KU Day Program Discussed At Jewish Union Meeting
New Injunction Against Miners Issued Today
The program, to be held May 15, will consist of a picnic, a dance, a tour of the campus.
Washington, April 21 — (UP) — Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today issued a preliminary injunction against the United Mine Workers staging further work stoppages.
pages. The order was handed down after the government argued that a strike still is in progress in the soft coal fields which imperils the nation's health and safety.
John L. Lewis asked the soft coal miners Tuesday to return to work after thousands of them staged a new walkout in protest against the conviction and fining of Lewis and the United Mine Workers for criminal contempt, but most of the miners were still out today. It was explained from the coal fields that Lewis' order apparently reached the miners too late. Industry sources hoped that the miners will be back in "a day or two" and that normal production will be resumed then.
Goldsborough emphasized that the new injunction will be in force on a day-to-day basis and will not necessarily run for the full 80-day period permitted by the Taft-Hartley law. The law requires such injunctions to be dissolved as soon as a dispute is settled.
The request for the 80-day injunction was made by Assistant Attorney General H. Graham Morison. Goldborough first overruled a motion by the U.M.W. to dissolve the present temporary restraining order. Morison said the new injunction is necessary until it is determined whether the miners actually have returned to work.
The union contended that the temporary order should be set aside because its dispute with the operators over pensions has been settled.
Goldsborough said he thought his past decision finding John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers guilty of criminal and civil contempt had "answered any possible defense that could be made against the preliminary injunction."

is imperiled by this. "The court has no difficulty in saying it will issue a temporary injunction."
"The court," he said, "is of the opinion that the testimony (in the contempt trial) clearly showed that a strike exists, that it clearly shows that the national peace and safety is imperiled by this strike.

Representatives from almost 50 University organizations have been invited to meet at 4 p.m. today in the Pine room of the Union to discuss plans for organizing a permanent World Student Service Fund committee.
Robert Stewart, co-chairman of the out-going W.S.S.F. committee, will preside.
A meeting of representatives from organizations which have decided to participate in the new all-campus W.S.S.F. committee will be held later. At this meeting a board and chairmen will be elected for next year.
Police Explain Traffic Rules
Confusion resulting from a recent ruling of the All Student Council, the removal of stop signs around Lawrence, and the use of illegal horns has resulted in a sharp warning to students from C. A. Bliesner chief of police.
The removal of stop signs from such dangerous intersections as 13th and Kentucky and 9th and Mississippi streets have reached the stage of vandalism, Chief Bliesner said. "If any student is caught removing stop signs or any other traffic signs I will recommend a lengthy jail sentence."
The recent change in parking regulations by the A.S.C. has confused some students as to whether city regulations apply on the campus. Any areas marked in orange or otherwise not designated by the University as a parking zone are restricted by city regulations. Parking is not permitted in these areas at any time. Restrictions apply to such zones 24 hours a day. City jets will be placed on any car found violating city regulations.
The use of "wolf whistles," musical horns, or any similar devices was deemed a direct violation of city ordinance 16-175 at police court recently. Lawrence McCain was arrested for blowing a "wolf whistle" on the campus. He was fines $1.
Chief Bliesner said that an intensive campaign would be conducted for the removal of such horns from cars. He warned that an excess of traffic tickets will result in a warrant for arrest. Students who have received red tickets are advised to either put up bond or to appear in police court in the very near future.

Elmer A. Zilch, journalist extraordinary, swept into Lawrence late Tuesday in time to recount his amours and scoops of the past year to 170 guests at the annual Journalism dinner.
guests at the annual journalism event Waitresses were clearing up the tables in the Kansas room when Zilch came storming in, script in hand, to begin his long awaited harangue.
"Zilch is greater than ever," he boasted, pulling the last drops from a much used flask. "Zilch has triumphed again, with his scoops on the great events and women all over the world."
two weeks leave from the salt mines
In an aside t, several interested ladies present, Zilch was heard to say that he was detained in K.C. by a bartender who would take wooden nickels, and a group of newspaper-men who still had enough of their $2.98 a week salary to shoot craps. "Silly boys," he smirked.
All during the dinner telegrams poured showing Zilch's progress toward Lawrence. The first dispatch from Siberia reported that the veteran journalist Zilch had received a
by order of Joshky Stalinsky,

Before Zilch made his dramatic appearance, skits were staged by faculty members and journalism students. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the School of Journalism, added to the hilarity with a squeaky song of his boyhood, "Down on the Farm."
The Pee Wee Kansan, annual burlesque of the University Daily Kansan was distributed by female hucksters amid squeals and guffaws. The Pee Wee contains derrogatory articles, and advertisements lampooning the Journalism faculty and students.
A dinner was also served.
Foreign Policy Must Be Strong. Schoeppel Says
"The United States needs statesmen in politics for a strong government at home, and for the establishment of a foreign policy that will command the respect of the world." Andrew Schoepel told a group of University students at an informal dinner in the English room of the Union Tuesday. Mr. Schoepel is a former governor of Kansas, and is now a candidate for the U.S. senate.
In answer to further questions Schoepel said, "The people of the United States must keep a government that is strong economically and morally. The convictions of the politicians must be right in the passing scene."
ing scene. "The government," he said, "should be one which can maintain a position from which we can help those countries looking to us for aid and protection. Defense measures taken for the protection of our country should be in line with what facts demand and not a matter of partisan politics."

Jack H. Green, first year law student, was in charge of arrangements for the dinner, and led the formation of a Schoeppel-for-Senator club on the campus.
In a short meeting following the dinner, members discussed specific plans and objectives of the club. They will take part in no rallies, and no speeches will be given.
Harold K. Snider, member of the Kansas highway commission; Charles D. Stough, city attorney of Lawrence, and member of the state legislature; and Donald S. Hults, Lawrence attorney, also attended the dinner.
