Red Filibuster Delays UN Vote On Balkan Action
By UNITED PRESS
Communist delegates filibustered desperately in the United Nations session today to prevent a vote on charges that Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania are endangering peace in the Balkans by large-scale aid to Communist guerillas in Greece.
But it appeared likely that the 58- nation political committee would take the showdown vote later today despite the delaying tactics of Jacob Malik of Russia and Ales Bebler of Yugoslavia.
They were submitting motion after motion on procedural questions, challenging rulings by the chair and belaboring evidence in the Greek case. Once put to a vote, the charges were certain of approval.
The U.N. Security council will be called into session tomorrow to decide whether to order Jewish troops also to quit the Gallilee territory they took from them late last month. On Nov. 4, the Security council ordered the Jews to withdraw from territory they seized from the Arabs in the Negev area of Southern Palestine.
Tel Aviv reported Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok will inform the council that "practical difficulties" stand in the way of any Israeli withdrawal from the Negev. The Jews also said they have "documentary" evidence that the British are still shipping aircraft, tanks and guns to the Arabs despite the U.N. truce.

Presidents Discuss Campus Problems
The unnecessarily swift action used by the office of the dean of men in curbing fraternity and sorority walkouts was criticized at the monthly President's breakfast held Nov. 6.
Dealing mostly in generalities, the group failed to reach any definite conclusion other than those which have been previously brought forth in student-faculty conferences.
Among those present were Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women; Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women; Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean of men, and John I. Irwin, former president of the All Student Council. In addition, presidents or representatives, of most organized houses on the campus attended.
It's Almost Better Than Voting Twice
It seems that this dignified matron had forgotten her glasses when she went to vote. She was having trouble with the prohibition amendment.
There is a story circulating about the elderly lady in Lawrence who was misinformed during the general election Nov. 2.
"Which place do you mark to vote in favor of prohibition?" she asked a student standing nearby. - answered, "Yes," lady."
When last seen, the little old lady was marching confidently back to the booth with a smile of victory on her face, ready to place an "X" in the "Yes" square.
Liquor Drought Still In Effect
Topека—(UP)—There will be no "holiday" in the enforcement of Kansas' still-in-effect laws against liau.
This was made plain by the state's governor and attorney general.
They called on local law enforcement officials to continue their duties in respect to Kansas "bone dry law."
Kansas went wet in Tuesday's election, amending its constitution after 68 years to toss out prohibition. But still in force are anti-liquor laws enacted more than three decades ago which make illegal the transportation or possession of whiskey—even the tiniest amount.
Actually, the only place a Kansan can own whisky legally is inside him—and too great a quantity there makes him liable to a drunkenness charge.
The 1949 legislature, convening next January, is expected to repeal the "bone dry law" without delay, writing a liquor control statute.
"There will be strict enforcement of the liquor law, no change whatsoever until the law is changed." Gov. Frank Carlson said. "There'll be no enforcement holiday. We are still obligated by our oath of office to continue this effort until the law itself is changed. The policy of any law enforcement officer must be to continue the enforcement of this law to the best of his ability." Attorney General Edward F. Arn said.

Keep Big Army For Protection, Russians Say
The policy set forth by Premier Josef Stalin in his recent Pravda interview was emphasized and expanded somewhat in the speeches of Soviet leaders at the anniversary celebrations.
Moscow, Nov. 8—(UP)—Russia's celebration of the 31st anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution set Soviet policy today on a course of full combat readiness for protection against alleged Anglo-American efforts to unleash a new war.
The most forright pronouncement was by Marshal Semyon Timoshenko, famous commander in the Civil war and in World War II. Standing atop Lenin's tomb in Red square, he said in the presence of the elite of communism and massed civilians:
He already had sounded the warning voiced previously by Premier Stain in his interview and by Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov at the outset of the anniversary celebration, that American and British warmongers were trying to foment a new war.
"The Soviet army must be in full combat readiness and must strive constantly to perfect itself in order to protect the Soviet Union."
He contrasted what he called the peacable, constructive labor of the Soviet Union with what he labeled the aggressiveness of the British and Americans.
The Soviets, he said, are willing to "work for peace and international collaboration on a basis of equality of powers and mutual respect."
He addressed the massed officers and troops of the Soviet army, drawn up for a great parade through the square. The army marched under a fleet of hundreds of four-motored bombers, fighters, assault bombers, and jet propelled planes. They roared low under overcast skies, the jets hardly visible.
Topeka — (UP) — Kansas Democrats, of all people, were a bit regretful today. Winning new strength in county courthouses, the state house of representatives and the state senate, they were sorry they didn't put up more candidates.
Interesting sidelights came out of the election in the 77th district. The race for state representative polled more total votes than either the controversial repeal issue or the presidential election. The district as a whole went Dewey-dry but by close margins. The vote on repeal showed a very interesting parallel to Bock's margin. The vote for representative was: Bock, 2,491; Erhart, 1,847. The vote on repeal was: No, 2,467; Yes, 1857.
If the party had done so, in all likelihood more Democrats would have won public office in Kansas.
"The Far-Off Hills," an Irish comedy, will be the next presentation of the University players. It has been scheduled for Monday, December 6 at Fraser theater. Thomas M. Shay will direct the play, which is from the Abbey theatre of Dublin.
Democrats Gain In Legislature
Late returns, with most of the counties heard from, showed that six of Kansas' 40 state senators would be Democrats where only one member sported the donkey emblem before. There'll be at least 27 Democrats in the House, a minimum gain of nine.
Players To Give Comedy Dec. 6
As it was the minority political group which normally gets only the leavings in the heart of America Republican stronghold grabbed a little of the white meat.
C. L. Huxman, well-to-do stockman from Sublette and brother of Kansas' last Democrat governor, ousted Sien. Buell Scott of Johnson, the man with more lawmaking service than any other state legislator. In the house, the Democrats knocked out the two leading Republican candidates for speaker of the 1949 legislature—Rep. Blake Williamsmian bowing to John D. Beasley in Kansas City, and Ralph Bolinger of Bucklin losing to W. R. Penland of Dodge City.
Bob Bock Likes Home Folks As Well As They Like Him
Robert Bock, College senior, popular in his home legislative district, Stafford county. For the second straight term he will be a member of the state legislature, elected by a margin of 643 over Everett E. Erhart of Stafford.
Bock is fond of his home. "Stafford county is a wonderful place to live," he said. "The people are mighty kind and they sure do things to you. I had just gotten out of the hospital when I started campaigning but I recovered very quickly once I got out there. There's nothing like home
Perhaps one of the reasons that Bock is so popular with his "home folks" is that he is always trying to learn the opinion of Stafford county voters. He will conduct a series of meetings in various parts of his district during the Christmas vacation to determine just what his constituents think of the various issues to come before the state legislature. He hopes to conduct the meetings on a question-and-answer basis.
The "baby" of the last Kansas legislature, Robert Bock of Macksville who served at the age of 21 while still a University of Kansas student, won re-election as a Democrat in Stafford county.
Bock's first try at politics in this normally Republican state two years ago showed that Democrats can win. He narrowly edged out the opposing candidate by 115 votes at that time. This year, the victory margin was greater. Bock carried four out of five Democrats into county offices with him.
cooking and home folks to help you get well."
Bock's hometown newspaper did not help his campaigning any by placing his advertisement under the sponsorship of the Republican central committee. The paper made amends by sending out postcards stating that Bob actually was running on the Democratic ticket.
Commenting on the general election as a whole, Bock quoted the much-used phrase of Abraham Lincoln, "You can't fool all of the people all of the time."
