On Capitol Hill:
Farm Block May Lose Power Over SupportBill
Bv UNITED PRESS
Washington—(U.P.)-The Senate farm bloc was warned today it may wreck its own power by the fight it is waging over the administration's wool price support bill.
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D.-N.H.) hurled the warning at Southern Democrats and Midwestern Republicans who are trying to use the wool bill as a means of extending high price props on other commodities.
Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D.-La.), with strong bi-partisan backing, has proposed an amendment to the wool bill which would extend for two years present 90 per cent of parity supports on the "basic" crops: corn, wheat, tobacco, peanuts, rice and cotton.
The rigid supports on all these commodities except tobacco are scheduled to die in December, and the administration wants to replace them with a flexible support system which could be varied between 75 and 90 per cent of parity.
Other congressional developments: McCARTHY -The Senate Investigating subcommittee opened nationally televised hearings today on the feud between Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) and the Army, Ray J. Jenkins, special counsel for the inquiry, promised to drive "fearlessly" for the truth regardless of who is hurt. Acting Chairman Karl E. Murdut (R-S.D.) called on the Army to leadoff the testimony on its charge Sen. McCarthy and his chief counsel used "improper means" to get favored treatment for Pvt. G. David Sobine, drafted side.
Republican Senate Leader William F. Knowland hinted strongly that President Eisenhower would veto the wool measure if the amendment is approved.
HOUSING—The Senate Banking committee today called spokesmen from the financial side of the building industry in its investigation of the multi-million dollar housing scandals. Chairman Homer E. Capehart (R.-S.D.) suggested "blacklisting" from the Federal Housing program apartment buildings who reaped "windfall" profits from excessive government-backed loans. He also proposed that builders be required to turn back immediately any part of a government-insured loan that exceeded the cost of the project for which it was borrowed.
STOCKPILING — Rep. John J. Dempsey (D-NM.) charged that President Eisenhower's new strategic metal and mineral stockpiling program leaves the door open for imports which have been "disastrous" for domestic mines.
HEALTH—The CIO told a Senate Labor subcommittee that Congress has bowed to powerful medical and insurance lobbies and thousands of Americans "are dying and suffering unnecessarily" as a result. It called for action on a National Health Insurance program or, as a minimum, a system of federal aid to health.

German Club to Give Festival
The poor, benighted fisherman of Florida and their wet tales of Hollywood woe persist at the Granada theater in "Beneath the Twelve Mile Reef." This CinemaSopic ragout will not be poured out until Saturday night.
On Sunday, CinemaScope has better material with which to work in "New Faces," a satirical variety film with Eartha Kitt, Ronny Graham, Robert Clary, and Alice Ghostley, all of whom were with the show when it besieged Broadway. Apportioned mockery is made of lecturing explorers, nocturnal Boston, and the play "Death Of A Salesman." These highly amusing sketches are intermingled with several popular songs which are given the wide-screen treatment by singers heretofore unseen. This con-
glomeration of comedy will begin Sunday at the Granada.
The Jayhawker presently is peddling low adventure in the unhealthy north where Robert Ryan and Jan Sterling prove themselves to be sound of heart and steady pulse. The subject is nefarious competition, among salmon fishermen around the pole.
After "Alaska Seas," it is rumored that the Jayhawk will feature "The Naked Jungle." Taken from a short story called "Lenninger Versus The Ants," this picture to do with a rugged plantation owner of central Brazil who marries by proxy and imports the wife in time for a battle with the Marabunta, an army of soldier ants 20 miles long and 2 miles wide.
who disputes their proposed route, and he is affectionately assisted by Eleanor Parker. Theirs is a pretty weird battle, well worth seeing.
For some reason or other, on sudden occasions, these little rascals actually rise and congregate for a predatory march across the country side, and they eat everything but dirt. Charlton Heston is the man
A nevy of oldies is slated for local showing within the next week, and leading them is John Huston's "Red Badge of Courage," adapted from Stephen Crane's novel, and showing lucidly youth's reaction to cowardice and heroism in the Civil War. This begins tomorrow at the Lawrence Drive-In where you can mix libations and mosquitos if you have a clean windshield.
The Patee promises to revive "The Rains Came," with Tyrone Power, while the Varsity is scheduled to show "The Glenn Miller Story" after Sir Laurence Oliver completes his song-and-dance stint with "The Beggar's Opera."
"The Big Sky," sporting Kirk Douglas in a rousing story of the untamed Northwest, plays a final round tonight at the Lawrence Drive-In.
City Managers Meet in Union
The meeting with the Osawatomie Rotary is a forerunner of "Operation Friendship," a KU sponsored field trip set for May 8-9. At that time each foreign student at the University will be invited to be an overnight guest in some home in Osawatomie. Osawatomie business and civic leaders are handling local arrangements, which will include a visit to the John Brown Memorial Park.
George B. Smith, dean of the University, welcomed about 50 persons to the first session of the seventh annual City Manager school yesterday in the Union.
William R. Butler, assistant dean of men, talked of the foreign student program at KU.
"This is a professional refresher school to which city managers from Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas come each year to get new ideas about their profession," said James McDonald, research assistant in the Government Research center. —
The City Manager school is sponsored by the Kansas City Manager association, Government Research center, and University Extension. James Wiggsworth, Lawrence city manager, is president of the Kansas City Manager association.
In an address to the city managers on the economic outlook for the next year and its relationship to municipal program, Leland J. Pritchard, professor of finance said, "We are in a recession and that recession will probably continue and worsen unless the government takes public works measures."
Prof. Pritchard went on to say that he did not believe we would go into a severe depression like the one in 1929, because the present administration is not sleeping on the job. They are watching the economic condition of this country carefully and will take steps to prevent a severe depression immediately if necessary.
Students Discuss Exchange Systems
"The Foreign Student Exchange Program — What It Has Meant To Us," was the topic of discussion of two foreign students before the Rotary club in Osawatomi last Monday. The students, both graduates, were Derek Scott from England and Imitiaz Khan from Pakistan.
India's Culture Literate Says Psychologist
"Americans are in danger of forgetting that the peoples of India have a literate civilization dating back 3,000 years—and that India is not a culturally backward country," said Dr. Gardner Murphy, of the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, in a public lecture at Strong auditorium last night.
"Americans must remember, when thinking of India as a big, relatively unprogressive country, that the United States is very young, having only recently come out of the frontier stage."
Dr. Murphy, who spoke on "Relations Between India and the U.S." was introduced by Dr. Anthony Smith, associate professor of psychology. Dr. Murphy is a psychologist, and has spent six months in India as a research consultant for UNESCO.
"America's youth", Dr. Murphy said can be shown by her literature, which is distinctly European.
In India, literature is old and classic, written about the people and the land. Epic poems, sagas, and other narrative forms abound.
America could understand India, better if her literature and magazines could be more widely distributed here, and Indians could certainly understand the U.S. better if American literary works were distributed over India. This distribution of American literature, the speaker said, was hampered, as literary markets are already flooded with communist and European works.
India, however, does resemble the United States in certain ways. If we are to have understandable relations with her, we must recognize them Dr. Murphy said.
The people regard their children, (whom they laivish with affection), and their independence, with the same respect with which Americans regard these things. Humanitarianism, the appeal to the love of fellow men, is an important factor in Indian civilization. Dr. Murphy said.
The Indian people resent the policy of other nations of "helping them to help themselves and they would like to give back in return."
As for Westernization, Dr. Murphy said that he believed within 20 to 30 years the oriental civilization of India will adopt the Western way.
