11 Dead Nazis May Be Buried In Secret Graves
Nucernberg Prison. (UP)—Ten surviving leaders of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich died on the gallows in the chill, dark hours after midnight today, but Hermann Goering, the eleventh Nazi condemned to pay with his life for crimes against the world, cheated the noose by taking poison.
Shortly before dawn, at 10.40 p.m. C.S.T. Tuesday two covered trucks left a rear prison gate. It was possible that they were transporting the dead Nazis to secret burial places, but no official announcement was made.
Less than two hours before Goering was scheduled to lead the band of surviving Nazi leaders to the gallows, erected in the prison gymnasium, a guard heard the prisoner make "a strange noise."
The cell was opened instantly and Goering was found dead. a crushed vial of potassium cyanide between his teeth.
The ten surviving prisoners were shackled to guards.
Goering's eleventh hour suicide brought a drastic tightening of security precautions in the final hour before the condemned men were led, one by one, to the three black scaffolds.
Outside a cold drizzie of rain was falling: The bomb-shattered city of Nuernberg, once the show place of Nazidom and the scene of Hitler-ian pomp and ceremony, lay silent and dead except for the bustle of activity around the grim-walled prison.
From the moment Joachim Von Ribbentrop mounted the gallows and the executioner, Sgt. John C. Woods, San Antonio, Tex., adjusted the noose around his neck, until Arthur Seyss-Inquart, the tenth, was pronounced dead only one hour and 41 minutes elapsed.
The trap was sprung for Ribbentrop at 1:16 a.m. (6:16 p.m. Tuesday).
Seyss'-Inquart was pronounced dead at 2:57 a.m. (7:57 p.m. Tuesday).
A moment later Goering's body was brought into the execution chamber where some 50 official witnesses, including eight men representing the press of the world, had witnessed the executions. They viewed it and the execution ceremony was complete.
Dr. Hoegner, the Bavarian mini-
ter president, said in a low voice,
"justice has been done."
Influenza Shots Given 465 Students
An additional 225 persons were given influenza vaccine Tuesday at Watkins hospital, bringing the total number of vaccinations to 465 for the first two days.
Dr. Ralph Canutes, head of the University Health service, expressed the belief today that some persons are putting off taking the vaccine because of reports of unpleasant reaction.
Vaccinations are being offered to faculty members, employees, students, and their families.
Dr. Canuteson stressed that "the reaction is only mildly unpleasant and of short duration. It is nothing compared to a case of influenza."
Compound Vaccinations will be given at Watkins hospital from 1 to 5 p.m. daily through Friday.
Ushers Needed
All ushers who ushered at the K.U.-Wichita U. games are asked to report to Sgt. Arthur Millard between noon and 1 p.m. tomorrow at 203 Military Science building.
Others interested in ushering at the Homecoming game Saturday are also requested to see Sergeant Millard at this time.
Telephone Greeting, Class Shortening To Boost Celebration
"Beat Nebraska" will be on the lips of loyal Jayhawkers as the 1946 Homecoming gets into high gear Friday. Alberta Cornwell. Homecoming publicity chairman said today.
Unorganized as well as organized houses are to answer the telephone from today on with the greeting, "Hello, Beat Nebraska!" Miss Cornwell said.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott has authorized dismissal of 9 a.m. classes 10 minutes early Friday for a pep rally in Fowler grove. The K.U. band and cheerleaders will be there to send off the first Homecoming rally.
Personal calendars listing the program of events for Homecoming weekend will be off the press tonight and will be available for distribution tomorrow.
The Howdy Hop will be replaced by a Street Dance in front of the Union at 11 a.m. with music by Jimmy Hollyfield. Coffee and doughnuts will be served in the Union lounge during the dance and not in the ballroom as previously announced.
Library Will Close For Saturday's Game
Watson library will close at 12:30 p.m. Saturday so student assistants may attend the K.U.- Nebraska game, C. M. Baker, director, announced today.
Reserve books may be taken from the library at 11:30 Saturday morning and are due at 2:15 p.m. Sunday.
State Rule Stops Check Cashing At Book Store
"This check cashing business is a sad problem," Carroll McCue, chairman of the finance committee, said at the meeting of the All-Student council Tuesday night.
The student book store will not be able to cash checks, he announced. L. E. Woolley, manager of the student book store, had said he would be willing to set up a check-cashing service for a 10-cent fee, but was stymied by a state ruling.
The ruling, which comes from the office of the state attorney general, saves book store funds are state funds.
It prohibits the cashing of checks with state funds unless a guarantee of $1,000 is deposited. Under this ruling, no check over $10 could be cashed and the total checks cashed would be limited to $1,000 a day (the amount deposited).
The finance committee will continue to investigate the possibility of establishing a commercial bank branch on the campus, McCue said.

'Qwl' Buses To Sunflower
Two "owl" buses will be supplied by the Santa Fe Trailways for residents of Sunflower who come to the Homecoming celebrations.
The buses will leave for the campus for Sunflower at 1:30 Saturday morning after the homecoming dance and at 12:30 Sunday morning.
Polls Are Problem To ASC Committee
Polling places are a problem.
"Why hasn't the election committee met?" asked Clifford Reynolds, P.S.G.L. representative. at the All-Student council meeting Tuesday night.
John Irwin, Pacacamac representative and chairman of the elections committee, replied that he had met with the members of the committee individually.
"Why haven't polling places been chosen and announced?" Reynolds continued. "Pachacamac can rush the Greek pledges to any polling place selected, but the independents must have time to publish the information all over the campus."
Polling places are almost impossible to find in an overcrowded University. Irwin countered.
"Past voting sites," he said, "are now being used as classrooms, store rooms, and study halls. What are left don't give us room to 'set up proper polls."
The polling lists of the freshmen eligible to vote will be ready soon, Irwin said.
Search for suitable places will continue, he added.
Actors To Present Free Show Thursday
The Piper Players, a group of actors and actresses whose aim is to "bring Broadway to the Middlewest," will present a free variety show at 4 p.m. Thursday in Fraser theater.
Miss Beverly Presley, 46, will play the lead in "The Patys," a three-act comedy to be presented at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the Community building. Miss Presley played the part of Lily Sabina in the speech department's production of Thornton Wilder's "Skin Of Our Teeth" last year.
The variety program will include "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top" and "I Can't Say 'No' " from the stage show, "Oklahoma", a pantomime on the local theater on Saturday night, and a piano solo by Miss Presley from "Bach to Boogie Wooje."

First Aid Station Established At Veterans' Village
Emergency medical care will be administered to KU. students living at Sunflower Village and dormitories at the Sunflower Ordnance works, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University Health Service, said today.
A first aid station has been established in the administration building, dormitory 10, for emergencies arising while the student is at Sunflower and it is inconvenient to go to the health service at the University. Dr. Canuteson said.
A graduate nurse will be on call from 3 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily to care for any emergency which may arise and to advise in the case of a more serious illness, he said.
Dr. Canuteson explained that while the intention of the health service is not to provide nursing or medical care for families of students, it is within the province of the nurse at the first aid station to act in a consulting capacity.
Tryouts for skirts to be presented in the "hullabalo" convocation in Hoch auditorium Saturday morning will be open to student spectators, the Homecoming committee announced today.
"It is the intention of the health service that no student or member of his family shall suffer for want of medical care," he added.
Tonight's tryouts, at fifteen minute intervals, will be run off by: Chi Omega, Battenfeld, Delta Gamma, Sigma Nu, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Delta Pi. Templin and Gamma Phi Beta.
"The needs of students living there will be given consideration, and the service will be adjusted to meet these needs within the limits of responsibility of the health service," Dr. Canuteson said.
The health service provides the average requirements for students, the director said, and the veterans administration will care for many major illness and surgical emergencies when proper channels are followed.
'Hullabaloo' Tryouts Open To Spectators
Eighteen organized houses will tryout from 7 to 10 tonight and tomorrow night in the Little Theatre in Green hall.
Monday's Daily Kansan front-paged a short article about Wilda Hosler, Corbin hall, swallowing some wood alcohol by mistake, and said:
Tomorrow night, at the same interval, the order will be: Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Watkins, Miller, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Chi Omega, and Pi Beta Phi.
It Was City Hospital,
Not Watkins Authorities
"Watkins hospital authorities advised her to call a doctor."
Miss Hosler has informed the Daily Kansan that her original report on this event was in error, and that Lawrence Memorial hospital authorities, not those of Watkins hospital, advised her to telephone a physician.
