No Democrat Qualified For Senate Majority Leader
Washington—(U.P.)-There is no Democrat wholly qualified to become senate majority leader when the new congress meets.
The post will be vacated by Sen. Scott W. Lucas, (D-III.), who was licked in last week's general election. It must be filled as soon as the new congress meets if the senate is to function properly.
Qualifications of a magician are many. He should have the confidence of his party colleagues in full measure and be a stalwart fighter for the policies of his President.
He should have a considerable degree of seniority and his relations with senators of the other party should be soundly based for the workingout of friendly compromise on occasion.
if the leader is a forceful speaker, so much the better.
so much the better.
Sen. Richard B. Russell, (Ga.), has been mentioned as a likely senate democratic leader. He said he is "not considering" it. He was elected senate in 1932 and has plenty of seniority. But he is against Mr. Truman on all questions of Civil Rights. On 15 senate votes this year classed as vital by the "left wing" and labor elements upon whom Mr. Truman must depend for indispensable political support, Russell voted to please the White House only three times.
Sen. Lister Hill, (Ala.), has a better record. He bolted only three times. But he bitterly opposes the administration on Civil rights. His seniority goes back to 1938.
Sen. Ernest W. McFarland, (Ariz.) came to the senate in 1941. On the 15 test issues, he voted eight times with those who call themselves progressives and seven times with the conservatives.

Four democratic senators have 100 per cent administration voting records for 1950: Hubert H. Humphrey, (Minn.); James E. Murray, (Mont.); Herbert H. Lehman, (N.Y.) and Harley M. Kilgore, (W.Va.)
All but Kilgore and Murray are freshmen who came to the senate in 1949. Murray was elected to the senate in 1934 and Kilgore in 1941.

Allied Troops Advance As Reds Reinforce Line
World Wide News
Allied troops advanced two to three miles in Korea today against stiffening Communist resistance.
Professor Bull, who is professor of Scandinavian literature at the University of Oslo. Norway, will lecture on Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt." Professor Bull is well known as an authority on Ibsen and especially on "Peer Gynt," on which he wrote an interpretative study while in a German concentration camp in Norway during the war.
This included 4,283 killed in action,
and 511 who died of wounds.
There is an exhibit of editions of "Peer Gynt," books about the drama, and photographs of Ibsen on the third floor of Fraser hall.
Washington—(UP)The defense department said today that 28,881 American casualties have been officially reported in the Korean war through Nov. 10.

The report showed that total casualties had increased 646 over the prior report which covered the period ending Nov. 3.
There were 19,740 wounded and 4,347 missing in action, including four who died in prison camps, 517 who have returned safely to their units, and 107 officially reported captured.

Coast Other Red units put up a stiff fight Tokonch in the east-central mountains, but the South Ko-rain Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth divisions beat off Red counter-attacks and thrust slowly ahead.
U. S. marines skirting the strategic Chosin reservoir ran into the first sizeable Red force in several days. Advance units called for artillery support after exchanging fire with the Communists west of Hagaru.
The U.S. Seventh division, operating east of the marines, expanded its bridgehead across the Ungi and Yuji-ko rivers, 25 miles south of Red Manchuria, to a maximum depth of four miles. Advance units reported Red resistance ranging from "light" to "heavy."
Elsewhere along the line, the Reds continued their unexplained withdrawal northward. The South Korean First division, near the left flank of the line, advanced three miles beyond the Chongchon river to a point northwest of bombed-out Pakchon.
The 27th British commonwealth brigade occupied Pakehon and drove on another 5,000 yards. Units of the U.S. First cavalry and 24th divisions reported gains of two miles.
In the air, B-23 bombers and allied fighters swarmed over the dwindling territory of Communist Korea, but no major attacks were reported. The B-29s dropped surrever leaflets rather than bombs. Fighter patrols that searched Red-held territory found no targets.
The most furious Red attack—and their only successful one of the day—was launched along the road from Russia. Troops reinforced by a Korean marine training battalion that landed behind communist lines near Red-held Chongjin forced the capitol division back to a point six to eight miles northeast of Myongchon, about 95 miles from Soviet Siberia.
Mindzenty Ailing; Might Be Freed
Vienna, Austria, Nov. 16—(U.P.) Joseph Cardinal Mindenty, ailing Catholic primate of Hungary, may be released from prison because the Hungarian Communist regime does not want him to die in jail.
But the source here said that his physical condition had deteriorated "alarmingly" and that the prelate spent more time in hospitals than in prison.
He added that Hungarian deputy premier Matyas Rakosi "is reported willing to release the Cardinal once he is sure Mindzenty will not recover from his grave illness."
Private Sources Aid KU Through Endowment Association
By MARION KLIEWER
The University doesn't get all its money from the state.
In 1949, for example, it got more than $330,000 from investment income, gifts, and bequests. And it will get even more this year, according to Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the University of Kansas Endowment association.
The association is a fund-raising arm of the University, although it is a separate corporation. Its job is to solicit gifts and bequests from private sources.
It's doing a good job, too. Mr. Youngberg said that the University endowment "compares very favorably with that of other Big Seven schools."
When the University was founded, there was no endowment association. The founders had expected a "University fund" to be the main support of the school. However, the needs of the growing University soon outgrew the fund.
The association dates back to 1891 and a gift that couldn't be made.
In 1891 came what would have
been the first bequest to the University, were it not for a quirk in the Kansas constitution. In that year Governor Farmar, Charles Robinson presented a 1,290-acre tract of land three miles northeast of Lawrence to the University. He stipulated that it be sold and the proceeds used to construct a medical sciences building.
Under the terms of the Kansas constitution it was ruled that the sale could not be made. The bequest thus became a gift to the people of the state and not to the University.
To prevent such an occurrence in the future, a group of interested friends and alumni of the University
secured a state charter for the K.U. Endowment association on July 11, 1893. The association was authorized to receive gifts and bequests to aid the University and to use them in accordance with the wishes of the donors.
The idea of giving gifts to a state educational institution was not widespread around the turn of the century and the activities of the association were rather limited for the first 25 years.
The association began to grow in 1920 when Dean Olin Templell took it over. Dean Templell had been at the University since 1880 when he was a student. In 1920 he retired as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and began working with the endowment association.
The story of the Endowment association from 1920 to 1943 is essentially Dean Templein's story. On July 29, 1920, a special meeting of the board of trustees was held and new
trustees were elected. They included Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley, Irving Hill, Lawrence banker and paper manufacturer; Thornton Cooke, Kansas City, Mo., banker; and William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, Mr. Hill and Mr. Cooke have been trustees since that time.
Dean Templin saw great possibilities for the development of he association and its services for the University. Under his leadership funds were solicited for advertising the work of the association and for appealing for endowments. Until 1829 he served as executive secretary without pay.
By 1929, the work of the association had increased enough to employ an office secretary and most of Dean Templin's official time. In that year, Solon E. Summerfield established the Summerfield scholarships.
Around 1980 the executive secretary of the association became
a full time job. The activities of the association increased to the extent that the secretary was one of the key administrators on the campus.
Here's how the association is organized. It has a board of 35 trustees which includes the chancellor, the governor of Kansas, the chief justice of the supreme court, and the president of the alumni association as ex officio members.
Other trustees are chosen by the members of the group as vacancies occur. Although the association has a legal identity apart from the University, in practice it is very much a part of it.
the trustees meet every year at commencement time. Between meetings its authority and duties are delegated to the executive committee of the four officers of the association, the chancellor, and four elected from the group of trustees. The executive secretary is the only paid officer.
