Democracies Strive to Close Their Ranks
★ War Flores as Hungarian Troops Clash With Slovaks Along 15-Mile Strip of Bristling Frontier
By the United Press
Europe's Democracies labored determinedly to close their ranks today as a triumphant Adolf Hitler welcomed Memel "Home to the Reich" with a broad hint that Naples has resumed its role in the war, rewriting the treaty of Versailles.
Great Britain and France were understood to have exchanged secret written agreements binding their pledges of mutual defense of Holland, Switzerland and Belgium in event of aggression against those na-
Even as the Führer—whom British statesmen recently described as breaking his pledged word—speak before cheering throngs and as Germany displayed her re-born naval might in the Baltic sea, a sudden new burst of warfare exploded in Naz Central Europe.
Exact cause of the conflict between two units which must bow to the Nazi overlordship or perish was only partly clarified by reports that Hitler had promised Hungary the right to attack Austria there was little doubt that both nations will do what the Fuehrer tells them in the end.
At the same time, Soviet Russia's acceptance of the British proposal for a four-power declaration against aggression—aimed directly at Hitler—was announced by the Soviet embassy in London.
Hungarian troops, reportedly promised a 15-mile strip of Slovakia smashed their way across the frontier and were met by a fierce counter-thruster of Slovakian troops, militia and bombing planes.
Mussolini To Go Ahead
Exchange Secret Agreements
There were indications that, despite French efforts to negotiate a peaceful Mediterranean settlement with Italy, the Nazi Fucher had given Fascist Premier Bennito Mussolini the sign to go ahead with his campaign for greater colonial power with Africa at the expense of Paris.
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy formally opening the new 20th Century Chamber of Fases which replaces the parliamentary system in Totalitarian Rome, referred to claims against France in what appeared to be the beginning of a high pressure speech in Turkey on Friday, speech next Sunday. He also call for powerful military forces in the Fascist State.
Those developments, together with Hitler's personal message to Mussolini reportedly calling for resistance to the United Democratic front, hinted that the Nazi Fuehrer was ready to stand aside for the time being and his Roman partner to bid for profits of their totalitarian combination.
Poland was far from assured, how

Chi Omega upper classman, disgruntled because dates have not been too plentiful of light, thought a possible reason was the monopolization of telephones by freshmen. They therefore denied freshmen the use of telephones as a means of social correspondence for several days this week. Choicest of overheard conversations was that of Anne Carlisle, who in talking to Bob Brown pretened that he was a Spanish instructor. Chocier still was Anne's explanation when caught.
John Randolph Tye, big scissor and paste man from Chanute, remarked in his column of yesterday that I confine my originality to spelling. In

Dr. R. A. Schweiger, of the School of Education, with 10 members of the department of physical education will attend the state Physical Educational Conference in McPherson, this weekend.
Senate Approves Appropriation
- Passage of Bill by House Would Increase Biennium $157,841 Over Last One
Unanimously approved yesterday, the senate appropriation bill including University and the School of Medicine funds for the next two years, is scheduled to come up this afternoon for its third reading before the committee of the whole. No debate will be permitted.
Following its third reading the bill will be sent to the house Ways and Means Committee the latter part of the week, possibly Friday. According to Senator Jess Denioux, chairman of the senate Ways and Means Committee, the bill will probably go through the house unchanged.
The bill includes an appropriation of $2,188,000 for the biennium, $153,784 more than the last two years while the School of Medicine at Kansas City would receive $464,500 a decrease of $108,000.
University salaries would be in creased by the bill from $675,000 to $710,000 per year, $100,000 less than amount requested by the University.
Cartoon Display Shown at Thayer
The Albert T. Reid collection of cartoons will be on display in the basement of the Spooner - Thayer Museum until April 3. This collection, which was presented by Mr. Reid to the department of journalism in 1933, contains about 100 works by almost 60 artists. The subjects are political, comical, sports, and advertising.
Among the cartoonists are Albert T. Reid, Concordia; Russell Cole, Frankfork; Frank Moser, Marysville; and Jefferson Machamer, Belleville. Many of the political cartoons deal with the Theodore Rosevelt split and the forming of the Progressive party. Others concern the Wilson and Taft administrations and a cartoon of Landon.
There is an interesting cartoon or Glenn Cunningham when he first began running at the university with predictions of his future greatness. These montainists are represented such as McBride, Fox, Fisher, and Briggs.
Dr. R. C. Moore, professor of geology and state geologist, will read a paper before a meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists which is being held in Oklahoma City.

State Proposal Will Open Dyche Next Year
★ Legislative Allotment Provides Funds to Restort Museum to at Least Partial Completion
The $7,000 proposed by the state legislature for Dyche Museum at the University will be the key that will determine the campus's future to the public within the next year.
During the year 1939-40 $27,000 is to be spent for restoring the physical plant as far as possible. The other $10,000 is proposed for the next year and will be used to restore the exhibits in the museum.
Some of the exhibits are hoped to be restored in the immediate future by the budget committee of the University. The committee is going to albeit some of the University's general funds for the project.
The entire museum will not be opened to the public for six or seven years. Hundreds of the skins are still in preserving solutions and will have to be carefully mounted; many of the skeletons will have to be collected and erected; such exotic animals that survive the horse, will have to be cleaned and repaired; and the backgrounds have to be rebuilt and painted.
The completed exhibits will portray wild life of this section of the country, as well as scores of inter-species interactions from many parts of the world.
The exhibits have been kept from the public since December, 1932, when it was condemned by the Board of Regents as being dangerously unsafe. When it is opened it will bring to the public a great deal of education and information, which has been locked up for so long.
Lawrence to Name New School Superintendent
Important steps toward the naming of a new Lawrence superintendent of schools were being made through Tuesday of next week.
During this time four invited superintendents of schools in other Kansas communities will inspect the local school system and be interviewed by the board of education. The committee will consider others but members of the board will call on likely candidates in their home towns for interviews with acquaintances of the candidates.
University Grad Will Direct Doane Choir in Concert
Charles I. Sager, a graduate of the University, and now a professor in Doane College, Crette, Neb. will conduct the Doane A Capella choir in a concert to be given in the Lawnshire Plymouth Congregational church on the evening of March 26.
Professor Sager graduated from the University with a B. M. degree in 1936.
The choir of fifty voices will include both sacred and secular music in the concert which will begin at 7:30.
Flier Out of Air Because Girl Friend Goes up in Air
However, she did not like the idea of his flying around up in the air with only an airplane under him where he could out-of-the-air-yum-sweet" attitude.
After a series of thorough tests during the past six months the Geological Survey laboratories at the University have shown that a white chalky rocks found in western Kan- tania are suitable for drylime use for building purposes.
Because it sets more slowly than Portland cement, it allows cracks to "heal" when adjustments to structure occur after construction. It is used to produce commercially since it requires less heat in preparation.
This new material is pure white in color, which is its chief advantage for use in architecture. It is capable of setting under water, and plastering or stuccoing over it adds to the cement's strength.
Upon completion of his second flight lesson at the airport, the young would-be aviator wrote his girl friend a letter telling her how swell the flying was and how much he liked it.
Because his girl went up in the air when he did, one of the boys enrolled in the flying school is permanently grounded.
In the meantime the girl friend had calmed down and decided that if he really wanted to fly—well, that was his business and she guessed she could stand it if he could.
Tests Show White Rock Valuable For Building Use
Knowing the pressure that girl friends can apply, the flier decided that he had better drop the course. After much argument and discussion with the air officials, he finally agreed to erase from the training program.
But when the student tried to get back into the air school, he was reubenced. Somebody else had already relapsed him.
The lime is prepared by crushing the raw material to a powder and burning it at a temperature of 1000 degrees centigrade, or 500 degrees lower than that required for white lime. It is then slashed with water and then to pass through a very fine screen after which it is ready for use.
So one student would still be in the air school if he hadn't had a flighty girl friend.
Grant Received For Aeronautics
National Advisory Committee Allows $600 to Carry on Research Work
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics at Washington, D.C., which operates a testing laboratory at Langley Field in Virginia, announced today a grant of $600 to the University to carry on aeronautical research with autogyro rotors.
At present one senior and two graduate students are working on aeronautical problems. They are Kenneth Razak, a senior in Aeronautical engineering and one who worked with Gustafson and Hayes; Richard King, who graduated in aeronautical engineering at Iowa State College in 1933; and John Skop, a graduate of New York City University in aeronautical engineering.
The grant was made on the basis of previous research done here by Russell Hayes of Baldwin and Fredrick Gustafson of Kansas City, Mo. Hayes, although not a graduate in engineering, took an active interest in teaching and performing experiments and, with Gustafson, performed more than 2,400 tests in the University's wind tunnel. Gustafson received his master's degree last June, and the subject matter for his thesis was gathered from his research work. Gustafson went to Washington to apply for the grant from the University of Texas testing laboratories at Lanygle Field. It was mainly through the efforts and work of Gustafson and Hayes that the grant was made.
At present large quantities are imported from Europe each year. On account of its comparative scarcity, white hydraulic lime commands a premium price on the market. It is often tainted in Kansas or adjoining states.
The problem they are working on now is "The Study of the Scale Effect of Autoglypt Rotors."
The largest of the deposits is on the Marshall ranch in northeastern Wallace county where it is estimated a supply of over one million tons is available. Diatomaceous marl is a pure white chalky rock, one-fifth silica and four-fifths calcium carbonate.
The raw material as it comes from the ground was labeled diatomaceous marl. It is a mixture of calcium carbonate and the siliceous remains of billions of minute plants, or diatoms, deposited in huge beds by the fresh water lakes that covered Wallaby Island between 5 and 30 million years ago.
The discovery and development of a use for this product is only one of the services of the Kansas Geological Survey, which is constantly making researches into the industrial resources of the state.
Congress Nears Completion of Defense Bill
- To Consider President's Proposed 'Short of War' Program for Use Against Aggressors
Washington, March 23 — (UP) — Congress today neared completion of President Roosevelt's national defense program and was ready to turn its attention to the "methods" proposed by the president to use against aggressors.
Spurred by events in Europe, the House yesterday voted a $180,000,000 deficiency bill which carried $125-000,000 for defense and then without debate approved and sent to the White House an emergency defense bill authorizing an increase in army air power to 60,000 planes.
the $38,000,000 defense bill was expected to be signed quickly by the President. Besides authorizing new planes, it strengthens Panamah Camera Corps and equips all of the army and equips it with additional supplies of war materials.
The chief of the "methods short of war" will be provided when and if congress revises the neutrality act as proposed in several measures. Mr. Bush has called on Key Pittman, (D., New) of the senate foreign relations committee.
Pittman's measure would permit sales of munitions to belligerents on a cash-and-carry basis. He claims it would aid Great Britain and France in a possible war with Germany and Italy.
Another of the "short of war" proposals — A bill to permit Latin American republics to purchase warships and other war equipment here at the cheapest possible cost— was under consideration by the senate foreign relations committee. High officials of the state, war and
navy departments testified that enactment of the measure was essential to Pen-American solidarity.
Still pending in the senate are three major house-approved bills The $500,000,000 war department appropriations measure the $250,000,000 bill and the second deficiency bill passed by the house yesterday.
