‘Schemes’
Munsan, Korea, March 12—
(iP)—Allied truce negotiators
today ^rejected a new Red
scheme to let Russia examine
American secret weapons.
U.N. negotiators said the Com
munist plan “amounted to a forced
gathering of military intelligence”
by neutral inspection teams super
vising a Korean armistice. Under
the Red proposal these teams would
include Russia.
Allied negotiators also rejected
a prisoner exchange plan they said
the Communists seemed “very anx
ious” to put over. Rear Adm. R.
E. Libby said “it could be a trap.”
In any event, it did not include
voluntary repatriation on which the
Allies insist.

BULLETIN
Seoul, Korea, March 12—t 2 ?)
American Sabre jet pilots shot
down four more Red jets today, for
a total of 15 destroyed in three
days.
Eleven other Russian type MIG-
15 jets were damaged in the three
days, the U.S. Fifth Air Force re
ported. American losses, if any,
are announced weekly.
Four MIGS were destroyed and
two damaged in a seven-minute
battle Wednesday morning- over
oorthwest Korea between 20 F-86
Sabi-es and 17 Reds.

Despite the dual rejection, U.N.
spokesmen noted an improved tone
jn truce talks after recent days of
bitter exchanges.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
official U.N. command spokesman,
said the Reds showed “they recog
nize the fact that this is an armis
tice in Korea” and apparently
abandoned an attempt to ban Al
lied blockades of the China coast.
Col. Andrew J. Kinney, U. N.
staff officer, said Communist indi

Corps Review Set
For Danish Guests
A full dress review by the Corps
of Cadets will highlight Friday’s
activities honoring 15 top Danish
representatives who will be on the
campus to inspect the military
training life at A&M, Col. Joe E.
Davis, commandant, has announc
ed. The review is set to start at
3 p. m.
The Danish officials will arrive
here Friday at 10 a. m. They
will tour the campus, examining
the military facilities here in an
effort to gain ideas which will be
useful in establishing ROTC units
in their country. \
One of Many Stops
A&M is only one of many stops
which the foreign delegation will
make on its trip across the Unit
ed States. During their travels,
the Danish officials have inspected
Army, Air Force and Navy ROTC
units and facilities at leading col
leges and universities in this coun
try.
Following their arrival, the for
eign visitors will be taken on a
complete tour of the campus visit
ing class rooms, and dormitories.
A portion of the officials will be
guests of President M. T. Harring
ton for luncheon Friday while the
remainder will eat the noon meal
with the Cadet Corps.
Promote Good Will
During their visit to the United
States the Danish officials hope
to promote international good will
between Denmark and this coun
try. Ranks of the delegates include
those of ministerial, general, field
and company grade.
Heading the list of guests will
be His Excellency Erick Lindgren-
Danish under-secretary of defense;
Maj. Gen. S. E. Johnstad Moller,
chief and inspector general of the
Home Guard; and Lt. Gen. Jacob
sen, director of personnel and or
ganization of the Danish Defense
Ministry and Major R. S. Ander
son, chief of staff of the inspector
general of infantry.
An Aggie-ex, Lt. Col. Charles H.
Jones, Jr., will be on hand as rep
resentative of the Office of Re
serve and ROTC Affairs Depart
ment, Washington, D. C. Colonel
Jones is on the staff of Maj. Gen.
Hugh M. Milton II.
Following the parade, the visit
ors will leave for San Antonio.
plasma then sent for use in Korea
in a week’s time, said Dr. Joe Cox
of Bryan.
Dr. Cox is one of the many local
doctors who are donating their
time to aid the Red Cross blood-
mobile which is operating out of
Beaumont. Because the unit was
unable to supply an attending phy
sician, Bryan and College Station
doctors are working in shifts,
checking donors who have colds or
sore throats to see if the illness
is serious enough to prevent their
giving blood.
The bloodmobile is set up to
take care of nine persons every
fifteen minutes. Although this quo
ta is sometimes delayed by don
ors who for some reason fail to
meet the requirements for donat
ing blood, the work so far has been
going smoothly, said Mrs. Clifton
C. Doak, wife of the head of the
biology department, who is also
helping.
Several persons have been turn
ed away because they ate lunch
while others who were scheduled
for the early part of the afternoon
were refused for having used
cream butter for breakfast, she
added.
Although the bloodmobile, locat
ed in the YMCA is a scene of calm
professional efficiency, the atmos
phere is neither cold or impersonal.
While donors move from table
to table giving- their identification,
having their temperature, blood
pressure and hemoglobin count tak
en, until the pint of blood is actual
ly drawn from their bodies, they
are treated with a respect and
friendliness that relieves all fear
and doubts they might have.
“Everybody is so nice, your ego
becomes inflated and you feel good
all the time you’re there,” explain
ed Lew Jobe, senior business maj
or. “I had almost forgotten how
nice people can be,” he added.
Easy to Donate
Gerald Marshall of Victoria, was
surprised to discover how easy
donating your bloor actually is:
“I had heard they strapped you
down on the -table and when it
was all over you weren’t able to
make it back to the dorm.” “It’s
not like that at all,” he admitted.

Ike Wins All 14 Votes,
Kefauver 12, In N. H.
Manchester, N.H., March 12—(/P)—Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower hammered out a com
plete and overwhelming victory over Sen.
Robert A. Taft in the New Hampshire pri
mary today, and Sen. Estes Kefauver smash
ed the Democratic state party organization,
defeating President Truman.
It was the nation’s first primary election.
The results, in both the Democratic and
Republican contests, came as a stunning sur
prise, both to the victors and the defeated.
Eisenhower swept the popular vote, and
won all 14 GOP delegate races.
Kefauver overwhelmed Truman by a com
fortable margin, and also won all the 12 del
egates, who have eight convention votes.
With 273 of the state’s 297 precincts re
ported, the tolls were:
Eisenhower 39,533; Taft 30,115.
With 274 precincts reporting, Kefauver
had 3 8,347 and Truman 15,122.
Eisenhower’s margin nearly doubled the
most optimistic prediction of any of his fol
lowers. That was 5,000; most estimates less

tion will continue Saturday morn

Transportation to the college will

dents have been invited. Members
of campus home town clubs select
ed those students 1'eceiving invi
tations, and will px-ovide housing
for the students during their visit.
“In view of the lax-ge numbei' of
students expected, registx-ation
and an orientation meeting, fox--
mex-ly scheduled to be held in the
Memox-ial Student Center, have

As to delegates, the consensus
before the election was that he
would take 12. Sen. Taft had said
he would be satisfied to win four.
In terms of px-e-election fox-e-
casts, Kefauver’s victory over the
President was even more stunning.
The Tennesseean made modest
claims—but not for a victox-y—in
popular vote, and said he believed
he would win “some delegates.”
In Frankfurt, Gexmany, Eisen
hower said, when told the returns
“any American who is honox-ed by
so maxxy other Americans consider
ing- him fit for the Presidency
should be px-oud, or, by golly, he is
no American.”
Kefauver Elated
Kefauver said, “I am entirely
elated over the results. I don’t
think this is a protest vote against
President Truman, because in gen-
ex-al I agree with Mr. Truman.”
The Senator added that he intends
to enter as many primaries as
possible.
Neither the President, vacation
ing in Floi’ida, nor Sen. Taft, cam
paigning in Texas, made a state
ment.
Taft’s campaign leaders conced

Polgar Appears
Show Tomorrow
Mentalist
In Guion
Amex-ica’s greatest mentalist, Dx*.
Fx-anz J. Polgar will present his
inspix-ing show “Miracles of the
Mind” when he perfox-ms at Guion
Hall Thux-sday night.
The pexformance will be divid
ed into thx-ee sections. Mental gym
nastics and telephathy will com-
px-ise the first two portions of the
show while the third and longest
part will be devoted to hypnotism.
The audience will be allowed to
participate in this part of the
show ixx which Di\ Polgar will use
them both as assistants and sub
jects.
Dx-. Polgar assures his subjects
that a person will not do anything
while undex- hypnosis that he would
not do othex-wise.
Polgax-, a native Hungarian, at-
tx-acted the notice of Ferenczi, a
psychoanalyst fx-iend of the gx-eat
Dx-. Fx-ued. Dx-. Frued, hearing of
the young man’s possibilities, in
vited Polgar to come to Vienna
and pax-ticipate in some of his
classes.
It was a Professor Nemeti in
Budapest who was pex-haps the
gx-eatest influence on the hypno
tist’s life because he taught him
the basic techniques of hypnosis
and mental development.
While in Europe, Polgar had the
oppoxtunity to meet and obsei-ve
the trickery and chax-latanism of
Hanussen. This trickster later be
came infamous as the astrologer
who bolstered Hitler’s sagging ego.
Polgar is one of the few men who
knows the inside story of the
tricks used by this wizai’d.
When he came to Amex-ica young
Polgar had to start at the bottom.
He first wox-ked as a waiter in
speakeasies, but soon advanced to
giving demonstrations of his abil
ities as a mentalist and hypnoist.
It was then that he realized his
potentialities as a gx-eat entertain
er.
Today he is one of the most
popular one man shows in Amer
ica.
Entertainment Purpose
Entertainment is the prime pur
pose of the show although Pol
gar will attempt to explain some
of the techniques he uses. As well
as being an entex-tainex-, the hypno
tist is also a student of psychiatry
and the scientific uses of hypnosis.
Tickets for Thux-sday night’s
pexformance are being sold
through the Student Activities Of
fice and will be available at the
dooi\ Admission will be 50 cents.
