The original board was a gift of the class of 1915; the class agreed to allow the University to replace it. The new board is equipped with lights and a bronze plaque with the numerals of the class of 1915 has been set in the cement walk in front of it. The board will be used for notices of the School of Fine Arts and the drama department.
Five Drown In Flood Near Hays
Hays (U.P.)—Big Creek flash flooded west of here today, sweeping at least five persons to death and leaving an estimated 2,000 persons homeless, Capt. Delmas L. Haney of the Kansas National Guard reported.
Three persons were missing from a car found flooded on U.S. highway 40 four miles west of this city of 8,500 population.
Reports from the flooded region were meager and communications were held to emergency messages.
A sudden downpour of four to six inches in the already thoroughly soaked region was blamed for Big Creek's wall of water.
Rains deluged already-sodden Western Kansas during the last 24 hours, beating down crops, sending creeks over their banks and causing swift rises of the rivers.

Picture Fund Has More Than $100
More than $100 has been contributed to the Malott Portrait fund, Allyn C. Browne, chairman of the fund, said this morning.
Organized houses that have contributed are Beta Theta Pi,Gamma Phi Beta, Battenfeld and Jollife halls, and Phi Chi.
"The committee is pleased with the response thus far. We do want to emphasize, however, since no solicitations are being made, and with the coming of final week, that it is urgent that those wishing to contribute do so at their earliest convenience." Browne said.
Barr Describes Red Cross
As long as there is a need in the world, there will be a Red Cross, Dean Harold G. Barr of the school of religion said at the annual business meeting Monday of the Douglas county Red Cross chapter.
Richard Beahm, fine arts special student, sang four songs accompanied at the piano by Jacquelyn Stoops, fine arts senior.
"There will always be a need for a Red Cross, because there will always be disaster," the Rev. Mr Barr said. He then explained the work of the Red Cross through its symbol. The Red Cross has four arms. The one pointing to the sky represents need, the fundamental reason for the Red Cross. The second arm is the one on which the Red Cross rests. This points to humanity. The Rev. Mr. Barr pointed out that "there is no segregation in the Red Cross."
The other two arms, which point in opposite directions, represent service given to those near and far. The Rev. M. Barr said that "as long as there is an organization like the Red Cross, not of compulsion, one in which persons are willing to give long hours of their time and their money, whether it is for people they know or those far away, we can have hope that someday there will be good in the world."

Reds Open Gap In Eastern Front
Tokyo (U.P.)—The Chinese Communist retreat turned into a rout in Western Korea today. But in the East the Reds attacked with renewed fury 25 miles south of the 38th parallel.
A dispatch from the Western front said the Reds were abandoning ammunition and supplies north of Seoul in their haste to escape pursuing Allied tanks and infantry.
BULLETIN
Washington (U.P.) - The House postoffice committee today voted a 60 per cent increase over a three-year period in rates on second-class mail such as newspapers and magazines.
Tehran, Iran (U.P.)—Iran accused the United States Monday night of interfering in this country's internal affairs by supporting Britain in the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute.
The measure still must be approved by House and Senate, and then signed by the president before it becomes law.
Foreign Minister Bagher Kazemi summoned U. S. Ambassador Henry Grady to the foreign office and handed him a statement criticizing the United States view that the disagreement be settled by negotiations between Britain and Iran.
Iran recently nationalized its oil industry and cancelled a long-term British concession. The British government protested the action and demanded the question be settled bilaterally.
The proposed increase, which a committee member said was approved by a 17-6 vote came as a substitute for President Truman's proposal to double the rates on second class mail in three ears.
Iran Accuses US Of Intervention
The Iranian statement handed Grady said the United States had "created a very undesirable and unexpected impression" in Iranian circles.
This Time It's Raincoats
In New RFC Investigation
Washington (U.P.)—A new R.F.C. investigation, involving rain coats instead of royal pastel mink, was touched off today by the firing of an R.F.C. official charged with cashing in on "inside" government information.
The rain coats—along with a $400 television set and an undisclosed amount of luggage—were alleged to have been given to an unidentified agriculture department employee who handed out the "inside" tip to the R.F.C. official.
The allied pursuit smashed to the Imjim river, 26 miles northwest of Seoul and only five miles south of the 38th parallel.
Censorship concealed virtually all hard facts about the fighting in eastern Korea, but one dispatch said Communist troops attacking there ripped a wide gap in South Korean lines between Pungam and the east coast.
This report said the Reds cut the lateral Kangnung-Wonju highway in the rugged mountain area east of Pungam. Allied commanders threw reinforcements into the battle area in an effort to seal off the Red breakthrough.
Front dispatches said the Reds were either in headlamp flight or out of contact along a 70-mile front from Munsan east to the U.S. 2nd division area southeast of Chunchon.
Tokyo—(U.P) Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's intelligence chief during both World War II and the Korean war, sailed for the United States today aboard the naval vessel Breckenridge.

The two-star general announced three weeks ago that he had applied for retirement from the army and expected to join MacArthur "to offer what modest services I can render." He has been subpoenaed by the senate committee investigating MacArthur's dismissal and will testify in Washington.
