Humphrey Says Budget Will Not Be Balanced
NEARLY COMPLETED The final stages of reroofing Fraser's familiar red-topped towers has been interrupted by a series of rainstorms. Despite the rain these workmen took every advantage of the clear periods to try to finish the job. Shortly after this picture was taken the rain began again. The new top will have a metal base which is expected to survive the howling Kansas storms better than the old roof.

Secretary of Treasury George M.
Humphrey put it this way:
"There is no prospect at all for anything but an increase in the national debt at the present moment." The national debt is $265,533,000,000.
Mr. Humphrey testified before the Senate foreign relations committee on the administration's $5.8 billion foreign aid program for the fiscal year starting July 1.

A-Bomb Blasts Desert Targets
Las Vegas, Nev. —(U.P.)—One of the most powerful atomic bombs ever exploded in the United States was set off this morning a half mile above an elaborate array of targets at the Frenchman Flat proving ground.
Targets exposed to the flame, fury, and deadly radioactivity of the atomic explosion ranged all the way from a transplanted pine forest and steel bridges, built above the waterless desert, to jet drone airplanes carrying "crews" of monkeys and mice.

Pach Unit Snubs Kansan Reporter
A polite but firm "iron curtain" sifted down around the Inner Circle of Pachacamac last night as the Daily Kansan was thwarted in its attempts to cover the group's meeting.
An attic vase dating from the 5th century B.C. has recently been added to the Wilcox museum in Fraser hall.
Pach president Larry Loftus, college sophomore, was contacted early in the evening. He told the Kansan he was sorry, but that he "didn't know" where the meeting was to be.
The vase, of the two-handled type called amphora, was purchased from Paul Gardner, director of the Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City. The vase was found in Italy in the 1930s and purchased by Dr. Gardner.
Pach secretary Darrell Fanestil, college sophomore, also said he "didn't know" where the meeting was to be. Fanestil is the officer charged with notifying other members of meeting times and places.
Several other Inner Circle members knew nothing of the meeting's location, despite the fact that the party fines those who miss meetings. Each one contacted was "sorry, but he didn't know."
Worcester phoned a report to the Kansan this morning. He said it was decided at last night's meeting that Loftus is to attend meetings of NOW party. In other business, he said, the group heard reports from Pach members in the Senate and House of Representatives of the All Student Council.
Fanestil said, "Tm leaving town tonight. My sister is having a baby."
Another Pach officer who was said to have left town was treasurer Robert Worcester, engineering sonhomore.

Miss Norton made her U.S. debut in Carnegie hall. She has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Pittsburgh symphonies.
Miss Norton studied under the same teachers as did Paul Snyder, professor of piano, in London, Berlin, and Italy. She will be a guest of the Snyders while in Lawrence.

U.S. Civilians Start Indo-China Airlift
Hanoi, Indo-China — (U.P.)— American civilian pilots, flying the latest model U.S. cargo planes, today began parachuting emergency supplies to the main French-Union defenses of invaded Laos.
The work was composed for the Russian ambassador, Count Kaiserling, who was in ill health, and was designed to comfort his troubled mind. It was played for him by Bach's best pupil, Goldberg, hence
The Americans went into action $ ^{8} $
The pilots, identified by the French command as U.S. civilians, dropped five tons of supplies from each of two "flying boxcars."
The operation was reminiscent of the exploits of the American "Flying Tigers" during the early phases of the Sino-Japanese war.
A French command spokesman said the air drop to the defenders on the Plaine Des Jarres was a trial run to give the Americans the feel of the country.
All six of the huge cargo planes which arrived at Hanoi recently from Korea will go into operation on the airlift tomorrow, a spokesman said.
French authorities said the buildup of Indo-China's defenses must continue because it is possible the Viet Minh Communist forces may be regrouping for a concerted thrust against Paksane, the Mekong river town on the Thailand frontier.
The spokesman said air reconnaissance showed the position of the enemy forces unchanged from yesterday.
The main Red troop concentrations are some 50 miles north of the royal capital of Luang Prabang. The spinner force that drove within 25 miles of Paksane still is poised in the same position.
French pilots estimated that the strength of the main enemy concentration had grown to more than a regiment in the past 24 hours, with another 3,000 troops strung out farther south.
UN to Demand POW Guarantee
Pamunjomjo — (U.P.) The United Nations will demand at a truce meeting tomorrow that the Communists give a firm guarantee against any attempt to force repatriation of anti-Rad war prisoners.
The demand will be made in reply to an eight-point Communist proposal on disposition of the anti-Red prisoners which the Peiping radio hailed as laying the basis for "immediately bringing about an armistice."
It is believed that Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison, senior UN truce delegate, will give the Allied reply to chief Communist negotiator Gen. Nam il at a truce meeting scheduled for 9 p.m. Friday CST.
Gen. Harrison is expected to fire at Nam a series of searching questions as to the Communists' real intention in proposing that the fate of the anti-Communist prisoners who refuse repatriation be put up to a political conference.
It was made plain in New York last night by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the UN will not accept any plan which might leave the anti-Commist prisoners in danger of accepting forced repatriation or facing endless imprisonment.
The United States stand on the Red proposals was worked out at a meeting in Washington yesterday.
