Liquor Control Nears Finish In House
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 16 — (U.P.) — Rep. Grover L. Dunn, 60-year-old Arkansas City Bank president, explained the liquor control bill today in an all-day performance before the Kansas house of representatives.
According to administration floor leader Paul Shanahan, it was the calm before the storm. Shanahan predicted amendment attempts and the voting would not come before tomorrow.
Dunn, chairman of the state affairs committee which recommended passage of the bill, will explain the changes his group wants in the senate passed version. Book thick copies of the private enterprise liquor bill were printed yesterday and distributed to house members.
Most of the representatives burned midnight oil last night in their hotel rooms studying the text of the bill in preparation for an expected battle with a bloc which favors state monopoly of the liquor traffic.
Administration spokesmen expected the monopolists to introduce a motion to substitute their state-owned-stores measure for all after the enacting clause of the senate bill. Dunn's committee, with only three abstentions in 19 votes, recommended that the monopoly bill be billed.
Other legislative fronts: The rural health bill came back to the house today with a major senate amendment. The senate refused to appropriate funds for the measure from the state sales tax fund as asked by the administration. Anti-Carlson representatives were expected to ask house adoption of the senate amendment, which would provide the necessary 4-million dollars from the general fund.
Veterans bonus legislation survived a sharp attack yesterday in the senate when Sen. Harry S. Buxidrick JR., (R. Sylvan Grove) contended "These boys did not fight a Kansas war."
Buzick said the federal government had made ample provisions for World War II veterans.
The senate turned down his attempt to kill a house-approved resolution to appoint a committee to study the question, 22 to 14.
And the state income tax bill which would bring advantages of the split-joint return to Kansas, entered the house hopper today after passing the senate without a dissenting vote.
The senate passed by a vote of 7 to 2 the $8,626,560 rural health unit to expand doctor training at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The measure now goes back to the house for a check into whether that body will accept a senate amendment. The upper chamber re-vamped the bill to furnish the appropriation from the state general fund instead of the sales tax surplus as provided by the house.
Without opposition, the senate passed and sent to the house a bill to revise Kansas income tax laws, adopting the split income, joint return system patterned after the federal plan.
Reese's Condition Satisfactory Today
Dr. J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, was reported a satisfactory condition today after being admitted to Lawrence Memorial hospital Feb. 12, suffering from an intestinal ulcer.
He was given four blood transfusions when he suffered a hemorrhage.
Two students from the School of Pharmacy have each donated a pint of blood for the transfusions. Other students of the school have also volunteered in case more transfusions are required.
AVC, UNESCO To Show Movies
The first of a series of foreign films will be shown March 1 by the American Veterans committee in co-operation with the local U.N.E.S.C.O. chapter.
Edwin Kirchoff, A.V.C. president, said today that no admission price had been set yet.
AWS Selects Theme Topic
"The Major Question" has been decided upon as the theme of the coming Career conference, Tuesday March 15. Wednesday, March 16 and Thursday, March 17. The conference is sponsored by Associated Women Students.
It will concern the opportunities offered to women for using the knowledge they have gained in their major fields. Guest speakers will lead discussion groups related to "The Major Question" on Wednesday and Thursday.
The planning committee under the direction of Margaret Meeks, Education senior and president, includes: Grace Vaniman, College sophomore; Jean Dressler, College sophomore; Shirley Rice, College sophomore; Lorraine Ross, College sophomore; Bernice Brady, Education junior; and Nancy Kastman.

News Not Red Telfel Says
Although the American press "is bitterly anti-communist, it carries an enormous amount of Communist propaganda whether it likes to or not," Emil L. Telfel, assistant professor of journalism, told the Newman club Tuesday night.
"The American press is . . . not even leftish." Mr. Telfel said, "but it will continue to give favorable publicity to Communist ideas if they are spread by seemingly reputable front organizations."
"A front organization is the secret net of the Communists," designed "to catch persons who would never participate in party agents." Mr. Ttelel explained.
"The Progressive party was the most important space-getting Communist front," he added. "During the recent presidential campaign the speeches of Henry Wallace paralleled the Communist party line. He was a kind of American Benes, willing to lead all real liberals into the trap of Communist totalitarianism.
He warned against "labeling every liberal and every liberal idea as being Communist," adding that "when aggressive unionism or popular social reforms are called Red, the Communists are permitted to take credit for ideas which have wide popularity.
"Nor should the foes of communism become the tools of reaction," Mr. Telfel advised. "Because Peron and France say they are against Communism does not make them any less the dictators. The cloak of anti-communism does not cover a multitude of other sins."
Mr. Telfel explained that the Communists have received favorable publicity because they use "the strength of others for their causes."
Guests attending the meeting included the Rev. George Towle, chapain of the Newman club, and M. Carl Slough, associate professor of law. Mr. Slough will talk to the club in march on "The Spanish Question."
Classical Club To Hear Lind
Dr. L. R. Lind, associate professor of Latin, will give an illustrated talk on ancient inscriptions to the Classical club at 8 p.m. today in 210 Fraser. Everyone who is interested in classical languages or history is invited.
Professor Beal's 'Heliodon' Aids Natural Light Studies
Letters from the Universities of Notre Dame, Florida and Denver requesting the specifications and photographs of the Outside-Inside Heliodon have been received recently by George M. Beal, professor of architectural engineering.
The heliodon is a sun machine used in studying the problems of orientation of a building as a whole with $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
natural light. The problems of city planning, slum clearance, and recreational areas may be analyzed in relation to light. Structures with individual rooms for work or play, study or sleep may be tested for the right amount of light. The machine has a motor driven light and built in camera.
By use of models and recording instruments additional values may be uncovered for architecture. Proper spacing of building in regards to sun light may be estimated by the use of the heliodon.
The name, Outside-Inside Heliodon is derived from the fact that one is able to view the lighting inside as well as outside the model of the building being tested.
Mr. Beal designed and built the heliodon at the University just prior to World War II. At that time it was the only Outside-Inside Heliodon in existence. Since then the University of Oregon has built one according to Mr. Beal's specifications.
The U. S. Department of State, in preparing a picture story of architecture trends for the overseas program, included the picture story of the machine.
In the 1948 edition of the book, "American Building," Mr. Beal is given recognition for his contribution to the field of architectural engineering.
New rulings issued by Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, to state headquarters for local board observance, highlighted these changes in draft policy;
Draft Regulations May Be Changed
1. The older men of draft age (19 through 25) will be called first. Previously, each state has had its monthly quota and has called up its required number of men, even if it had to dip into lower age groups than did some other state.
2. Draft registrants may volunteer for service in any of the armed forces so long as the army's cancellation of draft calls is in effect. Up to now, when a man was tapped for the draft, he could not sign up voluntarily since his voluntary service could be for less than the 21 months required for draft duty.
General Hershey's recommendations were made in letters sent to all state and territorial directors.

CORE Sees Law Revision As Aid To Issue
That education and revision of Civil Rights laws will provide partial solutions to the problem of inter-racial conflicts was expressed by "Brotherhood—the core of the problem," presented on KTOP Tuesday night by the University chapter of the Congress on Racial Equality.
An actual interview with a college student made by a social scientist, showed the chief difficulty in handling the problem intelligently to be student's fear of outside criticism. His approach toward Negroes shifted from unquestioning prejudice to gradual realization that Negroes whom he met on an equal plane were completely acceptable as friends outside the classroom.
Another feature of the program showed the Negroes' constantly insecure position, characterized by uncertainty as to whether they will be snubbed or greeted by white acquaintances.
Ernest Friesen, College junior, was appointed chairman of a committee to discuss plans for a liberal arts extension plans. Other members are Bob Bennett and Ed Stollenwerck, College juniors, and Bill Conboy, College senior.

Bugler Heads Debate Club
of the 1948 graduates and one this month are going into industry. Two of this month's new doctors or chemistry are going into government laboratories operated by the Atomic Energy commission.
Dr. Raymond C. Moore, professor of geology and research director of the State Geological Survey, has been appointed vice-president in charge of the geology section of the American association for the Advancement of Science.
Dr. Brewster expects the number of Ph.D. degrees earned in chemistry to set another record in 1949. Besides the four now obtaining degrees there are five more candidates for June and possibly more next fall.
He expects the upward trend to continue as there are now more than 70 graduate students in the department.
"Now that our faculty is at full planned strength the principal limitation on numbers doing graduate research is space," Dr. Brewster said. "We are forced to be highly selective in accepting graduate students because Bailey laboratories
The pre-war high for doctorates in chemistry during one year was five in 1940-41.
Two geology faculty members have received professional honors.
About half those earning Ph.D. degrees in chemistry at the University of Kansas are choosing careers in teaching, Prof. Ray Q. Brewster, chairman of the chemistry department, said today.
