Faculty Members Named To Head 3 Departments
The appointment of three new department chairmen was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
They are William Conboy, assistant professor, chairman of the speech and drama department; A. W. Davidson, professor, chairman of the chemistry department, and Leland J. Pritchard, professor, chairman of the economics department.
They were approved Friday by the Board of Regents in Topeka.
Replaces Crafton
"It's like a new coach inheriting a winning football team with all of the starting lineup, so to speak. We shall try to continue to expand and improve as the department has done under Dr. Crafton," Prof. Conboy said.
When asked if there would be any changes in the department, Mr. Conboy replied with an emphatic 'No!'
Dr. Davidson succeeds R. K. Brewster, professor of chemistry, who also retires because of the age limit.
**REQUIRES**
Mr. Company teaches Allen Crafton, professor of speech, who retires under the 65 age limit rule. He will teach for five more years until he reaches the mandatory 70-year retirement age.
"There will be no changes," Dr. Davidson said. "I will be glad to maintain the high level of efficiency and rate of progress the department showed under Dr. Brewster."
To Replace Axe
Dr. Pritchard will take Dean Leonard H. Axe's place in the economics department. Dean Axe, who has served as both head of the School of Business and the economics department will devote his full time to the School of Business.
"Yes, there will be certain changes." Dr. Prifard said.
"When two schools are separated it means that certain changes can and should be made in the curriculum. Those changes aren't definite now, however, and will come about over a period of time. The faculty are the ones who must decide what changes are needed."
Union Shop OKd By Supreme Court
WASHINGTON (UP)—The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that the union shop is legal in the railroad industry—even in states which have outlawed the union shop.
It held that the federal Railway Labor Act, which authorizes union shop agreements, takes precedence over the conflicting "right to work" laws now on the books of 18 states.
Partly cloudy west, fair east this afternoon, tonight and Tuesday. Turning cooler northwest Tuesday. Low tonight 50s extreme northwest to 60s southeast. High Tuesday 80s northwest to 90 to 95 southeast.
Weather
The ruling applies only to companies and workers covered by the Railway Labor Act. Most industry comes under the Taft-Hartley Act. That law authorizes the union shop, but only in states where it is not forbidden by state law. The application of state "right to work" laws to industries covered by Taft-Hartley was not affected by today's ruling.

Ruth Taggart Reigns At Army Hop
Ruth Taggart, Topea junior, was crowned honorary cadet colonel of the University's Army ROTC unit by Lt. Col. Justice R. Neale, professor of military science and tactics, at the annual Spring Hop May 19 in the Student Union Ballroom.
Miss Taggart was escorted by Cadet Richard Breidenthal, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and Paul K. Worley, Topea senior. Her attendants were Barbara Keeler, Lawrence, and Ann Poirier, Wathena, juniors.
The Pershing Rifles formed an honor guard for Miss Taggart.
Lt. Col. Neale, and last year's honorary cadet colonel, Miss Nancy Olsen, Delafield, Wis., junior, gave bars to 83 men who will be commissioned before June 1557. The awards were made at the commissioning banquet in the Kansas Room of the Student Union.

military officials for work done during the year.
Outstanding members of the University's three ROTC units were honored by University and
Capt. V. F. Gordinier, retiring professor of naval science, and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy shared the reviewing stand as 850 ROTC students marched past. The students were led by a band composed of Army and Air Force ROTC members.
Few persons were in Memorial Stadium to see the review, but several were on the north side of Mt. Oread and watched the men march down Jayhawk Boulevard and Mississippi Street to the stadium.
Child Drama Course Slated
A new course in children's theater will, be offered by the speech and drama department next fall, according to Nathaniel Eek, instructor of speech.
The course is designed to show how to develop a child's release for creative ability, and will include work with children who are being entertained by and are participating in children's theater.
A group of seven and eight-year-old children made up their own play at the Centennial Elementary School this spring. They wrote their own dialogue, worked out the plot, and then gave it before a group of teachers and parents.
A demonstration of the results of this class will be given at the Elementary Education Conference to be held here June 6-11.
This is creative drama. A group has taken an idea and developed it into a production entirely from their own thoughts and work. The play "The Queen of Hearts" will be given in Bailey Auditorium, and Mr. Eek will lecture about children's theater.
Tuesday's Kansan Last For Semester
The final issue of the University Daily Kansan will appear Tuesday, All stories and articles for the issue should be turned in to the news room by 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Students who would like to write news editors, and features for the Summer Session Kansan should see James Dykes, assistant professor of journalism, in 211 Flint Hall.
Democrats Blame Ike For Defense Feud
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) charged that if Mr. Eisenhower "had been working on the job daily," the feud never would have developed.
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn), candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, demanded that Mr. Eisenhower settle the "bickering" before it becomes a "national scandal."
WASHINGTON (UP)—Democrats today blamed President Eisenhower for letting an army-air force feud over defense strategy become a public controversy.
Teachers' Pay Scale Up
Seniors who have accepted teaching positions for next year will average between $3,400 and $3,500. H. E. Chandler, director of the teachers appointment bureau, said today.
This represents a gain over previous years, Prof. Chandler said, but a considerable variation in salary schedules over the state remains.
The bureau has assisted in placing 215 persons, of whom 132 are new registrants and 83 are experienced alumni who are changing positions.
One hundred and sixty-two persons are candidates for graduation from the School of Education this spring, bringing the 12-month total to 222. However, because of marriage, calls to the armed forces and other reasons, not all those earning education degrees immediately enter the teaching force.
MOSCOW (UF)—United States Ambassador Charles Bohlen has informed Soviet leaders they must recognize the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as "a fact of life." The ambassador told Communist Party Leader Nikita Krushchev at a weekend reception for French Premier Guy Mollet that there are no plans for liquidating NATO.
