This is the first published picture of the new Danforth chapel, which decorates the K.U. campus at the corner of 14th and Oread streets. The chapel was designed in memory of Harriet E. Tanner by her son, and built through the funds supplied by William H. Danforth, John T. Stewart, and many others—alumni,
students, faculty, and friends of the University. The chapel is "dedicated to the worship of God, with the prayer that here in communion with the highest those who enter may acquire the spiritual power to aspire nobly, adventure daringly, serve humbly." (Daily Kansan photo by Ralph Andrea.)
Russian-Iran Problem Deadlocks UNO
New York. (UP) -A special three-nation Security Council subcommittee failed today to break the American-Russian deadlock over Iran, and the United States will press again for an immediate hearing of the Iran case.
Byrnes supported his insistence that Iran be given a hearing with official reports from Tehran that there is no Soviet-Iranian agreement as claimed by the Russians as their reason for wanting to avoid discussion of Iran now.
Secretary of State James F. Reynolds, Soviet Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko, and French Ambassador Henri Bonnet conferred for 90 minutes this morning in a futile attempt to find a formula that would keep the Russians from carrying out their threat to take a temporary walk from the UNO council, if the Iranian case were heard.
Gromyko demanded that the council defer its consideration of Iran until April 10, under the threat not to attend any meetings on that subject until then.
Soviet Russia's threat to boycott any discussion of the Iranian case before April 10 and to write her own rules threatened to paralyze the council.

Mahattan. (Special)—More emphasis on intramural sports and a general broadening of the athletic program is planned for Kansas State college by Hobbs Adams, head football coach who will become director of athletics and the department of physical education July 1.
physical education. Adams, who was released by the navy after more than four years of coaching navy teams and directing physical training, will replace Mike Ahearn, who has headed the athletic program at K-State since 1920 and has amassed a total of 42 years service to Kansas State in the athletic and horticulture departments.
Whatever the navy did do for Adams, it didn't let him lose touch with football. For three years he coached the Jacksonville naval air training station team while serving as assistant athletic director, and then became athletic director of the Memphis technical training center where air crewmen were kept in condition just before going overseas.
While at Jacksonville, he became acquainted with George Sauer, K.U. football coach, who was working under the direction of "Potsy" Clark, athletic director at Pensacola.

Ahearn will continue working for K-State for three more years, when he will be retired at the age of 70. He will now compile records of the half-century and will continue as athletic department during the past golf coach. Last summer, Ahearn
Aiding Adams in his planned drive for more student participation in sports is a $750,000 appropriation for a fieldhouse which will provide ample space for all the men students at K-State and allow the present gymnasium to be used solely by women students.
"In fact," he adds, things are picking up for Kansas State! I've got an appointment with a fine 135-pound halfback now."
Adams expressed admiration for Sauer, who he says is a fine coach, but he also states that just because they're old navy men isn't going to affect K-State-K.U. rivalry.
won three championship golf tournaments at Manhattan including the state Knights of Columbus tournament.
Pre-war plans for the fieldhouse are being revised to take into account the increased cost of building materials. Adams estimates that the pre-war plans would now cost a million dollars to execute.
For the first time in K-State history, a football team will fly to one of its regularly scheduled games. Adams states. The Wildcats will leave Friday, Nov. 8, play at the University of San Francisco the following day, and return in time for
Danforth Donors Will Attend Dedication Here
Danforth chapel will be formally dedicated at an all-student convocation at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in Hoch auditorium.
The A Cappella choir will sing "Credo" by Gretchaninoff, with Iomog Billings songs a soprano solo.
Following a greeting by Gov. Andrew F. Schoepel, Kenneth I. Brown, president of Denison university, Granville, Ohio, will speak on "The Ensign Said, 'Take Good Care of Life.'"
Among the guests at the dedication will be William H. Danforth, of St. Louis, who made the initial gift for the chapel and for whom it was named; members of the C. H. Feindexter family, who presented the painting "Christ at Gethsemane"; and A. B. Weaver, donor of the organ.
Events of the day begin with an informal service in the chapel to which principal donors and other guests have been invited. A luncheon sponsored by the Student Religious council will be held in the English room of the Union, and a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Danforth will be held in the Kansas room from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
The chapel will be open during most periods of the day for inspection and worship.
A booklet to be distributed at the dedication includes a statement written by Jeanne Ackley, Danforth fellow at the University, on the purpose of the worship center.
"Loss of interest in the resolution by the student body was the cause," he said.
