Lieut.. General Matthew
Ridgeway thinks that only a

the Korean war is not in sight
unless such a settlement is
reached.
The general warned the al

munism. There is nothing tran
STORY, nothing temporary
about the communist determi-
nation to destroy us complete

Maryland U. 10 Sell
Bonds for Dormitories
BY the A.soeluied Pres,

The University of Marylands
Board of Regents has turned down
a proposal of the university pres
ident. DR.. H. C. Byrd, to ask the
State Legislature for 81 million
for new dormitories.
The regents tentatively decided
yesterday to try to finance the
proposed construction work under
their newly-won power to issue
revenue bonds on the authority
'of the university.
DR.. Byrd had suggested with
drawing dormitories from the
bonding proposal because he said
the bonds would be easier to
finance because of the low revenue
yield of dormitories.
The board decided. however, to
try to work out a $4 million bond
ing plan with the dormitories
included.
In addition to dormitories, the
bonding program includes a COM
bination physical education build
ing and auditorium. 10 fraternity
and sorority houses and student
union buildings in College Park
and Baltimore.
DR.. Byrd also mentioned as q
third possibility that Federal funds
might be used to build the dormi-
