STUDENT NEWS PAPER
Attlee Refuses Challenge For General Election
London. Oct. 13—(U.P.)—Prime minister Clement Attlee today rejected Winston Churchill's challenge to hold a general election this year.
Attlee issued an announcement saying there would be no election before 1950. He explained that he did so to alleviate speculation and attendant "disturbing effects on trade and industry."
The announcement meant that the Labor government intended to weather the storm of domestic criticism caused by devaluation of the pound and take its chances at the polls next summer.
By that time the Laborites will have accomplished their major project, nationalization of the iron and steel industry. The bill becomes law next spring.
Churchill challenged the government to take its economic policies before the voters in an early general election during the recent parliament debate on devaluation. Attlee said no.
A statement issued from the prime minister's residence at number 10 Downing street said:
"Having regard to the disturbing effects of trade and industry and on the national effort to the continuance of speculation as to an early general election, the prime minister thinks it right to inform the country of his decision not to advise his majesty to dissolve parliament this year."
Attlee's decision was reached in a full cabinet meeting this morning attended by the top leaders of the Labor party, including Ernest Bevin, foreign secretary, who returned Wednesday from the United States.
The prime minister's statement indicated the Labor government will carry out its full term in office until next summer, when elections will have to be held by law.
The last election was in 1945 and elections must be held every five years.
To reach the decision against immediate elections Attlee was forced to beat down opposition within the Labor cabinet which felt that it would be better to go before the people now than later, when the effects of devaluation begin to pinch the working man.
Health minister Aneurin Bevan was understood to be a prime exponent of the "elections now" school. Other personalities in Attlee's cabinet wished to hold off until after the steel nationalization bill becomes law next spring.
Memorial Project Chairman Chosen
Robert Petitt, College senior, was appointed chairman of the projects committee.
Five committee chairmen for Student Memorial projects were appointed Tuesday by Jack Howard, president of the Student Memorial committee.
John Awald, College junior, will be in charge of a series of radio broadcasts over KFKU which will give the history of Carillons and describe carillons in the United States.
George Tappan, College senior, will be in charge of the Memorial display in the Union during Homecoming Nov. 19. John Scrivner, College senior, and Mary Fischer, education junior, will plan the display at the Homecoming game.
NAM Offers New York Trip
Any junior or senior interested in applying for the all expense trip to New York City offered by the National Association of Manufacturers should make application at the office of the School of Business, 214 Strong hall. Applications will be accepted until Friday noon.
All veterans who have made satisfactory progress in school have until Tuesday, Nov. 1, to enroll in courses of training without the necessity of prior approval of the Veterans administration.
Veterans Must Enroll By Nov. 1
Some World War II veterans thought they would be unable to re-enter training under the G.I. bill or change courses after Nov. 1. On or after Tuesday, Nov. 1, the certificate of eligibility prepared by the V.A. must show the course and the school the veteran seeks to enter.
It was pointed out that the date of application of Public Law 266 was extended to Nov. 1. This was to avoid working a hardship on any student who had not been able to enter school before Sept. 12, the original date of the regulation.
Public law 266 prohibits veterans from taking courses under the G.I. bill for recreational or avocational purposes. It also prohibits them from enrolling in institutions that have been operating less than a year.
The V.A. emphasized that this new law in no way eliminates training or schooling under the G.I. bill. It does, however, set up requirements that must be met before the V.A. may issue a certificate of eligibility.
Dean and Mrs. Carr Will Give Reception Sunday
All administrative officers of the University and their wives and all University staff members who devote full time to teaching engineering students, and their wives, are invited.

Group Expects Field House Plans Soon
The University field house committee will study the plans of eight field houses within the next one and a half months.
The plans of Kansas State, Hutchinson municipal, University of Minnesota, University of Kentucky, Rensselaer Polytechnic institute, and Michigan State have already arrived, and those of the University of Oklahoma, and North Carolina State, are expected to arrive this week.
"We hope to make recommendations concerning the field house to Chancellor Malott within the next month and a half," Dean T. DeWitt Carr, chairman of the committee, said today.
The eight field houses were selected for study on the basis of features which would be desirable in the Kansas field house, or have a seating capacity of 15,000—the approximate seating capacity planned for the Kansas structure.
Dr. William W. Davis, professor of history, has been re-elected chairman of the athletic board and Karl Klooz, University bursar, was elected secretary-treasurer. Members re-elected as faculty members of the board were Dr. Davis and Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension.
Alumni members elected to the board are Paul Yankey, Jr., Wichita, and Howard Engleman, Salina.
The first fall meeting of Sigma Xi national honorary society for scientific research, will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in 210 Blake hall.

Law Professor Danced In New York Cafe Society Before Coming To KU
Mr. Slough's dramatic career began when he attended the Schuster-Martin School of Dramatic Art in Cincinnati, where he was a classmate of Tyrone Power.
"A well-dressed person's life was in danger at that time." Mr. Slough
Torts, habeas corpus, and evidence don't seem to have much in common with a song-and-dance routine, but the School of Law has a faculty member who is at home with both.
Mr. Slough feels he had a date with destiny on a warm July day in 1936. He saw the smoldering Spanish situation, that many experts say furnished the sparks for World War II, burst into flames as the Spanish Civil war.
M. C. Slough, associate professor, "wanted to be a lawyer all the time, but just had to have a crack at the theater and show business first."
He did a song-and-dance routine in New York cafe society night spots. He played the lead in two Warner Brothers' pictures, "College Dads" and Varsity Varieties." His polished diction gave him radio parts in C.B.S. dramatic and mystery shows.
said. "A person who appeared prosperous was considered to be a fascist. Most Americans in the vicinity of Madrid were taken to the American embassy until their visas were checked. I left the country as soon as possible."
"Many Americans were hood-winked into believing the fight was for and against democracy. It was actually a fight between the right and left factions in Spain."
Mr. Slough took undergraduate work at Columbia university and was graduated from the Indiana university law school. He served in the navy four years during the war as a Spanish instructor and a legal officer on the staff of Admiral Nimitz on Guam. He came to the University in 1946.
KU Observatory Holds Open House
Star clusters of the milky way will be seen at the University observatory from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Dr. N.W. Storer, associate professor of physics, announced today.

Bavles Joins Japanese Staff
Dr. Ernest E. Bayles, professor of education, is one of 12 American educators now in Japan to indoctrinate Japanese college professors in the American way of teaching. Dr Bayles was selected to participate in Japan's third Institute for Educational Leadership.
The American staff will act as consultants to leading Japanese educators. They, with the Americans, will jointly conduct training classes, discussions, round-table conferences and practice workshops for approximately 1,500 Japanese educators enrolled in the institute. Institute courses are designed to train a corps of Japanese leaders who can implement Japan's new democratic system of education.
A variety of army, navy, and civilian planes enabled Dr. Bayles to reach Japan quickly. A chartered Constellation took him from Leavenworth to Alameda, Calif. There the navy took over and gave Dr. Bayles what he writes was "one of my greatest thrills"—a ride in a flying boat with a jet-assisted takeoff. After stop-overs at Guam and Honolulu, the army flew him the final leg of his trip to Tokyo.
Dr. Bayles will begin three months of discussions and conferences Monday at Tohoku university in Sendai. Three concurrent sessions will be held at Kyoto, Tokyo, and Kyushu universities. He plans to return to the United States immediately after the closing of the institute Saturday, Dec. 31. To resume his work at the University.
Dr. Bayles is the only institute representative who lives west of the Mississippi river.

United Nations Hit Stalemate On Atom Control
Lake Success, N. Y., Oct. 13—(U.P)
-Experts from the big six atomic countries meet for the 10th time today with gloom dampening hopes for any agreement on control of the atomic bomb.
There were these other stalemates in the United Nations:
All University women are invited to carry a lantern to the chancellor's home Tuesday, Oct. 18, in the annual Lantern parade.
2. The Greek dispute, on which little progress was being made by top U.N. officials in their efforts to gain Russian consent to a peaceful settlement among the Athens government, its northern neighbors and the Greek guerrillas.
1. Yugoslavias' rift with Russia, an issue heightened by published reports, denied at U.N. headquarters, that secretary-general Tryge Lie had told secretary of state Dean Acheson that Yugoslavia's election to the security council in opposition to Kremlin - backed Czechoslovakia might lead to the Soviets' withdrawal from the world organization.
3. The Chinese issue, on which there were unofficial hints that the Nationalist government's dispute with Russia might be shelved for this assembly session.
Russia appeared to be playing a waiting game, anticipating that the western big four and Canada would alter their stand on atomic control. This hope withered, however, when Warren R. Austin, chief U.S. delegate, derided Russia's demand to include the atomic bomb in a proposed arms census.
Carrying Japanese lanterns, women will parade from the Union to Lilac lane where they will serenade Mr. and Mrs. Malott.
The Russian demand was made Tuesday in the security council, which is lated to vote on the arms census proposal Friday.
Girls, Get A Lantern
The women will meet at the Union at 8 p. m., and hold a short discussion on campus customs and practice University songs before the parade. Refreshments will be served at this time.
Following the senrade, Nancy Smith, Y. W. C. A. president, will present Mrs. Mallot a bouquet of flowers.
The first Lantem parade was held more than 30 years ago by a group of Y. W. C. A. members who formed a procession and marched around the campus with lanterns, ending with a serenade at the chancellor's home.
