ASC Discusses Pact Revision, Docks ISA Fund
A Peace Pact "middle committee" was suggested to the All Student Council last night by Helen Maduros, education junior. The committee would decide whether charges made by the University of Kansas or Kan-State college are fair.
Other suggestions for handling property damage were discussed by Council members. Bill Wilson, engineering sophomore, said he thought the police on the respective campuses should take care of the problem. Beverly Jennings, College junior, said it seemed to her that the Peace Pac meant "nothing to the average student."
Further discussion and a possible altering of the Peace Pact was put off until later.
Ninety-one dollars was appropriated to the Independent Students' association at the suggestion of Joe Wimsatt, A.S.C. treasurer. The I.S.A. had asked for $375. Wimsatt explained the cut by saying that the A.S.C. should not be expected to pay for the social activities of any one group of students. The cut made was based on the social budget of the I.S.A.
Cars Slide, Collide On Icy Streets
Icy streets were blamed for an automobile accident at Eleventh and Emery streets Wednesday afternoon which resulted in $600 damage to a 1949 Chevrolet driven by William C. Salome, business junior.
Salome said that his car, which carried six people, came down the hill and skidded into a 1955 Ford driven by William G. Marshall, 1219 Prospect. Marshall's automobile had turned a corner and started up the hill.
Salome estimated that his car skidded 20 feet and said that the other automobile also skidded on the ice pavement.
Melvin Clingan, A.S.C. president, requested reports from all committee chairmen at the next council meeting.
Joe Wimsatt suggested that the council look into the selling of used textbooks. The difference in the original price of textbooks and their resale value, and the rapidity with which texts are changed were discussed.
The resignations of Barbara Hagan, business junior, and Edward Grandle, engineering junior, were read. Miss Hagan was a representative at large, and GrANDLE was a representative from district two, engineering and architecture.
Tuesday nights were made the permanent meeting nights of the A.S.C. The next meeting will be Feb. 13.
More Switchmen 'Sick' As Rail Strike Grows
By UNITED PRESS
Other railroadmen joined the switchmen's wildcat strike today and the walkout began strangling the nation's war production.
Trainmen who perform road duties such as fare collections were reporting "sick" today at New York City and in New Jersey.
At Knoxville, several roadmen, 65 year men, and some conductors and engineers joined switchmen in their strike against the Southern railroad.
About 5,000 switchmen—members of the Brotherhood of Fairroad Trainmen—were involved in the wildcat walkout against 44 roads in 23 cities across the country.
Scores of industrial plants began shutting down, throwing at least 50,000 persons out of employment. The Postoffice department was

"actively considering" an embargo on the mails and it was possible that it would take action today.
The Railway Express company already had clamped an embargo on inter-regional shipments and the Federal Defense Transportation administration ordered all railroads to reject immediately all shipments which cannot be dispatched to or through trunk vards.
They extended the walkout today to several more cities, including New York, Atlanta and Camden, N. J.
JAMIE MAE DANIELS
Freshman Girl Killed Monday In Auto Crash
Jamie Mae Daniels, 18-year-old College freshman, was killed at 8:45 a.m. Monday in a near head-on collision of two automobiles on U. S. highway 54 five miles west of Kingman.
The occupants of the other car involved in the accident were treated for cuts and bruises at Kingman Memorial hospital. They were Roscoe F. Dyer, 22, and Henry Sahm, 18, both of Dodge City.
Two other passengers in the car were injured. Mrs. Dee Daniels, 40, Meade, mother of the dead woman, suffered a broken nose and face lacerations, and Mrs. Theis Strieff, Plains, 45, mother of the dead woman's fiancée, suffered a broken leg.
Miss Daniels was driving to Wichita with her mother and Mrs. Strieff. She planned to take the train to Lawrence and enroll for the second semester at the University.
Jamie Daniels' two roommates, Donna Lee Harrison, College senior, and Alice Darlene Geiman, fine arts senior, also Delta Gamma pledges, had been roommates of Natalie Pierson, fine arts freshman, and David Lloyd suffered in an automobile accident during the Christmas holidays.
Registration for the spring semester at the University was 6,159 as classwork began today, it was reported by James K. Hitt, registrar. An estimated 150 late enrollments will bring the student body to more than 6,300.
1,200 Drop In Spring Semester
Miss Daniels was engaged to Wayne Strieffe, Plains, a wheat farmer. The couple planned to be married this summer.
The mid-year graduating class of nearly 500 was about the same as in the past three years, Hitt said, but the 322 new student total is appreciably below those of recent years. The latter figure includes 198 new students and 154 returning former students. Among the new registrants are 133 veterans as compared to 221 in February of 1950.
There are now 1,326 veterans on the Lawrence campus, about 900 fewer than last fall and 1,700 fewer than a year ago.
Attendance at the Kansas City division of the school of medicine is 526; there are 5,633 at Lawrence.
'Ike' Discusses Atlantic Nations
The funeral was held at 2 p.m. today at Meade and burial will be at the Meade cemetery.
Washington—(U.P)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told Congress today that the United States cannot "pick up the world" on its shoulders and that its Atlantic Pact allies must cooperate for common defense.
Eisenhower, the new supreme commander of the joint western forces, told a special joint senate-house meeting that he was back in uniform for one purpose—"with no end to serve except the United States."
"You will be forced soon to make far-reaching decisions that may determine the course of our civilization." he solemnly told Congress.
The entire future of free governments may be at stake, he continued in this his first public report on the outlook for defense of Western Europe since he personally surveyed conditions there.
The general said "The United States cannot pick up the world on its economic, production and financial shoulders."
"We must have cooperation from other nations to preserve the common security of the free world," he said.
He spoke in the jam-packed little auditorium of the Library of Congress.
He spoke in the library auditorium, rather than in the Capitol, because technically this was an unofficial meeting of Congress.
Eisenhower, introduced by vicepresident Alben W. Barkley, spoke without a text.
Recalling that he had visited 12 capitals in Europe in three weeks, he said his information was based on a "meager base." But then he asked Congree to "bieve in the sincerity of my convictions." And added that he had no end to serve save the best interests of the United States.
He said that in Western Europe "exists the greatest pool of skilled
labor in the world." Side by side with it, he said, is a "great industrial fabric second in its capacity only to the United States."
Shifting of that capacity "from our side to the other side" he said, to the Russian side he said, would shift the balance of power to a point where "our safety would be gravely imperiled."
Likewise areas are at stake from which we draw "vital materials." He mentioned manganese, copper and uranium and said that the fall of Western Europe would cut us off from major sources of supply.
Eisenhower said that the Western European nations in cooperation with the United States are "not going to build up a force of any aggressive or any belligerent intent."
"We are going to build for ourselves a secure wall of peace and of security," he said, as the assembled audience burst into applause.
He did not directly mention the Soviet Union but his implication was plain when he said that if any nation moved on the excuse that western Europe was building up its defenses, it would be "nothing but an excuse."
He warned, however, that the United States "can not do this thing alone."
For the United States to act alone in Building Defenses, he said, would be merely "dispersing our strength throughout the world." He said there must be a "comparative effort" on the part of America's allies.
Eisenhower said the United States had "no acceptable alternative to joining with western Europe in resisting communism."
K-State Enrollment May Top 5,150
Manhattan, Kan.-(U.P.)-Enrollment at Kansas State college is expected to pass the 5,150 mark today for the second semester.
The high mark of registrations exceeded by several hundred the estimates of college officials.
Slashes in the state budget recommended for the two-year period beginning July 1 would cut the University's budget $403,280, making it $330,000 below the appropriation for the present biennium.
Recommend Cuts In Budget
The University's request for state service and research and general research funds was cut $1,829,776. A total of $302,000 was trimmed from the research request of the University Medical center.
The recommendations were made by former governor Frank L. Hagaman cooperating with Governor Edward F. Arn. The cuts in appropriations to K.U. and Kansas State were made because of anticipated enrollment declines resulting from the national defense program.
$55,525,746 be expended from the general fund in two-years
This is $30,000,000 less than the requests:
Kansas State's budget was cut
$483,824 to a point $205,000 below the
present appropriations.
$2,000 In Furs Jewelry,Taken From Sorority
Clothing and jewelry valued at nearly $2,000 was reported stolen from the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house between semesters.
Three fur coats accounted for $1,500 of the loss. When the women returned to the house after vacation, they found closets, wardrobes and drawers ransacked. The thief entered the house through a window. Lawrence police are checking the house and an empty whisky bottle found in the house for fingerprints and possible clues to the identification of the culprit.
A large number of trinkets and small pieces of jewelry seemed to be the thief's main interest. Women who reported losses of some value are Janet Padgett, a muskrat coat, $50\circ$ and rhinstone necklace and earrings; Susan Bagby, fur coat, $500, silver bracelets, pearls, beads, and a large assortment of pins rings
