US Retaliates On Paper Ban
Berlin, Sept. 24.—(UF)—Maj. Gen George Hays, deputy American military governor, ordered all Soviet publications banned from the American zone of Germany today.
The ban apparently was American retaliation for a Soviet campaign to halt distribution of Western sector newspapers in the Russian zone of Berlin.
General Hays' order applied to the U.S. occupation zone of Western Germany but not to the American sector of Berlin. While a dispute was going on over the circulation of publications between the East and West sectors of Berlin, the new ban bore no official relation to it.
The British and French military governments took no action comparable to that by General Hays, and informants indicated that none was being considered.
Almost 150,000 copies of Western newspapers were confiscated by German police Thursday and 32 news distributors who handled the newspapers were ordered to go out of business.
Earlier, Russian authorities announced they had commuted the sentences of five German youths charged with anti-Communist demonstrations from 25 years at hard labor to one third that or less.
The Russians said the distributors violated an order requiring all publications in the Russian sector to be distributed through the Soviet-approved "Newspaper Sale Company of Berlin."

Former Presidents Keep Line Busy
'Murphy Plan' To Aid Rural Doctors
Topeka, Sept. 24 — (UP) A three-point proposed plan involving eventual expenditure of some $8,000,050 to bolster medical care in rural Kansas and check the state's growing shortage of doctors was revealed today to have the support of Kansas farm burcan directors.
Dr. Franklin Murphy, dean of the University of Kansas Medical center, said his plan would be offered for approval of the full farm bureau membership at its annual meeting soon in Topeka.
Government Hits Alcoa
Washington, Sept. 24-(UP)The justice department today filed proceedings to force the Aluminum Company of America to cut its size and power drastically.
Mr. Hunt said that Alcoa has been involved in anti-trust litigation for 11 years and that the justice department has "maneuvered" to avoid a trial to wait until the "eve of elections to revive and renew these old monopoly charges. . .."
The action was taken in U.S. District Court in New York. Roy A. Hunt, president of the company answered today from Pittsburgh accusing the department of justice of playing "pure election year politics" in filing a monopoly suit against Aleoa.
He said Alcoa filed a petition 19 months ago seeking to wind up the anti-trust suit. A trial date was set by agreement with the department of justice over a year ago, he said
Attorney General Tom C. Clark said that Alcoa would be given an opportunity to submit a plan to divest itself of certain of its properties with the purpose of ending its alleged monopoly in the aluminum field.

More Members For Ku Ku Club
Because of the increased University enrollment, an increase in size was voted by members of the Ku Ku's, men's pep club, at their first meeting of the year Thursday in Frank Strong hall.
The present policy of allowing three men from each organized house was revised to read four men. This also increases the allowable 25 per cent previously accorded Independents. Under the new policy, the size of the club will be increased from 80 to 180. Four members, Kenneth Hillier, Robert Arbuckle, James Silvius, and James Crawford, were elected to the executive council. New committees and their members included: pledge training, Luke Henderson, Louis Michaels; social, James McBride, Robert Glover, Earl Strong, Robert Hughes, Kenneth Grubb, James Silvius, Chester Frazier; publicity, Paul Ericson.

In addition, the pound rate for mailing books will be eight cents for the first pound and four cents for each additional pound. It is now three cents a pound, plus a small additional charge for each parcel in the shipment.
The charge for "special handling" service on parcel post will go up five cents for each weight classification.

Buying Spree Over In Union; Rebate Date Set
The largest sale in the history of the Union bookstore now is being completed, L. E. Woolley, manager, said today.
"Shortage of storage space delayed a few students in obtaining supplies. Books were stacked behind the sales counters during the rush for books," the manager added.
"Even if we had known in advance of the increased enrollment, we could not have done more than we did to fill all student orders." Mr. Woolley said. "More clerks were employed this semester than ever before, and we had all the business that we were physically able to handle.
Upper division courses had most book shortages while only one or two language courses in the lower divisions were bookless. One hundred telegrams have been sent to publishers for orders so all students can get books. Unfilled orders should be filled within ten days. Mr. Woolley asserted.
"God Looks Down To Christians"
While rebates on sales tickets and the purchase of used books were discontinued during the rush, veteran refunds, rebates, and used-book buying will be re-opened Sept. 27. Rebates for purchases this semester will start some time in January. The policy of paying a 15 per cent rebate on all purchases at the store will be continued on a five-year basis as in the past.
Three mishaps occurred during the rush for books. Two complete sets of books were stolen from students when they set them down while waiting to buy more supplies.
"All religions except Christianity are an attempt of man to reach God, while in Christianity, God is reaching downward to man." This was one of the main points of the Rev. Arden Almquist, Jr., Kansas City medical student, at the weekly meeting of the Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship Thursday night.
"Since the books were stolen before they left the store, we replaced them without further charge to the students," the manager remarked.
"The third mishap still has us wondering," chuckled Mr. Woolley. "A girl fainted and we are uncertain whether it was because of the high temperatures of the past week or the high prices of text books these days."
The store now is beginning its third year of operation. It was started in the fall of 1946.
Panel discussions and speeches by students as well as by others are sponsored each Thursday by the Inter-Varsity fellowship. It is open to all denominations.
