U.S. Challenged To Economic War By USSR
MOSCOW—(U. P.)—Soviet Communist party boss Nikita S. Khrushchev challenged the capitalist world to an all-out economic battle for survival today.
In a major address to the 20th Communist Party Congress, the first since Josef Stalin's death in 1953, Mr. Krushchev said the Soviet Union will also keep pace with the capitalist powers in arms production.
Bulganin At Meeting
Flanked by Premier Nikolai Bulganin, who has been missing from public functions for a month, and other top party leaders, Mr. Krushchev said the advances of communism no longer would be confined to the Soviet Union alone.
The party newspaper Pravda struck the keynote of the party congress this morning with an unprecedentedly confident economic challenge by communism to capitalism.
During his five-hour speech, Mr. Krushchev struck the same note, as he did in previous speeches.
1. The United States must admit the communist camp is "invincible" and establish good relations with Russia in line with the recent friendship treaty offer, or else see "an arms race on a greater scale and a still more dangerous growth of forces on both sides."
2. The internal forces of the capitalist economy are working toward its downfall, while the communist economy is steadily rising towards its goal of proving itself to the world and transforming itself into a world system through peaceful competition.
6. "The most active and consistent fighters against war danger and reaction are the communist parties." But even in "bourgeois" countries there are important persons who believe there will be "no winner" in a war in which atomic weapons are used.
3. The United States "has passed the peak in the use of its postwar economic possibilities and no new markets are in sight. Hence there are no prospects for further serious rise in production."
5. All the countries which do not belong to aggressive alliances can live in peace and perfect friendship with the U.S.S.R."
4. The west is forming aggressive blocs and extending the cold war while Russia struggles for peace. "The International atmosphere has become poisoned by a war psychosis," he said.
West Forming Blocs
7. The position of the "imperialist forces" is becoming weaker. The "majority of the population of our planet" now has arises against aggressive imperialism.
'Camille' Next In Film Series
"Camille," a re-issue of a 1936 American film, will be presented at 7:30 p. m. Friday in Hoch Auditorium as one of the University Film Series.
The cast of the film, which is taken from a novel by Alexander Dumas Jr., includes Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor, and Lionel Barrymore. Miss Garbo portrays a beautiful, extravagant, gay woman in poor health who arranges to meet a wealthy baron. She mistakes Mr. Taylor for the baron, and he falls in love with her.
Mr. Barrymore, who plays Taylor's father, begs her to give up his son, which she does. She returns to the baron, but Taylor returns as she is dying and they reaffirm their love.

Symbolic ASC Key Has Lost Its Meaning
The All Student Council has some unusual rules in their Constitution such as the wearing of the symbolic keys, the use of the bicameral system when it is not necessary, and smoking in off-limits places regulations. These strange rules were discussed at last night's meeting.
Most organizations have a few unusual rules in their Constitution, and our own ASC is no exception.
One of the most unusual rules of the council is the symbolic key which indicates Student Council representatives. If a delegate missed a meeting in 1943, he couldn't wear the pin. However, this year no one has bought or even owns a pin according to George Sheldon, Salina junior, who is president of the council.
"The most absurd law which we have in our constitution is the establishment of the bicameral system. The amendment is brought up in one
Another unusual law is that which establishes the Committee on Committees. This committee, which is appointed by the president each year and approved by the council, has as its sole function to set up and supervise other committees.
house, many times you can't bring it up in the other house for two weeks."
Another law, which was adopted June 22, 1943, concerns smoking in off-limits places. According to ASC rules, violators may be brought before the student court and punished.
He said KU is one of the few major universities in the country that still has a bicameral system, or better known, a two-house system.
Dean J. Allen Reese of the School of Pharmacy, was released Sunday from Watkins Hospital where he has been since he suffered a heart attack Jan. 14.

"Dean Reese is doing very well," Mrs. Reese said. "He will be in bed for the next two weeks and will be permitted to get up twice a day, but he's feeling well."

More Snow Is Possible
TOEKA —(U.P.)—A fast moving cold front marched through Kansas during the night and promises to bring some light snow during the next 24 hours.
The front chopped temperatures from ultra-mild mid-February levels. It also gave Kansas gloomy Valentine's day skies and put fog in the west and south, along with some freezing drizzle at Goodland and Hutchinson.
U. S. Meteorologist Richard Garrett said the overcast skies will tend to break up later but won't clear fully.
The front displaced very mild temperatures. The mercury climbed to a high of 61 at Wichita and 60 in Chanute and Pittsburg Monday. The coolest maximum was 49 at Goodland. Lows this morning ranged from 24 at Goodland and Russell to 39 at Pittsburg, before arrival of the cooler air.
Student's Trial To Be Continued
The court case of Lawrence P. Ball, Cunningham junior, was continued until Tuesday, Feb. 21 by Police Judge Jack C. Maxwell this morning in Lawrence police court.
Ball was driving a car which struck William Schlotterback, Ellis junior, on Jayhawk Boulevard in front of the Museum of Natural History last Friday.
Ball is charged with failure to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian, failure to slow to avoid an obstacle, failing to驾驶 a vehicle with defective brakes.
Schlotterback, who received a compound fracture of his left leg, is in good condition and "resting well," according to attendants at Watkins Hospital.
