Tito Charges Russia With Arming Border
Belgrade, Yugolavia — (U.P.) - Yugoslavia charged today that Russia is massing men and weapons along her frontiers for an attack aimed at overthrowing Marshal Tito's government.
Large contingents of Soviet troops are stationed near the border in both Romania and Hungary, and Russia also is arming and mobilizing those Soviet Balkan statellites, the Yugoslav government said in a 481-page White book.
Nearly 2,000 border incidents and shootings in the past three years already has created a "permanent little war on our frontiers," Yugoslavia charged.
The White book added that widespread military preparations now taking place were airmed at "attack operations in the direction of Yugoslavia."
All along the frontier, Yugoslavia charged, Russia and her satellites are removing population, planting minefields, erecting barbed wire barricades, digging trenches, and building emplacements for artillery, mortars and machineguns.
New roads and new airfields are being built, the White book continued, and more and more military units are being brought into the border areas for intensive training.
"Large scale maneuvers are being carried out, all of them having the same underlying ideas—attack operations in the direction of Yugoslavia," the book said. "All this is accompanied by intensive anti-Yugoslav propaganda in the armies of these states."
Russia is supplying all kinds of weapons to the satellite armies and the satellites themselves are producing Soviet-type weapons in an effort to accomplish standardization of arms. Yugloslavia said.
"In these countries, the production of armaments of a type and caliber used in the Soviet Union is increasing," the book said. "The armaments stocks in these armies are also growing with the help of deliveries direct from the Soviet Union . . . These countries are introducing bombers and tanks over the specifications of weight and number contained in the peace treaty."
Copies of the Yugoslav charges will be presented later today to the government and to Secretary General Trygve Lie of the United Nations.
Deputy Foreign Minister Ivo Vejvoba, who distributed the book to the press today, said it was "purely coincidental" that the document appeared during the Paris Big Four conference.
Enrollment To Drop College Deans Say
State universities of the Mississippi valley region expect about a 25 percent decrease in enrollment next fall. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, said Wednesday.
Dean Lawson attended a recent conference of the deans of the liberal colleges of state universities in the Mississippi valley at Albuquerque, N. M.
Dean Lawson said the deans agreed there would be a slight reduction in the size of faculties. Reductions would be in the ranks of instructors rather than professors.

Robert T. Price, Topeka, the youngest justice of the Kansas supreme court, is the Oread nominee for vice president. He previously has been a vice president of the association. His opponent is Howard G. Engleman, Salina, one of K.U.'s all-time basketball greats and the University's honor man for 1947. The presidency and vice presidency are for one year terms.
Mr. Wunsch has been active in alumni affairs since he received a law degree in 1925 and currently is a trustee of the K.U. Endowment association. Mr. Breidentalhas been a vice-president of the association, a member of the K.U. athletic board and is now on the Endowment association's executive committee. He has received the association's award for distinguished service.
Paul R. Wunsch, Kingman lawyer is the Hiltoppers nominee for president. Opposing him is Maurice L. Breindental, Kansas City, Kansas, bank president.
The Hilltoppers committee nominated Dolph Simons, Lawrence and Dr. Charles K. Shofstall, Kansas City, Mo. retiring president and vice president respectively, for 3-year terms as directors. Mr. Simons is publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World. Dr. Shofstall is an ear, nose and throat specialist and member of the KU medical faculty.

Art Students To Give Show
Seven hundred high school students are expected to attend the annual Kansas High School Art conference and exhibition Friday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17.
Work of students from junior and senior high schools will be exhibited and judged. Students will attend demonstrations which will include watercolors and oil paintings, handicraft technique, air brush technique, making life masks, etching processes, leather work and lath work technique, and sculpture and ceramics.
Well-known Kansas craftsmen will also exhibit work and lecture on special processes. Lectures on stage craft will be given and the students will watch rehearsals of the University Players.
Art aptitude tests and color blindness tests will be given to students desiring to take them.
Critics who will judge the students' work are Miss Geraldine Mullimex, public school art supervisor of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs Ruth White, art instructor, Muskogee Junior college, Muskogge, Okla.; and Mrs Joan Justice Nordline, education division, Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa, Okla.
"There was no intention that this become a political issue. None of us are affiliated with any campus political faction. We are displeased with the action of the Council, but felt we had no representation in the matter. We have no reluctance to revealing our names. The reason we have not done so it that we felt this a student movement, that the petitions could be circulated by anyone, and that we wanted no advertisement for ourselves."
The six other students who originated the idea are Stanley Kelley, Albert Roland, Arthur Cook, graduate students; Elmer Rusco and Bromleigh Lamb, College seniors, and Dan Gallin. College junior.
The suggestion that petitions be circulated was first made on Feb. 28. Miss Francisco said. The seven students had gone to drink coffee after a 4 p.m. class had been cancelled. It was during this time that the plans for the petitions was formulated. She pointed out that this was before any political organization had made a stand on the issue
The seven are planning to present the petitions to the A.S.C. in its meeting Tuesday, Miss Francisco said. She added that she knew nothing of the rumor of a "storm on the Council." The group is planning to place booths in the Union lounge for collection of the petitions.
Miss Francisco related that the group did not know how many petitions or names had been circulated or signatures received. None had been collected as of Thursday night.

Mrs. Newlin, who reached the century mark February 28, is K.U.'s oldest living alumna. She was in the entering class when K.U.'s doors were opened in 1866.
"I never dreamed I was so important," Mrs. Newlin remarked. "Everyone from president to janitor seems to have remembered."
Mrs. A. D. Maple, a daughter living with Mrs. Newlin in Whittier, wrote to Chancellor Deane W. Malot, expressing the sincere appreciation of both for the remembrances.
Because Mrs. Newlin will be unable to answer all the cards, she wishes to say "thank you" for the many kind wishes.
FEPC Push Grows
Topeka (U.P.)—A move was under way today to establish a fair employment practices commission in Kansas.
Victor Haffich, Garden City farmer and head of a state organization favoring a bill pending before the house of representatives, disclosed a list of prominent Kansans supporting the measure. He said seven Kansas mayors, including those of the state's three largest cities, have endorsed the bill.
The measure, designed to curb racial and religious exclusion in employment, was introduced by Rep. Myles Stevens, R., Kansas City, the legislature's only Negro member. It would establish a five-man commission, appointed by the governor, to administer an act similar to laws now in operation in eight other states.
The mayors listed by Haffich were Earl K. Duke, Wichita; Charles Tucker, Kansas City; Frank Warren, Topeka; Fred Stein, Atchison; L. L. Sexton, Leavenworth; Charles E. Rust, Manhattan, and William J. B. Turner, Lawrence.
