Athletes Break 4 Records, Tie 1 At 27th Annual Kansas Relays
Rain slowed the track but not the athletes at the 27th annual Kansas Relays April 18 and 19. Four records were broken—one twice within four hours—and one tied before a crowd of 9,000.
Miss Lucille Liebert, Coffeyville,
a freshman at Pittsburg State
Teachers college, was crowned
Queen of the event. Her attendants
were Miss Janice Condron, Topeka,
a senior at Washburn university,
and Miss Mary Ann Smith, Kansas
City, Kan., a student at the Kansas
City, Kansas Junior college.
As the University was closed for Easter vacation during the relays no KU women entered the contest this year.
Kansas runners finished the four-mile relay in 17:18.3 to knock 16 seconds off the old record of 17:34.3 set by Kansas in 1950.
In the mile relay Oklahoma's 3:14.8 broke the old record of 3:15.0 set by Rice in 1950. Texas tied the
Fresh Rains Gut Flood Area
St. Joseph, Mo.-(U.P.)—The surging Missouri river gathered in fresh streams today in a flood that already spread from bluff to bluff in many places. New areas were threatened with inundation.
The U. S. Corps of Engineers expressed concern for agricultural levees below St. Joseph as the flood level rose above predicted crests.
The dramatic fight was at Sherman Air Force base on the Ft. Leavenworth reservation, where some 1,600 airmen and soldiers labored to protect the multi-million dollar installation. The river stood today nine feet above the level of the air base.
Weather bureau experts at Kansas City said more rain was in the forecast.
The level of the river at Leavenworth was 261, one-tenth of a foot above the predicted crest. It continued to rise.
Dikes in the Atchison and Ft. Leavenworth area had been built up. Many were holding, but others were in real danger. The city of Leavenworth, which lies below the fort, watched the flood from high bluffs, safe and dry, but a boat works apparently was doomed on the riverfront.
half mde college relay time of 1:25.2
set by Iowa in 1935.
Records of two special Olympic year events were broken. In the 400-meter hurdles Lee Yoder, Arkansas, broke a four-hour old record with .52.5.
A record of 47' 2" was set in the hop, step, jump by Jim Gerhardt,
beyond.
The old record of :52.6 had been set that morning in the preliminaries by Bob Devinney, Kansas. He broken the :53.0 record set by Dave Bolen, Colorado, in 1948.
300 Meet Here During Vacation
Nearly 300 of the nation's leading businessmen and educators took advantage of empty buildings and classrooms during the spring vacation to hold meetings and conferences of several descriptions.
A photography contest also was held with prizes awarded by Encyclopaedia Britannica incorporated. The winner of the picture portfolio division was J.

Rent Control Effect On KU Uncertain
University officials were uncertain today as to how the federal rent control law which affects the Lawrence-Olathe defense area would apply to student housing in Lawrence and on the campus.
Douglas county and parts of Johnson and Wyandotte counties were placed under federal government rent control because of the infux of personnel for defense installations at the Sunflower Ordnance works and the Olathe Naval Air station.
Elmer Dunn, representative of the regional office of rent stabilization in Chicago, felt that the University dormitory system probably would not be affected. He said it could be exempted under the provision allowing exemption for housing operated by educational or charitable institutions used in carrying out their educational or charitable purposes.
However Mr. Dunn thought that fraternity and sorority houses may be affected under the law. If they are affected, the houses must be registered within 45 days following April 14.
University officials felt that fraternities would not be affected since they were not subject to rent controls during World War II when controls were on.
Deans Attending Library Opening
Dean John H. Nelson of the Graduate school and Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism will attend the dedication ceremonies of the new William Allen White library at Kansas State Teachers college, Emporia, today and Tuesday.
Dean Nelson, the official representative for the University of Kansas, will take part in a panel discussion Tuesday on the role of state-supported schools in higher education.
Truman Opposes Restricting Funds for Steel Operation
Washington—(U.P.)—President Truman warned Congress today against restricting the use of federal funds for operation of the steel mills lest it paralyzes government operations in an emergency.
Mr. Truman wrote Vice President Alben W. Barkley, expressing fear that negative legislation might lead to a steel shutdown which, in turn would "reduce" the ability of our troops in Korea to defend themselves against attack."
The money is so well earmarked that probably none would be used for operation of the steel mills. But approval would amount to a vote of censure against the president's action in seizing the steel industry.
Sen. Homer Ferguson (R.-Mich), author of the measure, predicted Senate approval.
Mr. Truman directed his criticism against an amendment before the Senate to deny the use of appropriated funds for the operation of steel mills seized by the government April 8.
But Mr. Truman said he thought that if Congress wanted to act on the steel care, it should indicate a positive course of action rather than telling him what not to do.
The amendment is Republican-
sponsored. It is an amendment to a $300,000,000-plus supplemental
appropriations bill to run some 20 fed-
Private rooming facilities for unorganized students will be affected, but the registering of the houses will be done by the landlord.
Mr. Dunn is in Lawrence to organize the local rent office at West 8th street and to meet with local officials, the military, judiciary, landlord and tenant groups and other organizations interested in the provisions of the law.
The highest rent that may now be charged for any dwelling place is the rent that was in effect Aug. 1, 1951. If a landlord has increased the rent since that date, he is required to reduce the rent to the August price.
The only exception to the legal ceiling comes where a landlord made a major capital improvement on a unit or increased services or furnishings between the rollback date, Aug. 1, 1951, and the effective date for rent control, April 14, 1952.
