Russia To Quit Iran Or Suffer UNO Action, Byrnes Intimates
Washington. (UP) - The Soviet Union, accused of undermining international confidence by her Iranian policy, today faced the choice of withdrawing her troops from Iran immediately or standing again in the "dock" of the United Nations Security council.
This time the United States may be the accuser of the Soviet Union.
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes made public last night his formal protest to the Soviet government for its failure to pull the Red army out of Iran by last Saturday. The U.S. note was delivered Wednesday. Russia has not yet replied.
Washington. (UP) — Senate supporters of the administration's emergency housing bill today pledged a fight to restore six million dollars in production subsidies cut from the measure by a stubborn house yesterday when it passed a diluted version of the Patman housing bill.
Southampton. (UP)-Sabotage was blamed for a mysterious three-hour fire aboard the 85,000-ton liner Queen Elizabeth today, and Scotland Yard agents were called in to help smash what was believed to be an arson ring operating in Britain's major ports.
Washington. (UP)—President Truman today set up an emergency board to investigate the threatened railroad strike.
Truman Appoints Rail Emergency Board
The president's action under the Railway Mediation Act will postpone for 30 to 60 days the strike of railroad locomotive engineers and trainmen scheduled for Monday.
At the same time, the President said flatly at a news conference that he will not intervene in the 108-day-old General Motors strike.
In Cleveland, President Alvanley Johnston of the Brotherhood of Lo-comotive Engineers said today that the personnel of President Truman's emergency board "sounds agreeable" and that a decision on postponement of the strike would be made soon, possibly today.
Washington. (UP)—Rep. John E. Rankin, ranking Democrat on the House Unamerican Activities committee, said today the Russian atomic spy ring is being assisted "by American communists, many of whom are on the federal payroll."
Pauley In Quandary Over Withdrawal
Washington. (UP) — Edwin W. Pauley would today he had considered both withdrawing from and going back with his fight for confirmation as undersecretary of the navy and "right now I'm in there sluggling."
Pauley flatly denied the Ickes charge that he used political-financial pressure in an attempt to keep the federal government from contesting state ownership of Tideland oil resources.
Many members of the senate committee expected Pauley to ask Mr. Truman to withdraw the nomination after the Californian has answered to his own satisfaction all the charges that have been made against him.
"right" demanded that the senate consider his nomination to be undersecretary of navy on a record of honest public service.
Veterans To Protest 'Beer Law,' Thursday
Joan Crawford Ray Milland Win 'Oscars'
The delegation of the Jayhawker Veteran's club, which was to have met with Douglas county commissioners at the county courthouse Wednesday to discuss the beer - dancing issue, postponed the meeting until 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Hollywood (UP) - Joan Cawford, who's been making movies ever since they were silent flickers, finally her "Oscar" today, but in mind of sweeping down the aisle amid cheerers of her fellow stars she had to accept it at home from a sick-bed.
That's where she was last night while 2,100 tuxedo and fur-clad stars flocked to Grauman's Chinese theater to hear Miss Crawford and Ray Milland proclaimed the best actress and actor in Hollywood for 1945.
1945.
Wearing a fluffy blue nightgown and a coffee colored negligee, Miss Crawford huddled close to her radio as Milland murmured his thanks. When she heard Charles Boyer name her the winner for her comeback role in "Mildred Pierce" she leaped to her feet.
to tease
"oh, how wonderful!" she cried.
"I'm overcome."
So was Milland, who collected a saw and wild statuette for his role of a drunken writer who saw animals crawling on the walls in "The Lost Weekend." He just grabbed his "Oscar" and scurried off the stage.
"I'm surprised they just handed it to him," quipped master-of-ceremonies Bob Hope. "I thought they'd hide it in the chandelier!"
The glittering audience sent up a tremendous cheer for James Dunn, who won an "Oscar" as the best supporting actor of the year in another comeback part, that of the drunken father in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."
Best supporting actress was freckle-faced Anne Revere for her mother role in "National Velvet."
"The Lost Weekend," a sordid movie about the evils of swept in most of the other leading off with one for "The Best Picture" of the year. It won two for Billy Wilder—one for the best directing job and another, with Charles Brackett, for the best written screenplay.
"And about time, too," Hope declared. "Tve encede so many of these things in Grauman's Chinese my eyes are slanting. But I really didn't expect one. If I'd known I would've brought along my writers. I haven't got any gags for this."
Hope slowed down long enough to let Jean Hersholt, president of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences give him a tiny "Oscar" all his own.
got any gigs
Pioneer movie maker D. W. Griffith started off the major awards by presenting gold cinematography "Oscars" to "The Picture of Dorian Gray" in the black and white class, and "Leave Her To Heaven," for technicolor.
Then George Murphy, president of the Screen Actor's Guild, presented Frank Sinatra, a special "Oscar" for his film short "The House I Live In."
Peggy Ann Garner won a miniature statuette as the most promising juvenile star.
I Live in it. **in** get your wife to help you carry it home, kid," grinned Hope.
Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, Dinah Shore, and Kathryn Grayson plugged the songs nominated for the original songwriting award, with "It Might As Well Be Spring," by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein emerging as the winner.

A special train is being made for a special train, to leave here around 4:30 p.m. on the day of the game, and to return around 11:30 p.m.
Condr. R. J. Baum, of the navy unit, has announced that naval trainees will be granted special liberty to attend the game.
Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said he expected the first 2,000 of the tickets by Wednesday. He said tickets for which orders already have been placed "must be picked up by Friday, or we'll have to place them on open sale."

ASC To Consider Faculty Survey
A faculty survey committee to make a biennial survey of student opinion of faculty and curriculum, will be voted on by the council at the next meeting. The same type of survey was conducted last year. If the amendment passes, the committee will be listed in the constitution as a standing committee.
To Start Classes At 8 A.M., Limit Enrollment Next Fall
Eight a.m. classes and restrictive enrollment will start at K.U. next fall. These emergency measures were the University's answer today to an unprecedented flow of applications for admission next fall. The enrollment, which Laurence Woodruff, registrar, only a month ago estimated would rise to "perhaps 6,000" in September, actually had prospects of leaping

Austin Harmon, Lawrence sophomore, took the $10 second place prize, and J. W. Riehl, Jr., Santa Rosa, Calif., V-12 junior, copped the $5 third prize.

Honorable mentions, for which the award is a free subscription to the Daily Kansan, mailed anywhere in the United States, went to Dora Ann Brown, Kansas City junior; Charles H. Dunn, freshman college, Oak Park Ill.; Joseph Kott, junior engineer, Argo Ill.; Joanne List, fine arts junior, Kansas City; D. B. Miller, junior engineer, Joliet, Ill.; and Milton Ozar, Kansas City freshman medical student.
Two men for every woman That's no pipe dream around here these days. Figures prove it.
male days. Figures prove it.
Approximately 3,240 men are enrolled on the Jayhawkster stomping grounds as compared with 1,928 women. However, competition for the few (and they are few) available males will be rugged.
It may sound nice, but "with the sweet comes the bitter" in the form of wives who bring their "ball and chain" to protect their interests. Athletic heroes won't be so numerous as before. Many of them are married, and who would want to break up a happy home? Those who wish to prevent one of these wives from contradicting them (when they insist on screaming "there's my
hero") might try whispering. Leading radio announcers say it won't hurt to try.
Here is a tip, gals. If you want a fair chance, be an engineer. There are 530 men and 2 women enrolled in the School of Engineering. At this ratio one can hardly lose. More than one thing has been perfected in a laboratory, it has been said.
In more normal times, the ratio has been as high as three to one, so even the most unlucky ones may have a chance. At any rate, school is a wonderful place and with 5.168 students struggled for supremacy there is bound to be excitement. Here's to it, and may the best man excuse it, please, (woman) win.
far higher than that.
"Why, we'd have 12.00 or 15,000 students here next fall if we could accommodate them all," Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, commented today.

Mere housing and feeding of all the students who want to come to K.U. are only a "portion of the problem." Chancellor Deane W. Malott told the Daily Kansan today.

for new staff members.
Some prospective faculty members say they'll come to Lawrence "if you can find a house for us" while others still are residing at Sunflower Village, the chancellor pointed out.
"We also have the very real tasks of providing library facilities, and doing something about faculty housing," he explained. "It would be foolish for us to take in more students than we could handle in the library, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to find housing for new staff members."
The two procedural changes were passed in a University Senate meeting yesterday. Both require formal approval of the board of regents, to which Chancellor Malott was presenting the plans in Topeka today.
senting the plains in 1932.
The 8 a.m. classes, once a part of K.U. life, will permit "one-eighth more use of our crowded classrooms," the chancellor told the Senate. "We will have classes at noon, and we'll have to have some until 5:50 p.m."
5:50 p.m.
Perhaps 100 new staff members will be required to teach next fall's huge enrollment, Chancellor Malott explained. The new teachers will need office space, and most of the office space for these new teachers "will have to be taken from classrooms," he added.
The restrictive enrollment will not affect any student now enrolled in the University. It applies only to new students, and it is worked out on a priority plan favoring Kansas veterans and other graduates of Kansas high schools. No student now taking classes here will be denied re-entrance next fall, the chancellor declared.
