The political science department will sponsor Streit's lecture on "What To Do About the Soviet Atomic Bomb." He will speak at 4 p.m. in Fraser theater.
Ten years ago Mr. Streit, who for many years was the New York Times' League of Nations correspondent, published a book "Union Now."
Last spring Federal Union moved into political action with the formation of an Atlantic Union committee for a Federal Convention of Democracies. Former supreme court justice Owen J. Roberts, long a supporter of Mr. Streit, headed the group. Vice-chairman were Will Clayton, Texas businessman and former under secretary of state; and Robert P. Patterson.
Mr. Streit and his book, which in various editions has sold 300,000 copies, started a movement that now has a formal organization, Federal Union. Inc.
At K.U. Mr. Streit will discuss the effect of Rusia's formal entry into the atomic armament race on the proposed federal union of the suggested 15 to 20 democratic nations.

Sunflower Veterans Need Late GI Checks
BY EDWARD CHAPIN and FRANCIS KELLEY
No credit. No Red Cross aid. Welfare fund depleted. County welfare ignores them.
These are the facts facing more than 200 student families living in Sunflower village waiting for government checks already 26 days late.
VA Cites Causes Of Check Delay
The delay of government subsistence checks to veterans is due to many factors, Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of the Veterans bureau, said today.
"Approximately 35,000 veterans receive training under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City Veterans administration office." Dr. Belel said. "The majority of these students enter training during the last three weeks of September, swamping the employees who process the veterans certificates."
"Some of the delay is caused by the veterans failure to properly complete their subsistence forms. Approximately 200 veterans who transferred to the University from other schools did not have their certificates of eligibility and entitlement. The veteran must obtain a certificate and have it endorsed by our office if they expect to receive any subsistence."
Dr. O. Myking Mehus, chief of education and rehabilitation at the regional office of the Veterans administration at Kansas City, Mo., has said that all veterans will receive their checks between Tuesday, Nov. 1 and Thursday, Nov. 10. These checks will include subsistance allowance for the months of September and October, he said.
Able Cast Provides Comedy In 'Male Animal'
By BILLIE STOVER
An able cast, plus the wit of James Thurber, added up to the first performance of "The Male Animal" Tuesday night in Fraser theater. Gene Courtney as Tommy Turner, professor of English at Midwestern college, convinced the audience that he was truly a defender of academic freedom and a "male animal" in protecting his home.
Although considered a pacific bookworm, he invited Ed Keller, a college trustee, and Joe Ferguson, a former All-American football player, to "go out to the back yard" to fight.
Ellen Turner, played by Elizabeth Dillon, tried to smooth out the trouble caused when her husband insisted upon reading an anarchist's letter to his class, against the wishes of the college trustees. Ellen's efforts to help were complicated by her husband's jealousy of Joe, a former beau.
Phyllis Clegg, as Cleota, confused all callers with her telephone conversations. Dorothy Hardy portrayed Ed Keller's noisy wife, Myrtle, and Frank La Ban, Jr., took
In the turmoil of the faculty upset and the college's homecoming football game, Bob Allen, as Dean Fredrick Damon, was further dismayed by an editorial written by Michael Barnes, an intellectual student. The remarks made by Dean Damon's wife concerning the editorial, started the action off toward a hilarious climax.
Complications were added by the rivalry over Pat Stanley, Ellen's sister, of Michael Barnes and Wally Myers, Midwestern's current football hero.
the role of "Nutsy" Miller. Fred Huggins played a newspaper reporter.
Kay Peters was cast as Pat Stanley, Robert Carl as Wally Myers, Ernest Coombs as Michael Barnes, Don Harling as Joe Ferguson, Bettie Sage as Blanche Damon, and Loren Orr as Ed Keller.
Miss Jersild Recital Tonight
Miss Marian Jersild, instructor in piano, will be presented in a recital at 8 p. m. today in Strong auditorium. She appears in the third series of faculty recitals.
Other performances of the play will be today, Thursday, and Friday at 8:15 p.m.
In a scene from "The Male Animal," which opened last night in Fraser theater, Don Harlay, (right) who plays Joe Ferguson, explains a statue of liberty play the football team is going to use to Phyllis Clegg, (left) who plays Cleota. The play will continue through Friday night.
Miss Jersilk, who came to the University in 1947, has studied at the University of Southern California and the Chicago Musical college. Her teachers have included John Crown, Rudolf Ganz, and Carl Friedberg. She is now organist at Trinity Lutheran church.
Miss Jersild will play two original compositions by Miss Katherine Mulky, instructor in organ and theory.
- Also the veterans face possible eviction from their homes if they cannot pay rent by Thursday, Nov. 3. Some checks may not arrive until Thursday, Nov. 10.
Questioned today about evictions, John A. LaMonica, director of housing for Sunflower village, said, "The rent comes due and is paid on the first day of the month. This period has been extended to the first three working days of the month. However, each case will be considered individually before eviction notices are sent out."
Speaking from the veteran's viewpoint, Mark Talbott, commander of the Sunflower Amvet's post No. 1, said most of them expressed the opinion that "the government owes us money and we owe the government money and yet they are going to kick us out if we can't pay them rent."
Pointing to the almost empty welfare fund of the civic association, Philip Fleming, assistant instructor in shop practice and chairman of the association, said, "Welfare funds are depleted. There are so many people who need assistance that we can't help them."
Noting that Johnson county aid is not available, David T. Dailey, College senior, asserted, "The county won't help us. They consider Sunflower village out of their jurisdiction. In the past, the veteran's club had a grocery pool, but it is not operating now."
The Red Cross no longer maintains an office in Sunflower village, Mr. Fleming explained. "The Red Cross won't give us any help. It is so set up at present that their funds are allocated to servicemen. This does not include veterans."
Here are some examples: Eggs sell for 65 cents a dozen in Sunflower, but cost 57 cents elsewhere. One pound of coffee costs 69 cents while the same brand is marked 88 cents in stories outside the village. A popular brand of soap flakes sells for four cents more than in other places.
Merchants of Sunfiwer village have refused credit to the student families because of the high turnover of residents. Thanuel B. Bowen, College sophomore, said that prices are generally higher in the village stores than elsewhere.
Delay of the government checks has meant that many students and their wives have had to take part-time jobs to meet expenses. Families with children face even more difficult circumstances.
The father of a two-year-old girl, Marvin E. Latimer, education senior, said, "I had to take a job as a substitute for the government check. The job interferes with my studies."
Harry Tenard, graduate student, has a boy six weeks old. He said, "We have bought only the bare necessities in order to put away a little money for just such an emergency as this. We are waiting for the checks to come through so we can buy some used furniture."
Pointing out the necessity of additional income, John H. Scrivner, College senior, admitted, "If my wife wasn't working, we'd be hurt, too."
Many village families are sharing food with each other to lighten their financial difficulties. An organized effort is being made to replenish the welfare funds before Tuesday, Nov. 1.
