Britain Gives Approval To Treaties on Bonn
Britain took the lead today in the drive to rearm a sovereign West Germany while the Germans themselves sought to break a deadlock on the rearmament issue.
House of Commons overwhelmingly approved the Paris treaties on West Germany last night and became the first Parliament to do so. Only four pacifist Laborites voted against the treaties.
In Bonn, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's coalition cabinet, which refused a week ago to approve the bills, met again today and reluctantly approved the treaties.
In an important election in a Liverpool suburb, Conservative candidate John Woollam defeated Laborite Cyril Fenton in a race for the seat in the House of Commons which was vacated by Sir David Maxwell Fye when he recently was elevated to the peerage.
British approval of the agreements was an endorsement of the Churchill government and gave the Conservatives their second big victory of the day.
Mr. Churchill personally congratulated Mr. Woolam by telephone but the Prime Minister did not say whether he interpreted the Conservative victory as a sign that his government was so safe that he could retire in favor of Anthony Eden.
Taipei: A National Chinese news agency said the Chinese Communists have moved another division of Paratroopers into position along the Chekiang coast near the Tachen islands, which have been under attack by Red gun and planes.
MOSCOW: An American visitor in Moscow, Rep. V. Wickersham, Oklahoma, went to the Baptist church yesterday and heard the Russians sing familiar hymns, among them "What a Friend We Have In Jesus." The Oklahoma Democrat spoke briefly to the congregation through an interpreter in behalf of American Christians.
Berlin: Communist East Germany
accepted the Russian bid for a Nov. 29 conference to set up a European Collective Security pact. East German Premier Otto Grotewohl hinted counter-measures would be taken if the West rejects the Soviet proposal.
Tunis: French authorities in Tunisia said French troops killed 23 outlaw terrorists in action around Kairouan and Gafsa. The bloody battles took place as France and Tunisia reached agreement in principle on methods to combat the terrorist revolt.
4 Groups Unite In Toy Drive For Orphanages
Are there any toys at your home that are no longer being used? Bring them back to school with you after Thanksgiving vacation. They'll help bring a better Christmas to some Kansan orphan.
Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, is working with the Independent Students' association, Inter-Fraternity council, and Panhellenic council in collecting the toys and distributing them to orphanages in this area. C. Robert Hatfield, engineering sophomore, was named chairman of the joint committee last night.
Besides asking students to bring toys from home, the group is encouraging organized houses to exchange toys at their Christmas parties and donate the toys to the
KU Booklet on Education To Be Released This Week
"Fundamentals for Children in Our Time," a Kansas study in education published by the School of Education, will come off the press this week. The 36-page booklet of 3.500 circulation is sent to every school in the state and all major schools of education in the nation.
The booklet is the first of three studies expected to be published this year. The study was made as an outgrowth for the theme for the eighth annual American Childhood Education Workshop held at KU June 9 through 19.
A general survey of fundamentals for the education of children and articles on fundamentals of art, music, science, and other fields are included. Dr. Oscar M. Haugh, associate professor of education, editor of the booklet, said that it shows that the job of the schools is more complex than it was 50 years ago.
'The three R-s are not enough for our youth today no matter how
broadly the meanings of the words may be spread," he said.
Contributors from the School of Education staff are Dean Kenneth Anderson, Dr. Elin Jorgensen, professor of music education; Dr. Charles Johnson, Dr. Alvin Schield, Dr. Joie Stapleton, associate professors of education.
Other contributors are Raoul R. Haas, director of northside branch of Chicago Teachers' college; Dr. George Mallinson, professor of psychology and science education at Western Michigan College of Education, Kalamazoo; and Miss Marvel A. Senti, art consultant in the Hutchinson public schools.
The committee is asking for usable toys, because it will not have the time or facilities to repair them.
drive. Lawrence Boy Scouts are planning to help by canvassing the residential area.
About 600 orphans received toys from the drive last year. Jim Miller, Alpha Phi Omega president, said, "I wish that every student could have seen the children's faces when we took the toys around last year. It made the orphans feel like it was really Christmas."
Present plans are to have the toys turned in around the Christmas tree in the rotunda of Strong hall. Organized houses which have a large number of toys after vacation may have them picked up by contacting Miller.
