'Some' Atomic Control Given U.S. Military
Washington. (UP)—The Senate atomic energy committee today tentatively approved a plan to vest broad atomic control powers in a military board.
The proposal, sponsored by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, would make the board all-powerful in national defense phases of the atomic program.
The committee voted six to one for the Vandenberg proposal. Chairman Brien McMahon was the only member opposing it.
Washington. (UP)—The nation's motorists waited today to find out how much more new automobiles are going to cost.
OPA paved the way for a price hike yesterday when it authorized Ford, Hudson and Chrysler to sell their new automobiles on an adjustable pricing basis.
Under the program cars may be sold at present ceiling prices with the provision that the customer can be billed later for any increase granted by OPA.

He offered a five-point program to all nations, including the United States, for overcoming the "spirit of impatience" which is the natural outgrowth of war fatigue:
Examine with sympathy and patience the views of others; ascertain the true facts; avoid the assumption of adamant positions; refrain from exaggerating and over-emphasizing one's own claims; and refrain from making an appeal to prejudice.

Now About Those 8 O'Clock Classes...
Yes—No—Don't Give a Hoot (Check One)
By EDWARD W. SWAIN
(Daily Kansan Staff Writer) Thirty minutes earlier in the morning will be a sad story next semester.
It will be, according to the plan passed by the University Senate, to obtain more use of class room space.
To find out the average reaction on the campus a number of students were interviewed as to their opinion. All interviews were conducted at 8 a.m. in an attempt at fairness. No professors were interviewed.
ing building was accosted and asked,
"Have you read the proposed plan for earlier classes next semester in the Daily Kansas?"
A student entering the engineering building was accosted and asked:
"The Daily what?"
"The Daily Kansan." "Oh."
Similar questions were put to a number of students about the campus to get an adequate sampling.
"Let me put it this way. How will the eight o'clock classes as proposed by the University Senate for next semester affect you?"
pus to get an education major, interviewed while at breakfast in the cafeteria, had this to say:

"Pardon me, I thought it was my pancake."

The usual four holidays at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Memorial day are included in next year's K.U. calendar, approved by the University Senate last week.
There will be a four-day "vacation between semesters next year, but after this time and the holidays, classes will be continuous. Registration for the fall semester starts Sept. 20.
The calendar does not provide any "movable holiday," for which students asked after a wildcat walkout following the Homecoming football victory over K-State in November. A student-faculty committee pointed by Chancellor Deane W Malot suggested such a variable "day off" at that time, but the Senate vetoed the idea.
"Oh, it's too horrible for words.
I'm always late for class anywayand besidesitseemstome. . ."
Preteaching on his clarinet, a Fine Arts student, when asked for his opinion of the proposed plan, had this to say:
The complete calendar is as follows:

"Ugh."
Several coeds questioned as they were leaving one of the larger sorority houses replied in unison:

Completing the questioning, one last student, a College senior, was asked for his opinion of the schedule as explained by Chancellor Malott. He queried:
"Chancellor who?"

It's an Ill Wind Wasting 27,000 Gallons of Water
K. U. will lose 27,000 gallons of water today.
High winds, shrieking over the campus power station's spray pond, pick the water up at a temperature of 70 degrees and generously drench anyone daring to walk up the south side of the hill or going to the library.
The water is used to cool the exhaust from the steam turbines and is then sprayed high in the air to bring its temperature down. A normal day's loss according to W.C. Sanderson, maintenance engineer, is 7,000 gallons, but when the wind velocity goes up so does the loss of water.
Caution to motorlsts parked in the spray; a chemical placed in the water to prevent the formation of scale in the cooling lines, forms a murky film when its comes in contact with glass.
"Only one thing will take it off"
Mr. Sanderson declared, "and that's Brightenal soap. It won't harm the finish of your car, but unless you have the right soap you'll probably be needing a periscope to see where you're going."
Debaters Win Six Events at Winfield
Winning six events out of six entered, University of Kansas debaters won the St. John's forensic tournament at St. John's college, Winfield, Friday and Saturday.
Friday, the debaters defeated Southwestern university by a 2-1 decision in the finals, after having won from Tulsa university in the semi-finals.

Roberts topic in impromptu speaking was the unanimous choice of the judges for first place.

'A-Bomb Won't Stop Us'---Reds
London. (UP) — Soviet Russia warned the United States and Britain today that the atom bomb would not sway it from making its frontiers secure and charged Ernest Bevin, British foreign secretary, with "incing suspicion against the Soviet Union, fanning alarm concerning alleged Soviet aggressions and organizing hostile blocs."
The warning was contained in a bristling article in the government newspaper, Izvestia, written by Eugene Tarle, noted Soviet historian.
Directed primarily against Winston Churchill's Fulton, M., speech, the article bracketed Bevin with Churchill for the first time. It declared that the British foreign secretary "dances the same dance" as the former prime minister.
former prime minister Russia, Ivzestina said, will not be swayed from "the legitimate and necessary aim" of securing its frontiers despite any new weapons which have appeared or may appear.
An Anglo-American show of strength against Russia, as proposed by Churchill, Izvestia said, would lead the United States and Britain down a "fatal road."
Izvestia condemned as "dangerously incorrect" the theory that Russians respect only force.
"Nothing could ever irritate the Russian people more than an attempt to intimidate it," the article continued.
The article declared that Russia did not believe Britain desired war and added that 'c contemporary England is not Churchill's England and not the England of those inexpert diplomats who think strong fist-pounding on the table can help diplomatic conflicts." ___

Venereal Disease Blamed for New Beer Resolution
Vets Ask Repeal But Fail to Move Commissioners
By MARIAN MINOR
(Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
A committee representing the Jayhawk Veterans organization failed to move the Douglas county commissioners from their stand on the "beer resolution" in a commission meeting Monday.
A letter was presented by Michael Kuklenki. Veterans president, asking that the former resolution be rescinded immediately.
M. N. Penny, spokesman for the commissioners, explained that he had nothing against dancing, but it is a combination of beer and dancing, that "apparently resulted in five times as many cases of venereal disease originating out of the city since the beginning of the year."
An exchange scholar who studied at KU. in 1938-39 was listed on captured German records as a member of the Nazi party, the United Press reported today from Washington.
"It is essentially a health problem," he said, "and the resolution should continue for a year. If then, the statistics show no appreciable improvement, the resolution can be removed as not being the solution to the problem."
Mr. Penny replied that this had been tried, but had not been successful.
William Gibbs, veterans committee member, suggested that it would be more practical to attack the problem directly rather than indirectly by banning dancing.
"We realize," he said, "that we are penalizing some places that shouldn't be, but we have found no method that would be discriminatory and not affect some of the cleaner places."
places
Ivy Borgen, Dine-a-mite owner,
was present and said that his business
had not fallen off any since the resolution had been passed except
that he had been forced to cheer on Sunday nights.
Nazi Student Studied At K.U. in 1938
"You are turning my place into a beer hall," Mr. Borgen complained to the commissioner. "I've sold more beer, but I'm interested in the principle of the thing—these students have built my business."
The student was Ulrich Poblenz, who matriculated Sept. 21, 1938, in the Graduate school. He gave his home address as Hamburg, Germany, when he entered here.
His Lawrence address was listed as 1025 West Hills Parkway,
as 1920 west west
The records disclosed total Nazi strength in the United States reached an apparent peak of 866 in late 1940. The Nazis still were receiving information from their members in the U.S. as late as a year after Pearl Harbor, the report declared.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy and continued warm today. Showers and cooler tonight. Calder tomorrow.
