Funds Assured For K.U. School
New York. (UP)—Plans of the William Allen White foundation to provide training for potential leaders in all fields of public communication at the University of Kansas as a memorial to the famous Emporia editor have received the substantial backing of the radio, motion picture, and publishing industries, David Hinshaw, chairman of the sponsor committee, said today.
Hinshaw said the three industries had plans well advanced that would assure half of the $750,000 needed for the proposed five-year program at the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information at the University.
The foundation has announced that the school will undertake to create ability for anticipating and interpreting the social significance of current events rather than talent in the form of their presentation.
Hinshaw said that definite pledges on hand from publishing, radio, and motion picture industries give "substantial guarantee" that each will raise $125,000 and thus assure a total of $375,000 in five years in support of the foundation's program.
He added that the funds are being sought on a five-year basis in belief that the foundation's record of public service during the period will attract support and assure its perpetuation. An additional $375,000 will be sought from the public.
Hinshaw announced personnel of a general committee on which the radio, motion picture, and publishing industries are represented by leaders.
The committee is headed by the following six co-chairmen:
Book publishers, Melville Minton, president, G. P. Putnam's Sons; Magazines, Ben Hibbs, editor of the Saturday Evening Post; motion pictures, Jean Hersholt, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; newspapers, Wilbur Forrest, first vice-president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and assistant editor of the New York Herald Tribune; radio and television, Frank E. Mullen, executive vice-president of the National Broadcasting company; theater, Brock Pemberton, theatrical producer.

Want to Smell Like Old Cognac? (And We Don't Mean Your Breath)
B BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, (UP)—You too, sir, can smell beautiful. Fact is, you'll have to put up a fight to escape it.
Perfume for men is the big new postwar industry, with more than 70 factories turning out lotions, goos, and eau de cologines to make males smell pretty. Now, so help me, Secretary Hank Wallace's commerce department is whooping up the business with suggestions to the retailers on how to persuade your wife to sprinkle the stuff on you.
You want to smell like old cognac?
Scotch heather? Ferns? A cedar tree? Russian leather? New-mown hay? Tanbark? Fresh lumber? Sage brush? Pigskin?
Maybe you'd like to smell like the singing wind in the sails of a tall
You can capture the crisp fragrance of the seven seas in a bottle ($2) and thereafter leave in your wake the soothing coolness of tropic moss; the romance of far-off places.

My favorite perfume, from reading about it, will give you the zesty aroma of newly-felled lumber deep in the vardant forest. That's for me, Secretary Wallace; make me smell like a shingle.
The secretary's Journal of Foreign and Domestic Commerce now comes out with advice on how to trap you, tie you down, and make you smell lovely.
"A number of preparations lend themselves to man's use," it reads. "These include' bath salts, oils, cold cream, a little can eau de cologne for his pocket handkerchief and perhaps a faintly scented sachet for his personal apparel."
Boy! And I always thought the department of commerce stuck to locomotives, structural steel, manila rope, and industrial chemicals.
