Former Russian Prime Minister To Speak Here
Alexander Kerensky, former prime minister of Russia, will speak at a special convocation at 4 p.m. Monday. Oct. 23. in Fraser theater.
Mr. Kerensky will speak on "The Possibility of Peace Between the United States and Russia."
In March, 1917, Mr. Kerensky was a leader in the revolution that overthrew the Czar, and rose rapidly in the provisional government. Only 35 he became minister of justice and then was made minister of war. In July of that year he succeeded Prince Lvov as prime minister and began to organize Russia as a republic.
Lenin's Communists, however, disapproved of the Kerensky governments' moderate policies. In November, 1917, the Bolsheviks carried out a successful revolution. Mr. Kerensky fled to Paris, where he became editor of the newspaper "Dni."
In 1940 he came to the United States. Here he has been leader of a group of anti-Communist Russians, and has become well known as a writer and lecturer. His articles have appeared in several publications, including the Reader's Digest and the American magazine.
Mr. Kerenksy is a "fugitive from justice" by Soviet decree, and has been granted a permanent visa by the United States.
Senior Pictures Due Oct.23
College seniors must have their senior pictures taken by 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 23, to have them appear in the Jayhawker.

UN Discusses Peace Patrol
Lake Success, N. Y., Oct. 19.—(U.P.)
The Western Powers met today to decide whether the Big Five should be included in the committee-approved United Nations "Peace Patrol."
An historic proposal for emergency action against aggressors was approved by the UN General Assembly's powerful political committee yesterday in a section-by-section vote.
The proposal needed only an overall vote on its entirely before it is sent to the General Assembly for final approval probably early next week. But before the final committee vote is taken, the composition of a 14-Nation commission, established in the resolution, must be decided.
Stage Reading Laboratory Play To Open Oct.24
Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky demanded that the five permanent members of the Security Council, with the Peiping Communist government representing China, be included on the roving commission which would observe areas where international tension threatens to erupt into war.
The second presentation by the University Players' Laboratory theater will be a stage-reading and one-act play to be given from Tuesday, Oct. 24, through Thursday, Oct. 27, in the little theater of Green Hall
The staged reading will be "The Dear Departed" a comedy by Stanley Houghton, directed by Mrs. Daniel Palmquist."Romance of the Willow Pattern," a Chinese drama, by Ethel Van der Beer, will be the one-act play. Director of the play will be Mary Beth Moore, College sophomore.
Thomas Shay, instructor in speech and director of the theater, explained that in a staged reading the characters sit around a table reading lines from the play, while a narrator reads the stage business.
"We are using this reading to have variety in our program. There haven't been many stage readings done at the University, but the few that have been given were well received," he said.
Although the "lab" program was scheduled to last four nights from Tuesday to Friday, the schedule was changed to three performances because of the exhibition basketball game and Jayhawk Follies that will be held Friday.
Casts for the two shows have not been announced.
GOP Leaders Confused About Wake Meeting
Kefauver Finds Crime Alliance
Washington, Oct. 19—(U.P.)-Republicans were divided—and bewildered—today about just what agreement, if any, President Truman and Gen. Douglas MacArthur reached on Formosa during their Wake island meeting.
Chicago, Oct. 19- (U.P.)—Sen. Estes Kefauver says his Senate crime investigating committee is gradually exposing the operations of an organized crime network.
"We have found the links connecting organized crime across the country," the Tennessee Democrat said after concluding a two-day closed hearing here last night.
"We have found the groups that have allied with other groups in nationwide crime," he said. "We have found some of the race wire services that stand behind this."
The committee chairman said information obtained at two secret hearings in Chicago fitted into a general pattern established in investigations in New York, Philadelphia, Miami and Kansas City.
Kefauver said the inquiry into activities of former Capone mobsters showed that some racketeers have "gone into legitimate business," where they are using the power and weight of other, unlawful practices.

Some felt that Mr. Truman ignored Gen. MacArthur's well-known opinion that Formosa is essential to U.S. security. A few said Gen MacArthur apparently won over the President to his point of view.
Most G.O.P. law-makers demanded that Mr. Truman clear up the mystery right away.
High government officials said Wednesday that the President and Gen. MacArthur were in complete agreement on Formosa. They indicated that Mr. Truman convinced the General of the wisdom of continued neutrality about the island.
But a Tokyo dispatch quoted "sources which are fully informed" as saying that "No specific policy discussions whatsoever were held at Wake Island."
Sen. William F. Knowland, R., Calif., a long-time critic of U.S. China policy, questioned the accuracy of the version given by the government officials.
"As a member of the Senate Armed Services committee," he said in a statement, "I demand that, in fairness to the American people and General MacArthur, the full text of the anonymous press conference notes be cabled to MacArthur in Tokvo.
"We should have the facts from the participants rather than thru second-hand leaks by officials who accompanied the President but did not sit in on the Truman-MacArthur private meeting. These partial facts may or may not express accurately the understanding, if any, relative to Formosa reached at Wake Island."
Republicans here are deeply concerned about the issue and many G.O.P. candidates have made the administration's "hands off" policy their number one campaign issue. They have bitterly assailed the State department's determination to leave Formosa's future up to the United Nations.
Large Search For Two Jets
Washington, Oct. 19 — (U.R.) A squadron of 50 planes and helicopters planned to take off today in a two-state search for some trace of the two Jet Fighters that disappeared mysteriously on a routine flight early yesterday.
A dense fog, which closed in on Washington during the night, threatened to hamper operations.
A third Jet crash-landed at Aden, Va., about 35 miles southwest of Washington. The injured pilot, 2nd Lt. Luther C. Barcus, Jr., of Spring Lake, N. J., told Air Force authorities his two companions crashed into the Potomac river or some other nearby body of water.
