The revision, as indicated by
Morris ChandrosS, assistant to the

leave unchanged the requirements

BY the Associated Press

BERLIN. Sept. 27.-Bishop Otto
Dibelius, head of the Protestant
Church for All Germany, has ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Mos
cow late next month, his personal
secretary said last night.
The invitation was extended by
Metropolitan Nikolai of the Rus

of a surprise to church circles in
view of the Soviet and German
Communist criticism levelled at
Bishop Dibelius for being pro-
Western. Bishop Dibelius, how
ever, gave his approval when Pas

Church leader in Germany, made
a visit to Moscow at the first of

Corning Rejects Use Of
Miner College Seniors
To Meet Shortage

Board of Education leaders have
proposed assigning teachers COL
lege students to the Districts S
Negro schools as an alternative
to a new teacher shuttle to meet
the teacher shortage.
But Supt. Hobart M. Corning
has turned thumbs down on the
idea. Board President G. Melvin
Sharpe said today.
The suggestion was made by
Vice President Albert E. Steinem
in a memorandum to DR.. Corning
yesterday. Mr.. Sharpe also dis
cussed it with the superintendent.
DR.. Corning on Wednesday an
nounced plan to merge some
white grade school classes and
shift senior high counselors to
classrooms. Mr.. Steinem sug-
gested assigning Miner Teachers
College seniors to classrooras until
February instead.
DR.. Corning objected that it
would be unfair to the college stu
dents, since they could not be
paid, Mr.. Sharpe said. But the
board president declared:
I'D feel that in the extreme
emergency if the proper appeal
was made to the students, there'd
be a readiness to serve without
being paid"
Mr.. Steinem said he thought the
students would welcome the ex-

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Nov
22.-Soviet-bossed Poland, which
had been expected to give the Red
reaction to India's compromise
Korean peace plan, suddenly de-
cided this morning not to speak
in the United Nations 60-nation
Political Committee.
Poland has already spoken once
on the Korean question and said
Wednesday that the next time
would be to comment on the In
dian proposals. The Soviet satel-
lite said last night it was ready,
but apparently Warsaw-and in
ferentially the Kremlin-decided
overnight it was not yet prepared
either to endorse or condemn the
Indian initiative.
Poland is one of the four coun-
tries which the Indian plan would
have take over the problem of
dealing with prisoners of war.
The Communist Daily Worker,
published in New York, took an
ambiguous attitude toward the
Indian plan today.
1t hailed its peaceful intent"
but said there was a Washing
ton-inspired maneuver" to take it
over and use it to block a Korean
truce.
The Worker. however, published
statement by Vito Marcantonio
chairman of the American Labor
Party, calling on his party's men,
berS to urge President Truman
and President-elect Eisenhower to
accept the proposals.
"The Indian proposal" Mr..
Marcantonio's statement said, "is
a proposal that should be accepted
by all parties"
All delegations have become
more and more conscious that,
despite back-stage maneuvers on
the plan among the Western AL
lies in the U. NJ, the success or
failure of Indias peace move
hinged completely on whether
Russia and her satellites approve
it.
Yesterday a gloomy dispatch
from Moscow quoted Soviet news
papers as saying the Indian plan
was not the correct way to settle
the prisoner-of-war deadlock.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky would not comment on
this. But he said he probably
would have something to say
about the Indian proposal later.
He is expected to wait until after
