Refuses Answer To UN Council On Berlin Crisis
Paris, Oct. 15—(UP)—Russia defied the United Nations security council today, serving notice that it would not answer questions on the Berlin crisis.
Andrei Vishinsky broke his sit-down strike in the security council to announce the Soviet intention of ignoring any, council interrogation on Berlin.
That he even spoke at all' in the first council meeting on Berlin after a nine-day recess was one of the big surprises of the U.N. session. He had taken the attitude that he would attend the meetings on Berlin, but would say nothing.
"It is useless to think that the Soviet delegation will bite on this bait, get stuck in this glue."
The chief Russian delegate, who had announced he would have no part of the council debate of the Berlin case, asked for the floor after the renewal of the hearing on Western charges that Russia threatened the peace in Berlin.
Then he defiantly rejected a council request to answer two questions about the Berlin crisis. The council was seeking more information about the gravest issue vet to come before the U.N.
Vishinsky denounced as a trick a plan to ask each of the Big Four powers for more information. Disdainfully he announced:
Vishinsky spoke after little members of the council had appealed to the Big Four to settle the Berlin crisis among themselves. They professed fear that if such a solution was not reached "very soon," war would break out "sooner or later."
The council formally requested the big powers to submit detailed information on the breakdown of their negotiations in the Berlin crisis. It showed no inclination to hurry a judgment, as the Western Big Three desired.
Chest Drive Bogs Down
"The Community Chest drive is going slow since everyone seems to be short of cash, especially the veterans." Hugh Gibson, chairman of the men's division of the Community Chest drive, said today. He explained that most of the veterans were waiting for checks from the government before giving their donations to the drive.
"We want to encourage the representatives of the Community Chest to have pledge cards signed by those who wish to contribute but cannot do so at present," he added.
Contributions in downtown Lawrence have been encouraging. Reports from localities outside Lawrence indicate slow progress.
Campus workers will intensify their efforts particularly at the booths in Frank Strong hall and the Union. Indications are that the results in the organized houses are better than in the booths but that even there they are not meeting expectations.
The deadline of the drive has been extended to Wednesday night, Oct. 20.

Here's A New Kinsey Report: Only This One's On Liquor
Bv HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Oct. 15—(UP)—If our government isn't smarter than some newspaper men I know, the British are going to keep on giving us the business in the liquor industry.
The question before the alcohol tax unit of the bureau of internal revenue is: Shall scotch made in the U.S. be called scotch or "scotch type?" American distillers claim our stuff?
is as good as England's. Not only that, but if our booze is three years old, we say so right on the label. It's the law. But the imported liquor comes in without any signs pointing to age or quality of content.
Suffice it to say that the boys on the alcohol tax unit had better be pretty sharp when they take the blindfold test. Else our fellows in the liquor industry are going to continue under what they consider "unfair competition" from up north and across the sea.
Anyhow, the Kinsey distillery asked the press in for a sipping contest. The idea was to prove that the tongue, if it is not calloused, can tell one brand from another, and how old it is.
The boys who are supposed to spend more time behind a typewriter than in front of a bar, and 'sually do, submitted (under protest) to the old blind fold test.
There was scotch, bourbon, and rye. Any blind-taster could tell that. Well, to get down to cases and a sip by sip report on the dozen crocks of domestic and import (understand, it was all in the interest of promoting Americanism):
A man in a white apron lined up a dozen bottles, and the gentlemen of the press. At his elbow was a tabulator who jotted down the reactions.
The next thimbleful wasn't so bad. Sip number three was even better. And ditto four, five, six . . . 12.
But things were not going according to plan. The newsmen were supposed to turn up their noses at the cheap imported drinks and wartime products of America.
Hadn't the man giving the party given a lecture before we started? Didn't he tell how the honest American distiller not only put his facts on the label but also stuck to the time-honored custom of aging stuff in the wood—like it says in the books? And don't those British and Canadians age their spirits in metal things "as big as this room?"
The first sirp tasted pretty sour, most of the fellows said.
The newspaper boys put tongue to all kinds and brands and could not tell one from another.
The ground water supply of northeastern Kansas for industrial and domestic uses is the object of studies being conducted by V. C. Fishel, in charge of the state and federal Geological Surveys, ground water division.

What, He'd Never Heard Of The World Series, Blizzards, Or The Palm Room?
Ice cream sodas, baseball, and snow were all new to Donald R. Swain. College junior, when he came to the United States from Sydney, Australia. He liked what he tasted, saw, and felt.
Being from sunny Sydney, Swain had seen snow only in the movies. and read about it in books. He first experienced it in Kansas City in March 1945, shortly after he arrived in this country. He crid it.
1945, shortly after he arrived in this country. He said it reminded him of a "cold, wet powder puff." But he liked it.
Ice cream sodas rank high with Swain, also. He was amazed to discover the straws in milk shakes "stand straight up" here, whereaus in Australia they fall because the drink is so thin.
Swain attended Graceland college in Lamoni, Iowa, two years before entering the University in September. He is majoring in sociology.
"It will be very useful in Australia when I go back," he said. "A
great deal of research can be done in my country, especially in the field of population."
The population of Australia, according to Swain, is only comparable to that of New York City, although Australia is the same size in area as the United States. He was surprised to find so many small towns in the Midwest—without skyscrapers and millions of roofs.
people. Swain said that transportation in Australia is chiefly by bicycle or motorcycle, and "not in the pouche of kangaroos!"
