Japs Abolish War in New Constitution
Tokyo. (UP)—The Japanese government announced through Gen. Peter MacArthur today that it had lifted a new constitution abolishing the nation's right to make war and reducing Emperor Hirohito to a figurehead.
airement.
"For most of its provisions," MacArthur said, "is that which abolished war as a sovereign right of the nation forever and renounces threats use of force as a means of settling disputes with any other nation. It forbids future authorization of any army, navy, air force, or other war potential, or assumption of the rights of belligerency by the state."
Washington (UP)—A single atomic bomb as destructive as one million 10-ton blockbusters is now possible according to Dr. Edward U. Condon, director of the national bureau of standards.
This would be a thousand times more powerful than the bombs used against Japan and those to be used in the forthcoming navy tests.
U.S. Asks Showdown On Russian Policy
Washington. (UP)—The United States today sought a showdown with Soviet Russia over her policies in Manchuria and Iran—two of the world's major trouble spots.
Secretary of State James F. Pyres dispailed two messages to Moscow last night, in which he asked, in effect, why Soviet forces were not withdrawn from Iran last Saturday, and why Russia is trying to make a deal with China for division of Manchuria's industries between China and Russia.
Byrnes' former attitude toward Russia may be the prelude to a more active role by the United States at the forthcoming United Nations Security Council meeting in New York.
New York. (UP)—Van Johnson, heart-throb of the bobby soxers, is a two-to-one favorite over Frank Sinatra.
When Johnson and Sinatra appeared at LaGuardia field together yesterday there were 75 bobby soxes present.
Fifty mobbed Johnson and the rest stormed Sinatra.
Manila. (UP)—Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of obsolete or unserviceable American military equipment will be dumped into the China sea in the next few months or cut up and sold for scrap metal.
Buenos Aires. (UP)—Col Juan D. Peron, Nationalist-Laborite presidential candidate, held a lead of nearly 60,000 popular votes over his Democratic opponent, Dr. Jose P. Tamborini, today. Peron's potential college election vote had increased to 232 while Tamborini's dropped to 38.
Truman to Churches: 'Support Legislation'
Columbus, Ohio. (UP)—President Truman today asked church support for his lagging legislative program, emphasizing that persons "greedy for gold" threaten the future of the nation and the world.
He called for a "genuine renewal of religious faith" as the only solution to problems of the atomic age.
Mr. Truman spoke to a special meeting of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, an organization of most of the Protestant denominations in this country.
Saturday Last Day for Makeup Aptitude Tests
The last chance to take makeup aptitude exams will be 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium, A. H. Turney, director of the Guidance bureau, said today.
The exam scheduled for 9 a.m. is the psychological exam, and the 2 p.m. exam is the aptitude test. Students who did not take the tests in February, or have entered since then, must take the exams, Dr. Turney explained.
Glimmer of Hope In Phone Strike
Washington, (UP)—A glimmer of hope that a nationwide telephone strike might be averted appeared today as a top official of the American Telephone & Telegraph co. came here to join conference conferences.
When the marathon conferences recessed for lunch, a department spokesman said that AT&T VicePres. C. F. Craig would join the afternoon session. Craig is the company official in charge of industrial relations.
Informed sources said that his trip from New York to Washington could mean a new company offer to avert the walkout, now set for 6 a.m. tomorrow.
Meanwhile in Cleveland, a strike of 200,000 members of the Brotherhoods of Railroad Trainmen and Engineers, which would idle all main lines in the nation, has been set for Monday. BRT President A. F. Whitney announced today.
President A. L. Johnston of the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers said however, the two unions would "take under advisement" any action President Truman may take in application of the national railway la-
The CIO United Auto Workers in Detroit today accused the National Labor Relations board of aligning itself with General Motors corporation in the company's dispute with the UAW.
At the same time, Federal Mediator James F. Dewey, government conciliator in the union's 106-day strike against GM said he would leave for Washington immediately in response to a call from Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach for a "personal report."
In other labor developments, an estimated 842.000 U.S. workers were away from their jobs as a result of strikes and shutdowns resulting from strikes.
Members of the Jayhawk Veterans club are meeting today with the Douglas county commissioners to continue student protest against the recent resolution banning the sale of beer and dancing in the same place.

Nesmith, Replogle Pierce Added To Grid Staff
Athletic Director E. C. Quigley handed Head Coach George Sauer the largest football coaching staff in Kansas history today when he added three more assistants to the 1946 grid corps.
Two of the tutors, Dean Nesmith and Wayne "Bill" Replage, are hold-overs from the 1945 season, with Don Pierce, the fourth newcomer of the season. The appointments will mean double-duty for Nesmith and Pierce, who already are serving the Jayhawker athletic department as trainer and sports publicity director, respectively.
Replogle, who served as backfield coach under Henry Shenk last season and as freshman mentor under Gwinn Henry, was a three-sport star at College of Emporia, 1922-1926. Pierce, who joined the athletic department last October, was an All-Bix six pivot at KU. in 1940, and served a two-year pro career with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cardinals.
Sauer named Nesmith tackle coach, Replogle end coach, and Pierce center coach. Nesmith, who has been KU, trainer for eight seasons, was a regular tackle for the Jayhawkers in 1933, 1934, and 1935, later playing professionally with the New York Yankees.
Bob Ingalls, former Michigan All-American center, was named Jayhawker line coach Monday. Vic Bradford, an All-Southeastern conference quarterback at Alabama, was secured to fill the backfield coaching berth last week. All six coaches will be present at tonight's Chamber of Commerce welcoming banquet at the Eldridge hotel.

Time, Place, Officials For N.C.A.A. Playoff To Be Set Tomorrow
The time, place, and officials of the K.U.-Oklahoma A. and M. basketball playoff for the Western NCAA tournament will be determined tomorrow afternoon—in the lobby of the Union Station in Kansas City.
That was an unusual place for such a momentous meeting, Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen agreed today, but that was where he and Coach Henry Iba, of the Aggies, will meet the District 5 committee.
Allen was meeting with his championship team members this afternoon to determine their preferences for the Oklahoma battle.
Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Hutchinson, Topeka, and Ottawa are the cities being mentioned as prospective sites for the game.
Topeka is the latest town to bid for the playoff, which will determine the team to represent District 5 in the Western division of the N.C.A.A. tournament in Kansas City late this month.
Topeka's high school gymnasium seats 5,000. Both E.C. Quigley, athletic director, and Coach Iba are considering the proposal.
Wichita's Forum seats only 3,900,
while Kansas City's Municipal auditorium, unavailable for the playoff because of previously scheduled events, seats more than 12,500. Oklahoma City's auditorium seats 5-200.
Dr. N. P. Sherwood, bacteriology professor, is leaving tonight for Chicago, to attend a meeting of the Pathology society being held there March 7-8.

'Insincere, Sororified, Snobbish,' But 'Here to Stay'—K.U. Women
They are sort of cute, they add a certain something to the campus and, of course, life wouldn't be worth living without them.
you read the news Sam Elliot, Fraser hall's white-
Elizabeth Meguiar, dean of women,
smiling un-dean of womenishly:
"Those horrible jeans and shirt-tails
out," she exclaimed, but she
continued, "They do assume responsi-
bilities willingly and effectively when
they realize the need."
But—what do you think of KU woman?
R. H. "Doc" Wheeler, professor of psychology, thrusting his noble beak into the air, and staring at the reporter: "They are perfectly lovely," he declared—and then came the truth.
"They are hypersensitive, too aggressive, too demanding, and too easy." He looked thoughtfully at his "Wheeleresque" tie and continued, "Men would have more respect for them if the women would slap them down once in awhile.
"Women are not always sincere they have ulterior motives for their aggressiveness. There is too much demand for pleasure and attainment, excitement, ego-inflation, competition for prestige, and there is too much sex in their pre-marital relations."
mustached custodian and "housemother" of Spooner-Thayer dormitory, grinning sheepishly "They're not so bad. I think they are even getting better.
Alberta "Lennie" Moe, College junior; "They smoke too much, and drink too much." Lennie said, draping her lanky form over a chair and waving her cigarette with a nonchalant flourish. "KU women are too clothes conscious and the upper - classmen are too snobbish."
J. D. Kabler, Phi Delta Theta, stating with the drive of Senator Claghorn: "In trying to get ahead they are too 'sororified.'"
Nancy Tomilinson, Kaupa Alpha Theta: "They come to school to get a husband," Nancy said glancing fondly at her Beta pin. "Or to have a good time, and if they can't have that they come to get an education."
Benjamin Foster, N. R. O. T. C.: "I think," Ben said dancing to a little closer to the girl and murmuring happily, "they're here to stay."
Then there was the fellow leaning morosely against a counter.
"Women," he growled bitterly and ordered another beer. Then he caught sight of the passing "chickery chick"
"Women," he grinned
K.U. Bookstore By September Is Council Goal
A bookstore by September was the goal set by the All-Student Council in its meeting last night.
A north-wing addition to the Union and allocation of space behind the W.E.C. book exchange for a University bookstore were approved. Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, who explained the plans, is in Topeka today to confer with Charles Marshall, state architect, on expansion plans.
The proposed wing will extend 65 feet north from the present fountain and provide an extra 6,500 feet for a recreation room that can be utilized to serve hot lunches and for dancing at night. This would make more space available for the proposed book store than the 1,800 to 2,000 square feet originally planned. Dean Werner commented. Book store plans have first priority.
Beginning Monday and for the rest of the semester, the space back of the present book exchange will be used as a recreation-dancing room. Wendell Nickell, bookstore chairman, explained that it will not be possible to get a store into operation before September. Petitions signed by nearly 500 persons were submitted, asking that the bookstore take precedent over any other project.
Dean Werner showed the blueprint of the proposed north wing to the council, explaining that this extension probably could be completed by Sept. 1.
Clarence Musgrave, manager of the Missouri university student bookstore, told Council members Saturday that the space behind the book exchange and the offices across the hall would be adequate if storage space could be found elsewhere. He added that this might be done with an inventory capital of $1,500.
He pointed out that University students paw the lowest Union building fee in the country, $1, and that an increase of $4 would mean securing both the bookstore and recreation room.
"It will mean a terrific amount of work, and will take a lot of push," commented Dean Werner, "but it can be done."
A faculty advisory committee, consisting of John Nelson, English department; Leslie Waters, economics department; and Ethan Allen, political science department, has been chosen to work with the bookstore committee.
Fight new members sworn into the All-Student Council last night were George Darsie, Richard R. Nelson, George Worrall, Homer Evans, Carolyn Nigg, Marguerita Kerschen, Shirley Wellborn, and Joan Anderson.
Eight New Members Sworn In A.S.C.
Guy Ashcraft was elected vicepresident and Robert Luke was selected as chief justice of the student court. The resignation of Delores Custer was accepted.
Fireside Forum Will Meet To Hear Speaker and Elect
The Fireside Forum will hold election of officers 7 p.m. Sunday at the Congregational parish house, according to Marjorie Bentley, secretary.
