Design Class Arranges Tea
The Christmas tree which is revolving slowly in the center of Frank Strong hall rotunda was decorated this year by members of two classes in freshman design.
Bedecked with golden copper ornaments and shimmering in the beam of green and gold floodlights, the tree decoration is the "brain-child" of Carlyle H. Smith, instructor in design.
Mr. Smith conceived the idea of using material similar to the copper pan scrubbers found in a dime store. Fitted around the copper mesh balls are silver globular pendants.
Lighting arrangements were taken care of by the buildings and grounds department as was the outdoor lighting on the trees near the center doors.
Peace Officers To Have School

Invitations have been sent to all city, county, and state law enforcement agencies in Kansas, and to Missouri. Nebraska, and Oklahoma state organizations. In 1948 100 peace officers attended.
Arrangements have been made for instructors from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, from local law enforcement agencies, and from the University faculty. Efforts are being made to bring in speakers representing the National Safety council, the Narcotics Enforcement division of the U.S. Treasury department, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the State Attorney's office, the State Highway department, the State Highway Patrol, and the Kansas Bar association.
500 Applaud Male Chorus
By MARVIN L. BOWLANDS
BARRYD, VIAMPS
Sixteen members of the American Male chorus and their conductor, Lewis Bullock, presented a widely varied program before about 500 people in Hoch auditorium Wednesday night.
The feature of the program was the "Ballad for Americans" (Earl Robinson) which was well received by the audience. The chorus performed the long number very well. It recalls American history from the time of King George III and Paul Revere to the "machine age."
The Negro spiritual "Sit Down, Servant" was sung instead of "Song of the Vagabonds" (Friml) as scheduled. It resembled more truly the Negro spiritual than does the usual presentation of a spiritual.
Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" suffered from the usual complicated over-arranged treatment. With the melody shifting from one part to another so often, the result was not too appealing.
For the most part, the baritones and basses were excellent. They were much better than is usually heard in choruses. However, the tenors tended to be weak, and lack spirit.
A favorite with the audience was the traditional cowboy song "Whooie, Ti Yi Yo, Git Along Little Doggies." It was light hearted and sung with the proper spirit of fun and abandon. Paul Westbrook sang the bass solo.
Burton Faringer's interpretation of "Water Boy" (Avery Robinson) was especially appealing. Stanley Ebelenson accompanied the group in four numbers and didn't distract from the chorus.
Spy Papers Say Czech Invasion No Surprise
Washington, Dec. 16 — (UP) — The famous "spy papers" disclosed today that the state department got a tipoff on Hitler's plan for conquest of Czechoslovakia six months before the Nazis moved into that country. They also showed that state department officials sought to hush up 1938 trade talks with Hitler to spare the administration political embarrassment.
The second installment of 26 state department documents, released by the house un-American activities committee, also included one paper said to have been copied in Alger Hiss' handwriting.
The documents, allegedly stolen from state department files 10 years ago by a Red espionage ring, showed that:
1. The ring's interest centered on two main fields of American foreign policy-Europe and the Far East.
2. French officials as early as 1938 thought that war between the United States and Japan was likely.
The papers were surrendered to the un-American activities committee by Whittaker Chambers, confessed ex-Communist spy courier. Mr. Chambers claims they were among some 200 confidential documents given him by Mr. Hiss, a former state department official who was indicted in New York yesterday for perjury in connection with the spy case.
Highlight of the documents was a disclosure that high state department officials had urged that talks of a trade agreement with Nazi Germany be kept secret until after the 1938 congressional elections.
This recommendation was contained in two memoranda to the then assistant secretary of state, Francis B. Sayre, from officials of the department's trade agreements division. One of the officials suggested that the long-range benefits of a trade pact with Hitler might help the Democratic party in the 1940 presidential race.
Diplomatic informants said preliminary secret trade talks were held with Germany in 1938. They said the then secretary of state, Cordell Hull, broke off the discussions.
