Start With Men For Better World Arnall Declares
"If we are to have a better and more courageous world, we must start in the hearts and minds of men and women," Ellis Arnalt, former Georgia governor, declared in his talk given at Fooch auditorium. Friday night.
Lasting world peace can not be insured by merely preparing for war, or making war more destructive through the use of atomic weapons, nor can peace be guaranteed by the existence of international organizations and agreements, Arnall said. To what he termed the "human equation" Mr. Arnall affirmed that a better world can only be the product of better people.
Mr. Arnall explained that, in undertaking any progressive program in this country, we must give first consideration to breaking down sectionism and internal misunderstanding, as well as including in the plan much needed improvements in education, health, individual economic opportunities, and constant evaluation and revision of government.
"We can have justice, good will, and understanding internationally only after putting our own house in good order," he continued, asserting, "I am more interested in the voting conditions in America than in those of Poland. The place to start for you and me is where we are."
"It is our duty to see to it that this country leads the way in world progress, continuing to grow, to expand, to utilize its resources, and to give people greater opportunities." Mr. Arrell said.
"More adequate and better educational facilities is the only hope for combating intolerance, bigotry, and misunderstanding," said Mr. Arnall who, during his term as governor, saw his home state of Georgia raised from 47th to 4th place in the nation's local school administration standing, with an accompanying increase in teachers' salaries of 120 per cent.
Calling for a three-way balance of economy in agriculture, industry, and service businesses to augment the national income, Mr. Arnall said "It is time to re-admit the South and the North for equal economic equality. This country can not exist half colonial appendage and half imperial domain."

Dean Gibson and Stanley Nelson took first place in the recent bridge tournament. Second were Earl Pickrell and Phillip Wade. Third place winners were William Justus and Marvin Wiebe; fourth place, Milton Bloodgood and Manus Foster.

A 15-minute discussion of the needs of state schools for additional dormitories will be broadcast over IBW. Toneka, at 10:15 tonight.
Two years after the first emigrants had arrived and pitched their tents on north campus hill, the sheriff, Simon Jones, a notorious pro-slavery zealot, organized a force, surrounded the Free-State hotel, and began banging away at the foundation of the "meeting house of the abolitionist" with a cannon called "Old Sacramento." (Citizens said later that most of the rounds missed entirely and went over the roof.) When the cannoning failed to knock down the sturdy hotel, Jones burned it. Old Sacramento now rests in peace in the Lawrence room.
To Discuss Dormitory Question On WIBW
The broadcast is in support of house bill no. 157, which would provide $4,000,000 for dormitories at the five state schools. KU would receive $1,000,000 under this bill.
The walls of the room are covered with pictures of the first settlers of Yankee Town, Wakarusa, New Boston, or Lawrence, as it is called today. An oil painting of the man for whom Lawrence is named, Amos Lawrence, dominates the north wall of the room. Mr. Lawrence was secretary of the New England Emigrant society, the members of which were the first settlers here. Several maps and sketches show typical log, sod, and pole and thatch houses of the early settlers.
A high score of 169 was posted by Jack E. Gove, College freshman. Other team members were Lawrence Mische, engineering freshman, Wayne Burnett, engineering freshman, Billy B. Bryant, pharmacy freshman, and Cleo Blodgett, College freshman.
"Fifty-two N. R. O. T. C. units throughout the country participated in the Hearts trophy competition," said Captain Anderson. The postal gallery system is used for the match.

Hand pikes, cannon, pictures, rifles, and swords, all intricately woven into the unsettled history of early Lawrence, are on display at K.U. These relics date to the time when Lawrence was a struggling settlement of abolitionists surrounded by pro slavery brigands who murdered, burned and pilfered in their efforts to make Kansas a slave state.
Although the Lawrence room, which contains the display, is in Watson library, few of the hundreds of students who visit the building hourly know of its existence.
Hobart Hanson, of the extension division of K.U. secured housing for the participants at sorority and fraternity houses and appointed judges. Eighteen University students, five Lawrence business men, 20 members of the University faculty, and faculty members from Kansas State, Ottawa University, and Baker University judged the debates.
Two trophies were awarded each division by E. A. Thomas, commissioner of Kansas State High Schools Association.
A Beecher's Bible stands in a corner. Such a Bible was described by Henry Ward Beecher as having more moral power or influence over the "renegades" of Kansas than 100 Bibles. Beechers Bible is the now famous Sharp's rifle mentioned in most westerns.
Lawrence once had a true Dutch style windmill. Lawrence room pictures prove it. The mill was built by an early Scandinavian settler who used it for power to make implements. After the coming of the railroads, he went out of business, but the mill stood for many years and was a famous landmark.
1863 was a black year for Lawrence when William Clarke Quantrill descended on the town, killed 150 men, and razed nearly every building. Quantrill's picture also hangs on the wall.
Anyone who desires may see the room with the assistance of a well informed guide, Miss Maud Smelser. To see the room, you have only to ask for Miss Smelser in the periodical room on the first floor of Watsor library.
Approves Bill Limiting Presidential Term
Washington. (UP) — The senate judiciary committee today approved 9 to 1 a house-passed resolution to limit presidents of the United States to two terms in office.
The resolution proposes an amendment to the constitution. It would have to be ratified by 36 states.
Both the house and senate versions would limit President Truman to one further term beginning in 1940. Since he is now in office for nearly four years of Mr. Roosevelt's last term.

London Coal Reserves Grow
Washington. (UP)—The state department has released the text of the first hour-long program of a series of daily Russian-language broadcasts from the United States government, which began today. The main features were a summary of world news; a discussion of the relationship between the federal government and the 48 states; folk music, including "Turkey in the Straw," and a talk on recent scientific developments.
Washington. (UP)—A fresh labor-management controversy appeared to be brewing today over full employment, an almost certain 1948 presidential campaign issue.
Labor-Management Argue Over Full Employment
London, (UP)—Army truck convoys reminiscent of wartime rolled along icy roads today, carrying coal from the mines to strengthen the growing reserve stocks in the country's power plants. Prospects for another week of sub-freezing temperatures caused officials to avoid predictions as to when severe electricity restrictions could be eased.
The labor department raised the issue by setting forth a general formula for full employment through 1950. But it ducked recommendations on specific public policies to achieve the goal by tossing that question to Congress.

Peacekeepers Army Roster Lists Too Many Officers, Few Men
Washington. (UP)—Figures show there are 6,489 colonels in the U.S. army of 1,070,000 enlisted men. That is a ratio of one colonel to every 165 men. The wartime ratio was one colonel to every 755 men.
The army is struggling with the problem of getting enough enlisted men to meet its requirements without the draft. It has a "shortage of second lieutenants for duty overseas."
