Kitterman, regional Scout executive for the midwest, Kansas City, Mo.; and George A. Bullock, manager of the Philmont Scout Ranch, Cimarron, N.M., one of two national Explorer Scouts training camps.
Samson Named to Physiology Staff
Dr. Murphy, who is 1952 chairman of the Boy Scout Coordinated Finance Effort, called the meeting to review the campaign progress. The goal is to raise $374,100 for Kansas scouting activities in 1953.
Scout leaders will meet with Dr. Murphy in his office at 11 a.m., attend a luncheon and the KU-Texas Christian football game in the afternoon.
Dr. Samson comes to KU from the University of Chicago where he has been research fellow and instructor in physiology. He earned the Ph.D. degree there this year.
His research interests are the disturbances in metabolism that exist in diabetes. He expects to continue the work here.
A native of Boston, Mass., Dr. Samson is a 4-year veteran of the Army medical corps. Most of the service was overseas in the Southwest Pacific theater. He is married and has two children.
Dr. Samson will fill a vacancy in the physiology department created by the retirement of Dr. O. O. Stoland, who taught at KU 36 years.

Lawrence Couple Donate Art Funds
Mr. and Mrs. Simon Hurwitz of Lawrence have given the University funds to purchase a Flemish carriage in applewood called "Asia."
"Asia" was recovered by the British government and it passed into the hands of an English dealer, from whom the University bought it.
The carving, which is considered outstanding art work, was made about 1600 and is one of four figures representing the four continents then known to the Europeans-Europe, Asia, America and Africa.
The other three figures were destroyed by the Nazis during World War II. The four figures were the property of a private German collector and the Nazis tried to destroy the set, but the collector manageo to hide the figure representing Asia.
The carving, which is highly polished, is about three feet high and is on display on the main floor of the Art museum. It shows an Asiatic woman as she runs along a road.
