WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2. 1949 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE SEVEN Government Research Bureau Issues Citizens Pamphlets "An Introduction to Kansas Finance: State Government," is the title of a new pamphlet by Jack F. McKay, research assistant to the bureau of government research, whose office is in Frank Strong annex. The pamphlet is the most recent in a series on various phases of governmental research. It contains the total income and expenditures of the State of Kansas for 1947. Visual graphs have been used to show the effect of the state's expenditures on the average citizen. For instance the cost of government in Kansas for each person was $4.59 per month. The public safety cost equaled one bar of soap, state hospitals equaled one package of cigarettes and education cost five gallons of gasoline. Mr. McKay is now working on audits of first and second class cities in Kansas of which there are approximately 100. He will also do a pamphlet on counties later. Others in the citizens pamphlet series are "The United States and the United Nations," Deane W. Malott; "Political Party Platforms," (out of print); "The Life of a Bill," Rhoten A. Smith, and "Natural Resources: Their Relation to Power and Peace," Frank T. Stockton. The bureau supplies 150 public libraries and 225 high school libraries with their publications. Special work has been done on the city manager plan for certain cities requesting that service and now researchers are working on that plan for Lawrence. The bureau did research work on the reorganization of congress for the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce and worked for 18 months on a report on laws affecting minors for the Juvenile Code commission. Dr. Ethan P. Allen is director of the bureau of government research, which is an independent division of the University, but financed by appropriations from the University. The staff of the bureau is made up of men teaching in the political science department who devote part of their time to governmental research. The 15 members of the staff are either faculty members or students. Training schools for public officials are arranged by the bureau in cooperation with the University extension division. Three police schools and one city manager school have been held. These have provided training for public officials already on the job similar to refresher courses provided doctors in the state. Washington—(U.P.)-Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, Republican, Michigan, says the Senate should think twice before giving its approval to special commemorative stamp issues. Senator Fights Stamp Issues The post office doesn't have to have Congressional okay before putting out a special batch of stamps to commemorate the anniversary of some community, person or event. But hardly a month passes in which a congressman does not propose that something or somebody be honored with a gaudy new stamp. The post office puts out about 20 such issues a year. They are the delight of stamp collectors and sell heavily. Vandenberg criticized "wholesale" printing of special stamps after the Senate unanimously recommended a couple of issues to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Annapolis, Md., and the 20th anniversary of Alexandria, Va. He did not oppose those issues. But he said that henceforth the post office committee should hold back stamp bills, weigh their merits and hand those it approved to the Senate in one package at the end of each session. Three Attend YMCA Regional Meeting Edward Chesky and Jay V. Grimm, College seniors, and Ned D. Linegar, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A. represented the University Y.M.C.A. at the Regional Weekend Conference at Park college, Mr. Linegar announced today. The theme of the conference was "Europe—Crucible of War or Peace?" Leaders at the conference were Dr. Samson Soloveitchik, professor of Russian Civilization at the University of Kansas City; Mr. Robert Root, Pulitzer prize winner in 1937; Jay William Hudson, professor emeritus of philology at the University of Missouri, and Kenneth Boulding, research professor at Iowa State university. Chicago—(U.P.) — It costs Chicago $77,000,000 a year to feed and support its rat population, an expert said the rat problem could be solved largely through nothing more complicated than the city-wide use of ordinary galvanized garbage cans. Chicago Rats Cost Plenty GI Allowances Exempt From Tax Erase those worry lines from your brows, boys, your $75 a month does not have to be reported on your tax forms. Gratuity payments to veterans are tax-free and need not be considered in computing income tax, Sherwin L. Derby, contract representative of the local Veteran's Administration office, said recently. These tax exempt payments include: Subsistence allowances for veterans training in schools, on farms and on-the-job; payments by V.A. to be applied to veterans' G.I. loans; readjustment allowances; disability compensation and pensions; grants to paraplegic veterans to design homes for wheel-chair living; and World War I emergency officers' retirement pay. New Sun Dial Tells Exact Time Aided by Dr. Robert W. Hartley, astronomer and mathematics professor at Southwestern university Amo has devised a sundial with 110 different faces to tell accurate time each day of the year. Not only that, but he has come up with a sundial wrist watch and a pocket watch for the same purpose. The idea is that of Robert G Amo, a retired Kansas oil lawyer now living in Memphis, Tenn. Memphis, Tenn. — (U.P.)—A Memphis inventor has come up with a new-type sundial. Since sun time changes only about a minute every three or four days, he produced a series of sundial faces on a belt. The faces were dated and each time the sun changes the belt is rolled over another notch, thus giving the correct time on a regular schedule. Realizing that regular sundials, one of man's oldest methods of telling time, were exact only twice a year. Amo worked from there. Amo has applied for patents on his invention and believes they will be fool-proof-if, the sun shines when you want to know the time.
