UN To Consider Last Issue Of Current Session
Flushing, N. Y., Dec. 9—(U.P.)-The United Nations general assembly faced the last issue of its current session today on the question of internationalizing Jerusalem.
The assembly's special political committee voted 35-13, on Tuesday, to recommend strict internationalization of the entire holy city, despite dire warnings from both Israel and Jordan, whose troops hold the town of 250,000 persons, that the plan will not work.
There was intensive lobbying as lines were drawn for a parliamentary skirmish. The United States was reported in the fore-
as lines were drawn for a parliamentary skirmish. The United States was reported in the forefront of the campaign, attempting to convince enough delegates to change their votes so that the required two-thirds majority vote could not be reached.
Competent observers expected the question to be thrown wide open by reintroduction in the assembly of a plan, defeated in committee, to internationalize only the holy places of three faiths under a high commissioner. Many believ- positions in the assembly would journ—probably shortly after noon on Saturday—without taking action on Jerusalem.
Despite the prospect of this somewhat baleful ending, the fourth general assembly reckoned several major accomplishments.
Top development of the 11-week session, which began Sept. 20, was the election of Yugoslavia to the security council in opposition to Russia's candidate, Czechoslovakia. Supported by the United States, Marshal Tito's government on the ground in an election against the Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Y, Vishinsky immediately announced the Soviet Union would not recognize. The showdown was expected when Yugoslavia takes its council seat in January.
Not far behind, in public interest, were the charges brought by China against Russia for the Kremlin's help to the Chinese Reds.
Diabetes Tests Deadline Dec.11
Faculty members and employees of the University who wish to be checked for diabetes should report to Watkins Memorial hospital for a test before Sunday, Dec. 11. This is part of the diabetes detection drive which is to be conducted throughout the country by the Douglas County Medical society in cooperation with the American diabetic association.
"Specimens will be taken at Watkins hospital the first thing in the morning or from two to three hours after a full meal," said Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service.
Tests for diabetes will be made free of charge by any physician who is a member of the Douglas County Medical society. Only sugar will be tested for, and only positive tests will be reported to the individual.
Christmas Seal Sales Go Slow
The sale of Christmas seals on the campus has reached 5,000 seals, which is still far short of a quota of 50,000.
"At this rate we will probably not meet our quota," said Margo Taylor, chairman of the campus drive, "But as the Christmas vacation approaches, I think the sales will increase."
The money collected from the University drive, which is conducted by the Douglas County Tuberculosis association, will be used for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis and for health education.
The campus drive began Monday, Nov. 28, and was to end in one hour of a lag of sales the drive was extended until the Christmas vacation.
At present there are receipt boxes located at the Union cafeteria, book store, and fountain, also at the Robinson business office. Most of the stores near the campus, or stores that are patronized mostly by students, have Christmas seal boxes prominently displayed.

Fans Must Leave Cameras Home
Students are requested to leave their cameras at home this year when attending University basketball games, according to a joint plea by E. C. Quigley, athletic director, and Dr. F. C. Allen, head basketball coach.
"In the past we have had trouble with amateur photographers shooting pictures since the bulbous mind of the players." Dr. Allen said.
Persons wishing to take pictures for newspapers and other publications should obtain permission from Don Pierce, sports publicity director, 105 Robinson Gym.
College students whose G.I. bill entitlements are running out can extend their period of government financed education, the Veterans Administration in Washington said today.
The G.I. bill allows full-time students a 15-day leave at the end of each semester. Normally, subsistence allowance is paid automatically for the 15-day periods and each vacancy from the veteran's total entitlement
Vets May Extend Their Schooling
Students may now exchange their paid vacations for extension of their entitlement, the V. A. said. They must pay back to the V. A. the subsistence allowances collected for vacation periods. For each 15-day period they can collect 15 more days of G.I. bill schooling.
"We have no information at K.U. other than a V.A. press release from Washington. We will release information about the effective date or method of procedure as soon as it is available." Dr. Elbel said.
"I believe there has been a relatively large number of veterans who have accepted leave pay at the University," Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of the Veterans bureau said. "If these veterans had not accepted their leave, they could have gone past the mid-semester mark and the V. A. would have paid for the remainder of the semester."
The V.A. in Washington said that veterans who were told they might either accept or reject their 15-day leave periods, and then accepted them, are not entitled to purchase more school time. But most students

ment, and all instruction will be under their supervision.
Toppea, Dec. 9—(U.P.)—North Central Kansas today had a snow blanket up to three inches thick while freezing drizzle coated southern sections.
The wintertime weather covered the state. Beloit reported three inches of snow in northern Kansas, Concordia two, and Phillipsburg one.
Weatherman Richard Garrett said the precipitation—intermittent light snow or freezing mist—will end this afternoon and tonight on a graduated schedule starting in the northwest and finishing in the southeast.
Garrett said Saturday will be warmer but the recess from frigid temperatures will be brief. Much colder temperatures are expected in Kansas Saturday night and Sunday.
Students May Fly Again In CAA Approved Program
The club will teach members to fly, and anyone enrolled in the University is eligible for membership said Dr. William Simpson, chairman of the aeronautical engineering department.
University students will take to the air again next semester with the reactivation of the Jayhawk Flying club.
"We plan to make the program enjoyable and safe," he said. "Our program is approved by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and will enable members to earn a private pilot's license in a minimum length of time and at a considerably reduced rate."
A meeting of all interested persons will be held at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 15, in the Aeronautical Engineering building.
Members will receive college credit for two courses required for a private license. The ground school course is worth two hours of credit, and the private flight course one hour.
Norman W. Hoecker, airplane and engine mechanic, will be in charge of all equipment. The ground school will be taught by members of the aeronautical engineering depart-
"Anyone who joins the club will in all probability have a private pilot's license by the end of the semester," Dr. Simpson said.
The approved program permits reduction of flying hours from 50 to approximately 35 and the cost will vary according to the student's progress. The government will not pay for the course under the G.I. bill.
Flight training is not new here, Dr. Simpson said. "K.U. was one of the 'first 9 or 10 schools in the country to start a civilian pilot training program just before the past war. Between 1939 and 1944 about 65,000 students were trained in the sponsorship of the federal government. Not a single permanent injury was incurred during that period."
The Jayhawk Flying club was first organized in 1945 and attained a membership of 48 members before the government discontinued payments for that type of training.
