Gibson Outlines Labor Situation
Modern changes in technology have presented the nation with the problem of many women taking jobs instead of staying in the home to raise their children. Hilden Gibson, chairman of the human relations department, said Sunday.
Speaking on the Sociology on the Air program over station KLWN, on the topic "Two Boys," he said the problem resulting from the technological change will take money time, and thought to solve.
"So far, there has been little public provision to cope with the problem." he said.
he described two small boys from Lawrence, whom he gave fictitious names, whose homes were unstable because their mothers worked all day and gave the children little time and for affection.
One of the boys once told his teacher he hoped to be sent to the industrial school where his brother was because his home was unpleasant to him Mr. Gibson said.
These case histories are not intended to prove that all children from homes in which the mother will be problem children, he said.
"The reason for this is more compelling than emancipation of women or freedom from household tasks. It lies in our economic system." Mr. Gibson explained.
During the second World war one-third of the nation's labor force was women, he said.
In order to maintain the American standard of living it has become necessary for more than one member of a family to be a wage-earner, he said.

College Republicans Break Precedent By Supporting Ike
Kansas Collegiate Republicans broke a precedent Sunday in Topeka by voting to support Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Republican nomination for president after a lengthy debate.
It was the first time the organization endorsed a candidate before the national Republican convention has been held.
William Buechel, one of the 18 KU Young Republican delegates to the convention, said although the state group took this stand, the KU club is forbidden by its constitution to support or oppose any nominee until he is accepted by the Republican party for the candidacy.
Glenn Opie, first year law student,
were elected state treasurer for the group.
Opie is also treasurer of
the KU group.
Keith Lesher of the Municipal university of Wichita was elected new state chairman. He replaces Buechel, last year's chairman.
Wilson: "I favor making a campus survey by assembling representatives from every student group on the campus and asking them for opinions on campus problems. This would be done before the ASC meets in the fall. It would enable ASC to outline an effective agenda, and try to correct student problems."
Candidates-election officials have put their foot down on write-in votes, which are now allowing for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who will not appear on the ballot.

National Politics
But the Republican contest was a four-way slugging between Harold E. Stassen, Robert A. Taft, Earl Warren and a "favorite soon" running as a stand-in for Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Milwaukee, Wis.—(U.P.)—Sen. Estes Kefaufer today was considered by his backers as a hands-down winner in tomorrow's Wisconsin primary after President Truman said he would not be a candidate for re-election. $ \textcircled{4} $
Kefauver Primary Favorite
Other developments in the presidential race are:
Republicans.
MacArthur: Ervin Hohensee, a leader of the MacArthur-for-President campaign, said Mr. Truman "declared himself out . . . because he now feels that Senator Taft will not be the Republican nominee, and will have P.O. cards and can win between Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas MacArthur."
Taft: Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio said he didn't see how President Truman's decision not to seek reelection "affects the Republican contest," and that the Democrats may "have to" nominate Mr. Truman anyway because "they are likely to find that any candidate who can be nominated at all is weaker than Truman himself."
Stevenson: Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois said party leaders were putting "considerable pressure" on him to run for president, but he did not reveal whether Mr. Truman has offered to back him for the presidency.
Truman: President Truman is looking forward to becoming an "alerder statesman." He has already made fairly definite pians for a post-White House career of lecturer and activist in public affairs it was learned today.
Eisenhower: Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower declined to comment on Mr. Truman's announcement, but sources close to the general said he may quicken his homecoming to consolidate his supporters.
Warren: Gov. Earl Warren of California said only that he "could understand" the president's desires not to seek reelection.
Stassen: Harold E. Stassen said Mr. Truman's action 'makes it more difficult to deflect the Democrat's GOP. "The GOP was depriced of its "No 1 target."
Russell: Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia said he believes "I have more delegates supporting me than any other contender (and) my 32 vice president devoted public service qualify me for the leadership of this nation."
Democrats:
Kefauver: Sen Estes Kefauver of Tennessee said Mr. Truman's withdrawal would not "make much difference" in the Nebraska primary, but that Sen. Robert S. Kerr, his opponent in that contest, "may be helped a little bit" by the President's action.
Kerr: The Oklahoman said that with Mr. Truman's announcement, he is a presidential candidate "with no qualification (and) I am sure Harry Truman will do nothing against me."

Defense Chief Wilson Resigns
Washington — (U.P.) The wage-price stabilization program was rocked to its foundations today by Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson's stormy departure from the government.
The former General Electric president, who held the second most powerful post in the administration, resigned in angry protest against President Truman's handling of the steel dispute.
Mr. Truman and the 65-year-old industrial parted company with a blazing exchange of letters which laid its house made public late Sunday.
Wilson charged that Mr. Trump reneged on an agreement made at Key West, Fla., last week to give the steel industry price relief if Philip Murray's 650,000 CIO United Steel-workers get a pay raise.
The President retorted that no final decision was made at Key West on the price issue. And he said Wilson was all wrong in his contention that the steel pay raises of 26 cents an hour recommended by the wage stabilization board were "unstabilizing."
