Eisenhower's Office Like Grand Central Station
New York—(U.P.)—Rush hour at Grand Central station is twice a day, morning and evening. Next door at the Commodore hotel, every hour is rush hour in the sixth-floor corridor outside Dwight D. Eisenhower's office suite.
The swirl of photographers, reporters, and plain and fancy visitors sometimes achieve a total jam. On those occasions, entrance to, or egress from, the President-elect's office is attained by opening the southwest corner of the mouth and bulbering:
"Gangway! Open up, Open up!"
At this behest, the block of humanity at the Eisenhower gateway does a weak sesame, and the visitor—distinguished or otherwise—is able to shove his way through.
To a visitor of the diplomatic stature and social grace of British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, the holter method is not seemly. Mr. Eden had his own system yesterday. He used a flying wedge.
N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy in charge of the observatory, said he hadn't seen the meteor and found out about it from students who had heard reports on the radio.
The KU observatory had no comment on the meteor which streaked across Kansas early yesterday evening.
Both going into luncheon with Gen. Elenhower and coming out, Mr Eden's aides ran smart interference for him.
Observers located the meteor over central or southwestern Kansas.
Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, presented a paper on "Chemistry in Egypt." Dr. Gilbert P. Haught Jr., assistant professor of chemistry, read two papers, "Current Trends in Chemical Education," and "Inorganic Oxidation-Reduction Mechanisms."
Three representatives of the University chemistry department participated in the fall chemistry conference of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical society this week at the University of Kansas City.
Patricia Reynolds, graduate student, presented a paper on catalyzed reductions.
But anyone arriving for the first
No Meteor, Saucer; Nothing Much Here
time by elevator at the Eisenhower floor these days is in for a trying experience. When the elevator doors open, the visitor finds about 50 photographic lenses leering at him. The photographers take no chances. Anyone behind those opening doors might be a prospective cabinet member.
Mrs. P. A. Petitt, Paola, the only Kansan ever to be elected to the General Assembly council of the Presbyterian church, will speak on "The American Adventure" at the annual praise service at 6:30 p.m. Sunday in Danforth chapel.
If he is a prominent person, he is greeted with flashbulb lighting, shouts of "Hey! Hey! Move over! Hold it, hold it!" from the photographers, and questions from the reporters. When he comes out from the Eisenhower conference the whole act is repeated, but in a more frantic key.
The service is sponsored by the Women's guild of Westminster fellowship. Joan Cutridge, college junior, is in charge of the program. Miss Irene Peabody, associate professor of music, will direct the choir.

Elbel Praises VA's Actions Hits Korean Veteran Aid Bill
About 90 deans and registrars from Kansas colleges and universities heard Dr. E. R. Ebel, director of the Veterans bureau at KU, defend the Veterans Administration's performance in regard to the GI Bill yesterday.
Photographers squirming in the narrow entranceway scream at each other to get the hell out of the way. They stand on tiptoe, on chairs, brace their feet on doorknobs, and lean over each other at grotesque angles to make pictures.
The all-day meeting of deans and registrars was presided over by Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College. Chancellor Murphy extended the welcome.
Dr. Elbel said he believed the VA has done "a terrific job" under all sorts of handicaps, "Every time Congress has met," he said, "the Veterans Administration either got their appropriations cut or boosted."
Dirt from the gully was washed down the hill into the doorways of buildings below the terrace and into 16th street. However, no other damage was done.
education bill for Korean veterans a "slipshod" piece of legislation, which has many inherent difficulties in its administration.
He defended the Korean veteran's right to a higher education and attacked institutions which refuse Korean veterans on the grounds that they're "second rate."
EXPERT WATCH
REPAIR
The broken main, directly behind the Buildings and Grounds building, is being repaired. The main runs beneath a terrace that had recently been completed behind the building.
"To assume that because a student doesn't ask for deferment or doesn't get one, that he is a second-rate student, is poor reasoning," he said.
Employees called to the scene last night said the break was caused by loose dirt in the terrace settling and putting too much pressure on the pipes.
On the other hand, he termed the
Split Main Cuts Off Sunnyside Water

Guaranteed Satisfaction

A broken water main that stopped water supply to Sunnyside washed a gully 7 feet deep and 45 feet long about 12:30 a.m. today.
There were 162,800 more persons injured in U.S. motor vehicle accidents last year than in 1950.
One such visitor yesterday was Winthrop Aldrich, head of the Chase National bank, a distinguished, gray-haired, blue-eyed gent who had entered the suite without much fuss because nobody realized it was Winthrop Aldrich. His presence became known while he was within, and the press made ready for his coming out.
"I haven't any comment," he said pleasantly, and left.
When he emerged into the hubbub, he was startled but calm. He gathered his rich black coat about him, clutched his gray hat in his hand, and made his way slowly to the center of the corridor. Cameras snapped. Questions popped. Aldrich pondered them, looked grave. His mouth moved.
Eisenhower never ventures outside the receptionist's railing barricade—except to leave at night. Then he goes straight home to Morningside Heights and goes to bed early. No visitors. He has enough of them at the office.
