Organized Crime Now In Kansas Says Anderson
"Organized crime exists now in Kansas," Kenneth Anderson, Democratic candidate for governor, told an audience of 1200 persons last night at a Democratic rally in the Community building.
Anderson charged that "organized crime and professional gambling has existed in Sedgwick county during the past ten years under the machine-controlled state administration."
"Some of these gangsters," Anderson said, "were so sure of their safety from prosecution by Kansas law enforcement officers that they claimed credit as deductions for tax purposes for thousands of dollars paid for 'protection.'"
Short speeches were given by Paul Aiken, candidate for United States senator; Milt Sullivant, candidate for 2nd district congressman; Richard Collins, candidate for state treasurer; Lary Ryan candidate for secretary of state; Floyd Breeding, candidate for lieutenant governor; Lawrence Crane, candidate for commissioner of insurance; and Dorothy Miller, candidate for superintendent of public instruction.
About 100 K. U. Young Democrats and 30 Young Democrats from Baker University at Baldwin attended the rally.
Entertainment and dance music were furnished by a group of entertainers from radio station WIBW, Topeka. They were Chuck Wayne, the Micolis sisters, Bill Kirk, Clark Wayne, and Shepherd of the Hills
The rally was sponsored by the Douglas County Democratic central committee.

Discarded Tickets To Union Fund
The Student Union bookstore committee has $1,500 and doesn't know what to do with it. Every year the committee uses the money from discarded rebate tickets found in the bookstore to buy something useful for the Union building.
This year, the committee isn't sure what will be the most needed. It believes if the new additions to the building are built there will be many useful things the bookstore can purchase. More radios, new ping tables, and other items will be needed in the new additions.
Mr. L. E. Woolley, bookstore manager, said that the $1,500 is from discarded rebate receipt funds of the past school year and this year. The past year the committee purchased the television set which is in the Union lounge.
Absentee Ballot Board Will Open

Big Freeze Is Expected
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 3 — (U.P.)—For a change, come to Kansas.
It's a great state for weather variety. Take the capital city, Topeka, for instance.
On Monday the mercury zoomed to 91 under a brilliant sun, the hottest Oct. 30th in history by nearly 10 degrees. This morning, $3\frac{1}{2}$ days later, Topeka had 33-degree weather—and snow.
Rounding out the oddity of Kansas' fast-changing weather was the fact that many eastern Kansas communities this morning had snow before arrival of the fall's first frost. However, it won't be far behind.
Hill City Tuesday was the hottest place in the nation, with a 91-degree reading, the temperature early to midday was 28 degrees there—four below freezing.
State weatherman Richard Garrett said there will be a hard freeze in virtually all sections of the state to. The weather now today was a chill 24 at Goodland.
Light precipitation amounts were reported in a number of localities, topped by Wamego's 40 of an inch up to daylight. The light, blowing, wet snow was confined to eastern sectors. Only in a few places was there enough snow to accumulate on the ground. Skies will clear following the end of the snow during the day.
The Dove Will Go On Sale
The Dove, a magazine of liberal opinion, will be on sale Monday, Nov. 6. This is the first time the magazine has appeared since the spring of 1949.

Scholarship Medallion Goes To Ken Miller
An accounting major, Miller has a 2.71 grade point average for 101 credit hours. In three years at K.U. he made 74 hours of "A", 25 of "B" and two of "C."
Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, annually makes the award to the man in the School of Business who has the best average for at least 90 hours of work all done at K.U.
At the same meeting Miller was announced as one of those newly elected to Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary business fraternity. He is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity and he is now the president of the chapter.
Miller received the medallion at a Business School association coffee-forum. Bill Vaughan, "Starbeams" editor for the Kansas City Star, was the speaker of the evening.
Miss Lewis cited examples of women improving conditions in their community and state and said they worked often through such organizations as the American Association of University women, the P.T.A., League of Women voters, and the churches.
Commission members have given a Halloween party for under-privileged Lawrence grade school children and are planning a Thanksgiving basket for a needy Lawrence family. They also have taken a field trip to view social conditions in Lawrence that they might help improve.
YWCA Hears Professor
Laymen can improve social conditions by starting things which may spread despite a small start, Miss Ursula Lewis, associate professor of social work told the Y.W.-C.A. community service commission Thursday.
Has 'Phog' Heard This?
Would you like to learn how to play basketball on horseback, play polo with a broom, and tame a wild horse? If you would, buy a pair of blue jeans, a pair of boots, and enroll in an equitation course at the University.
The course is designed to teach' beginners how to feed, train, breed and ride horses, and "old hands" how to improve their riding.
Gayle Mott, instructor of equitation, said the players get so interested in the game they often forget there is a horse beneath them. He believes this gives them confidence and teaches them to relax. "When they are riding in the field, and come upon hazards the normal horseman would fear, they will probably say, 'heck, I did more dangerous things than that playing basketball at K.U.'" Mr. Mott said.
Basketball on horseback is played on a specially built field, which is larger than a regular basketball court with two automobile tires as goals. The only rule in the game is that a player cannot hold the ball more than 5 seconds.
So far this semester, the class of fifty, which is mostly women, has "broken" four colts. First, a rope is tied to a halter on the colt, and he is lead around a circle by one of the students. After he is used to being led, one of the students puts
The course is open to anyone for one hour credit. It was originated at the University in 1939 by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen and Mr. Mott. Classes are held twice a week at Mott's stables, 1700 West Fourth street.
This week, the equitation classes are starting a riding club that anyone may join. The club will make cross country rides, overnight trips, and hunts on horseback.
Standard riding habit for equitation classes in other schools costs about $75. But, Mott said, K.U. offers the course for experience and not show. The only requirement is a pair of blue jeans and a pair of laced boots.
a saddle on him. When the colt becomes accustomed to the saddle, one of the students rides him. Mr. Mott said there has never been a student casualty in his class.
Broom polo is played with the same rules as regular polo, but the students use brooms instead of mallets.
Allies Build Defense Against Red Attacks
Tokyo, Saturday, Nov. 4—U.P.)—U.S. reinforcements streamed northward through pelting rain today to bolster a new defense line against 13 Communist divisions which have forced the Allies to fall back 10 to 50 miles in North Korea.
Yeh Helps With Technical Paper
Chai Yeh, Professor of electrical engineering, and E. L. Chaffee of the Cruft laboratory at Harvard university are co-authors of an article, "High Frequency Impedence of Low Pressure Gaseous Diodes," published in the October, 1850 issue of the Journal of Applied Physics.
It is a technical paper which expounds a simple theory of the lagging effect of the positive ions in neutralizing the space charge near the cathode of a gaseous diode. The theory was checked experimentally by Whetstone bridge measurements.
Several constants of interest, such as the life span of the positive ion, its transit time, and its effectiveness in neutralizing space charge, can be deduced from these theoretical and experimental investigations.
Dr. Yeh received his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1936; was an active member of the Radio Research Institute of the National Tsing Hua university at Peiping, China, for 10 years, and was appointed chairman of the electrical engineering department of the same university in 1945. He came to the University of Kansas in September, 1948.

> The Allied command was moving up everything in reach to meet the Communist threat. The sudden and menacing turn in the fortunes of war already had shattered all hope for an early end of the fighting.
The sorest spot was the Unsan sector in northwest Korea. In that area massed Chinese Communist and North Korean troops had battered the U.S. 1st cavalry division and four South Korean divisions. Some 40,000 to 50,000 Communists were massed in that sector alone, and military quarters feared they were readying another pile-driver assault.
There was speculation in some quarters that the Allies might have to fall back to Pyongyang, 100 miles southeast of the Manchurian border and nearly 50 miles behind the present front.
One American and three South Korean divisions retreated for the third straight day today under the impact of massed Communist tanks and infantry. The U.S. 2nd division was thrown into line to help stem the enemy advance. It was the third American division committed on this front.
Nearly 500 troops of a lost 1st cavalry division battalion surrounded by the Communists near Unsan filtered back through enemy lines to safety during last night after abandoning their heavy weapons and vehicles.
A 1st cavalry regiment tried in vain today to break through to the 500 men still unaccounted for, but was stopped by a stone wall Communist defense. Later a U.S. 1st corps spokesman wrote off the missing men. He said he believed they all had been killed or captured.
A spokesman for Gen. Douglas MacArthur candidly described the northwest front situation as "serious, but not critical."
But even more setbacks may be in prospect.
A U.S. 1st corps spokesman in Korea said there were signs that Chinese troops are trying to slip around the right flank of the northwest front and cut back to the west coast just north of Pyongyang.
This would cut off the bulk of the United Nations armies in northwest Korea from supplies and reinforcement except by sea.
He also disclosed that Chinese forces may have penetrated deeply into north-central Korea between the embattled northwest and north-east front. If the Reds did send troops down through the unguarded mountainous terrain, they would be in a position to strike toward either coast.
New Night Course Offered On ECG
An evening lecture course in the fundamentals of electrocardiographic interpretation is to be offered by Prof. Kenneth E. Jochim, chairman of the physiology department. The course will begin Tuesday, Nov. 7.
