Snow Will Get New Biology Lab
A new laboratory for experimental biology is nearing completion in 112. Snow hall. The laboratory is part of the program for improved teaching sponsored by the zoology department.
The laboratory will be used for research work by zoology staff members and for training graduate students. The room will also be used for work in embryology, genetics, and the research being done by Dr. Charles Leone, assistant professor of zoology.
New paint, lighting, plumbing facilities and the installation of pressure steam were included in the reconversion. The work was done by the buildings and grounds department.
Two connecting rooms have been made from a classroom. One room will house the animals used in the laboratory. The other room will be used by the research and teaching staff.
New equipment for the laboratory is being installed as soon at is arrives, Dr. Leone said. A photon-reflectorometer, a device to measure serological reactions, is part of the new laboratory equipment. Dr. Leone said there are probably not more than eight of these machines in existence. Other new equipment will also make possible the rapid dehydration of biological fluids to a powder state.
Reds Ask For Unified Reich
Berlin, Oct. 27—(U.P.) Wilhelm Pieck, president of Communist East Germany, asked the West German federal republic today to negotiate with his government on establishment of a unified Germany.
Pieck suggested in an article in the Communist party newspaper Neues Deutschland that a unified Germany could gain a peace treaty with the allies.
But first, he said, it would be necessary for the Bonn government "to abandon its present policy and join the common fighting front."
"Only in this way can German unity be achieved and a peace treaty obtained." Pieck said.
The Communist bid for a four-power peace treaty was made one day after the Russians apparently cancelled plans for a separate peace treaty with the East German state because of a growing revolt against Communism there.
Under a peace treaty, Russia would have to withdraw its occupation troops within one year, leaving the East German state in a perilous security position from the Kremlin viewpoint.
voters opposed to the Communist regime cast one third of the ballots in an election early this year. Current reports assert the opposition is growing and that Communist police are making numerous arrests to quell it.
East German leaders hinted for two weeks about a proposed separate peace treaty. But they abruptly reversed their attitude Wednesday.
East German premier Otto Grotewohl held a press conference for 100 newsmen and told them the East German regime did not want a separate peace treaty with Russia.
111 Hear Oliver Speak
"We are not interested in making a separate peace treaty," Grotewohl told the surprised newsmen. "Our efforts are directed at a peace treaty for all Germany.
T. W. Oliver, assistant bridge engineer of the Kansas State Highway department, Topeka, spoke on "Soundings for Bridges" at the meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers in Lindley auditorium Wednesday night.
Mr. Oliver traced the history and progress in putting down bridge pilings and testing earth strata. One hundred eleven persons attended the meeting.
Do Law Students Carry Canes?
Eavesdropping can produce some humorous incidents. One student reported that while standing in a cafeteria line recently he overheard two girls discussing students who carry canes.
"Who are these fellows who carry canes around?" the first girl asked.
"I think they are auctioneers," her friend replied.
"You are probably right," the first girl said "because I've seen them hanging around Green hall and they probably have some speech classes there. They would have to have speech to be auctioners."
Yes, eavesdropping can be interesting, but it might produce some red-faced lawyers!
Radio Editor Tells Of Work
A big thing in radio is to be sincere, Mrs. R. Dean Johnson, women's editor of radio station KMBC, told advertising classes of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information Wednesday.
Mrs. Johnson, a housewife with two children, is a script writer, does interviews, and has her own recipe program. She told how she started as a script writer for the station after graduation from the University of Missouri.
"I knew absolutely nothing about radio." she said. "In fact, I had not even been inside of a studio. I got this job merely through articles which I had written."
Continuing her views on sincerity, Mrs. Johnson remarked that she did not think "you can be successful unless you have an interest in your listener. You have to believe in your listener and you have to want to help him."
If a person wants to sell something to his listener, he must "above all, be personal and talk as if you were talking to one person." Mrs. Johnson added.

Leftist Unions Threaten To Break With CIO
Cleveland, Oct. 27—(U.R.)Officials of nearly a dozen left-wing C.I.O. unions tentatively have decided to break away from the C.I.O. if national union officers persist in their demands that the left-wingers follow C.I.O. policies on foreign and domestic issues.
Informed sources said the left-wing C.I.O. leaders, meeting in secret session here, have mapped out a complete program which they will follow when the C.I.O.'s national convention meets here Monday.
These sources said the program calls for a left-wing fight against any and all attempts to force the unions to conform to national C.I.O. policies. They said the pro-Communist union officials decided to lead their unions out of the C.I.O. and possibly form a third big labor federation if right-wing C.I.O. officials don't stop "interfering" in their affairs.
Right-wing union officials, meanwhile, were close-mouthed on the coming battle with the left-wing affiliates.
It generally was agreed the first action against the left-wing unions would come on the convention floor when delegates are asked to kick all left-wing union leaders off the powerful C.I.O. executive board.
C. I.O. president Philip Murray is expected to follow up with a demand that three or four of the smaller left-wing affiliates be tossed out of the union.
It is then, according to present plans, that all the left-wing unions will leave the CLO.
The left-wing unions, 12 in all,
have about 650,000 members,
or about one-tenth of the C.I.O.'s total
membership.
If they walk out or are kicked out of the CLO., Murray is expected to ask the convention to form organizing committees to go in to the left-wingers jurisdiction and begin raiding their memberships.
The 12 C.I.O. unions generally regarded as "left-wing" are: United Electrical Workers; Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers; Farm Equipment Workers; Longshoremen's Union; Marine Cooks and Stewards; Fishermen's Union; United Public Workers; Office and Professional Workers; American Communications Association; United Furniture Workers; Fur and Leather Workers; and Food, Tobacco and Agricultural Workers.
