Churchill Talk Wakens Dull British Campaign
By UNITED PRESS
Sir Winston Churchill, a veteran of half a century of rough and tumble politics, brought the British election campaign out of the doldrums today.
With the election only nine days off a general apathy had settled on British voters. There had been no issues until the former prime minister raised some.
He tore directly into some of the Labor party leaders—Clement Attlee and Aneurin Bevan, the rival for Mr. Attlee's leadership—and called them "piebald" and a "voluble careerist" in that order.
He caught readers' and listeners' attention with the assertion that the new masters of the Kremlin might have "more powerful forces behind them" and said the recent developments in international affairs mean disarmament and relaxation of cold war tensions are "within our reach and may soon be within our grasp."
"He could hardly do otherwise considering he made the atomic bomb secretly for four years without even telling parliament," Mr. Churchhill told his constituents in a speech at Woodford last night.
And he carefully gave the Conservative party credit for helping win the "new look" in Soviet foreign policy which he said improved the outlook for peace.
He had scathing things to say about Mr. Attlee's recent effort to cut the term of conscription from two years to 18 months.
One of the issues he raised involved Mr. Attlee's support of the Conservative government's decision to manufacture the hydrogen bomb.
"Fancy," he said. "Fancy, when the meeting of the Big Four at the summit holds the first place in all our thoughts and hearts, the leader of the opposition feeling himself compelled to try to gain popularity in his party and votes in the election by saying something which might give the impression to the Communist world that Britain is on the run."
Mr. Churchill also answered Labor charges that Prime Minister Anthony Eden stole a plank out of the Labor platform by pressing for the Big Four talks at the summit. Mr. Churchill reminded his listeners he himself first made the proposal two years ago when he was the Conservative prime minister.

2. Require all men entering the military services to serve a combined total of five years on active duty and in the ready reserve. Failure to keep up reserve training would result in a 45-day recall to active duty under penalty of a court-martial.
1. Authorize the President to call 1 million reservists into action in a national emergency without awaiting congressional approval.
3. Allow between 100,000 and 200- 000 years aged 17 and 18 to volunteer for six months' active training to be followed by $ \frac{7}{2} $ years reserve duty. Failure to keep up reserve training under this program would result in a two-year draft to active duty.
The reserve bill cleared the House Armed Services committee by a 31-to-5 vote late last month after an administration proposal to draft youths for the six-month training program was rejected and the program was put on a voluntary basis.

Rev. Turner to Get Honorary Degree
Glee Concert Called 'Inspiring'
By BARBARA BELL
A small audience heard the University glee clubs present their concert last night in Strong auditorium.
Clayton Krehbiel, director, drew some fine interpretations from the groups. Capable assistants as directors were Jerald Stone, education senior, and Connie Eikelberger, graduate.
According to many listeners, a setting of songs from Thomas Jefferson's quotations was most inspiring. This group called "The Treatment of Freedom was surpassed by the treatment and was judged" "The God who gave us life." "We have counted the cost," "We fight not for glory," and "I shall not die without a hope."
The women's glee club sang three Brahm's numbers, "Three Voices," "I Hear a Harp," and "Psalm XIII" which brought special praise from listeners. The second number was outstanding because of the horn solo performed with skill by Donnell Horn, education junior.
"Aura Lee," arranged by Hunter, and "The Drum" by Gibson were sung by the men's glee club as the final numbers of the program.
Special recognition should go to Virginia Vogel and Norman Chapman, fine arts sophomores, for their piano accompaniment throughout the program.
"Life in the High Mountains of Switzerland" is a Swiss geographer's subject for one of two semester's end lectures by distinguished visiting speakers Thursday.
Geographer To Give Talk
Dr. Hans Boesch, professor of geography and director of the Geographical institute at the University of Zurich, will speak at 7:30 p.m. in 426 Lindley. The talk, one of the University Lecture Series, is open to the public.
Dr. Boesch is an expert on the geography and geology of the Alpine and also has an international reputation in the field of economic geography. He is vice president of the International Geographical union and is a visiting professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Chicago.
The Swiss geographer will visit the campus for three days.. May 18-20, as guest of the KU geography department. He will meet with class and seminar groups in geology and geography and go into the field with staff members over the weekend.
Rev. Turner will be in Buckhannon, W. Va., this weekend to participate in baccalaureate and commencement services at the college, which is one of the leading Methodist colleges in the southeast. He will be presented the degree of Doctor of Divinity Tuesday morning.

SUMER IS ICUMEN IN
Lhude sing cuccu!
Sumer is icumen in:
Thus, as every schoolboy knows, begins T. S. Eliot's immortal Hiawatha. And no wonder "The Boy Orator of the Platte" (as T. S. Eliot is commonly called) was moved to pen such light-hearted lines! For summer (or the "vernal equinox" as it is frequently referred to) is the happiest season of the year, mild and balmy and contented-making.
Which brings us, of course, to Philip Morris Cigarettes. They, too, are mild and balmy and contented-making. But that is not all. They are also genial, placid, and amiable. But that is still not all. They are, moreover, smooth, pacific, and lenient. But hold! There is more. They are, in addition, tranquillizing, element, and dulce.
Indeed the list could go on and on, until every adjective is exhausted that would describe the mildness of Philip Morris, the subtlety of their blending, the delicacy of their flavor. What more perfect companion could be found to a summer's day? What more ant complement to a summer's night?
If you have been pleased with Philip Morris through the winter and spring—as who has not who has a taste bud left in his head? you will find your pleasure compounded, your enjoyment trebled, when you smoke Philip Morris in the warm and joyous months before you.
My own plans for the summer (except that I will smoke Philip Morris through all my waking hours) are still vague. I have been invited to attend a writers conference, but I don't think I'll accept. I've been attending writers conferences for years, and I always have a perfectly rotten time. The trouble is that Alexandre Dumas and Harriet Beecher Stowe are always there. Not that I have anything against these two swell kids; it's just that it breaks my heart to see them. They're so in love—so terribly devoted and so hopelessly! Dumas will never divorce Jane Eyre while she is with Peary at the North Pole, and Miss Stowe has long since despaired of getting her release from the Pittsburgh Pirates. So hand in hand, brave and forlorn, they go from writers conference to writers conference while Dumas works on his monumental Stover at Yale.
No, thank you, I'll do without writers conferences this summer. I think instead I'll try to improve my fishing. As Izaak Walton once said, "No man is born an artist or an angler." I often turn to the works of Walton (or "The Fordham Flash" as he is familiarly called) when I am searching for a choice aphorism. In fact, I told him so when we met some years ago at a writers conference. Walton was accompanied, as always, by Henrik Ibsen (or "The Pearl of the Pacific" as he is known as). They - Ibsen ("The Pearl of the Pacific") and Walton ("The Fordham Flash")—were collaborating on Mister Roberts at the time, but they fell to quarreling and abandoned the project and the world, as a consequence, was deprived of a truly robust and entertaining comedy.
It is not uncommon, I must say, for writers to fall into dispute. They are, after all, a sensitive and high-strung lot. I'll never forget what William Makepeace Thackeray (or "The Body" as he was universally called) once said to me. "You show me a good writer," said Thackeray, "and I'll steal his wife."
Well, as I was saying, I think I'll give writers conferences a miss this summer, and I recommend that you do the same. Why don't you just take it easy? Swim and fish and sail and smoke and read and sleep and tan your little young limbs. I want the best for you because—if I may get a little misty in this, my final column of the year—I think you should know that it's been real kicks for me, delivering this nonsense to you each week.
And in conclusion let me state what Jane Austen (or "Old 54-40 or Fight" as she is called the world over) once said to me. "Nothing is so precious as friendship," she said, "and the richest man in the world is the one with the most money."
