Ike, Truman Confer Today In White House
Washington —(U.P.) President-elect Eisenhower flew here today for a face to face talk with President Truman and a rousing welcome by the city which will be his hometown after Jan. 20.
But before the two arch foes of the late campaign got down to the grim and difficult business which pulls them together now—the business of planning how to switch pilots without throwing the ship off course—the capital city paid its tumultuous respects to the World War II hero who will become the 34th president of the United States.
High on the agenda of the conference was a discussion of world danger points—such as Iran, the Near East, Korea, Indo-China. No joint communique is expected at its conclusion.
The 2 p.m. White House conference between the incoming and retiring leaders was dedicated to problems, worldwide in their scope, with which Gen. Eisenhower will have to grapple for the next four years.
Regardless of politics, this was L-Iike-Ike day for the capital.
Among the crowds at the airport and lining the streets to the White House were many who, as residents of the District of Columbia, couldn't have voted for Elsenhower if they had wished. Washingtonians are voteless.

Adlai to Help Fix Party Weak Spots
Chicago — (U.P.) — Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, unsuccessful presidential candidate, said today he would like to help strengthen "weak spots" in the Democratic party in the next four years.
He said he also intends to come back to Chicago, where his law firm is located, and "start making a living." He will be succeeded by a Republican as Illinois governor in January.
Gov. Stevenson returned here by air today from an Arizona vacation. He said in the next four years "I would like the privilege of expressing myself from time to time on important issues."
Gen. Clark Denies He Asked for Troops
Tokyo—(U.P)—Gen. Mark Clark said today his denial that he has asked for more divisions for Korea still stands.
An official spokesman for the Far East commander said the general "will stand on what he said before" regarding a Chicago Sun-Times report that he has made such a request.
The spokesman said Monday that "newspaper stories to the effect that he (Clark) had requested additional U. S. divisions for the purpose of mounting an offensive in Korea are without foundation in fact."

continue cool, ranging from 45 to 55. Several eastern Kansas communities received additional rainfall yesterday, following the Sunday night showers which were the heaviest in three months.
The display is dedicated to Johann Gutenberg, who 500 years ago first pressed paper to movable type.
The earliest type of writing in the collection is a Babylonian clay cylinder chronicling a royal decree of about 2500 B. C., and a sheet of papyrus from the Egyptian "Book of the Dead," dating from the Ptolemaic era, around 1800 B. C.
The great religious books are all represented. The collection includes the Jerome vulgate translation of the Bible, started in 404 A.D. and used as the standard Bible for more than 1,000 years. The Book of Hours, named for the arrangement of prayers to the Virgin is also among the exhibited books. This work dates back to around the sixth century.
Other books in the collection are the Psalter, the Gregorian chants compiled by Pope Gregory, the Koran, the Islamic Bible, and an Antiphonarium, a complete hymn book written in 1450.
The exhibition has been assembled by Frank Glenn, a bookseller and antiquary of Kansas City, Mo., and presented to the public by the Grolier Society, Inc., publishers of the Book of Knowledge.
Books in the collection are bound in a variety of materials from velvet to tooled and jeweled leather. Parts of the display come from England, France, Germany, Fersia and Ethiopia.
Housing Group To Confer Today
The new All Student Council housing committee, appointed yesterday by Bill Wilson, ASC president, will meet in the dean of men's office at 5 p.m. today to discuss the housing problem.
Wilson, who will meet with the committee today, said the purpose of the committee is to formulate a policy and organize a program to be made public through publication in the Daily Kansan, the Alumni and Endowment associations publications, and the Alumni association legislative committee.
Copies will be available for students to take home over Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations.
Wilson said it was important to get the problem before the people and interested groups before the Legislature meets Jan. 4.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy this morning added his endorsement to the Campus Chest campaign which is only four days from its conclusion.
Appointed to the committee are Dean L. Glasseco, 1645 Tennessee, engineering junior, chairman; Frederick D. Rice, Sigma Chi, college sophomore; Jane Snyder, Corbin hall, engineering freshman; Winifred Meyer, Kappa Kappa Gamma, college sophomore, and Donald Hortor, Pearson hall, college senior.
"Based on the recognition by students of their responsibility for supporting student projects which do not exist without outside help, it offers opportunity for student endorsement of several worthy causes. I am sure that every KU student will want to be identified with this progressive effort, each giving according to his own means."
Chancellor Murphy, in a statement to the Daily Kansan, said:
"The Campus Chest is the extension to the student community of the principle behind the Community and the United Fund campaign.
Murphy Endorses Campus Chest
Members of the committee were chosen on the basis of experience and the various slants each member could give the problem.
Tomorrow will be Campus Chest day at the University with collection booths set up in Marvin, Strong, and Fraser halls, the Student Union, and the information booth in front of the Journalism building. All students who have not been contacted in organized houses will be given a chance to contribute.
Swedish Scientist To Address Engineers
Prof. Waloddi Weibull, internationally known authority in engineering sciences, will be the guest speaker at the all engineering student convocation at 11 a.m. Nov. 25 in Fraser theater.
He will speak on "Statistic Theories of the Strength of Mastery"
A faculty member of the Roya Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Prof. Weibul is the scientific advisor to the A.V.Bofors company, Sweden's leading industrial manufacturer.
He has recently lectured at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown university, Westinghouse Research laboratories, Battelle Memorial Institute, and other industrial and educational centers.
Prior to his visit to the United States, Prof. Weibull lectured in Istanbul and Algiers, as well as other European cities. Prof. Weibull
was brought to this country by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brown university.
He is most widely recognized for his theories on the application of statistical probability to strength of engineering materials. His publications cover such fields as strength of materials, statistics, explosions, plastic flow of metals and many others.
Prof. Weibull was instrumental in the organization of the International Congresses of Applied Mechanics which are held each four years in a different country. His articles have appeared in leading engineering journals throughout the world.
Regents Approve Increase for KU
Topeka —(U.P.)—Nine states supported schools will ask the Kansas Legislature for operating budgets totalling $34,497,261, an increase of 31.6 per cent, for the next two years.
The State Board of Regents trimmed original requests of $38,168,399. Hubert A. Brighton, executive secretary of the regents, said today.
Presidents of the institutions will present their requests at hearings with Gov. Edward F. Arn and chairmen of the Senate and House Ways and Means committees. The Legislature will hear the requests after it convenes in January.
Mr. Brighton said the increases in operating requirements were results of smaller enrollments of armed forces veterans, of 5 per cent salary increases for faculty members and 7.5 per cent hikes for other employees, and inflation.
About 65 per cent of the cost of educating a veteran is paid by the federal government under the GI Bill of Rights, and now the state must take up that slack, Mr. Brighton explained.
The University of Kansas at Lawrence has asked for an appropriation of $12,583,937 for the years of 1954 and 1955, and the regents approved a request for $111,548,489, an increase of 33 per cent over the current biennial budget. It was the greatest single item in the new requests.
Kansas State college officials asked for $11,130,650, and the regents approved $10,573,960, an increase of 38.4 per cent.
The regents trimmed original requests of all institutions except the State School for the Deaf at Oathe and the School for the Blind at Kansas City.
Besides the operating appropriations, the nine schools will have their unexpended balances from the current two year period and also approximately $6 million available in building funds from the three-quarter mill ad valorem levy, Mr. Brighton said.
Five Defendants to Appear Before Student Court
Five defendants will appear before the Student Court at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 105 Green hall.
The defendants are Robert W. Atchison, graduate, and Florence Compton, college junior, overparking; Harold A. Smith, college freshman, Jerry M. Smith, college senior, and Eugene G. Petersen, college junior, parking in restricted zones.
All College Students Should See Advisers
All students in the College should see their faculty advisers today, Wednesday, or Thursday, for a mid-semester conference, Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean, said today.
The names of College students with their faculty advisers are listed on the bulletin board outside the College office in Strong hall. The hours and rooms are also listed.
