Truman,Marshall Hit At 'Defiance' By UN Members
Washington, Feb. 20 — (UP) President Truman and Secretary of State George C. Marshall jointly proclaimed their concern today about the open defiance of United Nations decisions by some member nations.
Neither the president nor Marshall, in their letters of transmittal with the 359-page report, named the offending nations. But they are;
The "disturbing character" of such defiance was stated in the president's annual report to congress on the United Nations and the U. S. role therein.
The Arab states—They are accused by a special UN commission of trying to alter "by force" the UN decision to partition Palestine.
Russia — She has boycotted the Greek and Korean commissions, the "little assembly", and the trusteeship council.
Great Britain—The government has announced its refusal to play any role in putting into effect any plan for Palestine unless it is acceptable to both Jews and Arabs.
Argentina—She refused to withdraw her ambassador from Franco Spain.
Mr. Truman said the UN's decisions and recommendations were met "neither by evasion nor by meaningless compromises", but were "straightforward expressions of the judgement held by the overwhelming majority."
'Meteors Not So Unusual
The widely publicized flight of a meteor over the Norton area of Kansas Wednesday night aroused little interest *from N. W. Storer, professor of astronomy.
"Falling meteors are common occurrences. Nearly 20 million strike the earth each year," he said. "This was probably an unusually large one, perhaps the size of a typewriter. Most of those which are reported are no larger than the head of a pin."
Professor Storer expressed surprise that the meteor was detected Wednesday, since most meteors cannot be seen before they reach an altitude of 75 miles, and are generally burnt out before they have descended to within 40 miles of the earth.
"It must alve been rather low in the sky if seen from that distance," the professor said. "On the other hand, there might have been several meteors falling that night. This possibility might account for the discrepancies in reports, which gave the time of fall as between 4 and 5 p. m.
Dr. Melvin H. Knisely, associate professor of anatomy at the University of Chicago, will speak on "Sludge in Blood" at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
Knisely To Speak On Blood
Kansas—Partly cloudy today and tonight. Intermittent light snow extreme northeast this morning. Increasing cloudiness tomorrow. Light intermittent rain west and south, spreading over rest of state by night. Warmer west this afternoon and throughout state tonight and tomorrow.

Former Russian Prime Minister To Talk Monday
Alexander Kerensky, former prime minister of the Russian republic, will speak at 4 p. m. Feb. 23 in Fraser hall. His topic will be the development of democracy in Russia.
Mr. Kerensky was a member of the fourth imperial Russian duma (parliament) from 1912 to 1917. He was leader of the Labor party. In February, 1917, he became minister of justice, and late minister of war and vice-president. In August, 1917, he became prime minister of the Russian republic after Czar Nicholas II abdicated.
As a young lawyer Mr. Kerensky defended political criminals without charge. He went to Siberia on one occasion and investigated the problems of mine workers. Improvements in their working conditions were made as a result of his findings.
When the Bolsheviks under Lenin overthrew the Kerensky government in 1918, he lived underground. He later edited democratic newspapers in Prague, Berlin, and Paris.
Mr. Kerensky's father was supervisor of schools in the district of Simibrsk when Lenin was a student in one of the schools. The elder Kerensky had commented on Lenin's excellence as a student not knowing of the part Lenin would later play in his son's life.
Mr. Kerensky is a visiting professor at the University of Kansas City this month. He will leave for New York sometime during the end of March.
To Award Shop Contract
A contract for construction of a new engineering shops building will be awarded today by the state board of regents, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor said.

The old building will be occupied by the William Allen White School of Journalism after Fowler shop is renovated and all equipment removed. Mr. Nichols said that it would probably be two years before the School of Journalism could use he building.
Acacia, national social fraternity, has established a pledge colony in preparation for reactivation of the K. U. chapter which was discontinued during the war.

Mr. Quigley did not reveal the length of Sikes' contract nor the salary terms. Sikes will have full power to name two assistants, as Sauer took his top two men with him to Annapolis. The new coach is expected to arrive here next week to meet Kansas players, other members of the athletic department and the faculty and to map plans for spring practice, which will open around March 8.
Sikes was selected from a field of 65 men. He is an exponent of the "T" formation. In his playing days, he served under Dana X. Bible at Texas A. and M. in 1925-26-27. Sauer also played under Bible.
"We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to obtain the services of a coach with the background, experience and personality of Sikes," Quigley said. He was chosen from a field of coaches and fans and we feel that he will give us our program second to none in our area." Sikes Is 43. Married
Sikes is 43 years old and is married. He played high school football at Leonard, Texas, then moved on to Texas A. & M. where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He played on Southwest conference championship teams in 1925 and 1927. As a senior, he was all-conference end and played as a member of the West team in the San Francisco East-West game in 1928.
He coached one year at Brenham, Texas, then at Burleson college at Greenville, Texas, before moving to Fast Texas State for four years as a line coach. He returned to Texas A. & M. in 1936 as freshman football coach and head basketball coach for two years. He was assistant coach for ends and backs in 1937, and then moved to Georgia, where his fine ended became a trade mark of Georgia teams. He was head coach at St. Mary's Calif., Naval Pre-Flight school during the war.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, commenting on the appointment made the following statement:
"We are all very happy over the selection of Mr. Sikes. President Harmon W. Caldwell of the University of Georgia, with whom I talked before Mr. Quigley approached Mr. Sikes, spoke highly of his personal friendship, of his new career and of his interests in the future."
