Mother Stays Calm In Search for Son
An anxious but calm mother waited today at her home in Olathe for word of her son, a KU chemical engineering student missing since Friday.
"I just don't have any idea of what has happened to him," Mrs. conn W. Burns said this morning.
John W. Burns Jr., a 20-year-old junior, was last seen friends with whom he had been on a double date.
The local investigation has pieced together this information concerning the student's last known whereabouts:
Burns, who moved this semester from the Phi Kappa Tau house to an apartment he shared with three other students, went on a double-date Friday to the Stables.
LOCAL LAW enforcement officers have sent out a four state missing person bulletin for the KU student.
The couples returned home shortly before midnight. Burns and his date were left at a home where she was staying. Burns left his date and apparently walked the short distance to his own apartment, where his car was parked. That was the last time he was seen.
He was to drive his red and white 1955 station wagon home Saturday to trade it for another family car. He never arrived there.
MRS. BURNS said she doubted that her son was worried or disturbed about anything. She said he complained earlier in the semester about not making good grades, but later told her his grades had picked up after he dropped three hours.
"He was a real serious and quiet

WICKED LAS VEGAS:
IS IT TRUE THAT ANYTHING GOES? "We've got bank vice presidents who come to gamble, people with women who are not their wives!" So says a Las Vegas businessman. Where do they draw the line? In this week's Post, you'll read the shocking story—"How Wicked is Veeas?"
The Saturday Evening POST
Several friends and relatives who live in the Lawrence and Topeka area have been contacted. They report not having seen the youth.
Burns' bed appeared not to have been slept in over the weekend and as near as could be determined he took no extra clothes when he left.
sort of person. I can't imagine where he is," the mother said.
When last seen, he was wearing a brown suede jacket, brown sweater and cotton slacks. Burns is about 5' 7" tall and has blond curly hair.
KU students planning to travel by air after Dec. 15 might have to use the train instead—the air lines are canceling their youth rates.
Youth Travel Rates Canceled by Airlines
American Airlines, which introduced a youth fare last summer notified the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) it will cancel its fare plan Dec. 15.
Trans World Airlines and Delta Airlines filed their cancellation notices at the same time. All other trunk airlines already have canceled their youth fares.
The youth-fare plan permitted persons between the ages of 13 and 22 to travel at half the regular first class fare on a no-reservation basis.
At a recent meeting with CAB members, presidents of the airlines told of abuses of the fare by young people. They said youths gave their tickets to older persons and made multiple first class reservations, not intending to use them but to make certain plenty of space would be available for youth fare travelers.
The All Student Council will meet at 7:30 tonight in the Meadowlark Room of the Kansas Union to continue the budget discussion and to take up new business.
