ERP Boss To Be Independent Of State Secretary
Washington, Feb. 11 — (UP) — The senate foreign relations committee was over the first hurdle today in its effort to write a European recovery program satisfactory to Republicans and Democrats alike.
The decision represented the first major compromise on the so-called Marshall plan. It settled, at least for the moment, what Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, chairman, called a "maier controversy."
The committee voted unanimously to put ERP under an administrator independent of the state department, but subject to presidential orders.
Under the committee's proposal, the $20,000-a-year ERP administrator would run the program without interference from the state department. In the event of a conflict, President Truman would act as ampire.
This administrative setup was similar to the one suggested by the Brookings institution. Secretary of State George C. Marshall indicated it would be acceptable 'to him'.
Tentative settlement of the administrative problem left the question of funds as the major disputed issue in the recovery program. The administration wants a $6,800 00,000 downpayment for ERP.
AVC Fights Fare Hike
The American Veterans committee Tuesday discussed the problem created by the Santa Fe Trailway's appeal to the state corporation commission to cancel the present round trip bus fare from Sunflower to Lawrence.
Students living at Sunflower can now purchase books of 6 round trip tickets for $1.80. The regular one-way fare is 30 cents.
If the state corporation approves the appeal, commuters from Sunflower will have their transportation fare doubled to 60 cents per day since the application does not provide for a new round trip rate.
The matter was shelved until more complete information concerning the fare hike can be obtained. A report will be presented at next Tuesday's meeting. The committee will then decide whether delegates will be sent to Topeka for the hearing March 8.
Three new members were elected at the first spring semester meeting of the Entomology club. Tuesday.

Snow And Cold Blanket Kansas
Topeka, Feb. 11-(UP)—A whistling north wind flung snow at Western Kansas today in extreme cold temperatures.
The temperature at 6:30 a.m. had reached five degrees below zero at Goodland, which first felt the brunt of the storm in Kansas. Wind velocity there was 32 to 38 miles an hour with gusts up to 40 m.p.h., the federal weather service here reported. Two inches of snow had fallen.
S. D. Flora, Kansas meteorologist, said the storm would sweep across Kansas eastward during the day and that temperatures would decline rather than rise during the daylight hours.
The high north winds, threatening to pile drifts along roadways, were generally in the western half of the state. Concordia, Ellis and Dodge City this morning all reported strong and cold north winds. Concordia had 4 inches of new snow, with the dawn temperature down to 6 degrees. At Ellis the new snowfall measured 3 inches and Dodge City reported an inch. The temperature was down to 2 at both places.
The entire state was receiving snow today, Flora said.

Professor Gets Service Award
Eugene A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering, has been notified that he will be the first to receive the newly created certificate of service award by the petroleum division of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. He will formally receive the award Feb. 17 at the institute's annual meeting in New York.
The award is for "great organization service and long and valued devotion of time, effort, thought and action in furthering the aims of the petroleum division, and is to be issued only to those relatively few individuals whose contributions stand out sharply even above the excellence of the services rendered each year by members of the division."
Professor Stephenson has recently returned to his teaching duties in the petroleum engineering department after a requested leave of absence because of poor health.
Funds from the faculty drive are being handled separately and are not included in March of Dimes figures announced by Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, which conducted the campaign for student contributions. Donations by faculty members and employees will be turned in to the county chapter for infantile paralysis. One half will go to the national headquarters.
