2. The senate appropriations committee approved a measure approving $1,314,010,000 to enable the United States to build up the military defenses of Atlantic Pact powers and other free nations. This legislation already has passed the house.
The armed services appropriation has been one of the major obstacles to congress' adjournment. The house voted an extra $741,386,000 to build up the air force to 58 groups,
President Truman sided with the senate on this issue. But house conferences maintained that Russia's recent conquest of the atom made a larger air force advisable.

Britain Offers Recognition
Hong Kong, Oct. 18—(U.P.)=Communist sources said today that Britain was offering recognition to the Peiping regime in return for guarantees that British rights in Hong Kong would be respected.
In London, the British foreign office said it knew nothing of the reported talks in Peiping. Discussions of recognition of the Communist regime are being carried on with commonwealth and western powers through normal diplomatic channels, an official said.
Full recognition would be granted. Communist sources said, after collapse of the Chinese Nationalist government and recognition of the Peiping regime by the United Nations.
Kong would. There reports, which could not be confirmed officially, said the negotiations were being carried on in the Chinese Communist capital of Peiping on an informal basis.
nels, an onecarent British Briton carefully offered the Communist a sort of step-by-step recognition, with normal trade relations and recognition of Communist authority in areas under Communist control to come first.
In exchange the British were asking Communist recognition of China's international obligations, including treaties directly affecting British rights to Hong Kong, Kowloon and the so-called 0 new territories.
3. Surrender of Nationalist assets in Hong Kong.
Communist sources said the Communist authorities were demanding four concessions:
1. Fulfill unpromised task.
2. Withdrawal of the British mission from the Nationalist government.
4. Extradition of Nationalist officials whose names appear on the Communist "war criminal" list, including a number of high Nationalist officials living in retirement here.

Representatives from teacher training institutions in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska will meet here Monday. Oct. 24 to discuss problems of health education, physical education and recreation, Henry A. Shenk, associate professor of physical education, said today.

This conference will try to implement the recommendations of the national group. Similar conferences are being held in other parts of the country.
The area conference will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Union building.
Consultant and leader for the conference is Dr. Carl Nordly, professor of physical education at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Nordly attended the national meeting the past May. He is president of the American Health, Physical Education, and Recreation association.
E. B. Stouffer, dean of the University, will welcome the visitors. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, will also speak at the opening meeting.

Jan Chiapusso, showed he has much ability to a concert pianist, at his recital Monday. He proved his fact before an audience of approximately 1,200 at his all-Chopin recital. It was the 100th anniversary of the prolific Polish genius, Frederick Chopin.
Other outstanding people in this field who will be here are L. P. Washburn and Miss Katherine Geyer, Kansas State college; Dr. Mabel Lee and Charles Miller, University of Nebraska; Dr. Jack Matthews, University of Missouri; Miss Edna McCullough, Emporia State college; Dr. Gwendolyn Drew Washington university and Robert W. Tulley, Bethel college
Mr. Shenk says that the University was chosen for this conference because of its central location. Mr. Shenk has been in charge of planning the regional meeting.

Audience Thrilled With Chiapusso
The "Sonata in B flat minor" which opened the program, was played with a control which indicated a reservoir of strength which the pianist could call up if he chose. The "March Funebre" of the sonata, together with the more familiar "Revolutionary Etude," and the "Walt in A Flat" were favorites of the audience.
Widely known as an interpreter of Chopin, Prof. Chiapusso never subordinated the music to his powerful technique. His interpretations revealed a knowledge of the difficult art of phrasing and a strict sense of rhythm. The nocturne, and the two waltzes were sensitively played with a clean, singing touch.
Jan Chiapasso, professor of piano at the University, would have deserved the admiration of the audience solely for his remarkable memory of the compositions. His performance was a feast for the fans and a treat for even the occasional concert-goer. However a shorter program would have been more enjoyable.
Anatomy Professor Lectures Tonight
Dr. Bradley M. Patten, professor of anatomy at the University of Michigan, will discuss "The First Heart Beats and the Beginning of the Embryonic Circulation" before Sigma Xi members at 8 p.m. tonight in the lecture room of Lindley hall.
The lecturer will use lantern slides and moving pictures to illustrate his topic. The public is invited to attend.

Plan Garden As Memorial
A memorial garden to the late Mrs. W. S. Griesa, '13, is being planted east of Mississippi street near the Union. Mrs. Griesa died the past April from injuries suffered in an automobile accident near Emporia.
The garden won't be complete until more plants and a memorial plaque are added, Alton Thomas, University landscape architect, said.
Principal plants of the garden will be evergreens. A large portion of them have been donated by W. S. Griesa, husband of Mrs. Griesa and proprietor of the Mount Hope nursery of Lawrence. Gifts from Mrs. Griesa's friends are providing the other materials.
materiary. Pfitzer juniper, a low-lying, spreadings evergreen will be the plant, Mr. Thomas said. Taller junipers and white birches have been planted for contrast. It will be five to 10 years before the plants will produce the effect now planned.
Bands of tulips and narcissuses will form a border around the garden next spring. ___
