came up with new coaches.
Young. who also was athletic
director at Furman, was the only
one of the five to as much as
break even this season. Taylor
had a 1870 record at Oregon
State, Witucki 0-11-0 at Tulsa
and Benz $3.50 at Norwich.
Pittsburgh lost three straight un-
der Dawson before Athletic
Director Tom Hamilton took
charge. Young's Purple Hurri-
canes broke even in 10 games.
Danowski's resignation caught
Fordham officials completely by
surprise. Although the Rams had
won only one and tied one of
their nine games this fall, the
former Fordham and New York
Giants star had given no indica-
ton he was planning on stepping
out.
Although Danowski was not
available for comment, his wife
said he hoped to remain in the
coaching profession. Athletic Di-
rector Jack Coffey said no con-
sideration had been given as to
DanowSki's successor but the
matter probably would be dis
cussed at today's meeting of the
athletic council.

sometimes only tantamount to
stopping them temporarily.
"They subsequently turn up
under various guises and with
pseudo respectable fronts in re-

 The new book is English -Eski- mo. A French Eskimo version is planned.

Syngman Rhee Proposes US. Back Asian Army of Two Million Men
 In "Counterattack" on Red China

WASHINGTON, R - So u th Korean President Syngman Rhee proposed today that an Asian army of more than two million men, backed by US. guns, planes and ships, launch a counter attack" on Communist China.
 In a speech before a joint ses- sion of Congress, the fiery 79- year-old Korean leader said: "Let us remember that peace cannot be restored in the world half Communist and half demo- cratic.
 "Your momentous decision is needed now to make Asia safe for freedom, for that will automati- cally settle the world Communist problem in Europe, Africa and America"
 Rhee told Congress the essence of Soviet strategy for world con- quest is to Hull Americans into a "sleep of death by talking peace until the Soviet Union possesses enough hydrogen bombs and in tercontinental bombers to pulver- ize the airfields and productive centers of the United States by .oo,I1 ott o1> O
 Rhee has long advocated re- suming hostilities in Korea to drive the Communists out of the northern half of his divided land. But this appeared to be the first time he proposed an all-out at tack on the Chinese mainland it. self.
 He did not call for the use of US. foot soldiers.
 "The American air force as well as the navy would be needed to insure the success of the counter attack on the Red Chinese re- gime," Rhee said, adding: "But let me repeat, no American foot soldiers"
 And, the South Korean leader asserted:
 "The Soviet Union will not stop of its own volition. It must be stopped"
