UN Proposes New Berlin Plan
By UNITED PRESS
Argentina's Juan A. Bramugli discussed today with Western and Russian delegates to the United Nations what was described as a "new and final plan" for a compromise settlement of the Berlin crisis.
Berlin residents in the Americans, British and French sectors will vote Sunday in municipal elections, but the Russians have forbade such balloting in their area of the city.
While the president of the U.N. security council made his new mediation attempt in Paris, German Communists apparently were preparing to proclaim a new Berlin regime, and the last vestiges of unified four-power control of the German capital seemed about to disappear.
Bramuglia's new plan, which was approved yesterday by the six small so-called "neutral" nations of the security council, calls for a joint committee of Berlin experts to work out, under the auspices of the security council, a scheme for introducing the Soviet eastern mark as the sole currency in all Berlin. The Russian blockade which has cut off all supplies by rail, highway, or barge from the Western zones to the western sectors of the city would be lifted at the same time that the currency plan was made effective.
The Israeli government was expected to file a formal application for U.N. membership today, the anniversary of the U.N. partition decision a year ago which created the Jewish state. The partition decision later was revoked by the U.N. but the State of Israel was proclaimed anyhow when the British mandate expired last April. American delegate John Foster Dulles said he hoped for a Palestinian settlement soon along the lines of the original partition decision.
In Tokyo, indications were that the executions of former Japanese Premier Hideko Tojo, who ordered the Pearl Harbor attack, and six other Japanese warlords, may be only a few hours away. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters set up a 24-hour watch to be prepared to inform the press, which will not be permitted to witness the hangings, when the executions have been carried out. It appeared that Tojo and the others might die at dawn tomorrow Tokyo time (late today in the United States).
A strong Chinese Communist force estimated at 100,000 men was trying to force a river crossing 125 miles north of Nanking in a push toward the Nationalist capital. At the same time an American navy plane was flying Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, wilde of the Chinese Generalissimo, to the United States to make an urgent appeal for U.S. aid.
An article written by Leonard Snyder, journalism senior, will appear in a future issue of The Western Horseman, a magazine published in Colorado Springs. Colo.
Life Of Comanche Told In Article
Entitled "Comanche Still Lives," the article relates the life story of Comanche, a U.S. cavalry horse now preserved in Dyche museum.
Comanche and a Pawnee Indian scout were the only survivors of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, commonly called "Custer's last stand," in 1876.

Oilman Violates Law Daily Just To Park His Cadillac
Houston. Tex.—(UP)—W. W.'s Cadillac was there again today, parked in its usual bus zone with the usual pinkish $5 traffic ticket under the windshield wiper.
To Houston police, already sagging under this booming city's traffic burdens, it meant that millionaire oilman Wesley W. West would once again shell out $5 a day for the privilege of parking his shiny automobile
It started eight months ago, police inspector W. P. Haley remembered when buses snarled downtown traffic because they had to halt in the street at the Sterling building stop. A big Cadillac blocked their regular zone.
"So," said inspector Haley, scratching his head, "I had a talk with Mr. West. He was nice — reminded me that police were doing their duty by tagging his car. And he said he was doing his part by paying the fines."
Inspector Haley looked at the ground. "And he's perfectly right—perfectly within the existing law—and doesn't have to move that Cad-
Every day for a week traffic officer Barney Friery smacked the owner with a $5 ticket. Every day it was promptly paid, but the traffic situation got no better.
Other Houston police, in their trim two-toned blue and gray uniforms, prefer not to talk about Mr. West. Inspector Haley confided, however, that the force had been caused a little "embarrassment and inconvenience" by his action, although he has enriched departmental tills by approximately $1,000 in parking fines.
Luckily, the inspector observed,
the traffic situation is saved on certain days. Mr. West is out of the city on business frequently, and when he's gone, traffic machinery moves slick as a whistle.
Although the $5 tickets get paid without a whimper, the oilman has made one complaint to the police. With so many people lined up waiting for buses, the entrance to the building is so clogged he can hardly get to his office.
Husbands Scream Protests Over Poll By Labor Bureau On Clothing Bills
Baby Sit, Play Detective, Drive A Car-That's The Taxi Driver's Job
illace of his one inch once a ticket has been issued."
"We do everything from minding babies to putting out laundry," says one Lawrence cab driver. Often housewives take a taxi to the grocery store and give Junior his outing at the same time. It falls to the versatile cab driver to baby sit while mother shops.
One driver was asked by a housewife to dump the garbage, while she
By UNITED PRESS
Indignant husbands from coast to coast gave the U.S. Labor department the razzberry today for saying married men spend more for clothes than their wives.
Nelson Named To New Group
Dean J. H. Nelson of the Graduate school has been appointed to the advisory committee on graduate studies of the Institute of International Education, New York City. The first meeting will be held Thursday and Friday, Dec. 16, 17 in New York.
This advisory committee will act as a selection agency for graduate students in carrying out the provisions of the Fullbright bill. This bill enables American students to study abroad on the proceeds from the sale of surplus war materials.
Comedian Bob Hope summed up the general male attitude when he cracked: "That sounds like a poll taken in the Fiji islands. It certainly isn't so around Hollywood where most men are wearing dungarces to pay their wives' clothes bills."
Most wives polled by the United Press agreed with the labor department's findings. Its survey of the nation's 34 largest cities showed that the average husband spends up to $159 a year on clothes, while his wife can get along on about $139.
"It's impossible," snorted Albert Watkins, a construction worker in San Francisco. "Besides, I don't believe surveys anymore since the election."
The husbands found a sympathetic champion in Mrs. Carola Mandel of Chicago who was named one of the nation's 10 best-dressed women last year and whose husband is president of a large department store.
"When they say $136," inquired commentator Gabriel Heatter, "Do they mean for a year, or for a week?" He thought the survey must have been made by a woman.
"Of course the wives spend more," commented F. A. Montgomery, a fuel oil salesman in Philadelphia. "I'm sorry this phone call isn't televised. If you could see my pants, you wouldn't have to ask that question."
"I'm afraid I must disagree with the labor department," she said. "Have you ever seen a man trying to keep his wife in silk stockings seven days a week?"
Mrs. Mary Schwaller of Cleveland, a secretary, admitted that she spends about 60 per cent of the family clothing budget on herself.
"But then," she added, "I have a very good husband. He never throws any of his clothes away."
However there was another passenger, a mortician, who performed the ritual.
Sometimes strange requests are made by passengers. A 95-year-old woman wanted to be taken to "the stone house with two doors and driven to the north door." Calling upon his detective powers the driver finally ascertained she wanted the Social Service house.
New innovations such as the two way radio also bring about strange situations. One illustrates the fast service the two way radio gives the taxi business. Thinking that he would be able to dress while waiting for a taxi one LawRENCESON called a cab and was caught without his trousers.
Besides enabling fast service the two way radio allows drivers to report accidents quickly, will give train schedules to be bewildered passengers, and report the current movies to the undecided ones.
In connection with the last service, Cab 25 tuned in to find what shows were playing. In replying the dispatcher said, "25 has a 'Date with Judy'."
The range for these radios is ten miles. Any more is prohibited by law since it might conflict with the surrounding stations in Kansas City and Topeka.
Sunflower Women's Gym Class Tonight
The regular meeting of the women's gym class at Sunflower will be tonight from 7:45 to 9:30 in the Village gymnasium. Mrs. Betty Hallberg will conduct the class.
Mrs. Betty Lou Collins, Sunflower representative of the University said that wives.of all students from Sunflower are invited to the meetings. The women do calisthenities, play volley ball, run races and get general physical education instruction, Mrs. Collins said.
There are no fees for the gym classes.
Archery Club To Initiate With Skits, Buffet Supper
Initiation of new members of the Archery club will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, at the home of Miss Joie L. Stapleton, associate professor of physical education, 1046 Vermont street.
Skits will be performed by those been initiated as the initiation ceremony. After the ceremonies a buffet supper will be served.
$5.000 Gift To KU For Lectureship
A gift of $5,000 from Mrs. Logan Clendening of San Marino, Calif., the Kansas University Endowment association to establish the Logan Clendening memorial lectureship in medicine was announced during vacation by Chancellor Deane W Malott.
The annual lectureship at School of Medicine will honor late Dr. Logan Clendening of Kank City, Mo. He was a member of the class of 1907 and served on the medical faculty for many years prior to his death in 1945.
Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, dean of the School of Medicine, who will choose the lecturer each year, said that although Mrs. Clendening left the subject open, the lectureship would probably be limited to the history and philosophy of medicine, of which Dr. Clendening was a great scholar.
Mrs. Clendening is the former Dorothy Hixon, daughter of the late Frank P. Hixon, Wisconsin lumberman, whose endowment made possible the Hixon laboratory for medical research at the K.U. medical center in Kansas City.
Dr. Murphy described the gift as a contribution to better medicine. "It and other lectureships enable the school to offer students contacts with great medical personalities from the entire nation."
Dr. Clendening was a nationally known physician. His daily routine appeared in metropolitan newspapers that he wrote. He was presented to K.H. after his death.
In discussing the expected repeal of the Taft-Hartley law, Mr. White said, "Labor again can have the closed shop and will be permitted to contribute funds in political matters. One of the biggest mistakes in the law is that it is punitive and not corrective. Out of the 45,000 workers in New York who voted the point, 44,000 voted to ream their union leaders. This proves the law could not have been to protect the worker from his union leaders."
When asked about the prevention of jurisdictional disputes, he said that they never would be abolished. "The jurisdictional dispute is on
"The jurisdictional dispute intricate and essential phase to the system of free enterprise," he said.
"We'll get rid of the Taft-Hartley law and this will appease labor to some extent," he said. "But labor is abused in the future, wouldn't be surprised to see a labor party formed."
Commenting on John L. Lewis he said that Mr. Lewis was probably more of a "free enterprise" be liever than a lot of the capitalists.
