On Buffer Plan,
Distance Question
Munsan, Korea, Oct. 29——Al
lied and Communist negotiators
failed again today to make any
progress toward agreement on lo
cation of an armistice buffer zone
in Korea.
“Today’s discussions were com
pletely inconclusive,” the official
U.N. spokesman announced.
Subcommittees of the main armi
stice delegations met 3% hours in
Panmunjom. They scheduled their
sixth meeting for 11 a.m. tomor-
.row (9 p.m. Monday EST).
Each side has proposed a demar
cation line. The U.N. wants it
generally to follow the current
battle line, mostly in North Korea.
The Reds want the Allies to pull
back as much as 15 miles giving
up such hard won positions as the
iron triangle, the Punchbowl and
Heartbreak Ridge. In exchange,
they offered the Ongjin peninsula
in the west. The U.N. says that
has little military value.
Allied negotiators rejected the
Communist plan and said it could
Senate Passage
Of Jap Treaty
Believed Near
Washington, Oct. 2 8 —
(AP)—Senate ratification of
the Japanese treaty early
next year was forecast today
by Chairman Tom Connally
(D-Tex) of the Foreign Relations
Committee..
Connally said he had been urged
by John Foster Dulles, State De
partment adviser and principal au
thor of the treaty, to bring the
document before the Senate early
in the next session.
“I don’t think there will be any
terious opposition to the treaty,
although some of the senators will
want to talk about it,” Connally
said.
However, Senator Watkins (D-
Utah), said today he will propose
a reservation. Watkins wants to
specify that ratification of the
treaty does not mean the United
States is approving Russia’s title
to Asiatic areas obtained under
the Yalta agreement.
Russia won concessions in Man
churia, Sakhalin and the Kuriles
under the terms of that agree
ment.
The Utah senator said he prob
ably will support the treaty if the
reservation is adopted. The treaty
already has been approved by the
Japanese House of Representatives,
along with a security agreement
which grants the United States the
right to keep troops in Japan in
definitely.
Connally said his committe prob
ably will take up early next year
a proposal to admit Greece and
Turkey to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO).
NATO nations already have vot
ed to expand their pact group but
ratification of this action by the
parliamentary body of each nation
is required to make the action final.
Connally said he thinks some ef
fort may be made later to bring
Spain into NATO 1 , but observed
that objections by some of the
European nations will have to be
overcome before this can be ac
complished.
He forecast an early 1952 re
quest by the administration for
foreign aid funds. Congress pro
vided $7,300,000,000 in military
and economic aid funds for foreign
nations in the current year, with
indications that a similar amount
may be asked for the next 12-
month period.
not be considered “any further.”
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
the U.N. spokesman, described
Monday talks as “a fruitless effort
to arrive at” a solution.
He said subcommittee members
argued “spiritedly” but in a “com
pletely impersonal atmosphere” on
the two conflicting proposals.
The Allies and Communists were
in disagreement even on location
of the actual battle contact line
at some points, as well as location
of a cease-fire line.
Nuckols added:
“Very little news came out of
today’s meeting. This afternoon
the delegates discussed the line of
contact, discrepancies in the line
of contact, the United' Nations
command proposal and the Com
munist counterproposal.”
Joy Joins Meeting
As the meeting was in progress,
Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior
Allied envoy, returned to this ad
vance headquarters after spending
a few days in Tokyo. Major Gen.
Howard M. Turner, new member
of the five man truce delegation,
accompanied him.
In the morning, the subcommit
tees discussed the military signi
ficance of the Yonana. and Ongjin
peninsula in western Korea.
The Reds would retain them un
der the Allied plan.
Nuckols said one complaint the
Communists made against the Al
lied cease-fire proposal was that
it called for a 2% mile demili
tarized zone. This would be too
narrow, the Communists said.
Nuckols said the U.N. offered to
double the width. He said this
would come under the Allied offer
to make “minor modifications” in
its proposed cease-fire line.
More Problems
During the session, Allied ar
tillery thunder could be heard in
Panmunjom. U.N. big guns were
pounding Red positions about three
miles from the site. Puffs of dust
and smoke were visible from Pan
munjom as shells exploded.
If and when the issue of a buffer
zone is settled, it doesn’t mean the
fighting will be stopped. Three
other tough issues must be settled
first. They are:
• Supervision of the truce.
• Prisoner exchange.
• Recommendation to the in
volved governments, including the
Communist demand that all foreign
troops be withdrawn from Korea.

Everyone had a big time this
week-end, even though the game
settled no arguments and started
many new ones. One of the largest
crowds to ever witness a clash be
tween A&M and Baylor made its
way into Kyle Field Saturday af
ternoon to witness one of the
thrillers in the series.
The day got off with a boom
with midnight yell practice at
The Grove. There, Head Yell-Lead
er Lew Jobe and his staff con
ducted one of the more spirited
yell-sessions in recent times.
Saturday morning classes, in
terrupted by impromptu yell prac
tice and “beat the Hell outo Bay
lor” remarks, were conducted as
usual. Outside the classrooms,
streets and highways were crowded
with automobiles flying yellow and
green, and maroon and white
streamers.
At Vet Village and College
View,, mothers and fathers were
seen rushing their offspring to
“sitters”. At the dorms, the corps
was busy putting that last min
ute inspection to their uniforms
before falling out to march to the
Promptly a,t 12:45 p. m., the
famed Aggie Band led the corps in
to Kyle Field. Then followed the
usual confusion of finding dates
and a seat for the game.
Before the game got underway,
Brig. Gen. F. T. Dodd presented
the 4th Army team match champ
ionship trophy to the A&M Army
Rifle Team. Team Captain Duane
C. Unrue received, the award from
Gen. Dodd for the team.
A brown bear, “Josephine,”
the Baylor mascot, dragged her
handlers around the field a few
times. “Coke” hawkers did a
booming business as the humid
weather forced fans to shed their
raincoats.
Major General Bruce Clark,
commander of the 1st Armored
Division and CO of Fort Hood, was
among the visiting dignitaries who
saw the game. He arrived here
shortly before game time.

Chinese Reds
Fail in Charge
For UN Position
U. S. Eighth Army Head
quarters, Korea, Oct. 29—(/P)
Screaming Chinese Commun
ists three times today charged
an Allied-held hill mass south
east of Kumsong but failed to re
gain the positions Allied forces
took three days ago.
A frontline dispatch said the pre
dawn attacks kicked off in com
pany strength at 1:30 a.m. (11:30
a.m. Sunday EST) and built up to
battalion size three hours later.
Whooshing mortar fire pounded
Allied infantrymen as the Reds
rolled down a slope facing the U.N.
held hills on the central front.
On the western front Allied for
ces slogged forward as much as
1,200 yards.
In the east they seized a hill
and gained up to 1,000 yards after
turning back three separate night
attacks.
In the air Sunday, Allied and
Russian-made jets battled for the
eighth straight day. The Fifth
Air Force said one Red MIG was
shot down and another destroyed
in three battles involving 64 U.S.
Sabre jets and 160 enemy jets.
Fifth Air Force pilots Sunday
night pounced on heavy enemy
traffic columns and destroyed 235
vehicles. Pilots estimated they
sighted more than 2,100. The
heaviest movement was along the
Sinanju - Pyongyang - Sariwon -
Kumchqn supply line .
On Saturday night pilots re
ported they destroyed more than
236 of 3,000 Red vehicles brought
under attack.
Kumsong, 30 miles north of
parallel 38 and onetime enemy
strong point, has been neutral
ized, an Eighth Army staff officer
said. «
Allied troops have been in and
out of the rubbled city for days
but have not occupied it because
of heavy gun emplacements be
hind the town.
AP Corresponedent Milo Mar-
neti said it was these guns which
engaged Allied tanks in a knock
down battle Sunday. Four tanks
wei’e damaged but all were re
trieved.
U.N. tank guns knocked out 80
Communist bunkers and killed 42

320 rounds of mortar and artillery
fire on the column.
ters B-E-A-R and concluded their
activity by forming the letters
T-W-E-L-F-T-H M-A-N, at the
same time playing the Twelfth
Man.
A smart rifle drill by the Baylor
majorettes was included in the
Bruin halftime activities. The col
orful Baylor Band saluted the Ag
gies with “The Farmer in the
Dell.”
After the game Bear fans set
up cries of “Hey-hey ho-ho, Bay
lor’s going to the Cotton Bowl”.
Most of the Bear fans seemed
elated with the tie; while Aggie
supporters, for the most part,
seemed downcast.
However, after a concert at
Guion Hall by the Russ Morgan
orchestra, spirits seemed to rise
a little. Climax of the big day
was a dance at Sbisa Hall with
piusic by the Russ Morgan band.
Here Aggies and their sweethearts
danced until midnight.
Sunday, after the Saturday fes
tivities, Aggies told their dates
goodbye and settled back for an
other week of studies. There was
a feeling that more weekends were
ahead, especially winning ones, as
cries of “Beat the Hell Out of
Arkansas” were again heard
around the campus.
Davies Refuses
Churchill’s Bid
To Join Cabinet
London, Oct. 29—(AP) —
Winston Churchill today won
a qualified pledge of support
from the liberal party for
his new Conservative govern
ment and its narrow majority in
the House of Commons.
But Liberal party headquarters
announced that Clement Davies,
the Liberal leader, had turned
down an offer of a place in the
government.
The Liberals pledged their six
votes to the aid of the Conserva
tives’ 18-seat majority in the
House of Commons on “measures
clearly conceived in the interest
of the country as a whole.”
Wearing his old “siren suit”—
the zip-fronted overalls which he
adopted in London’s blitz—Church
ill conferred with Davies for a
second time today.
After their two hour conference,
Liberal headquarters announced:
“Mr. Clement Davies has receiv
ed an offer of office in Mr. Church
ill’s government. He has felt un
able to accept.
“At the same time the Liberal
party is deeply concerned at the
possible effect of the narrow maj
ority in the House of Commons re
sulting from the general election
upon the successful conduct of
British policy, both in domestic and
international affairs.
“In these ciscumstances it will,
both in parliament and the coun
try, give to the government sup
port for measures clearly con
ceived in the 1 interest of the coun
try as a whole.”
In offering Davies a place,
Churchill was trying to fulfill a
campaign proposal to create a
“broad based” government to deal
with Britain’s deepening delima in
economic and foreign affairs.
+ Baylor once more depended on Larry Isbell’s passing
as the Bears came from behind in a hard-fought battle Sat
urday on Kyle Field to tie the Aggies 21-21.
This was possibly more than a tie for the Bruins since
the Aggies were rated the Bear’s strongest opponent in the
SWC. They survived this game without defeat, thus strength
ening their outlook for the conference title. •
Billy Tidwell, Bob Smith, and Glenn Lippman were
again the big guns for the Cadets while Isbell’s brilliant
quarterbacking sparked Baylor all the way.
That “good old Baylor line” seemed to prove the differ
ence between a tie or defeat for the Bears as it crashed in
with inspired charges in the last quarter to set back the
Maroon and White again and again.
— 1 —+ Baylor broke the ice by scor
ing with only 11 minutes gone in
the first period as Isbell sparked
a 70 yard sustained drive from
the Bear 30-yard line to the 1-
yard line. Richard Parma then
took a handoff over center for
the touchdown. G. O. Brocato con
verted. v ‘
On the following kickoff Glenn
Jones sent a low fast kick down
the middle. The ball hit Hugh
Meyer of the Cadets and fell to
the ground where Dickey Murray
recovered for the Bears. ,
But the ball went over on downs
as Baylor used four tries without
making a first down. The Aggies
took over on their own 39-yard
line.
On the first play, Tidwell lost a
yard on an end-around, then Gar-
demal passed to Hodge for a 11-
yard pickup.

Taft Blasts UN,
Called Failure
Cincinnati, Oct. 29—CP) —
Senator Robert A. Taft (R-
Ohio) declared here yesterday
the Korean war has “demon
strated that the United Na
tions is an utter failure as a means
of preventing aggression.”
The Ohio senator, a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
president, made the statement in
a television (NBC’s forum of the
air) debate with Senator Brian
McMahon (D-Conn).
Their arguments became heated
and loud at timps, as they debated
the source of Russia’s present
strength.
Taft said the Democratic ad
ministration built up Russia. Mc
Mahon called Taft’s statement
“absurd” and added that “the
strength of Russia comes from in
side Russia itself.”
McMahon asserted Taft’s bid for
the Republican presidential nomi
nation is based on an “isolationist”
policy. The Ohioan countered with
the statement that his policy is
one of preventing a war “unless
it is to protect the liberty of the
United States.”
Tidwell drew the carrying chore
on third down and darted around
end from the fifty to score the
the Aggies first touchdown. Bob
Smith and Marshall Rush put ii{
key blocks for Tidwell and clear*
ed the way to the chalk line.
Darrow Hooper converted for
A&M and then kicked-off to Wal
lace Talbert who took iti for Bay

Clark Explains Goal
Of TCCTA Campaign
Dr. J. L. Clark, president of
the Texas College Classroom
Teachers Association, told mem
bers of the A&M Chapter of the
American Association of Univer
sity Professors, that a drive to in
crease membership in the TCCTA
to 51,000 is now in progress
throughout the state. The meeting
was held Thursday night in the
Assembly Room of the YMCA.
A&M’s chapter of the TCCTA
is small in comparison to similar
groups at other state supported
institutions of higher learning.
There are approximately 20 mem
bers in the local group. Total mem
bership in the state organization
is 41,000.
“The aim of this association,”
Dr. Clark explained, “it to raise
the level of higher education in
Texas and offer the legislature and
its 17 member Legislative Coun
cil advice and counsel in new legis
lation affecting higher education
in Texas.”
Other state supported schools
participating in the program in
clude the University of Texas,
Texas Tech, North Texas State,
TSCW, and West Texas State.
The TCCTA is a sub-division of
the Texas State Teachers Asso
ciation,
Annual Convention
Plans were also explained for
the annual convention of the asso
ciation to be held in the Rice Hotel
in Houston during the Thanksgiv
ing holidays.
Guest speaker for this occasion
will be Chancellor James P. Hart
of the University of Texas, who
will speak at the Association’s
banquet. All presidents of state
supported institutions of higher
learning and chairmen of the gov
erning boards of these schools
will be guests at the banquet.
In explaining policies of the
TCCTA, Dr. Clark asked, “Who
better than faculty members konw
the problems of higher education
in Texas?”
The taxpayer is entitled to have
this expert knowledge applied to
the higher institutions of learn
ing which require tax dollar sup
port,” Dr. Clark said.
