Shoulders Gets 3-Year Sentence
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Former St. Louis Police Detective Louis Shoulders was sentenced to three years and suspended Patrolman Elmer Dolan two years today for perjury in connection with the Green-lease kidnap ransom money.
Judge Albert A. Ridge sentenced the two. He said he made the distinction in sentences because shoulders "appeared to be the dominant one, being a lieutenant."
Judge Ridge ordered the pair committed to federal prison immediately.
He told them they could appeal with the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis.
The judge said he was not passing judgment "from the heart, but from the evidence and the facts in the case."
Doland and Shoulders were tried separately on periury charges growing out of their testimony before a federal grand jury on the handling of the ransom money they took from Carl Austin Hall, kidnap-murderer of Bobby Greenlease, son of Kansas City millionaire automobile dealer, Robert C. Greenlease.
More than half the record $600-

Mr. Morris cited Shoulders' 27- year "excellent" career with the St. Louis Police department.
Dog Wanted To Read, Too
"This man stands here infamous." Mr. Morris said. "He should be famous."
Charles City, Iowa —(U.P.)— Librarian Ruth Hoffman said today a man returned a mutilated book and explained his German shepherd dog had torn the cover and most of the pages. Title of the book: "The Care and Treatment of a Dog."

The announcement was made jointly today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and Howard G. Engleman of Salina, president of the association.
Distinguished service citations are voted by a secret committee on the basis of the individual's contribution to the welfare of mankind. KU does not grant honorary degrees, but the citation carries a similar distinction.

Gonzales, '29 Mexico City, director and technical adviser to seven Mexican business firms; Dr, Kenneth Goodner, '23 Philadelphia, head of the department of immunology and bacteriology, Jefferson Medical college; the Rev.

A native of Mexico, Mr Gonzales earned an electrical engineering degree at KU. After three years with the Westinghouse firm he returned to Mexico and engaged in engineering work for several electrical firms and utilities. He was called into government service with an appointment as sub-secretary of communications. He now is associated with seven Mexican corporations as a member of the boards of directors and as an engineering consultant.
Mr. Denton rose from a clerkship in his father's bank at Arkansas City to his present post by way of federal service as a bank examiner. He began his career with the Mellon banking interests in 1929 when the late Andrew Mellon was secretary of the treasury. Since then he has risen to one of the highest positions in the world-wide banking organization.

BULLETIN
Big Powers Agree To Start Peace Plan
Geneva —(U,P)— The 9-nation Indochina peace conference—including the Communist bloc—today approved a big power agreement to start drafting the actual terms of a cease fire for Indochina's war-torn state of Viet Nam.
The agreement to work on specific terms was reached in today's fourth secret session of delegation chiefs.
Britain had indicated before the session began that refusal of the Red delegates to get down to business, after a month of fruitless argument and propaganda statements, might be taken as the signal that settlement was impossible at Geneva.
Authoritative sources, emerging from the secret conference, said the delegates agreed to get down to cases in their attempt to end the seven and one-half years of war in Indochina, by trying to compromise the rival French and Communist Viet Minh plans for a cease fire in Vietnam.
That in turn, would have influenced Britain to join the United States and France in plans for a Southeast Asian defense pact.
Viet Nam is the state of the three associated states of Indochina, in which most of the bitter fighting has occurred.
With the secret session still in progress, it was too soon to say whether the accord on Viet Nam meant that the Communists had tactically or explicitly given way to the West's demands that Laos and Cambodia be treated separately.
That issue has snagged the peace talks up to now.
Topeka Begins Centennial Fete
Topeka -- (U.P.) - Thousands of Kansans began streaming into the Capital city today to help Topeka observe the 100th anniversary of the organization of the Kansas-Nebraska territory.
At midweek the city began taking on a festive air, with flags and bunting draped down wide Kansas avenue, the main street.
Shop windows are filled with historical objects and pictures depicting the growth of Topeka from a mud-streeted trading post to a modern city of more than 100,000 persons.
And a good percentage of those 100,000 sought to relieve as well as recall the pioneer days of their grandfathers.
Men have been growing beards for months. Women are decked out in pre-twentieth century dresses and sun bonnets.
Official festivities start tonight with a mammoth street dance at which a Shawnee County queen for the Centennial will be crowned. The young lady will then enter the Centennial Queen contest held tomorrow night at the opening performance of a colorful 4-day pageant.
Film, opera, and television stars will take part in the pageant, to be staged at the Kansas Free Fair grounds. Tickets for both Saturday and Sunday shows have been sold out.
Final Sour Owl To Be Sold Tuesday
The fourth and final issue of the Sour Owl, official campus humor magazine, will be put on sale at the information booth and Hawk's Nest Tuesday morning, Tom Stewart, journalism senior and editor of the magazine, said today.
A photo-satire of this Spring's campus election squabbles will be one of the issue's features, Stewart said. Delivery to house salesmen will be on Monday afternoon, he said.
Democrats Get Committee Into Phone Squabble
Washington — (U.P.) The three Democrats on the Senate Investigating subcommittee demanded today that all monitored telephone calls in the Army-McCarthy fight be made public.
Their statement plunged the group into a new controversy over the records of conversation in the room. The police be publicly aired, again, Monday.
Sens. Stuart Symington (Mo.), Henry M. Jackson (Wash.), and John L. McClellan (Ark.) gave their consent to the use of any transcripts of telephone calls in which they took part—but only if all calls in the case were made public.
The Democrats spurned an agreement already signed by McCarthy and the Republicans which would give consent only for the records to be shown to counsel for the subcommittee and both sides of the fight, without making them public.
In effect, their move-was a challenge to the four Republican subcommittee members and to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and the Army to do the same thing.
The subcommittee plans to get all records of the conversations in hand, and then decide which ones it wants to publish. A new consent of the parties involved would be required before they could be put in the record under that plan.
"Our consent goes beyond this," Sen. Jackson told a news conference which Symington also attended. "If the parties to a lawsuft can look over the evidence in advance and then veto it, it's hard to get an impartial hearing."
Sen. Symington said the Democrats made their move because there is "an impression that the four Republicans consented to have their conversations made public. They were never even asked."
The consent form sent out by temporary chairman Karl E. Mundt, and signed by the Republicans and the McCarthy side, simply had the signer agree that calls to which he was a party could be shown to assistant subcommittee counsel Solis Horwitz, and his boss, Ray H. Jenkins, to Army Counsel Joseph N. Welch and to McCarthy Counsel Joy M. Cohn.
"This consent shall not be deemed for any other purpose," the subcommittee form stated.
The consent statements of Sens. McClellan and Jackson said they agreed that all monitored calls, including their own, should be made a part of the record, but that they did not consent to "any limited, restricted, or partial disclosure . . . or any suppression . . . from the members of the subcommittee or the public."

the applications should be sent to Kennedy at the ASC office B 109 Memorial Union. Selection will be made during final week and announced before the end of school.
