AVC To Contest Bus Rate Change The American Veteran's committee voted Tuesday to send representatives to the hearing concerning the proposed change in bus rates between Lawrence and Sunflower. The hearing on the proposed bus fare changes by the Santa Fe Trail company will be held by the state corporation commission March 8 in Topeka. The A.V.C. delegates will be chosen at the committee's next meeting Feb.24. Marko Haggard, president, declined to outline the committee's counter-appeal until he received further information and statistics. He made clear, however, that the appeal, which, if approved will double the student commuter's transportation bill, will be challenged by the delegates. Tom Page, instructor in political science, also spoke at the meeting. Inflation and housing are the two most important national issues in relation to the veteran, he said. The cloud of jumpy markets has passed, but the high cost of living still remains. He added that there must be a roll back in prices, selective price control of basic commodities, and control of allocation of basic raw materials. Progressive Party Dies The Progressive political party, started by six fraternities when they withdrew from the Pachacamac in December 1946, was dissolved at a meeting Tuesday. The motivating idea of the party, at the time it was formed, was to foster cooperation between the Greeks and Independents and to bring about a more democratic control of campus politics. "Failure of the Independents to cooperate and the action of certain Greeks who took advantage of the organization for their own personal ends brought about failure of the organization," said Thomas J. Alexander, president. The six fraternities active in the organization of the party were: Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The unveiling of a portrait of William Chase Stevens, professor emeritus of botany, will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday in Snow hall. The portrait, by Mrs. Bernice Lopes, will be presented to the botany department by the Linnean club. Botanists To Get Stevens Portrait Professor Stevens, a graduate of the University in 1885, began teaching in the botany department in 1892 and retired as chairman in 1937. The occasion marks his 87th birthday. The program consists of an open house by the botany department at 3 p.m., the unveiling ceremony at 4 p.m., and refreshments after the ceremony. Third Party Man Wins In Bronx By Almost 2-1 New York, Feb. 18- (UP)—Henry A. Wallace's third party movement gained a surprising and powerful impetus today with the election of a Wallace candidate, Leo Isaacson, to congress in a special election in the 24th congressional district of the Bronx. When the votes in Tuesday's balleting were counted, Isaacson, 38-year-old lawyer, had piled up a plurality of 10,119 over Karl Proper, Democratic candidate, in the four-way race. Wins By Landslide Isaacson, running on the American Labor party ticket, polled 22,697 votes compared to 12,578 for Propper. The other two candidates were left far behind. Dean Alfange, Liberal party nominee, polled 3,840 votes, and Joseph A. De Nigris, Republican, trailed with 1,482 votes. Only 40,597 votes were cast out of a total registration of approximately 96,000. Isacson Opposed Marshall Plan It was the first test in the nation and the result definitely was an upset. Propper, who supported President Truman's foreign and domestic policies and had the backing of Edward J. Flynn, former Democratic National committee chairman, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Mayor William O'Dwyer, generally was expected to win. In a predominantly jewish district, Isacson and his supporters, including Wallace, pitched their campaign largely on lifting the arm embargo on Palestine. Isacson also opposed the Marshall plan, asserting it was in reality a scheme of imperialists to cut off democratic forces abroad. tsacson polled approximately 55 per cent of the total vote and the Democratic candidate 31 per cent. In the 1946 congressional election in the same district, the Democrats polled 43 per cent, the A.L.P. 27 per cent. Ireland Has New Premier Dublin. Feb. 18—(UP)—The 16-year regime of Eamon De Valera as premier of Eire came to an end today when he was defeated for re-election in the Irish parliament. The long rule of the man who has had an almost continuous grip on the helm of Ireland since its emergence into independence was ended by a vote of the Dail at 5 p.m. Language Change Not Made Yet As anticipated, a coalition of De Valera's opponents defeated his bid for another term as premier and named John A. Costello, a member of the Fine Gael opposition party, in his place. A vote will be taken on the foreign language requirement at a special meeting of the College faculty at 5 p.m. Feb. 24, Dean Paul B. Lawson said today. He added that no action was taken at the meeting held Tuesday on the proposed change. Dean Lawson said that the faculty discussed reports by the committee. The majority report is in favor of language requirements. The minority report advocates that the study of foreign languages should be made optional for each student. VELOZ AND YOLANDA President Asks Aid For China Washington, Feb. 18—(UP)—President Truman today asked Congress for 570 million dollars for China to halt the "continued deterioration" of the Chinese economy. The money will be used largely to finance imports into China of essential items which the Chinese now are virtually unable to buy. The president in a message to the congress recommended that 510 million dollars be made available through loans or grants to finance such relief imports. He also asked for assistance in reconstruction projects, .in areas sheltered from military operations" Defines Construction Projects The construction projects envisioned by the President included work on railroads and fuel and power operations. The new China aid program did not include any funds for direct military help for the Nationalist government in Nanking. The President expressed "deep concern" over the deterioration of the Chinse economy. He blamed the civil war waged between Communist and Nationalist forces for much of the delay in postwar recovery. Chief Burden Is China's Mr. Truman made it plain that this country would do what it could to assist the rebuilding of the Chinese economy, but that the principal burden of recovery would still remain with the Chinese government. The proposal for new China aid was seen in some congressional quarters as a bid for Republican support of the European Recovery program The European program goes to the senate floor March 1. Many Republican senators repeatedly have urged that Chiang Kai Shek's government also receive help. Laudon To Leave At Semester's End Dr. L. R. Laudon, chairman of the geology department, is leaving the University at the end of this semester to accept a professorship at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Laudon, who came to the University in the fall of 1941, organized the geological field trips to the Canadian Rocky mountains and to Alaska. Last summer he and his wife and a group of University geology students flew to northwestern Canada to do geological research.
