Reds To Form German State; Withdraw Army
Berlin, Oct. 5—(U.P)—A new Communist central German government claiming jurisdiction over East and West Germany's 66 million people will be formed Friday by proclamation, official and unofficial reports said today.
The official Soviet army newspaper Teagliche Rundschau indicated the Russians would sign a peace treaty with the new government and then withdraw Soviet occupation troops from Germany.
A Russian withdrawal, however, still would leave a powerful Soviet zone German police force organized along military lines with tanks, mortars and heavy machine guns to "maintain order" in the Soviet zone.
Formation of the new Soviet zone state was announced Tuesday by Wilhelm Pieck, Moscow-trained Soviet zone Communist, but Pieck did not specify the exact date.
German sources said the Soviet zone Peoples Council would meet Friday in the presence of high Soviet officials and "accept the peoples mandate" to form-"an all-German government with headquarters in Berlin."
The council reportedly will convert itself into the Volkstag—the peoples chamber—of the new government. The council was appointed by the Soviets from various political and trade union groups in the Soviet zone.
Taegliche Kundschau, in commenting on Fieck's announcement, said the proposed new government would claim jurisdiction over the Western zone despite formation of the West German state with its capital at Bonn.
ISA Offers Scholarship
A $50 scholarship, to be offered by the Independent Student association, was discussed at a recent I. S. A. meeting in the Union.
Anyone interested in applying for the scholarship may pick up application blanks in 207 Strong hall. These banks must be returned by Nov. 15.
A proposed scholarship hall to house 52 men and will be a memorial to the late Lyle Stephenson, Kansas City, Mo. insurance man. His widow willed the Endowment Association $90,000 with which to build a scholarship hall. A campaign has been started to raise an additional $50,000 for its construction.
Total Eclipse Of Moon Will Occur On Thursday
A total eclipse of the moon will occur Thursday night, Dr. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, said today.
The eclipse will run true to the pre-determined schedule, Dr. Storer said. The moon will touch the shadow at 7:05 p.m. and at 8:20 p.m. the moon will be totally eclipsed. At 9:33 p.m. the moon will
Workshop Will Discuss Rushing
Methods of sorority rushing on various University campuses will be discussed by Miss Margaret Peck, assistant dean of women at the University of Texas, at the Panhellenic workshop Friday, Oct. 21 and Saturday, Oct. 22.
A series of roundtable discussions will also be held at the workshop.
will also be held at the workshop. A violation of Panhellenic rules for initiation by Sigma Kappa sorority was announced Tuesday at a meeting of the women's Panhellenic council. Council members voted that Sigma Kappa closing hours be advanced one-half hour until Thanksgiving. Regulation closing hours will be restored at that time if all members of the sorority have passed a test administered by the dean of women's office on the organization of National Panhellenic council.
start emerging from the shadow, and the eclipse will end at 10:48 p.m.
"These times can be predicted very accurately from geometrical considerations of the positions of the sun, moon and earth." Dr. Storer explained, "but they cannot be observed with any accuracy because the edge of the earth's shadow is very indefinite at such a great distance."
The moon shines only by reflected sunlight and during an eclipse, the moon moves into the earth's shadow. The moon will not be completely "blacked out," but will have a dull copper-color. it is reflection of sunlit ato shadow by the earth.
reflection of sunlit into shadow by the earth's atmosphere.
"There is no particular advantage in looking at the eclipse through the telescope." Dr. Storer said. "It can be seen just as well with the unaided eye." There will be no open house at the observatory for viewing Thursday's eclipse.
The eclipse Thursday night will be the second total eclipse of the moon this year. The first occurred April 12. The next total eclipse will be Sept. 25, 1950.

World Series Scores At Kansan
FINAL SCORE
Yankees 1, Dodgers 0
World Series scores will be posted outside the north door of the Journalism building as fast as they come in over the wire services of the United Press.
The Series between the Brooklyn Doggers and the New York Yankees began this afternoon. Late scores may also be had by calling the University Daily Kansan, K.U. extensions 251, 252, or 253. Other details may be found on pages four and five.
- The building, to be built east of Templin hall, will be a memorial to the late Lyle Stephenson, Kansas City, Mo. insurance man.
Ninety thousand dollars with which to build a scholarship hall was willed to the Endowment Association in 1946 when Mr. Stephenson's widow died.
The structure, which will face the west, will be Georgian in architectural design. On the basement level there will be dining, recreation, and storage rooms and a kitchen. The first floor will have four double rooms for students, a living room, and housemother's quarters. there will be 11 double rooms on the second and third floors.
Mr. Youngberg explained that previous bids for the construction of the hall have exceeded the amount of money provided in the will by as much at $60,000. Recently, the additional amount required has been reduced to $50,000.
A committee has been appointed consisting of Keith Lawson, director of dormitories; Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the endowment association; and L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, chairman, to direct the construction of the hall.
The committee is working on a program to raise money for the amount needed for the hall's construction, explained Mr. Youngseub
"If the money can be raised," Mr. Youngberg said, "It is hoped the hall will be ready for occupancy sometime next year."
Residents of the hall will be selected on the basis of scholarship, character, and need.
Other scholarship halls at the University are Watkins, Miller, Battenfeld, Sterling, and Oliver.
"The need to build at this time is evidenced by the number of applicants for admittance to scholarship halls, during the past year," Mr. Youngberg said.

Landscaping at the Kappa Sigma house, 1045 West Hills, will be completed this week. The project was begun in July.
Highest Ranking Graduate Visits KU While On Leave
Bv EDWARD CHAPIN
Who does a general see when he wants a leave?
"I go in and ask the chief of staff," Lt. Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead, 20, said Tuesday during a visit to the University. General Whitehead was taking his second vacation in 11 years.
Wearing a comfortable gray suit, General Whitehead, commander of the Continental air force, was
Wearing a comforta of the Continental air force, was reluctant to discuss the atom bomb or measures for atomic defense.
"I have nothing to say concerning atomic military matters," he said. "But I can say that the defense fighter squadrons of the Continental air force are becoming 100 per cent jet-plane equipped."
Concerning the controversial B-36, a six-bomber bomber reportedly capable of going anywhere in the world and returning, General Whitehead said, "The B-36 is the best big bomber in the world."
In 1927 General Whitehead, then a lieutenant in the Air corps, took part in a 20,000-mile good flight to South America. Over Buenos Aires his plane collided with another craft, forcing him to bail out. At that time the accident was
widely publicized and General Whitehead remembers it as one of his "closest calls."
During World War II he commanded the Fifth air force in the Pacific theater and later was moved up to head the Far East air forces. General Whitehead flew 40 combat missions and has been awarded a handful of decorations and medals.
General Whitehead recalled that during his last visit to the University, in 1945, he spoke to an all-student convocation. At that meeting he was given the Alumni award for distinguished service.
His leave, during which he was honored by a hometown celebration in Burlington, Kan., is about over and General Whitehead is returning to his headquarters at Mitchell field, New York. Accompany-
him were Mrs. Whitehead, the former Mary M. Nicholson, 18, and Mrs. John B. Gage, Kansas City, Mo.

The general visited Anne Gage, College senior, at the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house. John C. Gage, first year law student, also joined the group. Gage visited General Whitehead's headquarters several times during World War II while stationed in Tokyo.
General Whitehead called on Mrs U. G. Mitchel G. Mitchell, professor
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, discussed construction costs of a proposed memorial building in comparison with costs in other sections of the country with General Whitehead.
