Peace Pact to Receive Acid Test
By CHUCK MORELOCK
It'll be interesting to see if the KU-K-State peace pact can harness any excess enthusiasm or merely be written off as a scrap of paper at the annual intra-state grid brawl Saturday.
Lightning accounts for nearly 400 deaths, 1,000 injuries, five per cent of the nation's fires and property loss of about $20 million annually.
If last Wednesday's incident in Manhattan is any indication, pact provisions will recieve the same close attention as a lecture in insects and man on the last day of school before Christmas vacation.
For a dinner between the rival schools was held in the downstream city that night which was designed to promote good will, inter-campus harmony, and nonsense of that nature. After the dinner, however, Al Student Council president Dick Sheldon found his car painted with the inscription: "Beat KU."
The pact was drawn up in 1931 in an effort to curb school fights and rowdy pre-game activities. In 1947, the agreement was revised to require reports of pact violations. These were to be turned over to a joint committee consisting of representatives from both schools.
If conditions are improved now, however, the national guard must have been required to stand watch in pre-31 contests.
Just three years ago, a slight rift developed between rival fans at Manhattan. That was the year K-State jumped off to a 7-0 lead midway in the first quarter then watched the Jayhawkers go "one play, all the way" four times in the second quarter. The game ended with K-State snowed under 7-47.
The action wasn't over when the final gun sounded, however. KU fans swarmed on the field to tear down the Aggie goalposts. The mass fight which followed wasn't broken up until police fired tear gas into the combatants.
The following year, K-State representatives decorated Mt. Oread with bright paint and carried signs urging their heroes to "spill, snob hill." They didn't.
Last fail, Wildcat students formed a defending line around the K-State goalposts at Manhattan but the usual fight didn't come about.
That 34-0 blanking by Oklahoma probably won't dampen K-State spirits Saturday. They've been drubbed by KU eight straight years but are confident the string will end. We'll take that bet.
Tarzan Thief Has Good Night Cincinnati —(U.P.)— Police said Tarzan couldn't have done a better job than the burglar who invaded a food warehouse here during the weekend. The jungle-type burglar climbed a tree outside the building, hopped over to the roof, removed roofing and metal sheeting to get through a ventilator hole, dropped to a platform, tied a rope around a rafter and swung to the floor level. He made his exist by the same route, carrying 20 packages of cigarettes, 10 bars of candy and $110 in cash.
Ike Administration Rocked By Democrat Vote Victories
Washington—(U.P.)The Eisenhower administration was hard hit by a Democratic election triumph in New Jersey which sliced the Republican House majority to a pair of seats and took the governor's office for the first time in 10 years.
Democratic leaders called off-year election returns from New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and a scattering of other states the beginning of a trend which would sweep them into office in 1954 and 1956. Republicans conceded they were in political trouble—"as of today."
Democrats easily won New York City's municipal election and beat down a Republican effort to establish a two-party system in Virginia.
The new standing of parties in the House:
National interest centered on a byelection in New Jersey's sixth Congressional district which had been steadily Republican since it was established in its present boundaries 21 years ago.
Republicans 218; Democrats 215;
Independent 1; vacant 1.
Paul L. Troast, Republican, conceded a few minutes after midnight that he had lost the New Jersey race for governor to Robert B. Meyner, Democrat.
Democrat.
Incomplete returns gave Mr. Meyner 847,460 votes; Mr. Troast 686,519.
Democrat Robert F. Wagner Jr., easily was elected mayor of New York in a light vote.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd's Democratic organization elected a governor to defeat a powerful Republican effort
to establish a two-party system in Virginia.
With 1,693 of 1,815 precincts reported, Democrat Thomas B. Stanley had 204,949 votes; Republican Ted Dalton. 163,314.
The Virginia result had been expected, but the Byrd organization had to go all-out to obtain it.
