Hammarskjold Leaves India on Trip to China
New Delhi, India—(U.P.)—UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold left today for Red China with hopes for success of his mission to free jailed U.S. airmen lifted by reports of favorable reaction to his fateful flight to Peiping.
Mr. Hammarskjold and his party departed by plane for Calcutta—their last stop on the free side of the bamboo curtain—after a two-hour talk between the secretary general and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India.
Mr. Nehru earlier had been critical of Mr. Hammarskiold's mission because he thought the United Nations had acted too hastily in ordering it.
The official Indian information service quoted Nehru as commenting that Mr. Hammarskjold's mission "will do some good."
This government agency also reported that the visit of Mr. Hammarskjold to Peiping was being looked on favorably by the Chinese people.
Mr. Hammarskjold refused to comment on what he thought would be the chances for success of his campaign before he departed for Calgary.
The party will spend the night in Calcutta and arrive tomorrow in Canton, China.
At Canton the Hammarskjold mission will transfer from its chartered Indian Skymaster to the Chinese plane that will carry it on to Peiping for conference with Premier Chou En-lai on the plight of jailed U.S. airmen and other American personnel being detained by the Red regime.
Mr. Hammsarskijold met Mr. Nehru after walking barefoot in chilly weather this morning to the Mahatma Gandhi memorial. They also met for lunch.
Mr. Nehru and Mr. Hammarskjoeld smiled as they posed for pictures.
Only one American is in Mr Hammarskjold's party. He is Mr Hammarskjold's aide, William Runaloo 32, of Pittsburgh, Pa.
But the Indian prime minister was conspicuously absent yesterday when Mr. Hammarskjold's plane arrived at the New Delhi airport.
A Nehru spokesman, Indian Secretary General N R. Pillai, explained to Mr. Hammarskjold that the prime minister had gone to the funeral of S. S. Bhat Nagar, an Indian scientist who died suddenly Saturday.
Morse: Adlai Would Win
Washington — (U.P.)— Sen. Wayne Morse (Ind.-Ore.) predicts Adai Stevenson would defeat President Eisenhower overwhelmingly if the two ran against each other again in 1956.
Sen. Morse said last night he thinks President Eisenhower will run for a second term. But he said the President is not as popular as he was in 1952 and probably would be beaten if his opponent were Mr. Stevenson again.
Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Dokla.) said, meanwhile, he definitely will not be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1956. He said he has a "very fixed purpose" to stay out of the presidential race.
Sen. Kerr said President Eisenhower "is entitled to run again" on the basis of his own and his party's record. The Democrats in the 84th congress, he added, will support the parts of Mr. Eisenhower's program which they believe will improve the general welfare.
Asked if the Democrats would not actually be re-electing the President by giving him support, Sen Kerr said "not at all."
He said Mr. Stevenson or "whoever the candidate is" will run on the party's record in the past and upcoming congresses. He declined to say whether he would support Mr. Stevenson.
Sen. Morse, once a Republican and now an independent, said there was a "strong possibility" that he will run for re-election to the Senate in 1956 as a Democrat. He said he thought he made a "terrible mistake" in supporting Mr. Eisenhower in 1952.
Speaker Post Battle Ahead
Topeka — (U.P.)— Thirty-three Republican members of the new Kansas House of Representatives Sunday attended a Shaw-for-Speaker rally and a dozen more sent Rep. Warren Shaw regrets they could not attend.
One week from today a GOP caucus will meet to select the party's nominee for speaker in the Republican-controlled lawmaking chamber. Forty five votes are necessary for a majority decision at the party gathering. There are 89 GOP house members.
Rep. Shaw, a veteran Topeka legislator who also is chairman of the State Office Building commission, opposes Rep. Robert H. Jennison of Healy in the most spirited speakership race in many years. Rep. Jennison, finance chairman for Fred Hall during the bitter summer primary campaign, is generally conceded to be carrying the banner for Governor-elect Hall in the speakership contest.
Rep. Shaw has drawn support from members of a rival Republican group. He told the United Press, "This contest, no matter how rugged, isn't the end of the 1955 session, and we must remember it.
"We don't want to get into a position that we can't get together with the other side afterward. We hope they feel the same way."
Rep. Shaw said he feels confident he will win the caucus vote. But should he not be the victor in the caucus room, he said that under no circumstances would he permit his name to be presented on the house floor when the chamber formally will be organized. That would mean a minority GOP nomination with expected Democrat support.
KU Man Named To National Post
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, chairman of the department of zoology and director of the Natural History Museum, was appointed to a six-year term on the advisory board of national parks, historic sites, buildings, and monuments of the National Park service.
Dr. Hall, a 1924 Kansas graduate, is one of the world's recognized authorities on smaller animals. In the summer of 1953 he was one of the few scientists accorded the honor of presenting three research papers at the fourteenth International Zoological congress at Copenhagen, Denmark.
The appointment of Dr. Hall was announced in Washington by Douglas McKay, secretary of the interior. He will begin his term next June 30.
Dr. Hall took his graduate work at the University of California and taught there until assuming his present position in 1944. His zoological field research, much of which has been sponsored by the Navy, has extended through the North American continent from the Panama Canal Zone to northern Alaska.
Within a 500-mile circle drawn around Pittsburgh, Pa., lies more population and probably more natural and manufactured wealth than in any such radius of any other metropolis in North America.
Thanks largely to protection of the National Audubon Society roseate spoonbills have made a strong comeback in Texas. They have also increased in Florida. In 1890 they had disappeared from Texas and almost from Florida.
High Principles Give Value To Visual Educator
Educational movies can yield superior results as teaching aids if there is proper choice of films with the instructor's emphasis of principles stressed in each film.
Dr. Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, today reported these findings in regard to high biology instruction to the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Berkeley, Calif.
With the cooperation of public school personnel, Dean Anderson and three colleagues conducted the year-long study in 60 Kansas high schools in the 100-to-200 enrollment brackets. Involved were 1,354 students.
"Others have proved that educational films produce superior learning of factual information," Dean Anderson said. "We aimed at determining the usefulness of sound movies in bringing about understanding and application of the principles of a science."
The researchers viewed all films on biology in the KU Bureau of Visual Instruction and rated them for coverage of 34 important principles.
The biology classes were tested at the year's beginning for educational achievement and divided into three groups of similar all-around abilities. The control group saw no films during the year or a few of the teachers' own choice.
A second group saw the films. But in each instance the teacher followed instructions for emphasizing certain principles before showing the film and stressing the principles covered in the film in classwork afterwards.
Proper choice of films and proper utilization produce the best results. Dean Anderson concluded.
U.S. Air Force Grants $16,924
A $16,924 grant from the U.S. Air Force will enable University bacteriologists to make a study of tularemia in Alaska.
Dr. Cora M. Downs, professor of bacteriology, will be the principal investigator. Senior investigators will be Dr. Theodore G. Metcalf, assistant professor at KU and Dr. Cluff E. Hopla, medical entomologist at the University of Oklahoma, who took his graduate work at KU.
Tularemia, popularly called rabbit fever, is transmitted by insects. The disease, which can be fatal to humans, affects rodents and some domestic animals. Although the study of tularemia has not been conclusive, the findings may have some application in defense against biological warfare.
Dr. Metcalf, who has been closely associated with Dr. Downs' projects the past eight years, and Dr. Hopla will make a three-month field trip to Alaska next summer. There they will trap animals suspected as insect carriers or which have had the disease. The specimens will then be sent to KU where the laboratory work will be done.
Dr. Downs is one of the nation's leading workers on the bacterium causing tularemia. Since World War II when she did classified work at Camp Detrick, Md., she has received numerous research grants from the Navy and U.S. Public Health Service.
William Thomas Northey, North College, Ill., a 1950 graduate of the University of Minnesota, will enroll in February. Both are candidates for the master's degree.
Two graduate assistants have been appointed for the project and will make the Alaskan trip. Ralph W. Mitchell, Lost Springs, is currently attending KU from which he received the AB degree in 1952.
