Auto Strikes And Kills Child of Campus Pastor
A former University of Kansas engineering student was involved in an accident which resulted in the death of a four-year-old boy Monday night.
The accident occurred east of Strong Avenue on Crescent, about a block and a half west of the Chi Omega fountain.
Killed was Mark C. Johnson, son of Rev. and Mrs. David G. Johnson of 1506 Crescent Drive. Rev. Johnson is the campus pastor of the Lutheran Church.
Merl Dean Rexford, 19, of Meade told investigating officers that he was traveling between 15 and 20 miles per hour when the accident happened. He said he did not see the youngster until just before the accident.
Witnesses said the youngster ran out into the street from in front of a parked car.
The impact threw the youth approximately 50 feet. He apparently landed on his head causing extensive head injuries.
The Johnson family moved to Lawrence this past August. Rev. Johnson is a member of the National
Lutheran Council. The parsonage at 1506 Crescent Drive was only recently purchased by the Lutheran Student Association.
Rexford was a KU freshman last year, but has not re-enrolled this all and has not indicated he will do so.
Kennedy Question Draws Record Vote
BOSTON — (UPI)—Massachusetts Democrats were voting in apparent record numbers today on the issue of whether 30-year-old Edward M. Kennedy is too young and inexperienced to sit in the United States Senate.
The President's youngest brother is a slight favorite to defeat Edward J. McCormack, 39-year-old nephew of House Speaker John McCormack for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator. Rain clouds blew out to sea early and a mild temperature made voting conditions ideal. The total vote may go past 1.1 million. Teddy and Eddie both voted at 8:30 a.m., but in different sections of the city.
The conference on Soviet agricultural and peasant affairs, to be held here Thursday through Saturday, will be the basis for the first publication of a collection of scholarly work devoted to Soviet agriculture.
Soviet Conference To Publish Studies
It is indicated that the ministers of the Soviet agricultural academy, studying American agriculture under auspices of the U.S., will not attend the conference. Russian agricultural officials were invited to visit the conference when it was learned their U.S. tour would coincide with the conference.
The published work will consist of the combined studies of the 18 conference participants and will be edited by Roy D. Laird, assistant professor of political science and director of the conference. The book is expected to be published in a few months.
The conference on Soviet agricultural and peasant affairs is the first major conference on Soviet agriculture. Each participant is an expert on some aspect of agriculture in the U.S.S.R. and will present his particular study to the conference.
An official of the Agricultural Department has said that the itinerary of the visiting Soviet ministers of agriculture probably would not allow them to attend. Some members of the conference, though, have hinted that with the present situation of Soviet economy, it would be embarrassing for the Soviet officials.
The conference will explore five aspects concerning Soviet economy; the politico-economic setting, the socio-economic setting, the physical setting, the problem of Russian statistics and applied agricultural policies.
The conference will begin at 9 a.m. Thursday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. The conference is open to the public and is purposely held at this time so that interested students might attend.
