Mac Blasts US Policy
In Texas Speech Tour
Houston, June 14 — (TP) — Gen. Douglas
MacArthur brought his anti-administration
stand to the South’s largest city yesterday
after drawing a record crowd at a Houston
welcome parade.
His speech last night (8 p.m. CST) in a
70,000 seat football stadium gave the de
posed Far Eastern commander an opportun
ity to develop these arguments he voiced on
< arriving in Texas yesterday:
• U.S. policy makers are guilty of ap-
i; peasement in Korea—appeasement that could
lead to war with Russia.
( • The administration is guilty of “moral
weakness” in talking of a peace settlement.
MacArthur made his appease-
I ment accusation from the steps of !
I Ate State Capital in Austin. About
.^000 Texans listened as the 71-
'Vear-old general declared Amer-
!•: ica’s first line of defense is on the
Yalu river at the Manchurian bor
der and not the Elbe River in Eu
rope.
“The policies of appeasement on
which we are now embarked carry
: within themselves the very incita-
v tion to a war against us,” he said.
“If the Soviet does strike, it will
be because of the weakness we
now display rather than the
strength we of right should dis-
play.”
He blamed the moral weakness
; of the free world”—not Soviet mil-
( ; itary strength — for Russian ad-
I vances.

“Weakness Causes”
is a weakness which
has
“It is a
caused many free nations to suc
cumb to and embrace the false
tenets of Communist propoganda.
It is a weakness which has caused
our own policy makers, after com
mitting America’s sons to battle,
to leave them to the continuous
slaughter of an indecisive cam
paign by imposing arbitrary res
traints upon the support we might
otherwise provide them through
maximum employment of our sci
entific superiority, which alone of
fers hopes of an early victory.
“It is a weakness which now
causes those in authority to strong
ly hint at a, settlement of the Ko
rean conflict under conditions short
of the objectives our soldiers were
led to believe were theirs to attain
and for which so many yielded
their lives.”
Crowd Three Deep
The crowd which stood three and
four-deep along Houston’s main
street to see the Pacific war hero
was patient and orderly. Confetti
and torn paper billowed from many
skyscraper windows. Many waved
at the General, some cheered. A
few spectators waved confederate
flags.
But solemn faces predominated.
They brightened when the Amer
ican Legion band swung into “Old

Dean Presents
Poultry Course
Certificates
Forty-one of the 44 persons
who attended the 14th annual
poultry short course at A&M
last week have been awarded
^ certificates o f completion
1 by Dean C. N. Shepardson of the
{School of Agriculture,
j E. D. Parnell, poultry husbandry
professor, was in charge of the
v course, which was designed primar
ily for agents who do flock select
ing and pullorum testing for Texas
hatcheries.
A staff of 15 speakers, mainly
members of the poultry husbandry
staff, conducted the course. T. A.
Hensarling, executive secretary of
the Texas Poulty Improvement As
sociation, and Roy McDonald, Dal
las hatcheryman were guest speak
ers.
Dr. John Delaplane, head of the
Veterinary Bacteriology and Hy
giene Department, spoke on res
piratory diseases of poultry, and
Dr. L. C. Grumbles of the same
department discussed pullorum,
typhoir and coccidiosis.
A feature of the short course
was a special broiler day, during
which McDonald led a discussion
on producing quality broiler chicks,
stressing the need for key hatch
ery supply flocks that are pullorum
clean and which will produce fast
growing, rapid-feathering birds
with light colored plumage.
A similar training course of
turkey selecting agents is planned
for the second week in September
at A&M.

Houston, June 14 — (TP) — This City
gave General MacArthur the biggest wel
come in its history last night.
The big crowd lined along a 23-block
downtown parade route was restrained.
There were few of the tumultuous cheers
which marked the Pacific war hero’s eastern
appearances.
Police Chief L. D. Morrison estimated
half a million people watched as the 71-year-
old general waved from an open convertible.
The General’s plane touched Houston’s
Municipal Airport at 5:49 p.m. (CST), three
hours after he addressed the Texas Legisla
ture at Austin.
The crowd began gathering on
the parade route hours before par
ade time. As the General’s party,
with American Legion and high
school bands, moved along, he
waved, sometimes lifting his fa
mous sweat-stained hat.
Torn up newspapers billowed
from downtown buildings. Confet
ti looked like a light snow on the
heads of parade watchers.
Cheers swelled up twice—when
the American Legion broke into
“Old Soldiers Never Die” and
again into “The Eyes of Texas Are
Upon You.” The latter won more
applause.
But there was a solemn, thought
ful air about the crowd, as they
saw the man embroiled in bitter
dispute with the administration.
Attendance 44,000
Mayor Oscar Holcombe, who sat
next to MacArthur in the lead car,
estimated the crowd at around
440,000.
Also riding with the General in
the first car were Maj. Gen. Court
ney Whitney, the General’s spokes
man; Glenn McCarthy, Houston
oilman and H. R. Cullen, Houston
oilman and philanthropist.
In the next car were Mrs. Mac
Arthur and son Arthur. They, too,
waved back when the crowd cheer
ed.
As the General stepped from his
four engine plane he first almost
passed by veterans of the Rainbow
Division of World War I drawn
up to receive him. Halfway down
their line he said suddenly:
“Oh, wait a minute.” He then
turned and shook hands with each
of the men he lead in Europe in
the first great war. Over the
heads of the crowds came snatches
. . . “It’s been a long time—yes,
more than 30 years ... it was
long ago.”

On Field Trip
To Mexico
Three graduate students of
the Department of Wildlife
Management, Robert J. Rus
sell, John E. Woods, and Paul
Parmalle, are on a field trip
to Morelos, Mexico, to study the
mammals of that state.
The purpose of this trip is to
complete previous studies made in
1949-50 of the mammals of More
los and to try to map the ecologic
types in the state according to Dr.
W. B. Davis head of the Wildlife
Department. This survey is being
made by the Department of Wild
life Management in cooperation
with the Direction Forestal y de
Caza of Mexico.
Russell and his associates plan
to camp at a new location each
night. By doing this they hope to
cover as much of the state as
possible.
Wildlife undergraduate students
have participated in this survey by
collecting specimens in Morelos on
the summer wildlife field trips
made there during the summers of
1949-50.
Russell, Woods, and Parmallee
left on June 2 and plan to return
to College Station, June 18.

Karow’s Buckeyes
Next Farmer Foe
By ANDY ANDERSON
Battalion Sports Editor
It will be former A&M baseball coach Marty Karow’s
Ohio State Buckeye’s against the Texas Aggies in the second
game of this afternoons double-header as the Aggies were
beaten last night in the last game of the evening double-
header 5-1 by Springfield (Mass.) College.
It was too much Nordberg as the Aggies were limited to
three hits, two by Yale Lary and the other by Joe Ecrette,
in the contest.
The Cadets tallied their only score in the third inning
as Wallace walked and was pushed around by another walk,
a fielders choice, an error and was driven home on Lary’s
first hit of the game—a single and the first for the Aggies.
In the eighth inning, with one out, Ecrette and Lary
singled, but the Farmers failed to score as A1 Ogletree
bounced into a double-play.

The short course, being held at
the Memorial Student Center, lasts
through Thursday, June 14.
The Fellowship Program, operat
ing under a fund of $2,280,000, was
instituted this year for the ex
press purpose of increasing the
teaching skill of younger college
instructors while reducing the
shock of mobilization to college
and university faculties.
A&M has an assigned quota of'
five of the 500 fellowships that
may be awarded for the 1951-52
academic year.
Clarence H. Faust, president of
the Fund for the Advancement of
Education lists two principal ob
jectives of the program:
• “To make constructive use of
the present emergency period by
enabling a large number of young
er teachers to increase their com
petence in undergraduate instruc
tion.
• ”To assist colleges in keeping
a substantial number of promising
young teachers who might other
wise be lost to academic life be
cause of the potential curtailment
of college operations by mobiliza
tion.”
Directed by Presidents and Deans
The nation-wide program is di
rected by a committee of adminis
tration of 16 colleges and uni
versity presidents and deans.
Fellowship awards will approx
imately equal the recipient’s pre
sent earning level, plus trayel and
tuition allowances where these are
necessary to the plan proposed by
the applicant. Student applications,
by those graduating this academic
year, were also submitted to the
committee.
The Boai - d of the Fund has de
scribed its general intent in the
following way:
Slayton, Arnold
Teach Education
Two out of town instructors are
teaching education this summer,
according to G. B. Wilcox, head of
the education and psychology de
partment.
R. E. Slayton, superintendent of
Alice public schools, is teaching
education 426 and 610. Education
426 deals with tests and measure
ments. Education 610 is the study
of pupil accounting.
R. W. Arnold vice-principal of
Thomas Jefferson Senior High
School, San Antonio, is teaching
education 321, secondary school
methods, and education 607, the
study ef programs and procedures
in supervision.
“Each applicant will submit a
plan for increasing his effective
ness in undergraduate instruction.
Plans may differ from field to
field and individual to individual.
Individual Plans
“They may involve the explora
tion of fields of study related to
the instructor’s major field; re
search investigations relating to
instructional problems; the analy
sis of secondary school problems
as they relate to collegiate instruc
tion ; or internship under appro
priate supervision in promising
programs of undergraduate educa
tion.’
The program is not intended
simply to provide for doctorate
study or research investigation at
the post-doctoral level. And each
applicant’s application is accom
panied by a commitment by the
dea,n or president of his institution
to employ him for the 1952-53
academic year.”

Ray to Represent
A&M at ‘Y’ Meet
C. L. Ray, President of the A&M
YMCA Cabinet, was acting co-
chairman of the recent regional
YMCA conference at Camp Par-
thenia, Okla.
Ray was elected to the National
Council of the YMCA Students
that will meet at Eastham Col
lege Ind. He will be the first re
presentative from A&M to attend
a National YMCA Council.
The meeting will be held from
August 20 through September 1,
1951.
Nordberg weakened in the ninth,
when after fanning the first two
men to face him, Hank Candelari
and John DeWitt, he issued free
tickets to Hollis Baker and Bill
Munnerlyn but got pitcher Pat
Hubert on strikes to end the game.
Springfield opened up with three
runs on two hits, including a
triple by Sherman Kinney, Spring-
field left fielder. Kinney stole home
for‘one of the runs.
Springfield Adds Two
The Maroons of Springfield add
ed two more in the inning on a
walk an infield hit and another
stolen base, this one by Bill Peat
field, who had singled.
Springfield added an insurance
run in the sixth when Ed Redmond,
the District 1 representative’s first
sacker got on via a two-hgse error.
He advanced to third on another
error and then stole home.
They added their final run in the
eighth when Redmond singled, ad
vanced on Peatfield’s infield out
and scored on Tom Simos’ single.
Nordberg shut the door in the
Aggies’ face after the third as far
as the run-scoring was concemed.
It was three up and three down in
the fourth. In the fifth, Hubert
walked with one out, but Guy
Wallace and Ecrette failed to come
through.
It was another fourth inning in
the sixth as three men faced the
Maroon pitcher and three men
promptly went back to the dugout
without threatening.
Nordberg — Stingy
Nordberg was stingy again in
the seventh as he faced only four
men. The extra man was issued a
walk but died on first as the in
ning was finished.
According to the Associated
Press, Hubert might have won his
start. He walked only three and
struck out seven men in giving up
five hits. Weak hitting and poor
fielding—four errors—hurt the Ag
gie mainstays chances of notching
his initial start in the NCAA tour
ney.
The tournament drew a total of
17,085 fans last year. The two
double-headers yesterday drew 5,-

Allies Chase Reds Deep Into
Bomb-Ruined Pyonggang Area
Tokyo, June 14 —(A*)— Giant
allied tanks loaded with riflemen
pursued Chinese Reds deep into
North Korea today after sweeping
over bomb-ruined Pyonggang in the
heart of the peninsula.
Communist troops were reported
withdrawing along most of the
front.
Chinese were seen fleeing north
ward in groups of 500 or more
from their fallen “Iron Triangle.”
Front dispatches said they were
making a mass withdrawal from
the central front.
They poured out of the Chokkun
mountains southeast of the triangle
and through the hills east to the
Sea of Japan under cover of de
laying actions.
Small Red Bands
Only small Red bands fired at
allied patrols probing for miles
beyond the U. N. lines west of the
triangle.
Two United Nations tank col
umns completed the wipeout of the
triangle Wednesday. They rumbled
into deserted Pyonggang at its
northern apex and combed the area
to the north. They withdrew Wed
nesday night.
They met little opposition any
where along their sweeps from
Chorwon and Kumhwa up the val
ley roads which form the sides of
the triangle.
More than 100 tanks were in the
column.
Infantrymen clung to the sides
of the tanks as they lumbered awk
wardly into Pyonggang, 28 miles
north of the 38th parallel.
No Buildings Left
Not a building was left standing
in the once bustling road junction.
Infantrymen searched it for Chi
nese.
Then the tank patrols swept out
over the flatlands to the north,
under cover of self-propelled ar
tillery.
Only opposition was from a few
pockets of Chinese south of Pyong
gang. They were wiped out.
U. S. officers said they were
amazed at the complete Chinese
withdrawal.
Intelligence observers said there
were few indications the Chinese
planned to make a stand anywhere
in the triangle from which they
mounted two great spring offen
sives against the United Nations.
AP Correspondent Jim Becker,
who watched the tank columns
from the air, said “they turned
the vaunted Iron Triangle into a
United Nations village square.”
U. N. officers hinted the main
line would move up cautiously. W T e
must be in firm position when the
rains hit hard,” they said. June is
a wet month in Korea. July is wet
ter, turning roads into quagmires.
The Reds appeared to be with
drawing to Kumsong in the east
and behind the Imjin River on the
west.
Kumsong is a road junction on
highways leading from the tri
angle to Wonsan on the east coast.
Wonsan is 50 miles north of Pyong
gang, at the head of fertile Pyong
gang Valley. Kumsong guards re
maining tortuous escape routes for
North Koreans in the east.
The Imjin River runs along the
western flank of the U. N. advance.
Roads west of the Imjin are still
open to the Reds.
The Communists still have ac
cess to two highways running from
Pyongyang, the Red capital 95
miles northwest of Pyonggang to
points below the allied advance.
They may try a counter-offensive
in the future from this sector, hit
ting the U. N. west flank.
