ONE WAY TO BEAT THE HEAT—Members of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity found the ideal solution for studying for finals in the melting heat yesterday. They filled a small tank and boat with water, donned swimming trunks, and crammed in comfort. Soaking and studying above are Stanley Stringer, college freshman, and Ralph Wallace, education freshman. The picture was taken before the rains came.
Canadian Plane With10 Men Missing in the Northwest
Powers, Ore.—(U.P.)—An air-ground search got under way early today for a missing Canadian Air Force Lancaster bomber, believed to have crashed in the rugged foothills of the Sisklyou mountains with 10 men aboard.
The four-engined plane disappeared while flying from Vancouver, B.C., to San Diego, Calif., yesterday morning. It last reported its position off Newport, Ore.
At the time, a tremendous storm was blowing in from the Pacific. The wind and rain continued all day long and prevented a full-scale search.
Several clues to the whereabouts of the missing plane were reported from Oregon and California, but the best came from 14 persons in the Myrtle Creek area, about 100 miles south of Newport. They said they laid the engines of a big plane flying very low.
None of the Myrtle Creek residents could see the plane's lights. All agreed it was headed Southwest, that is, flying in from the Pacific. Several persons said the sound of the engines came to an abrupt halt. Myrtle Point residents said the plane was flying through one of the worst storms ever experienced in their area.
Instructors and other regular employees who are members of the Blue Cross-Blue Shield employee group have until June 5 to take advantage of the new Blue Cross-Blue Shield extended benefits rider.
Ty Cobb played 24 years in the major league, seeing action in 3,033 games. He batted 11,429 times.
This service is optional to Blue Cross-Blue Shield members, and will become effective July 1, it was announced by the University business office today.
Family members of Blue Cross-Blue Shield may obtain the new dread disease coverage for only sixty cents a month, while the same coverage will be available to single patients for only thirty cents a month.
Insurance Benefits Ready for Staff
For this small amount protection against polio and eight other diseases will be increased up to ten thousand dollars. That this amount is frequently needed was demonstrated during the recent polio epidemic in Kansas. The amount offered under this new program is much greater than is generally available for this same type of coverage.
High School Senior Drowns at Wichita
Wichita — (U.P.)— An 18-year-old East High school senior who was scheduled to be graduated next Monday drowned in Wilson lake north of the Wichita city limits last night.
The youth's body was recovered about $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ hours later in 15 feet of water about 60 feet from shore.
Authorities said Kenneth Lanz went swimming with three companions, who reported they tried to cross the river after he had scrumped for help.
Companions with him at the time were Max Turniseed, John Cantrell and Kenneth Burleson, each 17, from Wichita.

Congress Lauds Ex-Romanian Who Refused to Betray U.S.
Washington — (U.R.)— Members of Congress today praised the courageous patriotism of V. C. Georgescu, the naturalized American who spurned a chance to ransom his two children from Red Romania by betraying his adopted country.
Fugitive Captured In Heavy Traffic
Two agents captured David Dallas Taylor, 28, in heavy traffic here yesterday. The fugitive, who was known to sleep with a pistol under his pillow, was to be arraigned before U.S. Commissioner C. S. Bentley Pike upon on a charge of unlawful flight to avoid confinement on a charge of murder.
Chicago —(U,P)— The FBI today crossed a convicted murderer and clever escape artist off its list of "10 most wanted criminals."
Taylor, who has escaped custody at least four times, stands convicted of the murder of a guard in his first jail break.
Oatis to Undergo TB Observation
New York —(U.P.) — Newsman William Oatis, recently released from a Czechoslovakian prison, has cancelled plans for a vacation and will enter a sanitarium for observation and treatment of a lung condition.
Frank J. Starzel, general manager of the Associated Press, announced that Ontario would spend an "in-definite portion" sanitarium in the New York area.
"He contracted tuberculosis while in prison in Prague and the examining physician found evidence that the disease probably is still active in a small area," Mr. Starzel said.
The Communist attempt to blackmail Mr. Georgescu into espionage angered lawmasters of both parties, and brought demands that the United States close down the Romanian legation.
But official anger was mixed with a feeling of frustration, since there is very little this country can do to protect the lives of the two teenage boys held somewhere in a Romanian prison camp.
The State department, which already has ordered a Romanian diplomat out of the country for the blackmail attempt, apparently planned no further action. Officials said this country had no plans to break off diplomatic relations with Romania.
The story of parental heroism came to light yesterday when the department announced the expulsion of Christache Zambrei, first secretary of the Romanian legation here. It disclosed that he had approached Mr. Georgescu in New York and Angela children to come to America if the parents would become spies for Romania.
Instead, Mr. Georgescu went to the FBI with the whole story, trusting that outraged world opinion would prevent Romanian authorities from harming the children.
