House Passes Foreign Aid Bill By 329-74 Vote
Washington — (Special) — The house of representatives passed the six billion, 205 million dollar foreign aid bill Wednesday night by a vote of 339 to 74.
The bill calls for the largest overseas relief and rehabilitation program ever undertaken by any nation and is aimed directly at blocking Communist expansion in Europe. Included in the sum is the five billion 300 million dollars which is the cost of the Marshall plan for the first year.
Besides the economic and political recovery aid in the Marshall plan, the bill includes 425 million dollars in outright military aid—275 million dollars going to Greece and Turkey and 150 million to China. In addition, China gets another 420 million dollars in economic aid.
Sixty million dollars of the "package" bill goes to the United Nations children's fun.
Wednesday's vote came just two weeks after President Trump's appeal to congress for swift passage of the European Recovery plan as an aid in stopping the rapid advance of communism in Europe.
Kansas representatives, all Republicans, voted as follows:
publications, volunteers for
*For-Cole*, Hope, Meyer, and
Pearson.
Against—Scrivner and Smith

He Wasn't Phased- He Gave All Cuts
Charles Pearson, instructor in journalism, walked into his class in Editing I at 11 a.m. today and began gathering his notes. He waited about five minutes, but no students arrived.
"They'll be here in a minute," he thought. "They've probably taking a smoke."
At 11:15 a. m. he glanced up from his lecture notes and surveyed the empty room. Then his eye happened to catch some writing on the blackboard.
"We won't be here, April fool!"
No Ranch Brawl; Refunds Are Made
The Dude Ranch Brawl, scheduled for Saturday morning, has been cancelled.
Refunds on tickets already sold will be made at the business office or the Union lounge desk.
"The country newspaper offers a good future for journalism graduates," Albert L. Higgins, president of the Kansas Press Association, told the Press club Wednesday at a dinner in the English room.
Mr. Higgins said that the country editor has a secure job even in depression periods. The income of his paper, the Linn-Palmer Record, decreased only 19 per cent during the past depression. The one big difference between the small town and the city is that the small town has a warm heart, he said.
Press Club Hears Higgins
"Country people are helpful and friendly to their neighbors," he said. "Show me one large city where this is true."
Each year the William Allen White School of Journalism invites he newly elected president of the Kansas Press association to speak to journalism students.
Several cities in Kansas and Missouri will begin their victory drives in the War Memorial campaign within the next week, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, said today.
Bell Drive Begins Today
The Wichita alumni association will meet to discuss plans for the drive today and the Topeka organization will meet tomorrow. Kansas City, Mo. and Parsons will start their drives next week.
The purpose of the campaign is to get by June 7 the rest of the $350,000 necessary to build the war memorial. Donations have now passed the $177,000 mark.
Lawrence has already started its campaign. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is seeking the final $17,000 necessary to complete the $50,000 Lawrence quota.
Money for 22 bells has been received and negotiation for five more is now in progress.
This money would provide a good carillon itself, but we must remember that we cannot hang the bells in a tree. We must have money for the tower, memorial driveway, plaques, and windows," said Mr. Ellsworth.
Essays are to be written on some phase of the art museum. Louisa Cook Don Carlos, '24, is sponsoring the contest to acquaint students with the museum. A $5 prize will be given for the best essay. Entries will be judged for content and appreciation rather than writing ability. Mrs. Don Carlos said.
Entries in the Don Carlos essay contest must be turned in to Spooner-Thayer Art museum today, Mary Warner, curator, announced.
Entries For Contest Must Be Turned In
A water safety instructors course, sponsored by the Douglas county Red Cross chapter, will be held April 5 to 9 at the University.

Reds Blockade US Rail Traffic In Berlin Area
Berlin. April 1—(UP)—Russia cut off all rail traffic from Berlin to the American, British, and French zones of Germany today, but abandoned, after two hours, road-blocks set up on the boundaries of the Russian zone of the German capital city.
German police who had assisted them also were recalled, and traffic resumed its normal free flow across sector boundaries within the city.
Air routes to supply the approximately 25,000 men of the three western powers in Berlin still were open, and vehicular traffic operated normally along the German super highways through the 100 miles of Russian-occupied territory west of the city.
But both American and British authorities rejected flatly the demand of the Russians that they be allowed to inspect trains of the Allied powers to and from Berlin. The Russians had halted all rail traffic as a result of that rejection.
Four trains—two American and two British—were halted during the night by a new Russian check-point established at Marienborn, in the Soviet zone west of Berlin. American and British officers in charge flatly refused to let Soviet troops enter or inspect the trains.
The Russians, without warning, set up road blocks and check-points at the boundaries of their zone of Berlin proper, and for a time stopped all trucks carrying goods out of the Soviet zone unless they carried special Russian permits. They withdrew these road blocks after two hours. They had explained that the purpose of the blockade was solely to prevent illegal truck movements and halt black market traffic.
McCullough Elected AWS Co-Chairman
Marjorie McCullough, fine arts sophomore, was elected the new cochairman of the counseling program at the Associated Women Students house of representatives meeting Tuesday.
A nominating committee will be elected for the house of representatives's new officers April 6.
If women's organized houses are going to change representatives to the A.W.S., they should send the names of both the new and old representatives to the next meeting.
Richardson To Give Recital On April 4
Lois Lee Richardson, soprano, a pupil of Irene Peabody, will give her senior voice recital at 4 p. m. April 4 in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
Miss Richardson attended Washburn Municipal university for three years studying voice under Dean Ira Pratt. For a year she was solosist in the Potwin Presbyterian church.
She studied at the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, New York, for one summer with Arthur Kraft and Dr. Herman Genhart. Another summer of voice study was under the late John C. Wilcox. She is a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, national music sorority, and the University Women's Glee club.
'Harvey' Tickets Sold In Emporia

The Emporia Chamber of Commerce announced that 546 of the 970 reserved seats had been taken the first day tickets went on sale. "Harvey" will be given in Emporia as a benefit for the William Allen White Memorial fund and will be presented at the University later this month.
