KU Graduate Believed Dead
Miss Betty Charles, '43, is believed to have died in a plane crash Monday on a farm 10 miles west of Co-Jumbus, Ohio.
Civil aeronautics authority at Columbus, Ohio, said that Mr. Blanchard left Jamestown at 4 p.m. Dec. 4, and should have reached Dayton in three hours at normal cruising speed. At 5 p.m. a "patchwork fog" drifted over the Great Lakes area and visibility over central Ohio dropped to one-eighth of a mile, the U.S. weather bureau reported. C.A.A. started an investigation of the strenuous wreckage of the plane and inspectors indicated the fog apparently had caused the accident.
Known to be aboard a plane piloted by W. J. Blanchard, General Motor's executive, Miss Charles has been missing since Dec. 4, when she left Jamestown, N.Y., with her employer and a second General Motors employee. Miss Vivian Johnson. A four-state search has been made for the missing aircraft, whose destination was Dayton, Ohio.
Miss Charles is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren M. Charles. Carned. A younger sister, Ellen, is a College freshman.
Miss Charles majored in Spanish while at the University and since her graduation has been an active member of the Alumni association. She had also taken special courses in aeronautics at the University and has been employed by the Aeroproducts division of General Motors at Dayton since graduation.

Bone-Dry Law Kicked Around
By UNITED PRESS
Kansas looked today to its supreme court to untangle conflicting opinions of district judges as to the validity of the state's bone dry, anti-liquor law.
Last week District Judge Edgar Bennett at Manhattan upheld constitutionality of the statute. He found Ed Springer, a farmer, in contempt of court for violation of a permanent injunction against keeping intoxicating liquor at his home.
The injunction was issued after Kansas last month voted out its 68-year-old constitutional prohibition against hard liquor.
Monday at Wichita, District Judge Ross Mccormick freed Abe Schooler from jail in granting a habeas corpus writ. He had been charged with violation of a city ordinance for bidding possession of liquor, and some attorneys quickly claimed the judge's ruling tossed into the legal ascan Wichita's liquor ban based on the bone dry law.
Coming up in supreme court to tomorrow is Dickinson county's answer to an application for habae corpus in behalf of an Abilene man charged with possessing liquor and maintaining a nuisance.
Mr. Heath in his petition for a supreme court habeas corpus asserted the bone dry law was unconstitutional as a result of the Nov. 2 election ending the life of the prohibitory amendment. He said his client was being held unlawfully.
Attorney Bruce C. Heath brought the test case for Richard Manning, who has been jailed and who, pleading not guilty, failed to make the $500 bond.
