No World War At Present Says Senator Kefauver
By MARION KLIEWER and ELLSWORTH ZAHM
The world will not be thrown into an all-out world war at this time, Sen. Estes Kefauver said this morning in a breakfast interview.
"I frankly can't believe that the Russians will let this incident be the beginning of World War III. All that Mao Tse Tung is doing is pulling the Kremlin's chestnuts out of the fire."

sausage, toast, and coffee.
In a soft deliberate Southern voice, the Tennessee senator said the present Korean situation can only be settled by taking a firm position and putting a large number of troops in Korea to do something about it.
Speaking of his crime investigation committee's activities, Senator Kefauver said "the committee is doing fine, but is making a lot of people mad while doing its work.
When a Kansan reporter mentioned the possibility of interviewing the senator in the White House, he jokingly said "you can sit with me on the White House balcony."
"We had expected to be on the job from August through October, but the special session of Congress has delayed our work. We intend to hold open hearings in Chicago, New
York City, and Philadelphia in December or January.
He said that the people of the U.S. have done much to clean up corruption in their home communities and cited Kansas City as an example where "the people rose up and did something about it after the Binaggio killing. Although Kansas City has been a hotbed of racketeering, there are lots of cities worse than Kansas City.
"We have found definite well-financed and well-organized groups of criminals with interlocking directorates. One group is able to call on the other groups for financial assistance. The situation is more serious than we had expected to find it."
Commenting on world government, he said "the feasibility of world government has been unfeasible for a long time. We ought to pray and look forward to the day when all peoples will be decent citizens of a world government."
Trend Toward Greater Utilization Of Raw Materials Seen In Kansas
The value of raw materials produced in Kansas has increased threefold during the past ten years, indicating a definite trend toward greater utilization of the state's mineral resources, said Earl K. Nixon of the state geological survey at the University.
By way of comparison, the percentage of increase in mineral production is identical to that in livestock production for the same period. The value of raw minerals for 1949, approximately 348 million dollars, is 21 per cent of the present total Kansas economy of 1,758 million dollars, exclusive of services.
The greatest mineral production in Kansas is petroleum, which accounts for about 85 per cent of the value of minerals produced. Industrial minerals, exclusive of metals, which now make up about 12 per cent of the mineral production, are showing the greatest rate of increase.
The increase in clay products for the same period is in part the result of research by the state geological survey to determine possible commercial uses of Kansas clay.
The value of sand and gravel produced during the past 10 years has increased from $322,000 to about 4½ million dollars, reflecting a more wide-spread demand for construction and road materials.
Availability of raw materials and water supply are important to the industrial development of an area. In view of the continuous investigations of these source materials by the state geological survey, Mr.
Nixon predicts still greater increases in the state's mineral raw material output.
William Stinson, engineering junior, was elected general chairman for the engineering exposition at a meeting of the engineering council Tuesday.

Mexican Film Set For Friday

"Donna Barbara," a Mexican movie with English titles will be shown in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The film is an adaptation of the novel by Romulo Gallegos' of Venezuela.
The Mexican cast is used symbolically. Maria Felix as Donna Barbara symbolizes barbarity. She believes she is possessed by supernatural powers and she tries to rule the cattle plains by taking advantage of the fear and superstitions of the plainsmen. Fulfilling the orders of the dictator Gomez, she even changes the law whenever it obstructs her way to power.
