Battle for Congress Is in Last Stages
Washington —(U.P.)- Republican and Democratic campaigners carried the last-stage fight for control of Congress into the middle and far west today where many races may turn on power and farm
Leading lights of both parties took the stump for a busy day of campaigning in five widely scattered states stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R.-Ill.) chairman of the GOP Senatorial Campaign committee, moved into Montana to boost Rep. Wesley A. D'Ewart's bid to unseat veteran Democratic Sen. James E. Murray.
On the Democrat side, Adalai E. Stevenson, 1952 presidential contender, invaded predominately Republican Wisconsin for a speech at Milwaukee while Democratic Senate Leader Lyndon B. Johnson scheduled a speech in New Mexico and House Leader Sam Rayburn was to appear in Missouri.
The Eisenhower Administration's farm and power policies are key campaign issues in many of the areas slated for heavy politicking today.
John Roosevelt, youngest son of the late president and a leader in the citizens-for-Eisenhower movement, accused the "Truman-Acheson" regime of hampering the Korean war and blamed Mr. Truman and former Secretary of State Dean Acheson for a shortage of ammunition in that fighting.
Back east, Republican leaders were pleased over President Eisenhower's first campaign swing through New York and Connecticut. In the two-day trip Mr. Eisenhower gave personal support to Gov. John Davis Lodge of Connecticut. Sen. Irving M. Ives, New York GOP gubernatorial candidate, and Clifford P. Case, GOP New Jersey senatorial nominee, all of whom are running close races.
Mr. Eisenhower also made a doorbell-ringing and handshaking tour in New York City yesterday.
In Rock Island, Ill.. Vice President Nixon called on Mr. Truman to "apologize to the American people" for his attack on the administration's new flexible farm price support plan. Mr. Nixon, who has repeatedly singled out the former President, said Mr. Truman's attack

Mr. Truman said the Democrats had told the farmers that a flexible program would result in lower prices for their products and higher prices for the things they buy. "And that is exactly what happened," he added.
“was as far from the truth as a statement could be.”
But Nixon said if the Administration's program is given a chance "it will benefit the farmer more than any type of farm program before or under the artificial controls of Truman."
US Promises To Support Saar To Avoid Block
Paris — (U.P.)— The United States moved today to avoid a last-minute deadlock between France and West Germany on the Saar by promising to support any accord on the governing of the border land.
High sources at the Paris conferences also disclosed that France will have a much stronger military edge over its feared neighbor, West Germany, in the new west European defense alliances.
These sources said France will man 16 divisions to 12 for West Germany, instead of the 14-12 ration, specified by the now dead European Army treaty.
With work completed on a treaty giving West Germany its independence, the entry of the Bonn Republic into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) became the conferences' last order of business at 2:15 p.m.
All of the documents on Germany, including a settlement ending the Saar dispute, are expected to be signed tomorrow.
The Saar controversy was not completely settled. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer still needed approval of his coalition on his agreement to end the dispute with France.
Adenauer conferred with his coalition leaders again at 10 a.m., after failing to convince them last night they should support his position.
The 78-year-old chancellor also met with Erich Ollenhauer, leader of the opposition Socialist party, who arrived in Paris last night at Adenaer's request.
Ollenhauer said last night he would favor no agreement that would separate the Saar and its vast resources and heavy German population from Germany.
Only the disputed Saar, a postage-stamp area rich in coal, stood between the West and a successful wrap-up of the new European Defense pact.
It was apparent that Adenauer plans to do nothing but advise Olenhauer of the progress of the Paris talks.

First State Paper Shown at Library
The original draft of the Lecompton pro-slavery Kansas Constitution, adopted in the fall of 1857, which is in the Kansas room of Watson library, was on display at the Kansas State Historical society meeting in Topeka Tuesday.
The document consists of eight leaves of parchment, each about 23 by 27 inches. The ink is faded, but still legible. It was loaned to the University of Kansas library by Rutgers University and the New Brunswick, N.J., Historical club.
The university library is planning to photograph the document and send copies to the State Historical society before returning the original. Photographs also will be kept in Watson library.
Students who have applied for placement in part-time jobs are asked to bring a copy of their class schedule and telephone number, Dennis L. Trueblood, director of aids and awards, said today.

Arnakis Has Education In Near East History
Forty hours a week in the class room plus thirty hours of outside preparation would seem like a heavy load to any KU student, and it kept G. G. Arnakis busy his junior year at Robert College in Constantinople. Mr. Arnakis is teaching his second year here as a visiting associate professor of history, and his education and background speak for themselves of the knowledge and understanding he has of the Near East and its history.
Coming from a Greek family o. Constantinople dating back to the fifteenth century, Mr. Arnakis has spent 21 years of his life in his birthplace, 15 years in Greece, and the rest in the United States. He was educated at Robert College in Constantinople, the first and oldest American college abroad. Among representatives of 30 or more nations, he spent his younger years learning English and carrying a full schedule without much leisure time. He received his B.A. degree when he was 21.
For nine years he studied, as a graduate student. Near Eastern history, classics, and received his graduate degree and Ph.D. from Athens university.
From the period 1945 to 1948 Mr. Arnakis published several books, all except one written in Greek. He reorganized the Institute of English Studies as director under the British Council. He held two positions, professor of history in the American College, and president of the Institute of English Language and Literature, which was Mr. Arnakis' private school and contained about 1,700 students.
Mr. Arnakis stated that the war years in Greece were tragic. Before the war he was teaching history and English at the Institute of English Studies, and he continued teaching during the German invasion. The school closed when the British evacuated Greece and the teaching of English was forbidden; he was invited back to his home, however, meeting with small groups of students in private homes once a week without gas, cars, or lights.
In 1948, Mr. Arnaki took a position of assistant professor of history and classics at the University of Kansas City, and last year he joined the KU faculty. He received his American citizenship in 1953.
Library Receives Historical Papers
William B. Cooper, a student at KU from 1903 to 1905, presented three old newspapers Thursday to Robert Vosper, library director. The newspapers, the Boston Sunday Herald for August 23 and August 30, 1863, have accounts of that "horrible atrocity" at Lawrence and other historical items about Kansas. A New York City newspaper dated Nov. 14, 1861 was also given by the retired engineer.
Old newspapers with articles describing Quantrill's Raid and with other notes about Kansas have been given to the University library by a retired Kansas City engineer.
The UVO wishes to present to all students for consideration the following resolution which was sent to the Chancellor last Spring as being in the interest of the Student Body and the University of Kansas:
UNIVERSITY VETERANS' ORGANIZATION KANSAS CHAPTER ROOM B 107, STUDENT UNION BUILDING 12 MAY 1954
To: Chancellor, University of Kansas
Via: Dean of Students, University of Kansas From: University Veterans' Organization Council, Kansas chapter
Subject: Resolution
The University Veterans' Organization, its membership assembled, on 12 May 1954, passed the following resolution and offers it for your consideration.
Whereas it is dedicated to maintaining and improving the position of the University of Kansas among other colleges and universities, and
Whereas the University Veterans' Organization is a non-political, non-profit organization that provides services to individualists campaigning for political office in student elections, and is not affiliated with any political parties.
Whereas the members of the U.V.O. have seen the results of nondemocratic types of national governments, and
Whereas it believes that the arena of student politics is the best training ground for the production of American office holders and voters solidly indoctrinated in the principles of self-government by duly elected representatives, and
Whereas it firmly believes that strictly honest, well-organized, well-planned, and well-run elections—national, state, local, and student—are the norm, the president has not shown any signs of
Whereas many allegations of dishonesty and unfairness and much adverse publicity have resulted from the recent student elections at the University of Kansas, all to the detriment of the reputation of the University,
Now, therefore, he it resolved that the University Veterans' Organization places itself in the vanguard of crusade for more closely controlled student elections and for integrity, deency and dignity among political parties and candidates by making the following recommendations:
1. It is recommended that the Chancellor of the University of Kansas appoint a committee of outstanding students to study the student election system with a view toward improving this system by eliminating all possibilities of unfairness, coercion, and dishonesty.
2. It is further recommended that this election committee receive suggestions on possible election systems from any interested individual or organization on the campus.
3. It is further recommended that the final election system as agreed upon by the committee be made effective by the Chancellor.
Such results are of such great importance to the local and national reputation of the University of Kansas that immediate action by school authorities is deemed not only advisable, but essential.
Approved by the executive council, University Veterans' Organization, 12 May, 1954.
Approved by the membership of the University Veterans' Organization, 12 May 1954.
