Congress Gets Unification Plan
Washington. (UP)—President Tru-
nan today sent to congress lea-
sonation to "unify" the army, navy and air
forces under a single secretary of na-
tional defense.
The measure would set up a national defense establishment under which would be a department of the army, navy and department of the air force.
Each unit of the new unified defense establishment would operate under its own secretary who would be responsible directly to the secretary of national defense, and who would have no cabinet rank. The war department would be known as the department of the army and the title of the secretary of war would be re-used to secretary of the army.
The navy, which had opposed the proposals for an actual merger, won major point by preserving under its command its own air forces.
A. U.S. air force would be created under the new air force department. The army air forces, the air corps of the U.S. army, and the general headquarters air force (air force combat command) would be transferred an incorporated into the U.S. air force.
The president would appoint an air forces chief of staff who would aborb the functions of the present commanders.

Everyone May Attend Sunflower Dances
All K.U. students, married or single, residents of Sunflower or not, are invited to attend the weekly dances being given at Sunflower, Mrs. Kay Annons, president of the Sunflower Civic association, announced today.
In addition to the sponsoring of dances during the winter, the Sunflower Civic association, organized for service to the 600 families living at Sunflower, is now making plans for summer recreation, including building of tennis courts, organization of softball teams, and other outdoor sports.
The dances are held at 9 p.m. every Saturday night in the Sunflower Community hall. Music is furnished by a five piece band of professional musicians, residents of Sunflower village.
- Mr. Quigley's letter, a reply to a six-point query written to him recently by the council, gave details of the arrest and conviction of two tick- et sellers who were arrested during the football season. The dispute had arisen when the athletic director previously refused to comment on the subject.
The text of the letter written to the All-Student Council by E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, is printed on the editorial page of the Daily Kansan. The letter explains the expulsion last fall of two students for illegally selling football tickets.
Put In Orders Now To Get Jayhawker
The council also voted to appeal to the board of regents for an amendment to the ruling requiring students who are hospitalized during enrollment to pay fines for late enrollment. Three recent cases were presented at the meeting and judged to be unfair to the enrollees.
Because of the financial losses which have occurred this year, the A.S.C. rejected a requested appropriation of $350 by the reorganized club for business students, known as the Associated Students of the School of Business. A bill to pay half of the debt of the Jayhawk Nibble held last fall was returned unpaid to the Union activities committee.
Commencement issues of the Jayhawker magazine will be available before final week, but only enough extra copies to supply those who put their orders in now will be on hand, according to Richard Carmean, business manager.
Details of the national conference on campus student government to be held in Baton Rouge, La., on April 14-17 were outlined by chairman John Irwin, engineering sophomore. The council voted to send two delegates to the meeting.
Among amendments adopted last night was a bill empowering the A.S.C. to fix the prices of admission on all-school dances. Another amendment limited election expenditures to 50 for general to freshman elections, and $100 for the period from freshman to general elections. Violation of this provision was set at $50 fine.
New students sworn in as council members to fill vacancies were: Betty van der Smissen, College sophomore, representing I.S.A.; Allan Cromley, College senior of P.S.G.L.; and Paul Carpenter, College senior and freshman medical student, representing Pachacamae.
The correct procedure is to pay $1.15 at the Jayhawk office now and the issue will be mailed to the address left by the purchaser.
"This issue will present beauty queens, pictures of members of the class of '47, and the year's past academic activities." Carnean explained. Selling of extra copies applies only commencement issue
