Mass Missile Production Told
Seattle, Wash.—(U.P.)—President Truman has announced that guided missiles are now in assembly-line production.
The President made the statement Thursday night at Eagles' auditorium here in one of the major speeches of his whistle-stop tour in behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Adalai Stevenson.
"Guided missiles are now in assembly-line production," he said, "and despite many technical difficulties will soon be in the hands of tactical units."
The President approached the guided missiles statement by stating America was much stronger now than it was before the Korean war.
"We have pushed our rate of production of military "hard goods" aircraft, tanks, guns, ships and so on-to seven times the rate at the time of Korea. Our scientists and engineers have brought us tremendous progress in the development of better weapons."
The President cited the increase in power of the jet engine and said it in itself was a military revolution. He mentioned the tremendous advances in the use of atomic energy for power and then made his statement concerning the guided missiles.

New candidates and the Players will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the radio studio.
A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution for the Radio Players and to work out a permanent point system. Members of the committee are Wilson O'Connell, assistant instructor of speech; Carolyn Oliver, college senior, and Jerry Knudson, journalism junior.

Can a murdered man's spirit return from the dead to plague the site of his death? Who is the mysterious Charles B. Rosma? What wandering spirit is behind the ghostly tappings on the wall?
Bv KEN COY
No, this isn't part of the dialogue from a soap opera or a horror pro-
ducer. The subject of a book written about 1847 and now on display in Snow hall.
Unfortunately the answers to these interesting questions can't be found, at least not in this particular book. This book has been mostly eaten away by termites.
Only small portions of the binding and parts of the body of the book are recognizable. H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology said, "this is one book people can certainly see through."
The book is bound open to a hard back by small wires and on display in a glass case. Raymond Beamer,
professor of entomology said the book has been in the entomology department for years and has been on display to the students for several years.
The book is open to a chapter bearing the title "Spiritual Knockings and Table Tappings." This chapter deals with an "average" family living in Rochester, N.Y., in 1847. However, they do have a ghost which remains in their house performing various tricks of tapping and answering questions.
The ghost gave the name of Charles B. Rosma, which was completely unknown to the family.
