Russia Breaks With Japan UNIVERSITY Daily Kansas Jap Cabinet Quits Owing to Dispute
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1945
42nd YEAR
Yanks 136 Miles from Berlin; Showdown on Okinawa is Near
(International News Service)
The day's grist of news from all battle fronts was a triumph of Allied arms against a faltering army.
On every one of the seven separate fronts in Western Europe, American, British, and Canadian troops piled up impressive gains and the armies of Soviet Russia in the east moved to the fringes of storied Vienna.
The great Allied drive to bisect Germany from west to east and join with the armies of Russia for the final kill carried U. S. third army troops to points within 136 miles of greater Berlin today.
Near for Junction with Russians
Near top SUNSHINE
Forward elements of the Third army surged into Muelhausen, 136 miles from the outskirts of Berlin, and this new gain of Patton's troops place them 168 miles from the last reported Russian position in the east.
NUMBER 125
U. S. Ninth army troops reached the ancient city of Hamelin, 25 miles from the major rail center of Hannover.
The second armored division of the Ninth army rolled forward 25 miles to reach the Weser river.
British Move Near Bremen
Reuters reported that the British Seventh armored division is within 38 miles of Bremen.
Overhead, Allied bombing fleets dealt devastation to Germany's few remaining worthwhile targets.
Premier Marshal Joseph T. Stalin announced the capture of Bruck, 18 miles southeast of Vienna.
American troops on Okinawa prepared for a showdown fight with the Japanese as indications mounted that the enemy garrison, estimated at between 60,000 and 80,000 troops, was getting ready to turn the lower portion of the island into a bloody battlefield.
General Douglas MacArthur announced another invasion by his troops, this time at Masbate island.
Buses Accommodate With Extra Schedules
For the third consecutive Sunday, Rapid Transit buses will accommodate West Hills' residents with service five times a day primarily to allow church attendance in the morning and theater attendance in the afternoons, according to J. J. Wilson, manager of the Rapid Transit Co.
"If loads warrant sending the buses on Sunday, the schedule will continue," Mr. Wilson said. "However, because of tire and gasoline rationing, insufficient loads may force us to abandon the project," he stated.
Dr. Lucy Barr has been doing war research work in the department of bacteriology with Dr. C. M. Dows since March. Dr. Barr was graduated from the University in 1930 and received her doctor of bacteriology degree in Minnesota in 1934.
The new schedules for Sunday service have been distributed to various houses on the campus.

Concert Series Program Told
Next year's concert series, including six programs and a possible seventh complimentary recital with Bronislaw Huberman, violinist, was announced by Dean D. M. Swarthout, manager of the University Concert course.
The first three programs of the 1945-46 series will include Argentinita and her Spanish Dance Ensemble, Blanche Thebom, mezzosoprano, Metropolitan Opera company, and the Ballet Theater with a symphony orchestra and 80 people.
Fourth in the series will be the return engagement of the Don Cossack chorus and dancers of 30 men, directed by Serge Jaroff. The Russian troupe scored a hit with a University audience when it appeared for the Concert course in 1942.
Mr. Huberman has promised that if a satisfactory schedule can be arranged he will make a return performance to compensate for his inability because of illness to complete his recital here last December.
Robert Casudeau, French concert pianist will play for his first performance in Lawrence, and James Melton, tenor. Metropolitan Opera company will sing for the last scheduled program in the series.
Fair and warmer tonight and Friday.
High School Students Arrive For Festival
Judges Choose Queen Nominees Tomorrow
Representatives from each of the schools will present one-act plays Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning in Fraser theater. Also scheduled for the festival are extemporaneous speaking, oratory, radio drama and prose reading events.
Approximately 150 students from the fifteen Kansas high schools that are participating in the University's annual Speech and Drama festival, will arrive here tomorrow afternoon.
From approximately 250 photographs of contestants for the Jayhawk beauty queen,40 will be selected by a committee of eight judges tomorrow night to attend an informal tea Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in the Kansan room.
From this selected group of women fifteen will be chosen to be photographed. These photographs will then be sent to Hollywood for the final judging.
The judges who will choose the fifteen women are: Christopher Thomas, freshman medicine; Bob Ramsey, Engineering junior; Harold Warwick, College freshman; R. J. Atkinson, Engineering senior; Bob Stewart, freshman medic; Leon Thomas, College sophomore; Charles Cowan's, freshman medic; and Dewey Nemec, Pharmacy senior.
Wheeler's Ties Aren't Loud; They're "Just Colorful"
University students have been invited to attend the events beginning at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater. No admission will be charged.
"My ties aren't loud," the professor explained mirthfully. "They're just colorful. Drab and colorless things bore me."
Ambitious R. H. "Loud Tie" Wheeler, professor of psychology, plans to design a schizophrenic pattern and paint such a tie himself this summer.
As he thoughtfully pondered the situation, he added, "I've been falsely accused of wearing ties that don't blend. Of course, my ties aren't the same color as my suits, for wearing your entire costume in the same color is a sign of stagnation."
Have you considered the novelty of a fluorescent tie?
"Color boosts my spirits," the already spirited professor declared. "A gay tie helps me to remain gay."
Likes Colorful People Too
Colorful people appeal to Professor Wheeler, so also do colorful things—including ties.
Likes Colorful People Too
His collection, which displays the results of 15 years of conscientious labor, contains enough ties to wear a different one every day during a semester. His favorite tie brought $20.50 for the War Chest drive last fall.
Cities in all parts of the world and all over the United States are represented in Professor Wheeler's hobby collection of ties. He has no favorite color, as long as it's "colorful," but his favorite cravats contain unique, uncommon, unusual, remarkable, and rare designs. Hand-painted ties are about the only type that fulfill these requirements, he has found.
Collection Over Fifteen Years
An exclusive tie firm in Atlantic City, was tipped off somehow about Professor Wheeler's mania for ties. As a result he receives pattern samples periodically from them, but "They're too commonplace," insists Professor Wheeler.

Russia broke with Japan today.
In reprisal for Japanese aid to Germany and Tokye's war against the Anglo-American allies, Soviet-Russia denounced the 5-year treaty of neutrality and non-aggression signed with Japan on April 13, 1941.
Soviet foreign Commissar Vyacheslav M. Molotov called the Japanese ambassador to the Kremlin and informed him that the pact signed with much fanfare four years ago has been unilaterally abrogated.
The news came at a moment when Japan was involved in another cabinet crisis provoked by the sudden resignation of
These advisory periods, a part of the general advisory system, are to aid students having some difficulty with their class work early in the semester.
Freshmen and sophomores in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, whose names appear on the four weeks report list, are to see their advisers Monday and Tuesday, Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, announced today.
Underclassmen To See Advisers In Grade Check
Another list of all freshmen and sophomores in the college and their advisers will be posted so that any underclassman may consult his adviser if he wishes. However, it is not compulsory unless the student's name appears on the four weeks list. The advisers' office hours will be posted to aid both adviser and student to make appointment plans.
The list will appear on the bulletin board opposite room 229 in Frank Strong hall early Monday morning.
Haines Completes Engineering Unit
William Haines, senior in the School of Engineering, has just completed a salt saturation unit valued at $1,150, which will be moved from Fowler shops to Lindley hall soon, according to Prof. Paul G. Hausman.
Students in the chemical engineering department, who are enrolled in design classes under Dr. Thomas T. Castonguay, are also taking welding classes in the department of shop practice, under the direction of Professor Hausman. This is in order to correlate the work in design with the actual construction problems, according to Professor Hausman.
Y. W. C. A. Delegates To Meet in Topeka
"These actual construction problems have proved very valuable to the chemical engineering students during the past few years, and such a plan is in keeping with modern educational trends," he said.
Delegates from the Y. W. C. A. will attend a meeting of the Topeka Y. W. C. A. Saturday afternoon. Plans are being made by both chapters for the national conference, April 14, and the delegates will listen to ideas discussed in a workshop from 2 until 4 p.m. Saturday. At least two women, and perhaps five, will go.
The Schools of Arts, Engineering Law, Fine, Arts, and Pharmacy were established at the University in 1891.
Premier General Kumar so, because of the admitted gravity of the war situation in the Pacific and inability of his military leaders to stem the tide of American advances.
The Russo-Japanese treaty had stipulated that the agreement was to last until April 25,1946,but that if no notice were given by either signer of the pact before April 25 of this year, the treaty would be automatically renewed.
Molotov told the Japanese ambassador that the international situation no longer is like that under which the treaty was signed; that Japan is an ally of Germany who is an enemy of Russia and that Japan is an enemy of the United States and Great Britain who are allies of Russia.
The action of Russia was expected in many diplomatic quarters.
The reaction in Japan was the hastening of the cabinet crisis.
KFKU Initiates Series of Three New Radio Programs
Three new program series will be heard over KFKU during the months of April, May and June, Miss Mildred Seaman, director of radio, announced today.
Students of the School of Fine Arts will present a 15-minute recital at 2:45 p.m. each Monday. Gorgia Weinrich and Allen Rogers will initiate the series with two piano recitals. Nine other Fine Arts students will perform in May and June. They are Helen Pierson, violinist; Martha Lee Baxter, 'cellist; and Norma Lutz, Ruth Russell, Nadine Brewer and Zendra Cass, all vocalists.

With the U.S. Ninth Army 30th Division Inside Germany — (TNS)— The tranquil Weser River which officers feared might become a major obstacle on the road to Berlin proved nothing more than a pushover today for veteran river crossing American doughboys.
