British Empire Involved In World Turmoil
By HARRY FERGUSON U.P. Foreign News Editor
The slogan, "the sun never sets on the British - empire," has been changed to "it never rains but it pours on the British empire." Fours trouble, that is.
Three things are happening to Britain these days, and a look at any one of them and it is easy to see why London is the world's most worried capital.
1. The nation is going through an election campaign. At a time when a united front is needed but there is nothing but division, charges and counter-charges that elections always produce.
2. Egypt has just told Britain to remove her troops from the Suez canal zone. That not only is a serious setback to London's position in the Middle East, but it is a blow to British pride.
3. Some 300 British technicians have just been forced to leave the Iranian town of Abadan. The British now are preparing to take their case before the United Nations security council.
Egypt dealt the latest blow to Britain by denunciation of a treaty signed by the two nations in 1936. Under that agreement the British were allowed to station troops along the Suez canal. It was a good deal for the Egyptians because Hitler and Mussolini were mulling over the idea of aggression which led to World War II.
What Britain, and all other colonial powers are up against is a surge of nationalism throughout the Middle and Far East. Nations in that part of the world want the foreigners to get out no matter what the consequences. Iran may not be able to refine oil for lack of technical experts but she would rather have it that way than allow the British to remain. Egypt may not be able to protect the Suez canal but she would rather lose it than let the British guard it.
Columbus, Ohio—(J.P.)—This man's army isn't what it used to be—at least, not at the Fort Hayes Army post.
Veterans Take Note
Cpl. Robert E. Price thought he was having a "civilian" dream one morning when he awoke to the sound of gentle words and the pleasant odor of bacon, eggs and coffee.
The words came from his first sergeant. The tray loaded with a delicious breakfast was held by a sergeant first class.
Price didn't ask any questions. He ate.
During the meal the sergeants smiled and were very pleasant. They didn't shout once. When he was finished, they told him to take the day off and then they sang happy birthday to him.
Nine Men Selected For Debate Squad
Nine students have been selected for membership on the University of Kansas Debate squad.
They are Jean Paul Richter, College junior; William Robert Arnold, Le Baird, Hubert Bell, Jerome Jacobson, Frederick Rice, College freshman; George Stooppelwerth, Robert S. Kennedy, engineering freshmen; and Harlan Parkinson, business freshman.
The above named freshmen and all other members of the debate squad are expected to be present at the meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 105 Green hall.
The meeting will include an hour's discussion on the debate question, led by Dr. Leland Pritchard, finance professor, and an organizational meeting for both varsity and freshmen squad members. Schedules will be set up for practices and for the semester's tournament.
That Blue Parking Ticket Could Mean No Sheepskin
To any violators of University parking laws who happen to run on to a blue tag affixed to the windshield, don't throw it away.
And he's ready to back up the statement with some pretty firm facts. Students with unpaid fines will not be permitted to re-enroll, graduate, or transfer.
That's the advice of H. L. Swartz, in charge of parking permits and fines.
So you see, that blue ticket could keep you here for years to come.
Mr. Swartz explained that students are entitled to one warning ticket without fine. After that they're harder to shake than a revenue collector.
The second ticket dumps one dollar into the K.U. till. Each succeeding fine is two bucks a throw.
You have the right to appeal any ticket to the student court. But it must be done within 10 days after the ticket has been issued.
This is quite a popular practice with those who were "wrongly tabbed." For the most part the reason for appealing centers around, "I was late. The zone was filled. I couldn't leave 'Betsy' in the middle of the street."
This brings up another angle. University police have the right to remove "Betsy" or any other vehicle from the street if it is standing in violation of an ordinance. After removal, the vehicle is stored. Costs of such storage will be paid by the owner in addition to other penalties which may be assessed under the ordinance.

She's Loaded With Luck
East Point, Ga. (U.P.)-A suburban Atlanta family says it won't be surprised at any good luck that happens now. A daughter, Linda, 12, found 46 four-leaf clovers while playing in a yard. For extra measure she came up with five clovers that had six leaves.
London—(U.P.)—A laborer found a slab of metal in a field three years ago and ever since has used it for topping beets and other farm work. Now J. C. Tarrott, a collector, has identified it as a middle-bronze age stone, 3,000 years old.
