Just Where Are Those Two-Bit Roasts, Clint?
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press, Staff
United Press Staff Correspondent Washington — (UP) - Clinton P. Anderson, our secretary of agriculture, can chop this dismash into confetti and eat it on his 25-cent-a-pound rib roast. That'll teach him not to embarrass a taxpayer.
not to embark on a mission.
Clint is the gent who announced in Albuquerque, N. M., that we are fools for paying $1 a pound for steaks, when we can buy rib roasts for a quarter.
I clutched a copy of his speech in my hot little hand. Grabbed a 14th street trolley for the Arcade market. Debarked at this, one of the biggest collections of butchers and grocers in the east.
95c Raf Cheese
Paid little heed to the delicatessens where rat cheese was 95 cents a pound and eggs 92 cents a dozen. I ordered the 65-cent roasting chickens and the 97-cent butter. And made a bee-line to the meat stands. I told the butcher that I wanted an economical rib roast. He said did I want the 75-cent roast, or the 80-center without so much bone?
I said I wanted the two-bit kind. Clint, he insulted me. I showed him your speech about intelligent petting 25-cent. Then, Mr. Sesame, he insulted you. He was in the face and said . . . He Wasn't Nice, Clint
He Wasn't Nice, Clint
But I shall not repeat what he said, Clint, because he got less respectful as he went along. The cheapest meat he had was brains at 29 cents a pound.
My next butcher was a skinny individual with a weary expression and I took no chances on him. I kept quiet about your speech, Clint, said quiet him what was his best buy?
He said, sirlin steak at 93 cents a pound. I wouldn't fool you. Clint. He said it was good, solid eating, with a minimum of bone. Rib roast? Pha, he said. He hauled out a rib roast, and proved to my satisfaction that it was about 40 per cent bone, gristle, and suet.
There Is Always Tongue
THIS IS MAY 18.
This has an 80-cent roast beef good deal more per bite than a dollar steak. Clint. Any way you figure it. Cheapest he had was tongues, fanned out like octopus legs, at 39 cents. Special price.
at.
On by the fish stands was the lowest pried meat in the place. It soon mostly tallow, with a narrow oak of red in the middle. As nodoscript a piece of meat as ever made a butcher hang his head. Twenty-nine cents a pound. No bargain, the man said.
Keep Your Shirt On For X-Rays
They shoot you with your shirt on at Watkins hospital's X-ray program for the detection of tuberculosis.
The service for students, faculty, and employees will continue through Saturday morning. Hours are from 1 to 5 p.m. today, 8 a.m. to noon, 1 to 5 p.m. Friday, and 8 to noon Saturday.
There's no undressing. Just a card at the reception desk, step up to the X-ray and that's that.
Guidance Office Begins Third Year
The bureau has helped nearly 2,500 persons in vocational, educational, personal, and social counseling since 1944.
Assisting students to make better vocational choices is only one of the functions of the Vocational Guidance Bureau.
"With the high rate of registration this year, last year's record of 1,250 cases handled by the guidance bureau should be excelled," said Dr. A. H. Turney, director of the guidance bureau.
Started As Vet Service
The guidance bureau which was originally set up as a service to vetrans, now is open to all students regularly enrolled in the University.
Students desiring the bureau's services should register in annex B. Frank Strong hall, to schedule a preliminary interview. The interview will enable the student to present his problem to the counselor who will arrange for further interviews and a testing program. After the tests have been completed, scored and properly arranged, one or more interviews will be scheduled. Counseling Aids Decision
Interpretation of the test scores by the counselor helps the student to make a wiser and sounder choice than he might make without the benefit of counseling.
The bureau is set up to give as many tests and interviews to students as may be necessary, although from 10 to 12 hours is the average length of time it takes a student to go through the bureau.
News Of The World
There is no charge for University students for this service.
APO Meets Tonight
Alcha Phi Omega, scouting fraternity, will meet at 7 p.m. tonight at Potter lake. All those former scouts who were contacted in the registration line are asked to be present.
'Little Flower' Gravely Ill
New York—(UP)—Former Mayor Forrester H. Le Guarda slept deeply today and his physician said that it was doubtful that the city's beloved "Butch," gravely ill at his home, would ever awaken.
LaGuardia served the city as mayor for 12 years, longer than any other man except Richard Varkie who served from 1789 to 1801.

LaGuardia's physician, said "There have been no indications of improvement and it is not expected that he will regain full consciousness."
La Guardia, 64, collapsed at his home Tuesday night. He rallied only slightly from the coma yesterday and took a little nourishment. He was suffering from a pancreas condition which had gradually limited his activities since his decision in 1945 not to seek reelection.

L. D. Cooper, engineer, told officers the streamliner was traveling at about 70 miles per hour at the time of the accident and continued for about a mile after the impact before he could bring the train to a stop.
Police said the women were returning home from a Methodist church picnic at Camp Bide-A-Wee just west of the scene of the accident.

Freshmen have bought 1,100 freshman caps, but no one knows how they are going to be made to wear them.
1,100 Caps Sold To Freshmen
to wear them.
The rules state that the caps must be worn everywhere on the campus between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. until the final gun ends the Homecoming game. The caps are to be worn in a jaunty fashion on the back of the head.
When asked how the rules would be enforced, Ralph Kiene, secretary of the Owl society, admitted that nothing definite has been settled on the matter of punishment for offenders. He said that enforcement would probably have to be handled by the All Student Council, and that possibly offending freshmen would be denied their rights to vote in student elections.
Music lovers of the University and Lawrence are offered a second series of six chamber music concerts in addition to the regular University concert series.
The favorite punishment in past years has been the paddle line, a device no longer available to upper-classmen. One year, the freshmen, disusted with the lack of enforcement, took matters in their own hands and punished their fellow classmates.
Six Concerts Are Added
The chamber music concerts will open Oct. 20 with the ballad and folk song singer, John Jacob Niles. The Walden String quartet will play Dec. 1. On Feb. 11 and 12 the internationally recognized Roth String quartet will be presented. The Albene Brierti Trio of violin, cello, and piano will close the series in two final concerts.

The course is subsidized by funds from the University Concert series and tickets are available at the Fine Arts office. Student activity tickets will not admit.
The regular University concert course will feature the dancers Veloz and Yolande on Feb. 19, Dean Swarthout said. They will take the place of the previously announced Ballet Theater.
The University series will open Oct. 27 with the Metropolitan soprano, Eleanor Steber, in a full concert program. The Chilean pianist, Claudio Arrau, will play Dec. 3. On March 3 the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, directed by Thor Johnson, will be presented. This will be followed by the performance of the young American violinist, Patricia Travers, on March 15. The all-star series will close April 7 with a recital by the concert baritone, John Charles Thomas. Mr. Thomas last sang at the University in 1935.

Bucket Or Broiler, It's Still Too Much
George Miller denied nothing except the beating. He did not hit her seven times with a broiler. He hit her only three times with a lunch bucket. ___
Donor Dies In Kansas City
The donor of the 320 piece porcelain collection in Spooner Thayer museum died recently in Kansas City. She was Mrs. Harriet Call Burnap. She and her husband gave the bulk of their collection of pottery objects to the Nelson art gallery in Kansas City, Mo., and another collection of 300 pieces to the Potsdam museum in New York.
900 Guests Make Beds
Philadelphia — (UP) The 900 guests at the plush Bellevue-Straford hotel made their own beds today because of a strike of nearly 700 members of the Hotel and Restaurant Workers union (C.I.O).
Will Soviet Quit UN? Inside Sources Say 'No'
United Nations Hall, Flushing. N.Y.—(UP)—In the crowded public lobby and visitor's galleries the school teacher from Yuma, the salesman from Dubuque and the college freshman from Boston wonder out loud whether Russia will quit the U.N.
In places where it counts the answer today seem to be an emphatic "No."
Unlike the millions of Americans—42 per cent by a recent public opinion poll—who fear a Soviet walkout, the statesmen and experts who speak for the United States and Great Britain in the U. N., apparently think there is no chance the Soviets will leave.
No Hints From Russia
And the correspondents who regularly patrol the UN beat can't recall when any Soviet representative has given the slightest hint that Russia has considered such a step.
The outside world may be worrying about a Soviet walkout with ever increasing anxiety as Russia and America get down to brass knuckles in the general assembly. But the considered view in responsible sectors, of the UN diplomatic corps can be summed up as this:
It would not be realistic or practical politics for Russia to quit the world organization. And it would be equally unwise and unrealistic for the western powers to try to force the Soviets out of the world organization which in two short years has been transformed by the two big powers from the pedestal of one world to the battleground for two worlds.

High Safety Record Set By Bus Drivers
Lawrence city busses are involved in only one accident in more than 25,000 miles, an analysis of bus drivers' records for the past four years shows.
Rio de Janeiro—(UP) — Former King Carol of Rumania and Magda Lupescu will sail for Lisbon Saturday to make their home in Portugal, a spokesman for them reported today.
Must Keep Russia In
The analysis, made by the Safety council in connection with the Safety Week campaign, lists only 48 accidents in 1,222.275 miles traveled over Lawrence streets. E. N. Taylor, driver of a Haskell bus, holds the company record with nine years of driving without a chargeable accident.
Cooperation from the motoring public and the feeling of responsibility by the drivers are the reasons given by Joe Wilson, manager of the company, for the record.
This feeling was not unanimous among diplomats of the 55 United Nations but it apparently dominates the thinking of the big powers and the governments which generally support them.
It can be reported that one of the primary limitations imposed by Secretary of State George C. Marshall on his current assembly "cold war" with Russia is a rule that nothing the United States does in trying to win the present struggle with the Soviet must be allowed to force them out of the organization.
To insure this, Marshall has carefully laid down the rule that American diplomats must always leave Russia with room to retreat gracefully when they are driven to defeat in this or that diplomatic maneuver.

Jayhawk Drive Now Like A Busy Day On Times Square
When 1600 people apply for parking permits with University facilities able to handle only 900 automobiles, there's bound to be some confusion.
To help meet this crowded condition, traffic regulations must be strengthened and enforced, Prof. J. A. Trovillo, chairman of the parking commission, said today.
Traffic must be kept to the right around the drive at the west end of Jayhawk drive. Bus Stop Moved

Zone I, from 11th and Mississippi up to 13th and Mississippi is about half completed. When finished it will handle a 100-car capacity. The cars will be parked on the diagonal to utilize the fullest amount of space, while concrete posts and steel cable will be used to outline the lot. Zone "A" Now Free
Zone "A" which was a free zone last year has been enlarged and is now a permit zone. It is located off the West Campus road and entering it will be from 11th street west of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house.
"Despite the congestion, considerable progress has been made towards easing the trouble." Professor Troville said. "The building and grounds crew has done a fine job in setting up markers painting parking zones, and constructing the new zones."
