British Seize Berlin Canal Control Locks
Reinforced British military police seized canal control locks in Western Berlin today from Russian troops and have been shown to supply bottles brought in on the airlift.
U. P. World News
Soon afterward, Maj. Gen. P. A. Kvashin, Soviet transport commander, sent orders to permit all water traffic in the Western sectors to move during the rest of today.
The British sent armed military police to the locks today and ordered the Russians to get out or be out out. British officers told the Russians they would not submit to Russian control of the canals in their zone. The Russians gave way and the British took over the locks.
The flareup came as reliable reports circulated in Berlin that rail, roal and canal traffic between Western Germany and Berlin could be resumed within a matter of hours if the Western powers and the Soviets can reach agreement on lifting the Berlin blockade.
Kvashnin said a conference would be held on the "higher level" to determine the status of the locks. The Soviets long ago were given administrative control of Berlin's transportation systems under a fourpower agreement.

Court May View Fieldhouse Law
Topeka, April 28—(U.P.)-The Kansas supreme court was asked Wednesday to determine whether the state board of regents may constitutionally issue revenue bonds to build dormitories, fieldhouses and other campus buildings.
Revenue bonds could be issued to supplement $725,000 appropriated for the project by the 1949 legislature. Revenues could be distributed by Atty. Garny Hargeld, F. Katter.
The festival began in 1900 and was enlarged in 1923 to coincide with National Music week.
Should the high court uphold authority of the 1947 state law authorizing the board to issue such bonds, some observers felt the way would b. opened for construction of a giant fieldhouse at the University of Kansas.
Under the law, the regents last Saturday adopted a resolution permitting Kansas State college to issue $850,000 in revenue bonds.
The Kansas constitution, the attorney general pointed out, prohibits the state's debt from going over $1,000,000 except by a referendum such as the vote to pay a World War I veteran's bonus.
"The question at issue is whether such board of regents bonds would be debts of the state.
Fatzer explained:
"The constitution also prohibits Kansas from engaging in works of internal improvement other than highways. This suit raises the issue of whether the proceeds of the revenue bonds would be used for internal improvements."
The attorney general said it was hoped the case could be argued during the supreme court's May term.
'UN' Supervisors To Meet
Resolutions to be considered at the Mock United Nations conference will be determined at a meeting of the nation's supervisors at 4 p.m. today in Frank Strong auditorium.
'City Life' Cast Shows Skill
By DOROTHY EASTWOOD
"City Life" interpreted by the symbolism in movement of modern dance was the theme of Tau Sigma's annual recital Wednesday. A second performance will be presented at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
Individual numbers in the program were executed with noteworthy skill and grace. Jim Kiefner, fine arts junior, was particularly smooth in his movements. His interpretation of
Elizabeth LeSeur and Craig Hampton, College juniors, showed praiseworthy stage presence in their rendition of two museum portraits which had come to life. Their general interpretation clearly expressed the torture of thwarted love, the aloofness of the loved, and the final tragic murder. Both Miss LeSeur and Hampton executed the dance with easy graceful motion.
his movements. His interpretation of the frustration arising from the pressure of rushing crowds was dramatic and effective.
The drama of movement was demonstrated by Gerry Clement, fine arts freshman, in her dance as keeper of the opium den. Miss Clement, by her movements, transported the audience to the exotic atmosphere of an opium den.
Shirley Kyle, College sophomore, had excellent timing in her role as an entertainer in the night club. Elaine Selicovitz, physical education instructor, showed the the effect of smooth body motion as she portrayed'an affiring, flirting street walker.
Dorothea Fuller, College senior and Tom Steinle, business junior, presented the more familiar type dance in their "Strictly Latin" duet. This couple worked together with a fitness not evidenced in all of the duet numbers.
Little Betty Cress, daughter of John Cress, graduate student, and her associates in the children's scene added a pleasant touch to what could have been an overly weari-
some production.
Other light touches were the "country cousins." LaVaughn Hull, education senior, showed smooth movement in her duet with Jim Klefner. Mrs. Hull possessed animation in both facial and body motion.
Mary Helen Hyder, College junior, added lightness in her duet with Tom Steinle. Miss Ryder used enough comedy in her movements to keep her in the character of a country girl but skillfully combined comedy with grace and coordination.
The continuity of the recital was nearly lost despite the compactly written narrative because of delay. Time hung heavily between numbers, indicating that someone wasn't sure what to do next including the audience. Costumes were clever and added to the symbolism of the dances.
A lack of coordination in the overall direction of the recital was evident by the poor timing and the inaccuracies in the printed program.
The week will open Sunday with a Gala concert by the School of Fine Arts. Other special programs during the week will include a music convocation; the Fine Arts banquet; a concert by the Budapest String quartet; a recital by Gladys Sworthhrout, soprano; a concert by Seymour Lipkin, pianist; and a concert by the Lawrence public schools
