Actress Dies Before Big Role
New York, Sept 23—(U.P.)-Broadway grieved today over the death of Mary MacArthur, 19, who had planned to open in a new play in November with her mother, actress Helen Haves.
Miss MacArthur, who made headlines even before she was born as the "act of God" baby of Miss Hayes, died last night in Lenox Hill hospital after a short illness caused by a virus infection. At her bedside were her father, playwright Charles MacArthur, and her mother.
The couple has one other child, an adopted son, Jamie, 10. MacArthur is best known for his hit, "The Front Page," which he co-authored with novelist Ben Hecht.
Miss MacArthur became ill while she and her mother were appearing in the play "Good Housekeeping" on the summer stock circuit. The play was being tried out prior to a Broadway opening and was Miss MacArthur's first appearance in a major production.

Exile Returns After 25 Years
Chicago, Sept. 23.—(U.P.)—Henry M. Blackmer, who exiled himself from the United States for a quarter-century to avoid testifying in the Teapot Dome scandal, was enroute today to his Denver home to face charges of income tax evasion.
The 80-year-old multi-millionaire, traveling with an unidentified young man, left Boston's south railroad station Thursday night. His wife, a former Norwegian opera singer, boarded the train separately at Back Bay station to avoid newsmen.
The wealthy owner of oil wells and mines had slipped into the United States by plane Wednesday, traveling with his wife under the assumed name of "Smith." Before he could be interviewed he entered the New England Baptist hospital for a routine physical checkup.
Blackmer, who banked a fortune estimated at 20 million dollars overseas, for years had resisted efforts by the government to bring him home for questioning about the oil frauds during the Harding administration. However, the justice department recently received intimations he would like to return.
Tom C. Clark, then attorney general, said Blackmer would be welcome if he would plead to six indictments still outstanding against him. These include two perjury counts carrying a maximum sentence of three years imprisonment and four counts of tax evasion with penalties of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine each.
KU Students Meet Director Of Nurses
Freshmen and new students in pre-nursing were welcomed by Evelan Vegiard, president, at the first meeting of the Pre-nursing club Thursday.
Miss Evelyn Hill, director of nurses at the K. U. Medical center, Kansas City, Kan., answered questions of the 10 women now in professional training who plan to enter nursing in Kansas City, Feb. 1, 1950.
As the house-passed measure was called up for debate, Sen. Harry F. Byrd, (D.-Va.) who opposed it in the armed service committee, said he was "leading any fight" against the bill on the senate floor.
Washington, Sept. 23 — (U.P.) - Friends and foes alike today predicted senate approval of the $302,000,000 military pay raise bill.
Military Pay Raise Approval Predicted
The next meeting will be Oct. 11.
"I expect it will pass," he added. The bill would raise pay scales for the army, navy, air force, marine corps, coast guard, coast and geodetic survey, public health service, reserves and the national guard.
"I expect it will pass," he added.
Under its provisions, all ranks and grades would come in for pay increases, but the biggest raises would go to the top officers. For example, a brigadier general would receive a 50 per cent hike in his base pay while a private would get only $5 more than his present $75 a month.
ROTC Party To Be Saturday Night
Final preparations are nearly completed for the R.O.T.C. open house welcoming party to be given all freshman students Saturday night in the Military Science building.
An estimated 500 students are expected to attend the informal party between 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
Three honorary military societies will be host to the new students. They are Scabbard and Blade, Pershing Rifles and Hawkwatch.
A sweater and skirt dance will be held in the ballroom with local talent providing entertainment during intermission. Students who do not wish to dance will be entertained by activities on the first floor.
Lucille Murray, president of the Girl's Rifle team, announced that all freshman and sophomore girls are invited and may bring partners.
Picture displays of the R.O.T.C. and N.R.O.T.C. program will be shown and interested men students will have a chance to find out more of the opportunities offered by the program.
Yugoslavs Change Debate Tactics
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Sept. 22—(U.P.)Yugoslavia accused Russia today of trying to conquer the world by establishing "police prefecture satellites."
It was a change of tactics for the Yugoslavs in the bitter Cominform debate, a switch to the offensive. The accusation was made by Moshe Pijade, communist elder statesman who has directed the war of words with Russia since the Cominform ousted Yugoslavia.
In the first of a series of articles, Borba, the communist party organ, taking up the whole front page of Pijade brushed aside all possibilities of a compromise.
"The trial of Laszlo Rajk in Budapest reveals the full subordination of all these communist parties to the Soviet intelligence services which control them completely and enforce upon them their political line," he said.
Admiral Defends Navy Officer
San Diego, — (U.P.)—Adml. Frederick C. Sherman, retired hero of the Pacific war, yesterday blasted the Defense department's gag on naval officers and said "it indicates these matters will not stand open discussion."
Adml. Sherman's attack came during a verbal defense of Capt. John G. Crommelin, whose statements on Army-air force domination of the navy brought about his transfer. He said Capt. Crommelin "should be commended for his courage and patriotism."
"Crommelin is an outstanding record," the admiral, who at one aviator with a distinguished combat time commanded the fifth fleet said. "He served with me in the Pacific and his combat experiences gives authority to his opinions.
"When the department of defense gags active naval officers for commenting on matters of defense policy, it indicates these matters will not stand open discussion."
Today is the last day for late enrollment and course changes for pharmacy students, J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said today.
