Metzler Talks On Civil Defense
The disastrous Kansas flood of 1951 provided many lessons for civilian defense planning. Dwight F. Metzler, assistant professor of civil engineering, told members of the American Public Health association meeting in San Francisco.
He told members of the engineering section that emergency aid plans for atomic disaster are inadequate, and that a number have been devoted to sanitation measures.
Health officials need more reliable communication and transportation facilities than are now available. The public must be kept informed of measures being taken so that panic may be avoided. Metzler said.
The disposal of 16,000 animal carcasses in Kansas City during the flood created a major disposal problem. In case of an atomic blast the dead would be humans, Metzler explained.

Graduate students and seniors with backgrounds in bacteriology, economics, geography, geophysics, social science and statistics are eligible to take the junior professional assistant examination to be given by the civil service commission Saturday, Dec. 8 in Lawrence.
Students wishing to take the exam must fill out an application form and send it to the civil service commission, Washington 25, D.C. by Tuesday, Nov. 13. Application forms are available at the University and Lawrence post offices, or may be obtained from James Drury, assistant professor of political science, at Strong annex "A".
FIVE RUSSIAN PRIESTS who fled Communist Russia are shown as they made a brief stopover in Rome, Italy, in their quest for freedom. From Rome they are going to Naples, where they will board a ship for Palestine.
Students who pass the exam, in most cases, are employed by the government civil service. Salaries in these jobs are equal to any in private business with the beginner receiving approximately $3,400 a year.
Graduates, Seniors To Take Civil Service Examination
The junior professional assistant examination is not to be confused with the junior management assistant exam, which will also be given Saturday, Dec. 8. It is possible for a student to take both examinations.
In addition to the fifty students to be chosen for the foreign affairs training program, 150 men and women will be selected to participate in the Junior Management Assistant program.
Students who take the JMA exam must be approved by a nominating board. Board members should be
contacted as soon as possible by students interested in the program.
Ethan Allen, professor of political science, is chairman of the KU board, assisted by Dean Leonard Axe of the School of Business and Ambrose Saricks, assistant professor of history. Selections must be turned into the commission headquarters by Saturday, Dec. 1.
Japan Plans To Use New Rain-Maker
Tokyo—(U.P.) —The Japanese, inventors of the balloon bomb, are planning to use balloons to make rain.
A team of 14 Tokyo university scholars will try to experiment in Northern Japan, using 3,500 balloons which will sow silver iodide and dry ice on rain-carrying clouds.
If successful, the experiment would have the merit of economy over the method of chasing rainclouds by airplane.
The rain balloons are being released whenever weather conditions are right. The hydrogen-filled balloons will each carry one drum of iodized silver acetone solution, a quantity of silver iodide and 200 pounds of dry ice. The mechanism for releasing the rain making chemicals was not explained.
The junior management assistant exam is for seniors and graduate students with backgrounds in administrative work. Fifty students from schools throughout the country will be selected for the foreign affairs program after they pass the civil service JMA exam.
