Dollar Due for Tough Days in House
By Lyle C. Wilson
WASHINGTON - (UPI) The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar will enjoy little protection from the new management of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The new management will succeed the late manager, Speaker Sam Rayburn. Mr. Sam did not give the U.S. buck much protection either. Rep. John W. McCormack (D-Mass.) is slated to succeed Rayburn as speaker. Rep. Richard Bolling (D-Mo.) is contesting Rep. Carl Albert (D-Okla.) for the House Democratic leadership, the job from which McCormack will be promoted to the speakership.
CARL ALBERT looks like the winner of that one. There are several sound reasons why Albert is
Campus Chest Drive Nears
Organizing and publicizing a drive such as Campus Chest takes lots of time and hard work.
To insure that the drive will be in everyone's mind, the committee has been working since early October appointing solicitors, writing letters, gathering informational material, and planning publicity.
The Dukes of Dixieland will kick off the drive with a concert at 8 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium. Tickets are on sale this week for $1.50. Proceeds will go to the drive.
THE COMMITTEE IS ASKING students and faculty members to consider the concert as entertainment and not as a contribution to Campus Chest.
"The concert is our way of thanking the students in advance for the support we know they'll give us during the drive," said Philip McKnight, Wichita junior and Campus Chest publicity chairman.
"Our biggest job is to make sure everyone knows the drive is going on," McKnight said. "We're not trying to pressure people into giving; we're trying to inform them so they'll want to give.
"WE TRIED TO GET RESPONsible people for solicitors, because it's a very important job. The success of the drive, to a large extent, rests on the solicitors.
"It operates like the community chest in that people are asked to donate only once instead of being asked to donate to each separate charity," he said.
The largest portion of the funds raised during the drive will go to the World University Service. Other national charities, such as CARE and the cancer fund, will also receive part of the proceeds.

more likely than Bolling to be elected leader of the House Democrats. The best summary of all those reasons was stated by Raymond Lahr, chief political writer for United Press International. Lahr said:
"Mr. Sam died about five years too soon for Bolling."
And that is about it. Bolling is a comer, no doubt about that, but Albert already has arrived. On the Rayburn-McCormack team, Carl Albert was Democratic whip. The whip is the man responsible for (A) knowing how all House Democrats will vote on a given matter and (B) seeing to it that they are present and voting when the roll is called.
Hard-money conservatives rate the prospective new Democratic management of the House as a wasteful management, careless of the taxpayers' dollars. They are big spenders, Bolling equally with Albert, so it would make not much difference which of them succeeded to the House Democratic leadership.
Whether McCormack, Albert & Co. are, in fact, wasteful of the taxpayers' dollars depends, of course, on the point of view. That they are
big spenders in the New Deal, Fair Deal, New Frontier tradition is a matter of the record. The hardmoney conservative judgment of these top Democrats is harsh. It is most forcibly expressed in an analysis of their voting records by an organization called Americans for Constitutional Action (ACA).
ACA is unlunate fringe outfit. Its trustees include retired Admiral Ben Boreeell, chairman; Charles Edison, a secretary of Navy in a Roosevelt cabinet; Edgar Eisenhower, you know who's brother; and former President Herbert Hoover. ACA analyzed votes over a period of years on issues which it interpreted as raising the question whether the vote would be for sound money and against inflation or the reverse.
FROM THE STANPOINT of ACA, top score would be 100 per

cent for a congressman who voted in all instances for sound money and against inflation. Some members of Congress score 100 per cent. On those issues, ACA graded McCormack at zero. Bolling scored four and Albert seven per cent.
In another category, "for economy and against waste," McCormack rated another zero. Bolling's grade was six and Albert's 10 per cent.
Laredo Cancels KU Concert Engagement
Grant Johannesen, American pianist, will play in KU's Concert Course tonight in place of Jaime Laredo, Bolivian violinist, who was forced to cancel because of a virus infection.
Mr. Johannesen will play Beethoven's Sonata in E flat, Prelude Chorale and Fugue by Franck, two pieces by Faure, and Prokofieff's Sonata No. 7.

Nehru Protests Red Chinese Aggression
New Delhi, India — (UPI) — Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru disclosed yesterday that India had accused Communist China of fresh aggression on India's northern frontier. He said India would protect its territory by "warfare" if necessary.
Nehru released to Parliament the text of a note sent to Peiping charging that Communist Chinese troops were strengthening their military positions in Ladakh — bordering Tibet — where 10 Indians were killed in a border clash two years ago.
what's pure research?
Distinguished from that which has practical application, pure research is concerned with the discovery of fundamental knowledge to widen man's understanding of himself and the universe.
Ford Motor Company's Scientific Laboratory in Dearborn, Michigan is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge in the physical sciences. On its staff are scientists of national and international reputation who conduct independent basic research programs of an extremely broad nature.
Why does Ford Motor Company support research which seemingly is unrelated to the manufacture of its products?
It is our view, and a pioneering concept in our industry, that entirely new approaches to automotive development can come only from unhampered scientific investigation. Deeper understanding of matter itself, and of the conversion and storage of energy-aside from widening man's primary knowledge-may have practical application in tomorrow's vehicle design.
Thus knowledge wrested from nature by scientists will be taken by technologists and applied to serve practical needs and desires. Another example of Ford's leadership through scientific research and engineering.
