KU Not in 50 Schools That Produce Scholars
Chicago—(U.P.)-Two Wesleyan university psychologists said today that America's most promising scholars are produced by 50 of the nation's 800 colleges and universities.
In a book titled "The Younger American Scholar," published today, Robert H. Knapp and Joseph J. Greenbaum, said privately supported, co-educational colleges in the east and middle west are the main producers of the "bright young men of tomorrow."
The study was based on a statistical roster of 7,000 students in 562 schools and extended to include those students who, since 1946, have received Ph. D degrees or have received university fellowships and scholarships, governmental fellowships, or private foundation fellowships in open competition.
The study, according to Mr. Knapp and Mr. Greenbaum, showed that schools in the top fifth of tuition fees are several times more productive than the schools in the remaining four-fifths.
The psychologists said their findings showed schools in the north central states excelled in the scientific fields and New England schools in the humanities.
The select 50 schools, according to Mr. Knapp and Mr. Greenbaum, produced more than 10 male scholars for each 1,000 graduates.
Swarthmore college, Swarthmore, Pa., headed the list with 61.2 scholars for every 1,000 graduates followed by Reed college, Portland, Ore., the University of Chicago, 48.4. Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, 39.8 and Haverford college, Haverford, Pa., 39.5.
Schools found to produce more than 1 woman scholar for every 1,000 graduates included Bryn Mawr, Earnard, Radcliffe, Vassar, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, McMurray, Mount Hollyogy, Smith, Sienna Heights, Chicago and the University of North Carolina.
California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, produced slightly more than 48 per cent of all awards granted by technical institutions.
The top 20 schools in three categories are:
Humanities-Haverford, Kenyon, Oberlin, Queens, Juliillard, Princeton, Carleton, Grinnell, Knox, Swearth, Yale, Harvard, Trinity, Sweathmore, Chicago, Columbia, Antioch, St. Olaf, Hamilton and Amherst.
Social Sciences — Swarthmore, Reed, Chicago, University of the South, Carleton, Oberlin, Antioch, Haverford, Princeton, Yale, Pomona, Harvard, Wesleyan, Allegheny, Grinnell, Williams, Queens, Monmouth, Wabash and Amherst.
Science—California Institute of Technology, Swarthmore, Chicago, Reed, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Augustana, Oberlin, Johns Hopkins, Antioch, Cooper Union, Carleton, Purdue, Cornell, Brooklyn, Wooster, Princeton, Berea, Dpeau, Harvard, and Beloit.

Murphy Denies FSA Nomination
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today denied rumors that he might be chosen as special assistant to the secretary of a proposed cabinet department of health, education, and welfare.
"Nobody has talked to me about it. I'll say as I have said in regard to other rumors about my accepting a new position, I'm not interested in any way. I'm happy where I am, and I wish they'd leave me alone," the chancellor said when asked about the rumor.
It was the fourth time in the past few months that Dr. Murphy has scotched rumors that he might be "drafted" to a government position. In October the chancellor denied a job and said he would be chosen as secretary of health, education, and welfare in the Eisenhower administration.
The November rumor cited Dr. Murphy as a possible Federal Security administrator. Last month rumors that he might be a candidate for governor in 1956 were denied by the chancellor.
The plan proposed by President Eisenhower to Congress last week would transform the FSA to a full cabinet position. Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Fede al Security administrator, would be head of the department.
The plan provided for nomination of a special assistant to Mrs. Hobby to be chosen from the field of medicine.

British Arm Planes
Frankfurt, Germany—(U.P)—British bombers, fully armed and with jetfighter cover took to the air over West Germany today in the biggest Royal Air Force exercise since World War II.
The arming of the bombers and fighters was ordered after last week's series of Communist-Allied plane incidents which included the shooting down of a British bomber and an American Thunder jet by Red jets.
The U.S. Air Force, which this week is to be reinforced in Germany by 25 F-86 Sabre jets to match the Russian MIG-15s, will send its jets up to try to "knock
down" the British bombers in these maneuvers.
The air games—called exercise "jungle king"—are part of three separate "war games" being staged by the North Atlantic Treaty organization command.
The Naval forces of the new Mediterranean command of Admiral Earl Mountbatten—in exercise "rendezvous"—will test the newest NATO southern areas covering south Europe from Italy to North Africa and eastward to Turkey's frontier with Russia.
