Bombs May KillTornadoes
Awater, Okla. (U.P.)—Dr. H. Jones, Oklahoma A. & M. college scientist, says it may be possible to "bomb" tornado formations out of existence before the twisters have a chance to hit the ground.
Jones and his assistants are devising radar and other electronic gadgets to enable weathermen to determine in advance when conditions are ripe for tornadoes.
He said large airplanes, possibly of the B-36 type, will be needed to fly into storm areas where tornadoes are brewing to release aerial bombs.
The Oklahoma City weather buireau and the air force weather station at Tinker Air Force base, near Oklahoma City, are co-operating in the projects.
Two new groups are being organized this week by the KU. Westminster fellowship, Delber Robb, moderator of the Presbyterian student organization announced. Both groups will be affiliated with the national church organization.
"There isn't any doubt about it," Jones said. "We can spot a tornado cloud, probably as far as 200 miles away, long before it becomes dangerous."
Westminster Girls Elect New Officers
Mary Louise Woodward was elected chairman of the K.U.W.F. Girls' guild at a supper meeting Wednesday night at Westminster house. Shirley Preston was elected vice chairman and program leader; Jean Ann Scupin, missionary education leader; Connie Eikelberger, spiritual life leader and Shirley Theton, secretary. Mrs. Bruce Cameron was the speaker.
Presbyterian men students will meet for supper tonight to organize the K.U.W.F. chapter of Presbyterian Men. Rev. Rice Lardner, graduate of the K.U. Law School and former Wichita county attorney will be the speaker. Chuck Tice is the organizing chairman.

FACTS Is Still Battling Raise In Student Fees
F. A.C.T.S., campus political party, hasn't given up its battle against the recent raise in student fees.
James Logan, All Student Council president, announced at the meeting Wednesday that Mr. Brighton had reported the issue settled by the state legislature. The Council unanimously opposed the raises, but voted no further action.
The party voted Wednesday night to authorize Donald Dirks, president, to write an appeal to Hubert Brighton, secretary of the board of regents.
It had been announced by the regents on April 23 that the incidental fee would be raised $10 for Kansas students and $30 for out-of-state students.
The party decided to investigate the matter next semester.
Workmen Begin Connecting Bells To Keyboard
Installation of the 53-bell carillon in the World War II memorial campanile has been completed and workmen began connecting the bells to the clavier (keyboard) today.
Each of the bells is inscribed in honor of some individual or group. The largest bell weighs nearly 7 tons and is 7 feet 2 inches in diameter. It was necessary to turn this bell on its side to get it into the campanile.
The campanile will be dedicated at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, May 27. Justice Hugo T. Wedell, president of the Memorial association, will present the World War II memorial to the University. Chancellor Deane W. Malotl will accept the gift on behalf of the University.
The carillon ranges chromatically through four octaves. The large bell has the tone of F sharp. Only five carillons on the North American continent have a greater tone range.
A rifle salute will be fired by a squad of 12 men representing the Army, Navy, and Air Force R.O.T.C. units.
Anton Brees, carillonneur of Mountain Lake Singing Tower at Lake Wales, Fla., will play a carillon recital following the dedication ceremony. Mr. Brees is expected to arrive in Lawrence Tuesday, May 22.
The recital program will include the well known hymns, "Lead Kindly Light," "Faith of Our Fathers," and "Onward, Christian Soldiers;" a Bach chorale, "Our Father;" "America, the Beautiful." "Battle Hymn of the Republic;" "Panis Angelicus," and "The Star Snangled Banner."
A buffet luncheon will be held at 1:15 p.m. Sunday, May 27, in the Union ballroom for the parents and immediate relatives of 276 University alumni who lost their lives in World War II. Chancellor Malott will welcome the gold star guests at the luncheon.
He will also play a recital each day for the following three days—a starlight program at 8 p.m. Monday, May 28, a sunset recital at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 29, and a Memorial Day recital at noon Wednesday, May 30.

Fulbright Applications Available Now
Students interested in Fulbright scholarships to be offered during the academic year 1952-53 may obtain applications from Dr. J. A. Burzle, Fulbright program advisor, 304 Fraser.
Competitions for the 1952-53 academic year close Monday, Oct. 15, and all applications must be filed by then.
The selection of candidates for awards is made on the basis of the applicant's personal suitability, his academic record, and the worth and feasibility of his proposed study project. Personal suitability includes such characteristics as adaptability to new situations, tact, capacity for leadership, earnestness of purpose, emotional stability and integrity.
The four basic qualifications are: United States citizenship, a college degree or its equivalent at the time award is to be taken up, knowledge of the language of the country sufficient to carry on the proposed study and good health.
The basic objective of the Fulbright program is the enhancement
of international understanding by affording opportunities for as many Americans as possible to have a significant educational experience abroad. A grantee will have wide contact with persons of the host country.
Matriculation for a degree or ability to complete a degree while holding a grant, is not a consideration in the selection of grantees.
Competition for the scholarships is on a national competition basis. No written examination will be held but an interview will be required of all grantees.
The holding of a Fulbright scholarship carries with it no assurance of a deferment from military service. Successful grantees must check with local draft boards on draft status.
Awards are made entirely in the currencies of participating countries abroad. They cover transportation expenses of a language refresher or orientation course abroad, tuition, books, and maintenance for one academic year.
Countries open for the 1952-53 competitions are: Australia, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg, Burma, Egypt, France, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Kindom.
For application blanks and further information, students should see Dr. Burzle in 304 Fraser.
A dispatch from the east central front said a large force of southbound Reds had crossed the Pukhian and Soyang rivers in a gradual buildup of round two of their spring offensive. They swarmed over mountains and through valleys, the dispatch said. The rest of the dispatch was censored.
Allied troops fell back on the eastern and East-central fronts. A U.S. eighth army communique said these were line straightening operations, although it was conceded the enemy had knocked a big hole in South Korean lines in the Inje area, near the east coast.
Chinese and North Koreans were falling by the thousands under Allied artillery, firing at the rate of one round every two minutes, and bombs and machine gun bullets fired from warplanes. A late report from the east central front said estimated enemy casualties credited to artillery fire in the last two days was 7,150.
A nearly full moon illuminated the battlefield Thursday night and 12 B-29 bombers dropped 90 tons of high explosive bombs on enemy communications and airfield targets. The much publicized Red air force had not made its threatened appearance. The Reds were relying on small arms, mortars and Russian-type 76 millimeter light artillery.
There also were reports that in their eastern central front attacks they were using recoilless rifles and 155 millimeter howitzers, possibly captured from the Allies in earlier offensives.
The only红 breakthrough came in the Inje area. South Korean flanks were exposed and other ROK units were endangered. American forces rushed in to attempt to seal the gap.
On the central front, U.N. forces made slight withdrawals at several points and took up prepared defenses to meet the expected full onslaught of Red armies massed in North Korea.
A U.S. tank force moving up the Seoul-Changgong highway north of the Han river fought a bitter nine-hour battle against 1,000 Chinese and finally withdrew under enemy mortar and machine gun fire.
Elsewhere on the western front, the Reds held their gains made Wednesday night and early Thursday when they crossed the lightly defended no-man's-land north of Seoul.
In the west, the Communists advanced to a line north of Seoul, but then were forced to give up about two miles.
In the first 24 hours of the new push, the Reds succeeded in moving into about 10 miles of this battlefield "vacuum."
