Broadcast May Give Argentina's Answer
Buenos Aires. (UP)—Foreign minister Juan Cooke scheduled a broadcast for tonight which may reveal whether Argentina intends to break diplomatic relations with the United States because of American accusations against the Argentine regime.
The government and Col. Juan D. Peron have remained silent despite great national excitement concerning U.S. state department charges that the Argentine regime cooperated with the axis. Many quarters believed that the next move was up to Argentina.
Paris, (UP)—Socialist and Communist members of a French assembly committee charged with drawing up a new French constitution, today rejected freedom of the press as being one of the fundamental rights of man.
Steel Price Dispute Ruptures Settlement
Washington. (UP)—A new wage price policy was in President Truman's hands today but efforts to end the steel strike were reported snagged by a dispute over the forth-coming steel price increase.
Administration officials submitted the revised wage-price policy to the President after he had rejected a proposal to revive strict ceilings for wages. The revised draft was said to call for more liberal price controls to encourage employers to grant wage increases.
Washington (UP)—A federal court jury found today that the 60-year-old expatriate poet, Ezra Pound is "of unsound mind" and incapable of standing trial on a charge of treason. The government charged that Pound made treasonable broadcasts over the Rome radio during the war.
Heirs Say F.D.R. Died a Soldier
Albany, N. Y. (UP)—Heirs of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt have appealed to the New York state tax commission to rule that the president died a soldier, it was learned here today.
The estate contends that the president's role as commander-in-chief of the armed forces entitles the heirs to a substantial state and federal income tax exemptions.
Washington. (UP)—State governors today were called upon to raise a national guard of 622,500 officers and men, more than twice as many as in the pre-war organization.
The proposed state quota for Kansas is 7,689. This quota will be divided into an air force of 312 and a ground force of 7,377.
Veterans are paid monthly subsistence allowances by the government while they receive on-the-job training under the program.
Washington. (UP)—The retraining and re-employment administration today announced it will begin investigating reported rackets in on-the-job training of veterans within 20 days.
The administration had received one report of a veteran drawing subsistence while learning how to wash automobiles in a filling station.
Washington. (UP)—President Truman today designated March as Red Cross month and urged the public to contribute as much as possible to the support of "this indispensible humanitarian cause."
The Red Cross drive for funds will aim toward a national goal of 100 million dollars:
Must Keep Draft, Patterson Says
Washington. (UP)—On the basis of present recruiting, the army probably will have to request continuation of selective service after its present expiration May 15, Secretary of War Robert Patterson declared today.
Patterson said this was necessary even though the army has obtained a record enlistment of 500,000 men in recent months. He pointed out that many of these enlistments came from men already in the service.
A final decision on extension of selective service will probably come within a month, Patterson said.
Meanwhile Mr. Patterson made it clear that a universal military training program would not provide any men for overseas occupation duty. Under a universal training program, the student would not be subject for military duty and could not be assigned to occupation duties.
New Students Almost 10-to-1 Males
Of the 1,916 new students now enrolled in classes, 1,731 are men and 185 are women.
These figures are based on the registration totals Tuesday night. No figures are available concerning the enrollment since that time.
April 1 Is Deadline For Summer Term Dorm Applications
Applications for residence in women's halk for the summer term should be in the office of the dean of women, 121 Frank Strong, by April 1, Marie Miller, assistant dean of women, said today.

Men students may apply for summer and fall residence in Battenfeld and Carruth halls any time, Dean Henry Werner said today. Scholarship requirements for these halls is a 1.5 average, or if a freshman, the upper 10 per cent of the nigh school graduating class.
Althaus Heads School Group Meeting Here Friday

Each discussion period will be preceded by a brief lecture.
'Prefab' Construction Begins Next Week
No one knows what they'll look like, or how big they'll be, or their exact location, but construction of 10 prefabricated houses will begin next week south of the Hill near the intramural fields.
The first dwelling should be completed by March, the K.U. housing bureau said today. The houses may be made into barracks for single men, or made to accommodate married students and their families.
A priority system will be set up to determine who shall live in the houses. Dimensions and architectural style have not yet been decided.
Western Civilization Meets in Lindley
New students in Western Civilization will meet in 426 Lindley hall at 8 tonight instead of in Green hall as originally announced. Louise Cochran, head proctor, said today.
This change had to be made because of the large enrollment, she explained.

Any Old Clothes?
If you have old clothing for foreign relief which was not collected in the clothing drive last week, leave it at Henley house, Mrs. Christine Alford, YWCA secretary, suggested today.
Too Many Men Around, So Cupid Throws Away His Bow
Dan Cupid looked around the campus this morning and tossed away his bow and arrow.
"I won't be needing 'em this Valentine's day," he chortled. "The men can take over!"
The gals agree with Cupid that the campus' husky new male contingent is enough to make this Valentine's day something extra special. They're thanking the spirit of St. Valentine $ ^{\textcircled{1}} $
to see a calendar to know that today is Feb. 14."
Today, all the bashful coed has to do it pick out a victim, find his telephone number in the student directory, call him, and murmur.
Time was (just a few years ago, around 1754), when the hopeful young woman spent the night before Valentine's day sucking a salted ham as a magic charm to help her get her man before the end of the year.
Be mindful, please,
The rest is up to St. Valentine!
"Be mine, please. huh?"
Lawrence greeting card dealers, who are getting rid of valentines "as fast as we can tear open the boxes," are afraid that the men are falling down on the job, since most of their unsold valentines are "to my wife," or "to the girl I love."
Fund Drive Starts on Campus Next Month
But the men have come through in the hearts and flowers department, ordering so many red roses that one florist said. "We don't have
A campaign to raise funds for the University war memorial driveway and carillon will be conducted on the campus next month, Kenneth Postlethwaite, Memorial association director, announced today.
A campaign in Lawrence to raise $80,000 will be conducted at the same time, Postlethwaite added. The campus quota will be announced when a student committee has been appointed.
The chamber of commerce board of directors unanimously endorsed the proposed memorial drive and carillon, and agreed to conduct a local drive to begin March 18, at a meeting yesterday.
After World War I, the chamber of commerce raised $125,000 for the University memorials, the Memorial Union and stadium. The architects, announced today by Justice Hugo T. Wedell, president of the Memorial association, are Homer F. Neville, who was graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1923, and Edward Buehler Delk, a University of Pennsylvania graduate. Neville recently designed the war housing projects at Wichita and is a member of the firm that designed the Kansas City, Mo., Municipal auditorium. Delk, who is the consulting architect for the Kansas City, Mo., park board, was the designer of the Country Club Plaza there.
The largest slump, in student employment ever to hit the University campus, has occurred this semester, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said today.
The employment situation is considerably different in Miss Marie Miller's office of Women's Employment Bureau. She stated that "jobs for women are the type that persons wishing employment will not accept them."
Now We Have The Men, But Not Enough Right Jobs
"Last year we had the jobs, but no men; this year there are men, men, but no jobs." he moaned. More than 400 students have passed through my office, up until this time, and all of the available jobs are filled by students of last semester."
Too many women want clerical positions and do not have the commercial background to be satisfactory, she said. This is especially true of veterans' wives, who would just "love" to work, but will not accept what she can offer them, she said.
Miss Miller can offer any type of work, from child care, sewing, cashiers, clerks, to stenographers, food service units, and also a piano accompanist. Men have been placed as waiters, garage mechanics, winemakers, cooks, tentendants, and library assistants. Wages vary from 40 to 50 cents per hour, and experience for the majority of these jobs is unnecessary.
The cry from both offices is the request that anyone who has found employment through either of these offices to notify them to this effect, they have no way of checking to find out if openings have been filled.
WEATHER
Kansas--Fair today, tonight and Friday. Warner today and tonight and in east half Friday. Low tonight upper 20's.
