Strike May Silence WDAF
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The central labor union today pledged city-wide AFL support to Kansas City Star contract carriers, and offered its services to obtain settlement of a strike which has halted publication of the city's one daily newspaper.
Leonard Williams, president of the central body, said all AFL members would be asked to observe picket lines set up by the striking carriers. Previously, AFL printers and press-phen had refused to pass the lines, although the stereotypers, also AFL, voted to report for work as usual.
Radio station WDAF, owned by the Star with its studios housed in its building, remained on the air today. Mr. Williams said that WDAF employees, members of the American Federated Radio Artists and AFL electrical workers union, were awaiting instructions from their international headquarters as to whether they should honor the carriers' picket lines.
Spokesmen for WDAF said they had no official knowledge of the situation.
Mr. Williams said that the central union would make every effort to work out a solution in the dispute and announced that a union committee would seek an early meeting with the Stir management.
Surprise Package

Professor Mattern's picture is entitled, "The Kaw in February," and Mr. Sudlow's picture, "Bridge".
They Didn't Get Up And Walk Away Or Did They?
The case of the missing panties, or,
who stole those unenmentables?—
that is the mystery of Jollife hall.
The culprit is still at large, the puzzled, and Jollife women are police and University authorities are frantic.
It all started Jan. 11. Twelve pairs of under garments were left hanging on the basement clothesline. At noon 30 a.m., someone entered and took them, all them.
Then on Jan. 17 it happened again at the same hour, only this time no less than 22 pairs were taken. The situation was becoming critical.
The next morning janitors at Hoech auditorium were astonished to find 22 pairs of the missing articles scattered around the room. That made it 22 found and 12 to go.
Lawrence police are of the opinion that it is the work of some prankster.
But where are the other 12 pairs?

U.S., Russia Can Live In Peace-Stalin
New York. (UP)—Premier Josef Stalin believes that "the danger of a new war is not real," Elliott Roosevelt said today in a copyrighted dispatch in Look magazine.
Mr. Roosevelt, in his account of an interview which took place Dec. 21 in Stalin's office in the Kremlin in Moscow, said that the Soviet premier appeared to be in good health, although thinner than when Mr. Roosevelt had last seen him three years previously.
Stalin's comments on war were made when Mr. Roosevelt asked:
"To what do you ascribe the lessening in friendly relations and understanding between our two countries since the death of Franklin Roosevelt?"
Stalin answered:
"I feel that if this question relates to relations and understanding between the American and Russian peoples, no deterioration has taken place, but on the contrary relations have improved.
"As to relations between the two governments, there have been misunderstandings. Certain deterioration has taken place and then great noise was raised that their relations would even deteriorate still further. But I see nothing frightful about this in the sense of a violation of peace or a military conflict.
"Not a single great power, even if its government were anxious to do so, could now raise a large army to fight another allied power, another great power, because now one cannot possibly fight without one's people—and the people are unwilling to fight. They are tired of war. And besides, there are no understandable objectives to justify a new war."
On the question of United Nations control of atomic energy, including inspection, the generalissimo said that "On the principle of equality, no exceptions should be made in the case of Russia. Russia should be given some rules of inspection and control as any other nations must."
Asked if it were possible for the democratic United States and communist Russia to live side-by-side in peace, Stalin replied that it was "not only possible; it is wise and entirely with in the bounds of realization."
Stalin told Mr. Roosevelt he believed there should be several Big Three meetings in the future and that they would be very useful.
