Chinese Create Problem With Illegal Voting
Manila, — (U.P.) — Approximately 80,000 Chinese are residing illegally in the Philippines today and are giving the government a headache.
About 120,000 legally registered Chinese are in this country but Philippine army intelligence estimates the actual number of Chinese at 200,000. Unofficial estimates have placed the number as high as 300,-000.
This has aggravated the little republic's own Red menace to some extent but in the years of what happened in the fury future, what has happened already.
The problem of Chinese in the Philippines goes back as far as island history. Until recently, it has been largely an economic problem because the Chinese have dominated many lines of trade. Now it is also a political consideration.
Filipino officials say many Chinese Communists have infiltrated the Philippines since the civil war began in China.
Among the Chinese whom the Philippine government wants to deport to Formosa are about 4,000 who came here since World War II as "temporary visitors." They do not want to go back to China because the Chinese Communists have in many cases taken over their homes.
There is a smaller number of Chinese who came here on transit visas and remained in the Philippines.
Jose P. Bengzon, under secretary of justice and acting commissioner of immigration, said the government Chinese to Taipei on Philippine naval patrol ships. However, some is planning to deport the "illegal" of the Chinese are using every legal and political means available to prevent their deportation, and others are hiding.
It will be an admittedly tough job to get rid of them.
When asked how so many Chinese got into this country illegally, Bengzon referred to a chapter of 17th century Philippine history. He said that in the Chinese revolt of 1603, more than 18,000 Chinese rose against the Spaniards when there were supposed to be only 4,000 Chinese in the country.
Bengzon said the "ruling classes" of that time were blamed for the illegal immigration of Chinese. He refused to say whether that situation has a parallel today.
Magazine Prints Reston's KU Talk
The substance of the first William Allen White foundation lecture, given Feb. 10 by James B. Reston, diplomatic correspondent of the New York Times, is reprinted this month in the Atlantic Monthly magazine.
Mr. Reston, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for national correspondence in 1945, spoke at the University about the conflict between officials and reporters in Washington. He said that too much national policy is fully formed nowadays before the press and public are told the facts.
Mr. Reston's speech is reprinted under the title "Secrecy and the Reporter" in the April issue of the magazine.
Hospital Dedication Attended By Murphy
Dr. Franklin P. Murphy, dean of the School of Medicine, spoke at the dedication of the Grisell Memorial hospital in Ransom Monday.
The new health center is a $30,000 expansion of a small hospital building built for the community by the late Dr. W. S. Grisell.
Dr. Kenneth McLain, a graduate of the School of Medicine, has taken over the duties of Dr. Grisell after Ransom, a town of approximately 400 persons, was without a doctor for several years.
Spring Means Canes To Lawyers
Bv JOHN A. BANNIGAN
Spring is here and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of . . . canes! That's true, of course, only if the young man is a K.U. law student.
Canes are a tradition with the law-@
Canes are a tradition with the lawers but no one in this year's senior class seems to know the exact year of the tradition's origin. The only hint at the time of the birth of this cane-carrying custom is that Professor Henry C. Hill introduced the custom in 1910. He brought it from eastern schools where it was a well-established tradition. Any further back than that it is anybody's guess as to the origin of the custom.
There was a time when the lawyers also wore berries and white gloves, but this year's class has settled for canes, both plain and fancy. A survey of the sticks reveals canes made of yucca wood, mahogony, and thorn wood. Some are ornate, with elaborate carvings and the owner's name engraved on them. Others are plain and simple with their only attempt at splendor being a small metal knob or tip.
31 Chosen As Finalists
Thirty-one senior boys from 20 Kansas high schools have been selected as finalists in the annual competition for Summerfield scholarships at the University.
The 31 finalists were chosen from 245 candidates who took preliminary examinations. They will come to K.U. on Monday and Tuesday, April 3 and 4, for further testing and personal interviews. Between 10 and 12 will be named Summerfield scholars.
An annual $20,000 gift from the estate of the late Solon E. Summerfield assures scholarship holders sufficient financial assistance, above personal resources, to complete a four-year course at the University. In return they must maintain high standards of scholarship.
Music, Sports Go Together
Belmont, Mass., — (U,P) — Musical and athletic ability may go together, says Morris R. Burroughs, a music teacher.
He cited the crews of Tony Laverli, a basketball player, and Otto Graham, football star, who are promising musicians.
He added that the junior varsity football team which he coaches at Belmont Hill School hasn't lost a game in two years.
Firemen Wait For Fire
Williamstown, Mass.—(U.P.)-Firemen set some sort of record when they reached the scene of a fire before the fire itself got there.
The firemen were waiting at the railroad station when a freight train arrived with a blazing box car.
Aaron Wilson Jr., 3rd year law, has a cane he picked up in Mexico. It is decorated with carved figures and designs. Another student carries a cane he bought in Topeka in a second-hand store. Made of cactus wood, the cane has a leather head and is intricately carved to give a lattice-like appearance. These are but a few of the many odd and ingenious walking-sticks which law students feel "the well-dressed lawyer should carry."
The fire had been noticed by a resident of Hoosick Falls, N. Y., 206 miles back on the train's route, and railroad officials telephoned ahead to give the alarm.
The flags on top of Fraser hall have an average life span of six months.
Wash Your Teeth?
This May Help You
Stillwater, Okla—(U.P)—A Stillwater firm is marketing a device designed to end all family squabbles about how toothpaste tubes should be squeezed.
It fits around a toothpaste tube and squeezes it evenly with rollers, starting from the bottom. The user operates the rollers by turning a small handle.
The invention also is guaranteed to get every bit of paste out of the tube. It was designed by Leonard Whitson, an electric meter tester for the city of Stillwater.
Foresters Plant Super Fir Trees
Shelton. Wash.—(U,P)-Certified seed which forest industries hope is the forerunner of a super-race of Douglas fir trees is being distributed in the Puget Sound country.
The seed is extracted from vigorous, healthy cones of well-formed trees by a new $10,000 all-electric extractory plant here. The plant, in its first six months of operation, has produced 2,500 pounds of seed, enough under perfect conditions to produce 100,000 trees.
Cones are shipped to the local plant from all parts of western Washington and Oregon. Timber companies expect almost to eliminate the possibility of propagating runt trees and weaklings in the reforestation program.

BELL'S
Cane-carrying is not compulsory, said Paul W. Nye, president of the senior class, but most of the seniors have become devoted to their sticks and "would feel lost without them."
The lawyer clings to his cane as the engineer does to his slide rule and the only time they are separated from their walking-sticks is at bedtime. In the classroom, canes are hung on the backs of the chairs.
Do the sticks have a practical vale? Definitely! They came in handy for tapping cadence to the footsteps of passing femininity. However, to forestal jessus gossip, the lawyers say, "No, we don't use the handles to hook the girls—a lawyer can do that with a look and a smile."
