The contracts come from various departments of the federal government, from the state of Kansas, and from private industry, Dean Carn explained.
Professors and scientists are given a chance to expand things that they have in mind. These men think up the ideas and the students do the work under their guidance, Dean Carr said. The students thus get a better education.
They have an opportunity to develop research talents under the guidance of faculty men and it gives the students a topic for their master thesis.
As a result of the foundation's program, Dean Carr said, the University turns out a greater number of scientists trained in research. These graduates are able not only to contribute to private industry, but can do work for the safety of the country.
Dean Carr emphasized that the safety of the country depends upon the development of such highly trained graduates in the universities. Dr. J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering is executive director of the foundation, Dean F. J. Moreau, School of Law, is secretary, and Karl Klooz, bursar, is the treasurer.

Student In On Write-In
Harry Truman's wasn't the only surprise victory in the elections.
When several students decided to write fellow-student "Honest" Todd Seymour on the local ballot for constable, they considered it a joke. However, the joke took wings, and the Seymour bandwagon began rolling on the Hill. With true campaign enthusiasm, the students had cards printed urging Lawrence citizens to "Vote for Honest Todd Seymour, War Veteran." These cards were then properly distributed at the polls.
Early indications of a landslide vote for Seymour were confirmed yesterday in an official notification of his election. "Honest" Todd promised to fulfill his obligations as a peacemaker.
Seymour is a junior in the School of Journalism.

Alumna Given One Chance
Doctors have given Doradeen Perry, 45, only one chance to recover from an automobile accident which occurred July 17. The one chance lies in the skill of a brain specialist at Johns-Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, Md. Miss Perry has been supervisor of music in the Kinsley, Kan., public schools for two years.
She suffered a broken neck and after the accident was in an oxygen tent because of pneumonia and other complications. She has undergone two brain operations in a Wichita hospital.
Miss Perry has been unable to move since the accident and was unconscious for about two months after the accident. She is now able to chew and swallow food and move her eyes, but she can make no facial expression. The surgery at Johns-Hopkins is expected to relieve pressure from her brain.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alva Perry, have drained their financial resources due to the long illness of their daughter. To assure the services of the specialist it would take between $1500 and $2000. A chartered ambulance airplane would take $700 which is the only transportation the patient could survive according to a Wichita doctor.
Miss Perry, while at the University, played first trombone in the band, was band librarian, and president of Sigma Kappa sorority. She was a counselor in the Midwest music camp during the summers of '44 and '45, and a member of Pi Lambda Theta. She received a masters' degree in music education in 1946.
The Perrys are formerly of Coffeyville, but lived in Wyoming at the time of the accident. They returned to Wichita to be with their daughter. Donations toward hospital bills and the trip to Johns-Hopkins have been made by townspeople of Coffeyville and Kinsley, and the Sigma Kappa active chapter, and alumnae of the sorority in Kansas City, Wichita, Lawrence, and Tooseka.

Receive Reports Of Russian Aid To Israeli Forces
Paris, Nov. 5- (UP) - The American intelligence service has received a number of apparently well-founded reports indicating that Russia has been supplying arms and airplanes to the Israeli forces by way of an air route from Czechoslovakia to Palestine. it was learned today.
Sworn statements have been filed by several deserters from the Israeli air force with American intelligence agents here, detailing operations of the aerial supply route to Palestine, the United Press learned in reliable sources.
The deserters also have given the same information in sworn statements to Dr. Ralph Bunche, American Negro who is acting Palestine mediator for the United Nations since the assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden.
There can be little doubt, it was said, that arms and airplanes supplied by this route aided the Israeli in their recent successes against the Arab forces in the Negev and in Galilee.
One pilot who said he deserved from the Israeli air force after spending several months flying the secret supply route from Czechoslavakia to Palestine with arms visited Dr. Bunche at the mediator's Paris hotel on a recent night.
He dictated a statement to Dr. Bunche's personal secretary in which he indicated that as many as 200 or more aviators now are engaged on the shuttle supply line to Palestine.
This pilot now is being kept under cover in Paris by American agents, who are protecting him against possible reprisals. It is understood that he is an American citizen, as many of the men working the supply line are said to be.
This particular pilot was said to have deserted because he received during his service with the Israeli force a total of only $100, instead of the $1,000-a-month he had been promised. It was understood that a number of other American fliers also have deserted for the same reason.
According to the reports received by American agents here from this pilot and from other sources, Israel, with the aid of Russia, has built up a substantial air force.
Paris, Nov. 5—(UP)—The newspaper Figaro said today that Generalissimo Josef Stalin and other high Soviet officials presided the past June over the exploding of two test atomic bombs in the Caspian sea.
The newspapers' copyrighted dispatch said the two bombs exploded early and used only 25 to 30 per cent of their potential explosive power. Premier Stalin ordered a new technical research group to build a new bomb by this autumn, the article said.
Figaro attributed the information to a Captain Silov, who it said formerly was attached to the Russian general staff. He is now in South America working as a chemist, the dispatch said.
Figaro said the test took place on the Mangyshlak peninsula in the Caspian sea. The atomic material, weighing 150 grams in each bomb, was said to have come from Soviet "Oak Ridge" plants at Altai in the Ural forests and Slouidianka, neat Lake Baikal, in Siberia.
