137 Million Prints On File
WASHINGTON—The average American may not leave behind him "footprints on the sands of time," but chances are almost even that his fingerprints will have been preserved by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The 137 million sets of prints jamming the bureau's files represent, with allowances for duplication, 70 million people. By far the bulk of the cards carry the fingermarks of government employees, defense workers, members of the armed forces, people who volunteer their identification, as well as visiting aliens whose first official contact in this country is with a fingerprinting ink pad.
Because some foreigners object to fingerprinting, the administration is considering a change in the immigration law. Meantime, a loophole was found through which visitors can tour the country—unfingerprinted—as "officials" of their government.

KU Student Sells Painting
Floyd W. Smith, Lebanon junior, has sold one of his paintings, "February Landscape," to the Wichita Art Museum. The painting is being shown at the third Air Capital Annual Exhibition which opened Sunday at the Wichita Museum.
Lowell Heinz, Kansas City, Mo,
freshman and president of the University Veterans Organization, reported today that 500 persons had signed the UVO petition as of 5 p.m. March 9, the scheduled last day for signing.
The petition is to urge the passing of a bill, now pending committee action in the Senate, which would increase GI training benefits under the Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952. If passed, the bill would raise the monthly allotments as much as $45 for the married veteran with two dependents. The bachelor ex-GI would receive $145 instead of his present $110 a month.
Heinz said a few veterans refused to sign the petition "because it would disrupt the national economy," or because the student was graduating soon and would not benefit from the proposed increase.
Since the number of signatures received is only one-third of the University veteran population, Heinz said the UVO will offer the petition again this week, the time and place to be announced.
One student said the petition is "communistic."

Last American To Leave Shanghai When 'Ransomed'
HONG KONG (UP)—Charles S. Miner, the last American businessman in Shanghai, will be "ransomed" from Communist China this month, it was reported today.
Informed sources said the U.S. Treasury Department has granted Mr. Miner's employers permission to remit U.S. dollars into Shanghai to pay off what the Reds are demanding as settlement in winding up of his affairs. Mr. Miner has been representing six companies belonging to C. V. Stars interests.
Three of the companies have been turned over to the Reds.
Mr. Miner said agreement has been reached on the other two companies, American Asiatic Underwriters Federal, Inc., and the Underwriters Bank, Inc., and that the agreements will be signed "very soon."
"The progress of negotiations is going much faster than expected," he said.
He has been trying to leave China for five years but the Reds refused him an exit permit. Since the current Geneva talks began Mr. Miner's departure has been held up by Communist demands for setting the affairs of the six companies. The Reds contended that the assets of the companies were less than the liabilities and therefore the owners should pay cash in addition.
Even Art Of Joe Must Go In USSR
MOSCOW (UP)—Western observers noted today the apparent start of a movement to eliminate all pictures and statues of the late Premier Josef Stalin from the Soviet Union.
The famous Tetyakov Picture Gallery, the largest in Russia, has suddenly and silently removed every picture of Mr. Stalin.
