Officials Begin Crash Investigation
Stephenville, Newfoundland (UP)—Officials of the Newfoundland government and American overseas airlines began today the gruesome task of sifting wreckage of a transatlantic airline to determine if possible why it crashed into a hillside, killing 39 persons aboard.
It was the second disaster on the transatlantic run within 15 days and the worst accident in commercial aviation since the German dirigible Hindenburg exploded at Lakehurst, N.J. May 6, 1937, killing 36 persons.
The crash occurred early yesterday when the four-engined Douglas transport "Erie" plunged into the side of a 1900-foot hill 12 miles east of Harmon field. The plane, bound for Berlin, had taken off a few minutes earlier after a refueling stop at Harmon field.
Hull Condition Still Grave
Washington (UP)—The navy reported today that former Secretary of State Cordell Hull spent a more restful night than usual, but that his condition was still grave.
A 9 a.m. (EST) bulletin offered little encouragement as Hull fought a grim but apparently losing battle for his life at the Bethesda, Md., naval hospital.
Little Man On Campus
In a bulletin Thursday night, the navy said the 75-year-old elder statesman had taken another turn for the worse.
WREN Will Broadcast
WREN, Lawrence radio station, will broadcast the K.U.- Wichita game beginning at 1:45 p.m. tomorrow. Stations KFH at Wichita and KMBC in Kansas City also are expected to broadcast the game.

CAPT. RAY EVANS Kansas
Nightshirt Parade Highlights Pre-Game Rally At 7:30 Tonight
Flying squadrons of K.U. pep club will swoop down on recalcitrant freshmen tonight to open the year's first home game football pep rally which will climax the annual parade of night-shirt clad freshman men at 9 p.m. in South Park.
A well-postered jeep and car manned by KuKu's and Jay Janes cruised up and down the campus today with crimson and blue streamers flying in the breeze to build up student interest in the affair.
An estimated 2,000 pararends will assemble at 7:30 p.m. in front of the Memorial Union building. They will form a single column, four abreast and the march will kick-off at 7:50 for downtown Lawrence. Kuku's and K-club men will guide the marchers.
A large crowd of students is expected to be awaiting the pajamaded men as they turn into the park for the rally. Campus pep organization representatives will then take charge of the group around a bonfire for cheers and songs.
The K.U. band will head the parade, followed by the Jay Janes, with the freshmen paraders bringing up the rear. Moving down Indiana street, the parade will turn up 6th street at 8:05, proceeding to Massachusetts. At this point, the night-shirted students will taper off into single file, twisting into a snake dance all the way to South Park.
Coach George Sauer will head the list of speakers. Other members of the coaching staff are expected to respond to student demands for pep talks. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will furnish refreshments for paraders and the Varsity and Granada theaters will sponsors free movies for all paraders, with a
prize for the most "fantastically" dressed man.
The Varsity picture will begin at 9:20 and the Granada stage show and special feature films will begin at 11. The local talent revue will headline a program for football short subjects, comedies, and band and leg revues as an afterpiece when Jayhawker baton twirlers take the stage.
All freshman men are scheduled to take an active part in the parade, but all students are invited to the rally, Bill Wood, KuKu president, said today.
"Any right attire will do." Wood said. "so long as it's decent."
Previous years' fashions included pajamas, nightshirts, sheets, and diapers—with the participant using his originality along with his discretion.
WEATHER
Kansas — Partly cloudy today, tonight and Saturday. Continued warm. High temperatures today near 80.
Jayhawkers Set To Win Easily
Capt. Ray Evans will lead the Jayhawkers in their first home appearance of the season against the Wichita Wheatshockers in Memorial stadium at 2 p.m. tomorrow. A crowd of approximately 16,000 is expected to be in the stands for the Crimson and Blue opener.
Kansas will go into the game rated as 19-point favorite, the first time this season the Jayhawkers have been the experts' choice to win by a comfortable margin. The Crimson and Blue, only undefeated Big Six team, probably will maintain this record although the game may be tougher than tans expect.
For the third consecutive week the Jayhawkers will be on the short end of the weight scale, but they will be more evenly matched than in previous games. The Shocker line will outweigh the Kansans four pounds to the man, but the backfields will be about the same.
The Jayhawkers should be at full strength with the exception of Bill Hogan, out with a broken leg. The squad is dedicating this game to Hogan, the nation's fourth ranking player in total offense in the season's first two games.
His loss will hurt the Jayhawker of offense, but Coach George Sauer hopes that Lynne McNutt, who replaced Hogan in the Denver battle, and Hay Swans, who probably will see some action at quarterback, will make up the loss.
The Jayhawkers will make the first appearance in their new uniforms—red shirts contrasted with silver colored pants with red, white, and blue stripes. The new uniforms arrived this week after the Jayhawkers borrowed outits from Nebraska and Kansas State for their first two games.
Chet Laniewski and Ralph Wygle probably will see action for the first time this season in the Wichita encounter. Laniewski will operate from a halback post, and Wygle will drive from a tackle slot. Laniewski has been recovering from a knee operation, while wygle recently was discharged from the service.
The Shockers will field a hefty, hard running backfield headed by Linwood Sexton, ace Negro halfback and All-Missouri Valley choice last year. The Wichita line not to be taken lightly, will feature a power, tail pair of ends, Paul Walker and Tom Allen. Kansas coaches who have scouted the Black and Gold eleven rate these men high.
Sauer probably will start the same lineup he used in the Denver game, with McNutt in at quarterback replacing Hogan. Fans probably will be treated to a display of aerial fireworks with Ray Evans on the tossing end. Otto Schnellbacher, the nation's leading ground gainer on pass receptions, will furnish the target for a goodly portion of Evans' heaves.
