Wallace Resigns --By Request
Washington. (UP) — President Truman fired Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace yesterday and forebade all officials of the executive department to make any public statement opposing his foreign policy.
It was the first discussion between the two men since last week when Wallace assailed administration foreign policy in New York City with an address which Mr. Truman previously had stated he had approved.
Mr. Truman announced at a news conference that he had requested Wallace's resignation. It reached his desk half an hour later.
The resignation evidently was demanded by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes in a teletype trans-Atlantic exchange with Mr. Truman.
The president was compelled within 48 hours to repudiate Wallace's ease-up-on-Russia proposals. "The people of the United States may disagree freely and publicly on any question, including foreign policy, but the government of the United States must stand as a unit in its relations with the rest of the world," Mr. Truman said.

Communists Side With Wallace
Washington. (UP) — American Communists and their sympathizers began a national campaign today to whop it up for Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace's go-enasyon-Russian policy.
The ballyhoo program may prove to be embarrassing for several members of congress and for former Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, all of whom are likely to get caught in the crossfire of controversy.
Wallace is silenced for the time being. But that on a basis which establishes no more than a truce in his war against the foreign policy of President Truman and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
If does not seem likely the cabinet truce will last more than a few weeks.
Wallace took much comfort earlier in his dispute with Mr. Truman from the fact that his foreign policy speech delivered last week in New York before a left wing audience was challenged by Communists and left wingers as well as by many Democratic and Republican spokesmen.
But the Communists switched their party line. Their newspaper, The Daily Worker, denounced Wallace last week for advocating American imperialism.
But the party line now is pretty nearly all out for Wallace. The Daily Worker regards him as a great statesman and publicly apologized for getting off on the wrong foot with adverse criticism of his New York speech.
Jokes gets into the act because he is executive chairman and well-paid employee of the Independent Citizens Committee for the Arts, Sciences, and Professions. The Communists claim they set this organization up to front for the party.
Commissioners Lift Beer-Dance Ban
From now on, you can drink beer and dance in the same Douglas county dance halls.
The county commissioners revoked a previous ordinance Wednesday banning both beer or dancing in the same place at the same time. The original ordinance, passed Feb. 20, was fought by several student organizations.
Lou Griffith, chairman, said a six-month trial had convinced board members that the ordinance did not reduce drinking in the county. Local dance hall managers said the only effect had been to drive drinkers from beer to bootlegged liquor.
Just how many of us are here? Your count is as good as anybody else's.
From the spring record enrollment of 5,230, applications to the registrar's office soared and neared, hit, or passed the 9,000 mark. But nobody knows how many are here now.
E. R. Elbel, veteran's bureau director, reported that possibly 4,500 EXITs plan to attend K.U.,1,000 more than expected. During orientation week, 832 men who had not previously signed up presented certificates of eligibility to the veterans' office.
Whatever the final figure, K.U. women won't be lonesome. Stag lines already are forming to the right.
Four Doctors Added To Hospital Staff
Four new doctors now are on the staff of Watkins hospital.
Three of the additions—Dr. James Shields, Dr. H. Wallace Lane, and Dr. Gaylord Manahan—are graduates of the University School of Medicine. The fourth, Dr. Robert Allen, a former star basketball player at K.U., received his bachelor of arts degree here and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania medical school.
The new doctors, plus Dr. Beatrice Lins and Dr. Canuteson, who remain from the 1945-46 staff, raise the total to six.
Plans already have been made to set up emergency wards at Sunflower in case of a severe epidemic. Otherwise, all health services for students living at Sunflower will be handled at Watkins hospital.
Two of the newly-hired doctors are sons of K.U. faculty members. Dr. Lane is a son of Dr. H. H. Lane, zoology professor, and Dr. Allen is a son of Dr. F. C. Allen, basketball coach.

Col. John Alfrey has reported to the University as commanding officer of the R,O,T.C. unit and professor of military science and tactics.
Colonel Alfrey, who held the rank of captain when World War II began, did balloon barrage duty in the early days of the war. He then became commander of a newly organized anti-aircraft battalion, taking it through training and overseas to New Hebrides and New Britain.
He then was head of the supply division of the 14th AA Command, overall anti-aircraft headquarters in the Pacific theater. Subsequently he served with the Sixth army headquarters in the Philippines and Japan.
