KIDNAPED DEAN — Law students, whose statue, "Uncle Jimmy" Green, is traditionally the victim of the law-engineering feud, found the carnival atmosphere of the Engineering Exposition worked to their advantage Saturday when they "borrowed" the bust of the engineering school's first dean, Dean Marvin. The bust-kidnapping took place at about 1:30 p.m. A Daily Kansan photographer, sworn to secrecy, was allowed to make this picture of the captive dean. The dog in the picture was not identified, because it was feared that engineering students might attempt to injure members of his family.
Ohio GOPs Throwing Mud In Search to Replace Taft
neering students might attempt to injure members of his family.
Columbus, Ohio—(U.P.)—Ohio Republicans today plunged into the final two weeks of a bitter primary contest to name their candidate to succeed the late Sen. Robert A. Taft.
The Republican organization, in hopes of avoiding a primary battle, broke from precedent this year and endorsed a slate of candidates with R. Rep. George H. Bender of Cleveland the candidate for senator. The GOP in the past endorsed only incumbent candidates in primaries.
Three weeks before the deadline for entering the May 4 primaries, William Saxbe, speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, jumped into the contest. He called Mr. Bender "the old-fashioned type of ward heel politician the Republican party has tried to get rid of for years."
With the two men hurling charges and counter-charges, Democrats, who have no contests for top offices, have listened for campaign material for Sen. Thomas A. Burke, Democrat appointed to succeed Taft, Mr. Burke, former Cleveland mayor, is unopposed in the primaries but has been getting around the state for weekend speeches.
Mr. Saxbe has been endorsed by the Cleveland Press and Columbus Citizen, the Akron Beacon-Journal, the Toledo Blade, and the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram.
IFPC to Sponsor 'Indigo Abstract'
The Inter-fraternity Pledge council will sponsor a semi-formal dance, "Indigo Abstract," in the Community building.
IFPC members several weeks ago hung signs in all the freshmen women's dorms, reading "Who Will Be the One?" with a list of girl's names under the signs. From the list, the queen and her attendants will be chosen, and announced at the dance.

The orchestra of Dodge City High school will present a public concert in Hoch auditorium Thursday at 3 p.m.
The School of Fine Arts annually invites an outstanding high school orchestra to play a concert here. Pratt, Winfield and Wyandotte of Kansas City have previously been represented.
Mr. Cohn said in New York that an announcement about these would be made. But Sen. Mundt said he doubts whether the statements would be made public immediately even though the Army's brief has been published.
Dodge City Group To Perform Here
Among the issues up for discussion (11:30 a.m. CST), were Sen, McCarthy's demand for the right to cross-examine all witnesses and his complaint about the premature release of the Army's formal charges against him.
Washington —(U.P.)— The Senate investigating subcommittee called a secret meeting with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy today to try to settle some preliminary rows so the Army-McCarthy hearings can get going on schedule Thursday.
Today was Sen. McCarthy's first meeting with the subcommittee since it picked a special counsel for the investigation. The Wisconsin Republican returned only yesterday from an extended vacation in the Southwest.
There also was a chance the subcommittee would ask Sen. McCarthy to submit a formal, written statement of his side of the case—possibly by a certain deadline—as the other principals in the case are doing.
Temporary subcommittee chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-SD.) said he expected subcommittee counsel Roy M. Cohn and executive staff director Francis P. Carr to submit their statements today.

H-Bomb Scientist OK Ex-AEC Head Says
Washington—(U.P.)—Sumner Pike, former Atomic Energy commissioner, insists there was never any indication Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer tried to slow up development of the hydrogen bomb.
Mr. Oppenheimer, one of the nation's top atomic scientists, is under suspension by the AFC on Thursday. The man board is investigating the case.
Mr. Pike, a Maine Republican businessman and AFC member from 1946 to 1951, said doubts cast on Mr. Oppenheimer's loyalty were "incredible."
"I almost wonder if there isn't some other motivation behind the apparent one in bringing these charges at this time," he said.
Chairman Harold H. Velde of the House un-American Activities committee said it is "entirely possible" that Mr. Oppenheimer "contributed" to a delay in construction of the H-bomb. He said the AFC should develop that point fully in its investigation.
The Illinois Republican also revealed in a television interview yesterday (NBC "Youth Wants to Know") that his committee is "considering" the public release of secret testimony given by Mr. Oppenheimer in 1949.
Mr. Oppenheimer has allegedly been accused of naming a fellow scientist as a former Red at the Velde committee hearings in order to protect himself.
Rhee Endorses Geneva Parley
Seoul, Korea — (U.P) — President Syngman Rhee agreed today to send South Korean delegates to the Geneva conference but predicted the April 26 parley would prove the uselessness of trying to deal with the Reds.
The South Korean president said that war and not words was the only language the Chinese Communist understands but voiced hope that his divided country would be united peacefully.
Mr. Rhe has said before he would never agree to a coalition government with the Communists and would settle only for removal of North Korean premier Kim Il Sung's Red government and incorporation of all Korea under the ROK flag. •
Some cottons grow on small trees.
Mr. Oppenheimer has said he originally opposed development of the H-bomb but that he dropped his opposition when former President Truman ordered its construction in 1950. He has also denied he ever was a member of the Communist party.
When the presidential go- ahead on the H-bomb came, Mr. Pike said Mr. Oppenheimer did a good deal of work of a highly scientific nature on the project. "I think Mr. Oppenheimer is a first class man and I would go his bond for any amount," he said in a New York television interview (CBS "The American Week.")
In another development, Mrs. Sylvia Crouch, an admitted former Communist, offered to testify again that she attended a Communist meeting once with Mr. Oppenheimer at the scientist's home in 1941.
