relations, with Chairman
Russell (D-Ga) of the former
group presiding.
And like MacArthur’s testimony,
Marshall’s was to made public
piecemeal after being screened for
matter whose release military and
state department officials feel
might affect security.
Russell said the two committees
making an inquiry into MacAr
thur’s ouster and the nation’s dip
lomatic and military policies, prob
ably would not .seek testimony from
Mr. Truman himself. He said he
assumed Marshall, Secretary of
State Acheson, the joint chiefs of
staff and others would speak the
President’s case.
Russell said the committee shall
face almost certain close questions,
• MacArthur’s assertion that in
a war study prepared last Jan. 12
the joint chiefs of staff agreed
with the Korean war strategy he
has advocated and for which he
was fired. He said he assumes the
joint chiefs were vetoed by Mar
shall or Mr. Truman.
• MacArthur’s contention that
Marshall over-ruled the joint chiefs
recommendation that there peace
talks should not include (a) admis
sion of the Chinese Reds to the
United Nations and (b) The even-
that fate of Formosa, now held by
the Chinese Nationalists. He said
he opposed any discussion of those
questions in any possible peace
talks.
MacArthur argued that a stale
mate in Korea—or the “appease
ment” of which he expressed fear—•
would look to Soviet Russia like a
sign of Western weakness.
“The initiatory action of your
potential enemy is already under
way,” he said at one point. “I be
lieve if you don’t be it in Korea you
are doomed to destruction. I be
lieve it is already started, and if
you let it grow and increase by
the enemy, you will get engulfed.”
To bring the Communist aggres
sion in Korea to a halt, he plugged
again for his strategy: Air opera
tions over Manchuria, a blockade
of China and use of Chiang Kai
Shek’s Nationalist troops.
