Demands US Stay At Home
Washington—(U.P.)A group of 108 house Republicans demanded today that the United States concentrate on defense of the western hemisphere and abandon a foreign policy of "costly failure."

Chief sponsor of the GOP "declaration" is Rep. Lawrence H. Smith of Wisconsin. He declared the nation's present world position is "dangerous," and the future "tragic." For this reason, the Republicans deci-
2. Make this country impregnable attack.
"1. Whatever our future military or political policy is to be, it must be determined with the full participation and approval of the committee."
"3. Reduce non-essential civilian expenditures.
4. Build a strong defense system in the western hemisphere.
"6. Conclude peace treaties with Germany, Japan and Austria."
15. Establish a strong defense line in the Atlantic and Pacific. Refuse further aid of any kind to western Europe unless persuaded that western Europe is carrying their allies. Europe may also invite Britain and the British Commonwealth of Nations to participate fully in this program.

KCU Hikes Tuition As Enrollment Drops
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Education has joined the high cost of living ranks in Kansas City.
The University of Kansas City has announced an increase in tuition fees to go into effect with the start of the summer term June 7.
In the liberal arts college and the pharmacy and law schools, the increase will be from $10 a credit hour to $12 a semester.
Tuition fees for undergraduates in the school of dentistry will be increased from $450 to $600 annually.
Dr. Clarence R. Decker, president of the university, said the action was because of the drop in enrollment. The enrollment now is about 2,600, compared with 3,400 last year.

Habein Speaks To AWS Group
"Leadership must be an expression of desire to help others, not to satisfy your own needs." Margaret Habein, dean of women, said at an Associated Women Students workshop Tuesday night.
A series of three meetings completed this year's leadership program. This marks the third successful year for the AWS workshop, said Patricia Cameron. College senior chairman of the leadership workshop committee. Other guest speakers include Vincent, assistant director of Kansas high school activities, and William Conboy, speech instructor.
Miss Habein said that leadership gives a person confidence, security, learning, responsibility, and experience in human relations. She said that it is important to remember that "every person you come in contact with is an individual," and must be treated as such.
Women are leaders in homes, but preparation for marriage is not stressed in college, according to Miss Habein. Colleges are training women in every academic field. Then women leave school and "take on the most important career in the world without any preparation."
Miss Habein feels that raising a family is more complex than it used to be and it is naive to assume "common horse sense" will make a mother. Women should take courses on what makes the home click, what makes a good diet, how and what to feed the family, and training in community problems.

Thomson Says Review Is Not A Grade Card
"A music review is not a report card," said Virgil Thomson, music critic for the New York Herald Tribune and American composer, who spoke Tuesday night in Fraser theater.
Mr. Thomson has guest conducted symphony orchestra in leading cities of the United States. He was guest conductor of his "Louisiana Suite" that was played by the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra in hoch auditorium Monday night.
"The sole justifiable purpose of music reviewing is to inform the public," Mr. Thomson said. "The reporter is not engaged to grade the performer. His main purpose is to report what happened. Information may not and cannot always be factual.
"Any reporter is temporarily an expert if the managing editor says he is. We describe and estimate the concert for the public and not for any particular group. The description is more important than the estimation, but the latter is necessary to show the readers where you stand on the subject."
Mr. Thomson said the opera is difficult to review. He pointed out that in a concert, the reviewer can write on one or two significant selections, but the opera is a whole unit.
"Our standard of news is a little more different than that of the front page," Mr. Thomson explained. "To us, standard news about famous people is not as important as happenings of the less significant people. We consider intellectual distinction to be news."
"We aim to tell the truth and to observe strict courtesy. The polite statement is hard to sue about. You can say almost anything if you watch your language."
Mr. Thomson's lecture was the first in the fourth annual series of the humanities lectures. Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, introduced Mr. Thomson.
Ellis Bird Library Has 15th Century Manuscript
In addition to 65,000 volumes on ornithology, the library of the late Ralph Ellis has periodicals dating back to 1830 and an Italian manuscript of the 15th century.
While building a library about birds, Ellis also collected much other information. There are two stacks of special and general bibliography on almost any subject.
John Nugent, Watson library cataloger, is classifying the collection. Beginning the work Sept. 1, 1950, he has now checked about half the books and put them in alphabetical order.
The library has a copy of The Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London dated 1830. A volume of Shakespeare's works has been found. The books, about 12 by 16 inches, are printed with large type for easy reading.
A book with a blue velvet cover is another interesting item in the collection. The cover is decorated with chiseled silver corner ornaments and clasps and gilt edges.
The library was originally valued between $200,000 and $400,000. Offers for parts of the collection have been made by other libraries which specialize in ornithological and related literature.
Printed on vellum and illustrated in gold, the Italian manuscript dates to the 15th century.
The Ellis library will make the best ornithological library between Chicago and San Francisco, Mr. Nugent said.
The University acquired the Ellis library in 1946 as a result of a Kansas supreme court decision.
