COMING OR GOING?—During the restaging Saturday of Quantrill's raid by Centennial celebrants, Robert Baum, engineering freshman, and Irene Coonfer, college sophomore, pause in front of the site of the old Free State hotel (now the Eldridge) to reload their pistols.
Quantrill's Gang 'Invades'—In Fun
Riding down Massachusetts street with pistols blazing, Quantrill's "raiders" climaxed their cross-country trip at noon Saturday.
In the modern version, the "sacking" of Lawrence excited the riders more than the citizens who gathered to watch the show. But the outwits' purpose was accomplished. Lawrences' centennial celebration was on its way and the "gang" had a good time.
Roughing it was also a modern version for the "raiders." After being drenched by rain during their 35-mile ride from Spring Hill to Eudora Friday, the KU students boarded a bus and came to town for dry clothes.
Feted by the Chamber of Commerce, they ate steaks, potatoes,
baked beans, ice cream, and coffee.
After grabbing a ukulele, they returned to Eudora to camp overnight.
A new twist to the historical event occurred around 2 a.m. Saturday when the raiders were raided, Fireworks and gun shots by mysterious attackers aroused and baffled the "ruthless" outlaws.
Saturday's ride into Lawrence lacked the excitement of the previous day. Setting fire to a "building" at Gardner, "stealing" fresh horses, "shooting" the citizenry, and robbing a cafe for cokes made an eventful break in the routine.
tery, where the Rev. Dale Turner of the Plymouth Congregational church conducted a memorial service for persons who died in the actual raid. Carol King, college freshman, placed a wreath on one of the graves.
After attacking Lawrence, the riders went to the Pioneer ceme-
The raiders then were served lunch at the Chuck Wagon restaurant by the Lawrence Centennial committee.

Hitt Outlines Finals Changes
On Capitol Hill—
Green Light Predicted For T-H Revision Bill
Conflicts in final examination schedules must be reported to the registrar's office before May 13 if students wish to change their examination schedules. Any student having four examinations on one day will receive an automatic change James K. Hitt, registrar, said. Other reasons for making switches in the examination schedules also will be considered.
Democratic members of the labor committee have charged that the bill was "steamrollerled" out of court and have demanded that it be returned.
Most of the Senate debate was expected to center on the strike vote amendment, proposals for enlarging state powers and a Democratic move to send the bill back to committee.
Washington—(U.R.)—Republican leaders today predicted the Senate will pass the Taft-Hartley revision bill after amendments are added and a lengthy debate.
Kansan Want Ads Bring Results!
Republicans are counting on votes from Southern Democrats who support the Taft-Hartley law to defeat the recommitual drive. Other congressional developments:
Republicans plan to offer amendments which would go further than labor committee recompendations in enlarging the powers of states in the labor relations field and which would carry out Mr. Eisenhower's recommendations for government strike votes in industries covered by federal labor law.
The measure, described by it manager as "a good, middle-of-the road" bill was called up for debate shortly after 10 a.m. (CST). The bill, with one major omission, would carry out President Eisenhower's recommendations for changes in the 7-year-old labor law.
GOP leaders expect the measure to be on the Senate floor for at least a week or two and eventually to pass. Its prospects are considered less bright in the House.
Asia-Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland (Cal.) has urged the U. S. to confer "immediately" with free nations willing to join in setting up a collective security system to "prevent southeast Asia from falling to Communism." He said this county should not let Britain's "lack of willingness to take action paralyze the rest of the free world."
Farm—Democratic leader Sam Rayburn (Tex.) said today most House Democrats will vote to continue the rigid high price supports for basic farm crops which President Eisenhower wants scrapped. Mr. Rayburn said he doesn't believe farm prices would go higher if government price supports were set lower.
Foundations — The Rockefeller foundation's financing of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey's sex studies will be airied at hearings of a special House committee investigating tax-exempt foundations, it was learned today. Civil Defense—Rep. Richard Bolling (D-Mo.) today proposed the creation of a special House-Senate committee to make a study of ways to improve civil defenses against atomic attack.

Washington — (U.P.)—Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell said yesterday he will not support James Roosevelt for Congress if Mr. Roosevelt wins the Democratic nomination to a congressional seat from California.
Mitchell Won't Help Roosevelt
Mr. Mitchell stirred up a row within the Democratic party, by announcing earlier this year that the Democratic National committee would not give financial support to James Roosevelt or Rep. Robert L. London (D-Calif.) in their bids for Democratic nominations to California seats in Congress.
He gave as his reasons Mr. Roosevelt's marital difficulties and Mr. Condon's failure to secure clearance to attend atomic tests. Some Democrats claimed this was unwarranted interference by the National committee in local races.
Mr. Mitchell said in a television interview yesterday he received virtually no reaction to his move He said one letter "raised a question" about it and others approved his action. He added he knows of no Democratic "revolt" caused by his step.
