Truman Arms For Wage Battle
Washington. (UP)—President Truman, dropping his usual conciliatory tone with congress, plunged into his first major fight with the lawmakers today in an effort to salvage three basic planks of his reconversion platform.
The president sounded the battle cry last night in his wage-price speech. In blunt and vigorous language, he singled out two house committees as responsible for "damaging delays" in passing jobless benefits and full employment legislation. And he criticized both the house and senate for favoring restoration of the U.S. employment service to the states.
The reaction in congress was that Mr. Truman was picking himself a losing fight.
The president had called for higher wages without inflationary price increases in his radio speech.
Authorizing price increase in some cases, he asserted that industry in general could afford to pay its workers more and still not require higher prices for its goods.
Mr. Truman said that in industries considered "essential to reconversion," price adjustments will be tolerated if they are warranted by wage boosts necessary to attract sufficient manpower.
"The President's blunt stand appeared to have brought a definite conclusion to the "honeymoon" period of his relations with congress. Previously, he operated as "one of the boys," a former senator who dropped into the offices of old friends for lunch and sought to put over his program by friendly persuasion.

K-State, K.U. No Damage Pact To Be Published
A "no damage" pact between Kansas State and the University will be published during Homecoming week, the All-Student Council voted last night.
The pact, in which both schools promise to refrain from destruction of property and to pay for any damages occurring after the K.U.-Kansas State game, was formed at a joint Student Council meeting several years ago, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, explained.
| "The two student councils agreed to publish the pact in their respective school papers," Dean Werner said.
The special election called for Nov 7 to vote on the proposed amendment to the parking fine bill will not be held. Prof. E. O. Stene, of the political science department, told the Council that only amendments to the constitution are referred to the student body for a vote.
The council voted to sponsor the Homecoming Varsity dance, Nov. 17, with the Union committee sharing half the expenses and half the profit from the dance.
The council will vote on the amendment later.

80-Mile-an-Hour Wind Tunnel Can Beat Our Profs Any Day
Black, who is a 6-foot, 3-inch. 200-pounder, has reported for his first practice with Coach "Phog" Allen's cagers.
Students often speak of professors as windy, but the big "blow" on the campus is housed under the west end of the stadium. It's round, firm, and draws at 80 miles per hour. The aeronautical engineering department calls it a "wind tunnel."
Moving pictures of the candidates will be taken tonight by Steve Smith, Topeka, in the bureau of visual education, 15 Fraser hall, Mr. Montgomery said. The pictures will then be sent to non-University judges who will select the queen and two attendants.
Names of the 23 candidates for the title of University Homecoming queen were announced today by Fred Montgomery, chairman of the queens committee.

"Big Windy" looks like a trombone minus the slide, with a huge bell-shaped opening at one end of the 80-foot tube. Both ends of the tunnel have to be screened to keep out the pigeons. The wind is created by a 75-horsepower motor and a four-bladed propeller.

Each year students in aeronautical engineering design an airplane and test a scale model in the tunnel. The tests are recorded in a little room under the tunnel with windows looking into the tube, which is five feet in diameter. Here the model does its best to perform like it will when it "grows up" and becomes a real airplane.

airplane. It takes one class a full semester to test one plane, and one student made 4,000 separate tests according to Prof. William Simpson, of the department.
The K.U. tunnel was the seventh built in the nation, according to Prof. E. D. Hay, mechanical engineering department, who helped build it. Completed in 1929, the wood and concrete structure was made from the plans used by Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Stop Telling Reds What to Do, Pares Advises
Convocation speaker on "Russia Now." Sir Bernard was emphatic in his "hands off" warning to America in her treatment of Russia.
The United States. "which has no foreign policy whatever," should "stop trying to tell Russia what to do on her own doorstep," Sir Bernard Pares, English authority on the Soviet, told the Daily Kansan in an interview here today.
“Molotov is just playing poker with you people,” he declared. “He is dealing one card at a time, to kill every trump you have. You tell him to keep hands off the Monroe canal because of the Monroe Doctrine, and he answers that Russia has some sort of Monroe Doctrine, too, and why don't you get the idea to keep your hands off it?”
Russia's attitude is "irritating other countries, and should stop," Sir Bernard said. There is no imaginable reason for war with Russia, he commented, because "she must have peace to rebuild, peace to live."
Atomic power should not be shared with Russia or the rest of the world "because the world is not up to it," he stated. The secret of the atomic bomb "will get to Russia, of course, before long," he added.
A third world war will explode if the United Nations insist on agreeing in every detail of the rehabilitation of the European countries. Sir Bernard predicted.
Despite President Truman's foreign policy declaration of last weekend, "the United States has no real foreign policy," Sir Bernard said.
"Any international body for world peace would fail, anyway, because dirty, underhanded politics would enter, and the machinery would be run by crooked, political, power intrigue," he declared.
"And you better get one, and soon, too," she said. "Treat Russia carefully—don't try to run all her affairs. There's no use in trying to keep her out of the Far East—they's in already, with more men and supplies than America ever had there."
