Robber "Sets Em Up" For Tavern Victims
Kansas City, Mo. (UP) - James B. Hartnett, 37, a bartender, didn't forget his manners after he robbed a tavern early today of $71.
After forcing Steve Civella, bartender, to remove cash from the pockets of eight customers, Hartnett waved them back to the bar saying, "All have a drink on me." Hartnett then waited while the drinks were being drawn.
Civella fired two shots as Hartnett fled in a stolen taxicab, and Hartnett was nabbed by Detectives Thomas Redmond and William Peters who happened to be passing.

'Lone-Ranger' Sued
Hollywood. (UP)—Al Jennings friends today testified to the moral character of the Oklahoma ex-outlaw, who is trying to collect a hundred thousand dollars because a "lone ranger" radio program allegedly bemisured his reputation.
Terror of the Southwest 50 years ago, Jennings, 82, lecturer and retired evangelist, sued the sponsors of the "Lone Ranger" because he objected to the radio program calling him a burglar. He complained that after the broadcast, neighbors and children avoided him.
Washington. (UP)—The Navy announced today that all naval reservists who have been prisoners of war are eligible for immediate demobilization, regardless of points or anything else.
Tokyo. (UP)—Movie hero Jimmy Cagney no doubt was amazed today to hear that he was a "gunner on a fighter plane," in service on Guadalcanal and bloody Okinawa.
The newspaper Mainichi carried an account by a Mr. Suzuki, a minor government official, of how he entertained "Mr. Cagney" in Yokohama last week. His "guest" undoubtedly was a glib-tongued GI without funds, but wealthy in time and blarney.

beetle-browed "beast of Belsen," denied every atrocity charge against him in a statement read today before a British military court hearing the trial of Kramer and 45 other Nazis.

A total of $83,000 remains of the stadium debt, E.C. Quigley, athletic director, said today.
'Only' $83,000 Left On Stadium Debt
Since the beginning of Director Quigley's campaign to cut the $113,00 debt on Memorial stadium, $30,000 has been paid through the contributions of alumni and friends of of the University.
The 1944-45 drive lasted a little more than five months, ending in May, when the athletic department began to emphasize "recquiting" high school athletes for the University. About the middle of next month, the drive will be resumed, Quigley added.
Mr: Quigley began his drive shortly after his arrival on the campus last year, and his self-established quota of a "bond a day" already has been exceeded for all of 1945.
The athletic office now is preparing a four-page booklet-leter with information about K.U. athletics and the progress of the stadium debt drive. The booklet contains a letter from a serviceman stationed in the Pacific area who sent Quigley a check for $50 for the debt, pictures of the coaching staff, and football and basketball schedules.
Although no official drive ever has been conducted on the campus, organized houses contributed more than $00 to the campaign and faculty members more htam $600.

Frankfort. (UP)—Gen. George S. Patton has been relieved of his U.S. Third Army command and the concurrent military governorship of Bavaria, where he advocated keeping Nazis in some administrative posts, it was announced today. Patton is
being shifted from Bavaria to the command of the U.S. 15th Army—a virtually non-existent force, consisting of little more than a headquarters detachment which is writing a report of U.S. participation in the European war.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower late today announced his decision in the Patton case. It was a severe punishment for the hot-headed, loose-tongued Patton, who appeared before Eisenhower Friday to explain his defiance of headquarters orders to purge Bavaria of Nazis.
Lt. Gen. Lucian K. Truscott, former commander of the U.S. Fifth Army in Italy, was named commander of the U.S. Third Army and of the Eastern military district in the American occupation zone of Germany, succeeding Patton. Now Has No Authority
The transfer of Patton meant that he had been banished from the American occupation zone and removed from any position of authority over the Germans.
The handful of headquarter troops which he will head as 15th Army commander are stationed west of the Rhine at Bad Neuenahr, near the Remagen bridge in the middle of the French occupation zone.
Eisenhower's punishment of Patton was regarded by headquarters observers as extremely severe—perhaps even more so than if he had been sent home.
It removed him from the command of the army which he led from the hedgerows of Normandy in the Blitz-sweep across France and on

George "Dumpy" Bowles, composer of "Tm a Jayhawk," traditional University pep song, will introduce two new songs at the all-student convocation in Hoch auditorium at 10 a.m. Thursday.
"Students skipping Thursday's convocation will find all college hangouts, the Union fountain, the Cottage, and the Jayhawk cafe—closed," Alberta Cornwell, head cheerleader, stated today.
Bowles considers the two songs he will introduce, "The March Song of Kansas U," and "Score a Touchdown for Kansas," equal to his first composition.
