Prof Emeritus Of Chemistry Dies Wednesday
Dr. Herman Camp Allen, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University, died Wednesday afternoon at the K.U. Medical center in Kansas City. He was 75 years old.
Dr. Allen entered the Medical center May 3 and underwent a major operation Monday.
He was considered one of the leading authorities in Kansas on the chemical analysis of gases and oils, since his retirement from teaching in 1946. Dr. Allen had come nearly every day to his laboratory on the campus and made analyses of samples sent by companies all over the state.
Dr. Allen began 46 years of service to the University in 1905 when he became a laboratory instructor while earning an M.A. degree in chemistry. He had received the A.B. degree from McPherson college in 1905, and later earned the Ph.D. from Cornell university in 1912. He became an assistant professor at U.U. in 1908, an associate professor in 1914, and a full professor in 1919.
From 1922 to 1932 Dr. Allen directed chemical research. From 1936 until his retirement he taught courses in chemical engineering.
He is survived by the widow; a
aister, Mrs. D. A. Lyle of Lawrence,
and his sisters in California. A son
lived childhood.
Funeral services will be held at 30 p.m., Friday, at the Rumsey funeral home. The family asks that flowers be sent.

Britain Bans Rubber Exports To Communist China
London (U.P.)—Sir Hartley Shawcross, president of the board of trade, announced today a ban on all exports of rubber to Communist China from British territories for the rest of this year. This announcement came after a demand by Winston Churchill, World War II prime minister, for an embargo on rubber shipments from British colonies to Communist China.
Churchill accused the Labor Government of damaging Anglo-American relations and imperiling the safety of free nations by failing to reach agreement with the United States on the Far East.
The occasion of Churchill's demand was an admission by Sir Hawcross that 357 million dollars worth of goods had been sent to Communist China since the Korean war began in June.
Churchill immediately accused the Labor government of pursuing Far Eastern "appeasement" policy that may wreck "the whole free world." Britain's continued diplomatic recognition of Communist China has become "illogical" and is making difficult for the western allies to form a clear and strong policy in the Orient, he said.
Well-informed sources said last night that both government and opposition leaders are urging top-level officials of Britain to meet with the United States to smooth over relations between the two countries.
These sources said that British Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison may visit Washington soon in an attempt to reach a complete agreement.
"We should not have any sympathies with Red China and the more they are expressed and manifested in this house the more harm is done the United States" Churchill said.
"After all the United States are doing 19/20ths of the work in Korea. We can measure American feeling by our own."
Band To Present Annual Spring Concert Monday
The University concert band under the direction of Russell L. Wiley will present its annual spring concert at 8 p.m. Monday, May 14, in Hoch auditorium.
Dale Moore, baritone, will be the vocal soloist. He will sing "None But The Lonely Heart" and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes."
Two soloists will be included on the program. Tommy Lovitt, cornet soloist will play a transcription from the Finale of Mendelssohn's "Concerto for Violin."
The concert band will present a variety of colorful and interesting music from several well known composers. The brilliant "Overture to Die Meistersinger" will be the opening number and the concert will close with "Waltzes from Der Rosenkavalier."
The "French Quarter Suite" by John Morrissey will be one of the more descriptive numbers on the program. Its setting is in New Orleans and its three numbers include scenes from the Patio, the French Market Place, and the Congo.
The program will be about an hour and twenty minutes long and will be the final public performance for the band this school year.
Senior Class Nears Record
A graduating class only slightly smaller than the 1950 record will be honored at the 79th annual commencement of the University.
The commencement program will carry between 2,200 and 2,300 names of persons receiving degrees or certificates since the 1950 commencement. The 1950 program listed 2,438 names.
About 1,300 persons may complete requirements for degrees in June, not quite as many as in 1949 and about 150 fewer than in 1950. However 444 completed courses with the last summer session and 511 more finished in January of this year.
The final examination period, which will determine the actual size of the June graduating class, will be Thursday, May 24 through Thursday, May 31. Baccalaureate services will be the evening of June 3 and commencement exercises the next night.
Survey Has Report On Kansas Oil Pool
Both programs will be in Memorial stadium.
The story of an oil pool that started one of the most important leasing and wildcat drilling programs in Kansas in recent years has been issued by the State Geological survey at the University.
"The Geology of the Davis Oil Poal" was written by Ellis L. Anders Jr., associated professor of petroleum engineering, and R. Kenneth Smith, geologist with the survey.
The Davis raich pool in Wabausee county, Kansas, was discovered in April 1949. Since its discovery, 65 holes have been drilled in Wabausee county, 38 of which were wildcats.
Copies of the report may be obtained free from the survey office, 206 Lindley.
UN Tank Patrols Enter Munsan
Tank-infantry teams which reached Munsan, 10 miles south of the parallel, met no opposition. But other foot patrols on both sides of the Seoul-Munsan highway said the Reds were digging in and fighting back for the first time in a week.
Tokyo, May 10—(U.P.)—United Nations tank patrols smashed into Munsan, 21 miles northwest of Seoul today, but the Communists showed signs they might turn and fight now that they are backed up against Western Korea's 38th parallel again.
F. A.C.T.S. campus political party, would like the "inside dope" on the recently announced raises in student fees.
The board of regents announced on April 23 that the incidental fee would be increased $10 a semester for Kansas students and $30 a semester for out-of-state students.
Five persons were appointed committee heads by Donald Dirks, president. They are Roy Zimmerman and Frank Lindemuth, membership; William Adams, public information; Lou Ann Smee, records; and Rita Long, activities promotion.
FACTS To Check On Student Fees
This was the tenor of a resolution passed by party members Wednesday night. The resolution asked for a statement from the board of regents on why fees were raised, and why raised unequally.
Dirks listed the planks in the party platform which have been fulfilled since F.A.C.T.S. took office. They include the abolishment of All Student Council salaries, appointment of a committee to aid in the selection of the next chancellor, and a five-cent raise in starting salaries for students working in the library.
> Other tank patrols ranged six to eight miles north of Uijongbu, 11 miles north of Seoul, ran into an enemy screening force and killed an estimated 20 communists.
Air reports said the Communists were moving in strength into the area northwest of Uijongbu for what may be the second round of their spring offensive.
Air reports said traffic on the Communist supply highways from Manchuria has decreased during the past two days, indicating that new supplies for the second round of the Reds' spring offensive now have been delivered.
Student Fair After Crash
Some sources expected the new blow might fall between May 13 and 15. Other American commanders said they thought the Reds might not strike again unless forced to do so to keep United Nations forces out of North Korea.
Tank patrols attempting to push through the hills were stopped by heavy mine fields guarded by machine guns. Infantry patrols were showered with rifle and machine gun fire.
Washington. (U.R.)—A senator said today that possible use of a "new secret weapon of great destructive power" has figured in Gen. George C. Marshall's secret testimony on how the Korean war might be won. This senator has heard all of the defense secretary's testimony before the committee investigating the discharge of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. He would not permit use of his name. Marshall said today
Hobart Michael. College senior, received multiple bruises when his car went into the ditch near the Skyline club, east of Lawrence on highway 10, at 2 a.m. today. Michael's condition in Watkin's Memorial hospital was described as fairly good this morning.
These doubts were expressed in the transcript of testimony made public after being censored by Vice Adm. Arthur C. Davis, assigned by the defense department to screen 'testimony for military security.'
The censored transcript did show, however, that General Marshall did give his ideas on how victory could be achieved. This part of his testimony was deleted either at General Marshall's direction or by Admiral Davis on his own.
General Marshall said today the United States if necessary, should veto any proposal to admit Communist China to the United Nations and should refuse to discuss turning over Formosa to the Reds.
New Secret Weapon Figures In Marshall Senate Hearing
The senator said that it was in this phase of the censored testimony that discussion of the possible use of the new weapon occurred. The senator said General Marshall did not identify the weapon.
It is well known that this country is trying to develop—or has developed — atomic artillery shells, And recently Rep. Albert Gore, (D.-Tenn.), indicated that the United States has developed a means of contaminating the ground with deadly radioactive materials in a manner safe to those doing it. Representative Gore urged that the
method be used to "dehumanize" a belt across North Korea.
But there was no indication at all that any of these weapons were what General Marshall had in mind. General Marshall told the senators Wednesday that Communist losses in Korea have assumed "very serious proportions." If continued, he said "the trained fabric of the Chinese Communist forces will be pretty well torn to pieces."
It is on these "terrific losses" that the defense secretary and the administration count for concluding the Korean war. General Marshall said that because of such losses suffered by the Communists a negotiated peace—"not an appeasement in any manner"—may be obtained.
General Marshall said the administration considered leaving General MacArthur in charge of Japan but decided it would be "most unwise" because of possible "conflict" with the Korean war command.
He said it was "carefully considered," and he conceded that General MacArthur's "prestige with the Japanese people" could not be duplicated, certainly in a short time, by any other individual."
