Truce Talks To
Start Tuesday
Munsan, Korea, Oct. 22—UP)—Korean truce talks are
expected to resume tomorrow or Wednesday.
Liaison officers today completed an agreement for re
opening negotiations after a two-month break. The United
Nations command promptly ratified it.
If the Communists OK it today, armistice talks will re
open at 11 a.m. tomorrow (9 p.m. tonight EST).
Brig. Gen. William P. Nichols, spokesman for the U.N.
command, said if Red approval is received tomorrow morn
ing, delegations “may well agree on initiating the sessions to
morrow afternoon.”
The two five-man negotiating committees will meet in
a faded yellow tent at Panmunjom, midway between oppos
ing front lines. They will take up right where they left off
at Kaesong—on the questtion of where to create a demilitar
ized zone for the armistice. T h

Reds suspended the Kaesong talks
Aug. 23. They charged the Allies
bombed the Kaesong neutral zone
the day before but the Allies de
nied the charge.
U. N. and Communist liaison of
ficers completed their arrange
ments for renewal of negotiations
by signing an eight-point security
pact at 10:45 a.m. Monday.
Ratification Delivered
Three hours and 20 minutes lat
er the U.N. ratification was deliv
ered to the Reds at Panmunjom.
It called on the Communists to
renew truce talks “without further
delay.”
The U. N. ratification was sign
ed by Vice Adm. C. Tuimer Joy,
chief U.N. delegate. He told North
Korean Lt. G'en. Nam II, head of
the Red delegation, the Allied ne
gotiating team was prepared to
meet with the Communists the day
after the Red reply was received.
He set the hour for meeting at 11
a.m.
Joy’s purpose in ratifying the
security agreement before talks
actually begin, and asking for the
Red endorsement in advance, was
to prevent a possible reopening of
discussion of the “ground rules”
by the Communists.
Items Enumerated
Joy’s message enumerated the
items of the agreement signed by
liaison officers as well as the “mu
tual understanding” they reached
in 12 sessions at Panmunjom.
The eight-point agreement pro
vides for a demilitarized zone with
1,000 yard radius at Panmunjom,
attack-free areas with a three mile
radius for the Reds’ headquarters
at Kaesong and the U.N. truce
team at Munsan, and a quarter
mile corridor center of the road
linking Munsan, Panmunjom and
Kaesong.
It guarantees against hostile
acts against any of these zones.
Both delegations are provided free
access to the conference site with
the head of each delegation decid
ing the size and composition of his
own party.
Hostile Acts Dwindled
Hostile acts along the entire
front dwindled as possibility of ne
gotiating an end to the shooting
revived. The U.S. 8th Army’s
Monday evening communique re
ported only patrol action except
on the Central Front around Kum-
song. There, the communique said
Allied infantrymen “were advan
cing . . . against little enemy op
position.”
In preparation for renewed ne
gotiations, Reds removed the few
Korean families from the thatched
roofed huts in Panmunjom.

Central Front, Korea, Oct.
22 —(AP)— Machine guns
crackled on a towering peak
where allied infantrymen bat
tled Chinese at close range.
Hardly a mile forward lay Kum-
song, the Communist base.
In the valley below Allied tanks
fired their booming canons at the
Reds.
While Allied shells roared over
head a tiny bell tinkled in the
chaplain’s hand.
It was Sunday afternoon at the
front.
Robed in white, the chaplain
stood at his improvised altai’—
the hood of a jeep—as he conduct
ed mass.
Behind him GI’s knelt in the
grass along the banks of the Kum-
song River. Their helmets and
rifles lay close by their sides. For
a few moments they paused to
worship, then picked up their weap
ons and returned to the front.
Over a hill beyond the river four
young soldiers probed for mines
in a paddy. They jabbed the soft
dirt with the bayonets of their
rifles.
When one of them found a mine
he knelt cautiously, disarmed it
and then gently pulled it out of
the ground with a lonk wire.
“It sure gives you a funny feel
ing to tinker with these babies,”
explained Pvt. James B. Collins,
Akron, O.
Collins said he didn’t realize it
was Sunday afternoon.
“Gee, if I was home now I’d
probably be washing the dirty
dishes and loving every minute of
it,” he said with a broad smile.
A short distance away two
wounded soldiers were laid gently
on the rocky river bank. Medics
hovered over them and bandaged
their wounds. They were lifted
into a little jeep for the trip to
the rear.
As the sun sank below the high
hills, a medic lifted a bottle of
plasma and sent new blood flowing
into the veins of a wounded soldier
lying on a stretcher.
A half-dozen ragged Chinese
prisoners sat against a hillside
close by.
In the tall grass, an army blan
ket covered all but the boots of
another GI.
Death was here too, this Sunday
afternoon.
Student Senate Meets
The Student Senate will meet
at 7:15 tonight in a special ses
sion in the Social Room at the
MSC, announced Grady Smallwood,
senate president.
The president asked all mem
bers to be on hand for the im
portant meeting.
The A&M Cadet Corps as it looked from high
above Main Street in Fort Worth during the bi
annual “cowtown” Corps Trip parade Saturday
morning. Thousands of Fort Worth people as
well as Aggies’ dates and visiting football fans
saw the spectacle which included more than 4,500
uniformed A&M students. The parade preceded
the TCU-A&M football game at Amon Carter
Stadium Saturday afternoon.

Coach Ray George was officially initiated
into the Southwest Conference when the Ag-'
giesMell before the ambitious Horned Frogs,
20-14, last Saturday afternoon in Amon Car
ter Stadium.
Traditionally unpredictable, the S W C
more than lived up to itself by providing the
first “upset Saturday” of the 1951 season.
The largest crowd in the history of Fort
Worth, 34,794 turned out to see the TCU
boys come from behind with, only nine min

Blue Monday at A&M
Corps Trip Ends in Dismay
By JOEL AUSTIN
Battalion Managing Editor
Today was indeed a blue Monday
on the A&M campus.
Tired from a busy three-day
corps trip and downcast from the
14-20 upset at the hands of TCU
Saturday afternoon, the Aggies be
gan trickling back onto the cam
pus yesterday afternoon from Fort
Worth.
The unusual spirit which had
prevailed since school started
Sept. 17 was lacking and the
12th man, as well as the foot
ball team, suddenly realized
there had been a sudden awaken
ing lashed to them by the un
derdog Horned Frogs. TCU
scored three touchdowns in the
last nine minutes of play to sew
up the ball game and beat the
Aggies who had led after a score
less first half.
Aside from the unhappiness of
defeat and the absence of victory
celebrations Saturday night, the
Aggies and the Tessies of TSCW
had quite a weekend in their fif
teenth annual joint corps trip. It
was the ninth such meeting in Fort
Worth and the girls from Denton
came in by the hundreds to witness
the Aggies’ parade in downtown
Fort Worth Saturday morning, and
to join them at the football game
that afternoon.
Sophomore Wanda Harris of
TSCW was crowned Aggie Sweet
heart for 1951 by Corps Command
er Eric Carlson during half time
activities.
Miss Harris was presented
with a bouquet of flowers and
the traditional kiss from the
corps leader. Unofficial statis
ticians reported the kiss lasted
approximately 20 seconds—near
ing the all-time record.
The Aggie Sweetheart was on
hand Saturday morning to view
the corps parade from a special
A H Burge, of coi.ege Dr Armstrong Price Named
Counsellor for Institute
Dr. W. Armstrong Price, pro
fessor of geological oceanography,
recently was appointed a counsel
lor of the seminary for Cenozoic
Studies of the Geological Insti
tute National University of Mex
ico. Dr. Price replaces Dr. Kirk
Bryan of Harvard University, who
died last year.
The Geological Institute, which
is the governmental geological sur
vey body for Mexico, usually has
four counsellors in the United
States. These offices are filled by
vertebrate paleontologists and geol
ogists engaged in the study of
the remains of early man and
the sediments in which these re
mains are buried.
The selection of Dr. Price is in
recognition of his studies of the
Pleistocene and Recent sediments
and plains of the southwestern
United States and marginal areas
of Mexico.
His use of archaelogical evi
dences, especially in the study
of ancient Indian cultures of the
clay dunes of the coast of Texas
and Tamaulipas, and his chronol
ogy of the extensive fossil dune
fields of the High Plains of Texas
and New Mexico with the asso
ciated lakes lend particular distinc
tion to the office to which he has
been appointed.
Dr. Price has been associated
with the Oceanography Depart
ment at A&M since early in 1950
and presently is concerned with
research in geological oceanogra
phy. He has published some 100
technical articles and has had ex
tensive academic and industrial
research experience.

Fall AF Grads
Will Receive
Early Duty Call
Air Force ROTC students
of all colleges in the United
States who receive commis
sions and baccalaureate de
grees between Jan. 1 and
March 23 will be ordered to ac
tive military service within 99
days of their graduation, Head
quarters, USAF, has announced.
AF students who are veterans
are excluded from the call. They
may be called should future re
quirements of the service dictate
such action, the Air Force said.
No announcement has been made
as to the calling of Air Force
ROTC students who graduate after
March 23. The Air Force said that
a decision concerning their call
will be announced later, after a
“detailed determination of Air
Force requirements” is made.
The January-March graduates
who are called will be encouraged
to apply for flying or meteorology
training. These students may also
submit requests for evaluation for
language training. The Air Force
is currently offering language
training in the Slavic, Arabic, Ro
mance and Far Eastern language
groups.
Adickes Winner
Of Scholarship
Cecil Frederick Adickes Jr., of
Huntsville, has been named win
ner of the Texas Chapter, Ameri
can Foundrymen’s Society, scholar
ship of $360 at A&M.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Cecil F. Adickes Sr., of Huntsville,
and a senior student in. Industrial
Engineering. His father graduated
from the College in Civil Engineer
ing in 1910.
In addition to being an outstand
ing student, Adickes is a member
of the Student Senate, the Ross
Volunteers and an officer in the
Cadet Corps.
8:30 a. m. so corps men arriving
for the 10 a. m. parade could find
their units and line up to march out
as scheduled.
Headed by the Corps Staff and
Maroon and White bands, the
cadet corps moved onto Fort
Worth’s Main Street at 10 a. m.
sharp to begin their 15 block
march.
Thousands of spectators jammed
downtown Fort Worth to see the
4,600 man military contingent
from A&M.
As usual, the Aggies met their
dates at the dismissal area on
Grove Street and continued their
partying and merrymaking which
had commenced the night before.
At TSCW Friday night an all
college dance was held in the Un
ion Building. A capacity crowd
jammed the dance floor as the
TSCW orchestra furnished music
for the dancers.
More than 400 Aggies made
the trek to Denton Friday after
noon and caused many headaches
for the TSCW officials who tried
to arrange housing facilities for
them. The situation finally re
sulted in many of the A&M stu
dents sleeping in cars, on couch
es, and just about any conven
ient place they could find—in
cluding three or four to a double
bed.
Sayers Hall was used to accom
modate about 200 of the visiting
students from A&M while Sirt
Cuadado Dormitory was also open
to the Denton visitors.
Special charter buses were jam
med with Aggies and Tessies early
Saturday morning as the students
made the 30 mile trip to. “cow-
town” for the big parade, football
game, and nighttime activities.
The boot-studded delegation
from A&M made quite a hit with
the people of Fort Worth as'they
paraded down Main and Houston
Streets. In the parade which
lasted for 35 minutes, all eight-
regiments and two bands of the
cadet corps took part. Only units
absent were the senior compan
ies and A Athletic which is
spending its Thursday afternoon
drill hours practicing football
these days.
The usual outfit parties pre
vailed Saturday night. Numerous
private parties \Vere also held in
and out of Fort Worth Friday
and Saturday.
for foreign nations not under Sov
iet domination.
And it gave some raises to gov
ernment employes. Some jobs were
cut out.
In international affairs congress
extended until June 12, 1953, the
President’s power to make recip
rocal trade agreements. It auth
orized an emergency loan of $199,-
906,000 to India for food; said the
President should obtain congres
sional approval before committing
additional American troops to Gen.
Eisenhower’s western European
army; ordered cessation of Uni
ted States military and economic
aid—with some exceptions—to na
tions shipping arms or war mater
ial to Russia or her satellites. The
congress expressed friendship of
the American people for all the
people of the world, and denounced
the arrest and conviction in Czech
oslovakia of William N. Otis, an
Associated Press reporter, on “spy
ing” charges.
Draft Legislation
In national defense, the draft
law was extended to mid-1955, and
the minimum induction age was
lowered to 18Vi. In addition to oth
er appropriations, Congress auth
orized the Navy to spend up to
$2,700,000,000 for construction and
conversion of warships. It also au
thorized the armed forces to build
facilities and bases costing $5,800,-
000,000 but then cut the program
by appropriating only about $4,-
250,000,000 to foot the bill.
All told, Congress appropriated
more than $90,000,000,000 in the
10 months it was in session.
to the amazement of all the fans.
The big question of what fired up the
Frogs is still unanswered and probably never
will be solved.
No single play or individual performance,
can be called the sole cause, because it was
just a combination of all happenings and the
conclusion came only with the end of the
game.
TCU’s on-side kick might be considered
one of the turning points after it set up their
second touchdown.
^ Another deciding factor was Ray
McKovvn, Frog’s third string quar
terback, literally shoved the Frogs
into their, last quarter rally.
McKown, 190-pound 19-year-old
sensation from Dumas, twisted and
squirmed for 49 yards for TCU’s
fii'st points. He then sent John
Harvill for eight yards around end
for the second score and then
bowled through the middle himself
from the one yard line for the de
ciding third tally.
Scoreless First Half
Although, the first half was
scoreless, the Aggies dominated
the play. Two first half drives
were stopped. One was on an in
tersectional pass thrown by Garde-
mal intended for Robert Shaeffer.
The other attempt failed on a fum
ble.
The Cadets scored first in the
third quarter on a Dick Gardemal
to Bob Smith pass play which net
ted 66 yards.
Brusin’ Bob scored his first
touchdown of 1 the 1951 football sea
son when he scooted down the side
lines for 55 yards with TCU’s
Sammy Morrow giving chase all
the way.
Darrow Hooper added the extra
point and the Aggies held a 7-0
lead and look if they might open
the game up.
Early in the fourth quarter, the
Cadet machine struck for another
quick TD after Bill Ballard, sub
stitute for Augie Saxe, who was
out with a broken arm, intercepted
a TCU pass.
Graves to Tidwell
Then quarterback Ray Graves
passed 12 yards to Billy Tidwell
all by himself in the end zone for
the second and final tally.
Darrow Hooper again added the
extra point and the Aggies felt in
sured with a 14-0 lead and less
than 11 minutes to go in the game,
A few seconds later McKown
shook loose for his back-breaking
