CCUN Endorsed By Chancellor
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today endorsed the CCUN model assembly as a useful attempt to provide students with information about the United Nations.
He said:
"The United Nations represents a sincere effort on the part of many peoples to achieve an international mechanism for resolving misunderstandings and correcting economic and cultural problems which tend to spread not only poverty and ill health, but, in their wake, war and destruction.
"Differences of opinion on the part of sincere and decent men continue to exist regarding the United Nations and the relationship of the United States toward it.
"The Collegiate council for the United Nations, in planning and carrying out its model assembly, provides the opportunity to gain accurate information about this great effort so that each student may make up his own mind as to its validity and importance. Thus, the Collegiate council for the United Nations serves a most useful purpose on this and other college campuses."

Kansas House Votes Today on Tax Overhaul
Topeka—(U.P.)—A roll call vote, with passage apparently certain, comes today in the Kansas House of Representatives on a measure to overhaul the state's tax assessing procedures.
Rep. Howard Immel of Iola, chairman of the Assessment and Taxation committee, guided the bill through just one hour of debate yesterday before the legislators; without audible dissent, gave it tentative approval.
The bill seeks statewide equalization of assessments over a three-year period in steady steps. Rep. Immel described the proposal result of two years work by the Kansas Citizens Commission on Assessment equalization, as not perfect, but a practical solution to the inequities now prevalent in the tax assessment system.
Rep. Immel presented figures showing that the bill would:
Increase assessments of farm lands from 31.56 per cent of the tax load now to 36.29 per cent.
Increase urban lands from 22.19 per cent to 34.91 per cent.
Decrease personal property from 28.36 per.cent to 17.66 per.cent.
Drop public service companies (utilities) from 17.66 per cent to 11 per cent of the total assessment.
Decline mineral reserves from 23 per cent to 14 per cent.
"If any class would benefit more than others, it would be utilities," Mr. Immel said.
4-State Search For Kidnap-Slayer
Kemmerer, Wyo—(U.P.)—A crazed gunman kidnapped a town marshal and two citizens in this small southwestern Wyoming town today, murdered one of the trio and then flew with a 17-year-old boy as a fourth hostage.
Scores of police in four states—Wyoming and adjacent portions of Utah, Idaho, and Colorado—were mobilized at roadblocks to intercept the unidentified killer and free the abducted youth.
Officers said they feared the slender, dark-complexioned slayer had broken through the first line of roadblocks in this area and had escaped into Utah.

Dr. Youngstrom holds A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from KU and an M.D. degree from Duke university.
The speaker, Mrs. Kelly, was introduced by Nancy Neville, journalism senior, vice president of Theta Sigma Phi. "Search for Truth" was the theme of the speech, which was directed mostly to young women in journalism.
The award was presented to Miss Shore by Elizabeth Wohlgemuth, journalism senior, president, at the annual Matrix Table dinner of Theta Sigma Phi. Eula Mae Kelly, associate editor of Capper's Farmer, was speaker.
Miss Shore was born in Hiawatha and obtained her elementary education in Lawrence. She received her college education at Emporia State college, Pittsburg State college, and Colorado State college from which she was given a life certificate for teaching. For ten years she taught in Powhattan, Herington, and Great Bend.
In 1928, she began her work in Journalism on her brother's newspaper, the Augusta Daily Gazette. Later she and some friends bought her brother's interest, and ran the paper.
She gave helpful hints to the girls in journalism who are planning to work in a newspaper office, such as how to dress and act in the particular situations.
As a young journalism, Mrs. Kelly began her career as associate women's page editor for the Kansas City Star. Her search for truth began at this point and has followed throughout her career.
After her job on the Kansas City Star, she returned to Kansas State college for graduate work in English literature and home economics. Her home economics degree and extension work are responsible for the job she has today with Capper's Farmer.
