No Consideration Of Franco Regime, In UNO, US Rules
Paris (UP)—The United States has rejected a French proposal to place the status of the Franco regime in Spain before the United Nations Security council, a foreign office spokesman disclosed today.
It was understood that both the American and British notes feel that it would be difficult to prove that Franco's regime constitutes a menace to United Nations security, and that security council action would be used by Franco as propaganda to bolster his regime.
France was expected to submit the Spanish issue to the UNO on her own, possibly with Russian support.
Washington. (UP)—The senate battle over Edwin W. Pauley moved toward a climax today as Pauley charged his chief accuser, Harold L. Ickes, with giving "reckless and inaccurate" testmony under oath.

Civil War Flares Again In China
by the Russian government. The Communists seized the barracks and power plant in the eastern suburbs, and the imperial Manchu Mausoleum in the northern outskirts, the Central News agency reported.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist forces were entrenched in the central part of the city, and four additional divisions were being rushed to reinforce them. The speed and unexpectedness of the Soviet withdrawal left the nationalist forces hard pressed to solidify control of the area.
central News agency reported huesy Russian troop movements in Harbin and Changchun, the two large Manchurian cities lying northeast of Mukden. The last Soviet soldier left Mukden Saturday.
sojourn Some of the Soviet troops moved southward from Mukden to Port Arthur and Darien, others northward to Chungchun.
to Chungchen. Central government and Chinese Communists spokesmen alike denied that military fighting was in progress in Mukden, but the situation was tense as the groups jockeyed for control. Nationalist sources claimed there were 40 thousand Communists west of the city who might try to storm it, 70 thousand to the east and another 100 thousand to the south that
Communist quarters denied that the Communist armies planned a major offensive. It appeared likely that there might be heavier fighting later.
Sims to Handle 'Spotlight on Sports'
Bill "Tex" Sims, College junior, became sports editor of the University Daily Kansan today—the first male sports editor since a dearth of suitable men forced skirts into the sports desk last September.

It's a Women's Campus Now, But Can The Gals Hold Their Own?
Running the Jayhawker are two women—Hanna Hedrick, editor, and Sally Fitzpatrick, business manager.
It's a woman's campus right now. But, the current question is—how long will it last?
When the men left KU, a few years ago, most of the key positions were in their hands. If a woman were chairman of the refreshment committee of the Bacteriology club, she was practically a BWOC in pre-war days—things were that bad.
Pounding the gavel at All-Student Council meetings is the new president, Eugenia Hepworth. She has her hands full with the problems of the campus, from promoting the bookstore to planning convocations. Replacing Mary Jo Cox Youngblood, who exchanged her authority for marriage last semester, Eugenia, too, found time to get an engagement ring. Incidentally she is president of Mortar Board, women's honorary organization.
war days—things we had. Then war came, and men vanished enmass from the Hill. At last responsibility was tossed to the Army. Now women head almost all student organizations, and love it. In fact, they are not the least bit anxious to relinquish their power to the men.
Although they gladly accepted the help of men on their staff, they have had the upper hand in putting out three issues this year.
three issues unite us.
At almost no Varsity sports event,
Alberta Erwin may be spotted
in front' leading a yell. She is the female head cheerleader. Alberta also directs Union Activities, as president. Midweeks, parties, various clubs, and competitive tournaments are planned in her office.
Although Rosalie Erwin's job as YWCA president could never be filled by a man, it does help make her an important person on the campus. She is Mortar Board's newest member.
member. Mary Morrill is a campus "super woman." She has had a finger in everything from editing the Jayhawker, to serving as a campaign manager in campus politics, as Quill club president, as a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and as editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansas. In fact, the offices that she alone has held might have been filled by several men.
So the question is whether the women will continue to rule, or whether the veterans will be able to gain their former postions as campus leaders!
Union Rec Room, 'Mansion' Help Dance Situation
The local dance situation was more "in the groove" today.
The Mansion has a 30 by 20 foot dance floor, and will accommodate 300 persons for dining. Students will dance to nickelodian music throughout the week, with a cover charge on Saturday nights to pay for an orchestra, M. A. Snavely, proprietor, said today.
The Union recreation room, opening this afternoon, will provide an on-campus dance spot for students, while the Merry Mansion, a new establishment at 11th and Haskell street, opening Friday, will further alleviate the situation brought about by the county commissioners "yout can drink beer or dance, but not both" law.
