Married Pre-Med Has 42-Hour Week-of Sleep
Tupelo, Miss.—(U.P.)—We're doing it because we want to live rather than exist, these two say. $ \textcircled{1} $
That is the answer given by one of Tupelo's busiest young couples when their fantastically long and complicated work schedule is reviewed.
To begin with, Ralph Knight is taking 17 semester hours of premedical work at Itawamba Junior college, has five afternoon labs a week, is taking night classes in addition, plays in two orchestras, baby sits, and cleans house on Saturdays.
Meanwhile, his wife, Dot, is secretary to Fuff Motors, keeps house, raises a six-year-old son, takes typing and accounting in night school, and is studying medicine on her own.
"After all," she said, "if my husband is going to be a doctor, I should know as much about it as possible. If I'm going to support the family more or less during the next few years while he goes to medical school, I want to be prepared as much as possible."
It was a long struggle for the Knights, because they had so far to go. "We've still got a long way ahead of us," he added, "but we're going, all the same."
Neither had yet finished high school when Ralph went into the Army during World War II.
"After I got out of the Army, I decided I wanted to be a doctor." Ralph said. "We both set about finding a way.
As far as the Knights are concerned, the way was hard work. Dot went to work and Ralph entered Itawamba High school to finish up two years ago. He hopes to be graduated from Itawamba Junior college in June with scholastic honors, counting the night courses he is taking. Then he hopes to enter medical school.
The couple is making its own way through Ralph's schooling for the present, saving his GI benefits until he enters medical school. A lot of his extra cash comes from playing in two dance orchestras every Saturday night.
Ralph says he figures his schedule leaves him 42 hours a week to sleep. He goes to bed at 1 a.m. and is up at 5 a.m.
"I'm getting fat on it though," he said. "No, we don't have any time for much else. We don't even have

time to read magazines, except medical journals.
"It itens sometimes that we never even get around to speaking to each other." Dot said. "He always has his nose buried in a book, even when he's shaving. He's going to a doctor someday, though."

Brazilian Communist Party Shows Signs of Titoism
Rid de Janeiro—(U.P.)—Dissident Brazilian Communists, rebellious toward constant servility to Russia, have started a national Communist movement similar to the Titoist attitude in Jugoslavia.
The new movement was launched on the 30th anniversary of the regular Brazilian Communist party by the rebel Jose Maria Crispim, who denounced the Russian line and announced the formation of a national Communist party to be called the Brazilian Revolutionary party.
What success the movement will have is a matter of conjecture but it has been apparent for the last year there was a rift in the old line Communist party which was outlawed in 1947.
Crispim, about 40 years old, was a militant leader of the regular Communist party and one of its top men for many years.
there have been several purges, in one of which Crispim was expelled from the party.
He was an army sergeant and took part in the Communist uprising in 1935, after which he went into hiding. He did not show up again until in the 1945 elections, when the Brazilian Communist party elected him to the federal legislature from Sao Paulo.
In the same election, his then leader, Luis Carlos Prestes, head of the Communist party in Brazil and against whom Crispim now has declared war, won a seat in the national senate.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy attended two meetings of University alumni last week.
Murphy Meets Alumni Groups In Barrlesville, St. Louis
Chancellor and Mrs. Murphy were honor guests at a meeting April 14 in Bartlesville, Okla. Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture and Mrs. Carr accompanied them.
On April 16 Cancellor Murphy met with alumni in St. Louis, Mo.
Both lost their seats when the party was outlawed and both went into hiding when their arrests were ordered to answer to charges of subversive activities.
Secret service men believe that Crispim is in a tight spot, caught between two fires, after launching his proclamation of a new party and open denunciation of the Cominform group.
They have no doubt that he has been, or will be, ordered liquidated by his former Communist associates. He cannot seek police refuge because there are two orders for his preventive arrest, one in Rio de Janeiro and one in Sao Paulo.
