Storm Lost Punch.
The New Orleans Weather Bu-

when it hit Houston.
The bureau said it had lost its
clearly defined "eye"-the center
of the storm near which destruc.

This morning many of the city's
residents scoffed at the idea that
a hurricane had passed in the
nights. Lots of wind and lots
of rain, but no hurricane" was
the verdict of hurrican-wise Hous-

The Houston Weather Bureau
wasn't able to get a positive read

instruments were being replaced
and were not in a position tc
measure the storm. The bureau
estimated the wind reached 9t
miles an hour.

Earlier, Nationalist Foreign Min
lister George Yeh had declared
here that Russian recognition Of
the bogus regime" at Peipine
was mot only an act of aggres-
sion against China but also a
threat to the peace and security
of the Far East"
(Only the Soviet Union and
two of her satellites-Bulgaria
and Romania-have accorded
the Chinese Red government
recognition.
1n Washington the State
Department said it will make
no move toward recognition
until congressional leaders have
been consulted.

that the United States, Britain
and France are expected to
assess their attitude on recog-

Declaring the Chinese Commu-

I'VE are determined to wipe out
the Communists. Military set

will be seriously threatened"
The man who took over when
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
retired" as China's President con-
ceded the profit motive might
cause some nations to recognize
the Peiping regime. He said this
would be considered an unfriendly
act by the Chinese people"
Reports from Lake Success said
representatives of nations outside

"go slow" attitude on the matter
of Chinese Red recognition. A

Progress Against
Prejudice

Those who think that progress can
not be made in the struggle against
nreiudice should consider what is
happening in college fraternities and
sororities.
In 1916, the Is fraternities at Am
herst College were told that they had
to abolish racial and religious dis
elimination. They all agreed.
The StudenF Council of Brooklyn
College suspended a local fraternity
which failed to remove discrimina-
tory clauses from its constitution
An honorary journalistic sorority
at Hunter College withdrew from its
national organization because of
tions discriminate on the basis of

Honorary societies at the Univers-
ity of Chicago may not continue in

may not establish chapters at Ariz-
ona State College if their constitu

The University of Minnesotas In

AIKEN similar action where sororities
are concerned.
An honorary law fraternity at the
University of Wisconsin withdrew
from it's national in order to admit
members of every race and creed.
At the University of Vermont

The University of Colorado has
refused to approvenew societies,
honorary and social, which have con-
situations limiting membership in
terms of race or religion. TheUni-
versity of Washington will not grant
recognition to any new organization
having religious or racial restric-
lions on membership eligibility.
Local inter-faith and inter-racial
fraternities have been organized at
Ohio State, Ohio Wesleyan, Mariet-
ia Baldwin Wallace-with similar
groups on the way at Bucknell and
Minnesota.
