London  — (U,P)— Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, died Friday. The white-haired scientist was 73.
Penicillin Finder Dies in London
He died in his London home, not far from St. Mary's hospital where he discovered penicillin by accident. It was one of the most momentous accidents in the history of medicine.
Mr. Fleming was puttering about in his laboratory in 1942. A speck-sized fleck of wind-bourne mold was wafted through an open window.
The beneficial accident c a m e about this way:
The speck settled in a saucer containing a germ culture. Mr. Fleming absently took a look at it through a microscope. The germs in the saucer were dying.
There the accident ended, and the genius took over. Working with the whisker-like vegetable molds such as housewives see on decayed fruit, Mr. Fleming made penicillin, the drug that almost miraculously prevents multiplication of bacteria in the human body.
Alpha Phi Omegr Sets Smoker
The Kansas chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national scouting fraternity will hold its spring pledge smoker at 8 p.m. today in the Oread room of the Student Union.

Charles Pearson, city editor of the Topeka Daily Capital and former staff member of the William Allen White School of Journalism, was the guest speaker. In his speech, "A Day on the Topeka Daily Capital." Mr. Pearson explained the problems which arose when a gas line broke in Topeka February 23, leaving the newspaper without fuel to operate its picture engraving equipment.
The newspaper and yearbook advisors from each school presented their students with the Quill and Scroll pin at the conclusion of the initiation conducted by Neal Wherry, principal of the Lawrence High school, and seven members of the school's student council.

Around the World Burma Fighting To Rid Country Of Nationalists
Burma was fighting one of the strangest wars in history today—a long, drawn out struggle to expel the estimated 4,500 remnants of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist troops who were driven out of China by the Communists.
Rangoon dispatches said the Burmese army captured several Nationalist strongpoints around Loitung mountain in Eastern Burma near the border of Thailand in a battle that has raged for two days.

London—The poor showing by the Labor party in its move to censure Prime Minister Winston Churchill's Conservative government touched off new bickering among warring party members. The split between Leader Clement Attlee and Rebel Aneurin Bevan is to come to a showdown Wednesday.
A London newspaper scolded Group Capt. Peter Townsend today for his "ambiguous" Brussels statements and appealed indirectly to Princess Margaret to end the suspense over their reported romance and possible marriage.
Paris—Premier Edgar Faure took personal charge today of the drive to win Senate ratification of the Paris arms treaties. He appeared before a joint session of two Senate committees whose vote on the treaties may influence the full Senate vote and appealed for passage.

Right-to-Work Bill Reaches Senate Minus Committee OK
Topeka — (U.P.) The labor-fought right-to-work bill reached the Kansas Senate today from its labor committee without recommendation.
The absence of a favorable recommendation proved no obstacle in the House of Representatives. It was passed last Wednesday 66-45.
The bill would prohibit employers and unions entering into an all-union contract. No one could be denied work because he did or did not belong to a union.
Sen. Leonard Rude (R-Parsons), chairman of the Senate labor committee, has indicated he does not favor the highly restrictive proposal.
He has been quoted that it would
not "cure any of the ills" of labor-management relations brought before the attention of the Kansas Legislative Council during a two-year study. Mr. Rude headed that study.
He said his committee will sponsor a labor relations act to define and correct "unfair labor practices."
The labor relations bill would differ slightly from a recommended measure drafted by the Legislative Council.
Instead of a labor relations board, the labor committee believes enforcement should be obtained through injunctive relief in the courts.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL
Next, what does the student council do? Again the answer is simple: it meets.
Today let us investigate a phenomenon of American college life called the student council. First of all, what is the student council? The answer is simple: the student council is a council of students.
Next, what goes on at the meetings? This question is rather more complicated than the others. Perhaps it can best be answered by reproducing here the minutes of a typical meeting of a typical student council.
Meeting scheduled for 8:30 p.m. at Student Union Building. Call to order 9:51 p.m. by Hunrath Sigfoos, presiding. Motion to adjourn made by Louis Bicuspid, freshman representative.
