Greek Prince Will Speak Here Tuesday
Prince Peter is the son of Prince George of Greece and the nephew of the late King Constantine. Princess Irene, a Russian commoner born in St. Petersburg, left Russia as a young woman for Switzerland and later became a French citizen. This is her second visit to the United States and her husband's first.
The 39-year-old prince served as liaison officer with Gen. Maitland Wilson, British commander in Greece, during the war. When the Germans marched on Athens, Prince Peter and General Wilson escaped to Crete where the prince served as liaison officer with General Freyberg of New Zealand.
Aldo Aliotti, engineering senior,
started the program with a talk
about "Reality and Unreality."
Aliotti explained the necessity for
placing a greater emphasis on the
spiritual rather than the material
things of life.
Four speakers were featured on the program of the Forensic league which met Thursday in the Union recreation room.

"How to Create a Stage Character" was the subject of a speech by Bermice Brady, College sophomore, in which she demonstrated the difficulties of building a stage characterization.
Curtis Nystrom, College sophomore, closed the program with an appeal to "Know Thyself." He emphasized the need for young people to set a series of goals toward which they can direct their lives.
Robert Davis, College sophomore, explained the current civil rights system of the federal and state governments. He appealed for a more determined and sincere recognition of the citizens' constitutional rights.
Dan Palmquist, education senior, was chairman for the program and Hal Friesen, business junior, presided at the short business meeting.
A driving course for teachers will be given at the University June 21 to 24.
Teachers To Have Driving Course
Many schools have added this course, said Hobart Hanson, director of the Lawrence extension center, since various motor car associations and manufacturers are giving dual control cars to high schools for driver training.
Enrollment will be limited to 40 high school teachers from Missouri and Kansas.

Little Man On Campus
Washington, Feb. 19 — (UP) — C.I.O. President Philip Murray pleaded innocent today to government charges that he violated the Taft-Hartley act's ban on political activity by labor unions.
Murray Says 'Not Guilty'
Murray's pleas set the stage for a test of the constitutionality of the act's prohibition. His attorneys promptly asked Federal Judge Alexander Holtzoff to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that it is unconstitutional.
Holtzoff set next Friday for oral arguments on the dismissal motion and scheduled March 22 for the start of Murray's trial.
Murray spoke a firm, quiet "not guilty" when arraigned before Holtzoff. He entered the not guilty plea for both himself and the C.I.O. The government charges he and the C.I.O. illegally campaigned in support of Democratic Rep. Edward A. Garmatz in a special Maryland election last summer.

Food Costs Down Half Of Increase
New York, Feb. 20- (UP) Falling prices in the last week increased out almost half of the increased food costs of the last year for a typical American family.
The price average of 45 basic food items was 6.3 per cent higher today than it was a year ago. The price of the same 45 items last week was 13 per cent higher.
A spokesman for the A. & P. food stores said that although the prices might vary on individual items, the overall cost would be approximately the same for New England and the metropolitan areas of the West Coast. Prices in the Midlands and South would be only fractionally less.
The United Press selected 45 basic food items that might be found in the weekly market basket of a typical American family of two adults and three children. The prices were cross-checked with chain stores, the New York city department of markets and shopping baskets.
The total cost of the 45 items in New York today was $27.67. Not all the items would be found on an individual table in one week, but offer a choice for a balanced diet. The same items last week cost $29.41. A year ago they cost $26.03.
Dr. L. R. Lind, chairman of the department of Greek and Latin, has made the first English translation of the "Epitome of Andreas Vessallus." He read the introduction to his translation to members of Phi Alpha Theta. Thursday.

Prof Translates Old Medical Book
The "Epitome" is an index and guide to the parts of the body. It was written in June of 1543 and was immediately translated into German, but has never been obtainable in English.
Vesalius also wrote, "On The Structure of Human Anatomy," which has not yet been translated. His works revolutionized the pre-Renaissance conception of the anatomy.
The Yale Medical library is sponsoring the publication of Dr. Lind's book. It will be printed by Mae-Millan company.

Non-Communist Czech Ministers Leave Cabinet
Prague, Feb. 20—(UP)—Ministers representing three parties in the cabinet of Communist Premier Klement Gottwald submitted their resignations to President Edward Benes tonight.
Basically the issue is whether the Communists will lead Czechoslovakia into the realm of the eastern style workers state. It was brought into the open earlier this week when the communists refused to cooperate any longer with the other parties in the coalition which for 30 months, has run the country under a kind of political truce.
The communists demanded a new "above party" coalition of workers and peasants to take over under the leadership of Gottwald. Few here doubted that they would set out to revamp the Czechoslovak parliamentary democracy into something more like the Eastern European farms if they succeed.
The members of the National Socialist, Slovak Democratic, and Catholic Peoples parties turned in their resignations as a move-in the battle within the coalition cabinet against the Communists for control of the state police forces.
President Benes did not accept the resignations immediately, and some possibility was seen that he might reject them.
The cabinet boycott was prompted by the issue which broke up a cabinet session last Tuesday, officials said. That was the refusal of the communist ministry of interior to carry out a government order to halt communist promotions in the police force.
The position of the Social Democrats in the non-communist group was not entirely clear. Efforts were being made to persuade them to join the three rightist parties in the proposed resignations. The social democrats were reported reliably to have rejected a communist proposal to form a two-party government.
To Honor Stevens On 87th Birthday
The unveiling of a portrait of William Chase Stevens, professor emeritus of botany, will highlight a celebration in his honor tomorrow on his 87th birthday.
The portrait will be presented by the Linnaean club. It was purchased by subscriptions from Professor Stevens's friends, former students, and the club. The portrait was painted by Mrs. Bernice Lopes, Kansas artists, and will be presented to the botany department.
Dr. N. P. Sherwood, head of the bacteriology department, will speak. During his undergraduate days he was a student of Professor Stevens.
Professor Stevens has been a member of the botany department for 59 years. He was graduated from the University in 1885 and began teaching here in 1889. In 1937 Professor Stevens retired to an emeritus status and since that time has compiled a study of wild flowers of Kansas which will soon be published by the University press.
The Linnaean club consists of persons interested in flowers.
