Pro Really Should Be A Semi-Pro He Learns Building the 'Easy' Way
All he needed was a foundation— a church foundation.
In Byers, there was a church foundation—the good beginning of an abandoned building. In 1945, while Wilbur's father, a Methodist minsister, was in that town the Methodists decided to build on the foundation.
That's what started Wilbur F. Pro, Engineering senior, down "architect lane."
"I have completed and mailed the plans for a Baptist church in
Wilbur was given the job of drawing up the plans, not because he had designed churches—for he hadn't—but because his father and others thought he could do it. Wilburn drew the plans, and the church is now under construction.
Ellinwood," said Wilbur today. "Now I am working on a house plan."
"Drawing building plans is more than a hobby with me," he explained. "Besides being fun, there is pay in it."
After receiving his degree in mechanical engineering this spring, he expects to get an engineering job, and continue with his building plans.
Wilbur is married, has been in the house construction business with his father, has worked at Boeing (Wichita), and previously attended the University during 1897-38. He is a member of the Tau Delta fraternities and is secretary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering.
With a smile he added "I want to return to K.U. sometime to get a degree in architecture."
'Leaks' Threaten U.S. Leadership In Atomic Field
Army Concerned Over Recent Loss Of Bomb Secrecy
The United Press was informed reliably that among the six were a member of the National Research Council staff and an official of the Labor Progressive party.
BULLETIN
Montreal. (UP)—The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have arrested six persons in Montreal in connection with the international "leaks" of secret and confidential information, it was learned today.
Washington. (UP)—Army experts today expressed grave concern at what they termed "multiple leaks" of closely guarded atomic bomb secrets.
Maj. J. Leslie R. Groves, chief of the bomb project, declared that the nation has lost more security on the bomb during the past four years than during the entire war time decision by the White House clined to specify source of the leaks.
Other army sources warned that hitherto top secret information is "constantly slipping out," and contended that the leaks endanger this nation's supremacy in the atomic field. They said no adequate local protection for the vital information was now available.
Columnist Drew Pearson said last night that atom bomb secrets did constitute the "confidential information" supplied Russia by a Canadian spy ring, adding that a Russian agent was permitted to sail from Seattle with a suitcase containing Mr. Broad said in his weekly radio broadcast the incident had brought a "show-down" to U.S.-Soviet relations and convinced many officials that "we cannot go on appeasing Russia.
These views were expressed while the Canadian government continued investigation of the disclosure of secret and confidential information to a foreign mission at Ottawa. It was denied at Ottawa that atomic information was involved in the Canadian leaks.
(In London, L. J. Solley, Labor member of Parliament, warned that the Canadian roundup of spies endangered scientific thought and constituted "anti-Soviet propaganda." Others speaking at a conference on science and welfare declared that a factor in the Canadian situation was failure to share scientific knowledge on a world-wide basis.
