Quick Action Discussed On Bohlen Nomination
Washington—(U.P.)-Senate leaders considered urgent action on the nomination of Charles E. Bohlen as ambassador to Russia today to speed him to Moscow to make an on-the-scenes analysis of developments growing out of Premier Stalin's grave illness.
Speculation on an imminent struggle for power inside the Kremlin and the possible dangers presented for the West lay behind a movement by some senators and the State department to get Mr. Bohlen on his way. He is a leading Soviet expert who speaks the Russian language, and who knows the Russian people and their leaders.
Top officials conferred on the situation all day yesterday. President Eisenhower called an unscheduled meeting with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden last night.
The Senate Foreign Relations committee summoned undersecretary of state Walter Bedell Smith to a closed-door session to give up an up-to-date review of the Russian situation. Mr. Smith's views were sought because of his experience as a former ambassador to Moscow and as a former chief of the Central Intelligence Agency as well as his present position.
Sen. H. Alexander Smith, (R-N.J.) a member of the committee, voiced the sentiment of many key legislators when he urged rapid action by the committee and the Senate on Mr. Bohlen's approval.
The Voice of America beamed Mr. Eisenhower's Stalin statement behind the Iron Curtain on a round-the-clock basis. The President avoided showing any sympathy for Premier Stalin, merely expressing the interest of the American people in maintaining peace.
Law Passes Legislature
Topeka —(U.P.)— The first piece of major legislation to clear both houses and the governor's desk was law today, creating a 22-member citizens commission to study equalization of taxes and assessments.
Meanwhile, the Senate had moved 12 bills into final passage and the House had three bills up for final count.
Rep. Ewing Herbert, chairman of the forestry, fish, and game committee of the House, expected to introduce today a bill to raise hunting, fishing, and trapping license fees from $1.50 to $2.
House bills up for final passage to-day would:
Require proof of motorists' financial responsibility, making drivers and owners of vehicles involved in accidents post security with the vehicle department of the State Highway commission.
Allow courts to require psychiatric examination of second offenders before they are committed to prison, and their commitment to state hospitals instead if the examination indicates mental abnormality.
Permit the city of Leavenworth to accept access ways for a bridge over the Missouri river and to issue revenue bonds to construct a bridge replacing one owned by the U.S. Justice department.

Bernadine Read Returns With Waring's Orchestra
By VALERA TEBBEN
When Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians appear in Hoch auditorium Saturday, many eyes will be focused on one pretty girl who has a host of friends here—Bernadine Read, a featured soprano in the Waring Glee Club, who walked down the Hill in June 1950.
Bernadine, a tiny (five-foot-two) blond, was born in Altamont and attended Baxter Springs High school. Her parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Charles Madison Read, live at 221 E. 10th St., Baxter Springs.
INDEPENDENT
Bernadine came to KU to major in voice under Joseph and Marie Wilkins of the School of Fine Arts. In her four years here she was a member of the A Cappella choir, was active in college musicals, and had a part in "The Mikado."
Laundry and Dry Cleaners
She was a member of Delta Delta Delta, Sigma Alpha Iota, and Mortar Board, and went to the 1948 Orange Bowl game as cheerleader.
Her first TV experience was gained on WDAF-TV two years ago on "Let's Rehearse," a stint which occupied her time for thirteen weeks. Urged by Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins, she went to New York and joined a light opera quartet for an 11-week tour.
