Gov. Schoeppel Will Confer With Colleges
Governor Andrew Schoeppel will confer with five college heads sometime next week, he announced Tuesday, in an effort to anticipate postwar educational needs, especially those of veterans.
This may be merely preliminary, he said, and the executives may be sent back to work out plans in greater detail.
The Governor said his main objective is to appoint a committee which will work with him in approaching problems of this type. The committee may also help allocate surplus war materials and equipment of various kind expected to be distributed among educational institutions after the war. There will be numerous school busses, adding machines, typewriters, and hundreds of small but important items which will be of no use to the government after the war; and the plan is to give them to the school systems of each state.
He pointed out that the Federal government has indicated intentions of opening facilities through which veterans may complete their education or take up specialized work.
At present, Mr. Schoeppel is not proposing to plan the training of veterans except in colleges and universities. He said, however, that "we know it is coming and I think we ought to go ahead instead of behind this."
The government may want to provide funds for state institutions which will aid in the training program.
"We don't know what will be offered," he explained, "but we ought to be studying our situation. That seems to me to be the sensible way to look at it and to make our plans so we can act promptly."

Lt. Riederer Killed In Italian War Zone
Lt. Floyd Louis Riederer, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Riederer, formerly of Lawrence, has been killed in action in Italy, according to word received this week by his parents.
A bomber pilot on a B-25, Lieutenant Riederer had been in the service since last February. Before entering the service he was a student in the College of the University from 1938 to 1942, and would have graduated last June. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
Thousand See 'Happy Hour'
Approximately 1000 persons including Army and Navy personnel and civilians attended the Navy Happy Hour last night in Hoch auditorium. The show was under the direction of George Rhoades, former student of the University and at present a trainee at the V-12 unit in Kansas City, Mo.
A 20-piece Navy band from the primary training command of the Fairfax naval air station in Kansas City opened the program with a "jam session" of popular jive tunes. Imo Thomas of Kansas City, Mo., was the master of ceremonies.
A chorus of seven girls received acclaim from the men in three specialty tap and acrobatic routines Jean Roberts from the Hagen-Roberts studios in Kansas City, Mo. presented an acrobatic dance.
Especially pleasing to the audience was a song and dance number given by Maudell Hagen of the Hagen-Roberts studio, to "O'Brien's Gone Hawaiian," Leona Schraeder received spontaneous approval from the audience for her interpretations of "The Ranger's Song," "I'll Get By," and "I Didn't Sleep a Wink Last Night."
Another highlight of the program was a double baton routine by George Rhoades and his assistant, Patricia Mendon. Rhoades also presented his sensational fire baton exhibition.
Chief Petty Officer George O. Starkey, who has charge of the shows, greeted the newly arrived second platoon of company four and announced the promotions of Orville Hood and C. V. McGuigan from lieutenants junior grade to lieutenants senior grade.
Raymond O'Hara, pianist with the band, was featured in "Make Believe," and the vocalist, Bill Roberts, sang "Shoo Shoo Baby."
Omaha, Neb. (INS)—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, furnished a surprise to politicians today by the strength he displayed in Nebraska's Republican presidential primary solely on the write-in ballot.
The audience joined in singing "God Bless America" with the entire cast in the finale.
Late returns from yesterday's balloting showed he ran second to former governor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota. Wendell Willkie ran a poor third.

Coed Council Changes Rules On House Hours
The Women's Executive Council has passed two amendments to the house rules for all student residences authorized by the University, Jill Peck, president, has announced.
Men may be entertained at women's rooming houses after 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. No men may be entertained in the house after 8:00 p.m. on nights preceding vacations if there is to be one-half day of school the following day. This ruling is now embodied in Rule 6.
The house rules committee has called attention to the rule that quiet hours for any University house shall last from 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Late permissions for entertaining out-of-town guests may be obtained from the office of the adviser of women, according to Rule 17.
Rivers Still Rise; Verdigris Flows 10 Feet Over Banks
Kansas City, (INS)-Many areas in eastern Kansas still were under water today, and additional flood warnings were sent out as rivers continued to rise at downstream points.
Vern Alexander, federal hydrologist, reported the most badly flooded spot in Kansas today was Independence where the Verdigris was 10 feet out of its banks.
Bottomlands in the Wichita area were flooded by the little Arkansas; and the Marais des Cygnes, after reaching a crest at Ottawa overflowed two feet in La Cygnes. Ottawa's main streets still had a foot of water. The Neosho reached a crest at Burlington and has been subsiding at that point, but Oswego and Chanute reported the stream was more than five feet over flood stage.
Government Offers Meteorology Courses
For women who have completed at least two years of college, including a course in differential and integral calculus and one year of college physics, full tuition scholarships for professional training in meteorology are now being offered by the United States Weather Bureau, L. C. Woodruff, registrar, announced today.
Courses in this work will be organized at New York University on May 8 and also on July 7, at the University of Chicago on May 8, and at Masscahusetts Institute of Technology on July 3. All tuition fees for the 35-weeks course are paid by the government.

Craftons Use Motor Boat To Get Home
Professor Crafton and his wife started to Osawatomie last night despite the report of floods. He was advised by the Lyons club to leave his car on this side of the flood by the insane asylum and from the asylum to call the Lyons club end they would meet him. A truck was sent which could get them safely through the water.
Forced to cross the overflowing river in a motor boat in order to return from Osawatomie, Prof. Allen Crafton, speech department, encountered considerable difficulty trying to return after making a speech before the annual teacher's dinner given by the Lyons club of Osawatomie.
The trip after the dinner back to the car was not quite so easy as the river had by this time gone completely over the bridge. The Lyons club finally got a motor boat and Professor and Mrs. Crafton were carried upstream to the other shore where they could reach their car.
Arriving at the dinner safely, Professor Crafton gave his speech on Kansas which contained quite a long discourse on the climate of Kansas. He remarked that the residents had a new river since the last time he had been that way.
Do Not Appease Nazi Argentina --Efron
The present pro-Axis dictatorship is headed by General Farell of the Group of United Officers, a secret lodge composed of totalitarian-minded officers of the army, according to Dr. Efron. It is not an extremely nationalistic state as Summer Wells would lead one to believe, he said, but is controlled by pro-Facist and pro-Nazi groups.
The present government has destroyed civil freedom, removed judges, abolished the constitution and the legislative body, suppressed
"The United States is in an important political crisis with Argentina, the outcome of which will affect the whole South American continent," he asserted. "The good neighbor policy of the United States must be re-evaluated to coincide with a policy of global war against Nazism and Facism. The United Nations must not allow South America to become an oasis for a comeback of these parties 15 or 20 years from now."
The United States should not appease the present regime in Argentina by acklowledging their government, but neither should it intervene in the internal conflict within the country, was the opinion expressed by Dr. David Efron, Argentina economist, in his lecture in Fraser yesterday.

Malott to Serve on Navy Board

Peace Through Reconciliation Thomas' Theory
Reconciliation and mutual forgiveness among peoples must be combined with practical arrangements for postwar living to obtain a peace which is even likely to be lasting, Norman Thomas, several times Socialist candidate for president, told an audience of students and faculty members in Fraser theater this morning.
Mr. Thomas continued his discussion of postwar problems with an informal address following a luncheon in the University club dining room. He will speak again to students and faculty members at 3:30 this afternoon in the Kansas room of the Union building.
It was Norman Thomas, the preacher of 1911-30, who was a guest of the University's Student Forums Board. Although he is chairman of the Post War World Council and a prominent figure in the Socialist party, he officially represented neither organization in his appearances on the campus.
"The people of no nation are biologically unfit for peace," said Mr. Thomas. "No nation in the world is so bad that its people deserve the punishment which has been laid down in the minds of Americans for Japanese and Germans." Suggests World Federation
In appealing for "practical arrangements" for the postwar world Mr. Thomas condemned "unconditional surrender" as impossible, referred to the Atlantic Charter as the "Reader's Digest edition of Wilson's fourteen points" and stated that the peoples of the world are not yet ready for a world state He suggested, rather, a world federation, in which there will be general disarmament.
