Dozens of murders in Kansas every year are either undetected or detected so that prosecution is impossible, according to Dr. J. J. Lattimore, Topeka pathologist and a member of the state legislature, who conducts many autopsies in Kansas each year.
'Kansas Murders Often Undetected'
His statement appears in "The County Coroner in Kansas," an article in a recent bureau of government research bulletin. The article was written by Newell N. Jenkins, College senior.
The county coroner is a carryover from a medieval English practice, the article said. The Kansas county coroner law was written in the 1880's and has never been changed except for salary increases.
The inefficiency of some county coroners has allowed many murderers to go unpunished," the article states. "It is the general belief that many county coroners lack sufficient medical training to perform their duties efficiently. Also, since it is an elective political office, it is subject to pressure groups."
Jenkins suggests that "a medical examiner system be set up where there would be state control over technical personnel. This system would do away with political control and would require that an autopsy be performed if there is the slightest possibility of illegal or unnatural death."
He Missed Only By Two Doors
Bartlesville, Okla.—(UP)—A Bartlesville man awoke, walked into his front room en route to the doorstep for his morning paper and found a stranger on the floor in front of the fireplace, sound asleep.
The man obligingly took a blanket from his bed, laid it over the stranger, and read his paper.
When the man awoke, he rubbed his eyes and said:
"Ow-w-w! I feel awful! Where am I?"
"You're not at home," his host replied.
The dazed intruder found he lived two doors away.
"I'll never touch it again," he told his neighbor.

Framingham, Mass.—(UP)—From a business man in far-off Bagdad, Iraq, the advertising department of the Framingham News received the following request; "I am interested in your paper and I would like to advertise in it. Please send me your full details, rate cards, sample copy, etc."

Mission To Aid Tourists
The Institute of International Relations at Stanford university has outlined the establishment of a student survey mission in Europe for students who will travel abroad during the summer. The outline was contained in a letter to the All Student Council.
The letter suggests that students planning such trips should be briefed on conditions in the areas they plan to visit by professors or anyone who has the necessary information.
Since the time is limited, anyone interested may write Cliff Forster, president, Stanford University Institute of International Relations, Paolo Alto, Calif., to obtain location of field co-ordinates and the addresses of interested Europeans. Additional information may be obtained at the University from Ralph E. Kiene, engineering junior.
The idea of the mission is to coordinate the efforts of students in an attempt to learn European problems and the cause of misunderstandings between Americans and Europeans. The combined results of such action will be published in newspapers and books.
Forty-seven students will go on two geology field trips during the summer session.
Geologists Plan Two Field Trips
One group of 12 men, under the direction of Dr. Robert Dreyer chairman of the geology department will go to the mountainous part of Montana near Helena. They will camp on the trip and will also visit points of geologic interest to end from Montana.
Prof. Cecil G. Lallcker will be in charge of 35 students going to the University's permanent camp near Canon City, Colo. The camp is used every summer and is within easy travelling distance of many points of geologic interest.
Geology majors are required to take at least one summer field trip. Elementary field work must be done in mountainous areas where geologic strata are exposed.
O'Connor Lectures On Tax Service
With the aid of prepared slides, Mr. O'Connor, an all-American football player for Stanford in 1933, demonstrated the use of the 1948 Federal Tax Service which his company publishes.
An illustrated lecture on the mechanics of a tax reporter service was presented to a business school audience recently by R. C. O'Connor, district sales representative for Prentice-Hall Publishing company.
The former Green Bay Packer player holds a law degree from Stanford University. With headquarters in Dallas, he covers the area west of the Mississippi river, including Alaska.
