Crisis Threatens Adenauer Regime
BONN — (UPI) — Police action against the news magazine Der Spiegel erupted today into a full-scale government crisis which threatened to unseat Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
Members of the coalition Free Democratic Party and the opposition Socialists, infuriated over the handling of the affair, were considering a demand for Adenauer's resignation.
Officially, police ransacked the magazine's offices in Bonn and Hamburg and arrested four employees including publisher Rudolf Augustin on suspicion it printed military secrets allegedly obtained from ranking military personnel through bribery.
But today the obscure trail of how the police action got started led to the door of Defense Minister Franz-Josef Strauss, who for years has been attacked by Spiegel.
During the past week, the defense ministry stubbornly has denied it knew anything about the action against Der Spiegel. An authoritative source said that Strauss' state secretary in the defense ministry, Volkmar Hopf, has admitted
giving the order to keep Justice Minister Wolfgang Stammberger uninformed.
The Social Democrats announced that as soon as possible they would force Strauss to appear before parliament to explain the action of his secretary.
The Free Democrats scheduled an executive meeting for tomorrow to decide on further action.
Sources said Strauss has brought libel actions against the magazine at least three times but failed each time.
Political sources said that Adenauer's scheduled talks with President Kennedy in Washington next Tuesday may be seriously impaired if overshadowed by an unsettled government crisis in Bonn.
The Free Democrats let it be known they may not be satisfied with the resignation of the persons involved in the police action, but may possibly demand that Adenauer resign and a new government be formed.
Stammberger has offered his resignation in protest against the police action against Der Spiegel.
Around the Campus Romanian Dancers Oler to Speak At Hoch Tonight On Children

Loram to Speak On German Drama
Prof. Loram who has published many articles on the modern German drama, will speak on "The Theater of Friedrich Durrennatt."
Ian C. Loram, professor of German, will be the next speaker for the KU Humanities Forum at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Oread Room of the Kansas Union.

"They only pay them lip service now," Ravenholt added.
He cited the shortage of food in China as one of the major factors contributing to the discontent of the Chinese people.
In the last 18-months, Ravenholt said, the Red Chinese rulers imported 18-tons of food. Despite such internal illies, the AUFS expert said he doubted a revolution in China in the near future.
He said that if the Nationalist forces attacked, it would be doubtful that the mainland Chinese would join with them until it was certain the Nationalist forces would prevail
Ravenholt will be on the campus until Nov. 7 to lecture classes in political science, economics and other areas on developments in Asia. The American Field Staff program is designed to bring up-to-date instruction directly from various areas of the world to the classroom.
Prof. Frances B. Oler of the State University College at Oswego, N.Y., will lecture on exceptional children at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow in Bailey Hall auditorium.
Professor Oler has worked extensively in the use of art with the cerebral palsied, mentally retarded and emotionally disturbed in schools for exceptional children in Atlanta, Go. She began the art program for children at the Speech and Hearing Clinic of Pennsylvania State University.
Prof. Oler has said, "We accept art as a natural and important means of expression for our normal children. I believe that for those who through physical, mental or emotional handicap are limited in some modes of expression, art can have particular value.
"From their art, the way they go about it as well as the results, we can better understand children, their personalities, concepts and problems."
Dickson Knocks UP Statewide Activities Plank
Halloween Hoods Hit Traffic Booth
Campus police reported this morning that the booth at 12th and Sunnyside was punctured with rocks and splattered with eggs.
Police have caught the students involved and they will appear before the dean of men. The damage was done at 12:01 this morning.
Halloween pranksters struck a KU traffic control booth last night.
Two windows were broken and the doors were punctured by a large rock.
"The Peace Corps," a documentary film, will be shown at 4:30 today in the Kansas Union. The 27-minute color film, narrated by Dave Garroway, shows Corps volunteers at work abroad.
Pranksters also topped the statue of Jimmy Green with a pumpkin.
Student Body President Jerry Dickson yesterday criticized a University Party plank which attacked the All Student Council Statewide Activities program.
Corps Film Shown Today
The UP plank states that Statewide Activities have been "ignored and grossly aborted" and it suggests the creation of a student speakers' bureau.
By Jackie Stern
Dickson, Newton senior and member of Vox. said:
Prof. John Ise to Speak
John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, will be the guest speaker at the University Women's Club meeting today. He will speak at 2 p.m. in the Watkins Room of the Kansas Union.
"The UP plank is of little value considering the fact its proposals are already in the process of going into operation."
"Letters have been written and plans are underway for a speakers' bureau which would send student leaders to Kansas high schools before and during Christmas vacation." Dickson said.
Stephen Stazel, Statewide Activities chairman and Denver, Colo. senior, said in a telephone interview that four recommendations have been made by his committee. These recommendations are:
PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS
- The change of duties of the county chairmen.
- The creation of a speakers bureau.
- The elimination of the Statewide Activities Convocation.
- The change of make-up in the Executive Board.
Stazel explained that county chairmen will be selected from applications which are to be turned in tomorrow.
He said the committee suggested the elimination of the out-of-state chairman to minimize the out-of-state program and re-emphasize the in-state program.
"This reorganization suggesting the speakers' bureau was read to the All Student Council last fall. I think everyone was—well aware the organization was being planned and—put into effect well before the UP platform." Stazel said.
Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior, speaking for the University Party, said in a telephone interview:
Whitman said the suggestion on Statewide Activities to include only Kansas was far more limited than he felt was necessary.
"What we had hoped to achieve," he added, "was a compensation of responsibility for representing the University in the hands of eight students who knew they had the responsibility of representing the University, not only in this state, but on this campus and throughout the nation."

The Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the physics prize for Soviet theoretician Lev Davidovic Landau for his pioneering work on extreme low temperature research on gases, especially helium.
DR. JOHN C. KENDREW, 45, and Dr. Max Perutz, 48, of Britain shared the Nobel Prize for chemistry.
STOCKHOLM — (UPI) — A 53-year-old Russian, crippled and nearly blinded by an auto accident, and two British scientists today were awarded Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry for 1962.
The two men who work together at the Cavendish laboratory, at Cambridge, England, share the prize of $50.043 for their studies on "The Structures of Globular Proteins."
Landau, still weak and ailing from a near-fatal auto accident in Russia last January, won an equal amount.
Three Awarded Nobel Prizes
Last month, the Swedish Nobel Committee awarded Nobel Prizes for literature and medicine.
STILL TO COME is the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize Award to be decided by the Norwegian parliament's Nobel Prize Committee. A spokesman today indicated a decision could come at any time — or may be delayed up to the Dec. 10 deadline.
RISK'S
ALTHOUGH hospitalized since January, Landau still is technically head of the Theoretical Department of the Institute of Physical Problems of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in Moscow.

LANDAU, THE FIRST Soviet scientist to win a Nobel Prize since 1958, was recognized for his theoretical researches into the behavior
of gases in the frigid world of absolute zero.
This is the point at which, theoretically all molecular motion ceases and is estimated at 459.7 degrees below zero farenheit (273.16 below zero centigrade).
Landau proved that helium gas could be brought to a point near absolute zero, the closest ever attained.
