Arab Invasions Into Holy Land British Charge
Lake Success, N. Y., Feb. 6—((UP)—An official British report that trained Arabs have invaded Palestine today strengthened a United Nations drive to create an international army for the Holy Land.
The UN Palestine commission decided to use the British statement to back up its conviction that only an international force can enforce the planned partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.
Great Britain told the commission that Arabs invaded Palestine on four occasions:
3. About 300 non-Palestinians have established themselves in the Safad area of Gallilee. All or part of this band attacked the Yechim Jewish settlement with mortars and automatic weapons.
1. Some 950 members of the "Arab liberation army" crossed the Jar Djamiyeh bridge into Palestine the night of Jan. 29-30, and scattered into small bands. The men rode in 19 vehicles. All wore uniforms and were well-armed.
4. A group of marauders of unspecified numbers and origin entered Palestine and clashed with British security forces at Kfar Zold.
2. Some 700 Syrians, well-equipped and provisioned, entered Palestine via Trans-Jordan the night of Jan. 20-21. The men dispersed and cannot be apprehended.

American Women's Sex Life Unhappy, British Savant Says
London—(UP)—The American woman, take it from Dr. E. J. Dingwall is the most miserable in the world.
From his evrie in the British mu-
That's because she has everything material her heart desires, said the British anthropologist who is writing a book to prove that European women have happier sex lives than American women.
From his eyre in the British museum. Dingwall views the United States as one vast and fascinating labyrinth of psychology. He is collating vast amounts of material obtained in personal-interviews with women in the United States, through correspondence with other scientists, and from relevant periodicals.
Approach To Sex Unhealthy
"I don't consider the approach of the American woman to sex particularly healthy," Dingwall said today. "It's something like the British approach to food—a compound of Puritanism and necessity. There's a national feeling of guilt. Ask any European psychiatrist."
"The American bosom mania is all a part of the matriarchy," he said. "It is a maternal symbol, and it has an intensity in the states which does not duplicate itself anywhere else." Washroom Exhibitionism
The American woman, he continued, shows her dissatisfaction in many revealing ways. Women's fashions, with their emphasis on besoms and bustles are one example.
Another signpost, he said, is the "strange exhibitionism of American women in private—that is, in cloakrooms and washrooms." He declined to be more specific, saying he wanted to "save some surprises for my book."
"The American woman would like to be normal, but is unable to be," he said. "Her emancipation from household chores drives her into clubs and associations and dangerous gossiping. In her effort to obtain normal sex life you find the necking party, tourist cabin and what used to be called companion marriage."
Consequently, he said, the American male likewise is discontented.
Roth Quartet Here Wednesday
The School of Fine Arts will present the internationally famous Roth String quartet Wednesday and Thursday at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. The Quartet appears as the third attraction on the newly organized chamber music concert series.
The program for Wednesday evening will offer quartets from Haydn, Ravel, and Brahms, while the second concert on Thursday will present quartets from Borodin, Bartok, and Beethoven.
Organized in Budapest, Hungary in 1926 by Feri Roth, first violinist, the Roth quartet made its American debut in 1928, participating in the Berkshire Chamber Music Festivals at Pittsfield, Mass. All four members of the ensemble are Hungarians and all studied at the Budapest Academy of Music. The Roth quartet's last appearance at the University was in 1934.

Even When Women Get Their Chance It's Muffed-Leap Year No Help To Cupid
Chicago—(UP)—The girls are off to a slow start in the leap year manhunt.
Marriage records of 14 major cities show that the number of licenses issued in January was five to 20 per cent below the totals for the same month last year.
Kansas City, Mo., was the only city to report an increase. Leap year started with a "boom" there. More than twice as many licenses were issued as in January last year.
But even with Valentine's day in sight, Kansas City was an exception. There were decreased in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston. Detroit, St. Louis, Miami, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Reno, Washington, D. C., and Elkton, Md., the state's Gretna Green.
to be over.
Marriage clerks disagreed about reasons for the decline, but most of them said the "war rush" appeared
Detroit's county clerk Edgar Branigan discounted the high cost of living discount. He believes Detroit's drop from 2,229 to 2,083 is a levelling off after the post-war bomb.
Los Angeles said the girls "have discovered that two can't live as cheaply as one these days." Licenses there dropped from 2,906 in January, 1847, to 2,673 last month.
"Two people who want to get married can always convince themselves that two can live as cheaply as one," he said.
SDA To Elect, Form Charter Later
Students for Democratic Action did not elect officers Thursday night because of a lack of members attending the meeting.
That the next senate would be Democratic was the opinion of the group. Members also thought that a third party would result in defeat of liberal Democrats.
Miss Jane Wilder, national field secretary, for the S.D.A., spoke on her trips through western universities and the political situations of Montana and Wyoming.
The Reverend Lynn H. Rupert, pastor of the First Methodist church of Iola and former missionary to India, will speak to Wesley Foundation members Sunday evening, 6:30 p.m., on the subject, "Hinduism."
Plans to draw up a charter and elect officers for the local chapter have been left to Irvin Wesley Elliot, graduate student.
Miss Wilder will visit the Iowa State Teachers college. Then she will go to Washington, D.C.
EDWIN D. HUNTER, newly-repointed assistant professor of journalism, came to the University from the Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman where he was assistant city editor. Prof. Hunter took his master of arts degree in journalism at the University of Missouri.
Hinduism To Be Discussed
The "go-to-church Sunday" committee, sponsored by the Rev. John Patten of the First Presbyterian church, is cooperating with other University groups in urging students to attend the church of their choice Feb. 15, making that day a K. U. Sunday. The committee is an outgrowth of the Student Religious counsel.
Feb. 15 Will Be Go-To-Church Day
Letters will be sent to all organized groups. Pamphlets and letters also have been sent to each of the Lawrence pastors urging them to make Sunday, Feb. 15, a day of special welcome for K. U. students.
Southerners May Revolt
Wakulla Springs, Fla., Feb. 6—(UP)—Governors of 10 Southern states, some of whom are in angry revolt against the Democratic party leadership, gathered today for a conference expected to bring further blasts and attempts at reprisal action against President Truman because of his civil rights program.
Bitter criticism of the President's civil rights plan by several southern chief executives has indicated that the matter of possible secession of Dixie Democrats from the national party will arise during the meeting Some Support Truman
Gov. Millard F. Caldwell of Florida reaffirmed his support of President Truman and is determined to keep the meeting to its original subject—consideration of an offer by the trustees of Mehairy College for Negroes in Nashville, Tenn., to turn the school over to the conference to be used as a regional Negro institution.
Gov. M. E. Thompson of Georgia has also ordered he will try to hear it
But Caldwell admitted the secession subject can be brought up, and Govs. Ben T. Laney of Arkansas and Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi apparently intend to begin the fireworks.
He called for an organization of "every precinct in the state" so that Mississippi delegates to the Democratic national convention will be "dedicated without equivocation" to the unholding of Southern traditions.
Wright Wants Secession
Wright flatly advocated a Mississippi secession from the party unless the administration in Washington honouresses support of "anti-south-ern" laws.
Laney announced that proceeds from the Jefferson-Jackson day dinner in Little Rock will be withheld from the national party until "we see what happens" to the president's program.
Francis E. Brooks, College senior was admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, after receiving a concussion of the brain his condition is improved.
Senior Hurts Head In Fall On Ice
Brooks was on his way to a theater downtown when he slipped on ice and struck his head on a curb.
Harlan W. Berthelsen, freshman medical student, was dismissed from the hospital Thursday night. He had been admitted in the morning after receiving cuts on the face and a bruised shoulder in a car accident at 19th and Massachusetts. A sedan driven by Rex E. Williams, 1046 Tennessee street, struck Berthelsen's ar as it was crossing Massachusetts.
The scholarship will cover fees, tuition, and most basic expenses. Applicants must be members of the graduate class of 1945, '47, or '48 because the courses are of graduate level, and they should have vocational inclinations toward the ministry.
University Will Nominate Student For Scholarship
The University has been invited to nominate a student for one of the six $700 entrance scholarships given by the University of Chicago affiliate, the Chicago Theological seminary.
Dean Harold Barr of the School of Religion will select the nominee.
Vets Will Get More Money If New Bill Passes
Veterans attending the University will receive substantial boosts in subsistence allowances effective April 1, pending approval of the bill by President Truman.
The house passed the bill which would raise the allowance for unmarried veterans in college from $65 a month to $75, and pay a married student, one dependent $105 a month, and those with two or more dependents $120. The payment for all married students now is $90.
The bill has been passed by the senate in the same form as the house measure and now goes to the White House for action by President Truman.
Approximately 2,014,000 veterans now in school under the G.I. bill or rights will be affected by the increase.
If signed by Mr. Truman, the bill will provide much-needed help to the veterans now struggling in schools across the nation to make ends meet on the scanty allowances provided in existing laws.
A second bill calling for increases in the amount a veteran taking on the-job training can receive from his employer while getting government subsistence allowances is being held up in the senate to adjust minor differences.
To Take Up Rent Control
Washington, Feb. 6—(UP)—The senate banking committee today takes up a rent control bill under which some 1,700,000 tenants would face the prospect of unlimited rent increases after Dec. 31.
The bill would extend rent controls for 14 months beyond their scheduled Feb. 29 expiration. But it would drop ceilings from apartments whose tenants agreed to "voluntary" 15 per cent rent boosts last year in return for leases running through 1948.
Hence, these tenants—about 1,700,-000 in number—could have their rents increased by any amount when their current leases expire.
The bill otherwise would extend controls until April 30, 1949, but leave landlords and tenants free to agree any time before then on a lease that would run at least to the end of 1949. There is no limit to the rent that could be charged unless such an agreement.
The Republican-sponsored measure was unanimously approved late yesterday by a senate banking subcommittee, and is expected to get the green light from the full committee. The sponsors are confident they can get the bill through both the house and senate.
World Brotherhood week will begin Sunday with special race relations observances in all Lawrence churches. Daily devotions during the week of Feb. 8 to 14 will be held at 8:30 a. m. in Danforth chapel for students.
Speakers at the devotions, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., will be Dr. and Mrs. Sherwood Eddy, internationally known missionaries; Rabbi Joseph Levenson, of Temple B'Nai in Oklahoma City, and the Rev. Floyd Davidson, minister of the Fairmount Congregational-Christian church in Wichita.
Danforth Devotions To Be Given Daily
