Suicide Blamed On Despondency
Despondency over life in general was the motive given today for the suicide in St. Joseph, Mo., Saturday, of an 18-year-old education freshman.
The student. Jack F. King, who lived at 1537 Tennessee st. in Lawrence, shot himself at his home, according to Harry Crowell, acting chief of police.
Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, quoted King's parents as saying the boy had been despondent since the Thanksgiving holidays over his grades. Dr. Woodruff said the boy's grades were well above average.
Dr. Woodruff said the parents also said they considered the grades as only part of the picture and that King was unsatisfied with life in general.
Kansas City Blast Levels Building
Kansas City, Mo.—U(P.P.)A thunderous explosion rocked south Kansas City early today, routed hundreds of persons from their beds in nearby apartments and hotels and caused damage "well in excess of a half-million dollars."
No one was reported injured by the blast, which leveled one building and shattered glass panes over a six to eight block area.
The explosion, followed by fire, occurred in a small restaurant, the Chili Bowl, apparently from an accumulation of gas, according to Fire Chief Harvey Baldwin.
Nine companies were rushed to the area to battle flames.
The concussion damaged walls of about five buildings immediately south of the Chili Bowl, in the Armour and Broadway vicinity, but the raging fire which threatened a four-story garage near the restaurant was kept under control, Mr. Baldwin said.
Three motor cars parked in a lot next to the restaurant were blown a dozen feet by the force of the explosion. Another, across the street—a wide, 4-lane trafficway—was punctured with holes from flying debris "just as if it had been riddled by a machine gun."
A block from the explosion, the huge plate glass window in the front of the Ambassador hotel was "sucked out into the street in a split second."
Students Return From Vacation Without Accident
Sen. Knowland said statehood for Hawaii was the sole subject of the senators' discussion, which lasted nearly an hour.
"We're all in favor of statehood for Hawaii and we wanted to make known our views to Gen. Eisenhower." Sen. Knowland said.
"Hawaii's case is a stronger case" than that of Alaska, he said, "from the point of view of how long it has been a territory, the amount of taxes it pays, and other factors."
Sen. Knowland was accompanied by three other Republican senators—Hugh Butler of Nebraska, Guy Gordon of Oregon, and Arthur W. Watkins of Utah. Sen. Butler, who will be chairman of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs committee, which deals with the territories, was previously opposed to statehood for Hawaii, but now favors it. Sen. Knowland said.
He expressed hope that there would be no filibuster against the new bill to grant statehood to Hawaii. A filibuster killed statehood for Alaska in the last session of Congress.
Hydrogen Blast May Be Second
New York —(U.P.)— Four powerful western senators said after visiting President-elect Eisenhower today that a bill to make Hawaii a new state will be introduced in Congress next week. They predicted its passage. Sen. William F. Knowland of California, chairman of the Senate Republican policy committee in the new Senate, said as spokesman for the group that he could not "speak for the general" but he believed Hawaii "will get statehood at a reasonably early date."
Senators Predict Hawaii Approval
Chicago—(U.R.)A scientific editor said today that hydrogen bomb material may have been exploded 18 months before the testing of an H-bomb in the Pacific last November.
Sen. Knowland said the group did not discuss stancech for Alaska.
Television Grant Deadline Nears; $200,000 Must be Raised by Jan.31
Eugene Rabinowitch, editor of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, said the first explosion of H-bomb material may have occurred at Eniwetok atoll early in 1951.
Twenty-six days remain for the University to obtain $200,000 to take advantage of a $100,000 grant for the development of educational television here made early in December by the Fund for Adult Education, an independent agency established by the Ford Foundation.
Later the possibility was pointed out that the University's $65,000 FM radio tower may count toward the
Six thousand students are back on the campus today following a 15-day accident free Christmas-New Year's vacation
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and R. Edwin Browne, director of University Radio and Television, have made no further announcements on the fund-raising. At the time of the offer, Chancellor Murphy said that it was hoped the bulk of the sum would come from legislative appropriation, supplemented with private contributions.
A similar offer was made to Kansas State college, providing that both schools double the gifts by Jan. 31. Unofficial University sources have indicated they believe the Fund for Adult Education will extend the deadline for raising the additional funds.
The University opposed this because of the scarcity of UHF receiving sets and the additional power required for this type of transmission.
The four-way fight for channel 11 was deadlocked while the FCC had a "freeze" on all new television stations. In support of its claim, the
$200,000 goal. The tower was a gift of the family of Fred Harris, late publisher of several Kansas newspapers and former member of the state board of regents.
The story of the development on educational TV at the University began unfolding on April 15, 1951 when the University filed an official declaration of intention for very high-frequency channel 11 with the Federal Communications commission in Washington.
The next month three radio stations and the Kansas City city council petitioned that channel 11 be transferred for commercial use there and that an ultra-high-frequency channel be allocated for non-commercial use in Lawrence.
The joint committee has been meeting periodically since its inception to work out programming, production, and engineering problems for the day when both schools' stations will be in operation.
University filed a 36-page sworn statement in the fall of 1951.
Then on April 1, 1952, the commission lifted the freeze and tentatively set aside channel 11 in Lawrence and channel 8 in Manhattan for educational purposes.
Early last year the University and Kansas State college announced they would cooperate in making educational TV service available for Kansas. Under the plan each station will originate half of the local programs to be televised over both stations.
At a recent meeting the committee decided that the University would apply immediately for a formal station permit. This will be done after legal and engineering counsel is approved by the board of regents. Kansas State received its permit early this fall.
Nationally, 1,383 Americans died in holiday accidents during the same period. Of that number 25 persons died in Missouri and Kansas. Nine persons died in highway accidents in Missouri and 10 in Kansas highway mishaps.
Road conditions in this area were much safer during this period than they were during the Thanksgiving vacation. During the Thanksgiving vacation heavy snows and slick highways made driving treacherous and caused many students to be stranded in Western Kansas.
Latest United Press tabulations show that 619 persons were killed between 6 p.m. last Wednesday and midnight Sunday. Of these 417 died in traffic mishaps, 15 were killed in airplane crashes, 54 died in fires, and 133 died in other miscellaneous accidents.
The total of 417 persons killed in highway accidents during the New Year's holiday set a new record of death for that period.
Of the 1,383 persons killed during the long holiday period 1,005 were killed in traffic accidents.
Moreover, the Christmas period set a new all time record for highway carriage with a total of 538 persons killed.
Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safety council, termed the record a "national disgrace" and invited the public to send him suggestions for "stopping this carriage."
Fieldhouse Steel Available Soon
A construction time of approximately two years after the steel arrives is expected by the builders, but it is possible that part of the huge structure could be completed by the end of 1954 and some of the 1954-55 basketball schedule played in the arena that will seat over 16.000.
The 2.700 tons of steel necessary to complete the long-awaited University fieldhouse-armory may be forthcoming in the spring of this year. University officials said today.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said that shortly after the University received priorities for the material, the steel strike occurred the past summer. Since then government orders have taken nearly all of the steel. Also, the type of steel needed for the building is the hardest to get.
Construction originally was scheduled to be nearly complete by this time, but an embargo on steel in the summer of 1951 and the recent 1952 events have caused the stale-mate.
Bear, Trapper. Die in Alaska
