1944 President May Be GOP

Columbus, Ohio, (INS)—Alfred M. Landon, GOP presidential nominee in 1936 and former governor of Kansas, believes the Republicans have a good chance of electing a president in 1944, but if he has any idea who the GOP nominee will be, he is keeping it a secret.
Landon arrived in Columbus from Albany, New York, today where he conferred with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey after a visit with President Roosevelt in Washington. He was to leave for his home in Topeka after spending the afternoon with Gov. John W. Bricker, a leading possibility for the republican nomination next year.
The 1936 GOP presidential nominee parried all questions of newsmen who sought his opinion as to which candidate has the best chance of winning the 1944 presidential nomination.

A TROPHY IS NEEDED.
Seems to us that some wealthy alumnus or the University itself might give Jayhawk athletics a big boost if they would dig into their pockets and purchase a trophy, to be awarded each year to the University's outstanding athlete. Men such as this year's Ray Evans and last year's Ralph Miller deserve such recognition.
A TROPHY IS NEEDED
The trophy could either be a floating one—in the possession for the following twelve months of the winner each year—or could be kept permanently upon the Campus with the names of the annual winners inscribed thereon. If donated, the trophy could bear the name of the donor. If furnished by the University itself, the award could be named after some Jayhawk great such as the incomparable Glenn Cunningham.
Annual choice of the trophy winner could be made by a vote of all University lettermen, or by avote of the University Athletic board (dubbed the anti-athletic board by the inimitable Phog Allen in his recent difference with that group), or by a special committee set up for that purpose.
SHENK MAKES A PROMISE
*****
Is the appointment of Henry Shenk to the coaching job just a temporary measure, or will the physical ed instructor hold on after the war? At present all the signs seem to point to a Shenk regime only for the duration, since it was stressed that he was named only "acting coach," and for the '43 season alone.
Shenk in his first chalk talk with Jayhawkger gridmed recently showed much of the fire of Bill Hargiss, last of the really successful Kansas football coaches. Promised Shenk: "One thing I am going to fight for next fall is good blocking and tackling. We will spend plenty of time on fundamentals."
In that statement, Shenk certainly put his finger on the two glaring weaknesses of the Henry and Lindsey-coached teams—especially the lack of capable blocking. If Shenk can correct those weaknesses, he will have the blessing of practically the entire student body to continue the coaching chores after the war.
Phog Allen, basketball mentor and a former grid coach himself, has only praise for Shenk's knowledge of both the gridiron and track games. Shenk's biggest handicap, of course, will be his lack of a national reputation to attract the prep stars here. The likeable intramural head, however, has personality, and is in solid with high school coaches, which is the first step in that direction.

Chicago, (INS)—Chicago's spring war on mosquitoes suffered a severe setback today with the announcement that there is a shortage of pyrethrum because of the war.
Pyrethum, a chrysanthemum, flourishes only in Japan and in Kenya Colony, Africa. Efforts to cultivate the plant in Colorado are handicapped by labor shortages, J. Lyell Clark, sanitary engineer of Des Plaines Valley mosquito abatement district, declared.
Faurot Postpones Colorado Game
Columbia, (INS)—Don Faurot, coach of the University of Missouri Tigers announced today that the annual Missouri-Colorado football game had been postponed for the duration. Transportation difficulties caused postponement of the game scheduled for Oct. 16 in Boulder, Colo.
Plans To Save Tires--against the road or the landing grounds of ___ $ \textcircled{1} $ ___
New Methods Developed To Check 'Thunder Bolts'
Detroit, (INS)—Newly developed methods of preventing the formation of destructive "thunderbolts" on rubber tires of war tanks, planes and ordinary automobiles were among the significant advances in various fields of chemistry reported at the American Chemical Society yesterday.
When tires rub against the airplanes, electricity is formed by friction. If this electrical charge is not dissipated, it increases in amount until it becomes dangerous. Electrical discharges, "Thunderbolts," may result and cause considerable damage. Engineers Mix Rubber Stocks
Chemical engineers Drs. Leonard H. Cohan and Martin Seinberg, of the Continental Carbon Laboratories in New York stated that by mixing certain types of carbon black in natural and synthetic rubber tire stocks it is possible to make the material capable of getting rid of electricity by itself.
In other words, the carbon black treated rubber itself acts like a "lightning rod," so that when electricity begins to accumulate on it, a condition of leakage takes place. Such rubber becomes a "semiconductor," half way between a metal and an insulating material.
The best kind of carbon black is the acetylene black, but there is a shortage of this substance. Hence research was undertaken to find other varieties of carbon black, some ten million pounds of which will be needed in making synthetic rubber tires this year.
New carbon blacks have been found, and their tests show that by their use electrical sabotaging of rubber tires could be largely controlled.
Among the synthetic rubbers a new kind, called Agripol, was discussed by Drs. Andrew J. Snyder and Clinton A. Braidwood, of the Reichhold Chemical Laboratories in Detroit. It has been made from agricultural materials, and can be satisfactorily used as a substitute for natural rubber in many ways. New Metal Acts Like Radium
The production and isolation of a new kind of cobalt metal, which acts like radium, was reported by Prof. Charles A. Doan and Drs. W. A. Bacon and J. D. Kurbatov, of Ohio State University.
When iron was bombarded with heavy hydrogen atomic cores, the new kind of cobalt was produced. By a special method it was purified. Then it was injected into the bodies of rabbits.
Because it acts like radium, hurling out electronic bullets from time to time, it can be detected by detecting instruments no matter in which part of the animal's body it becomes accumulated.

Thus, the secrets of cobalt inside the living body will be discovered.
Cobalt has been considered as a possible cause of certain undesirable effects in the blood cells producing machinery of the human body. On the other hand, a small amount of it might be useful as one of the minerals required in daily diet.
The new method is expected to solve the problem of man's need for cobalt or of its possible injurious effects.
Prof. Harry Eagle, with Drs. George O. Doak and H. G. Steinman of Johns Hopkins University, have developed new drugs for treatment of syphilis. These "amide-substituted phenyl-arsine 'oxides' might prove to be more effective and less harmful," the investigators suggested.
