Frank Carlson Seeks Election To US Senate
Topcka, Feb. 8.—(U.P.)-Gov. Frank Carlson, always a winner in past campaigns, today launched his biggest political bid-for the United States senate.
The 57-year-old chief executive made the Republican race for the senatorial nomination a two-man affair. He opposes Harry Colmery, Topeka attorney and onetime national commander of the American Legion.
The two-term chief executive's long-awaited formal announcement said: "I shall always oppose extravagant governmental expenditures and deficit spending. I shall oppose the kind of government which is turning more and more toward the socialistic pattern of federal domination over every phase of our every-day life."
The senate seat being sought is that now held by Sen. Harry Darby of Kansas City, appointed by Carlson last fall following the death of Sen. Clyde M. Reed. Darby has stated publicly he will not ask to remain in office.
Son of Swedish immigrants, the Concordia farmer-stockman successively made successful bids for the state legislature, for congress where he served six terms, and for the governorship of his native state, serving two terms.
The big, husky governor, an eager campaigner, said separate headquarters will be established in Topeka soon, adding "Tm not going to campaign from the governor's office." He said he was not ready to name his manager.
A member of the G.O.P. national policy committee, Carlson is chairman of the U.S. governor's conference and head of the council of state governments. He is a past chairman of the interstate oil compact.
Governor Carlson's declaration included these statements:
"If we are to prosper in Kansas and in the nation we must look to a balanced economy of agriculture labor, business and industry. Especially here in Kansas I think we must remember that our anchor of agriculture must not slip. Our farmers are seeking equity, not advantage.
"My own farm background and experience gives me actual knowledge of our great agricultural problems and the need for the proper economic balance.
"Here in Kansas we ourselves have embarked on a progressive but common sense program—a program based on a new concept of service. I take pride in our great Republican program—in what we are doing on our highways, for our schools, for our sick and afflicted in our hospitals, for our needy and aged citizens, for our public health, for our permanent buildings at our schools and state institutions.
"All of this great program is being done in the way—prudently—not extravagant, with balances—not deficits, with black ink—not red."
Festival Chorus Closes Today

Rebates May Be Whittled
Some K.U. veterans may be disappointed in the size of their National Service Life Insurance refund checks, according to a report from the regional office of the Veterans administration in Kansas City. Approximately $650,000 in government overpayments to World War II veterans living in northeastern Kansas and western Missouri will be deducted from this dividend.
Records show that as of December 31, 1949, overpayments to 6,511 veterans amounted to $494,040. This represented overpayments in subsistence, compensation, readjustment allowances and G.I. loan defaults, the Veterans administration said.
Veterans who receive NSLI checks from which previous over-payments have been deducted are advised that the finance division of the regional office will refund any excess deduction.
The refund of overdeductions will be made automatically as soon as advice regarding the amounts deducted from each individual check is received by the regional V.A. office from Washington.
Walter Brown Attacks Eagle In Council Debate Of Paper
Bv JOHN CORPORON
The Eagle, a student conservative publication, was called "degenerate and irrational" by Walter Brown, Independent Student association representative, at a meeting of the All Student Council Tuesday.
Alpha Phi Omega Requests 45 Students Claim Articles
Pair To Play Chamber Music
Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Ralph Kirkpatrick, harpsichordist, will present the third concert in the University Chamber music series at 8 p.m. Thursday in Strong auditorium.
Some of the articles which the fraternity now has have the following names written on them:
Ann Bonecutter, A.D. Burnham,
June Caldwell, Al Campbell.
H. Milor Childers, Fred Cox, Glenn Joyce Davis, Eugene Doane, Jean Embree, Grace Dendacott, Ira Kenneth Evans, Sue Foot, Glenn W.
Forty-five University students have lost articles in which their names are written and which have been turned in to the lost and found service in the Up.
Sonatas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach are scheduled for the program, including the six by Mr. Bach written with obligato harpichord parts.
Mr. Mozart's sonatas, written during the infant days of the piano, and as the harpsichord was waning in favor, are seldom heard in their original form. However, modern composers have again turned to the harpsichord as a medium of expression, and this music assumes greater importance to the followers of chamber music.
Mr. Schneider and Mr. Kirkpatrick first met in 1941, and have been appearing together professionally since 1944. At the time of their meeting, Mr. Schneider was playing with the Albenieri. Mr. Schneider organized the Albeneri trio which is scheduled to appear at the University April 4, and 5.
Alpha Phi Omega, service eternity, operates the lost and sound service on the second floor of the Union. The office is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students may retrieve their lost articles by properly identifying themselves to the service personnel, Harold Shigley, fraternity president, said.
Mr. Kirkpatrick, who studied in the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship for the study of 17th and 18th century chamber music in 1936.
Residence hall scholarships of $150 each have been awarded to five women and 10 men for the spring semester.

Brown made the charge after noting the Council had supplied funds for publication of the periodical. His motion that the editors of the Eagle be instructed by the Council to improve their publication was defeated by a large majority. A second resolution introduced by Brown stating that the Eagle be required to have two faculty advisers was passed.
"I have read the Eagle," Brown declared. "I was first shocked, then amused, and finally disappointed. I was miserably disappointed for three reasons. First: the tabloid was printed with a high degree of emotionalism nearly void of a semblance of rational thinking. Second: I was never upon the campus of our campus. Third: I was disappointed that the Council supplied the funds to have the Eagle published.
"The Council recognized the need for the publication by granting an appropriation. However, no one at the time anticipated such a degenerate publication," Brown charged. "Consequently, lest the irrationality expressed by the editors of the Eagle be construed by the alumni and friends of the University to be indicative of the general level of the students of the University of Kansas. I hereby move:
"That the editors of the Eagle be instructed to improve their journalism in future issues by leaving out the irrational emotionalism which characterized the first issue. Furthermore, if the Eagle does not submit a budget before the new publication, it should be fined $50."
Douglas Paddock, vice-president, opposed the resolution by declaring the Council had no power of censorship.
"The allegations expressed by Walter Brown is an invasion of freedom of the press," Paddock said. "The Council is not a censorship board. It is not within the scope of its editorial policy to any campus publication, particularly one which expresses political beliefs."
"Whether or not this newspaper the Eagle, is degenerate and irrational depends on the political leanings of the reader. I will not defend the facts or sentiments expressed in the Eagle, but I will back to the fullest the right of this group to publish the news as they see it."
Paddock's opposition was ap proved by a majority of the Council members when the issue was brought to a vote. Brown next moved for the appointment of two faculty members to act as advisers to the Eagle. That Council passed the Robb, Bennett, representative-at-large, this resolution declaring that he doubted if two faculty members could be found at the University who would back the Eagle.
"These professors on the hill would sooner get behind the Communist Manifesto," he declared.

Senior Class Receives $253 From ASC
Appropriations, the Bitter Bird, and salaries were discussed at the All Student Council meeting Tuesday.
The senior class received $253 from the A.S.C. after requesting $460. The request was made to cover debts incurred on class dances since 1946. Louise Lambert, senior class president and Bette Jo Jones, College senior, appeared before the A.S.C. from the senior class.
The A.S.C. granted only $243 because during the period from 1946 to 1948 they were pledged to pay the classes outstanding debts, members of the Council pointed out that beginning with the 1948 school year the Council no longer assumed any of the classes outstanding debts.
Miss Lambert and Miss Jones argued that with commencement fees raised to $12 this year a special assessment on the graduating class might be difficult to raise.
Douglas Paddock, vice-president of the A.S.C. and Donald Giffin, representative at-large, contended that the amount would be so small if divided among the 1,500 seniors that it would be simple to collect. Some members of the Council pointed out that it would be a dangerous precedent if they paid the full amount when it had not been pledged.
Jane Schmidt, College junior, representing Trend, publication of the Quill club, was granted an appropriation of $250. Trend had been unable to meet costs through sales alone, since it carries no advertising.
The controversial humor magazine, Bitter Bird, came under fire at the meeting from Paddock. He reported on the magazine as follows:
"The promoters of Bitter Bird are planning to put out a valentine issue. Certain requirements must be met before the magazine can be sold on the campus. They are as follows: 1. The magazine must contain no liquor advertising but may carry beer advertisements; 2. Three faculty members should accompany the magazine; 3. The editor will submit a financial report to auditing committee of the A.S.C. before the magazine can go on sale."
Paddock said two weeks ago staff members of the Bitter Bird submitted copy of the proposed valentine issue to two faculty members for approval. The faculty members were not aware of the submission and the Bitter Bird until they saw their names on the front page of advance copies of the magazine.
Capt. William R. Terrell, professor of naval science, and Jack Wichert, assistant professor of economics, the faculty members to whom the materials were requested to check the material in "about three hours," stated Paddock.
The Council dropped discussion on the matter pending further developments. Ernest Friesen, A.S.C. president, noted that the Bitter Bird "could not sell on the campus without A.S.C. permission."
A minor amendment was made to the constitution allowing the advertising solicitors on the Student Directory to receive pay for services. Chancellor Deane W. Malott is required to sign the amendment to put it into effect.
Law Student Head Of KU Republicans
Robert Southern, second year law student, and Virginia Brown, fine arts junior, were elected chairman and vice-chairman respectively of the Young Republicans Tuesday.
