Washington — (U.P.) — Chairman Harold H. Velde (R.-III.) said today the House Un-American Activities committee "very likely will postpone" its quizzing of former President Truman in the Harry Dexter White spy case.
Salutes" replaces "Big Wheels on the Campus." A five-man student board will make the selections for this department in future issues, Knudson said. They are Mary Betz, journalism senior; John Simons and Shirley Tinsley, chemistry seniors; Lit Ning Ma, education senior, and Bill Harman, chemistry senior.
White Hearing Delav Seen
The chairman said a formal decision on whether to postpone or go ahead with the hearing probably will be announced later today.
Velde did not say the hearing, to which Mr. Truman has been subpoenaed for 9:30 a.m. CST tomorrow, will be cancelled. His phrase was "possession until a future date."

Dean Lawson to Quit At End of School Year
One team represents the "house" and the opposing team represents the "speaker" in'the British style of parliamentary debate, which will be used tomorrow. It is as though a speaker were addressing a house of Parliament on some issue, and the speaker may be challenged at any time by the house.
Short Classes Tomorrow For Debate on Reds
Classes will be shortened tomorrow for the convocation debate at 9:30 a.m. between Oxford university and KU teams.
Jack Stewart, second year law, and Kent Shearer, third year law will represent KU.
Patrick Mayhew and John Peters, British debaters, will arrive in Lawrence this afternoon to prepare for the debate on the question of outlawing the Communist party.
Last year a team from Cambridge university debated here, but no Oxford team has been here since before World War II.
To prove this point, Mr. Giffin quoted a British debater of several years ago as saying of Americans, "After you've had your Cadlaeas; after you've had your Hadacol, what then? Are you a happy people?"
An Oxford team first debated at the University in 1924, when the subject was prohibition. R.A.Butter, now Chancellor of the Exchequer in Britain and one of the leaders of the Conservative party, was a member of that team.
Peters and Mayhew both are members of the Oxford Union Debating society. Mayhew, politically a Conservative, is a law student. Peters, a political independent, hopes to enter a career in civil service.
"British debaters are good speakers." Mr. Giffin said. "They don't spend much time in argument, but attempt to gain approval from, rather than convince, the audience. The American tradition in debate is to look for the facts and try to prove them," he said.
There will be no judge for tomorrow's debate. In an audience debate, a winner is not determined, Kim Giffin; debate coach, said.
Dr. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, yesterday announced he would retire from that position at the end of the current school year.

Lecture on Patents Scheduled Tonight
Carl G. Hovey, Kansas City patent lawyer, will speak at a meeting of the American Society of Tool Engineers today at 8 p.m. at the Faculty club on the subject of patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

Snow White & Co. Return Friday
The seven lovable dwarfs and their idol, Snow White, and the birth-to-death existence of elk 8k of the northwestern U.S., two Walt Disney films, comprise tomorrow's Film Series fare.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the first full-length all-cartoon musical in color, and "The Olympic Elk," a true life movie of life among American elk, will be shown tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium, the third night of movies in the Film Series. Fifteen minutes of organ music, starting at 7:15 p.m., will precede the showings.
The Snow White story needs no retelling. Millions saw the picture in the first years after it was released early in 1933. It was re-released in 1944 and again broke box office records.
to the story.
The film to be shown here tomorrow is a second re-release, with the accent now being on the dwarfs, with particular emphasis on Dopey, who has proved to be the picture's most popular character.
The filming of the lives of the elk was done by Herb and Lois Crisler, two of the top naturalists in the country, and took more than two years. The sound track was recorded on the spot and lends a note of authenticity
In the final program of the film series before Christmas vacation, Dec. 4, another Disney true life film will be shown with a Danish movie with English titles, "Water Birds," by Disney, and "Dite, Child of Man," will be the two.

A striking contrast is evidenced between the tiny creatures of "Nature's Half Acre", the last Disney nature
FIGHT TO THE FINISH—Giant bull elks clash in fierce combat, locking deadly antlers as they strive for place and honor on the range in Walt Disney's thrilling, true life adventure, "The Olympic Elk," which will be shown with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium, the third of this year's film series.
The 65-year-old dean, who spent his first 15 years of his life in India where his parents were Methodist missionaries, became dean in July, 1934, upon the death of Dean J. C. Brandt. He has been at the University since 1916, when he was an instructor in entomology.
The University requires deans and administrators to retire at 65, but Dean Lawson will teach entomology for the next five years before retiring from the teaching staff in 1959.
"I have had a good time as dean, but I shall be glad just to devote my time to teaching. I love- to teach but have never taught exactly as I want to, and think I could if I had the time," he said.
Dr. Lawson became an assistant professor in 1920, associate professor in 1921, professor and assistant dean in 1922, associate dean in 1929, acting dean in 1933, and dean in 1934.
Throughout his years at Mt. Oread, Dr. Lawson became known as one who would tolerate almost anything except laziness. He repeatedly claimed the University's facilities as among the nation's best, and often debunked the notion that students in smaller colleges receive more individual attention than those at KU.
At present University officials are engaged in finding a successor.
are engaged in finding a successor. George B. Smith, dean of the University, said that Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has been spending much time reducing a long list that includes candidates from many other schools and universities. When the list is cut down to workable size, interviewing will begin and a new dean should be named before the end of the school year.
Dr. Lawson is widely known in the area as a speaker, and has spoken in all but three of the Kansas counties. For about 25 years, until 1947 he preached almost every Sunday at the West Side Presbyterian church, but termed his sermons "talks" because he is not an ordained minister. He still teaches a Sunday School class at that church.
Dr. and Mrs. Lawson will continue to reside in Lawrence.
