Landon Warns Against More Wheat Exports
Garnett — (UP) — Alf M. Landon charged today that Secretary of the Interior Krug had misled the American public on the question of wheat exports and suggested that Krug "confine himself to running his parks."
Landon, addressing the Second District Women's clubs here Wednesday night, warned that soil conditions in the hard winter wheat area are the worst since 1910 and that this nation is "courting disaster" to increase wheat exports 200,000,000 bushels.
The Kansas Republican suggested that the secretary of interior "should confine himself to running his parks and depend on the secretary of agriculture to run his department."
Landon admitted that, "sure, we have a surplus of wheat now, but we won't have—in the face of present soil conditions in the hard winter wheat area which are the worst since 1910—if we cut our surplus to the point where we will not have sufficient to carry over."
own.
Landon said meatless Tuesdays and eggless Thursdays would not do the job.
Krug's action, he said, "illustrates the trouble in Washington. Every department is trying to run the other fellow's department instead of his own."
He sized up the situation with the conclusion that, if we are going to ship more wheat, we must eat less. Otherwise, he said, the spiral of inflation will keep going up and up until this nation crashes economically.
Facsimile Papers To Be Displayed
Radio facsimile newspapers will be exhibited on Editors Day Saturday at the University, Elmer F. Beth, acting director of the William Allen White School of Journalism, said today.
Among the papers will be the world's first radio transmitted paper, produced about nine years ago. There will be copies of the daily facsimile paper published by station WELD, Columbus, Ohio. Photographs of the sending and receiving processes will also be on display. Paners Printed By Radio
Facsimile production of newspapers works on impulses sent on frequency modulation radio wave lengths. A special receiver in the home translates the impulses into a newspaper "printed" in the home.
James Lawrence, news director of station KSD and editor of the first facsimile newspaper, will explain the process of producing daily eighth-hour television programs. Mr. Lawrence will also speak to the University club at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Robert Blakey, editorial writer,
Des Moines Register and Tibune,
will give an analysis of current
affairs entitled, "Two Streams of Democ-
racy."
Miller To Lead Roundtable
Larry Miller, secretary-manager of the Kansas Press association, will
lead the round-table discussions. The Second District Editors association will hold its fall meeting Saturday morning. Leonard McCulla, Jr., publisher of the Anderson Countian, Garnett, is chairman.
Registration for the annual Editors day will begin at 8 a.m. A lunch forum in the Union will follow the discussions, and the editors will then attend the Kansas-Kansas State football game.
'Going, Going,' Yells Crafton As Faculty Is Put To Work
The sale of 19 faculty members gave $423 dollars to the World Student Service Fund drive Wednesday.
By DON VAUGHN
Paced by the fast-talking auctioneer, Allen Crafton, professor of speech, the bidding became spirited as approximately 400 students saw their mentors sold into slavery.
An eleven-piece pep band led by Charles (Kass) Kassinger played during the proceedings.
Professor Crafton dressed in a somewhat battered top hat, frock coat, flowered vest, and white and green checkered trousers, wheeled, cajoled, and smilingly browbeat the crowd into bidding.
Quartet Brings $80
Top money, $80, was paid for a quartet consisting of Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College; L. C. Woodruff, dean of men; Russell Wiley, associate professor of band; and Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science.
The dean of women would not approve Chancellor Deane Malott as a house mother.
"This quartet will sing such old favorites as "The Cabin Where the Old Folks Died," and 'A Rose From My Angel Mother's Grave,' boasted the auctioneer.
No Approval For Malott
"If I'm worth that much, maybe I'd better work at home."
"We cannot o.k. him because we have certain standards to meet," said Miss Habein, "But he is all right for any other house work."
As the bidding on him neared $50,
the cancellor remarked,
The 20 trophies and the silver at the Pi Kappa Alpha house will glean with new luster soon. A. B. Leonard, associate professor of zoology, will polish them while the pledge class, which bought him, will try to learn his technique.
Riding on the handlebars of a bicycle pedaled by Calvin Vander-Werf, associate professor of chemistry, Helen Ward, education junior, will be on time to her classes. Leonard To Polish Silver
"Yessir, folks, no house should be without metal polish and this is the best there is," intoned the auctioneer.
F. C. Allen, attired in a basketball warm-up, was sold to Alpha Delta
"He's a sturdy animal who answers to the name of 'Phog'. He's still sound of wind and limb and has lots of service in him yet," chanted Professor Crafton.
the thirst of the Theta Tau football team will be quenched by their new water girl, Miss Mary Lewis, Romance language instructor.
A Spanish meal will be served to the Delta Gamma sorority by Miss Agnes Brady, assistant professor of Romance languages.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, bought the rights to see the premiere of the film prepared this summer by L. R. Laudon, professor of geology, while on a field trip in Canada. Dean Lawson will also be phone at boy耳 Pi Beta Phi house.

Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women, and John Blocker, professor of accounting, will act as receptionists and answer the phones on a date night at Pi Kappa Alpha and Corbin hall respectively.
'Phog Still Sturdy'
"She learned to carry that water during haying season, when she would run all over the north 40," explained the auctioneer.
"Old Tombstone Lawson, as he used to be called, is a mighty handy man to have around the house. He really knows how to get along with the woman folks," recollected Crafton.
Donald Dixon, assistant professor of speech, and T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering, will wait tables at Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Alpha Theta. Miss Habein, dean of women, will serve at Locksley hall.
The Progressive party has chosen Robert Rygh as their candidate for president of the freshman class. He was elected Wednesday.

Slide Rules Disappear
"The student should put his name on the rule itself and on the case. He should record the serial number of the slide rule for future identification in case the rule is stolen.
L. E. Woolley, union bookstore manager, suggested two means of protecting against such losses of slide rules.
Sticky fingers have been operating during this critical shortage of good slide rules.
Mr. Woolley added that the Union bookstore is on the lookout for any stolen slide rule that some student may try to sell.
"Serial numbers are located on the edge of the rule, on the edge of the indicator, and on the face of the rule."
Cinderella Search Begins Tomorrow
Cinderella's coach will arrive on the campus tomorrow for the Pumpkin Prom Saturday in the Union ballroom.
Their Double Identity Is Their Double Indemnity
Six coachmen will descend from the coach at various intervals along Jayhawk drive and choose girls at random. They will try to fit the cinderella slipper to some girl's foot in the old tradition.
Double trouble for teachers are James W. Black and James W. Black, engineering sophomores.
Bugles will accompany the coach and sound fanfares as each girl is chosen for the fitting of the slipper.
These two Lawrence boys are not related, but this problem of double identity goes deeper in the same way both have brothers named Charles.
It might seem that these two would be causing enough wrinkles in the already furrowed brows of the school authorities without appearing together. But they sit side by side in the same physics class.
CORETo Visit Carlson Today
The Committee on Racial Equality will send a delegation of students to Topeka today to see Governor Frank Carlson and members of the state legislature.
The delegation will urge that the recommendations of President Truman's committee on civil rights be followed closely in Kansas.
Mr. Truman's committee recommended Wednesday that Congress and the state legislatures outlaw segregation and discrimination based on race, color, creed or national origin in such places as trains, busses, schools, hospitals, theaters, hotels, restaurants. the armed services. and private employment.
Robert Stewart, C.O.R.E. chairman, said that C.O.R.E. believes that the present civil rights laws in Kansas are not enforced and are not adequate "because city councils are able to get around the law by passing local ordinances."
A committee of C.O.R.E. members was appointed to organize a letter writing campaign to President Truman and Kansas senators and representatives urging that Congress pass federal legislation outlawing segregation and discrimination.
AICE Lists Programs
Head football coach George Sauer and Haynes of the Kansas City Star are on the tentative list of speakers for programs of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, program chairman Forrest Wilson said Wednesday.
Professional men in the chemical industry and movies also are scheduled. he added.
Newly appointed committee chairmen are John Bossi, publicity; Jack Ferriss, social; Forrest Wilson, program; and John Irwin, constitutional lawyer.
Russell Messler was elected correspondent secretary.
ASME To Be Host At Banquet
The University chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will be host to the Kansas State student chapter and the Kansas City, Mo., professional chapter at a banquet and meeting at 7 p. m. Nov. 7 in the Union.
Ernest E. Howard, consulting engineer, will be the principal speaker.
Banquet tickets can be purchased from the ticket committee or reservations made this week through Prof. Harry Daash's office.
Members may sign up for committees during these two days also. Committees open for members are meetings committee, membership committee, social committee, coordinating committee, inspection trips committee, papers committee, and publicity committee.
Calls President To Take Action On Civil Rights
Rep. George Mackinnon, R. Minn., said it is squately up to the administration whether the committee's recommendations become law.
Washington—(UP)—A Republican congressman challenged President Truman to take the first step toward backing up his civil rights committee by demanding passage of antipoll tax legislation.
The report received high praise from Americans for Democratic Action, CIO President Philip Murray, the National Council for a Permanent Fair Employment Practices Act and other organizations.
In congress, even staunch administration supporters agreed there was little likelihood the recommended legislation would be passed in the foreseeable future. It might pass the house, they said, but it almost certainly would be filibustered to death in the senate by southern Democrats.
The anti-poll tax bill passed the house in the waning days of the last session and was not considered by the senate. Sen. Irving M. Ives, R., N.Y., also has a bill before the senate labor committee to wipe out discrimination.
Sen. Scott Lucas, D., III., said the report "deals courageously with some fundamentals the people of this country must recognize sooner or later—the sooner the better." His views were echoed by several other senators and representatives.
Civil Service To Close File
"Graduate students interested in entering government service should contact either Dr. E. O. Stene or myself before Nov. 4," Ethan P. Allen, director of the political science department, said today.
That is the final day to file for a Civil Service examination for a Junior Professional Assistant rating, according to a letter received from the National Institute of Public Affairs, he said.
The most able of those taking the examination will be admitted to the institute. This is a school which was founded by a Rockefeller grant and which is devoted to the training of government officials.
"Specialities most desired are administration, archeology, astronomy, bacteriology, chemistry, economics, engineering, geography, law, mathematics, metallurgy, physics, psychology, social science, and statistics," he said.
"Financial condition will be no problem this year," Dr. Allen said. Previously, the applicant had no government support, but now the ratings have been authorized."
Health Consultant To Talk
Lewis W. Andrews, community health consultant of the state board of health, will speak on public health education at 7:30 p.m. today at the Congregational parish house, 925 Vermont. The meeting will be sponsored by the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy and is open to University students and faculty members.
Spanish Club To Elect
Club officers will be elected at a meeting of El Ateneo tonight at 7:30 in 113 Frank Strong hall. Members will tell Spanish proverbs and join in group singing.
