On Naval Contract
A three-year contract with the University's zoology department to explore the possibilities of obtaining a more efficient blood plasma by using marine organisms has been expanded by the Office of Naval Research.
A search for substitutes to replace blood plasma with a source containing more oxygen has caused medical science to become interested in the oxygen-rich blood of marine organisms.
Zoologists Study Marine Organisms
Dr. Charles A. Leone, assistant professor of zoology, began a research program along these lines in January 1950. The new contract expansion will enable the hiring of another research assistant. Denzil E. Ferguson, now a graduate student at the University of Oregon, will begin work this fall.
Young GOPs Hear Debate on Taft, Ike
49th Year, No.140
The protein in the blood of marine organisms is the only one present, Dr. Leone said, and is one of the best analytical tools in the study of immunology.
Students to Receive Honors At Convocation Wednesday
"The protein we are particularly interested in is hemocyanin, one having a copper base, which is similar to hemoglobin, which has an iron base.

Gasoline Supply termed 'Enough'
Local gasoline dealers say they have enough gasoline to last out the strike of the Oil Workers International union which began at midnight April 29.
They based their statements on a belief that the strike will be settled the first of next week.
"It floats in the blood system and is not contained in a cell like hemoglobin. It is particularly valuable because it is a good oxygen carrier," Dr. Leone explained.
Two Kansas Republicans—one supporting Taft for President, and the other supporting Eisenhower—debated before the Young Republicans club last night over the merits of the two candidates, but assured the crowd that both would support the winner of the July Republican convention.
One station, however, said it had gas for only two or three days. The dealer said a lot of persons are buying it who don't need it.
A spokesman for the Rapid Transit company which operates both the city buses and a filling station, said the company did not anticipate any trouble unless the strike is prolonged. The company will have to divide its supply between its buses and its public customers.
Most of the local bulk agents for oil companies that supply this area with gasoline and oil products report about a week's supply on hand. Similar reports have been received from dealers all over the state.
A city ordinance prohibits the storage of gasoline in excess of five gallons, except underground, by anyone other than an authorized dealer, and then only in prescribed pumps.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Fire Chief Paul Ingels warned against the practice of buying barrels in which to store gasoline. One dealer reported several persons doing this and Chief Ingels said this is not only dangerous, but also against the law.
"Results of the Massachusetts primary could make my talk for me tonight," Rep. Stoung led off by saying, "Both Republican and Democrat primary ballots showed Eisenhower to be a favorite of the people," he said. He pointed out that
"It is the only protein present in the blood system of a marine organism and its activity can easily be observed. Human blood, on the other hand, contains about 30 proteins," he pointed out.
Eisenhower, he said, will give the government "vision where it is blind, balance where it needs poise. If ever we needed a leader, we need him now," he said. The wishes of so many people shouldn't be frustrated because of the wishes of political leaders."
Mr. Stratton challenged this. "As 'ar as primary votes go," he said, "Taft has a majority so far." He predicted the two would arrive at the July Republican convention 'just about even' both in delegates and total popular vote.
Rep. Stough said he liked "ike" because of his highly developed administrative faculty, his ability to select the right person for a job, and his ability to bring together people of all races and creeds.
"Ike" was becoming the overwhelming choice of the people.
Speaking for Sen. Robert Taft was Cliff Stratton, Kansas newspaperman, and presenting the Eisenhower side was Charles D. Stough, state representative.
"This election will not be a question of electing someone you like, but one of electing someone with years of experience and hard work," he added.
"I think Taft has the best record." Mr. Stratton countered. "People say he couldn't win an election, but he's never had the chance to be beaten. Sure, he's been beaten by the politicians, but never by the people."
Pointing out that the present U.S. foreign policy is "the tail wagging the dog (domestic policy)." Mr. Stratton said that if Taft is nominated he will think of the United States first, and still not ignore other countries.

Probe May Involve Lovellette, Others
Clyde Lovellel and three other members of the 1952 U.S. Olympic basketball team reportedly are being investigated by the Amateur Athletic union for alleged violations of amateur rules.
The recent controversy over Lo-vellette's status was stirred up when he played in the East-West Shrine game in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, April 12.
Douglas F. Roby, AAU president said Thursday he had named a fiveman committee to inquire into published newspaper reports of violations.
Lovellette told members of the Dorsey-Liberty Post 14 of the American Legion last night "that the only difference between amateurs and collegiate is that teams like the Caterpillar Diesels have more seasoning."
Bob Kenney, star forward of the Olympic squad, agreed with Lovellette.
"The amateurs don't play as hard as collegians," he said.
The players were introduced by Milton P. Allen, former KU star and son of Coach F. C. Allen. The moderator of a panel discussion was Bill Mayer, sports editor of the Lawrence Journal-World.
