Truman, Franks Discuss Israel Policy Breach
By UNITED PRESS
Britain went direct to President Truman today in an attempt to mend the breach in Anglo-American policy on Palestine.
The British foreign office announced that British Ambassador Sir Oliver Franks in Washington had an appointment with the president today.
The purpose of the conference, a spokesman said, is to attempt "to make plain the attitudes of the British and American governments in hope of making possible a joint effort to solve the Palestine conflict."
Meantime, Egypt and Israel sat down at a conference table for the first time on the Mediterranean island of Rhodes to seek a formula for permanent peace in Palestine.
Anglo-American relations have sunk to the lowest point in nearly a year over the Palestine issue. Britain openly has criticized the United States for failing to urge Israel to comply with the United Nations security council ordering troop withdrawals in the Negev area of southern Palestine.
At Lake Success, U.N. diplomats speculated that the differences between the two principal Western powers over Palestine might blossom into a far-reaching rivalry for political position in all or most of the Middle East.
Acting Palestine mediator Dr. Ralph Bunche, who presided at the peace talks, said the outlook was "very promising."
In Palestine itself, the fighting fronts were quiet. Tel Aviv dispatches said the Israeli army has begun to demobilize and the general belief there is that the war is over.
As a first step, all skilled citrus fruit packers in the Israeli army have been demobilized to help bring in the crop, one of the principal crops of Israel's economy.
Curator Will Talk Jan.18
How the migration of prehistoric animals tells the modern scientist about physical changes in the earth's surface will be discussed by Dr George Gaylord Simpson in a University lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 18 in Lindley auditorium.
Dr. Simpson is curator of vertebrate paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City. His lecture topic "Continents in the Age of Mammals," will be sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
Through the evidence provided by fossils, Dr. Simpson will show how changes in conditions on the earth are reflected by changes in the physical properties and distribution of land animals. Problems involved include the nature and duration of intercontinental connections, shifts of climates and the theory of continental drift.
Zoologists To Hear Rutgers Instructor
Dr. Charles A. Leone, instructor of zoology at Rutgers university, will speak on "Serological Systematics; result of bio-chemical studies of evolution," at 7:30 p.m. today at the regular meeting of the Snow Zoology club,
Phillip Persky Elected
Semantics Club President
Phillip Persky, graduate student,
was elected president of the General Semantics club Wednesday.
Other officers elected are Agnes Lilley, University High school teacher, Vice-president; and Myrta Anderson, business junior, secretary-treasurer.
Tom Scofield, high jump star and first year law student, spoke on methods of relaxing the muscles in emergency situations.
UNESCO Meeting In Frank Strong
U. N.E.S.C.O. is not planning a triple feature tonight. It is all a mistake, according to Bruce Wilder, president of the organization.
"Notices have appeared in the Daily Kansan at various times announcing three different rooms for our program tonight," said Wilder today. "But we are meeting in only one, 106 Frank Strong." The confusion resulted from too many publicity men.
J. H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate school, will speak on "The Fullbright Act."
University Gets Research Project
A research project in physics with the fundamental aim of providing better data for the treatment of cancer by X-ray and radium was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Barney Goodman, reactor of Kansas City, Mo., and member of the board of directors of Memorial hospital there, is financing the study with a gift of $850. Dr. Frank Hoecker, associate professor of physics at K.U., will direct the project.
Leon Berube, graduate student, has been named research assistant for the project which is expected to take about six months. Last June Berube received a B.S. degree in engineering physics but is now preparing to enter medical school with the goal of becoming a radiologist.
Purpose of the study is preparation of a table of information that X-ray specialists now obtain either through laborious calculation or by estimation and experimentation. The standard table will be of value in treatment of internal cancer.
"The radiologist must give a sufficiently strong dose of X-ray beams to kill an internal cancer," Dr. Hoecker said. "But at the same time the dose must be controlled to protect the healthy tissue in which the cancer is embedded. The radiologist does this by directing X-ray beams at the diseased point from different angles."
However radiation extends outward from the primary X-ray beam through healthy tissue.
Senator Capper On Way Home To Fight Liquor
Washington, Jan. 13—(UP) —Former Sen. Arthur Capper headed back to his home state of Kansas today, pledged to carry on his long crusade for prohibition.
The 83-year-old Republican legislator said goodby to his friends and colleagues at the completion of 30 years of senate service. He did not run for re-election last year.
He still is convinced that the nation should return, to the prohibition it abandoned in 1934 after more than 13 years of "noble experiment."
Senator Capper expressed the firm belief that Kansas voters will eventually reverse their action of last November when they threw out prohibition they had kept for 68 years
He said that, if need be, he could crusade again through his newspapers for return of prohibition. He pledged to continue striving for a "better, cleaner, more wholesome and more prosperous America."
The Kansas senator, oldest member of the upper house, received the tributes of his colleagues and prohibition leaders at a testimonial breakfast yesterday.
Mr. Capper had served in the senate since March 4, 1919. Former Kansas Gov. Andrew F. Schoeppel, his successor in the senate, was among the first to praise his record.
Senator Capper never relaxed his fight for prohibition in the senate. In 1947 he succeeded in getting a bill reported out of a committee to bar national liquor advertisements as "seductive billings—beguiling impressionable youth."
Musicians To Toss Annual Snow Ball
Approximately 250 persons will attend the ball, which is being held for the first time since the war. Dick Lading and Wayne Adams are in charge of the tickets.
The University band and symphony orchestra will hold their annual dinner-dance, the "Snow Ball," from 6:30 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Union ball room.
Richard Bennett will be toastmaster.
