Having made the selection which
might we'll have frightened the
wits out of a professional acting
group, the Howard Players tackle
it with a spirit that carries its own
admirable quality Of drama even
when it misses on the drama in
the play itself. What they are
achieving in THE Witch" at
Spaulding Hall this week is the
kind of excitement that fiavors
every intelligent and earnest ap-
proach to the classical in college
theater.
Credit for this reflects princi-
pally upon DR.. Anne Cooke, whose
direction of 1.-The Witch" has i'm
bued it's cast with so much under

they feel toward fanatical display.

Failure of "PiecemeaI" DEVELOPMENT
Brought About IVA
In discussing IVA it is said:
"TVA had its origin in the failure
to adapt our national departmental
structure to the requirements of river
basin development. Piecemeal sim
gle purpose development remained
the order of the day in spite of the
evidence that maximum development
was attainable only through river
basin planning and development on
a comprehensive multiple-purpose
basis. Twas charter gave it num-
Der of significant advantages in COM
parison with established river devel-
opment agencies.
"The jurisdiction of the agency
with full responsibility for water re-
source development must be cock
tensive with the boundaries of the
BASIN. 1t makes no sense to divide
responsibility between two water de-
velopment agencies operating in the
same basin"
After the Hoover Report was re-
leased Governor Miller wrote an ar
ticle for the Saturday Evening Post.
In it he summed up what is set out
at length in the report Of the Com
mission on Natural Resources in these
words.
"The Pick Sloan plan, will cost
the taxpayers six billion three hun
dred million dollars an estimate
and it will not serve the needs of
the Missouri Valley adequately as
it is still crazy quilt, non inte-
grated program"
In his article he characterizes the
oick-Sloan plan as "a conscienceless
lit of political compromising" and
.nds by saying; II will go step fur
her and say that unless firm steps
re taken, President Truman will
ave trouble bringing about his pro-
'osed eva plan. Both Engineers and
reclamation have staked out claims.

Impossible To Iron Out Conflicts
Under Existing Set Up
=. There is simply no escaping
the fact that so long as the present
overlapping of functions exists with
respect to the Corps of Engineers
the Bureau of Reclamation, and the
Federal Power Commission, costly
duplication, confusion, and compe-
ton are bound to result. 1t has been
demonstrated time and again that
neither by voluntary cooperation nor
by executive coordination can the
major conflicts be ironed out"
Favors lntegrated, Decentralized
Development Planning
'The committee then recommends:
"A comprehensive program of
changes in existing policies, pro-
grams, and administrative organiza-
ton is essential to attainment of the
objective of maximum benefits from
water resource development at the
lowest possible cost. The elements of
this program are more adequate basic
data programs; enactment of com
prehensive, equitable, and financially |
sound national water policy; the uni
fication of responsibility for multi
purpose river basin development; de-
Capitalization of administra along
river basin lines; and effective re-
view and coordination of water de-
gelopnent projects in the Executive
Office of the President"

sin, the Corps and the Bureau an
nounced complete agreement on the
Pick-Sloan plan. Analysis of that
plan reveals the fact that it contains
many projects which previously had
been subjected to devastating criti-
cism by one or the other agency. The
compromise consisted for the most
part in division of projects, each
agency agreeing to forego the priv
lege of criticizing projects assigned
by the agreement to the other. The
result is in no sense an integrated
development plan for the basin, and
there is serious doubt in this case
whether agreement between the two
agencies is not more costly to the
public than disagreement.
Committee Can Agree On Time
To Adjourn
Advocates of an MVA have long
contended that the federal interag-
ency river basin committee is totally
ineffective as means Of co-ordin-
ating the work of the many agencies
working on the Missouri river plan.
Ben Stong has said that the only
agreement the committee has ever
reached is to adjourn after each meet
ing. The report of the current meet
ing at Sioux City shows the correct
ness of that statement but if any
further proof is needed, read this
from the committee report:

KOREA:
Situation Serious

The war in Korea which seemed
on the verge of complete victory
for the United Nations forces took
dangerous turn with the inva-
sion of Chinese Communists. Po-
litical observers termed the situa-
ton serious, including Gen. Doug
las Macarthur, the U. N. COM
mander.
According to available reports,
between three and six Chinese di-
visions crossed the boundary be-
tween .Manchuria and Korea and
went into battle beside the North Ko-
reans. The immediate military re-
suit was a withdrawal of U. N.
troops south, in some instances as
much as so miles.
Macarthur summed up the sit
uation by reporting that the North
Korean army was finished as a
fighting force in October by the in
flicting of 1886, 600 casualties. This
included $4,000 Reds who were
captured.
His communique on the situa-
ton said: "In the face of this VIC
tory of U.N. arms, the Commu-
nists committed one of the most
offensive acts of international law
lessness Of historic record -
There are available in Manchuria
about 100000 troops veterans of
the Chinese civil war-which could
be thrown into the battle immed-
lately. Another 100000 are believed
to be either in Manchuria or North
China.
The dangerous question now fac
ing the free nations is what atti.
tude the Chinese will take to Mac
Arthur's charge that "alien Com
munists" have entered the war.
Whether the Communist world is
prepared to take this colossal step
is a secret, most probably locked
in the depths of the Kremlin.
If the Communists are ready to
take this risk it may mean the

of the world as we have known

WORLD WAR Ill.,:
Thunder Can Be Heard

The capitals of the world trem-
bled because many observers be-
lieved they heard the thunder Of
World War III on the horizon.
The thunder was caused by Com
munist China which adopted the
attitude that American interven-
ton in Korea signalizes an inten-
ton to invade China
All Communist dispatches and
broadcasts hammered out tn e
same recurrent themes:
l. The Chinese Communists will
oppose american imperialist ag-
gressors" with concrete action.
2. American use of the atom
bomb will mean retaliation in kind.
Observers were further troubled
because the Chinese evidently
meant business. From three to six
Chinese divisions had been iden-
titled in action in Korea against
United Nations forces. T.iey forced
U. N. troops to make Withdrawals,
and, from early reports, intended
to continue their march south.
NO one In MS right Talnu can
overlook the fact that China could
be the strongest nation in the
world. The Chinese Communist
armies already are estimated at
100000 men of whom 1000, 900 are
in Manchuria. Peiping recently an
nounced organization of 5,50O,0OO
armed militia, bringing the coun-
try's armed strength to more than

Its industrial might never has
been exploited, but could, within a
few years, become one of the
greatest in the world. China's war
supplies at present are furnished in
great part by Russia. There is no
reason to believe they will be dis
continued. .--.
Observers believe that II China
is determined to do SO, she can
take over Korea. It would mean a
defeat for United Nations forces
and the first phase Of World War
III. The answer seems to be hid

GERM-WARFARE:
Infected Ruts Found

One of the most frightening and
horrible discoveries of the Korean
conflict was made public when the
army disclosed it had found five
thousand rats and mice innoculat-
ed with deadly plague and other
germs in a secret laboratory near
Pyongyang.
The army reported more than
5000 rats and mice were inoculated
with such diseases as bubonic
plague, encephalitis, and eurirra-
waddy fever Immediately after the
U.N. landing at Inchon.
Only $50 of the carriers were
alive when discovered and 200 of
these were mad from hunger.
None were believed to have been
turned loose or to have escaped
from their sealed cages, though
fleas from the dead animals might
spread disease.
The project was reported under
the supervision of a Russian wom-
an scientist who fled northward
after the landing.
The animals were kept in cages
in groups of from two to 20. They
were well fed and their furs
sprayed with a chemical that en-
couraged the multiplication of
fleas.
The discovery will provide clue
to the type of germ-warfare ex-
perrin entation Communist coun-
tries might be carrying out and
give the free nations of the world
an indication as to what horrors
the Communist will resort.

SPAIN:
Bon Is Lifted

After four years the United Ma
tons had lifted its diplomatic ban
against the Spanish government.
The action accomplished two OBJ
jectives:
l. It withdrew the 1916 recon-
mendation to all U. N. members
that they withdraw ambassadors
and ministers from Madrid.
2. 1t lifted the 1916 ban against
admission of Spain to the U. MS
specialized agencies.
The United States, however, will
not return an ambassador to Mad
rid. President Truman said public
ly recently he would not appoint
one.
The U. MS resolution left intact
the condemnation of the Franco
regime for its aid to the Axis dur
ing World War II.
The United States voted in favor
of removing the boycott which was
spearheaded by Catholic Latin
American nations.
