Paris, (UP)—Paris reporters overran the Rue Gallande from end to end last night in a vain hunt for non-existent septuplets.

Russia Admits A-Bomb Spying
London. (UP)—Radio Moscow acknowledged today that the Soviet union has obtained supposedly confidential information on Canadian defenses but denounced Canada's current spy hunt as an "upfriendly act."
Moscow said the information obtained dealt with atomic energy, radio location and "similar matters."
The information, Russia said, came from Canadian citizens.
Russia and Britain traded angry counter charges over the Soviet spying and informed diplomatic observers warned that relations between the two countries were approaching the crisis stage.

Four Score and Five for Stevens, K.U.'s Champion Botanist-Baker
The strains of "Happy birthday to you" greeted W. C. Stevens, former head of the botany department, when he opened his eyes to his 85th year this morning.
to his 84th year this month.
Delighted by the song from his family and remarking about the spring-like weather, Mr. Stevens immediately began looking forward to spring field trips.
For more than 60 years, the Mr. Stevens was connected with the University, first as a student, then rising rapidly from a botany assistant to head of the department. He served in this capacity from 1899 until retiring in 1937 at the age of 76.
Still lively and spry, Mr. Stevens was at work on his book "Flowers of Kansas" by 9 a.m. As he firmly believes in the maxim, "you're only as old as you feel" the 85 years "young" Mr. Stevens still makes frequent field trips accompanied by an assistant.
Botany is not Mr. Stevens' only interest. He also enjoys reading the
newspapers, listening to the radio, and discussing current events.
And years ago, he became an expert breadmaker, when experimenting with yeast enzymes to better understand their baking function. Mrs. Stevens protested that she was a good breadmaker, and that there was no reason for her husband to clutter up the kitchen. But science won out in the end.
The University's octogenarian is looking forward to birthday parties in his honor today, one in the botany department this afternoon and a family gathering at his home this evening. Surrounded by family, friends, and a dish of his favorite ice cream, he thinks being 85 is wonderful.
