Beta Sigma Phi

On Friday, February g, the Al aska Kappa chapter of Beta Sig ma Phi held its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Louise Hay. Due to the absence of the president, Ruth Mclean, and the vice-presi- dent, Donna Modrow, the meeting was called to order by the record ing secretary, Miss Eileen Uttech.
 A discussion was carried on concerning the inviting of guests to our next meeting which is to be held at the home of Mrs. Karon Baldwin. Election of officers pro- duced the following results:
 President: Louise Hay; vice president, Terry Fischer; record ing secretary, Ellen Waldhelm; corresponding secretary, Ruth Mclean, and treasurer, M ary Roell.
 After the business meeting the two speakers for the evening, Miss Eileen Uttech and Mrs. Car oline Reader were introduced by the program chairman, Terry Fischer.
 Mrs. Reader gave very inform ing and well-presented speech on Speaking. Posture in standing md going before an audience greatly indicates the attitude of the speaker. She introduced the correct use and importance of gestures of the hands and body in accentuating points of the speech. This, she said, is regulated by the group to whom one is speaking, since the more cultured the group the less gestures are required to hold attention. Many other help full points were brought out and will be observed by the members in their future talks.
 Miss Uttech gave very inter esting talk on the recent trip which she made to various villa ges outside of Nome as a repres- entative of the District Welfare office. She told of some of the in- teresting incidents which hap penned on this trip and something of the home and religious life of the natives. We are glad to have Eileen back with us again.
 After the meeting delicious cherry pie and coffee were served to carry out the motif of the week. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. Karon Baldwin, who baked the delicious pies.

(The Christian Science Monitor) General Eisenhower in his report to Congress has answered the chief questions the American people have had about the defense of Europe His answers carry all the weight of firsthand in- vestigaton by who through his professional ices and personal qualities has the confidence of the American people in superlative degree. He has ap- preached the questions frankly from the standpoint of the good of the United States Isoationsts will not find it easy to attack his those of "do- gooder" or ust another Europe-lover Let's take his testimony.
 As to the importance of Western Europe to America:
 "The Western European complex is so important to our future that we cannot afford to do less than our best to make it does not go down the drain.
 As to whether the United States allies will defend themselves:
 "There is spirit to resist. There is determina- tion to do their part-to take the risk. AS to timing.
 There is not moment to waste.
 As to the purpose of -arming Europe
 "We are going to build for ourselves secure wall of peace. What we are trying to do cannot hon. esty be considered by any nation a threat to its existence
 As to a sound attitude toward the Europeans:
 Have patience with our allies. Some of their problems very great.
 As to the effect of abandoning Europe:
 If were left standing alone, isolated in world of communism, system would Wither away.
 The Eisenhower report will leave little ground for "de-hard' opposition to early and ample aid in the defense of Europe. On particularly debated point the generals statement should facilitate reasonable solution He said Europes immediate need more for than men, and that American troops should be sent in ratio to the forces supplied by European nations A man is usually known by the company he keeps away from.

Korean Situation
Monday. March ls. 1851
 By the Associated Press

South Korean troops swam the chilly Hongchon river in central Korea today in pursuit of commu-l mist forces pulling back toward the 38th Parallel.
 The Republic of Korea RoD soldiers were spearheading the central front drive of the US. 9th Army which has set up strong forces in holding line only IF miles south of the politically sens tive parallel.
 ''There was no stopping those Rok troops" said military spokesman. "They swan the cold river rather than wait for boats to ferry them across in the north ward drive.
 "They were just lot of eager beavers"
 The same Rok troops trapped and annihilated a Chinese Com munist battalion Sunday.
 The Army broke three-day silence to announce that holding elements were IT miles from the parallel at five undisclosed points and patrols were probing "miles north" of these points and in all other sectors.
 Are the United Nations trying to cross the 38th Parallel in force once more? The question is a knotty one for the U. N. Britain is urging cautious consideration with the hope of achieving a peace. U. N. Under-secretary- General Trygve Lie thinks that it may be possible to get cease-fire now without linking it to Red China's demands for admission to the JUN. or surrender of Formosa. The JUN. victories in the field may strengthen it's hand in any negotiations.

Lifting The Lid At Juneau

OOASC<AO, VI AAS~S S~ the territorial legislature ex- changed sneers Friday night, as irritability appeared to be rising with the approach of the sessions end.
 The Senate started the argu- m ment with a message to the House at the instigation of Nome Democrat Howard Lyng. The mes age declared the Senate would neither receive no consider any more House bills until the House started acting on Senate bills.
 The House countered with a message concluding, "We respect the work of the Senate and leave fully suggest the Senate attend to the work of the House to the House."
 The general territorial salary increase bill, which led Anchor age Republican Gerrit Snider's walkout after it passed the Senate Thursday, died at the House door today.
 The civilian defense bill came from the Senate Finance Commit tee yesterday without recommen- .dation by two Senators, with one "don't pass" recommendation and a recommendation by Lyng that only $25O,00O be appropriated.
 The bill is aimed at undercut- ting the influence of Republican leader Albert White, charged by political opponents with virtually controlling the selection of na- tional convention candidates. It is slated for a final vote Monday.
 Engebreth asked for the floor on personal privilege and charged:
 Without personal animosity, l want to say that this is case where the will of the majority un- allowed prevailed"
 He referred to Albert White, general counsel for the Republi- can party of Alaska as 'fBoss White" and alleged Engstrom was prejudiced because he is chair man of the Alaska Republican central committee (which would have it's teeth pulled out by the bill"
 He charged "one man, Boss White, controls the delegation to the national convention. He has votes in his pocket. He deals with Taft Rep. Sen. from Ohio) and others and says I have three votes from Alaska"
 He said that if the nation goes Republican Boss White will make all federal appointments in Alas ka. am glad to see that most Democrats went along for the bill because this is above party. poli- tics.'
