William Allen White Honor to Paul Miller
Paul Miller, president of the Gannett group of newspapers, will give the 14th annual William Allen White Lecture Feb. 11.
Prior to the address, he will receive the William Allen White Foundation's national award for journalistic merit.
THE AWARD IS PRESENTED each year to a journalist in recognition of service to his profession and his community.
Miller started work on newspapers in Oklahoma at the age of 18 and has been in newspaper work for 38 years. He was graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1931, and in 1932 he joined the Associated Press at Columbus, Ohio. For 15 years he had assignments from coast to coast with that press service.
For a time in the 1930s he was news editor of the Kansas City bureau, and from 1942 to 1947 he was chief of the Washington bureau. From 1943 to 1947 he was an assistant general manager of the Associated Press.
In 1947 Miller joined the executive staff of the Gannett Newspapers. Since 1957 he has been president of the Gannett Company, Inc. He is a member of the Associated Press Board of Directors and the Pulitzer Prize Board. He is chairman of the advisory board of the American Press Institute at Columbia University and was 1962 honorary president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism society.
LAST YEAR HE WAS ONE OF a group of American editors who attracted world attention with its reporting of a tour of Russia and a group interview with Khrushchev at the Kremlin.
The William Allen White Lecture each year is a part of the Foundation's annual commemoration of the late Emporia editor's birthday. Mr. White, who won fame as editor of the Emporia Gazette and as a participant in public affairs, was born Feb. 10, 1868. The program is being held this year on Monday. Feb. 11, because it was not considered feasible to hold the events, including the meeting of the Foundation's board, on Sunday.
Other commemorative events will include the presentation of the foundation's tenth annual citation to a Kansas editor and an informal dinner sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, men's and women's professional journalism societies.
Current Students To Get No New ID
Unless you misplace or mutilate your KU-ID card, you won't get another one—ever.
William Kelly, assistant registrar, announced yesterday that the university will issue no new identification cards next semester to students who already have them. Any student without an ID may replace it prior to enrollment by paying a $4 service charge.
AEC Gives Grant To KU Professors
The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) has awarded a $111,300 grant to three KU physics professors to continue their investigation of nuclear properties of light elements.
This is the fifth year for the study which has been under the direction of Ralph W. Krone, professor of physics, and Frances W. Prosser jr., assistant professor of physics.
This year it has been enlarged to include the research of L. Worth Seagondollar, professor of physics, whose work in previous years has been supported by the Office of Naval Research and lately the National Science Foundation.
Nine graduate students and four undergraduate students are assisting in the project. The graduate students are: Theresa Ross, Eudora; Richard Moore, Wellington; Denny Watson, Lawrence; R. Mack Roberts, Lawrence; Fred Wilson, Murray, Ky.; Don Filburn, Springfield, Ill.; Floyd D. Lee, Hays; Bryan Wildenthal, Lawrence, and Jean O'Dell, Lawrence.
The undergraduate students are David Hamilton, Hutchinson junior; William Cunningham, Bethel freshman; James Hesser, Wichita senior, and James Engelland, Sterling senior.

Mummy Stolen From Coffin
EXETER, England — (UPI)
Museum officials yesterday opened the coffin of an Egyptian Princess,
donated in 1872, which was said to contain precious jewels. Inside was a male mummy and no jewelry.
"The princess and jewels were probably removed from the coffin early in the last century and sold separately," curator Anthony Adams said.
AN ID CARD is required at enrollment.
"We are not so much concerned with the $4." Mr. Kelly said. "We only want to impress students with the need to take care of the cards."
A student's present number will follow him through his KU career, no matter how many years that may take.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT for a student to report the loss of his ID card promptly to the registrar's office, Mr. Kelly said.
As soon as he receives a report, the registrar sends a notice to the librarians and union cashiers and others on campus who regularly check ID's. Some downtown merchants also get notices.
KU students not enrolled for the fall semester will receive a new card at enrollment.
The duplicate card carries the word "duplicate," making the original void to any other student.
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Negotiations in the month-old newspaper strike were in indefinite recess today with no sign of a break in the dispute that has shut down the city's nine major dailies.
After a fruitless 90-minute negotiating session yesterday, the Publishers Association of New York asked federal mediators for an indefinite recess in parleys with striking printers.
A modern legend of love, passion and violence!
AMORY BRADFORD, chief negotiator for the publishers, said "further meetings would only raise false hopes" on the part of workers in the industry.

NY News Strike Continues While Meetings Recess
A spokesman for Local 6 of the International Typographers' Union said, "The publishers made it clear that they do not desire to meet with the mediators and us until further notice," or until the union "comes prepared to discuss proposals within the framework" of the papers' economic capabilities.
Another of the Great . . .
Bertram Powers, president of Local 6, said the publishers threatened to lower the offer already made unless the printers reduced their demands. "The publishers are not going to dictate to us," he said. "We don't want them to tell us what our proposals must be."
THE LAST REPORTED offer made by the publishers was for a package of $9.20 per man per week over a two week period; the printers have asked a package of $38 per man per week for the same period.
Robert Gale, a Hungarian violinist told how a long-awaited debut at Carnegie Hall had been postponed from Jan. 21 to March 13 because of the strike. A performer, he said, must rent the hall with his own funds and count on publicity to bring enough listeners so that the investment can be recouped. He feared that if the strike continued into March he would not be able to make the debut.
