Campus Drive Netted Total Of 5,000 Toys
Almost 5,000 toys, all but about 50 of which were new, were collected in the March of Toys drive before vacation and they were distributed to thousands of Kansas children, who otherwise would have been without Christmas gifts.
Jim Miller, Alpha Phi Omega president, borrowed a truck from Morgan-Mack motors and took the toys to the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots drive in Kansas City. The Marines turned the gifts over to the Salvation Army, and they were distributed to investigated orphanages, hospitals, and needy families.
The unexpected success of the drive made, it necessary to change distribution plans. The sponsoring organizations, Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, Independent Students' association, and Inter-Fraternity and Panhellenic councils found that they did not have enough cars to transport all of the toys.
All of the toys were allocated for distribution in Kansas.
Lt. Col. George M. Dawes, commanding officer of the Marine Corps Reserve, Kansas City, Mo, said, "This was the biggest single contribution to our drive by far.
"The Marines appreciate it very much, and I offer thanks on behalf of the children who received the toys. A large number of them would not have had a Christmas if it had not ben for your gifls."
Miller said, "All of the thanks goes back to the individual students at the University who contributed."

Democrats, GOP Pick Floor Chiefs
Washington—(U.P.)—Democrats and Republicans named their leaders today for the Democratic-controlled 84th Congress which convenes tomorrow.
U.S. Considers Travel Controls For Diplomats
Washington — (U.P.)— The United States is considering tightening controls on travel of Hungarian and Romanian diplomats, state department officials said today.
They did not predict any immediate action, but said the matter is being considered and could lead to new controls.
Any such action would follow up yesterday's strict new rules declaring about 27 per cent of the United States "off limits" for all Russians in the United States except those assigned to the United Nations secretariat. The move was in retaliation for similar restrictions imposed earlier by the Soviet Union on Americans in Russia.
The U.S. order closes to Russian travelers many border areas and other key points, including 895 countries in 39 states and 16 cities in otherwise open areas.
The state department said the closed areas were selected on the basis of "reciprocity and security."
The regulation requiring Russian officials to give 48 hours notice before traveling more than 25 miles from the center of Washington or New York was extended to include all persons with Russian passports.
Weather
The moisture that has fallen the past two days is expected to continue tonight and may turn to freezing drizzle or snow in the northwest. Cloudiness will decrease tomorrow in the west, but considerable cloudiness and showers will remain in the east. Temperatures will drop tomorrow. The low tonight is expected to be in the 20s in the northwest to the 50s in the southeast. The high Wednesday will range from the 30s in the northwest to the 60s in the extreme southeast.
House Democrats went through the formality of nominating Rep. Sam Rayburn (Texas) as speaker and naming Rep. John W. McCormack (Mass.) as their floor leader. Rep. Rayburn, who has served as speaker longer than anyone else, will be elected again to that post tomorrow when the Democrats formally take control. He will succeed Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., (R.-Mass.), who becomes House Republican leader.
Senate Democrats were set to name Sen. Lyndon Johnson (Texas) as majority leader.
Senate Republicans unanimously elected Sen. Styles Bridges (NH.) as chairman of their policy committee, succeeding Sen. Homer Ferguson (Mich.), who was defeated for re-election.
They re-elected other leaders as follows:
Sen. William F. Knowland (Cal.)
GOP floor leader.
Sen, Leverett Salfontstall (Mass),
assistant GPO floor leader (whip).
Sen. Eugene D. Millikin (Colo.), chairman of the Senate Republican conference.
Although the Republicans have had some bruising internal battles in the past year, there was no contest over any of their leadership posts. Their meeting was described as full of "good will and harmony."
With Democrats taking control, Sen. Bridges will relinquish his post as Senate president pro tempore to Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga).
Sen. Earl C. Clements (Ky.) had no advance opposition for re-election as Democratic whip nor did Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (Mo.) to keep his post as secretary of the Democratic Senate conference.
Sen. Walter F. George (Ga.), senior member of the Senate, was the obvious Democratic nominee to succeed Sen. Styles Bridges (R.N.H.) as president pro tempore. The formal election takes place tomorrow when the new Senate organizes.
The same applies to Rep. Rayburn's election as speaker to succeed Rep. Joseph W. Martin (R-Mass), who will become GOP House floor leader.
