Have A Drink! Kansas Is Wet As Of Today
Topeka. March 9—(U.P.) A Topekan early today openly unlocked his car trunk, lugged a load of liquor into the house, heaved a sigh and poured himself a legal drink.
Ray Morgan, a newspaper reporter, had bought in Kansas City, the full case allowed under a law signed yesterday by Gov. Frank Carlson.
At 12:01 a.m. today, he crossed the intercity viaduct into Kansas without bothering to see if he was being followed.
What Morgan was doing was duplicated several places along the heretofore wet borders of the pioneer wet state of the nation. As long as the individuals didn't have more than one case each and stayed out of Kansas until after midnight, it was the first time they didn't face trouble for tipping.
Publication in the official state paper today repeals the state's bone-dry law prohibiting of possession and transportation of alcoholic beverages
Atty. Gen. Harold R. Fatzter ruled late yesterday that publication time affects the entire day. So what Morgan and probably one hundred others were doing was for the first time within the law.
Not a big percentage of the thousands of drinking Kansans have ever been penalized under the bone-dry law. But the smoothness of wage bourbon was often made raw by the thought of that law. Today liquor on the shelf and a high ball in the glass are a sight sore from peering for police.
Meanwillie, Morgan and his Kansas counterparts will buy their whisky outside Kansas and breathe easily—if they adhere to regulations.
The new measure permits Kansans to bring up to one case of intoxicants into the state for their own use and possession and consumption in cities which voted wet in November. It prohibited public drinking outside private homes or "duly recognized private clubs" and sale of liquor by the drink. Consumers must order set-ups at clubs.
Liquor will be sold by packages within the state as soon as a Liquor Control commission, to be named by Carlson, begins functioning in about two months.
Caesar's Life Threatened Believed Shot Three Times
The life of Caesar, the campus Great Dane, has been threatened by an unidentified man. After being the victim of an apparent shooting Monday, Caesar is not yet out of danger. Caesar received a hole in his left flank and two holes in his left leg Monday.

said an unidentified man telephoned
the fraternity and asked how the
dog was after the accident. When
told that the Great Dane was feeling
fine, the man said, "The next time
Caesar gets loose I'll kill him."
"I heard a knocking at the door of our house at approximately 10:25 a.m." said Robert Frederick. College senior and member of the Phi Chi medical fraternity. "Members of the house opened the door and Caesar came in dripping blood from his hind legs. The blood had not coagulated so the accident couldn't have
KU Veterans Demand Heavy Penalty In Trial Of 'Axis' Sally Gillars
Veterans and non-veterans on the campus agree that the prosecutors of Mildred "Axis Sally" Gillars should show no leniency.
American born "Axis Sally" is now on trial for treason against the United States. She is charged with trying to undermine the morale of U.S. troops by broadcasting German propaganda from Berlin during World War II. She bases her defense on love for a German propagandist and the necessity for existence.
"She was actually entertaining us by playing popular American records and we welcomed her program because it was in effect going against her purpose," said Philip Schauffler, business senior and veteran of the Italian campaign.
"But whether or not she was entertaining us is not important," he added. "She is a traitor to the United States and should suffer the maximum penalty of the law."
Roderick Weltm, graduate student and veteran of the German campaign, said: "Her penalty should be heavy. She was trying to wreck our entire war effort in Europe, and an army without morale is the same as no army."
James Scott, journalism senior and veteran of the German cam-
happened more than four minutes before." Frederick said.
BEDFORD Members of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity took the dog to a veterinary where an examination of the campus pet was made. The veterinary said, "I wouldn't say that the wounds were made by a gunshot as I have seen too many similar ones that were caused by a passing car. There was no dirt or pavement marks on the dog's coat, and the holes were minor flesh wounds. No shot could be found and the wounds did not penetrate the muscle tissue," he added.
paign: "When a crisis has passed we tend to forget the perils that were present. This seems to be true in the case of 'Axis Sally' and we should not forget her treachery."
Richard Metz, engineering sophmore, commented: "Axis Sally asserts that she was always loyal to the red, white, and blue, yet she poured out propaganda against the United States. She should at least get a life-sentence."
Jim Valentine, physical education freshman, replied: "Love or not, think of the young men who died to protect our country, they certainly wanted love too!"
Philip Stevens, College junior: "I don't think the death penalty should be imposed. A long prison sentence plus loss of citizenship and deportation should be punishment enough."
"The registered Great Dane will be two years old in April, but he may not be in Lawrence to celebrate his birthday. Negotiations are in progress now to provide Caesar with a home on a farm near Eureka." Nettles reported.
"We hate to lose Caesar, but we do not have a big enough place to keep him without endangering human beings. You just can't keep a big dog like Caesar, tied up or penned in an enclosure," he added.
Toppea. March 9—U(P)-The cold wave which has moved into Kansas will be short lived, S. D. Flora, state weather forecaster, said.
New Cold Wave Will Not Last
Temperatures will rise slightly Thursday afternoon and by Friday they will move into the 50s.
This morning snow was reported to be generally falling throughout the state and cooler weather is expected tonight. Mr. Flora said the temperatures would range from 15 to 25 degrees over the state tonight. The snow is expected to end by nightfall.
The cold wave is in sharp contrast to the high of 68 degrees reported Tuesday at Anthony.
'Books Are Insight In Cold War'-Brown
By JOHN RILEY
Some of the recent literary and dramatic works offer a basis for an understanding of the break between East and West, John Mason Brown, author and critic, told an all-student convocation today.
The world is "deeply divided," he said. "We cannot pretend that the ___ world is still a 'brave new world'."
Chinese Author Will Lecture March 14
Dr. William Hung, Chinese author, educator, and lecturer, will speak on "China In the World Drama" at 4 p.m. Monday, March 14, in Fraser theater.
Dr. Hung, a member of the Harvard-Yenching Institute, was a visiting lecturer at Harvard university in 1947 and 1948. His scheduled return to Yenching university, in Peking, was halted when Chinese communists entered the city.
Born in Foochow, China. Dr. Hung received his early education at the Anglo-Chinese college in Foochow. He came to the United States for further education and was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan university in 1977. Columbia university in 1919, and from Union Theological Seminary in 1920.
He lectured for three years while secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church. Since 1922 he has been a member of the faculty of Yenching university.
Dr. Hung has served as a delegate to the Conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations, and has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Hawaii. With leaves of absence, he has lectured at Harvard in connection with the Harvard-Yenching Institute.
Dr. Hung is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Tau Phi, Phi Alpha Theta, and Sino-American Institute and the Chinese Social and Political Science association.
An American musicale will be presented by the Beta Beta chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, women's professional music sorority at 8 p.m. today in Frank Strong auditorium. The annual program will be directed by Bernadine Reed, fine arts junior.

Among the books recommended to further understanding by Mr. Brown are "No Place To Hide" by David Bradley; "The West At Bay," by Benjamin Ward; and "America In Perspective" by Henry S. Commanger.
"No literature has really dealt adequately with the world today," Mr. Brown said. Some of it can help us to see the situation more clearly.
"Our chances of survival are small without God's aid," he said. "We must make sure we haven't overextended our credit for that aid. We still must merit it."
Mr. Brown frequently brought laughter and spontaneous applause from the audience with his adjective-packed comments about contemporary books and plays. He gave brief reviews of many of them, emphasizing the ones that grew out of war experiences.
An author's first book, regardless of its merit, is seldom a true indication of his real ability, said Mr. Brown. A writer's second and third books are the real measuring sticks, Mr. Brown said.
