Lewis Guilty Of Criminal, Civil Contempt
Washington, April 19 - (UP) — John L. Lewis was convicted of criminal and civil contempt of court for failing to end the recent coal strike forthwith.
The verdict was handed down by Federal Judge T. Alan Goldborough who rejected arguments of United Mine Workers attorneys that the recent mine walkout was not a strike.
The U.M.W. union also was held guilty of contempt for failure to act more swifty in response to an April 3 restraining order instructing them to call off the strike.
"There is no difficulty about deciding that the evidence shows beyond all reasonable doubt—practically beyond all doubt—that the defendants are guilty of criminal contempt." Judge, Goldsborough said.
Mr. Lewis had notified his miners in a letter March 12 that the operators had "dishonored" the contract. Three days later the soft coal miners walked out.
He added that they also were guilty of civil contempt and announced that he would impose sentences on Mr. Lewis and the union at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
President Truman, acting under provisions of the Taft-Hartley law, then appointed a fact-finding board to study the dispute. It reported to him that the walkout was a strike which imperilled the nation's health and welfare. On April 3, Mr. Truman directed the justice department to obtain a Taft-Hartley law injunction that would have ended the walkout for 80 days.
The current case grew out of a pension dispute between the union and the operators.
The same day, Federal Judge Matthew McGuire issued a temporary order directing Mr. Lewis to call off the strike "forthwith." When the mine chief failed to comply immediately, the government asked that Mr. Lewis and the union be cited for contempt.
In a key section of his opinion, Judge Goldsborough said:
"As long as a union is functioning as a union, it must be held responsible for the mass action of its members. Men don't act collectively without leadership. The suggestion that 350,000 men would get the idea simultaneously to walk out collectively is, of course, simply ridiculous."
3 Trucks Fight SAE House Fire
Fire of undetermined origin routed members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house at 4:30 this morning. All escaped uninjured.
The fire started on the third floor and was discovered by Edward Frizzell, College sophomore, who aroused members and called the fire department. Three trucks answered the call and the fire was out by 5:30 am.
Worst damage was in the room occupied by Dexter Welton, Bob Whitcomb, and Fred Apt. Clothing valued at $900 was destroyed or badly scorned and the walls were turned brown by the smoke and heat. Personal equipment in the room, including a slide rule, pictures, tennis rackets, rugs, and blankets, was damaged beyond repair.
Greatest danger was that the fire was between the walls and the floor boards between the second and third floors. "It could have spread rapidly and cut off the entire third floor," firemen said.
All damage was covered by insurance.
Gamblers Cash In On College Study
Las Vegas, Nev., April 19—(UP)Albert Hibbs and Dr. Roy Walford were back at the Nevada roulette wheels today and again were winning with the scientific system they invented in collere.
The youths were weary and bearded this morning after three days of almost solid gambling. Early today they had run their $300 ante to $700 in profits. They played continuously, with each man alternating on six-hour shifts.
They are the same pair that gave casinos at Reno a hard time last year by running a $300 stake up to $12,000.
Architecture Gets Sigma Tau Prize
Students in the architectural engineering department won the trophy given by Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, for the outstanding exhibit at the Engineering exposition.
Members of the exposition committee estimated that 11.000 persons saw the exhibits presented by the School of Engineering April 16 and 17.
Architectural engineering students exhibited scale models of homes, hospitals and clinics for Kansas towns. Exhibition chairman was Dexter M. Welton, engineering senior.
Make Rolling Pins
Students in shop practice produced small rolling pins for children on lathes, and gave away "home-made" ash trays, gear blanks, and brass hammers. Souvenir calling cards were produced in an exhibit by a Kansas City, Kan., plastics company.
A carnival-like atmosphere prevailed at the aeronautical engineering exhibit in front of Lindley hall. A German jet-powered Heinkel 162 fighter was periodically started with a loud roar, which turned to a siren-like wall. The plane was obtained from Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, and assembled here by students. A German ME-109 fighter was also displayed. Well, Medium, or Bare
Electrically-cooked hot dogs were prepared and sold in a fraction of a second by electrical engineering students. Popcorn was popped a piece at a time. Civil engineers made gum from coal, or anything handy, the announcer said.
The condition of Laurel E. Anderson, professor of organ was reported satisfactory by his wife today. Mr. Anderson was injured in the wreck of the Rock Island streamliner, the Texas Rocket, in Oklahoma April 14. Mrs. Anderson said that he may be released from the hospital in Enid, Okla. today or tomorrow and will probably go on to Oklahoma City before returning to Lawrence.
Models of dams to be constructed as part of the Missouri valley reconstruction project were displayed. A relief model of Jackson county, Mo., and models of the proposed Lawrence airport and civic center attracted many persons.
Anderson In Good Condition
Wells Has Operation
Forrest H. Wells, senior engineer, underwent an emergency appendectomy at Watkins hospital Sunday. Physicians report his condition good today.
One million dollars worth of industrial machine tools were exhibited by the shop practice department. KMBC, Kansas City, Mo., displayed a $25,000 exhibit of television equipment in Hoch auditorium.
Village Busses To Operate At Same Rate
Bus fares to Sunflower will not be raised, but the number of daily round trips will be cut. Irvin Youngberg, dormitory director, said today that it was agreed April 16 at a state corporation commission meeting in Topeka that present rates for round trips to Sunflower would continue indefinitely.
Round trips from Sunflower to Lawrence will be cut from 11 to 7 a day, Youngberg said. He added that the Transcontinental Bus company (the Santa Fe) will discontinue those trips taken by few students. A new schedule will be out soon.
In making application for rate increase the Sante Fe company asked for a $2.70 fare for six round trip tickets to replace the present fare of $1.80. The application was based on a need for increased revenue to meet operating costs.
The Santa Fe bus company had applied to the state corporation commission for authority to double round trip fares between the two points. Mr. Youngberg, and representatives of the American Veterans committee opposed the raise at the initial hearing, March 8.
The company contended that the busses are now operating with less than 50 per cent of the seats occupied. They estimated that 95 per cent of the seats must be occupied under the present rate to meet operating costs.

putter, Charlie Fonville, topped the existing world's record in the shot
Dillard won his 52nd competitive race in a row as he breezed over the high hurdles in 13.6 seconds, a full tenth of a second under the world and intercollegiate mark established by Forrest "Spec" Towns in 1936 and equaled by Fred Wolcott of Rice in 1941.
Rings Record Bell Early
Rings Record Ben Eary
Charlie Fonville pushed the 16-pound shot 58 feet $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch to top the recognized mark of 57 feet 1 inch set by Jack Torrance, Louisiana State weight man, at Oslo, Norway, in 1934. Fonville, a pre-dental student at Michigan, made his record breaking toss in his second preliminary try, and did not try to better that mark in the finals in the afternoon.
Following Fonville's great throw in the morning preliminaries, Dillard was heard to remark that he would have to break the world's record in the hurdles to get his name in the papers. He did just that. He touched only one hurdle as he streaked over the 10 barriers. Fans in the stands sensed even before the time was announced that a record had been set.
Referee Frank Potts said that both the records would be recognized as Kansas Relay records and that the Relays committee would submit them for recognition as world's records.
The University of Wisconsin two-mile relay team knocked a full second off the record in that event, which has been held by Kansas State since 1935. The Badgers' time was 7:44.7.
A sunburned crowd of 12,000 witnessed the record-shattering performances of the two Negroes and also saw four other Kansas Relay marks plowed under.
East Texas State lived up to its pre-meet expectations by literally tearing up the track in winning college sprint medley in 3:31. The former mark was set by Abilene Christian in 1947 in 1:47,2, the first time this event was run at the Relays.
Bolen Paces Ault
The 400-meter hurdles record was broken by Dave Bolen, University of Colorado graduate student who was competing unattached. In beating the favored Dick Ault by six yards, Bolen was clocked in 53 seconds flat, which clipped 2.4 seconds off the old record held by Herman Nelson of Oklahoma.
The 100-yard dash went to Texas's Charlie Parker in the fast time of 9.5. Harry Guth, Missouri's crack spinner placed fourth. Bud Gartiser, the Tiger star high hurdler, had to withdraw from the meet because of illness.
Cy Perkins, representing the Illinois A.C. romped home in 3:57.2 to win the Glenn Cunningham mile over Bill Mack from Michigan State and Bob Rehberg, unattached. Perkins' time was :03.9 seconds off the Relays record of 3:53.3 which is held by Glenn Cunningham. This year the distance was the Olympic distance of 1,500 meters instead of a mile.
Talkative Fortune Gordien won the discus throw with a toss of 151 feet $5\%$ inches but was far off his expected form.
