Education Gains 48 Per Cent In Enrollment
"The nation is perhaps beginning to appreciate the value of the teaching profession," George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, commented today upon noting that of the nine schools of the University, the School of Education showed the greatest growth this year. Late enrollees have brought the registration number in the School of Education to 346 students, with the men outnumbering the women 196 to 150, and bringing the percentage increase to 48 per cent that of last fall.
Dean Smith gave the credit for this increase in enrollment to the recent national and international campaigns that have served to publicize the need for teachers, and for increased salaries. Liberal Arts Has 4200
The School of Business, with 730 students, up 44 per cent, was second in growth. Although the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences still maintains the largest enrollment, 4,200, the increase over last year was only two per cent.

Woodruff Clears 'Beanie' Question

Vets Tighten Belt Until November
The Veterans administration has warned veterans who enrolled in Kansas colleges and universities in September that their first subsistence checks will be mailed about November 1.
Officials have advised students to be sure that they have enough money on hand to cover expenses during this period.
Plans have been made at the Wichita office for handling the heavy influx of veteran students, and all departments have been ordered to process payments as rapidly as possible.
Veterans may assist in preventing delays if they cooperate with the school and the Veterans administration. In the past the following reasons have been blamed for delays in subsistence payments:
ONE. Transfers from one region to another.
to another. TWO. Necessary papers delayed in reaching the Veterans administration from schools.
THREE. Incomplete information from school or veteran received by the Veterans administration.

UN Secretary Warns Nations To Compromise
Flushing, N. Y.—(UP)—UN Secretary General Trygve Lie warned the great powers today that continuation of their disunity and suspicion of each other will wreck the United Nations and lead to war.
In a solemn address closing general debate at the UN Assembly, Lie appealed to the great powers—especially the United States and the Soviet Union—to abandon their diplomatic war and "show a willingness to compromise."
to compel L. Lee that it was "impossible" and "intolerable" to think that the differences so flagrantly displayed here during the last week between the U. S. and the USSR should be allowed to lead to another war. All nations want to prevent another war, but he added ominously.
"The greatest difficulty lies in the fact that the great powers suspect each other or each other's intentions. "It is fear which is the great danger. Breed breeds hate and hate breeds danger."
Lie's address was a rebuttal to a week of speeches studded with bitter charges and countercharges, and many references to the possibilities of another war.
The keynote of Lie's appeal was that just as big power unity won the war, so it is equally mandatory to maintain that unity to preserve the peace and prevent another war.
of another war. Reminding the great powers that it was their initiative in the first place which created the United Nations, Lie called upon them to work constantly to moderate their differences and to prevent the splitting of the world into blocs.
Lie, as the chosen representative of all 55 united nations, did not place the blame on any one of the great powers.

First Push-Button Flight Made Across Atlantic
Brize Norton, England—(UP)—The first men in history to fly the Atlantic with a push-button pilot that lifted their U.S. air force C-54 transport off the ground, steered it 2,400 miles and then landed it without a bobble. They planned today to let their mechanical flier take them back home.
None of the 14 men aboard had 60
touch the controls, and Col. James
M. Gillespie, who was in command,
said they might as well have slept.
He opened the throttle to start the
plane down the runway at Stephen-
ville, Newfoundland, at 6 p.m.
E.D.T., Sunday.
Then Gillespie pushed a button marked "Brize Norton" and the preset mechanical controls did all the work for the next 10 hours and 15 minutes, at the end of which Gillespie climbed out at Brize Norton airdrome, west of London.
"Everything went perfectly," he said late last night. "The controls were not touched from the time we
touched the button at Stephenville until we taxied into the hangar. Navigation was preset into the equipment and was fully automatic all the way over the ocean. On landing, automatic impulses fed into the automatic pilot, operating the flaps, putting the wheels down, cutting the throttle and landing."
The push-button pilot, one of the world's great military secrets, and the C-54 Skymaster were closely guarded in a hangar at Brize Norton. The whole airfield, in fact, was heavily guarded by armed troops, who refused to let in anyone without orders.
