CHARLIE HOAG, KU FORWARD, slips past Missouri's Bud Heineman and another unidentified Tiger to lay one in during the Jayhawker's 61 to 46 defeat of Sparky Staleup's men Monday night. Sonny Enns drives in from the side past Tiger Dan Witt, for a possible rebound. The win gives Kansas a conference record of two wins against no defeats.
Sociologist To Talk In Fraser Today
French Commands attempt to whip up a popular protest against Eisenhower as the "MacArthur of Europe" just before the superme commander left Paris. But the demonstration fell far short of Red hopes.
Reliable sources said that the move gave Konev a post similar in all but name to that of Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, who became Poland's defense minister in 1949.
Belgium will offer Eisenhower two divisions soon and another at the end of the year to incorporate into the Atlantic pact force of 50 to 60 divisions.
Communist leaders issued a call to workers to quit their jobs and send delegations to Eisenhower's temporary headquarters at the Hotel Astoria on the Champs Elysse.
The demonstrators shouted "Eisenhower go home" and "we want peace" but the Atlantic pact supreme commander was not around his headquarters to hear them.
French Communists attempted to $ ^{\circ}$
Konev, who led Soviet forces into Slovakia and Moravia in World War II, is considered one of Russia's best commanders by Western military men.
Only 800 demonstrators showed up two hours later and were far outnumbered by 5,060 police who kept them moving and prevented any traffic jam on the avenue.
Prague, Czechoslovakia - (U.P.) The commander-in-chief of the Russian ground forces has arrived in Czechoslovakia near the German-Czech frontier and is directing stepped-up operations of the Czech army, it was learned today.
The first thing this morning Eisenhower paid a courtesy call on French President Vincent Auriol at Elysee palace. Then he drove to headquarters of the Western Union military command at Fontainebleu for conferences with high-ranking officers there.
Red General 'For Czech Army'
At least 1,000 high-ranking Soviet officers who have been appointed "advisers" to the Czech army are with him.
The commander, Marshal Invan Stepanovich Konev, is believed to have established military headquarters at Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary), 55 miles northwest of Prague.
He once served as Russian representative on the Allied control commission for Austria.

Powell, who received his degree from KU, in 1940, returned to the campus in 1946 after four years with the Air Force. He completed his graduate study and was appointed director of intramural athletics. Under his direction, the intramural program grew to include 10 sports and 15 tournaments in which 5,800 men participated yearly.
An official of the Foundation said the increasing number of auto accidents, and resulting deaths, disabling injuries, and property destruction is a grave social problem.
Donald F. Powell, director of intramural athletics and instructor in physical education, will return to active duty as captain with the U.S. Air Force Wednesday.

Lack of financial responsibility and inadequacy of legal systems cause numerous compensation losses to accident victims. The contest is intended to stimulate constructive interest in the problem.
Powell will report to Washington, D.C., and the Air Force's psychological warfare school at Georgetown University.

'More USTroops To Europe,' Taft
Washington, —(U.P.)— Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R) Ohio) said today that President Truman's state of the union message was "mostly generalities" and a tip that more American troops soon will move to Europe.
Other Republicans, and some Democrats, hoped that Mr. Trump soon would tell congress his specific ideas on U.S. troop commitments. Administration sources said, however, this was unlikely until Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's return from Europe next month.
"It's hard to answer the president's speech because it was mostly generalities," he told a reporter. "There is little I could disagree with. The only positive thing was his goal of 3,500,000 men in the armed forces which indicates that he persists in planning to send ground forces abroad."
There appears a possibility that Mr. Truman might ask congress for the authority, either by legislation or through consultation, to send American troops overseas.
Senator Taft and other Republicans want a specific okeh by congress before American troops are sent abroad.
Senate floor leader Kenneth S Wherry, (R., Neb.) introduced a resolution a few minutes after the president spoke to prevent overseas movement of troops without congressional approval. He said that he would "press for action at the earliest practicable date."
Taft advocates a force of about one million less than the 3,500,000 planned by the administration. Taft believes that a sizeable portion of the 1,000,000-man difference will be earmarked for service in General Eisenhower's new Atlantic Pact Joint command.
Mr. Truman, in apparent answer to Taft and former president Herbert Hoover, told congress yesterday that if western Europe and the free countries of Asia and Africa should fall to Soviet Russia, we would face military forces which we never hope to equal.

Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law spoke today at a luncheon of the Wichita Bar Association on "The Lawyer in the World Crisis." George Powers, "28, is president of the association.
Bar Members Hear Moreau
London, —(U.P.)— President Truman's state of the union message calmed the fears of Europeans today that they might be abandoned to the Russians by the United States.
The fears were given impetus by the recent foreign policy statements of former Republican president Herbert Hoover and Sen. Robert A. Taft. (R. Ohio).
But the European press took heart from the president's message and called on Europeans to jump on the rearmament bandwagon to give America more confidence in them.
The independent conservative London Times said the Truman message was "a challenge to the rulers and people of Western Europe."
It said Western European nations "have to show, for the sake of their own safety, the will and the wisdom that President Truman has attributed to them in putting their defense in readiness."
The newspaper Daily Herald, organ of the labor party, said "certainly this is no time for the free nations to seek their security by separate paths, and President Truman's repudiation of that doctrine will be welcomed here and on the Continent."
The Financial Times said Mr. Truman "went farther than he might have been expected to go by joining Asia and Africa with Europe as areas whose defense was vital to the United States."
The Paris Press viewed the message as a telling blow against "Isolationism," the middle-of-the-road L'Aube carrying the headline, "Truman refutes the specious arguments of Taft."
The conservative Le Parisien said Mr. Truman "Delivered the most virulent denunciation ever made by an American chief of state against a Russian attempt to dominate the world."
Norwegian government sources said the message was an ample reply to the "more or less" isolationist sentiments of Mr. Hoover and Mr. Taft.
The Swedish press hailed Mr. Truman's straight-forwardness and suggested Russia would take quick advantage of any split in the United States on foreign policy
The favorable reception of the Truman message coincided with some indications that Europeans were pushing the proposed rearmament a little harder.
The French national assembly gave final approval to a two billion dollar French military budget after three weeks of dilatory legislative action on it.
Approximately half the money is earmarked to get the French contribution to the Atlantic Pact army off paper and into the field.
General Eisenhower got from the French a promise of five divisions immediately and 20 by the end of 1953.
General Eisenhower will go today to Brussels, Belgium, where he is expected to get a promise of three divisions, and not much more before 1953.
Sandelius To Give 'Crisis' Lecture
