STUDENT NEWS PAPER
The formation of a K.U. chapter of the United World Federalists was started at an open meeting of University students and faculty Wednesday in the Union.
Formation Of UWF Chapter Gets Started
The purpose and program was outlined by Reiff and John R. Maine, instructor in journalism.
Lee Reiff, College freshman, was elected temporary chairman and Edgar Sherbenou, senior, was elected secretary. Plans for a K.U. chapter will be started immediately. Reiff said.
"The purpose of U.W.F. is not to try and destroy the United Nations but to establish a limited world government within the U.N." Reiff said.
The idea was provided by James Burns of the United World Federalists who spoke at the University last week.
1) The removal of the veto power in military matters (arms, manufacturing, atomic control, etc.) leaving policing forces to the U.N.
The U.W.F. program is:
2) Transform the general assembly into a representative assembly, with the power to make world laws in the limited field of action. (This representation would be formed by combining population, production and literary factors.
3) Laws enforced on individuals (individuals responsible for atomic bomb manufacture, or research in bacterological warfare to be arrested by a world F.B.I. and punished as individuals by the international court.)
4) This can be done through the present United Nations. (The charter provides that 2/3 of the assembly, or any 7 of the 11 council members may call a charter revision conference.)
The door would be left open to any country wanting to join the world government. Reiff said.
Fifteen members of the University faculty, and the adult U.W.F were at the meeting.
The next meeting will be announced by chairman Reiff.
The School of Fine Arts will present eight University students and a visiting student from Lawrence Memorial High school in the regular weekly recital at 3 p. m. today in Frank Strong auditorium.
Ensemble, 4 Solos In Recital Program
Blanch Pierson from the high school will present a piano arrangement of "Prelude in A minor" (Debussy). Kathryn Waltire, fine sophomore, will sing "Ruhe Sussliebchen" (Brahms).
Robert Ausherman, fine arts freshman, will play a clarinet solo,
"Arabesque-Fantasy" (Jean Jean).
Merle Freeman Oglesby, fine arts sophomore, will play a piano solo,
"Sonata. Op. 2. No. 2." (Beethoven).
Crafton To Talk At Iola
An ensemble composed of Vincent Bleecker, first violin; Betty Lou Wells, second violin; Dale Bryan, viola; John Ehrlich, cello; and Dorothy Shoup, piano, will present the first movement from "Piano Quintet" (Cesar Franck).
Allen Crafton, professor of speech, will address Iola teachers on "How Culture Came to Kansas" at an annual dinner tonight.
Professor Crafton will speak on this same subject to members of the Kansas City, Kans., Chamber of Commerce May 7.

These two pictures are the only ones that have not been placed on the records in the registrar's office.

win by "several votes." His South Carolina colleague, Sen. Burnet R. Maybank, said "it loks like we're going to win after this long, long fight."
The measure won house approval late yesterday 260 to 106. The vote was hailed by repeat advocates as "the first step in the emancipation of housewives from their mixing bowls."
President Truman reportedly favors the bill and will sign it if it clears the senate. The legislation would remove all federal taxes and handling fees on oleo, thus permitting housewives to buy it cheaper with the coloring already added.
However, the bill would not affect the situation in 22 states where state laws prohibit the manufacture and sale of colored oleo.
In the senate, the bill will be sent first to committee and later brought up on the floor. Republican whip Kenneth S. Wherry of Nebraska said he thinks the senate will act on the measure despite the legislative log-jam.

British two-pounders and mortars laid down heavy fire into the positions at the northeast of the city. Jews replied with mortar fire and heavy firing from automatic weapons.
Haganah forces also were reported advancing from their positions to the south of Jaffa.
Royal Air force Spitfire, fighters five of which late Wednesday attacked Jewish positions with rockets, circled over the same positions again today, but did not attack. British authorities said they were for "moral effect."
In the harbor of the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv, just north of Jaffa, two British destroyers stood by as ships were unloaded, making against illegal Jewish immigrants and arms imports still exists.
Both Arabs and Jews received with joy the news of the United Nations agreement for a truce for Jerusalem. It halted a mass evacuation of Arabs from the Holy City.
Two Faculty Men Study Gas Plant
Two University faculty members attended a conference Monday on the proposed 80 million dollar chemical plant to be located at Garden City. They are Drs. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the chemistry department, and J. O. Maloney, chairman of the chemical engineering department. The meeting was held in the office of the Kansas industrial development commission in Topeka.

Effective settlements of the Palestine question and German peace are to be decided Saturday. The pre-conference committees have worked out proposals to be discussed. Debate at the conference will be on the solutions offered at the committee meetings Tuesday and Wednesday.
Palestine Issue First
The Palestine issue will be first on the agenda. The pre-conference committees brought out three proposals, one majority and two minority.
The majority resolution is to partition Palestine, and to enforce it by an international force. France, Russia, Poland, and Yugoslavia are for partition.
The United States, Canada, and Latin American countries favor Palestine trusteeship. The area will be under U. N. administration until Atlas and Jews reach a settlement that is agreeable to all concerned.
The Arabian delegate called a unitary democratic state. During the transition for warfare to democracy, the delegate proposed that provisional coalition government backed BDI took place into effect. Spit On Group
The East and WYest split evenly in pre-conference debate on the German peace settlement.
The majority report, backed by the U.S. and other Western powers, favors establishing a federated German state, except for the Rhineland which will be internationalized. All reparations are to be cancelled except coal for France from the Sahr. Occupation troops are to be withdrawn, and an international police force composed of small nations is to be substituted to keep order.
Eastern countries led by Russia, proposed that the general assembly require Germany to pay 10 billion dollars worth of reparations to Russia. The minority report also asks that a U. N. trusteeship should govern Germany to facilitate reparations, as established in the Yalta and Potsdam agreements.
University students will represent nations. About 130 are taking part in conference discussions. About 200 to 300 high school students will attend. All students at the University are invited to watch proceedings.
