West Awaits Soviet Answer on Disarming
United Nations, N.Y. — (U.P.)— The Western powers looked to Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky today for an answer to whether the Kremlin is ready to enter serious negotiations aimed at halting the hydrogen bomb race.
The United Nations 12-nation Disarmament commission meets at 2 p.m. (CST), when Mr. Vishinsky is expected to give Russia's reply to the West's blueprint on handling what may be a fateful new round of disarmment talks.
If the Russians see no chance of any disarmament progress, it was believed, they may oppose any secret discussions and leave the door open for propaganda.
The Indian plan gives the Russians a good propaganda opening by seeking among other things immediate consideration of radiation injuries suffered by Japanese fishermen in the recent American H-bomb tests in the Pacific.
Britain formally proposed last Friday that the commission set up a subcommittee of the Big Four powers and Canada to conduct the talks-in secret. The United States suggested that India's proposal for a "stand-still agreement" on H-bomb tests be handed over to the subcommittee at once.
Observers believed that Russian acceptance of the procedure outlined by the West would be a good indication that the Kremlin is sincerely interested in progress towards the awesome hydrogen weapons.
Engineers Get Scholarship
The Howard A. Fitch scholarship a scholarship for engineering students, donated by the Kansas City Structural Steel company of Kansas City has been announced.
The announcement said that $500 will be given to a freshman in the civil engineering department for the academic year 1954-55. If the student maintains his grade average he may keep the scholarship for a maximum of five years. In addition he will be offered summer employment with the Kansas City Structural Steel company.
Howard A. Fitch Jr., president of the Kansas City Structural Steel company, said the purpose of the scholarship is to give financial assistance to young men with limited financial resources who will in turn help others later in life.
Selection of the scholar by the chairman of the civil engineering department, Prof. George W. Bradshaw, and the dean of the engineering school, T. DeWitt Carr, will be based on personal qualifications and the need for financial assistance in completing educational courses.
Preference will be given to children of the employees of the Kansas City Structural Steel company and to students whose homes are within a radius of 50 miles of Kansas City.

50,000 Maps of State, World Housed in Lindley Library
By JIM HATHAWAY
Lindley library is more than a resting place for tired geologists, for it also houses a carefully developed collection of 50,000 maps, one of the University's more valuable assets for teaching and research.
Under the direction of Prof. Thomas R. Smith, the collection ranges all the way from standard geological and mineral maps to small topographic sheets whose titles vary from "Agricultural Capability of Kansas Soils" to "Sex Ratios of Population in Japan."
"By participating in the Army Map Service Depository Program, the program received 20,000 maps, mostly of foreign areas," said Prof. Smith. However, this program
Prof. Smith explained that the collection has grown chiefly through maps distributed by the U.S. and State Geological Survey, and the U.S. Army Map service.
was discontinued at the outbreak of the Korean fighting.
"The present purchasing program is aimed to obtain all available maps of Kansas, to broaden our coverage of both topographic and special purpose maps for selected foreign areas, and to acquire outstanding examples of contemporary cartographic work," he continued.
The map collection now contains some notable maps. These include "Land Utilization Map of Great Britain," the outstanding land use survey of a nation, and a copy of the rare "Great Soviet World Atlas." Volume 1, Moscow, 1937, which covers the USSR in great detail.
