Kansas Medical Plan Proposed by Doctors
Topcka. (UP)—Dr. Barrett A. Nelson, Manhattan, president of the Kansas physicians service, a nonprofit organization, announced today statewide plans for family medical care for $2.25 per month.
Release of the plan was ordered after President Truman's announcement of a compulsory health insurance program yesterday.
The program would provide all surgical, obstetrical care, and treatment of injuries. About half the state's doctors have signed up for the plan, under which a patient may choose his own physician.
Washington. (UP) — Rep. Sam Russell, D., Texas, today introduced a bill to make railroads responsible for any drinking on their trains.
Frankfurt. (UP)—Joseph Rosensaft, chairman of the Jewish committee for the British occupation zone in Germany, charged today that conditions at the Belsen concentration camp are as bad as they were under the Nazis, excepting only elimination of Belsen's wholesale murder mill.
Roosevelt Said 'No' To Navy Increases
Washington. (UP)—Although President Roosevelt insisted on keeping the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1940 as a deterrent to Japanese aggression, he did not then want to increase the navy's personnel, Adm. J. O. Richardson said today.
The committee hoped to learn whether Mr. Roosevelt relieved Adm. Richardson from the fleet command because he would not endorse the chief executive's determination to keep it at Pearl Harbor.
Athens, (UP)—The Greek government headed by Prime Minister Panayoti Canellopoulos resigned today.
Nueremberg, (UP)—Twenty fallen leaders of the Nazi regime went on trial before a United Nations tribunal today and listened unceasily to a shocking indictment holding them directly responsible for the death and misery of World War II.
Superfortress Breaks Nonstop Record Again
Washington. (UP)]—A U.S. Superfortress arrived here from Guam today, setting a new world's nonstop flight record of an estimated 8,198 miles.
The flight was the latest in a series designed, according to the war department, to demonstrate how easily U.S. long-range aircraft could bomb great distances away, and how vulnerable this country could be to "enemy attacks from vast distances."
Moscow. (UP)—The government newspaper, Izvestia, today editorially denied that the Red army is supplying arms and trucks to any faction in Persian Azerbaijan.
Meanwhile, it was announced in Tehran that Iranian troops moving north to reinforce garrisons along the Russian-Iranian border were stopped by Russian occupation forces and ordered to return to Tehran.
'China Can Rule,' Russians Say
(Ru United Press)
(By United Press)
Chungking - negotiations with Soviet Russia have resulted in permission for Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's government to take over Manchuria, central government sources said today.
The Soviet view was said to be one of upholding Russia's obligation under a treaty of last Aug. 14 to permit the national government to take over Manchuria but that "actual military circumstances" there prevented occupation.
It was reported that Russian negotiators insisted that Chinese airborne occupation forces be manned exclusively by Chinese. This provision was said to be acceptable to the Chunqking government.
Present obstacles to taking over a network of military airfields in North Manchuria, originally built by the Japanese for operations against Siberia, include the fact that some of China's best American-trained and American-equipped veteran troops are accustomed to tropical weather and are now garrisoning South China, government sources said.
Lower Classmen Must See Advisers
All College freshmen and sophomores must see their advisers Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday after vacation, Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, reminded today.
Lists of students with their advisers and office hours will be posted outside the College office Monday. Students whose classes conflict with advising periods should arrange with the adviser for a special conference, Dean Ulmer suggested.
Juniors and seniors with unsatisfactory grades will be notified by mail, and will be required to see the dean.
Independents Name Four Council Women
Winners in last night's election for Independent council women, as announced today by Lois Thompson, president of the Independent party are:
Precinct 1, Betty Jennings, Corbin hall; precinct 2, Ruth Carwood, Tipperary; precinct 3, Marylee Masterson, Miller hall; precinct 4, Johnnie May Mann, Foster hall; precinct 5, Frances Fridell, Campus house; and precinct 6, Billie Joan Stillman, Jolife hall.
Election in the four men's precincts will be held immediately after Thanksgiving vacation, Miss Thompson said.
The KU flag on Fraser hall flew upside down all day yesterday. The mistake was apparently not even noticed by the student body.
Wonder Why

Billie Marie Hamilton Is 'K.U. Activity Girl'
BILLIE MARIE HAMILTON
Billie Marie Hamilton, Jay Jane representative to the All-Student Council, is becoming one of K.U.'s top executives. She is president of W.E.C., of the Press club, and of the Christian Science University organization, besides being assistant news editor of the Daily Kansan, a member of the Kansan board and Jay James.
Billie is a College junior majoring in journalism. She is chairman of the A.S.C. social committee and on the Union operating board.
Her pet pieve is the Abbott and Costello routine that happens whenever anyone asks where she lives. It goes like this:
"Where do you live, Billie?" "Wis."
"Yes, that's what I asked you—where?"
Billie collects forge gn newspapers and plays the piano "Where no one can hear me." She likes to read interesting non-fiction.
She is the only member of her family attending K.U., but her younger brother is coming here when he is released from the navy.
A University Memorial association of World War II was formally organized Saturday with Justice Hugo T. Wedell, Topeka, as president, Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, announced today. The association consists of 26 trustees.
If you fail to get your fall edition of the Jayhawker this afternoon, you will have to wait until Monday for a copy.
The carillon tower, part of the World War II memorial, will be located in a landscaped area just north of the Rock Chalk cairn back of Frank Strong hall, according to present proposals, the Daily Kansan learned today.
The magazine is being distributed until 5:30 this afternoon, Sally Fitzpatrick, business manager, said today. Students are asked to call for their copies at the W.E.C. Book Exchange in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union.
Tower Site Tentatively Set
Plans for the Memorial driveway route include an entrance off Mississippi street leading around the northern brow of the Hill, past the carillon tower and Potter lake to the circular flower bed at the west end of the campus. From there it will go behind the engineering laboratories, past the Military Science building and Hoch auditorium, and along the southern edge of the hill high enough to afford a view of the entire Kaw valley.
Mary Jo Cox and Keith Bunnel, will represent the present student body as trustees.
The proposed field house will be built in the northern part of Marvin grove. University workmen are thinning out trees in the grove so that a vista will be formed between the library steps and the field house.
Letters to the Editor
'Some Advantages
The Council is a representative governing body, and it has the allegiance of the student body. It is indeed ignoble that the latter saw fi in order to have its own w a few rah rah "sophomo. able to lead 2,000 students to use the Council decision indicates that the Council did not act in accordance with popular feeling.
The walkout was a big success
In Walkout'—Stovall
Dear Editor:
Yesterday's student walkout has been editorialized as "an anasine, irresponsible exhibition led by a few rah rah College Joes." That, perhaps, is correct. But it is not hard to see that the walkout had some advantages. There was a lot of spirit in that mob. They were proud of a football team that won a game. Spirit like that will win another game. Kansas University has been sadly lacking in football spirit for a long time.
The All-Student Council definitely lost face. It is a splendid body and has by no means failed. It just made a mistake. All governing bodies make mistakes. The majority of students wanted a walkout and they got it. Their governing body figured that the football players who are in the navy program would be unable to cut classes, so they decided not to take advantage of an otherwise splendid opportunity to let loose a little pep. That was a bad decision.
Kansan Coverage 'Unfair,' Three Students Declare
To the University Daily Kansan:
We Protest!
Monday's front-page coverage o. the student walkout was, in our opinion, both prematurely and unfairly presented. It was not based on fact! It is unfair to accuse or implicate any individuals without offering proof of your accusations. We can show that some of the accused "big-time students" took little, if any, active part in the demonstration. We challenge you to show us evidence to the contrary
We contend that it is "asinine" to assume that any six 'rah rah College Joes," however eloquent, can incite two thousand "thinking" students into such an expression of student sentiment. Conversely, why not consider the possibility of one powerful figure coercing a spineless majority of the late student governing body? If their decision reflected student opinion, why was it repudiated?
Did you print hear-say or facts?
Three "Thinking" Students
There was no planning behind it—it was a free spontaneous thing that all enjoyed who participated. A lot of good spirit was loosed. We might beat the Tigers!

Gives Thanks---
A Real Vacation
The first real Thanksgiving vacation we've had since 1941 begins tomorrow, but fired by the University victory over Kansas State, many students will be in Kansas City Saturday to see if a tiger is tougher than a wildcat.
Student interest in this last game of the year is so high the abletic office ran out of tickets Monday.
The annual student rally in Kansas City will begin at noon Saturday in the Continental hotel.
However, 500 more student tickets will be available tomorrow in the University athletic office, it was announced today. There also will be 100 end-zone tickets for the public.
A rally, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. Friday at the Kansas City Advertising and Sales Executives club, has been planned by Kansas City alumni. Speakers will be Gov. Andrew Schoeppel, Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Mayor Gage, and E. C. Quigley, Henry Shenk, coach, and Dr. F. C. Allen, from the athletic department.
The Jayhawkers will meet the favored Missouri Tigers at 2 p.m. Saturday in Ruppert stadium.
The rival teams will meet in Kansas City for the second time in 35 years. Although Missouri holds an edge, the Jayhawkers intend to make it a hard battle.
Coach Henry Shenk predicted a Kansas victory. "The team is in tiptop shape and will put on a good performance Saturday," Coach Shenk said.
The Missouri team outweighs the youthful Jayhawkers at least 20 pounds a man.
Rivalry between the Universities of Kansas and Missouri exists as strongly today as it did in 1891 when Kansas walked away from the first clash with a 22-8 victory.
By winning the game, the Jayhawkers could climb into a third-place tie with Iowa State at two wins, two defeats, and one tie. Such a turn of events would force Missouri to share its championship bunting with Oklahoma university.
The Jayhawkers' last win from the Tigers was in 1943 when Missouri suffered an unexpected defeat, 7-6, in one of the biggest upsets of the year.
Last year, a young Kansas team found the Tigers too much and lost 28-0.
Missouri is preparing for its first Big Six championship in three years. Jayhawk practice this week will emphasize the running attack and passing.
Cecil Langford and George Gear were injured last weekend but will probably join their team for the last chance at football this year. The team will leave for Kansas City Saturday morning.
Slides of Union Plans At ASC Tonight
Color slides of the proposed plans for the addition to the Union will be shown at the All-Student Council meeting at 7:15 tonight in the pine room of the Union building.
"All students are urged to attend," said Mary Jo Cox this morning.
