Flint's Leadership Shown In Journalism Display
The current display in the Journalism Historical Center in Flint Hall features works that tell of the development of journalism education at the University under the leadership of the late Prof. Leon N. Flint.
The Flint display coincides with the dedication of Flint Hall tomorrow. Pro. Flint was chairman of the journalism department from 1916 to 1841, and the Board of Regents named the building for him last June, three months before his death Sept. 30.
The cartoons on display, all from the Albert T. Reid Collection, include those by Jefferson Machamer of Belleville, now with the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate; C. D. Batchelor of Osage City who is with the New York Daily News; Frank Moser of Marysville who helped develop animated movies; Russell Cole of Frankfort, and Albert T. Reid of Concordia.
Mr. Batchelor was awarded the Pulitzer prize for one of his cartoons in 1937.
Mr. Reid has been an artist, cartoonist, and illustrator in New York for many years. A few cartoons given to the university in the 1930's started the Reid collection that now contains more than a thousand individual items by about 500 comic strip artists and editorial cartoonists.

4,000 Truman Memoirs Sell
KANSAS CITY, MO.—(U.P.) The first volume of former President Harry S. Truman's memoirs, "Year of Decisions," had a good start toward becoming a best seller today with some 4,000 copies carrying autographs of the famous author himself.
Mr. Truman appeared fresh and unruffled after the six-hour autographing ordeal in the grand ballroom of the Muehlebach Hotel in which he signed his name at the rate of once every six seconds.
The former President, speaking of his memoirs, said that under similar circumstances he again would make the same decisions he made during his first year as President.
All my decisions were made with the best available information.
Mr. Truman will receive no money from sale of the books, having already been compensated by Time, Inc., which printed the book serially in Life magazine. The second volume will be published early next year.
Kansas City Mayor H. Roe Bartle, a friend of the ex-President, proclaimed the day "Harry S. Truman Day" as part of the affair.
Segregation Suit Filed
KANSAS CITY. Kan. — (U.P.)—A suit alleging segregation and seeking a permanent injunction was on file today in federal district court against this city's board of education.
Listed as complainants in the petition were 11 Negro children who allegedly were denied admittance to schools attended by white children.
The petition stated that Negro children were denied equal protection under the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution because the school board has continued racial segregation in the schools.
Frank Rushton, president of the board of education, said "We have achieved strictly to the law."

Patronize Daily Kansan Advertisers-They are Loyal Supporters.
WASHDAY WAS DRUDGERY in Grandmother's day . . . long hours of sweating, straining, back-breaking work. Today's housewife uses a modern washer and dryer. Manufacturers have reduced washday chores to a turn of a dial.
But to mass produce millions of washers and dryers, manufacturers must be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manufacturer talk to millions of people at one time.
ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new home appliances . . . and helps sell them. The more it sells, the more must be made—keeping the production lines and the jobs going. The result: newer, better home appliances at prices more people can afford to pay. Advertising helped make the difference—in home appliances, and in our American way of life.
