Russia Names Nine U.S.'Warmongers'
Vishinsky Asks Punishment For Newspaper Propagandists
United Nations Hall, Flushing, N.Y.—(UP)—Soviet Russia's demand that the U.S. be branded guilty of "warmongering" and that the American press be denied freedom to criticize the U.S.S.R. "on pain of criminal punishment" headed today for overwhelming United Nations rejection.
Soviet Delegate Andrei visinsky ing U.S. delegate to the U.N. John Foster Dulles, as leading "warmongers."
Wants Criminal Punishment
The key feature of Vishinsky's proposal would render liable to "internal punishment" any newspaper, radio station, movie or public speaker adjudged guilty of carrying on war propaganda.
The general reaction to Vishiksky's slashing attack was that he overplayed his hand in a shocking manner. Some believed he may have destroyed some support he might have counted on to fight Secretary of State George C. Marshall's proposal to revamp the UN and, as Russia charges, abolish the Security Council and its veto for the big powers.
The immediate interpretation of the proposal by the western powers was that the Soviet Union would impose on them the same kind of controlled press and restraints on freedom of speech existing within the Soviet Union.
Rep. William J. Dorn, D., S. C
Names 'Warmongers'
Vishinsky named the following nine Americans as "warmongers":
Virgil Jordan, president of the National Industrial Conference Board.
George H. Earle, former governor of Pennsylvania and former U. S. minister to Bulgaria and Hungary
Rep. Charles A. Eaton, R., N. J. chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee and a delegate to the UN San Francisco Conference which drafted the UN charter.
Sen. Brien McMahon, D., Conn.
former chairman of the Congressional Atomic Energy Commission.
Sen. C. Wayland Brooks, R., Ill.
Sen. C. W.
Maj. J. John R. Deane, former
head of the U. S. military mission in
Moscow.
Praisley Harwood, vice president of Cutler-Hammer, Inc., Milwaukee Wis.
Dulles, chief Republican party spokesman on foreign affairs and long a Republican advisor and delegate to international conferences, both at the UN and at the Council of Foreign Ministers.
Dulles denied today that he advocated "a tough foreign policy towards the Soviet Union" in an address in Chicago last Feb. 10.
"I did not make the statement Mr. Mishinsky attributed to me," he said. "I have repeatedly said, and I again say that another war need not and mustnot be. And I have directed myself to that end."
Must Have Showdown
Representative Eaton said that "a showdown with Russia was inevitable."
"We, and the rest of the world, are forced to deal with Russia as the militant instrument of an ideology whose avowed objective is world conquest by world revolution, and whose motives and methods are as nominal or unnatural as those of a hungry tiger," he added.
Needs Time To Cut Grass
Harwood said, "All I want is peace and quiet and time to cut the grass at my house. I had a boy shot up in the last war and certainly don't want another."
A representative for Dr. Jordan said he had no comment.
Warron R. Austin, permanent U.S. delegate to the United Nations, said he objected to the fact that Vishinsky failed to include him on his list.
George H. Earle said last night that he was "delighted" over being called a warmonger.
Funeral Saturday For KU Friend
Funeral services for George P
Spears, proprietor of the DeLuxe
cafe who died Thursday, will be at
4 p.m. Saturday at Trinity Episcopal
church with the Rev. Donald O
Weatherbee officiating.
Spears, who was born in Kiaton, Greece, was known to many University students whom he had aided in many ways. He was willing to offer a student a free meal or even a financial boost if that was necessary
Spears had completed only a high school education but was a firm believer in college training. His reason for opening his restaurant in Lawrence 30 years ago was because he wanted to be in a college town.
Search Continues For Housing
If you're thinking about Sunny-side or Sunflower as your future home, you'd better forget about it.
Mrs. Faye Netzer, housing director, said that the housing office is trying to find private rooms in Lawrence for students who still haven't a place to live. Sunnyside and Sunflower are filled, but there is a small way of hope—some cancellations are coming in.
The housing office also expects a few cancellations for the men's dormitories—McCook, Oread, Smith, and pooner-Thayer—which hold 324 men.
University Men Named In Petition
The petition explains that Mrs. Freeark entered into an oral arrangement with three men to make soix sewing instruction films, with the profits divided equally. The petition states that after the first film was produced the men informed her that the remaining five would be made by the Centron Corporation of which Montgomery, Mosser, and Wolf were sole stockholders.
Attorney for Mrs. Thelmia Freeark, former Haskell Institute instructor, have filed suit in district court requesting the court to prohibit the newly formed Centron Corporation of Lawrence from marketing and making filings. The petition was signed by Montgomery, director of the K.U. bureau of visual instruction, Russell Mosser, member of the bureau, and Arthur Wolf, president, as defendants.
Hutchinson. Kan. —(UP)—Three Hutchinson Negroes have filed suit for damages against the Kansas State Fair association and Ray Bright, a concessionaire.
Thwarted By Nudist Show,
Negroes File Damage Suit
Crafton Sees Better Actors In Fall Crop
They charged they were denied admission to a nudist show on the fair grounds. Each plaintiff asked $4,000 damages. The three were Wade Tennyson, Lee Hill and Harrison Williams.
Students trying out for all-University plays are fewer in number this year but higher in quality, Allen Crafton, professor of speech, said today.
"We had only 60 or 70 people trying out for the two plays to be given this semester, but the quality and experience of those who tried out was higher than ever before. Virtually everyone who tried out was good enough to be included on our list of those eligible for parts," he declared.
"Our plays this year will be of a higher caliber than formerly because the actors are older and more experienced in most cases. For instance in young woman has had several years radio experience in New York. A man who will have parts in our plays this fall has had Hollywood acting experience." Professor Crafton said.
"Joan of Lorraine" by Maxwell Anderson and "Bilthe Spirit" by Noel Coward are tentatively scheduled for those dates but no final decision has been reached yet, Professor Crafton said.
Two all-University plays are scheduled this semester. The first of these will be presented on October 22 and the second on December 8.
The preliminary tryouts for the fall semester were held Thursday in the Little Theater in Green hall. Those who qualified will be given further tryouts later and be selected for parts in the forthcoming plays.
Catholics Will Get Acquainted Tonight
All Catholic students, with or without dates, are urged to attend the Newman club mixer in the Kansas room of the Memorial union building at 9 tonight, President William Conroy, College junior, said today.
"Stag men and women will have plenty of opportunity to get together during the evening." Conroy said. "The program will include enough ice-breakers to get everyone acquainted. Awards will be given the men who dance with the most different women during the evening."
Chaperons for the mixer include Mr. and Mrs. Emil L. Telfel, Mr. and Mrs. John Riling, the Rev. George Towle, and Miss Mary Towle.
Of the 41 foreign students accepted by the University this semester only 12 have arrived on the campus, Willis Thompkins, chairman of the faculty committee for foreign students announced Thursday. Thompkins attributed the late arrival of the students to difficulties in obtaining ocean passage.
K U Enrolls 41 Foreign Students
Service Group Asks For New Members

Robert L. Wehe, president, explained the requirements for membership and gave a brief outline of the objectives of the national service organization. University and community projects during spare time during the next year were explained to the new students. Plans for projects for the new school year will be considered at future meetings.
K-Books Still Available At K U Business Office

Most of the K-Books have already been distributed to freshment and upperclassmen, Warwick said. A few are being reserved for faculty members and the remainder will be sold as soon as possible.
Work Begins On Two Buildings
Construction of two emergency classroom and laboratory buildings was started today at the University of Kansas. The Constant Construction company of Lawrence holds the contract for the two which will add more than 7,000 square feet of floor space.
One building will be on the promontory overlooking Memorial stadium. This is already the site of five temporary structures. The second, a natural science laboratory, will be in rear of Snow hall.
The Federal Works agency paid for moving the buildings from the Herington army air base. The University is bearing the construction costs.
The Underwood Constructon company has been given the contract for laying a new sidewalk in front of the four Locksley hall dormitories on McCook and Illinois streets.
To Attend UN Meeting
Jean O, Moore, second year law student, is attending the United Nations assembly at Lake Success as a result of a speech he made last spring before the American League of Woman Voters.
Moore is attending this year's opening sessions of the U.N. after a speech of his was selected as the outstanding contribution at a convention of the women's voting group
Moore is national chairman of the Intercollegiate United Nations assembly as well as chairman of the K.U. United Nations assembly.
Accompanying Moore to Lake Success as a representative of the Mid-American College congress was Miss May Christian of Christian college, Columbia, Mo.
Pledges Stage First Walkout
The first Greek walkout of the year was staged today at 4 a.m. by pledge classes of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Gamma Delta.
The more ambitious members of the Phi Gams got up at 4 am. to disturb their brothers' rest and to disarrange the house. They removed the roof, and deposited it on the lawn in front of Frank Strong hall.
The rest of the morning they spent driving around the campus, in crepe-paper decorated cars, searching for upperclassmen to dunk in Potter lake.
They refused to disclose plans for the rest of the day except to say that they planned a picnic in some unnamed spot to end the day's activities.
People Flee As Gulf Storm Rips New Orleans
New Orleans—(UP)—A devastating hurricane struck New Orleans and the gulf coast today, causing hugh property damage, floods and casualities.
A Negro housing project was largely wiped away here and many buildings downtown were damaged.
At 11:30 a.m. the center of the storm had moved 20 miles northwest of New Orleans in the direction of Baton Rouge which already felt high winds.
The weather bureau said the storm would carry hurricane winds into southern Arkansas by tonight. Cars Float Like Corks
A reporter in Biloxi, Miss., said cars were "floating like corks" on the streets near the beach there as the storm whipped hugh waves onto the land. The tide at Biloxi was 15 to 25 feet above normal.
The storm struck directly at the mouth of the Mississippi, sending waters of the big stream swirling over the low country south of here. New Orleans, which lies below sea level in a bend of the river, hoped its seawall along the Mississippi would protect it from floods. In Auditorium
Sheltered in Auditorium Some 2,500 persons were sheltered in the municipal auditorium. Two mothers gave birth to babies there and were taken safely to a hospital in ambulances.
2. 500 Sheltered In Auditorium
the torrential rains flooded some streets knee deep in the city and to the north of New Orleans a large area was flooded by the overflowing waters of Lake Pontchattrain. The U. S. Naval air station near the lake was completely under water.
Two thousand persons had been hurriedly evacuated from the lake area just before the full force of the storm struck. Some of the army trucks transporting them were trapped by roads blocked by water and the evacuees walked and scrambled to dry areas.
Evacuate University Housing
At 9.45 a.m. the tremendous rains and winds suddenly stopped and the skies lightened. It was believed the dead calm center of the hurricane was passing over.
University Housing Wooden barracks housing G-I students at Tulane University were evacuated.
THOUSANDS of persons swarmed into the streets during the calm and they were urgently warned by radio to get back inside. The second part of the hurricane was expected to be a worse blow than the first.
Shortly after 10 a.m., the winds and rains in the backlash of the storm began whipping the city.
News Of The World
Use Full Address Abraham Says
R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the University mail station, asks that all students inform their families and friends of their correct Lawrence addresses, including the street and number. Fraternities, sororites and other organized houses are asked to use the street address instead of the house name.
Faulty addresses slow the mail service, and cause additional work for the registrar's office, Mr. Abraham added.
"There have been quite a number of unstamped letters arriving recently," he said. "This also slows mail service."
President Truman Returns
Norfolk, Va., — (UP) — President Truman returned to the United States today to fave critical domestic and international problems that piled up during his 10,845-mile air and sea trip to South America.
As the big battleship Missouir which brought the presidential party home from Rio De Janeiro slid carefully through the waters of this
naval operating base, a 21-gun salute boomed out from shore. The Missour returned the salute while still underway.
The presidential yacht Williamsburg waited on the north side of the pier to carry Mr. Truman, his wife and daughter Margaret up Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River to Washington.
