Deadline for filing nomination applications for the F.A.C.T.S. primary election is 7:30 tonight.
The first issue of Facts bulletin, official party organ, said the applications should be turned in at the party meeting in 6 Fraser hall. Any member of the party can make a nomination. The primary will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. and 7 to 10 pm., Tuesday, April 3.
Calling democratic control in University politics "a radical innovation." Facts, a two-page mimeographed bulletin, called for support of the F.A.C.T.S. party as a means for better student government.
"If there are no issues on student politics," the bulletin states, "there is no excuse for student politics at all, and certainly no excuse for the ridiculous group antagonisms which produce prime examples of perennial adolescents, and frustrate all legitimate co-operation on student problems."
Listing some of the issues on which the party had taken a stand, Facts called for the termination of the present Greek-independent split, a raise in student wages, a day of grace between the last day of classes and the first day of final week, and a student Council "that will do something for the students."
"F.A.C.T.S. does not wish to see Pacachacm dissolved," the bulletin claimed. "F.A.C.T.S. was organized to effect the necessary reforms, and to force campus political parties to stand on issues."

Red Cross Drive
$300 Shy Of Goal
To the Daily Kansan;
For the first time in history, K.U. is in danger of failing to meet its quota for the Red Cross. We are three hundred dollars short of our quota of $1,500. A great many of the faculty and employees of the University have contributed most generously to the Hill drive. Many more have made their contribution to Red Cross workers who have solicited them at their homes.
There are a great many persons, however, who have forgotten to turn in their contributions. This letter is a reminder and a plea for those who haven't yet helped out in the Red Cross drive to send their money or checks immediately to 107 Robinson gymnasium.
Henry A. Shenk, Chairman K U. L. Cross Drive
Let's wind up the drive and go over the top before the Easter vacation.
Very sincerely yours.
P. S. Student contributions will also be welcome!
New York (U.P.)-The senate crime investigating committee gently nudged Gov. Thomas E. Dewey toward the witness chair.
Crime Group May Hear Dewey
It also heard former Mayor William O'Dwyer branded as the actual boss of Tammany Hall, during the period it had close connections with gangland.
Sen. Estes Kefauver repeated the committee's invitation to New York's governor to testify.
He hinted courteously as the day's session began that it was Dewey who was "leaving matters up in the air." He referred to wide-open gambling at Saratoga Springs, and the pardon Dewey granted to gangster Charles "Lucky" Luciano so he could be deported
The charge against O'Dwyer came from Bert Stand, who for almost 30 years was a high official of the New York county Democratic organization known as Tammany Hall. It was directed at O'Dwyer's claim that he had spent all his time as mayor battling the "dominant" and "sinister" influence of Costello inside the Hall. O'Dwyer, Stand said, in effect, was Tammany Hall.
"He changed the leadership in Tammany Hall as often as he changed his mind." Stand said. "The public, however, was apparently misled by all his artful double-talk into believing that O'Dwyer sought to 'reform' the organization when actually his only objective was to control it."
Tuesday O'Dwyer named Stand, among others, as a Tammany leader close to Costello. Afterward, O'Dwyer was forced to admit he had appointed persons close to Costello and to gangster Joe Adonis to office while he was mayor.
Senior announcements, name cards, and cardboard and leather souvenir booklets went on sale today in the business office, 121 Strong hall. They will be sold until Saturday, April 21.

Reds Retreat From UN Troops At 38th
Tokyo (U.P.)—United Nations patrols probed the Korean noman's-land just south of the 38th parallel unopposed today and already may have crossed that controversial line.
BULLETIN
A front dispatch said the Communists have abandoned Chunchon, only seven and a half miles south of the parallel on the central front and the last major Communist base in South Korea.
Topeka (U.P.)—The Kansas house of representatives voted unanimously today to pay retired school teachers higher pensions, and to give greater payments to injured workmen.
The vote in each instance on bills already passed by the senate was 113 to 0.
For the teachers, the minimum monthly payment will become $50 instead of 40, and for 30-year career teachers, the retirement benefit will climb as high as $90 a month by 1956.
Only minor house amendments need be approved by the senate to send the teacher's retirement bill to the governor's desk for signature.

Three other candidates were also chosen to complete the list of 10 which will appear on the general election ballot Tuesday, April 3. The five councilmen elected then will elect the mayor and city manager.
University representatives and their vote totals are George W. Bradshaw, professor of civil engineering, 1,640; and Fred Johnson, laboratory technician for the physiology department, 830. The graduates are Clifton C. Calvin, 1,311; John Crown, 1,527; Lew Henry, 1,674; Glenn Kappelman, 1,025; and George Noland, 1,032.

Otis Helium Plant To Be Reopened
Washington (U.P.)-The bureau of mines announced today that it is reopening its helium plant at Otis, Kan., because of increasing military and industrial needs.
Director James Boyd said the plant will employ some 70 persons, including experienced workers to be transferred from the bureau's Amarillo, Texas, facilities. It will obtain its helium-bearing gas from fields in Pawnee, Rush and Barton counties, he said.
While helium still is used primarily for inflating lighter-than-air craft, increasing quantities are being used in welding aluminum, magnesium and stainless steel, and in diving operations, and for medical and scientific research.
Anderson Slightly Better
Laurel E. Anderson, professor of organ and theory, is in a slightly improved condition, Watkins hospital officials said today. He underwent an appendectomy March 12.
The bulk of up to 250,000 Chinese and Korean Reds aligned across the 140-mile-wide Korean peninsula already have retreated across the 38th parallel into North Korea.
Pursuing 8th army forces rammed in strength within eight and a half miles of the old Communist border on the East coast and within $11 \frac{1}{2} $ to 13 miles at three points on the central and west-central fronts.
A dispatch from the central front reported UN patrols were striking out far ahead of the general advance. It said:
"Armored patrols probed territory between UN main elements and the parallel today unopposed by the enemy. Some other patrols by friendly units met light scattered resistance."
There was intense speculation in Tokyo that a turn in the war is imminent—either militarily, politically, or both. But official sources declined comment.
It was believed some of the tank-tipped spearheads already may have crossed the pareillet. President Truman has authorized Gen. Douglas MacArthur to send his forces across the old north-south Korean border if he sees fit to do so.
South Korean units on the east coast made the closest announced approach to the parallel. They drove eight miles north of Kangnung to within eight and a half miles of the old border and sent patrols probing farther north.
KU Receives Study Grant
The U.S. Public Health service has made a $3,000 grant to Dr. Charles Michener, chairman of the University entomology department, for the study of certain types of mosquitoes in relation to encephalitis lelargicus.
The kinds to be studied breed in in Kansas and are suspected to be transmitters of the disease sometimes called sleeping sickness. The disease occurs in Kansas with a somewhat higher rate of incidence in the Ft. Scott area. A variation of the disease that affects livestock is also found here.
"The supposed route of encephalitis is from birds to man and horses via mosquitoes," Dr. Michener said. "Some mosquitoes suck blood, others don't. Ordinary mosquito surveys make little distinction between the two types. The object of this study will be to ascertain more about the characteristics and living habits of the mosquitoes with an eye to encephalitis control."
One research fellow will be appointed under the grant, which becomes effective June 1 for one year. Considerable field work will be involved, Dr. Michener said.
Jobs Open In College Daxe
Positions are open on the advertising, publicity, and ticket staffs of "College Daze." Anyone interested in these positions should phone John Eulich at 443.
WEATHER
