Meet the New Kansan Cartoonist Ex-Sergeant, Former Yank Artist
Yank's loss, the Daily Kansan's gain.
That's the way we look upon the acquisition of Richard Bibler, former army sergeant, now a College sophomore, who today becomes the official and exclusive cartoonist for the K.J. new parer
and exclusive cartoons, for Bibler spent most of his more than three years in the army on Pacific islands, and it was during his time there that he came to the attention of Yank, famed GI weekly which was the outstanding service maga- cine of the war.
Beginning in December, 1943. Yank published Bibler's work regularly — some humorous cartoons, some illustrations for articles by field writers. He was a member of
Yank's "Marching and Spam club," whose origin is credited to Marian Hargrove, of "What, Now" fame.
Three of the newspaper's top executives judged the Daily Kansan cartoon contest, in which more than

Atom Spies in U.S. Congress Finds
Washington. (UP) — Chairman John S. Wood, D., Ga., said today that his House Un-American Activities committee has discovered a foreign spy ring working between New York and Oak Ridge, Tenn., one of the government's atomic bomb plants.
Wood refused to say what nation was involved, but a committee source said "there could be only one foreign national involved in this ring—Russia." Wood had said earlier that the spy ring was run by foreigners, but that "there might be some Americans involved."
Nuenberg. (UP) — Baron Franz Von Papen told the war crimes tribunal today that he made secret peace feelers in 1942 to George Earle, American Naval attache in Turkey, in violation of Adolf Hitler's orders.
Papen also claimed that he made a second peace attempt in 1942, seeking mediation efforts through the vatican.
Russian Troops Remain in Iran
Tehran. (UP)—An Iranian cabinet minister said today that the Russians have not evacuated any portion of Iran, despite an announcement that evacuation of three eastern districts would begin March 2.
"The Russians have not evacuated any place," the minister said.
He said Iranian troops were dispatched to occupy the districts the Russians said they were evacuating and were stopped by the Russians.
Dublin (UP)—John Cardinal Glenon's condition took a turn for the worse today and his secretary announced that the 82-year-old St. Louis prelate had developed "a slight congestion of the lungs."
The aged cardinal was elevated to the sacred college of cardinals last month.
Washington. (UP)—The White House said today that President Truman "very shortly" will appoint an emergency board in an attempt to avert the railroad strike called for Monday.
Madrid. (UP) — The American embassy today authorized distribution of 90,000 copies of the tri-power denunciation of Gen. Francisco Franco throughout Spain, and the Spanish government was reported considering publication of a retaliatory document.
10' Monday:
Appointments of the board would at least postpone the threatened strike of 300,000 railroad trainment and locomotive engineers for 30 to 60 days.
Anti-Franco Booklets To Flood Spain
Because the Spanish press published a distorted version of the Allied declaration, the embassy arranged publication of the full text in its weekly publicity bulletin.
Washington. (UP)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur was relieved today of any responsibility for the actions of Russian commanders in Manchuria or British commanders in Indonesia.
The state department corrected an earlier statement by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes that MacArthur, as supreme allied commander, had authority wherever there were Japanese troops.
Fratt. (UP)—Dave Leahy, director of the State Forestry, Fish and Game commission, said today that the Commission would propose that jack rabbits and cotton tails be named as game animals and placed under protection in Kansas.
Kansas-Aggie Playoff Kansas City, March 18

BULLETIN
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The "dream game" of Midwestern basketball, a meeting of the University of Kansas and the Oklahoma Aggies, will be played in Kansas City's municipal auditorium March 18, it was announced this afternoon.
Announcement of the selection of Kansas City as the site for the big game—to determine the Fifth District representative in the NCAA—was made at a meeting of Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, K.U. coach, Henry Iba, Aggie mentor, and George Edwards, chairman of the district selection committee.
It was also agreed that the champions of the Big Six conference and the Missouri Valley circuit would play annually for the right to enter the NCAA westerns from the district.
The coaches of the two power house teams arranged a three-game series next year, one game each to be played at Kansas City, Lawrence, and Stillwater.
In a communique from Stillwater, $ ^{4} $
In a communique from Stimu,
the Aggies were still sneering at
Kansas, whom they already have
defeated in "a one-sided fray."
"Kansas, although playing an extremely light schedule of unrated rivals," the report continued, "lost no other games. Now the N.C.A.A. orders a playoff. The Aggies have agreed in the hope that the game will establish a precedent for an annual playoff agreement."
Both teams were undefeated in conference play, while Iba's men whipped Kansas in a pre-season game at Oklahoma City. 46-28.
The Kansas loss to A. and M. came shortly after Otto Schnellbauer, big Jayhawk All-Ctar, had gotten into shape for the squad, and before Ray Evans, 1943 All-American, had returned to the fold.
The only instance for comparison between the two teams other than this one game of tournament play at Christmas were the two team's meetings with the Oklahoma Sooners. Kansas humbled the Sooners, 52-45 in their final game of the season, while Oklahoma A. and M. skidded by their ancient state rivals, 47-41, last night.
Independents Meet Tonight In Union
The first of a series of discussion conferences for Independent students will be held at 7:30 tonight in the Men's Lounge of the Union.
The topic will be the relation of the Independents organization to the IS.A. and the part the political division plays in the present set-up. Plans for merging the two organizations will be presented.
Shirley Wellborn will be moderator for the discussion and Lorraine Carpenter and Lois Thompson will present the cases of the IS.A. and Independents organization, respectively.
Rosemary Harding will explain the role of the political division and Jacks Nichols will present one plan for merging the two organizations. Marylee Masterson will be recording secretary for the conference series.
Student Council Approves Second Issue of Bitter Bird
Approval for a second issue of "Bitter Bird" to appear June 1 was given in a meeting of the All-Student Council this week. William Feeney, president pro-tem of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, had asked the publications committee to postpone action on future issues until reception of the first publication had been seen.
Students Give Recital
The School of Fine Arts presented a student recital today in Frank Strong auditorium. Those participating in the program were Marilyn Smart, Eugene Penner, Lois Wooden, Loraine Mal, and E. M. Brack.
Union Addition To Increase Fees
they're ready.
That's what Prof. Allen Crafton, director, said today of the student cast of "Hay Fever," scheduled for its first current showing at 8:15 tonight in Fraser theater.
An increase in student fees will be required to finance the proposed expansion of the Union building, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said today.
They've had their troubles, but they're ready to go.
He explained that the Union is supported entirely by the student body, and that its services cannot be expanded without an increase in revenue.
Earlier he had reminded students that they are paying the lowest Union fee in the country, $1 per semester. An increase of $4 would finance the proposed construction.
According to Kansas law, the architect's office must approve all construction of state buildings, and in the University's case, approval of the board of regents also is required.
Shortages of brick and steel, and difficulty in obtaining a contractor may delay the work, Dean Werner said, after consultation with the state architect yesterday. The state official would not commit himself on the possibility of finishing the job by Sept. 1, he added.
The proposed northward extension will make possible both a combination recreation-dance-fountain room and a student bookstore.
Dean Werner explained that while many contractors are not engaged to full capacity at the present time, many are making future contracts. It may be difficult to find one to do the job in the estimated time.
They've Had Troubles But, Hay Fever' Is On Stage Tonight
At one dress rehearsal there was a temporary lack of lights and another was delayed because of a lecture, but after watching the last practice performance, Professor Crafton judges them ready.
