Is Familiar
'The Face

Mr. Mason received his law degree from Northwestern university in 1914. Two years later he became assistant corporation council for the city of Chicago. He served in the Illinois senate from 1922 to 1930.
Wednesday's caricature was of Dean Smith, freshman in the School of Medicine.
"Of course, I want to complete the background first. That includes miniature cities, tunnels, mountains, and things like that. Most of them are just landscapes, and then painted or covered depending on what you are creating."
Railroad Tycoon Millard Grasps For 8 More Trains
U.S. Trade Official To Speak Friday
Business students may meet Mr. Mason at a coffee hour from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday in the English room of the Union.
Of all the recent train crashes, there is one that had no publicity at all. It occurred right here in Lawrence last week. In fact, it happened in Sunnyside, Apartment 3A, when a model train crashed into a divan.
Sgt. Millard's future plans include placing the railroad on board sections that will fold into a case for easy shipping.
"Every part of the set is created to a scale. It is determined by the scale of the trains used. The usual
Plans A Folding Railroad
All of the trains that Sgt. Millard now has have been purchased. However, increased costs have temporary expansion of the miniature railroad.
"I tried making my own trains once and succeeded in making one. Then I gave that part of it up. It 'lakes a lot more patience than I have."
"Right now I have 160 feet of track. Soon, I hope to have eight trains with at least 14 switches."
Sgt. Millard first started his hobby in 1936 with his father's guidance and 14 model trains. The war ended the hobby for a time and only recently did he decide to start the hobby again.
The model railroad is the hobby of Sgt. Arthur Millard, assistant in- or in Military Science.
"We don't have must room for a hobby, so the train runs back of the divan, under chairs, and around various other pieces of furniture. The wreck knocked out the lights on the engine, but outside of that, there was no damage."
Began Hobby In 1936
"Another realistic touch is added to the whole set by smoke capsules placed in the engine. Each capsule will last about an hour. The latest engine I got will also whistle and let off steam much like a real engine."
scale is one inch for every two feet. There is quite a bit of satisfaction in making the model as much like a real railroad as possible."
The set includes remote control track, an electric control station, and a magnetic electric crane. A wrecker that picks up any of the other cars must be worked by hand. Easy To Couple-Uncouple
"With that control station, I can couple and uncouple cars automatically and even load and unload the freight cars automatically."
"Eventually I plan to have a basement about 20 x 40 feet for my hobby. That will give me a chance to create whole districts with miniature mountain ranges, tunnels, river, and all the other background material."
While in Houston, Texas, Sgt. Millard was a member of the Hobby Lobby club.
"I would like to get a club started here. If there are enough fellows interested, we could mark our equipment and then put it together until we had time to make our own set-up."
Wants Club Here
It might be a good idea not to have any divans around, though.

Party To.Examine Proposed Amendment

Applications for places in men's dormitories for the summer and fall semester are now being accepted at the housing office, Mrs. Faye Netzer, director, said today.
Men Can Apply Now For Summer Rooms
"For the first time in many months we have more space than we have occupants. The University dorms are now available in town," he said.
Although the housing problem for single men has disappeared, married students looking for apartments are still without accommodations. Mrs. Netzer reported that already she was leaving school planning to come to school this fall, but that she was unable to give any help.
At present about 350 men are living in the University dormitories which have been put into operation this year. Those men will have priority on space for the summer and fall, but there will be vacancies for others, Mrs. Netzer said.
Vets May Get Do-Re-Mi Soon
Dividends on National Service Life insurance policies will soon be mailed out which may amount to as much as one-third of the premiums paid in whether the policy is lapsed or not, according to officials of the Veterans administration insurance branch in Chicago.
Most K.U. vets will get a little surprise package in the mail one of these days, and it won't be another draft notice.
"We can't say how large this check will be," Lincoln C. Cochune branch director, said. "It will be a sizable amount, perhaps one-third of the premiums paid in. That will mean more than $100 to a lot of fellows."
Checks are to be written as soon as V.A. records are straight. Reason for the dividend, he said, was that war casualties were lower than the estimates used in computing insurance rates.
All policyholders will be eligible for the first dividend, whether their premiums are paid up or not. Cocheu urged, however, that holders act promptly to reinstate their policies This can be done by paying one back premium and one month's current premium before August 1. No physical examination is necessary.
Rohde Favors UN Police Force
A power greater than either the United States or Russian is needed in the United Nations, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Rohde told coffee forum members Wednesday afternoon.
"We would get along much better if we had an international police force," she said.
Pereched on the edge of a desk in the Pine room, Mrs. Rohde answered questions about Russia and the UNO, Communism Too Popular
"We're giving communism too much acclaim," she said. "The way to defeat communism in this country is to make our own system successful."
She felt she was unable to determine Russian reaction to our proposed aid to Greece, but did say, "I would much rather see it handed to the United Nations. It would go fully, but I feel that any aid to Greece should be on approval of the entire UN."
Asked the source of Truman's proposal, she said that it stems from from a previous agreement with a British statement, "or perhaps even England."
Pay Tribute To Spaak
Mrs. Rohde paid tribute to the presiding officer of the assembly, Paul Spak, of Belgium. "He is one of the ablest chairmen I have even observed, and far too little credit is given him."
Senators Arthur Vanderburg and Tom Connally, and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt were also singled out as being outstanding.
Washington—(UP)—Secretary] of the Interior J. A. Krug today charged the United Mine Workers union (A.F.L) with an "almost unbroken record of neglect" in promoting coal mine safety.
