Sukarno in Tokyo For Malaysia Talks
TOKYO—(UPI)—President Sukarao of Indonesia arrived today for talks with Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy on the Malaysia dispute, which threatens to flare into open war.
President Johnson is sending Kennedy here to represent the U.S. case against Sukarno's policy of "confrontation" against Malaysia, the British Commonwealth Federation on Indonesia's borders.
Kennedy is expected here early Thursday, Japanese time, and the talks may begin on Friday.
The attorney general is expected to tell Sukarno that Indonesia is risking both peace in Southeast Asia and the loss of U.S. friendship and aid if it continues its anti-Malaysia campaign.
Indonesia says that confrontation means pressing for a peaceful settlement of its objections to Malaysia, which it charges represents British colonialism in a new guise.
BUT MALAYSIA accuses Indonesia of sending terrorists on border raids on the island of Borneo, which the two nations share, and of shooting down Malaysian planes along the border.
The Philippines also has territorial claims on Borneo and has withheld recognition of Malaysia for this reason, but it gave no support to increased militancy to get its way. The result of the meeting was a proposal for three-way talks to include Malaysia.
Plans for the Sukarno-Kennedy meetings have not been disclosed, although a U.S. embassy spokesman said Kennedy would be away from Washington for a week.
JAPAN MAY make diplomatic efforts during the talks to persuade Sukarno to make peace with Malaysia. The Japanese government has offered itself as a mediator, and Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda will meet Sukarno tomorrow.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital, a spokesman for Prime Minister Tengku Abdul Rahman said the government would be following with interest the discussions in Tokyo.
The newspaper, Straits Times, in Singapore, another Malaysian city, reported that Britain has protested against the sale of American rifles to Indonesia.
THE NEWSPAPER said a late-model U.S. riffle was captured from an Indonesian terrorist on New Year's Day. It said there was evidence the rifle had been sold directly to Indonesia by a U.S. company "after President Sukarno launched his confrontation against Malaysia."

New Professor To Join Faculty
An anthropologist who specializes in political systems will join the KU department of sociology and anthropology next semester.
He is Dr. Keith Otterbein, who will become an assistant professor. An applied anthropologist, he worked last year in Washington, D.C. with the Special Operations Research Office, a unit of the federal government.
At KU Dr. Otterbein will teach in the areas of social and political anthropology, primitive war and primitive law. His courses next semester are primitive society, an upperclass level course, and an honors section of man and culture, at the freshman-sophomore level.
Otterbein has had research experience in the Caribbean area and has published, papers on features of the cultures of Andros Islanders there. He received his doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh in 1963 and the bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1959.
Dirty Clothes A Real Problem Without Mom
There is one problem at KU that seniors as well as freshmen must face every week in their college careers.
It starts as a small, little thing until it is piled so high that it becomes an insurmountable mess—of dirty clothes.
COUNTLESS students have found just as many ways to get around the situation. Some simply send it home to "good-hearted Mom" who realizes her busy child doesn't have the time to spend on such tasks. Others are more cunning, and manage to slip a pair of personal belongings into roommate's laundry bag.
Several helpful fraternity men once solved a brother's laundry problems by pouring black dye into the washing machine that contained pillowcases, sheets, shorts, T-shirts, and socks.
Thereafter, he never had problems with blue-magic whiteners that didn't do the job.
THEENHERE is the theory of one GSP woman. She believes that her clothes will get "umpleten times" as clean if she uses half a bottle of liquid detergent instead of the suggested capful. Needless to say, the janitors and maintenance men for the machines disa gree with her.
A young mother, who is also a KU student, has solved the dual problem of washing her baby and
the laundry. She tries to do them at the same time in one machine.
lege students have contemplated something to do while the machines run their washing cycles. They have hit upon the idea of riding the clothes drivers.
She hit upon that revolutionary idea one day when her baby fell into the wash machine. While his chubby legs were threshing to get out, she calmly asked, "Does anybody have two dimes? I couldn't get him to take his bath this morning." Fortunately no one offered her the coins.
ACROSS THE nation other coltigation will be presented to the ASC in the form of recommendations.
That idea was so fascinating to one New Jersey student that he rode it for 35 minutes, which is the record for dryer riders. That just happens to be another answer to the major problem of dirty clothes.
Little Hoover Commission To Work Next Semester
The "Little Hoover Commission," set up by Reuben McCornack, student body president, in November, has failed to function as quickly as expected, due to administrative changes.
The commission was to be headed by Tom Tatlock, Wichita senior, but an illness caused his resignation. Scott Linscott, Topeka junior, has since been named by McCornack to succeed Tatlock as chairman.
"The commission will begin full-scale operation at the beginning of second semester," Linscott said. "The purpose of the commission was to review The All Student Council committee system, and this will be done."
LINSCOTT has called for a meeting Feb. 5 to begin work on the ASC review. The study will be completed sometime during second semester.

"The results of the study could have no appreciable effect, or they could cause several of the committees to be completely revised," Linscott said.
"There has been a need for a Hoover Commission report for several years," Bob Stewart, Bartlesville junior and committee member, said. "The University Party has been advocating a strengthening of the ASC committee system in its party platform, and I am glad to see the student body president has recognized the need for an investigation."
Other members of the commission are: Bob Steffen, Staten Island, N.Y., graduate student; Bob Tieszen, Newton senior; Susan Hartley, Atwood sophomore; and Mike Miner, Lawrence junior.
