RONNIE EWERT returned to his home in Sunnyside Friday. He is being cared for by his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Richert.
The 6-year-old boy was injured in a car accident in Iowa which took the lives of his father, mother, and sister. Ronnie's doctor says his recovery may be hastened if he can be in his own home and among his playmates.
Mr. and Mrs. Richert have been granted permission to occupy the University housing apartment until Ronnie has recovered. Then they will return to their home in Los Angeles and Ronnie will live with his mother's brother, the Rev. Irvin Richert, his legal guardian, in Dalton, Ohio.
Coed Makes History At Potter Lake As 'Monster' Gets A Face Washing
If the monster in Potter lake was disturbed April 26 blame it on the Lawrence fire department.
The water in the lake was sucked into the department's new $15,000 pump and shot back over the lake at the rate of 750 gallons a minute for three hours to test the pump. Results are that the city will buy the pump and the monster has had a thorough spring face-washing.
Fish were kept from getting into the hose by a strainer on the pump, Fire Chief Paul Ingels explained.
The test was run to check the pump before its purchase by the city of Lawrence. Chief Ingels said it was too muddy to run the test at the waterworks pump station so the fire department resorted to Potter lake.
Mayor Chris Kraft, the Lawrence commissioners, Sheriff Travis Glass. Fire Chief Harvey L, Baldwin of Kansas City, Mo., and the mayor and fire chief from Ottawa witnessed the test.
Chief Baldwin brought a new type of fire hose nozzle from Kansas City, Mo., to try out at the test. Anne
Snyder, College junior, aimed the hose as a stream of water under 250 pounds of pressure shot over the lake-"the second time in history that a woman has aimed a fire hose by herself."
Present day nozzles, Chief Baldwin said, require five men to aim with the water at that pressure. The new type of nozzle recently designed in Kansas City, Mo., will go into production soon.
A firehose had been held by one other woman at a recent test in Arkansas Chief Baldwin said.
A cheerleaders' school for students intending to tryout for cheerleaders will begin at 4 p.m. today in Robinson gymnasium. The classes will be repeated Tuesday through Friday at the same hour.

RFC Should Be Abandoned Hoover Says
Washington (U.P.)Former President Herbert Hoover asked Congress to abolish the government's big lending agency which he fathered almost 20 years ago during the depression.
He said the Reconstruction Finance Corp. is not necessary now because its loans "have led to favoritism and corruption" and because 99 per cent of American business can finance itself.
He proposed that where the special help is needed, federal reserve banks guarantee privately-made loans to small business. He said that none of these loans should be more than $100,000.
"There is no starvation of credit" now as there was in 1932 when he recommended creation of the R.F.C., Mr. Hoover argued before the Senate banking committee.
Truman Submits Budget
Washington (U.P.)—President Truman submitted a $60,679,414,690 military budget to the House today for a "rapid build-up in military strength" against the threat of Soviet armed might and military production.
"We are building our military strength in the way best calculated to meet the military threat that confronts us," the president said. "Armed forces of the Soviet Union today far exceed any reasonable defense requirements."
The other players indicted by the New York County grand jury were Al Roth, Ed Warner, Ed Roman and Floyd Layne of City College of New York; Lerov Smith, Adolph Bigos, Sherman White, Nathan Miller, Dick Feurtrado and Lou Lipman of Long Island university, and Connie Schaff of New York university.

Hitt Sees Little Effect Of Draft On KU Men Now
Registrar James K. Hitt thinks that a lot of K.U. men are going to be able to return to school this fall—whether they have a deferment from their draft boards or not. Hitt also believes that all K.U. men should take the draft deferment test to be given in May and June.
"The size of draft calls for April and May and the rumored size for June indicate that there are probably a great many more students who have been called, and had induction postponed, than can be inducted at the end of the present school year within the present quotas." Hitt said.
"We've got 2,000 students in Kansas schools already deferred and a lot of them aren't going in June, July, or even August," he added.
"The induction rate is slowing down enough so that it looks as if many men will be able to go on to school next fall, even though they have not been given occupational deferments—they just won't be called," the registrar said.
"In some instances the draft board wont call any men because they haven't had any orders to draft anyone.
Men students enrolled at K.U. may and should come to this office to pick
When asked about draft boards that state they will not consider the tests in determining whether a student will be drafted or not, Hitt said that although there is nothing in selective service regulations requiring a draft board to pay attention to the test score, it was still to the student's advantage to take it.
up their card of application to take the draft deferment test, because they can't take the test unless they apply, Hitt advised.
Even though there is no compulsion on the board to consider the tests it is to the student's advantage
"The draft board is only a sounding board for the local community," he said. "The most compelling factor in the action of a board is public opinion."
The draft boards' action is governed by two major factors, Hitt said. First—public opinion, and second—sective service regulations.
K. U. men are able to obtain application cards to take the test at the registrar's office because local draft board No. 18 of Douglas county obtained permission from the state office to have cards available at the University, Hitt said.
to take it so that if the board should happen to change its mind the information will be available. he added.
Hitt has also announced the University's method of determining a student's rank in his class.
Draft regulations state that class rank is to be determined by grades of male students only, Hitt said.
"It seems fairest at K.U. because of the diverse and varied course of study, not to put everybody into one rank," he said.
"We have decided to set up a separate ranking for each class and school," Hitt said. "By this method a fellow will be ranked with others in his class and course course. For example, a man who is a junior in engineering will have his ranking determined by his grades in comparison with other grades made by engineering juniors. A man enrolled
Hitt also emphasized that no class rankings will be sent in to local draft boards unless the student's ranking falls in the upper part of his male class average. If the student's ranking does not fall within that area in which deferment on grades might be forthcoming no notice is sent to the local board—unless the board writes to the University for the information or the student requests that the information be sent in.
in the College as a sophomore—by grades made by male College sopho-omes."
Present regulations provide that a student's draft board may consider a student for occupational deferment if he makes a score of 70 or better on the draft deferment test—or if having completed one year of college he ranks in the upper half of his class; after two years of college in the upper two-thirds of his class; and after three years in the upper three-fourths.
"The test scores will be forwarded direct from the testing center in Princeton, New Jersey, after they
"Our general impression is that local draft boards will be expected to wait for the results of the test scores and class rankings before they take any action."
have been scored to the local draft board—neither the University nor the student will know what score was made on the test," Hitt said.
"Students cannot take the deferment test unless they come in and get an application to take the test or get one from their local board."
Hitt also urges male students to stop by the registrar's office and sign a card stating their intention to enroll at K.U. next fall. This evidence of intention to re-enter school may be of great value, he said.
Stating, emphatically that college men aren't asking for an expulsion from military service, but for a chance to finish their education, Hitt said that every student expects to "but in military service."
He urged "calmness and deliberation" and said that "the registrar's office stands ready to furnish any information to the draft board and assistance to the students."
