Clark Brands 78 Groups As Subversive
Washington—(UP)—The government was armed today with a new yardstick that will help determine the loyalty of its employees—a master list of 78 organizations branded as subversive by Attorney General Tom C. Clark.
But both Clark and Board Chairman Seth Richardson emphasized that mere membership would not be an automatic cause for dismissal, but that it is up to the loyalty board to decide how much weight will be given membership in a specific organization in any individual case.
Included on the list were both right wing and left wing groups, with the Ku Klux Klan and the Columbians on one extreme and the Communist party and its numerous "front" organizations on the other. Government employees were put on notice that membership in these organizations would be weighed against tests. Dismissal. Net Automatic.
Clark's list was divided into two main sections: (1) the 47 organizations—many of them German and Japanese nationalistic societies—labeled subversive by former Attorney General Francis Biddle in 1943 and (2) 31 additional groups judged subversive on the basis of up-to-the minute F. B. I. investigations.
Names 11 Schools
Organizations named on this basis of the new survey included:
In addition, Clark added the names of 11 "schools" which he said, appear to be "adjuncts of the Communist party." He said the list would be expanded on the basis of continuing investigations.
The American Youth for Democracy, the Civil Rights congress and its affiliated organization, the Civil Rights congress for Texas, the Columbians, the Communist party and its affiliates and committees.
The Hollywood Writers Mobilization for Defense, the International Workers Order, the joint Anti-Fascist Refugee committee, the Ku Klux Klan, the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship, the Socialists' Workers party (including Amer-
can Committee for European Workers Relief). Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln brigade, the Workers party (including Socialist Youth league).
Grand Jury Indicts Ten For Contempt
Washington — (UP) — A federal grand jury today indicted for contempt of congress 10 Hollywood writers and directors who refused to say whether they were communists.

Gas Refunds Total $396,000
"There is a 20 mile per hour limit on the Hill" he said. "You can't park anywhere you want to after 7 p.m., either. Orange zones are for停车 stops and are near fire plugs, and they are closed at all times. We are adding two men to the force and will be able to check on offenders more adequately."
Natural gas consumers in Lawrence will receive $396,000 in refund checks, with the average for each consumer being from $90 to $100, Caryl J. Dodds, manager of the Kansas Public Service, said today.
Refunds are based on the amount of natural gas purchased by a consumer over the 44-month period from September, 1943 to April, 1947.
Mr. Doods added that the first checks should be back in 10 days. One of the biggest jobs for the company is to find families that have changed addresses.
Mr. Dodds said that the entire purchase cards for the community must be totalled and sent to Topeka where a ratio for refunds will be determined.

17 Shopping Days Til Christmas
'Prof. I'm Positive It's Not A Bottle!'
The disadvantage of large classes was demonstrated this morning in Prof. Walter Kollmorgen's geography class in Lindley auditorium.
Two students were sitting in the back of the room holding an object up to the light.
"What do you have back there—a bottle of hair tenic or something to drink?" Professor Kollmorgen asked the students.
"Sir, it is not a bottle," one of the students answered.
"It's merely a negative," the student replied.

Business School To Hear Advice
KU Men Placed On National Committee
Headed by D. Gagliardo, professor of economics, and Charles Gudger, chairman of the student committee, the first meeting will deal mainly with pre-business requirements. Gudger stated he hoped the committee could develop ideas from student opinions and more meetings would be held in the near future. Business graduates also will have a chance to offer opinions on what changes they think should be made in the present curriculum.
From these meetings and from student opinion, Gudger indicated the committee would develop a questionnaire polling the business students for suggestions on a general business curriculum. This survey is being sponsored by the Buiness School association.

Football Fans Favor Band Trip To Orange Bowl
Russell L. Wiley, band director,
has estimated it would take between
$8,000 and $15,000 to send the 125
musicians and eight cheerleaders to
Miami for the game.
Jayhawkter football fans were hoping today that someone would come up with a money-raising idea to send the University band to the Orange bowl game New Year's day.
Faculty members and Lawrence businessmen called by the University Daily Kansan this morning favored the idea of raising money to send the band to the game.
"It would be a fine gesture if the alumni could find a way to do it. Otherwise it makes it tough on the athletic department," said M. J. "Mike" Getto, Eldridge hotel manager and assistant football coach.
"Anything that could be done to get the band there would be wonderful. Mr. Wiley and the band have always been the last word in loyalty and support for the basketball team." Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, basketball coach, declared.
"It would add a lot of color to the game. The band and cheerleaders have done a good job and it would be fine if someone would raise the money,' J. Wilson, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce chairman, commented.
"I would like to see the whole student body go to the game. But I u- tand there wouldn't be much for the band to do there," Dr. Lawrence C. Woodruff, dean of men, told the University Daily Kansan.
"It would take a lot of work to raise the money but I think it would be worth it," Dean Nesmith, assistant football coach, said.
Will Discuss Speech Plans
High school speech teachers from all over Kansas are meeting at the University today to iron out problems for next spring's speech and drama festival, Allen Crafton, professor of speech said today.
The conference is sponsored by the speech and drama department together with the University Extension to acquaint teachers with requirements of the festival which will be held next March 12 and 13.
The teachers will attend a full dress rehearsal of Noel Coward's play "Blithe Spirit" at 7:30 tonight.
The two days' schedule includes a discussion of 1948 objectives of the speech and drama festival by Professor Crafton, and conferences with individual instructors in the speech office in Green hall.
Other meetings will include several 15 minute discussions on the requirements for each type of speech event.
They're All California Oranges . . .
And Each One Says 'Beat Georgia Tech'
V. C. "Rusty" Springer is stamping "Beat Georgia Tech" in black letters on all the oranges sold in his food market at 1117 Massachusetts street.
Rusty's campaign to keep customers reminded of the big game started Wednesday. He says he will keep stamping until game time. In two days between 2,000 and 4,000 of the stamped oranges have been sold.
A window display for the store in honor of the Jayhawker's great team will be ready in a few days, Rusty said. The display will show plenty of the "Beat Georgia Tech" oranges.
The Orange bowl officials may not like Rusty's idea. The oranges are all from California.
"It's hard to get good oranges from Florida this time of the year," Rusty explained.
