Ike to Name More Cabinet Members
New York—(U.P.)President-elect Eisenhower today was expected to disclose his choices for several more top jobs in the new administration, including one or more of the men who will fill the three remaining Cabinet posts.
Sources close to the President-elect said he already had completed his cabinet, but the nominees for the three remaining posts—Labor, Commerce, and Postmaster General—would not be made public until he confers personally with each man.
Gen. Eisenhower announced yesterday his appointment of Ezra Taft Benson of Salt Lake City, as Secretary of Agriculture, and of Gov. Sherman Adams of New Hampshire as assistant to the President.
Lewis W. Douglas, former U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, prominently mentioned as a nominee for the Commerce post, was included on a long list of callers who were to begin meeting with Eisenhower as early as 7 a.m. (CST).
Mr. Douglas, regarded in the past as a Democrat, solidly backed Gen. Eisenhower during the campaign.
Walter Williams of Seattle, Wash., who served as co-chairman of the Citizens for Eisenhower Group, also has been highly regarded as a possible choice for Secretary of Commerce.
Gen. Eisenhower's first meeting today was with Dr. Grayson L. Kirk, acting head of Columbia university. Gen. Eisenhower recently submitted his resignation as president of the school. They met at Gen. Eisenhower's Morningside Drive residence, after which the President-elect left for his Commodore hotel headquarters.
He conferred there with Ralph Cake, former GOP national committee from Washington; Harold Talbott, of the Republican finance committee, Mr. Douglas, and a half dozen close friends whose visits were considered purely social.
Altogether, the President-elect's calling list today indicated he was clearing away as much as possible all the loose details of building his new administration in order to have better facilities for parts soon for Korea. Details of the Korean trip will be secret under strict security regulations.
Tuesday, Nov. 25, 1952
Gen. Eisenhower was said not only to have completed his Cabinet choices but to have lined up almost completely his top level White House staff, which will be headed by Gov. Adams as presidential assistant.
His secretariat was expected to consist of Tom Stephens, appointments; James C. Hagerty, press, and Arthur E. Vandenberg Jr., in a post not yet clearly defined. Under the present budget, the President is limited to 3 secretaries at $18,000 per year, and six administrative assistants at $15,000 each.
Gov. Adams' post as assistant to the President now pays $20,000 annually. Gov. Adams' appointment raised the question as to the future of Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R-Mass.), now serving as Gen. Eisenhower's liaison man with the outgoing administration.
Sen. Lodge, who lost his Senate seat in the election previously had been mentioned for the post which Gov. Adams got. There was some reason that Lodge might be named to head the country's United Nations delegation.
The appointment of Benson, a distant relative and supporter of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio), was greeted with approval by political and agricultural circles alike.
Sen. Taft said Mr. Benson was the only one of his suggestions for Cabinet posts which Gen. Eisenhower had accepted. He added, however, that he had no objections to any of Eisenhower's appointments. Mr. Benson, 53, long has been associated with farm cooperatives.
Topeka — (U.P.)— Gov. Edward F. Arn today will hear presidents of the University of Kansas, the University Medical School, and state colleges at Pittsburg, Emporia, and Hays make budget requests.
Budget Requests Made to Arn Today
The governor, Budget Director W G. Hamilton, and heads of the House and Senate Ways and Means committees have been meeting with heads of various Kansas institutions and departments in order to make recommendations of a 1954-55 budget to the 1953 legislature when it convenes.
Sorority 'Bowl Game' Postponed One Week
the University's only post-season "bowl game" — between Kappa Alpha Theta and Pi Beta Phi sororities—scheduled for yesterday has been postponed until 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1.
Rain and snow were given as the reason for postponement, although rumors are that many injuries on both sides were partly responsible.
Radio Players Present 'Curley
Ever hear of Curley, the terpsichorean caterpillar? Whether you have or not, you'll want to tune in radio station KANU at 5 p.m. Wednesday for the story of "My Client, Curley" by radio writers Lucille Fletcher and Norman Corwin.
This special half-hour Thanksgiving program is the first production of the year by the radio players. It is a fast-moving comedy produced and directed by Mrs. Ruby LeNeve Motta.
A total of 36 characterizations was needed for the production, including Spanish, French, and Chinese linguists and portrayals of the voices of Eleanor Roosevelt, Walt Disney, and Walter Winchell.
Curley was a remarkable caterpillar—he danced. But he danced to only one tune: "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby." An enterprising agent, played by Jerry Knudson, journalism junior, and his young caterpillar and his "young discoverer" trainer," Stinky, portrayed by Shirley Tinsley, college junior.
From then on anything and everything happens. The press has a heyday with the story. The entertainment world goes crazy over the insect protege. Scientists attempt to dissect Curley. Civic groups defend Curley. Musicians test Curley with musical stimuli.
And at the height of the excitement Curley disappears. What becomes of this big rug-cutter has made "My Client, Curley" a radio 'immortal.
Pach,FACTS Assail Report On Housing
Representatives of both campus political parties today took a slam at the All Student Council housing committee report issued yesterday.
Walter Rickel, pharmacy senior, Pachacamac president, said the greatest fault of the ASC committee report was that it did not present
Murphy Denies FSA Job Offer
Dr. Murphy, denying that he has been approached by anyone of authority on the subject, said the rumors probably stem from the story Time magazine published about him several weeks ago. Time speculated on the chancellor's being offered an Eisenhower cabinet post as public health administrator.
The rumors said Chancellor Murphy was the "ideal man" to succeed Oscar Ewing, present FSA administrator and advocate of compulsory health insurance. Dr. Murphy would change the FSA policy from socialization to something like the Kansas plan in medicine, the rumor said.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today denied rumors that he has been offered a position as Federal Security administrator in the Eisenhower administration.
The Kansas plan, which brought Dr. Murphy, then dean of the University School of Medicine, national fame, called for a larger legislative appropriation for the school. In this way more doctors, pledged to go into rural areas upon graduation, could be trained.
Dr. Murphy's background and training are ideal for administration of the FSA, which includes the offices of education, public health, and vocational rehabilitation, the story said.
The local test will be given from 8 to noon in the Military Science building. Students must have admission tickets and any Selective Service form with their SS number and address to be admitted.
The University will be one of the many centers giving the Selective Service college qualifications test the morning of Dec. 4.
Deferment Exam To Be Given Dec. 4
Four students and one faculty member probably will be forced to spend Thanksgiving vacation in Watkins hospital, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the hospital, said today. The patients will be served the traditional turkey dinner.
Rain and fog will make driving home for Thanksgiving vacation tedious for many students. The five-day vacation officially begins at 6 p.m. today.
Rain, Fog to Hamper Traffic For Students Driving Home
5 in Watkins Over Vacation
No special University Thanks giving services are preceding the holiday.
Eight-tenths of an inch of rain has fallen in the last 24 hours in Lawrence as of 7 a.m., C. J. Posey, Lawrence foreaster, reported.
Rain is expected to continue this afternoon and tonight.
Near-blizzard conditions hit Western Kansas today. Snow driven by fierce winds up to 35 miles per hour slashed visibility to zero in several sections. The storm headed eastward.
Students will return to classes Monday morning, Dec. 1 from the first holiday from classes since the opening of the fall semester Sept. 18. The vacation follows midsemester tests by less than a week.
There will be only 20 days of school after Thanksgiving vacation before the 15-day Christmas and New Year's holiday which begins Dec. 20 and ends Jan. 5.
Weather forecasters said the snow would continue in West Central Kansas another 12 to 18 hours.
The entire western half of Kansas was covered with two to five inches of snow in the first major storm of winter, the weather bureau sald.
The Kansas highway patrol warned motorists to stay home.
$ \textcircled{8} $recommendations for action
"If we've got a committee, it ought to do something. What students need is a definite plan of action provided by the housing committee to get money from the Alumni and other association," Rickel said.
"The only way to build adequate housing is to get the money to do it. Surely if the alumni and other groups can afford to build a $200,000 campanile, there is money enough to provide adequate housing."
Will Adams, graduate student, and FACTS vice president, said he "agreed whole-heartedly with the criticisms of the Pachacamac president."
Adams inserted that "the report is but a brief paraphrasing of the FACTS report and other common knowledge."
Adams and Rickel joined in a plea for "a concrete plan of action."
Adams pointed out that the FACTS resolution on housing, passed Thursday, gave assurance that the housing problem would not be made into a political football by the party and that further FACTS action on housing would be taken only at the request of the ASC housing committee or the chancellor.
Adams warned however if the committee drags its feet and the chancellor asks FACTS to help, it is certainly going to help.
According to Bill Wilson, ASC president, a meeting of representatives from interested campus organizations will be held immediately after Thanksgiving vacation. The adequacy of the ASC housing report will be discussed, and plans for distributing this information to Kansas citizens will be made.
Wilson is in hope that Statewide Activities will carry a big share of the load in getting this information before the people of Kansas. He hopes that this material will be ready and in the hands of the students and the people of Kansas by Christmas.
The ASC housing committee report was drawn up by Dean Glasco, engineering junior, chairman; Winifred Meyer, college sophomore; Fred Rice, college sophomore; Don Hortor, college senior, and Janey Snyder, engineering freshman.
