Washington — (INS) — Selection of a successor to Secretary of State Cordel Hull was the biggest problem facing President Roosevelt today.
Byrnes May Be F.D.R.'s Choice To Succeed Hull
Hull, three-term leader of the state department, submitted his resination to the President with the blunt disclosure that his health would no longer permit him to undertake the arduous duties of directing the nation's foreign affairs. It as understood, however, that Hull will serve the government ex-officio in the post war negotiations of world peace, his health permitting.
News of Hull's resignation gave birth to a flurry of speculation on the identity of his successor.
Rumor has it that the President's first choice is War Mobilization Director James F. Brynes, former associate justice of the supreme court and ex-senator from South Carolina. Brynes is one of the president's most intimate friends and one of the most popular men on Capitol Hill.
Other possible successors in the order of their choice would likely be: Secretary of War Henry L Stimson, Under Secretary of State Edward Stettinus, Vice President Henry Wallace or John G. Winant, a former Republican governor of New Hampshire and present ambassador to England.

A knowledge and understanding of the basic characteristics and the cultural heritage of the present society would be possible under a "must" course dealing with western civilization, according to a proposal of the committee on curriculum. This course would be for freshmen and sopokores.
Also being considered is the possibility of eliminating introductory elements in botany, entomology, physiology, and zoology in favor of a general biology course which would present the scope of sciences and their relationship before the student selects any one subject for his science requirements.

American B-29 superfortresses blasted Tokyo today, for the second time in four days, and a simultaneous assault by the gigantic four engine bombers was directed against Thailand's capital, the city of Bangkok.

A new series of lectures for students of the University will be initiated tomorrow night by the YMCA and YWCA. At 8 o'clock p.m., Leeland Hazard, vice-president of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., will speak in the Kansas room of the Union building on "McGuffey and Post-War America."
This lecture and those which follow it, said Luther Buchele, YMCA president, are to be open to anyone who is interested. The series, he explained, will include lectures on problems which seem particularly pertinent to students.
In his lecture tomorrow night, Mr. Hazard will consider the post-war domestic future of the United States, particularly with the relations which will exist between government and industry. He has spent a great deal of time in Washington during the past three years working with government wartime and postwar planning agencies. Mr. Hazard was formerly a prominent Kansas City lawyer.
"We hope," said Rachel Vander-Werf, executive secretary of the YWCA, "that many people who are not members of YMCA and YWCA, will attend and find an interest in the lecture tomorrow night."
