The end of the year brings
much IF PLEASURE and some
regret as We reflect on the
passing Of the 365 days now
coming 10 close. On Tues
day We shall be opening a new
book. the first page of which
will bear the number 1852.
What will we write thereon?
1t could contain a scoop Of
peace negotiations being con-
cluded, o. important men de-
claring their intentions to
carry on their work in a more
honest way, or Try TO con-
clude their work in an orderly
and hasty manner. so that tax
payers money might be saved.
II could contain A resolve to
forget petty chickering's and
get down 10 basic and needed
improvements. These are all
big things that claim the at
ton of all. But in a personal
way there might be written the
beginning Of a new life. or the
coming home Of one long away.
or the wish TO give needed ser
vice TO ones community. Any
beginning is so important. The
New Year can be wonderful.
Happy New Year.

Tokyo and Berlin look quite far
apart as the rounded surface of
the. globe goes. But they look
much further when you can see
at the same time how close Lon
don and Washington are.
Such clear vision around and
through the worlds surface on
prblems of World War II allies
Is possible at the University Of
Cincinnati this year because Of
two new transparent plastic
globes.
Nested down in the campus
Physics Bldg, the 36-inch dia-
meter plastic bubbles look like a
child's dream of TIE perfect toy.
At S16750 apiece, however. not
many parents In their right SEN
ses would buy them, except per-
haps during the Christmas rush.
The globes have a purpose far
removed from childish dreams of
play: They are used in demon
strations of distances and global
concepts. The up-to-the minute
spheres are part of an up-to-the
minute course in World Political
Geography" introduced this year
as required study for freshman
Air Force Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps members.
Four hundred freshmen are en-
rolled in the Air Force ROTC
this year, as against $50 last year.
In charge of the program is
Capt. Leonard B. White, Instruc-
tor in Air Science and Tactics,
who came to UC this fall from
teaching in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Sc
condary schools. He is assisted
by 1T. JOHN M. MILLER, In
structor in Air Science and Tao
tics, a former Madison County,
Ohio. teacher, WHO LIVED AT
1T ELM ST, LONDON,O.
Fashioned of clear plastic with
the outlines of the world painted
on the inside, the globes are
mounted on low wooden bases.
With the aid of three rollers, the
worldly bubbles rotate freely in
any direction at the touch of a
finger. slT

wax pencils whose lines rub off
the plastic surface as easily as
countries have disappeared behind
the Iron Curtain.
The ROTC guide for the UC
course states, Geography is the
most fundamental factor in
foreign policy and national Sc
cnrity because it is the most per-
rrianent." On the basis that In
geography lie the clues to pro-
blems of military and political
strategy, Air Science I for fresh
men consists of just 80 hours oi
drill and leadership, and go hours
of world political geography.
Considering an appropriate
subject for the potential Air Force
officer, political geography is de
signed to assist him in formula

In these areas"

United Nations forces continue to push forward on the Vest Gen. tral Korean front. Allied tanks moved up within range of the biz Communist base of Chorwon ano laid seize to one of the main Allied objectives.
 Chorwon is IS miles inside Red Korea. Doughboys with flamethrow- CTS yesterday burned a path for the tanks to blow through.
 The tanks took up vantage points only three miles from the city. It is the anchor point for an estimated 600,000 Red troops being massed in this area for a long-expected spring offensive.
 Elsewhere along the 140-mile front the Communists continued to pull back slightly, and Allied troops followed up the Red withdrawals.
 In Tokyo, John Foster Dulles, U s. special ambassador, conferred again with Japanese leaders on the proposed peace treaty.
 In Washington, observers said the Truman administration knew it was in for a fight to the finish over the best strategy for victory in the Fal East.
 To meet the Macarthur challenge these observers said, the admins tration hoped to convince a major ity of Congress and the nation that MacArthur's key proposals of win ming victory by taking new military measures against Red China actually would create a serious danger Ot igniting World War III.
 The administrators fear is that bombing of Manchurian bases might bring Soviet Russia into the war. a risk it is not prepared to take just now. Macarthur implied it was 8 gamble worth taking.

CONTROVERSY
 5TART5 OVER MACS SPEECH
By Associated Press

Gen. MacArthurS fighting speech before Congress yesterday has split Washington in bitter controversy over Far Eastern policy that may continue on into the 1852 president ial elections.
 The controversy largely centered around the 71-year generals four point win-the-war program. He said his views on meeting the intervention of Chinese Commun- ists by widening the base of the conflict had in the past been shared by most military men, including the U. S. joint chiefs of staff.
 From Democrats as well as Re- publican lawmakers came demands that the joint chiefs of staff answer quickly whether they agree that the general, who says he has no political ambitions, has done his duty, and is about to fade away"
 The Truman administrations re- ply was prompt. A spokesman at the Pentagon said last night he had been authorized by the White House to declare that President Truman s action in firing Macarthur twas based upon the unanimous recom- mendations of the joint chiefs of staff"
 Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the top military policy group, told reporters at Chapel Hill, N. C., that as advisers to the President the joint chiefs render our advice to him on a military point of view"
 He added, without application, that "the question of General Mac Arthur's relief is primarily a po- litical one" In speech at Chicago this week Bradley in effect publicly rejected MacArthur's policies and supported those of the administra- tion.

MAIN BASE 0F|0FF|CER SAYS ], REDS TARGET MAC CAN BACK
 OF LIN BASE CONG. SPEECH
By RUSSELL BRINES

TOKYO, April 20 -IRl- A key staff officer said today General Macarthur could document fully his speech to Congress.
 Asked if Macarthur could provide proof of his remarks, the officer re- piled:
 "Of course, that will be the easiest part of it." He added:
 ''The big battle will come when he appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee to bring out the details"
 The disputed point of whether the joint chiefs of staff had expressed approval of MacArthurs views re- nained obscure. It was generally cit, however, that Macarthur would not have said so if he were unpre- pared to back up his statement.
 Key officers pointed out that many of the meetings between the visiting joint chiefs and MacAr- thur were held privately. At this headquarters only the general him. self knew what had been said.

LOGGING A55N.IS AGAINST EXPORT
 ALASKA SkWL0GS

The Alaska Logging Association is against export of sawlogs from Alaska, according to Wallace Vest fall. President. Westfall added that the present Alaska mills can take care of all logs that Alaska loggers can produce during the coming year. Export would eventually work to the disadvantage of local log gers. The better sawlog timber stands would be cut out leaving only poor shows at greater dis tance from the beach, thereby in- creasing costs.
 We're interested in Alaska mills, Alaska businessmen and Alaska de- velopment," Westfall stated. We aren't going to get the best type of development if sawlogs go out side"
 The Alaska Logging Association was formed last January. Members at present consist of loggers in the Juneau, Sitka and Wrangell areas. MT. L. F. Hiebert is Vice-president.
