Campanile Door Design Complete
Designs for the 12 door panels for the World War II Memorial campanile have been completed and seven of them cast in bronze. Fred Elsworth, alumni secretary, said today.
The alumni office has received pictures of the plaster casts of the war tragedy panels for the south doors. These represent aspiration, silence, courage, meditation, achievement and sorrow—the emotions and characteristics of a people going through war.
Bernard "Poco" Frazier, former KU track star who is an independent sculptor in Tulsa, Okla., is the artist. Mr. Frazier's six temporary casts for the north doors of the campanile have been in place here since the 1951 dedication. They depict the history and growth of Kansas.
Mr. Ellsworth could not predict when the finished bronze panels could be installed.
The war tragedy panels are believed to be unique in that few artists have undertaken the difficult task of representing the abstract sentiments and emotions of people in wartime.
Each of the two north doors and two south doors will have three panels. The doors are of massive oak construction, each 3 feet 2 inches wide and 9 feet 2 inches high.
Presbyterians Hold Party
The Presbyterian "get-acquainted-party," a traditional party, will take place as scheduled tonight, it is announced by Frances Hanna, social chairman for the Westminister fellowship.
Those attending the rally are urged to come to the party at West-minister house, 1221 Oread, following the parade and rally. The party has been announced for 8 to 11:30 p.m.
The party of the progressive nation where groups move from one activity to the other is so organized that those who come after the rally will be able to participate in much of the program of fun.
The party will close with a snack at the fireplace in the back yard and program of singing and entertainment by Dick Scott, the group's wandering minstrel.
A committee of 30 students has arranged and will direct the party under the leadership of Miss Hanna. Kay Conrad, moderator, and John Barber, vice moderator of the organization, will greet the students at the door of the house.
Dr. John H. Patton, Presbyterian University pastor and at present filling the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church, and his wife, will chat with the students in the first stop of the "progression" of the party, over a cup of spiced tea. Ed House will lead the first group through the chain of games and Bill Behrman will take each person's picture in a "traditional" manner.

London—(U.P.)—The British Medical Journal said today statistics for the last 40 years refute the popular belief that more babies are born at night than in the daftime.

London—(U.P.)The Psychic News, a British publication on spiritualism, complained today that world conditions are making it very hard for spiritualists to contact the departed.
"It is impossible to expect mediums to be at their best in the present conditions of the world . . . the hate and suspicion that are present everywhere," the publication said.

Honolulu—(U.R.)—John Perreira decided today that politics and the liquor business just don't mix, so he turned down a bid to run for the territorial legislature.
Perreira, who owns a liquor store, said: "If I were a candidate lots of people would be coming around to sponge drinks. If I gave them liquor, I'd lose money. If I refused them, I'd lose their votes. No matter how you look at it I couldn't win for losing."
Newest tie patterns, for fall, are spaced geometrics and interesting, smaller versions of modern and traditional motifs.

Commies Retake Frontline Hill
An Allied officer reported that on the western front the Communists wounded or captured most of the UN soldiers on Kelly Hill. Only a handful survived the four hour attack.
It was the first daylight raid by the B-29's in 11 months.
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)-United Nations warplanes raked a western front hill with a deadly rain of napalm and bombs today in an attempt to dislodge fanatical Chinese Communists who virtually annihilated UN defenders in a savage battle to capture it.
In the air, the Allies sent out a fleet of 33 Japan and Okinawa-based Superfortresses to drop 287 tons of incendiary bombs on targets near Hamhung, an important northeast Korean port.
The grim fight for "Kelly Hill" took place on the western front, west of the Imjin river. At the same time, other Allied soldiers north and east fought to regain "Old Baldy," also lost during the night to waves of screaming Reds.

Nixon Blames 'Hiss Crowd' For 'Smear'in $17,000 Gift
Sen. Richard M. Nixon, of California, said today the Alger Hiss "smear" crowd was responsible for saying he was "morally wrong" in using $17,000 from an outside political fund.
And in Washington, the Bureau of Internal Revenue declined as a matter of policy to give an opinion on the Nixon case.
The Republican vice presidential nominee admitted yesterday he had used $17,000 put up by an outside group to pay some of his expenses instead of charging them off to the taxpayers. A bureau spokesman said such contributions generally would not be taxable if they were "out and out" riffs.
Nixon said the attack on his moral character would not "slow up my attack against Communism and corruption."
"This is another typical attempted smear by the same left wing elements which have fought me ever since I took part in the investigation which led to the conviction of Alger Hiss," Nixon said.
Nixon's blast at the "left wing elements" was his reply to a demand by Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell that he withdraw from the Republican ticket because he had accepted outside money from a group of Californians.
Expenses incurred by senators vary according to the size of their states. Senators from the larger states get bigger clerical staffs to help with their heavier mail load. California is one of those states.
