Forrestal Appoints 58 Civilian Advisors
Washington. (UP)—Navy Secretary James Forrestal today announced the names of 58 persons, including three women, on the navy's civilian advisory committee which will hold its first meeting on the carrier Tarawa in New York harbor on Friday and Saturday.
One of the first problems the committee will discuss is the question of officer-enlisted men relationships in the navy. Members of the committee include Dr. Arthur H. Compton, president, Washington university, St. Louis, and Father E. J. Flanagan, Boy's Town, Neb.
Washington. (UP) — Germany scuttled more than half her submarine fleet after VE Day, the Navy revealed today.
In all, 994 German and 116 Italian submarines were sunk from all causes during the war. The Italians scuttled 17 after their surrender.
Tyler, Tex. (UP)—You can't make goo-goo eyes or cough at a_girl in Tyler. It isn't legal.
Assistant City Attorney Warren MacDonald says a 1918 anti-flirting ordinance still is legal and must be enforced.
(By United Press)
two memorable events occurred
a year ago today.
The United Nations assembled in San Francisco to draft its charter, and American and Russian troops joined hands at Torgau on the Elbe river, splitting Germany in two and symbolizing the approaching end of the war in Europe.
Paris, (UP)—The Big Four foreign ministers assembled today for peace treaties with signs that Russia may be preparing to yield on the Trieste issue and that Britain is opposed to any common Anglo-American front against the Soviet.
'Army Unrest Due To Communism'
Frankfurt. (UP)—Gen. Joseph T McNarry said today that "certain individuals" with communist tendencies were trying to cause unrest in American army circles.
He blamed the decline in morale and discipline on too fast a pace in redevelopment, forcing rapid shifts of skilled officers and non-commissioned officers from one unit to another.
Washington. (UP)—Gen. Carl Spaatz, Army Air forces commanding general, has announced that air force officer strength will be cut from about 92,000 on duty now to an estimated 50,000 in the postwar AAF.
Spatz said the reductions would begin immediately.
(Bu United Press)
New labor troubles in the rubber and railroad industries today kept 629,000 American workers idle. A railroad spokesman said last night that while the unions might accept a 16 cent wage increase, recommended by a fact-finding board, they opposed the few rules changes allowed by the board.
Miss Conger to Play
Dr. Albert C. Spaulding will address the Geology club at 7:30 tonight on the topic of "Early Man in America," in 426, Lindley.
Spaulding To Address Club
Miss Allie Merle Conger, of the Fine Arts faculty, will give a piano recital at 3:30 tomorrow, in Frank Strong auditorium. The recital will be sponsored by the Lawrence Music club.
France Demands UN Investigation Of Franco Spain
New York. (UP)—France today demanded a UN investigation into Spain's activities and called for arraignment of Franco before the Council.
Reaction to the French investigation proposal came quickly. America and Great Britain are publicly on record as desiring the fullest examination of all the facts pertaining to Franco Spain.
A few hours before the council was scheduled to resume debate on Spain, there was no general agreement on a detailed plan for a Spanish investigation. A majority of the council agree in principle with an Australian proposal which would bar the Franco regime from telling its side of the story.
The suggestion for an investigation of Spain is a compromise of the original Polish proposal that the council call for a diplomatic quarantine of Spain by all United Nations. Two days of debate on Poland's resolution last week revealed only Poland, Russia, France and Mexico supporting it.
Composition of the investigating committee seems certain to cause a scramble. Poland seems assured of a place by the fact she filed the complaint against Franco Spain. Australia likewise would be a member for having initiated the investigation resolution.
600 Attended A.A.U.W. Fun Fest
About 600 persons attended the fourth annual Fun Fest, sponsored by the Lawrence branch of the American Association of University Women, Wednesday night at the Community building.

'No Academic Degree Has Ever Brought Success'
By DEANE W. MALOTT (Chancellor of the University)
As the academic year ends, many graduating students are looking forward to the next phase of their life's activities—a job. It has long been recognized that a collegiate or professional degree is a useful, and sometimes essential, prerequisite to success in finding a position in one's chosen field.
ONE. Select carefully, perhaps by a process of elimination, not only the kind of job you would like, but the size and location of the community in
But no academic degree has ever brought success in life; there is no assurance for your future in being a graduate of the University of Kansas. It will require all your skill, energy, imagination, and stick-to-it-iveness to be the success of which you dream.
If you will bear in mind the few following simple rules, you may avoid errors that would otherwise retard you in fulfilling your ambition:
which you wish to live. These decisions are best not left to chance.
TWO. In discussing a job with a prospective employer, leave the question of salary to the boss. In the first month or so you aren't worth much to anyone, until you:
to increase the responsibility delegated to you.
(a) Gain the confidence of the boss
(b) Learn the routines of your job and its relation to other parts of the enterprise.
THREE. You will have lots of bright ideas; but remember, most of them have been thought of before. Find out, before you become an "eager beaver" for reform.
SEVEN. It is better to leave your diploma in the attic than wear it upon your sleeve. Your less fortunate associate, who left high school to go to work in your outfit, can teach you much if you are willing to learn.
FIVE. Understand what you are to do on the job; it is no disgrace to ask questions.
FOUR. Be careful of your personal appearance; each time one of your associates looks at you, you are having your picture taken.
There is a destiny in store for you. The world is always seeking those who are willing to work, who can think about what they are doing, who are curious, and who are not to concerned about which person gets the credit. Good luck to you.
EIGHT. At the cost of overtime work, if necessary, learn all you can about the job of your immediate superior, and help him whenever possible. You never can tell when his job may be open to the best equipped candidate.
SIX. Once sure of the task that is yours, do it. An early reputation for taking responsibility will lead those above you
This is the first in a series of Daily Kansan articles on job opportunities for K.U. graduates. Other articles in the series will appear soon.
17 Students III After Attending 'Zilch' Dinner
Seventeen journalism students were ill today after attending the annual Zilch dinner at the Eldridge hotel Crystal Room last night.
More than 90 students, faculty, and guests, attended the dinner, which had a menu consisting of chicken a la king, corn, potatoes, and pumpkin pie.
"I bought fresh chickens for the dinner at 11 am, yesterday." Mike Getto, hotel manager, said this morning. "I just can't understand why anyone should get sick. My dishwasher has been with us three to four years and is very capable."
Students who complained of illness today were Willie Harmon, Cloe Norris, Reverdy Mullins, Charles Roos, Marcella Stewart, Nancy Jack, Mariam Thompson, Marion Jones, food and dessert specialist, good tricaria Manley, William Sims, Patricia Penney, Vera Strobel, Mary Morrill, and LeMoyne Frederick.
About half the students received treatment at Watkins hospital this morning.
A skit by faculty members and the crowning of Lee Cole as "Old King Cole—Peachy Pedagogy" were other highlights of the evening.
The return of Elmer Zilch, patron saint of journalism, who has been in Alaska during the past year, was welcomed at the dinner.
The Fee Wee Kansan, anonymously edited baby edition of the Daily Kansan, made its annual appearance.
The purposes of the William Allen White Foundation were outlined by Chancellor Deane W. Malett in a speech at a dinner for the foundation Wednesday night in New York.
Malott Explains Foundation Aims
The chancellor pointed out that the foundation planned to provide "realistic teaching material for the University and for all other colleges and universities offering work in the area of communication" and to bring to the University "leaders of thought in various fields exemplified by the life of William Allen White for lectures."
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was guest of honor at the dinner attended by representatives of press, radio, motion pictures, and education. Other speakers included Sen. Arthur Capper and Frank E. Tropp, manager of the Gannett newspapers.
Mr. Tripp called on the press, radio, and film industries to unite behind a slogan of "freedom of expression." He said that the phrase "freedom of the press" was misleading and outmoded.
"Make it what you will, freedom to know or freedom of expression," the Elmira, N.Y., publisher said, "but make it all inclusive and understandable."
The press has been the "lionstone goat" in the battle for freedom of expression, Mr. Tripp said, because the founders of our country could not foresee the scientific developments in communication. "As a newspaperman, I will defend the freedom of the screen and of the air as zealously as the freedom of the press," he said.
