Birchers Uncertain About KU Organizational Meeting
An organizer of the John Birch Society said last night that he cannot give a definite date for the organization of a Lawrence-KU chapter of the Society.
In a telephone interview, Kent Steffgen, national coordinator, said from Kansas City the Society will eventually try to hit every city and town in the country.
IN THE SEPT. 14 KANSAN, Mr.
Steffgen said he would be coming to
Lawrence to form a chapter of the
Society.
Questioned about names of interested persons in Lawrence, he said there were a few. Clarifying his
Author-Humorist Thurber Dies
NEW YORK — (UPI) — In death, the boy who roamed the streets of Columbus, Ohio, as Jamie Thurber will return to that midwestern well spring of his humor — his talent now compared with that of Mark Twain.
James Thurber died late yesterday at 66. The author-humorist cartoonist-playwright had entered Doctors Hospital a month ago for surgery for a blood clot on the brain. Pneumonia set in this week.
BURIAL WAS SCHEDULED in the Thurber family plot in Columbus, the town where he was born "on a night of wild portent and high wind in the year 1894" and grew up amid a family of glorious eccentricity, which had a passion for the Civil War and dogs — one of which bit the lieutenant-governor of Ohio but was immediately, according to his mother, sorry.
A modest, even self-deprecatory, man. Thurber once noted that his birthplace at 147 Parsons Ave. had no plaque and was never pointed out to visitors.

answer, he said there are patriots in every city.
"We try to make people read and make up their own minds," he said. "If the President had given the Society an endorsement, we would be stamped with memberships, and it would take several years to weed out the people we couldn't use."
He said there would be no advance notice of a meeting in Lawrence.
ADMISSION ONLY 75c
HE ADDED THAT the Society was out for the conservative-minded person. The more liberals the Society could keep out of the first meeting, the better, he said.
Mr. Steffgen said he is now setting up chapters of the Society in Kansas City and the surrounding area.
He said the John Birch Society did not want publicity from either a favorable or unfavorable press. He said most papers have received a bad impression of the Society because of radicals on the fringe calling the papers giving false information.
LONDON—(UPI)—Princess Margaret, Britain's 31-year-old "little sister," safely gave birth today to her first child—a healthy boy—at the Clarence House residence of Queen Mother Elizabeth.

Japanese Laundry Priest
HOKKAIDO, Japan — (UPI) — Father Christopher K. Maino, a Maryknoll missionary from Detroit, sometimes confuses his Japanese parishioners.
Maino drives a jeep once the property of an American news correspondent. The vehicle still has a large red sticker on the windshield bearing the word PRESS. The Japanese who can read English often mistake Maino for a laundry operator.
