Local Democrats Present Eight Point Platform
The campaigning committee of the Democratic party in Lawrence announced an eight-point plank concerning current local issues at the conclusion of a planning session Monday.
Foreign Aid Gains Support
Washington, March 28 —(U.P.) House Democratic leaders said today a new poll showed added support for the administration's $3,375,000,000 foreign aid bill.
They made the cheek as the house prepared to vote on amendments to the omnibus bill. They said the results were "fairly optimistic."
Republican economy advocates were equally certain they could trim authorized spending by around 200,000,000. It was agreed at a G.O. P. policy committee meeting that this should be their main objective.
A showdown on this issue was possible late today. But a growing pile of amendments requiring consideration indicated final action on the bill itself was not likely for another day or two.
The administration "package" calls for $3,100,000,000 for third-round Marshall plan spending; $35,000,000 as a start on President Truman's "point four" program to aid backward areas; $100,000,000 in aid for Korea, and $27,450,000 for aid to Palestine refugees.
On the basis of their latest check, the leadership figured to scuttle a GOP-backed "food for dollars" amendment to the Marshall plan section. They were "more hopeful than before" of winning house approval for the full cash amount requested by President Truman.
Democratic chieftains said they believed the house also would approve the clause authorizing a start on the "point four" program.
Maloney, Simpson To Speak At Clinic
James O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering, and William M. Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering, will speak at the Coffeyville schools Wednesday. They will speak in conjunction with the annual "Career Week" clinic held for high school students there.
Maloney Replaces Sigma Xi Speaker
Kenneth S. Pitzer, division director of research for the Atomic Energy commission, has notified University officials that he will be unable to speak in the "Atomic Energy and Man" lecture series Thursday.
N. W. Storer, program chairman for Sigma Xi, the organization sponsoring the series, said that J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering, will replace Dr. Pitzer as speaker.
Dr. Pitzer explained that the date of his division's budget hearing by S. senate committee had caused the conflict in dates.
Loa Cabin Court Is Rebuilt
Prescott, Ariz.—(U.P.)-Back in the days before Arizona was a state, the first territorial supreme court was housed here in a log cabin known as Fort Miser. The building has been restored and now stands on the Sharlot Hall museum grounds. The ancient cabin is bare, however, and museum curators are searching for old letters, documents, lawbooks and furniture to make the restoration complete.
Girl Shooters Hit Bulls-eve
Durham, N. H.-U.(P.U)-University of New Hampshire co-eds who claim women are the equal of men almost proved it with rifles. The women's rifle team lost a match to the varsity riflemen by the narrow margin of 490 to 486.

The points deal with law enforcement, traffic and parking problems, city improvements, and financial problems. The group took no stand on the city manager referendum, to be voted on at the same election Tuesday. April 4.
The specific points of the platform are:
1. Treat all classes, professions, and individuals uniformly and impartially in the enforcement of traffic and parking rules.
2. To continue the rigid enforcement of anti-gambling and beer controlling ordinances.
3. To continue the repair and improvement of city streets as rapidly as the financial resources of the city permit, giving special attention to those streets in bad condition which carry heavy traffic.
4. To seek a solution to the downtown parking problems which make those who benefit pay a fair part of the cost.
5. To push the development of through-traffic by-passes to relieve bottlenecks.
6. To continue to promote active competitive bidding on contracts in order to protect the city's pocket-book.
7. To push for the annexation of areas which receive expensive municipal services and advantages without paying a fair portion of city taxes.
8. Lawrence citizens should not bear the entire burden of expensive municipal sewer, street, and fire services for the University and Haskell Institute. We will ask for legislative appropriations from the state and the federal government as partial payment in the place of taxes for the support of these municipal services.
Motorist's Jinks From Bad To Worse
Fort Worth, Tex.—(U,P)—Troubles of a Fort Worth motorist went from bad to worse, after a poor beginning.
First, he was ticketed for speeding and driving without an operator's license. When he didn't appear in court, officers brought him in. He paid $18 of a $35 fine and promised to return with the remainder.
The judge promised "a nice long talk" with the motorist.
Then Judge Wesley Kinser got a call from the motorist's irabre companion complaining bitterly that "he sneak-ouse and pawned it to pay his fine."
Grasshoppers Are Costly Delicacy
Atlanta—U (P,) —Word from the War Claims commission that he will receive $1 per day for rations missed during the time he was a prisoner of war brought back unsavory memories to Sgt. Hoke H. Knaicad.
"I particularly didn't like the grasshoppers," Kincaid added. "Their legs cut my mouth."
GOP Attacks Acheson Again
Sergeant Kincaid said the $1,250 wouldn't begin to compensate for the 1,250 days he spent in a Japanese internment camp, dining on grasshoppers, snails and worms.
Washington, March 28—(U.P.)-The Republican offensive against Secretary of State Dean Acheson was under full steam today. Democrats countered that the attacks give Communist propagandists "a field day."
The drive was kicked off in earnest Monday by Sen. Styles Bridges, (R.N.H.), who charged that a Russian officer overhailed his way into the state department.
In a free-swinging senate speech, Bridges said Acheson should be summoned before a congressional committee to account for the "wreckage" of U.S. foreign policy in Europe and Asia.
"The department of state has fallen into a condition of degradation unparalleled in the nation's history," he said.
"Stalin is not superman. He had help from inside our ranks."
Bridges ticked off the espionage cases involving former state department officials Alger Hiss and Henry Julian Wadleigh and said these men could not have attained their positions without help. That help, he said, must have come from a soviet "master spy."
"... Unless and until we find that master spy—we cannot hope to deal with Stalin on an equal basis," he said.
Democrats swarmed to Acheson's defense. They urged the Republicans to call off the attack lest the United States become a house divided against itself."
"In my opinion," he said, "the charges of the junior senator from Wisconsin have done grave damage to the international interests of this nation. His reckless accusations of disloyalty have impaired the structure of our world relationships."
Sen. Estes Kefauver, (D. Tenn.) centered his counterattack on charges by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R. Wis.), that there are at least 57 card-carrying communists in the state department.
Kefauer said the "communist word-mill" will capitalize on McCarthy's claim. Red propagandists, he said, now can depict Americans as "dupes and lack-wits who have not the rudimentary intelligence to keep the stogues of a hostile system out of positions of influence in the government."
AAUP Will Oppose Firing Of Teachers
Cleveland, O.,—(U.P.)The American Association of University Professors voted unanimously Sunday to oppose firing of any college teacher solely on the grounds of membership in "an unlawful political party or organization."
The 250 professor-delegates of the organization concluded their two-day convention here with another resolution opposing compulsory loyalty oaths for teachers and students. A third resolution opposed FBI checks of persons tapped for scholarships to a proposed national science foundation. All the resolutions were voted unanimously without debate.
The campanile will hold a carillon of 50 bells ranging in size from 7 tons to 12 pounds.
