Moore to Discuss Novel by Joyce
Jame Joyce's "Finnegan's Wake"—dubbed "Winnegan's Fist" by some critics of modernist trends in literature—will be among the works discussed in Strong auditorium from 7 to 8 p.m. today by Geoffrey Moore, Rose Morgan visiting professor.
Mr. Moore will present from modern writers' works samples of sense that look like nonsense, and by contrasting them with examples of real nonsense will explain how to tell the two apart, he said. His lecture is the second in a series open for credit as English 97 and open also to faculty, students, and public.
Later lectures in the series will deal with Proust, Henry James, Kafka, Gertrude Stein, and Dylan Thomas. Mr. Moore's general aim is to make clear the purposes and methods of modern literature and the ways in which modern writing differs from that of earlier periods, he said.

The room has facilities for cataloging, storage, and display of the collections and will be a browsing room and study center for journalism students.

French Would Write Armament, Saar Issue
McCarthy Set To Fight Censure Move
Washington—U.P.)—Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and his supporters mapped plans today for a fighting anticensure campaign that is expected to plunge the Senate into one of the angriest debates in recent history.
As part of the strategy, sources close to Sen. McCarthy said censure resolutions may be filed against other senators when the Senate returns Nov. 8 to consider the censure recommendation against the Wisconsin Republican.
Sources declined to name targets, but they said the resolutions probably would be aimed at senators who have been critical of Sen. McCarthy.
A six-man Senate committee unanimously recommended yesterday that the Senate formally censure Sen. McCarthy for his "contemptuous" treatment of an elections subcommittee in 1951-52, his "vulgar" and "base" comments about a subcommittee member—Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson (R.-N.J.), and his "reprehensible" abuse of Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker during a hearing Feb. 18.
The group criticized Sen. McCarthy for "highly improper" references to Sen. Ralph E. Flanders, an "improper" appeal for government information and "responsible handling of some B information" lavish usages, ruled these things should not be grounds for censure.
There was some speculation that the report would be used extensively in the congressional election campaign. But two key GOP strategists said privately today that they do not expect it to have much ef-
Reaction from senators around the country made it clear today that there will be a pitched battle over the committee report when the Senate opens debate on it after the November elections. Most of the lawmakers—including the Republican and Democratic leaders—withheld their views pending a full study of the findings.
Sen. McCarthy was in seclusion with an inflamed sinus, but his attorney, Edward Bennett Williams, said the Senator would wage an all-out fight on the Senate floor.
London—(U.P.)—France tossed a new obstacle today in the way of restoring German sovereignty and rearmament.
French Premier Pierre Mendes-France seized the initiative at the opening session of the nine-nation conference which seeks to unify West European defenses by presenting a "package plan" that would link both the explosive Saar issue and strict controls on armaments to a final German settlement.

KU Professor's Book Published
"Roads From the Fort," a novel of the West in the mid-19th century by Arvid Shulenberger, assistant professor of English, recently was published by Harcourt, Brace, & Co.
Set in the South Dakota plains and hills of which Mr. Shulenberger is a native, the plot centers around two soldiers who go on a hunting expedition in the company of two Indian guides, both of whom happen to be squaws.
Of the ensuing entanglements Fred Fitzsimmons of the Kansas City Star said that despite an improbable plot Shulenberger brings some conviction to the story by his excellent portraval of the locale.
A graduate of Yankton South Dakota college in 1940, Shulenberger was a radar observer in the Pacific in World War II. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in American literature from the University of Chicago and taught at that university and at Indiana and Dakota Wesleyan before joining KU's teaching staff.
A critical study o the works of James Fenimore Cooper by Dr. Shulenberger will be published soon by the University Press.
Union to Televise Series
The World Series will be televised at 11:45 a.m. tomorrow in the Student Union. Two sets will be located in the main lounge and the ballroom. The Series has been shown to capacity crowds there in the past.
88'Flight Casualties'to Enter University'Birdland' for Study
The University will have 88 "new" birds in its ornithology department thanks to a cloudy morning and a TV tower.
Orville Rice, Topeka audubonian,
said that it is not unusual for atmospheric conditions to cause birds to fly into obstructions.
badly damaged ones will be destroyed.
The birds were mostly natives of the coniferous forest regions of the northern U.S. and Canada and were on their yearly migration to the south. In size they ranged from the sharp-billed marsh wren to the yellow-shafted flicker.
With the "ceiling zero" weather hampering flight, the birds crashed into the WIBW-TV transmitting tower's supporting cable in Topeka. The birds were put into the freezing unit at the home of Judge and Mrs. Walter A. Huxman.
Dr. Harrison B. Tordoff, ornithology professor, later identified and classified the birds into 33 species. Dr. Tordoff will bring the birds to the University where some will be stuffed, some will be used for skeleton study, and the more
The more rare of the birds, the yellow-bellied flycatcher, the Philadelphia vireo, and the bay-breasted warbler will be added to the KU permanent collection.
The coal-rich, 900 - square - mile Saar area has been a chief bone of contention between Germany and France. It was controlled by Germany before the war, and now is control economically by France, which also dictates its foreign policy.
West Germany has accused France of trying to take over the area completely and has demanded that, at the least, it be internationalized.
The Premier's plan also would write in strict and detailed restrictions on German rearmament under the Brussels pact—details which the United States and Britain and NATO commander Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther believe are not necessary.
At one point in Premier Mendes-France's speech, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenaur interrupted to pledge dramatically that the new Germany will voluntarily limit her armament, once the Allies end their occupation and restore sovereignty.
Despite the French premier's unexpected move, delegates felt that the conference had gotten off to "a very good start."
The German chancellor said West Germany would agree to any armaments controls that do not discriminate against her.
The speech of Premier Mendes-France—whose country has been most stubbornly opposed to German rearmament—was described by one delegate as "very conciliatory." Chancellor Adenauer assured the French president that he would keep her armies within the 12-division limit which would have been set by the European Defense Community treaty killed by France.
Mr. Mendes-France made his speech as soon as British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden finished welcoming the foreign ministers with a statement reminding them that the unity and possible survival of the free world hinges upon the decision made here.
The French premier put forward the same French plan for German rearmament he had advanced at the Council of Europe meeting at Strasbourg.
Whistle,Stop!
The new whistle has practically the same measurements as the old, and the tones of the two should be practically identical.
But as every returned student and faculty member knows, they're different, to say the least.
A music student guessed the new pitch to be about a B, with the old whistle blowing a lower G.
W. C. Sanderson, chief engineer,
said that the new one is about 50
per cent higher than its predecessor's.
The difference is due to lack of steam.
"If the deficiency is in the valves, then nothing can be done about it — we can't get new valves," said Mr. Sanderson. "At any rate, we'll leave it there until Buildings and Grounds supervisor C. G. Bayles returns from his vacation, and he and Chancellor Murphy will make the decision whether or not to keep it."
He said there was slim chance of fixing the old whistle.
We're used to the old whistle and the new one with a different tone just doesn't sound good — but that's because we're accustomed to the other," Mr. Sanderson said.
