Mail Gifts Early And Carefully, Post Office Advises
"Do your Christmas mailing early and carefully," is the advice of Bruce E. McKee, Lawrence post office clerk who is substituting for R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the University station, this week.
"In spite of our warnings, people continue to send Christmas packages wrapped only in tissue paper," Mr. McKee said. "The wrapping station sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will be open about Dec. 10 and will offer its free service to students as well as townpeople."
Decorative seals or "non-postage stamps" may not be used on the face of parcels to be sent overseas, but may be put elsewhere on the package, Mr. McKee explained.

Byrnes Names Diplomats Who Angered Hurley
Washington. (UP)—Secretary of State James F. Byrnes declared today Patrick J. Hurley would have had the State department's complete backing if he had continued in his post as U.S. ambassador to China.
Hurley resigned yesterday with the charge that career diplomats in the State department had sabotaged his attempt to unify now warring factions in China on a democratic basis. He did not then identify the diplomats he had in mind.
It appeared a certainty that either the house or senate would investigate his charges.
President Truman, meanwhile,
conferred with Gen. George C. Marshall,
former Army chief of staff,
who will be his personal envoy to China. Marshall will succeed Hurley in China at least temporarily.
Byrnes said the career diplomats whose activities displeased Hurley were George Atcheson and John Service. They subsequently were recalled from China and are now in Tokyo on the State department's advisory staff to Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
Harry Lees Hangs Out Shingle Apartments for Rent to GIs
Hurley charged that career diplomats undermined his efforts to bring the Chinese central and Communist elements together by giving aid and comfort to the Communists behind his back.
Byrnes said Hurley objected to a report which Atcheson sent the department from Chungking while Hurley was in the United States on leave. In that report, Byrnes said, Atcheson outlined a plan to promote unity in China. Hurley found statements in it to which he objected on the basis of policy. Byrnes said.
"There is no change in United States policy as to China," Byrnes said. "We are now implementing the terms of Japan's surrender. The United States troops now in China are there to disarm and to repatriate the Japanese armies in compliance to a promise made to the Japanese authorities last Aug. 16."
On Candidate List

The name of Dorothy Savage, Alpha Delta Pi, was unintentionally omitted from the list of candidates for "Miss Student Union" in yesterday's Daily Kansan.
Keeping one apartment for himself, he rents others to servicemen with children, and expects the house to pay for itself.
This is the advice of Harry Lees, sophomore in the School of Fine Arts, who solved his housing problem by purchasing an eight-room house a month ago.
"But I didn't," the former army lieutenant declared. "Being a landlord is too much fun."
"When I couldn't get all the feathers off one wing of my Thanksgiving chicken, I just cut the wing off," he explained.
ing curtains and drapes. In between times, he attends classes and practices trumpet, his major.
After paying $3,000 for the building, he could have sold it for a $500-profit the next day.
Lees, who is not married, takes housekeeping in his stride and thinks cooking is a snap.
"I made some unusual cake icing," he remarked. "I didn't want to use any eggs, so found a recipe which said to melt a cup of granulated sugar until it was brown. The cake was large; so I dumped in another cup, then poured it over the cake."
So far, he has not found the life of a landlord too complicated. He has been busy, however, installing channellets, building bookcases, conferring with a plumber, and buy-
"Something must have happened," he added. "I couldn't dent that cake with my sharpest knife!"
Lees, wanting to evict the mice from his closet, is in the market for a house-broken cat.
