★ Roosevelt Asks Committee To Care for Millions of War Homeless
Washington, Oct. 17. —(U.P.)—President Roosevelt called upon the inter-governmental committee or politics refugees today to formulate plans to provide haven for 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 men, women and children who may be made homeless by the European war.
Opening a two-day conference of he committee's executive group, he emphasized that "this ghastly war" as enlarged the refugee problem from one of "comparatively small magnitude" involving about 200,000 o 300,000 persons, to one of worldwide significance.
He told representatives of six of the 32 nations which compose the committee that the dilemma of the efugue "involves no one race group no one religious faith," but is the exact concern of all faiths and all groups.
"We hope and we trust that existing wars will terminate quickly," he said, "and if that is our hope there are all the more reason for all of us to make ready, beginning today, for the solution of the problem of the refuge. The quicker we begin the undertaking and the quicker we bring it to a reasonable decision, the quicker will we be able to say that we can contribute something to the establishment of world peace."
To meet the "challenge," he adda,
it is not enough "to indulge in herd-
ing humanitarianism, empty resor-
sies, golden rhetoric and pious
vords. We must face it actively if
he democratic principle based on
repeat and human dignity is to sur-
ive-if world order, which rests on
security of the individual, is to be
estored."
The first appearance is in January and will be made in Kansas City, Mo., with Karl Krueger's philharmonic orchestra.

Washington, Oct. 17—(UP)–President Roosevelt disclosed today that President Kalinin of Soviet Russia, had advised him that the Russian negotiations with Finland are designed solely to consolidate and strengthen friendly relations between their two countries and in no way can be interpreted as a threat to Finnish independence.
Kalinin's message was in answer to a personal note from Mr. Roosevelt in which he had expressed the "earnest hope that the Soviet Union will make no demands on Finland which are inconsistent with the maintenance of amicable and peaceful relations between the two countries, and the independence of each."

Farmer's 'World Series' Here Nov.3
By Huck Wright, c'40
- Expect Crowd of 150,000
At National Cornhusking
Contest; Dr. Moore in
Charge of Kansas Exhibit
Fifteen minutes before noon on Friday, Nov. 3, an explosion of a huge aerial bomb will start 22 husky farmers on a gruelling contest to determine who will be the world's champion in "America's biggest sporting event" — the National Corn-husking contest.
The 22 contestants will be champion huskers from 11 cornbelt states, experienced performers who are ready for the 80-minute race down the corn rows before an expected crowd of 150,000 spectators—a larger crowd than has ever been assembled either at the Rose Bowl or Madison Square Garden at one time.
The "Farmer's World Series" as the contest is frequently called, the greatest agricultural event of the year. It will include a huge midway with more than $500,000 in farm equipment on display, and a large natural resources exhibit. It will be broadcast by more than 100 radio stations and an army of 200 men will run the show.
Use Much Canvas
A tent, 80 by 500 feet, will house the Resource-Full Kansas exhibit in which contributions of many state departments will be on display. This exhibit, which was designed by Dr. Robert L. Cummings, geologist, under sponsorship of the Kansas legislature, will be opened for three days.
Enough canvas to cover Massachusetts street from the center of Seventh street, south to a point 200 feet past the center of Tenth street, will be used in the tents on the grounds at the husking contest.
Ralph G. Burk, Ottawa, who has been awarded the contract for the rental of the tents, said it is the largest amount of canvas he has ever worked with in organization. There will be 200,000 square feet of material used in all.
Site Is Leonhard Farm
The scene of the contest this year was set in the Kaw valley at Lawrence because of its superior corn crop which produced a 75-bushel yield. The contest will be held at Leonhard farm in northern Lake Lawrence where the contest field and exhibits will be located.
No charge will be made for parking cars. More than 300 acres have been leased for parking, on large fields located at each corner of the Leonhard farm. Food will be available at 23 concession tents and standard prices will be charged. The Independent Student Association of the University has one of these concessions.
Magazine Is Sponsor
The "Kansas Farmer," a Capper publication, is sponsoring the national contest this year which promises to present one of the largest implement shows ever staged in America in addition to presenting the cornhusking contest. The National Cornhusking Contest was originated in 1928 by a number of farmers in various cornbelt states who conceived the idea of going about from state to state each year for a general "get together" event. This year's contest will compete in a cornhusking contest to supply amusement and entertainment for the celebrations.
The national context has built itself into a larger unit each year until now it is one of the largest universities never been a commercial project.
Deadline for Incomplete

The deadline for makeup of incompletes from last semester has been set at Dec. 1 instead of Nov. 1 as previously announced.
