Federalists Map World Peace
How to prevent a destructive war of atom bombs and bacteriological warfare which seems powerless to prevent under present conditions was discussed at a meeting of the United World Federalists Tuesday.
W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science and John Malone, instructor in journalism, based the world's only hope on world government.
"I base my reasons on a self preservation level." Mr. Malone said, "From such weapons as the atomic bomb, and other scientific developments, there is no civilian escape. World government is the only solution to save the world."
All people agree that we do not want war." Mr. Sandelius said, "The question is how to take the next step to prevent it. I have received several letters from friends proposing different plans. A plan for the setting up of a United States of the World superimposed on the United Nations was one of the plans. Others feel that we should scrap the United Nations and begin again with a new organization.
"We are looking for something to disarm the world," Mr. Sandelius said. "I recently heard of a plan for a World Disarmament authority. Russia might be more willing to take part in this."

Democrats Take Control Of Congress
By UNITED PRESS
Democrats today captured control of both houses of congress.
The United Press tabulation at 11 a.m. showed the Democrats had elected 19 candidates in contests for the 32 senate seats involved in Tuesday's election. With 30 holdover Democrats in the senate, they were assured of the 49 seats needed for a majority of the 96-member senate.
At 10:15 a.m., the United Press count showed that the Democrats had won 234 house seats, 16 more than a majority. They were leading in 26 other districts.
Democratic nominees also were leading in five of the unsettled senate races. Victory in all of those would run their senate total up to 54.
Shortly before the Democratic house majority was nailed down, Sen. J. Howard McGrath, chairman of the Democratic national committee, issued a statement saying his party was sure of the house.
The 80th congress, which President Truman condemned as the "second worst" in history, had 45 Democrats and 51 Republicans in the senate. The present house lineup is 243 Republicans, 184 Democrats and two American Labor party members. Six house seats are vacant.
If the Democrats hold their own in the races where they now lead, they will have 260 seats in the house and 54 in the senate.
"This insures that the liberal progressive program of legislation proposed by President Truman will now be carried out with both houses of the congress safely in Democratic control," Mr. McGrath said.
SAM Plans Tour Of Organ Company

Experts Are Eating Words, Maybe Hats After Making Rather Hasty Statements
The commissions and committees of the two schools will compare activities. An informal recreation hour will precede the banquet, which will be held at 5:30 p.m.
By HARMAN NICHOLS
Washington, Nov. 3—(UP)—Today was a swell day to swallow a million words or eat a meal of a fat cow.
The experts in Washington wrote their stories in advance Tuesday. Some made their pieces an open letter to Tom Dewey, telling how the world ought to be run. Others wrote a fond farewell to Mr. Truman.
Then the boys retired to the Press club lounge to listen to the returns over the radio. Along about midnight, many of the scribes retired hastily to their offices to do some fancy hedging in substitute yards.
Washington, the home of presidents, was a sleepy town today—same as it was election day. Extra details of cops were called out for duty Tuesday night—in case of a wild celebration, but the city was so quiet the chief sent 'em home before 11 p.m.
Persons in the district, of course, are interested in who lives in the White House. But they have nothing to say about it since they are denied the right to vote.
I talked to a few of them Tuesday and they are pretty burned up about it. Maurice Cullati, waiter, for one. He lives less than 50 feet from the Maryland line. If he lived over there he could vote.
"I could see a polling place from my front window," he said.
John H. Wilson, a garage mechanic who works in the district but votes in Maryland cast a vote, all right, but he didn't like the way they do things over there in Montgomery county, Md.
The county advertises a secret ballot.
"But when you step up to get your ballot," says John, "A clerk shouts out: 'John H. Wilson—Democrat.'"
SDX Gets OK From Council To Publish Owl
By a vote of 10 to 8, the A.S.C. named Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, as publisher of the University's official campus humor magazine. Sigma Delta Chi also was granted permission to call the magazine The Sour Owl.
The council also voted that more than one humor magazine may be published on the campus, although the Sour Owl will be the only official publication.
Thomas Milligan, representing a group which sought official status for a magazine and permission to use the name Sour Cwil, announced that his group still will publish, and that the name of the magazine will be announced soon.
Dorothy Scroggy, secretary, and Robert Thayer, inter - fraternity council representative, presented a report on the National Students association with the estimate that it would cost the University approximately $975 to join and play an active part. The council voted to send observers to regional and national conferences before making a final decision. Doris Then, College junior, and Austin Turney, College senior, were appointed to attend the regional conference in St. Louis, Saturday Nov. 13, as observers.
Ernest Friesen chairman of the traditions committee, announced that the student council of Kansas State college will be guests of the A.S.C. at a banquet Thursday. The banquet is an annual tradition designed to promote friendship between the two schools.
Craig Hampton, fine arts senior, and Robert W. Davis, engineering senior, new council members, were sworn in by Patrick Thiessen, president. They fill vacancies caused by the resignations of George Lowe, District IV, and Hugh Johnson, District III.
When asked by a member of the audience, if science would stop us ing the word "photosynthesis," Dr van Niel replied, "No, it serves a good purpose and is just what it says it is, a system dependent on light."
Dr. C. B. van Niel, professor of biochemistry at Stanford university's Hopkins marine station, discussed "The Comparative Biochemistry of Photosynthesis," at the Sigma Xi meeting last night in Bailey hall.
W Lit N
Chemist Talks To Sigma Xi
Dr. van Niel presented evidence that green plants are the climax of evolution toward self-sufficiency in the use of sunshine for energy.
Evidence has been found. Dr. van Niel reported, that certain pigmented bacteria make use of a similar type of photosynthesis. It is accomplished by a photochemical decomposition of water.
Modern green plants, with their chlorophyll, said Dr. van Niel, utilize the energy from sunlight to break down molecules of water. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide are changed by the plants into plant structures. They discard oxygen in the process which maintains the balance of nature and constitution of air.

By study of the photosynthesis process, Dr. van Niel said, it is possible to postulate the "cell of life" through an evolutionary line of enzymes.
