Memorial Report Included Inside
Inside the Daily Kansan today is a four-page "Student Memorial Committee Report," sponsored by the K.U. War Memorial association, and prepared by student members of the memorial publicity committee. Catherine Piller edited the supplement, which is published to promote the current $10,000 campaign for funds on the campus.
Gromyko Ends UN Boycott
New York. (UP)—Soviet Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko today announced the end of his 13-day boycott of the United Nations Security council a few hours after Poland charged that the "existence and activities" of Franco Spain were a threat to world peace.
He hinted he would not press at once his demand that the council drop the Iranian case from its agenda in view of the new Soviet-Iranian agreement.
Gromyko's simple "I shall go" to this afternoon's council meeting was in sharp contrast to his dramatic walkout from the council chamber March 27.
Council President Dr. Quo Tai-Chi and Secretary General Trygve Lie purposely omitted the Russian demand from today's provisional agenda after consultation with other members of the council.
Earlier Polish Ambassador Oscar Lange officially notified Lie that he would ask in the next few days that Poland's charges against Franco Spain be placed on the council's agenda.
The United States and Great Britain are expected to oppose the Polish move against Spain, although Secretary of State James F. Byrnes told a press conference late yesterday that the U.S. position would depend upon the nature of the complaint lodged by Poland.
Press reports from Warsaw have indicated that Poland will ask all the United Nations to sever diplomatic relations with Franco's regime—a step France urged the big powers to initiate earlier this year.
Britain and the United States turned down the plan then and joined with France in a joint statement calling on the Spanish people to rid themselves peacefully of Franco. The Soviet Union has favored drastic council action against the Spanish regime.
