Library to Initiate Code Of Procedure April 1
By KENNETH PLUMB
Watson library's first formal code of procedure will go into effect April 1, according to Robert Vosper, director of libraries.
The need for such a code has been seen by the library staff for some time, in order to guide the library in providing more efficient service to the University. Most of the practices stated in the new code have been implemented in some years and are merely brought into a codified form .
Mr. Vesper said the general pattern of the code is to apply to all University libraries, but provision has been made for variations in practice where necessary.
The main feature of the new code concerns books in the regular stacks. The period for checking out books in this classification is being changed from two to three Pamphlets. Pamphlets may be checked out for on one week, with renewal privileges, when the code goes into effect.
Special emphasis is placed on the fact that each borrower is responsible for books charged in his own name and that delegated signatures cannot be accepted without formal authorization.
Wives of faculty members and research associates, as well as local residents, will have access to the facilities of the library.
21. Vosper said it is understood that changing needs will require modifications in the present pattern.
Threats Given Stock Boom
Washington — (U.P.)— A New York investment banker and a labor leader raised red warning flags today on the stock market boom.
Ferdinand Eberstadt, the banker and James B. Carey, Secretary-Treasurer of the CIO, gave such warnings—based on different reasons—in separate statements to the bank's annual committee which has been investigating the sharp rise in stock prices in the past 18 months.
Mr. Eberstadt's statement was only mildly unfavorable to the market. Mr. Carey was highly critical. Both commended the investigation.
in his single reference to the Eisenhower administration, Mr. Eberstadt said the President and Congress had inspired wide confidence in the economic future.
Mr. Carey put most of the blams for what he called a "far out of line" increase in stock prices on administration economic and tax politics. He singled out Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey as the "chief architect of an economic house of strad."
The labor leader termed as "brazen" Humphrey's advice to the committee Tuesday to be cautious in its investigation lest it weaken confidence in both the market and the overall economy.
"If this recent bull market is nurtured by so poor an economic pasture that a few words before this Senate committee can cause its destruction—as Secretary Humphrey has to maintain—then he has insisted the economic policies of the Eisenhower administration," Mr Carey said.
Mr. Eberstadt recommended that the federal reserve board be empowered to raise market margin requirements—the percentage of cash that must be put up to buy stocks—on specific individual stocks.
Mr. Carey said an increase in margin requirements above the present 60 per cent would be a "wise step."
Traffic Deaths Total 99
Topeka—U.P.) -Kansas' 1955 traffic death toll was 99 today.
The highway patrol said Minnie McCall, Great Bend, became the 89th to die in state vehicle mishaps this year. She died Wednesday of injuries suffered in a two-car accident March 8 east of Seward. The accident also claimed the life of Harry Martin.
Topographic Map Program Spreads Over Jayhawkland
Building something big, a stock pond perhaps? Doing some landscaping? Going fishing? Planning any project in which you need to know the lay of the land?
A map showing the topography, or the shape of the land in the area in which you are interested, max help—that is, if such a map is available.
Topographic maps picture hills and valleys by means of symbols, principally by "contour" lines. By joining points of the same height above sea level, these contour lines give the maps a three-dimensional effect. Other surface features and map detail are in accordance with the map scale and the spacing of contour lines.
Because they show land configuration, topographic maps are extremely useful. An accurate and detailed topographic map will show almost at a glance the length and height of a dam necessary at a selected place to impound a given number of acres of water. Also, the size of the drainage area above the proposed lake can be determined easily as well as an estimate of the number of acre feet of water that the lake would hold. For many types of construction work or massive building programs topographic maps are almost necessary. On the other hand they may be helpful guides to individuals or groups taking excursions into unfamiliar territory.
Up-to-date topographic maps are available for about $12\frac{1}{4}$ percent of Kansas, according to the State Geological Survey at the University of Kansas, which agency is cooperating with the U.S. Geological Survey on topographic mapping in the state. Available maps are of areas in or adjacent to Kansas river and Missouri river valleys in northeastern Kansas, the Smoky Hill and Republican river valleys in the Manhattan-Junction City vicinity, and the Solomon river valley in north-central Kansas; of areas covering about 3,000 square miles in northwestern Kansas and about 2,000 square miles in southeastern Kansas; and of a few smaller areas as Wichita and Scott City and surrounding territory.
In addition a considerable part of the state has been mapped in a reconnaissance manner and is represented by a series of topographic maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1885 and in following years of the pre-1900's.
The modern topographic maps show not only land forms but streams, lakes, roads, buildings, railroads and other cultural features. The contour lines and benchmarks are in brown, water is in blue, cultural features in black, paved roads in red, and wooded areas in green.
Topographic maps of Kansas areas are sold for 20 cents each by the State Geological Survey, University of Kansas, Lawrence, or by the U.S. Geological Survey, Federal Center, Denver. Maps can be ordered by names selected from an index map distributed free by the Geological Surveys.
"What Do You Think?—Are Men Inferior to Women?" will be discussed at the meeting of the Graduate club in the Trail room of the Student Union at 8:30 p.m. today.
Brian Dunning, graduate student will be the moderator of the second discussion in this series. The meeting is open to the public.

Washington — (U.R.) Government experts said today that if the United States gets into another major war civilians can expect gasoline rationing to be just as tough—and maybe tougher—t h a n in World War II.
Some people have wondered if gasoline might not be more plentiful in the next emergency, what with jet planes being able to use such low-grade fuels as kerosene. Not so, said the experts.
Gas to Be Short If War Comes
"There definitely would be rationing," a defense department specialist on petroleum predicted. Hugh A. Steward, director of the Interior department's oil and gas division, agreed 100 per cent.
Government planners figure military demands for petroleum products in a new global conflict probably would be even greater than in World War II.
For one thing, American Air Force and Navy jets use fuels based on gasoline, rather than kerosene as the British do. And even kerosene comes from the same source as gasoline—crude oil—so that its large-scale use would affect gasoline supplies indirectly.
The experts said jets eat a lot more fuel than the propeller-driven jobs of the last war. They said it takes still more gasoline and oil to drive cargo planes, tanks, trucks, gun carriers, ships, and the thousands of other fuel-operated implements of war.
It's going to be a long time, for example, before the Navy converts to atom power. It's also expected that planes would be used more than ever before to haul troops and equipment—and this would mean high fuel consumption.
Officials said distributing gasoline to civilians takes manpower and equipment. In the event of a full-scale war, they said it would be advisable to shift as much of this to defense projects as possible, again cutting into civilian supplies
The Defense department spokesman said it would take some days to put a new rationing program into effect after a declaration of national emergency. During this time civilians would be able to get supplies from normal sources.
Piano Recital To Be Given
James Smolko, assistant instructor in piano, will give a graduate recital at 8 p.m. Monday in Strong auditorium.
Mr. Smolko, whose home is Youngtown, Ohio, did his undergraduate work at the Cleveland Institute of Music. His teacher here is Prof. Jan Chiapusso.
Last fall he was solist with the University symphony orchestra, playing the Brahms D minor concerto for piano and orchestra. He will play the "Partita No. 4 in D major," by Bach, "Sonata Op. 111." by Beethoven, "Sonata" by Ernst Block, and a set of eight piano pieces, "Op. 76," by Brahms.

Washington—(U.P.)—Republicans claimed today they have licked a Democratic plan to cut income taxes $20 a person next year. Democrats refused to concede defeat but wouldn't make any victory claims, either.
GOP Claims Victory Over Demos' Tax Plan
The tax cut was approved by the House and rejected by the Senate as an amendment to a corporation-excise tax extension bill. Its fate rested today with a Senate-House conference committee.
The conferences must come up with agreement before April 1 to prevent a scheduled drop in taxes on corporations and on liquors, cigarets, gasoline, and automobiles.
Republican House Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., (Mass.) said flatly *l* that senate will stand firm and the House will yield before the April 1 deadline.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.), who broke party ranks to back the administration in opposition to an income tax cut this year, was optimistic about getting the House to recede from its position. Sen. Byrd is a member of the conference committee.
"I believe we are in a very strong position in the conference committee," he said. "There was a two-to-one vote in the Senate against the provision which will be before the conferences, and the House approved it by only five votes."
Rep. Daniel A. Reed (R.-N.Y.), senior Republican tax writer in the House, charged that House Democratic leaders will be responsible for a $132 million "tax windfall" for the liquor industry, unless they give up their tax-cutting drive.
Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.) retorted that Republicans were in no position to talk about windfalls after having opened a loophole in the 1954 tax law which promised "at least a $1 billion tax windfall" for corporations.
"I believe in God..."
"I believe in God." These are the greatest words in the world.
In the Episcopal Church we don't say in our creed that we believe there is a God. We say, "I believe in God."

neighbor by the name of Jones." This may be true or false; at best it is a mere statement of fact. But if you say, "I believe in my neighbor, Jones," you say that you know his name to be Jones and that you trust him or have faith in him.
And that's not just an occasional outburst. Every Sunday, in either Morning Prayer or the Service of Holy Communion, Episcopalians in unison reaffirm their belief in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—one God.
We invite you to worship God with us in the Episcopal Church near you. Join us as we say, "I believe in God."
