Forty years of service to the University and the field of chemistry will be limned in glory tonight as University professors and persons prominent in chemistry honor Dr. Hamilton P. Cady, chairman of the department of chemistry at a banquet at 6 o'clock in the Memorial Union building.
Former students of the noted chemist, who themselves have made worthwhile advances in the field will speak today, while outside speakers at the dinner, presided over by Dr. F. B. Dains, professor of chemistry, will be Dr. C. M. Suter of Northwestern University, Dr. Robert Coghill of the United States department of Agriculture, and G. H.

Russia Frees Impounded Ship To Germany
- Nazis Say America Must Argue in Wortime Prize Court; No Word of Fate of Crew
Moscow, Oct. 26—(UP)—The Soviet government tonight released the American steamer City of Flint supposedly to a German prize crew (immediately) from the port of Murmukam, where it has been interned.
The government's decision, announced by radio shortly before 10 p.m., did not reveal whether the German prize crew or Capt. Joseph A. Gainard and his American crew had knocked the vessel out of Murmansk.
Diplomatic observers believed however, that the ship was being turned over to Germany in conformity with an agreement reached in negotiations between Germany and Russia.
Berlin, Oct. 28—(UP) - Germany tonight disputed the United States government's demand that Soviet Russia release the American steamer City of Flint and its crew. The sailors had been badly justified" in capturing the vessel and taking it into the Russian port of Murmanak.
An official German statement said that the only way the United States can regain the ship is to argue its case before Germany's wartime prize court, established to deal with contraband seizures.
There was no indication who would be with Capt, Joseph Gainard and his 40 crew members aboard the City of Flint, seized in the Atlantic last week by a sea-roving German warship identified both as the cruiser Ennden and the pocket battleship Deutschland.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull tonight awaited a formal reply from Moscow before taking further steps in the United States' demand that the Trump administration reequalize the American freighter City of Flint and its crew and cargo.
He reserved comment on Moscow dispatches saying the vessel already had been released, and on a German statement that the ship was bound to be surrounded at the Russian port of Murmansk when "damage" developed.
Obviously, taken by surprise,
Hull declined to say what his course
would be if the City of Flint has
been turned back to its Nazi captors
instead of to Capt. Joseph
Gainard, her commander.

Barn Dance Will Climax Folk Festival
★ Frolic To Feature Hog Calling Contest, "Coriest-Dressed" Couple, and Ted West's Ranch Boys
The first Barn Dance Festival will bring rural rhythm to the Campus when Dr. Anne Schley Duggan, head of the department of physical education at Texas State College for Women, comes to the University to conduct an all-day session in folk dancing instruction to be climaxed by a Barn Dance Frolic tomorrow evening.
Bob Patterson, c'42, will be master of ceremonies of the evening barn dance. Star attractions of the Frolie will be the Grand March, which starts promptly at 9 o'clock, and from which the "corniest-dressed" couple will be chosen; a horn-calling contest, sponsored by T. Werner, will take place in two folk舞 features by Doctor Duggan's staff, and music by Ted West and his Kaw Valley Ranch Boys.
Three Sessions
The dance festival instruction classes consist of three sessions: a morning class from 10 to 12 o'clock, afternoon class from 2 to 4 o'clock, and a barn dance in the evening from 9 to 12.
Representatives from all organized houses, ISA, and members of the physical education classes are eligible to attend the instruction classes. There are about 25 extra three-session tickets which may be purchased today in the office of Dr. Gavin Barrie or of the physical education department. Tickets for the evening frollic will be the same as for a regular varsity.
A salient feature of the Festival will be a banquet in honor of Doctor Duggan, and her eight staff members, to be held at 12:30 Saturday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. This luncheon is held especially for the benefit of the out-of-town delegates, for the purpose of their becoming acquainted with Doctor Duggan, who will speak during the luncheon.
Expect Many Guests
Many out-of-town guests are planning to come to the University or Doctor Duggan's school. There will be 19 students and six members of the physical education staff of the University of Nebraska, 12 delegates from Hays six from Dodge City, and other representatives from Kansas City, Ottawa, Emporia, and Salina.
Lead Dances--the commission hopes to further good will and to arouse interest in the University throughout the State by arranging programs before civic clubs, and presenting talks at the high schools. Plans are also being made to send out recent pictures of the University.
Modern dancing will be forgotten for the day and folk dancing, square dancing, and round dancing will be the only dance style. Indoor dancing will be given those students who attend the day classes.

- Chancellor's Message Read To Group by Kuroner at Meeting Yesterday
Chancellor Malott was to have addressed the group, but at the last minute he was unexpectedly called to Chicago. Irving Kuraner, c'40, the Chancellor's executive committee, read the Chancellor's message to the commission.
"I just want to say that I'm for you. The work which you are undertaking is of great importance to the University and to the students of future years. If I can at any time be of any assistance to any of you individually in this effort, be sure to call on me."
Kuruner announced that a convo-
lation, by counties, will be held early in December to discuss plans for programs and activities. The executive board of the commission em-
phasized the importance of the county chairmen wasting no time in getting their programs underway
The executive committee selected members of the commission whom they thought would be most interested and who would have sufficient time to devote to the work. The members, representative students in their community, will be the con- ditioner and the University, and much of the success depends upon their en-devor and perseverance.
Pachacamac Polls Voters On Reform Measures
Facing opposition to their elector clean-up proposal, Pachacumac is polling 1,000 voters today to giv students a voice in the measure.
Pachacamac, bill presented at the Council meeting last Monday night proposed a seven-day pre-election limit on campaign activities, and to increase literature to concise explanations of party platforms and candidates.
P. S.G.L. opposed the bill on the ground that it would practically eliminate effective campaigning among independent rooming houses, where, they said, most of the League
support lies. Fraternity-supported Pachacamac, the League said, will not be seriously effected by the law.

  Smoking Low
Women's smoking in Campus buildings will be restricted this morning, for the smoking ban assured Tuesday by the W.S.G.A. iow goes into effect today in its imended form.
Miss Jean Robertson, c'49, who proposed the amendment, said, "I believe the women of the University, as a body, are behind the non-smoking bill, and I do not feel that measures of punishment will have to be enforced by the W.S.G.A. because of the favorable attitude of the students toward the smoking ban."
The bill was passed Tuesday evening by an 11-2 majority. The amendment stated that University women will not smoke on either the first or second floors of the Frank strong hall, nor in buildings on the campus which the Superintendent of Grounds deems destructive or hazardous; also, buildings will be included in which smoking is prohibited or be appointed to be appointed. This Committee will lecide the status of such buildings as he Watson library which are not considered fire hazards.
Women found smoking in the buildings will be asked to refrain, but if the offence is continued their will will be printed in The Daily Kansan.
Habitual offenders will be brought before the W.S.G.A. council and may be subject to loss of credit hours.
Men To Decide Smoking Ban A Week Sooner
Legality of indoor smoking will be decided a week sooner as a result of a Men's Student Council decision yesterday to move forward their regular Nov. 6 meeting to Oct. 30.
The smoking bill was tabled at the meeting Monday night and action on the measure was not expected for two weeks. The change in meeting time will hurry the M.S.C. decision one week.
Councilmen made the change at an irregular session yesterday.
