'I'm Going Back And Fight Until Hell Freezes Over'—
Bilbo Won't Sell Whites Short
Popularville, Miss. (UP) — Sen. Theodore Bilbo, (D.-Miss.) denied his seat in congress, made a home-coming statement that "If I've got to surrender my views on white supremacy and sell my race down the river, then I don't want to be senator."
"The Republicans want to throw me out now," Senator Bilbo said. "But when they read my book that's coming out this month, they'll want to hang me."
The Mississippi senator referred to his book, "Take Your Choice—Separation or Mongrelization."
Senator Bilbo is scheduled to undergo a cancer operation in New Orleans this week.
"If I live and the Lord lets me,"
he said, "I'm going back and fight until hell freezes over. I'm going to whip them, too."
He praised senators who defended him in his two-day effort to reach his seat in the 80th congress. He accused him of "insults" in terms of "playing for the Nero, yoh".
"He ain't got no sense, he's just a nut. He goes around playing a fiddle with a hill-billy band just like Ross Collins did."
As for Sen. Glen H. Taylor, (D-Idaho) who led the revolt against seating him, Senator Bilbo said:
Mr. Collins was Senator Bilbo's opponent in the senatorial race.
Southern Democratic rally in his behalf.
"They did a good job in helping me out in my fight," he said. "As fine a team as I ever saw."
Asked if he thought he would lose his patronage by being absent from the Senate, he said:
"The Democrats ain't got no patronage. I led the fight against the anti-lynch law, the anti-poll tax and the F.E.P.C."
Senator Bilbo praised Senators John Overton and Allen Ellender of Louisiana, who sparked the
Writers Debate Reds, One World
"We were organized for a real fight when I had to leave Washington," he continued.
He had a good word for the Republicans before he finished, however.
"Can Russia Be Part of 'One World?'" will be debated by two veteran journalists and authorities on the Soviet Union at 8 p.m. Thursday in Hoch auditorium as the second presentation of the Community Lecture series.
"The Republicans were pretty decent," he said, "about letting me continue to draw my salary."
H. R. Knickerbocker, roving correspondent for the International News service, will debate the negative side and Walter Duranty, author of several books on Russia, the alternative. Both men have lived in New York and New Jersey. Mr. Knickerbocker two years as an INS correspondent. Mr. Duranty was a Pulitzer prize winner in 1932 and Mr. Knickerbocker in 1939.
Mr. Knickerbocker spoke at the University in February, 1940, on "The Question of War and Us" and made predictions which many believed incredible but practically all of which proved to be correct. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said. Mr. Knickerbocker covered the war in the southwest Pacific, Europe, and North Africa.
Duranty, a correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance in Europe, Russia, and Japan from 1939 to 1941. is author of "USSR", "The Kremlin and the People."
Senior Pictures Taken For Jayhawker
Pictures of seniors graduating in February will be taken Jan. 14 and 15. Those students who contacted the Jayhawker office will be notified of the picture schedule.
Back copies of Jayhawk magazines should be picked up as soon as possible, because limited staff and storage space reduces the length of time any back copies can be left in the office, Carmean added.
Miss Nadine Miller, who received her bachelor of arts degree in journalism from K.U. in 1929, will become director of press and public relations for the C. E. Hooper corporation, a radio audience measurement concern, in New York next month.

Checks Total $18,961 To Set New Record

K.U. Has Three-Day Fuel Supply On Hand
The University fuel supply has run dangerously low.
During a barrel of fuel on every seven minutes during the vacation cold weather, the central heating plant used 10,000 gallons per day and now has only a three-day supply for emergency cold weather use, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
"This means that sub-zero temperatures in the immediate future would force a general closing of classes," Mr. Bayles stated.
During Christmas vacation, the University had to use most of its reserve fuel oil. All buildings were kept warm in order to prevent plumbing from freezing all over the campus. Need of natural gas to heat private homes caused a University change-over to its reserve supply of fuel oil, and only yesterday afternoon could it go back to natural gas consumption.

Kansas—Clear to partly cloudy today, tonight, and Wednesday. Slightly colder central and west today and central and east tonight.
lineup which is powerful on both offense and defense. Tonight he will put Ray Evans, veteran guard, at the quarterback post and start rookie Jack Eskridge at the vacant guard post.
The Tigers will have a jinx to fight. The Jayhawkers have won the last 17 games between the two teams at Lawrence.
The Jayhawkers enter the conference picture with a record of eight victories and four losses, standing fourth in the Big Six standings of total games played; but two of the Kansas defeats have been at the hands of the defending national champion. Oklahoma A. & M.
Missouri has a slightly more impressive percentage, but the Tigers have been spotty and have been called a "hot-and-cold" team so far. The Tigers now stand at the top of the league standings, tied with the Wildcats of Kansas State with one win and no losses each.
Another of the Tiger victories was over the Illinois "Whiz Kids" at Kansas City earlier this year.
The Tigers have not fared too well in tournament play this year. Missouri finished seventh in the eight-team All-Big Six tournament at Kansas City, and sixth at the All-College tournament at Oklahoma City.
In these two tourneys, the Tigers met only two conference teams, defeating Iowa State and losing to Oklahoma.
The game will be broadcast by WREN beginning at 7:25 p.m.
With tonight's encounter, the Jayhawkers will embark on their 19th Big Six season, and will be after their 13th championship. Dr. Allen's squads have finished all alone in the top spot nine times, and have shared the title three times.
