News Roundup
London—(U.P.)—Elizabeth II, who went away a princess one week ago, came back a queen today.
Britain's Greatest Men Meet Their New Queen
The airliner bringing Elizabeth and Prince Philip home from East Africa landed at London airport at 4:19 p.m. (10:19 a.m. CST), some 36 hours after King George VI died in his sleep at his country home, Sandringham.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill, head of the government, and the Duke of Gloucester, brother of the late King, led the handful of Britain's greatest men who stood bare-headed on the field to meet the woman who is now their queen.
At Sandringham Queen Mother Elizabeth and her younger daughter, Princess Margaret left the house in which King George had died and drove to the nearby Church of St. Mary Magdelen for a half-hour service for the King. Both were dressed in black.
It was expected that the King's body would be transferred from Sandringham house to the Church of St. Mary Magdelen on the estate grounds after dusk today. It will be placed before the altar.
Sometime this week-end, the 1st battalion of Grenadier guards will escort the King's body to London, where it will lie in state in the Great Hall of Westminster, adjoining the Houses of Parliament, until the funeral.
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. Robert A. Teft today threw his support behind a senate bloc determined to limit President Truman's power to send ground troops to North Atlantic treaty nations.
Taft Supports Bloc
The Ohio Republican backed Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah), who proposed requiring the consent of Congress before America's armed forces could be sent to the territory of any NATO power "in a manner that would necessarily involve the United States in war."
Stassen Into Races
Washington — (U.P.) — Harold E. Stassen announced today he will enter the New Jersey and West Virginia primaries in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
In both states he expects to be competing mostly against forces favoring the candidacy of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, against whom Stassen already has entered several other state primaries.
Adenauer Warns
Bonn, Germany—(U.P.)—West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer warned today that 30 Soviet divisions are poised permanently in East Germany "ready to march."
The West's only salvation, he told the Bundestag (lower house of parliament), is to build its defenses so fast that Russia will realize aggression is too risky.
Pamunjom, Korea—(U.P.) B o t h United Nations and Communist negotiators made concessions today that brought agreement closer on prisoner exchange and troop rotation.
Communist deputies interrupted repeatedly as the 76-year-old chancellor opened a two-day foreign affairs debate. Outside, strong police forces armed with fire hoses blocked off the building from 2,000 Red demonstrators.
Agreement Closer
The UN command held off a second meeting of full truce delegations on the final agenda item while awaiting instructions from Washington on a peace conference proposed by the Communists Wednesday that would drag in all the political problems of the Far East.
Washington—(U,P)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has informed his managers that he will do his Republican pre-convention campaigning—if any—in uniform and from Paris.
Ike Not Returning
Topeka—(U.P.)—Kansas county health officers reported 2,676 cases of influenza last week and state health officials said there were many more unreported cases.
The general's decision against returning to the United States before the July Republican national convention jolted some of his backers. They had been confident that Ike would make one or more pre-convention personal appearances. His friends are eager to get the Eisenhower smile and oratory on the road.
"This undoubtedly is not all of the cases in the state," Irvin G. Franzen, health statistician, said. He pointed out that only three cases were reported from Shawnee county when many more were believed to exist.
The report was made at the direction of Dr. James M. Mott, state epidemiologist, after several schools closed to study the greatest number of cases of the disease.
Art Museum To Display New Drawings Today
A group of drawings by Edward Milcarth of the University of Louisville will go on display in the Museum of Art today.
Many Flu Cases
Prof. John Maxon, director of the museum, said Mr. Milcarth is considered one of the leading young American artists.
The drawings are in the style of the sixteenth century. They were lent to the University by Durlard Brothers of New York. The display will hang through February.
Radio Players Enjoy Their Work Of Producing Dramatic Radio Shows
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but the Radio Players like their work.
By BOB NOLD
Players like their work.
The group puts in long hours but has a lot of fun practicing for its two dramatic productions, "The Flying Carpet" and "Prairie Footprints."
Studio A in KFKU is reserved by the players on Monday and Tuesday afternoons for rehearsals, and on Wednesday and Thursday nights for rehearsals and tape recordings of the productions. The tape recordings are then presented on KFKU at the designated times.
The rehearsals are conducted informally. They are concerned with getting acquainted with the script, learning to pick up cues and becoming familiar with the characters portrayed.
The productions are written and produced by Mrs. Ruby LeNeva Motta, script writer-producer for KFKU!
"Flying Carpet?" dramatizes literature for children in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. "Prairie Footprints," a presentation of Kansas history, is also adapted for children in these grades. Mrs. Moen, Kansai teachers responded enthusiastically to the idea of a history series.
This is the first semester KFKU has presented two dramatic productions a week.
The Radio Players meetings are called whenever needed. They are concerned with discussion of the conduct of players, meeting schedules and planning for social events such as a Christmas party, initiation of new members, picnics and visiting professional studios.
Officers are Wilson O'Connell, graduate student, president; Shirley Tinsley, college sophomore, vicepresident; Jo Anna March, college sophomore, secretary, and Bob
Zurbuchen, business senior, treasurer.
Other members are Max Zimmerman, Dorothy O'Connell, Jerry Knudson, Mark Gilman, Marilyn Button and Dick Sheldon, all college sophomores; and Russell Wigglewsworth and Ernest Dade, both
