Kansas Notes-
Kansas City Jailbreak ThwartedThisMorning
Kansas City—(U.P.)—An attempted jailbreak was thwarted at the Wyandotte county jail here early today by a sheriff's officer, but only after prisoners had attacked and severely injured a 69-year-old jailer.
Lt. Roscoe Davis said the prisoners removed a huge door from a cell some time during the night and were lying in wait for the jailer, Clyde Morgan, when the latter opened the main, solid door leading to the cell area.
"They grabbed him and began to beat on him," Davis said. "He yelled and when I heard him, I drew my pistol and ran to his aid.
"As soon as the prisoners saw me coming, with my gun in my hand, they rushed back into the main cell. It was all over then, but Morgan had been beaten pretty badly before I got to him."

Wilkie did all of the actual work on the board himself and his wife, Lee, cataloguer in Watson library, did all of the lettering.

BritonsSwamp Graham Talk
Cassandra said in a front page column under the headline "Billy Graham Versus the Devil," that Graham preached the old-time religion.
Last night he took on the Devil in this sporting place (dog racing was in full flight less than 100 yards away) and I must say it was a thunderning good contest."
The Daily Mirror columnist known as Cassandra was among the lucky 11,158 Britons who were admitted to the arena last night for the opening of Mr. Graham's "Greater London Crusade." Thousands of others were turned away because there was no more room.
The columnist gave Mr. Graham's dimensions and said "my card showed him to be the clear winner" in his fight against "The Prince of Darkness."
A Liberal News-Chronicle report on the audience said a 19-year-old medical student commented that "there is a great need to bring a message of salvation to the people of this country in the way that perhaps Billy Graham can."
The Times of London said the crowd was "out of the ordinary". It said the "arena was filled and hundreds were disappointed" because they could not be admitted.
Two KU debate teams will leave tomorrow to participate in the 23rd Annual Northwest Debate tournament to be held at the College of St Thomas, St. Paul, Minn., from Thursday to Saturday.

Other newspapers expressed amazement at the response to Mr. Graham's "crusade."
The teams are Bill Arnold and Hubert Bell, college juniors, and Lawrence Tretbar and Richard Smith, also, college juniors.
TwoDebate Teams Enter Tournament
The national debate question, free trade, will be the topic of debate. All schools from central United States will be represented at the tournament.
"The St. Thomas debate will probably determine KU's chances of being invited to the national debate tournament at West Point this spring" said Kim Griffin, director of debate.
Albeneri Trio Rated Superb Musical Group
The program consisted of the Trio in G major, Opus, 1, No.2 by Beethoven; Trio in C major, Opus 87 by Brahms, and Trio in B Flat major, Opus 97 by Beethoven.
It is difficult to write a review on a performance as superb as that given by the Albeneri Trio last night without sounding like advertisement for a Hollywood extravaganza.
By MARGOT BAKER
Erich Kahn on piano, Giorgio Ciompi on violin, and Benar Heifetz on cello were superb musicians individually, and together they comprised a good organization not only from a technical standpoint but also in regard to interpretation and unity.
The program was well attended and the audience appreciative. After being called back five times, the Trio played a Haydn selection as a last encore.
Altogether it was evident from the enthusiasm shown that this was an evening and a performance that will be long remembered by those who heard it.
