Pope Pius Says Hungary Trying To Oust Church
BY UNITED PRESS
Pope Pius XII accused the Communist-dominated government of Hungary today of trying to understaine the Roman Catholic church in that country. He referred to the trial of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty.
The dispute between the Vatican and the Communist sphere reached a new degree of fervor today at an extraordinary secret consistory of cardinals. The pontiff called it to denounce the trial of the Hungarian private, who was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The Pope told the sacred college of Cardinals—or 16 of the princes of the church who were able to attend on short notice—that the confession of Cardinal Mindszenty was forced, and that his trial in Budapest was "artificial and captious."
In the trial, he said, the Hungarian regime used the cardinal as a means of attacking the Vatican by charging it with directing the people to oppose the Communist government.
The pontiff said the physical condition of the cardinal at the trial was "inexplicable except as a result of secret influences which may not be publicly revealed." Reports had circulated that the Hungarian private was drugged to break down his will.
Hungarian charges against the Vatican are "completely false," the pope said. The Vatican, he added, did not plan the political domination of nations, nor did it issue instructions to oppose the Hungarian regime.
In another repercussion from Cardinal Mindszenty's trial, the U.S. minister to Hungary, Selden Chapin, said in Budapest that he would leave for Washington next week. His recall was demanded by the Hungarian government as the climax of an uncriminious exchange between Washington and Budapest.
London: Great Britain was reported taking an "understanding" view of the dilemma in which Norway was caught—pressure from neighboring Russia to stay outside the Atlantic pact and pressure from Sweden to join a Scandinavian pact. H. V. Lange, Norwegian foreign minister, talked with Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin in a follow-through on Mr. Lange's extended consultations in Washington.
Dublin: Foreign Minister Sean MacBride said the friction between northern and southern Ireland is an "international problem," and must be solved before the Irish republic can consider joining the North Atlantic pact.
Quito: An "Orson Welles" broadcast on a mythical invasion of Ecuador from Mars terrorized the populace around Quito, even as Mr. Welles' original back in 1938 frightened some of the people of the eastern seaboard. The Ecuaduran panic gave way to anger. The people moved on the station from which the fantasy was broadcast, burned it and six persons were killed.
Navy Unit Enters Rifle Contest
The University N.R.O.T.C. unit has entered its targets in the William Handolph Hearst Rifle competition, Lt. Comdr. W. A. Mann, assistant professor of naval science, announced.

The firing, which consists of five rounds from all positions, standing, kneeling, sitting and prone, held at the Military Science building Feb. 10. Those who entered the match are; Jack Gove and William Meier, business juniors; Theodore Tober, pharmacy junior; Kenneth Harris, engineering freshman; and John Cain, education freshman. The team is coached by M./Sgt. H. H. Knott of the N.R.O.T.C. unit.

Water Doesn't Taste Funny- That's Just The Smell, Son
By JOHN S. HILL
Does the water you drink taste funny?
It shouldn't. It isn't the taste that's funny, it's the odor.
So said Robert Mounsey, chief chemist of the Lawrence water pumping station. Mr. Mounsey laid all blame for the odd-tasting water to the "accumulation of organic matter which the melting sleet and ice have
carrying into the Kaw river during the past three weeks," and added that, "the taste doesn't come from it," referring to other words a lot of stuff has been washing into the river and it makes the water smell funny.
Vegetation washed down by the river, stagnant water formed in ice jams, and organic decomposition under the ice, have caused the water taken in at the Lawrence plant to appear as "a kind of brown ink." Mr. Mounsey said.
The water has been murky for three weeks, he said, but only lately has it been so bad that the odor could not be removed.
"We are using 150 pounds of activated carbon a day to absorb the odor," he explained. "Chlorine is used to burn out the organic material. We then remove the chlorine. All impurities are being removed from the water, though the odor, which comes from the organic material persists."
"It's the first time in three years that chlorine dioxide wouldn't remove all odors," the chemist commented. He added that the softening process has been decreased by one-half, because as more softening is done, there is more chance to pick up odors.
The present condition is expected to pass in two or three days, Mr. Mounsey asserted. Lawrence is not as badly handicapped by this situation as other cities in this section, particularly Topeka and Atchison, and until the past few days has handled the purifying process without any trouble.
A new chemical compound, chlorine dioxide, two-and-a-half times as powerful as chlorine, is being used to treat the water now.
Students might find some consolation in Mr. Mounsey's statement that the condition will pass fairly quickly. In 1936, he said, Lawrence had 12 inches of sleet and a similar situation of odoriferous water lasted six weeks.

Women at the University have contributed $963 to the K.U. Women's Memorial Scholarship fund, Polly Owen, fine arts freshman, reported recently.
Coeds Give $963 To Memorial Fund
The fund was started after two women students, Geraldine Cuddy and Fredricka Ekblad of Hoisington, lost their lives in an auto accident while enroute home for the Thanksgiving vacation.
Miss Owen said that solicitation of the faculty and off-campus friends of the two young women would begin next week. The idea of the scholarship fund is to memorialize women whose college careers were cut short by tragedy by enabling other women to complete their education.

Architect Chapter Granted At KU
The Kansas chapter of the American Institute of Architects approved the forming of a University student chapter in the near future at a meeting in Topeka Feb. 5.
At the dinner meeting of the chapter Dr. Twente spoke on the "Place of Architects in School Building Plans". He stressed the fact that school boards should employ architects as constant consultants and have one at all times on the building program. The purpose of this would be to insure greater safety in the public school buildings.
Senate bill number 76 introduced by Senator William T. Beck of Holton was discussed. This bill would regulate the practice of architects, provide for registration of architects, and the establishment of a state board for the examination and registration of architects and provide penalties for its violation.
Those who attended the meeting from the University were: George M. Beal, professor of architecture; Dr. J. W. Twente, professor of education; Verner F. Smith, associate professor of architecture; Leland R. Johnson, Richard Good, and Charles Stribie, instructors in architecture.
The German club will hold election of officers Thursday, in 402 Fraser hall. All students in German II, or those who have completed one semester of German are invited to attend the club meetings.

Of
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 14—U(P.)A Kansas liquor control bill, already passed by the senate, may reach the floor of the state house of representatives today.
Committee sources indicated a state liquor monopoly was out—as far as the committee is concerned. That contention is promised a stiff fight on the floor when the bill reaches the full body.
The 19-man state affairs committee yesterday revealed it had adopted three major changes in the senate version of the measure that would repeal a 68-year backlog of dry legislation in the wheat state. The committee planned a final session on the liquor bill today, and probably will present the bill with its recommendations to the house shortly before noon adjournment.
Summarily, the control bill would permit the possession and use of intaxicating liquors in Kansas, and would allow package sales. The fate of the liquor by the drink provision, passed by the senate, is in doubt. The house committee ruled it out.

Liquor Bill To House
2. Provide a two per cent "enforcement tax" (in addition to the $1 per gallon tax designed to furnish an estimated $3,000,-000 annually to the state general fund) which would go equally to city and county.
3. Declare towns voting dry last November still dry until their status was changed by local option.
The three committee changes would:
1. Ban drinking in places open to the general public, confining it to private homes and "duly recognized" clubs.
The committee's action generally followed the suggestions of Gov. Frank Carlson.
