University DAILY KANSAN STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Tuesday, January 8, 1946 43rd Year No. 62 Lawrence, Kansas Strike Break Seen As Kaiser Concedes Major Auto Pay Raise (By United Press) The first signs of a break appeared today in the labor-industrial deadlock which threatened to idle more than 1,800,000 workers within the next 10 days. An impetus was provided for settlement of Detroit's motor industry dispute. It was the agreement of the infant Kaiser-Fraser automobile company and the CIO United Automobile workers union on a contract providing for wages substantially higher than those now paid by any major car manufacturer. The agreement did not solve the issue of the UAW 30 per cent wage increase demand, but the company agreed to meet whatever increase eventually is decided upon and additionally agreed to pay workers a bonus for each car produced.

(UP) President Truman today defended army and navy demobilization procedures, explaining that a "critical need for troops overseas" still exists. "Our nation must assume its full share of responsibility for keeping the peace and destroying the warmaking potential of the hostile nations that were bent on keeping the world in a state of warfare," the President stated. Mr. Truman said that a critical need for troops overseas, rather than arbitrary army action, was responsible for a slow-down in the army rate of demobilization. Angry congressional demands for a full investigation of the army's demobilization program mounted today in the wake of mass GL demonstrations which extended from Manila to the very door of congress. The Manila demonstrations were the most spectacular, but gips were also aired in France. In Manila Sgt. Harold Schiffrin, chairman of the GI committee representing 20,000 troops protesting against slow demobilization, announced today plans for forming an organization to represent all the GIs in the Philippines and to plan future action in the drive to bring the GI's home. Schiffrin said that a meeting will be held Thursday at which representatives from all army units in the Philippines are expected to attend. This meeting is expected to establish a permanent general committee to agitate for speedy redeployment. The committee, Schiffrin said, will send cablegrams to congressmen, invite secretary of war Robert Patterson to come and investigate the situation, and propose that congressional groups make a first hand study of demobilization. In Paris, the Stars and Stripes said today that 2,000 soldiers with from 56 to 59 points, held an orderly demonstration at camp Boston near Reims against delay in their redeployment.

Gets $75,000 For Men's Dormitory Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The will of Mrs. Lyle A. Stevenson, filed for probate in Jackson county today, provided for the creation of a fund of about $75,000 for construction of a fraternity-type home at the University of Kansas. The building would be used for young men working to finance their education. The will stated that the fund was left in memory of her late husband, a Kansas City insuranceman, who had a deep interest in the school. It was her desire that the home be comparable to fraternity houses occupied by students who need not work while attending school. Mrs. Stevenson died Dec. 21. Fred Eisworth, alumni association secretary, said here today that Mr. Stevenson, who died several years ago, was known as the "Leave It To Lyle" insurance salesman. Mr. Stevenson was particularly interested in K.U. entomological collections, and had hoped to establish a natural history museum in Kansas City, Ellsworth recalled.

Ho-Hum,This Is Where We Came In The Smiths Are Numerous Again Now go over the pages again and get acquainted with your families, observing full names and addresses. You have a common name, you come from all over the United States, and you belong to one of the 10 most representative families on the campus. But the Smith's are still in the lead. Anderson's claim a 12-count. Education Dean Back The University's most illustrious Smith, George Baxter, has resumed his duties as dean of the School of Education. He was recently released from the army as a lieutenant colonel. Dr. J. W. Twente was acting education dean during the absence of Col. Smith. The Smith's are in the lead, the Brown's are "runners-up", and the Johnson's are a weak third. Talking about? Oh, this is a campus edition of the game of names, so if your name isn't Smith, Brown, Johnson, Jones, Miller, Jackson, Thompson, White, Nelson, or Anderson, this story won't interest you and you might as well move along. The Jackson's, the Nelson's, the Thompson's, the Whites may hunt their respective pages and ponder over the unlucky 13. The trailing To play this game the Smith's open the Student Directory to page 66 and count their number—39. The Brownns turn to page 30 and do likewise; count, 33. Page 48 is crowded by 20 Johnson's and 17 Jones's. Page 55 is fortified by 17 Miller's. Exam Schedules For Two Terms Released Today If anyone has hopes of taking his professor out of a final, he might take note that included in the schedule is a note to faculty members that examinations must be given in all classes according to University regulations. Final examination schedules for the 18 and 12-week semesters and a special exam schedule for navy students were released from the Chancellor's office today. The 18-week examinations will cover a full week—Thursday, Jan. 31, to Thursday, Feb. 7. Three tour and five-hour courses will have three-hour finals, and exams in two and one-hour classes will be two hours. Examinations in the 12-week term will be given at the regular class hours, two hours for five, four three-hour courses; one hour each day. The navy examinations will be held Feb. 7 and 8 during the last hour or two hours of regular class. While finals will be given for two different semester groups at the same time on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 and 2, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, explained that there will be very few conflicts for rooms. Appointment classes will be examined at any hour the instructor and class agree upon, providing it does not conflict with the regular schedule. Courses of both laboratory and lecture may have either two finals, one on the lecture course and one on the laboratory work, or one examination at the lecture hour. The Schools of Law and Medicine will make out their own schedules. Downs' Associates Go to Varied Positions The many associates of Dr. Cora Mitchell Downs, K.U. bacteriology professor, who worked with her during wartime bacteriological investigations, have spread over the country in varied work since the end of the war. Dr. Downs revealed today. These associates, graduates of the University's bacteriology department, and many of them former students of Dr. Downs, included Dr. Kenneth Goodner, of the Rockefeller foundation, who was chief of an investigating division during 1943, and who was instrumental in bringing the K.U. scientist to the work. Another was Dr. Clara Nugt, New Brunswick, N.J., who was in charge of her own project for a year preceding July, 1944, and who has returned to her laboratory work with Squibb's, Inc. Others included Lt. Winston Miller, Paola; Lt. (j.g.) Mary Abla, Iola, and Capt. L. L. Coriell, Detroit. All these five were in charge of various projects within the bacteriological warfare research, and while working with Dr. Downs, they were not under her charge, as previously was reported. Lis. Abts and Owen intend to enter K.U. next semester to complete premedical requirements. Lt. Owen will be a part-time assistant to Dr. Downs at that time. WEATHER Kansas—Clear to partly cloudy and warmer tonight and tomorrow.
