Reds Hint At Truman Visit
Moscow, Nov. 10—(UP)—Russian newspapers displayed prominently today a Tass dispatch from Washington quoting a Times - Herald commentator as saying President Truman might possibly come to Moscow to talk with Premier Josef Stalin.
Eben Ayers, a White House press secretary with Mr. Truman at Key West, Fla., said the president had "no such plan in mind."
Diplomatic observers in Moscow interpreted publication of the dispatch as another straw indicating Russian hopes of a closer agreement with the United States since President Truman's election.
All Russian comment regarding the election has indicated that Soviet leaders believe Mr. Truman's administration offers greater hope of agreement between the two nations than would election of a Republican president.
The commentator was quoted as saying Mr. Truman was so determined to carry out his peace program that he would go to Moscow if Stalin would not leave Russia.
The student court handed out $16 in fines Tuesday when it heard 15 parking violation appeals. Three of the appeals were reversed, and of the 12 affirmed, ninie were judgments by default.
The Soviet press seldom publishes unconfirmed reports unless some special significance is attached to them.
Students Fined $16
The court reversed one appeal each by Dean C. Banker, Orin L. Strobel, and Andrew A. Zahner. It affirmed one appeal each by Robert S. Clark, $2; Maurice L. Wells, $1, and Andrew A. Zahner, $1.
Appeals affirmed by default were those of B. W. Barker, one, $1; Richard H. Colburn, one, $1; Horace V. Edmonds, three, $3; Melvin Muroff, one, $1; and William O. Richardson, three, $6.

State May Call Special Session
Topeka, Nov. 10—(UP) — Sen.
Riley W. MacGregor, state legislature,
said today he would ask Gov.
Frank Carlson to call a special session to repeal the state's "bone dry" law.
He said he believed it should be left to the regular session meeting in January to work out a liquor control measure. Under MacGregor's plan, there would be no regulatory measure on the books pending the regular session.
Argues For World State
Like religion, world government is logical and practical, according to Dr. W. W. Adams, president of the Central Baptist seminary of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Adams addressed a meeting of the United World Federalists Tuesday.
"My religion demands that I do something about world government." Dr. Adams said. "One of the fundamental beliefs of the church is that the human race is one brotherhood
"Material possessions and social organizations, such as government, are always a means to an end. They are of value in so far as they contribute to the advancement of human personality."
Dr. Adams blamed ignorance for retarding the advancement of world government. Selfishness and habit were also named as holding back the advance of world unity.
"Some believe preachers should be concerned only with the Bible and not interpret social and economic problems," Dr. Adams said.

The Girls Want To Know One Thing: What Can You Do With .92 Of A Man
The chances of a man finding feminine companionship on the campus aren't so bad as the statisticians first thought.
Thus the men have actually a 15 per cent better chance of getting a date than they first thought. Or to put it another way, the women have lost their "driver's seat" advantage by the same amount.
The ratio of men to women in the student body of 9,750 is 3.44 to 1. But a check of the student directory just published shows that 1,665 men and 194 women are married. By removing them from the dating eligibles, the current "boy meets girl" ratio drops to 2.92 to 1.
Before the war when there were few married students the ratio was steady at slightly more than 2 to 1.
There are 8.6 times as many men students married as women. The question of what the wives are doing is easy. They're taking care of the children or holding a job to help keep dad in school. Some are doing both.

'Child Welfare Not Adequate'
Present day facilities are not adequate to correct juvenile delinquency problems in Kansas, Floyd E. Sappington, acting director of the Receiving home at Atchison, told Phi Delta Kappa members Tuesday. Phi Delta Kappa is a men's education fraternity.
"The departments and institutions for child welfare in Kansas are under-staffed and over-worked," Mr. Sappington said. "There is no place, except in expensive private institutions, where a child can receive psychiatric treatment."
