Russia Expected To Vote Against Nationalist China
Lake Success, N.Y., Jan. 12—(U.P.) —Russia was expected to walk in and walk back out again today at the meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
Observers believed Soviet Delegate Jacob A. Malik probably would return to the council to vote on his own resolution to unseat the Chinese Nationalist delegation.
But they believed he would resume the Russian boycott of the 11nation council as soon as it votes down his proposal to unseat the Nationalist delegation headed by Dr. Tingfu F. Tsaig, council president for January.
Malik led his delegation from the council chamber Monday after Tsiang, as presiding officer, ruled that the Russian resolution must be "printed and circulated" in the normal way, thereby preventing an immediate vote.
Result of the vote was expected to be an overwhelming defeat for the Russian maneuver, which British Delegate Sir Alexander Cadogan called "premature." Russia could count only her own and Yugoslavia's vote, with the possible addition of India's.
He served notice that the Soviet delegation would not participate in the Security Council until the Nationalists are expelled, and questioned the right of Tsiang to convoke another meeting.
Speculation centered about the future of the Security Council if Malik lives up to his threat to boycott it until the Nationalists are expelled. A spokesman for the United States delegation said there was no legal reason why the council could not continue to transact business in the absence of Russia.
The UN's legal division refused to give an opinion for the guidance of newsmen.
But other observers pointed out that the UN charter requires the unanimous vote of all five permanent members on questions of substance. They held this meant that for the council to take any action of consequence, Russia must be present if only to register an "abstention" from the voting.
It was considered likely that the Security Council would sidestep the issue of legality as long as possible, acting only on procedural matters in which the veto rules do not apply. By coincidence, the next item due for council discussion is transmittal of a general assembly resolution on a world arms census to the conventional armaments commission

"Anything you say will be used against you," the magistrate warned.
against you, the magistrate wanted "Tell me the truth anyway," said Miss Williams. "I have 19 more tickets uptown."
"I think you want to go to jail," said Judge Rothenberg.
"Oh, no," Miss Williams replied solemnly. "I don't want to go to jail. Jail clothes don't look well on you, don't photograph well in them."
“五 dollars on two tickets and
and two dollars on the other,” snort-
ing.
Miss Williams pleaded guilty later in uptown traffic court and was fined a total of $195 for the other 19 tickets.

Hugo T. Wedell, member of the World War II Memorial association turns the first shovelful of earth that marks the beginning of construction of the memorial campanile. About 50 persons attended the ceremony which was held approximately 100 feet north of the Rock Chalk Cairn, overlooking the Memorial Stadium.
Immediately following the ground breaking ceremony a power shovel was moved to the site and began stonerection. The Constant Construction company, Lawrence, will build the basic structure at a cost of slightly more than $160,000. A 50-bell carillon will be installed at the top of the 120 foot structure in about a year. They are being cast by John Taylor and company, Loughborough, England.

KU Band Gives Fine Concert
BY DALE S. ROMIG
Ranging from the standard classics to modern American works, the University's concert band, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, presented a delightful concert Wednesday.
The suite from the "Bartered Bride" by Smetana and "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Moussorgsky were the most satisfying of the classical numbers. However, more than the two "Pictures" (of ten that were written) would have been preferable to all four of the selections which comprised the "Bartered Bride" suite.
Ray Green's "Kentucky Mountain Running Set," vaguely reminiscent of Roy Harris's works, was fun to listen to, and well played. It exists as proof that American composers can write classical music about the American scene as competently as continental composers wrote about their countries in the 19th century
The three soloists who appeared on the program all gave adequate performances. Jeanne Peck, fine arts senior, played the cornet solo in "Concert Etude" by Goedicke.
Philip McCarty performed the valce caprice "Beautiful Colorado" by DeLuca which well displayed his technical skill with the saxophone.
Lois Bradfield, fine arts sophomore, played the first movement (allegro moderato) of Greig's "Piano Concerto in A Minor."
Encouraged by the caller who chanted "Swing you gal from Arkansas" to the tune of "Sally Goodin." members of the Square Dance club danced 12 rounds Wednesday night at the Union.
Square Dancing Popular At Union
Plans for an all-school square and round dance with a cowboy band to be held next semester were discussed at the meeting.
Anyone wanting to learn more about square dancing is invited to attend the meetings, Tom K. Foster, president, said.
Joan Fink, College freshman, called the dances.
The next meeting of the club will be Feb. 8.
Fowler To Talk On Symbolism
"Renaissance Symbolism" will be discussed by Clayton Fowler, assistant professor of drawing and painting, in a lecture at 8:00 p.m. today in the Museum of Art.
The talk, which is one of a series of six lectures being given by Professor Fowler and John Maxon, director of the museum, will conclude Professor Fowler's lectures.
Phone Rates Up In Kansas
Topcka, Jan. 12—(U.P.)—Higher telephone rates were ahead today, starting Feb. 1, for customers of the American Telephone Co. in 64 Kansas towns.
The state corporation commission Wednesday granted rate hikes amounting to $0,747 a year. The companies headquarters at Abilene, asked for $102,000.
Granted because of increased operating expenses, and because of a higher minimum wage rate which will go into effect Jan. 25, the boosted service charges are of temporary nature.
Jeff Robertson, commission chairman, said they will remain effective pending determination by the state regulatory agency of permanent rate schedules for the company.

Dogs Are Not So Friendly
Boston (U.R.) — Man's best friend?
State health department statistics show that approximately 10,000 Massachusetts residents are bitten by dogs each year.
Pharmacy Union Benefits Told
The K.U. branch of the American Pharmaceutical association invited the speaker in order to gain an understanding of the benefits of the union system. Because of increasing numbers of pharmacists being graduated from colleges, there is likelihood, members feel, that labor unions in pharmacy will ultimately be established in Kansas.
"Labor Unions in Pharmacy" was the subject of a talk given by K.H. Herrington, executive business manager of the Retail Clerk's union of Kansas City, Mo. He spoke to more than 100 students at a meeting of American Pharmaceutical association in Bailey Chemical laboratory Tuesday.
Mr. Herrington discussed employee problems and listed ways in which his union brings benefits to its members. He said the Retail Clerk's union has a democratic system. It sets minimum wage scales and provides shorter working hours. Under its regulations every unionized drug store will have a registered pharmacist.
The ten members of the Kansas State Board of Pharmacy were present at the meeting. Mrs. Clara Miller of Topeka, secretary of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association, was among those present.
In the discussion period following the speech, Sam Archer of Wichita, a state board member, said that Kansas pharmacy rates well above average in comparison with other states. Wage scales are higher. Mr. Herrington added that he felt unions have no place in Kansas at the present time.
Speech Therapy Seminar To Hear Guest Speaker
A speech therapy seminar will be held at 4 p.m. today at the home of Miss Julia Fox, 1000 Ohio.
Miss Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech, said that speakers will be Mrs. Leola Horowitz, instructor in speech, and Mrs. Miriam Levitt, a specialist from the hearing clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Levitt will give a report on the national meeting of the American Speech and Hearing association held in Chicago the last week in December.
Truman, Military May Air Issue On China Today
Washington, Jan. 12—(U.P.) a showdown on China between President Truman and his military high command was in the making today.
Neither the president nor his military advisers wanted it but a solid Republican bloc led by Sens. Arthur H. Vandenberg, (Mich.) and Rob. Browder, (Calif.), appeared head of sufficient Democratic support to force the issue.
Usually in opposing corners on foreign policy, the G.O.P.'s two big guns in congress have joined in demand that congress summons U.S. military leaders for an explanation of their reported objections to President Truman's 'hands-off' Formosa policy.
Vandenberg and Taft believe Congress should require Defense Secretary Louis Johnson and the chiefs of staff to explain that Mr. Truman overruled them in refusing to send military aid to China's Nationalist government to defend Formosa.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson may amplify the administration's policy in an off-the-cuff speech before the National Press Club (1:30 p.m., E.S.T.). Mr. Truman may comment at his (4 p.m.) news conference.
The showdown may come soon. Chairman Tom Connally, (D., Tex.) of the Senate foreign relations committee conceded that the Republicans might have sufficient votes to force a congressional airing; a public hearing probably is inevitable because the military leaders will have to testify before congress on the foreign aid and defense programs.
Defense officials have accepted Mr. Truman's decision. But military authorities are known to feel that Mr. Truman has undergone Formosa's strategic importance.
an up-to-the minute survey shows, that U.S. forces there now consist of 127,000 troops, including four combat divisions and some national combat teams, based in Japan under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. A western Pacific naval force of one aircraft carrier (actually en route to the area) with 90 planes aboard; two cruisers; ten destroyers and supporting vessels, and an air force strength of 450 fighters, 70 B-29s, 50-medium bombers and 36 troop carrier planes, based mainly on Japan and Okinawa.
A responsible official gave a reporter this summation of the militarv's position in the dispute:
Missouri wild life will be discussed Thursday when the Snow Zoologic club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in 206 Snow. Maurice Baker, employee of the Missouri Conservation commission and now on leave of absence, will give a short talk and comment on the two films to be shown, "The Prairie Chicken in Missouri Schwartz" and "Wolf Medicine" describing the state's methods of controlling coyotes.
The island, lying 100 miles off the China coast, has no value to this country as a base for offensive operations. But its retention in friendly hands is important to the United States because of its proximity to the Japan-Okinawa-Philippine defense chain. The joint chiefs would oppose any military occupation of the island by U.S. ground, naval or air force, but the chiefs told Mr. Truman that limited U.S. arms aid and the presence of a military mission would bolster Nationalist morale and prestige, and perhaps prevent Formosa's fall to the Communists.
There was one belief in official quarters that congressional proponents of a stronger U.S. stand are unaware—or prefer to ignore—that such action would require immediate strengthening of U.S. forces in the Far East—and money to do it with.
