GOOD DEED FOR THE DAY—Phil Meyer, assistant state editor at the Topeka Daily Capital, is shown using the Daily Kansan's Scana-graver last night in the Journalism building. A gas line "blow out" which cut off gas service to the Topeka area left the Topeka newspaper without fuel to operate its picture engraving equipment. Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism made the Kansan equipment, which is operated electrically, available to the Capital to engrave pictures of the gas line failure yesterday.
Dutch, Swiss Offer Graduate Fellowships
Fellowships for graduate study in Switzerland and the Netherlands have been announced by the Institute of International Education. The competition for both fellowships closes March 1.
The Netherlands government offers three fellowships to U.S. citizens for room and board. The tuition fees are waived. The appointees must have funds of their own to pay the cost of passage to and from Holland and incidental expenses. Some knowledge of the Dutch language is desirable, and grantees who do not know Dutch are expected to take intensive training in the language.
Applicants may apply for Fulbright travel grants and request the same persons writing recommendations for the fellowship write duplicate letters on Fulbright forms.
Nine grants have been announced for graduate study in Switzerland. One or more grants of approximately $1,700 each, for advanced research
in the natural and medical sciences, will be made by the American-Swiss Foundation for Scientific Exchange, for candidates holding Ph. D. or M.D. degrees.
Appointees must have sufficient funds to pay the expenses not covered by the awards. Living costs average $110 monthly, and travel costs approximately $500 for the round-trip. Tuition charges are not waived and average $60 for the academic year.
Applications may be secured from the U.S. Student department of the Institute of International Education. 1 Fast 67th st., New York 21, N. Y. They must be filed with all supporting documents by March 1.

Washington—(U.P.)The House begins debate today on a Democratic-sponsored bill to give every taxpayer a $20 income tax reduction next year for himself and for each dependent.
Democrats were confident they had enough votes to pass the measure despite the strong opposition of President Eisenhower.
The President condemned the proposed tax cut yesterday as the "heights of fiscal irresponsibility." He said it would increase the federal deficit and bring on inflation.
House Begins Talks on Plan To Slash Taxes
Republican leaders said the President's stand gave them renewed hope of defeating the measure. But leaders of both parties conceded the vote would be close and would follow party lines with a few defections from both sides.
Pay Raises: A conference committee will work out a disagreement between the Senate and House on how much congressmen, federal judges and members of the Supreme Court should receive in pay raises. The Senate yesterday voted 62-24 to increase congressional salaries from $15,000 to $22,500 annually, or $7,500.
The tax cut proposal produced the angriest political squabble yet between President Eisenhower and the Democratic-controlled Congress.
Harlan: The Senate Judiciary committee began hearings on President Eisenhower's nomination of Judge John Marshall Harlan, of New York, as a Supreme Court justice. Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-S.C.) opposed confirmation because he is afraid Mr. Harlan "would put the United Nations above the United States constitution."
O th e r Congressional developments:
Military: Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) charged the administration's proposed cuts in Army manpower strength were dictated by fiscal rather than security reasons.
Statehood: Chairman Henry Jackson (D.-Wash.) of the Senate Territories subcommittee said he hopes the subcommittee will be ready to vote on the Alaska-Hawaii Statehood bill by the second week of March. He said advocates of giving the two territories commonwealth status as an alternative to statehood will be heard next Monday.
"A commission as a WAC officer assures competent professional women a career, financial security, and the intellectual and cultural advantages equaled only by the most stimulating professional careers," said Lt. Col. Neale.
WACs Offer Commissions
The Army is again offering career opportunities to women, who are college graduates, as officers in the Women's Army corp, according to Lt. Col. Justice R. Neale, professor of military science and tactics.
