Loses Some-
Off His Head
Excitement flourished in the
meats laboratory Friday after
noon when an electric fan used
butcherboy tactics on the head
of John G. Moffitt, instructor of
Animal Husbandry.
J. D. Carrol, who rushed Mof-
fit to the campus hospital, de
clared “blood was literally
streaming from his head in
every direction.” Fortunately,
Moffit was not seriously injur- I
ed. The only visible results of
the accident were three stitches
taken in the gash and a broken
fan.
Moffitt was standing on a
step ladder drilling a hole in
the wall for the installation of
a communications system when
the accident occurred. He said
that he hadn’t realized what had
happened until Carrol grabbed
him to carry him to the hospital.
He returned to work later in
th6 afternoon.

Trygve Lie Believes Russia
Cease-Fire Move Is Sincere
United Nations, June 27—OP)—
Trygve Lie said yesterday he
thinks the latest Russian peace
move is sincere and must be taken
seriously. The State Department
showed its skepticism, but said
withdrawal of Communist forces
behind the 38th Parallel could mean
the war is won.
Lie, Secretary-General of the
United Nations, was flying here
from Norway. Before leaving
London, he said he was hopeful
but it would be a week or two
before final judgment could be
passed on Jacob Malik’s proposal
for the belligerents to discuss a
cease-fire and mutual withdrawal
from the 38th.
U. S. Skepticism Evident
U. S. skepticism was evident in
Tokyo. A State Department com
mentary distributed at Gen. Ridg-
way’s headquarters questioned
whether the Malik proposal Satur
day was not merely a Russian po
litical move with the possible aim
of improving the military situation
of the North Koreans and Chinese
Communists.
“There is always the danger of
a counter attack and the breaking
of an armistice,” the memorandum
said.
The State Department in Wash
ington described this as only an
informative message to U. S. rep
resentatives abroad, and not nec
essarily thq U. S. official position.
Secretary of State Acheson was
asked in Washington if withdrawal
of Communist forces behind the
38th could be considered a success
ful end to the Korean fighting,
originally aimed at unifying Korea.
“Yes sir,” Acheson responded.
“I would say we would have had a
successful end to the conflict.”
In U. N. quarters the tendency
was to go slow. Delegates wanted
to iron out disputed matters in
private talks before calling the
general assembly back into session.
Iran’s Nasrollan Entezam, assem
bly president, held in abeyance his
Langford Elected
ASAE Vice-Prexy
Bob Langford, senior agricultur
al engineering major, was elected
vice-president of the National Stu
dent council of the American Soc
iety of Agricultural Engineers
in Houston last week.
A graduate of Waco High School
Langford will be the next presi
dent of the A&M collegiate ASAE.
His election was announced at the
annual ASAE Barbecue, May 22.
plans to talk with Malik, reported
ill with heart trouble.
Malik Not At Assembly
Malik did not attend an assembly
session today.
President Galo Plaza Lasso of
Ecuador, a visitor to the United
States, said:
“It is our duty to follow along
those paths in the hope that we
shall attain the consummation of
ail we seek—to put an end to the
war in Korea and establish there
a just and lasting peace.”
British officials conferred with
Lie in London and let it be known
Britain was starting talks at Wash
ington with other governments
having forces in Korea. Some sort
of joint approach to Russia and
China, to see exactly what they
have in mind, seemed in the mak
ing.
Malik listed no conditions Sun
day for the cease-fire talks he sug
gested. But Communist China, in
comment broadcast Monday, show
ed it has in mind the conditions
that barred previous U. N. efforts
to bring peace—the questions of
seating Red China in the U. N., in
place of the Chiang Kai-Shek gov
ernment, and of Red China’s desire
to take over Formosa.

Mistakes Inevita ble
(Continued from Page 2)
This does not mean that the per
fect niche is found for every man.
For two reasons—
© In so large an organization,
with so many thousands of trainees
coming and going, mistakes are in
evitable.
• It is no longer the practice
to take the most intelligent men,
the most capable, and transfer
them out of the infantry into spec
ial units. Today, the infantry is
getting its fair share of the brains.
Hence the tests and interviews.
These demonstrate what the
regular Army has been saying,
that the present group of train
ees are “the cream of the crop.”
I spot-checked nearly 50 files,
picking them at random. They
showed:
Nearly two-thirds scoring over
“100” in aptitude and ability
which the Army considers aver
age.
Over half were high school
graduates and about one-fifth col
lege graduates.
Army officers said that might be
unusual, but even so, they know the
general level is higher today.
In the next two days, the draft
ees got “shots” and a vaccination,
went through medical inspection,
saw some training films, did some
“K. P.” and other detail.
Meanwhile, some emotional
changes were taking place. Most
of them paired off with a “buddy,”
a guy who took the place of the
friends at home a fellow who was
going through the same things and
confronting the same problems.
There was less loneliness by that
time.
At the same time, life had nar
rowed down to a fairly small
focus of work and learning. A
man was too busy to wonder
about the future, and worry.
“They get resigned to it,” an
officer said. “They know they’re
in, and they make the best of it.
That’s a healthy attitude.”
One of the new draftees, Private
Joseph Moore of Paterson, N. J.,
agreed in different words:
“It’s tough in the beginning, but
you get used to things. You have
to do it, I guess.
“At first, you think about a
lot of things. Then you start
kicking about details. There’s a
chance to learn something, and
in some ways, it’s kind of fun.
Of course, I’d rather be on the
outside.”
He said most of the men would
like to be out, but since that can’t
be—“Well, some of the fellows
say you might as well get as much
Numl
out of it as you can, and I guess
that’s right.”

Picture Story of the U.S.A. on the occasion of its
175th Anniversary
spi
Spirit of ’76—It took time and a war to tell
if our fledgling independence, launched so
bravely in 1776, would survive. Destiny
knocked—and a baby United States answered
the call and the challenge with victory.
“One Nation Indivisible”—Destiny knocked
loudly in 1861-65, and the question, “Can any
nation, so conceived and so dedicated, long
endure?” was answered after four hard, tragic
years. The free, new nation was again united!
“Over There! Over 7/iere/”—When the next
knock of Destiny came, it was in the cause of
helping other freedom-loving peoples stay free.
For the first time in American history aii
American Expeditionary Force went to Europe!

December 7, 1941—and Destiny’s loudest
knock to date: Could a free America stand up
against a Nazidom and a fanatic Japan? We
could and we did—but it took a hard-slugging,
hard-working united United States to do it!
Freedom’s last frontier—Destiny is knocking at the door today. Knocking loudly with a hamm
and a sickle. It is the challenge of imperialistic communism against our Free way of livine T*
1776, we met the challenge of greater numbers and won-our freedom. In 1865 we kept our fre d H
from splitting itself in twain. In 1918 we beat imperialistic might, for freedom’s sake In 1945 ° m
two sides of the world, freedom was victorious over totalitarianism. What now? ’ ° n
What next? What do we do? What’s the job?
Some are fighting—on land, in air, on sea. Some are building the stuff those fighters
use. All of us should take a new look at the times, the country and ourselves.
What this country needs most, even over and beyond its defense might, is a Freedom
offense. That starts in your own back yard. It means voting thoughtfully for good
moral leaders. It means fighting the inflation that saps our economic (and defense
building) strength. It means getting in on Civil Defense units. They all pulled on the
oars when Washington crossed the Delaware. Let’s all pull on the oars now!
The Declaration
°f Independence was signed at
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, in 1776. Here will
gather the Delegates of Freedom on July 1, 2, 3 and 4
1 hey will come from all over America and from free
dom loving countries.
Thisistheyear of re-dedication throughout America
Take a new look at Freedom, think how it works for
you in your community, and help it along today as
it has helped you in the past.
Now—Freedom needs YOU!
