New City Well Will Increase Water Supply
The Lawrence water supply will be increased tomorrow or Friday when a new well, which will add 500 gallons of water a minute, is connected to the present supply, Major C. Hogar, superintendent of the water works, said today.
The present rate of water being pumped from the plant is 1,600 gallons a minute, or barely enough to meet the demand. Mr. Hogan said. He stressed that water must be used sparingly and well as unnecessarily. He said that a fire would cut the water supply enough to create a serious situation.
The supply has been cut since Sunday when the city's only permanent water intake was stopped up with sand when high water cut away 50 feet of the river bank near the intake
Mr. Hogar said that it will be a week before the pipe is repaired and another week before the sand in the pipe can be removed. An expert from the National Water Main Cleaning company will help supervise the repairs, he said.
Dr. Chester S. Keefer, Wade professor of medicine at Boston university, will talk on "Streptomycin in the Treatment of Infections" this afternoon at the University Medical center in Kansas City. Dr Keefer is a specialist in the use of penicillin and other "wonder drugs."

Malott Talks At Parkville
Large responsibilities devolve upon both small church colleges and large public universities, Chancellor Deane W. Malot declared today at a luncheon meeting at Park college; Parkville, Mo.
The meeting was a part of formal inauguration ceremonies for the college's sixth president, Dr. J. L Zwingle.
A foreign office spokesman said only that U. S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall "has always stated that it was up to the European nations to decide who would participate in the recovery program.
In discussing the relation between the two types of institutions, Chancellor Malott said that both must exert every effort to keep financially strong and to maintain able faculties who have an experimental point of view. He added that institutions should maintain staffs who "direct the ultimate training toward better thinking citizens for the republic in a troubled world."
House Wants Spain In ERP
Bv UNITED PRESS
Shocked and angry reaction to the decision of the United States house of representatives to include Franco Spain in the European Recovery program came today from London, Paris and Rome.
In Washington, the house pressed on toward passage, perhaps by nightfall, of its six billion 205 million dollar "package" global foreign aid measure, and a possibility was seen that $a.compuimension.measure.approved.bi$
Reports from London said Britain was prepared to lead a fight against inclusion of Spain.
But senate conferees were not expected to accept the house amendment which added Spain to the list of 16 European nations previously included in the Marshall plan. Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former senate president and chairman of the powerful foreign relations committee, was known to oppose the move.
a compromise measure approved by
the president to go to President Truman next week.
Madrid received word of the house action with what dispatches described as "official pleasure."
Moscow did not comment, but there seemed little doubt that the move would be regarded there as aiding the U.S.S.R. in her diplomatic "cold war."
give aid and comfort to the Communists in the April 18 elections and asserted that it had destroyed the lift given anti-Communist forces by the proposal of the Western powers to return France to Italy.
Militarily, inclusion of Spain among the American-aided nations undoubtedly would not be so welcome to the Russians, who might see the action as a move to obtain a possible American base in event of hostilities at the entrance to the Mediterranean.
Students should sign up at the registrar's office if they plan to be in school this summer or next fall.
Way Is Cleared For Injunction To Halt Strike
Washington, March 31—(UP) A Presidential fact-finding board to day cleared the way for President Truman to seek an immediate court injunction to halt the 17-day old soft coal strike.
Informed sources said Mr. Truman may announce immediately upon releasing the report that he is directing Attorney General Tom C. Clark to go into U.S. district court to gel an anti-strike order. Mr. Clark reportedly has the necessary papers ready.
Board members indicated the report would advise Mr. Truman that the pension dispute between John L. Lewis and soft coal operators threatens to "imperil the national health and safety." Under the Taft-Hartley act, such a finding empowers the president to seek an injunction to halt the walkout for at least 80 days.
There was no guarantee, however, that the injunction would be granted at once. Mr. Lewis served notice he would fight to block it, and government lawyers said legal arguments could delay a decision by a week or so.
Meanwhile, the latest of three government orders to conserve the "dangerously low" supplies of coal went into effect at midnight. That was the interstate commerce commission's directive cutting freight shipments 25 per cent on coal-burning trains. The office of defense transportation had previously curtailed coal-burning passenger trains 25 per cent, and the commerce department had halted most coal exports.
Registrar Wants Names
Only two cases were heard by the student court March 23.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said that students who sign up are assured a place in the University, eliminate standing in line later, and provide data for University planning purposes. Full co-operation of the students has made the system a success in the past, Mr. Hitt said.
Students are asked to sign up according to the following schedule: A, C, April 5; B, April 6, D, E, F, April 7; H, April 8; G, I, J, K, April 9; L, N, O, Q, April 12; M, April 13; P, R, April 14; S, April 15; T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, April 16; and all those who could not come in on their scheduled days, April 19.
Fewer Cases Tried In Student Court
Billy D. Stanton, engineering junior, charged with 17 parking violations, had 16 reversed. There was no fine.
Stanton introduced as evidence a letter from his mother stating she received the tickets while on business at the University.
James P. Chisholm, engineering junior, charged with securing a parking by fraud, was found not guilty.
