Spanish Insurgents March Into Streets of Barcelona
General Franco Waits Overnight To Take City
- Loyalists, Fearing Firing Squad, Mobilize For Last Stand, According to Dispatches from Front
Pertigan, Franco Spanish frontier, Jan. 24-(1)—General Francisco Franco's insurgents tonight marched into the streets of Barcelona, but delivered to their triumphal encounter at the headquarters of the Loyalia capital until after daylight.
The Insurgents also feared that Loyalists' extremists might have mined the brook bout墅 lead-ers in a street where most of Smith's moulten prepper city.
The city was in darkness lighted only by fire by insurgents. France apparently feared dangers barking along the already barricaded backyard.
Catalonia syndicalists and anarchists, realizing that they faced a quick death before firing squads is captured by the Inurgents, mobilized for a last stand in the streets Barcelona dispatches said.
Franco's Lerida base announced shortly before midnight that feuded Moors under General Juan Yangu had stormed into the city from the south after capturing the airport well as part of de Llibretant airport
Insurgents Fear Mines
NUMBER 81
White flags of surrender flew from the house tops of Hospitalet and Casa Antunes as Yague's Moors drove through them and across the river amid virtually no resistance. Insurgent dispatches said.
Are Sending Food
Franco depended on his fifth column within Barcelona—the secret sympathizers and spies—tiir stur adjugation for the city just as they did in the conquest of San Sebastian, Vilbao, Malada, and other towns.
Within 24 hours, the Inurgents jubilantly proclaimed, Barcelona will be the temporary capital of Insurgent Spain—arrangements were complete for transfer of the ministries from Burgos and hungary to Madrid across the streets with tons of foodstuffs for the city's two million famished people.
Swarms of Inurgent planes circled the city saying "all those who are not criminals have nothing to fear—food is arriving for you."
Although France's Moroccan were in the vanguard of the smashing drive into Barcelona's streets it was indicated that they would be held back and that General Juan Solchaga's red-capped Navarrese would lead the triumphal entry. Localists Hate Moors
BARCELONA's gates opened to the Inurgents after a day of swift encircling operations that included Manvers Torraza, and Martorell—and collage of the monument's last line outside the capital along the Lebrengent river.
Franco, it was said, realizes that the Moors would create an unfavorable impression at a time when he is desirous of quickly pacifying Barcelona's population. The Loyalist's hatred of the Moors, who are among the fiercest defenders of the city, only by their bitterness toward his Italian black-shirts.
The Legulist had counted upon the Lobregat to serve as a must-hold off the invaders but six cisles on the coast, a river and closed in on the Capitol.
ON THE SHIN by jimmy robertson
by jimmy robertson
Ho hum and a couple of lackadays. This is just one of those times in the life of a columnist when people apparently do nothing worth writing about just to be mean, and a few sheets of copy paper look as long as the Lincoln highway. The only thing I've heard all day that bears repeating is the result of a little loss on page 2.

Alumni Will Help Choose Successor To Chancellor
Alumni of the University may have something to say about the type of man chosen to succeed Chancellor Lindley if they answer questionnaires sent them by the alumni of fice.
The questionnaire has been approved by the Board of Regents and does not attempt to obtain names. When returned it should cast some light upon the sort of person graduated in that position, should like to see in the position.
Material regarding the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the University has also been mailed to alumni members, Fred Ewellsworth, alumni secretary, said. The material contains announcements of the proposed printing of an alumni directory a new history of the University, a revised University almanac, and a book of Campus views.
Included are questions which ask what alumni consider the age of the new chancellor should be; whether he should be a Kansas or an outsider; liberal or conservative; academic or the business man type; and whether he must have a Ph.D. degree.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 24—(UP) The fastest speed ever traveled by man was claimed tonight for Lloyd Child, chief test pilot for the Curtis-Wright airplane factory in a power dive in which his maximum speed was estimated at more than 600 miles an hour.
Child flew a Curtis Hawk pursuit plane testing it for acceptance by the U. S. army and the record of the dive shown on a graff chart was 575 miles an hour but the imposition moved off the paper at that point.
The dive was made from a 22,000 foot altitude and the plane reached its maximum speed after diving about 9,000 feet.
The former speed record was made by Vance Bresse at Los Angeles when he attained a speed of 475 km/h (296 mph) in 16,000 feet dive three years ago.

Make Changes In Curriculum Next Semester
Several departments and schools of the University are offering a number of new courses for the spring semester. The Medical, Engineering, and Pharmacy schools have offered their former curriculum with no additions.
Wealth Bar to Education
In the School of Business, "Sales Promotion" and "Economic Systems," two courses open to juniors and seniors carrying two hour credit, each, are being offered for the first time. Another new course, Business Reports, has been withdrawn by the school.
Neufeld's only brother, a 17-year-old college student, fought against the Bolshevists. He was imprisoned, and at the age of 20, executed. Oliga, a sister, was forced to flee from home into hiding because she was accused of being the leader of a secret society planning to free several prisoners, one of whom was her brother.
★ Most Schools Adding O
Omitting Courses; Medicine, Pharmacy and Engineering Unchanged
The College reports one newly instituted course. "Great English Writers," listed in the Bulletin as "English Literary Masters," will be offered by the department of English. This course is designed for juniors and seniors whose major interests lie in fields other than English. The course will be intended to such students with some of the important poetry and prose of England, and to stimulate them to further reading.
Since most of the courses for graduate students are in the various schools of the University, the new course should be given to each individual school's schedule.
The School of Education is offering three new courses for the spring semester. "Elementary School Playground Activities" is a three hour course taught by Professor Stapleton, and open to both men and women. "Special Problems in Physical Education" is either a two or a four hour course which gives credit only in the Graduate School. "Track and Field" is a professional credit course open to men only.
The School of Law curriculum includes two new courses: "Government and Business," two hours and "Taxation II," two hours credit.
Neufold attended a private elementary school and then received the equivalent of a high school education from a tutor. He learned to read and write three languages and to speak five.

By Eldon Corkill, c'41
As one who was twice sentenced to death and several times severely beaten by soldiers of the Russian revolution following the World War George Neufeld, gr, is happy to be alive.
Saved From Firing Squad
Born in 1907 near the Azor省 in southern Russia, George spent his youth in a country torn by warring factions. At the age of 12 he was forced to serve in opposing armies as a teamster. As first one side and then the other would get involved in fighting boys who lived in that section of the country were forced to help the dominating army.
Many of Neufeld's friends and relatives who have remained in Russia have been executed or exiled. In all, 16 members of the clan were stood against a brick wall and shot, while some 20 killed in coal in the Ural mountains, where the Soviet Union possesses great natural resources.
The ex-Russian studied in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Michigan beore coming to the University of Kansas to do graduate work in modern European history. He plans to teach European history or international relations at some American college.
Neufeld was denied the privilege of attending a Russian University because he was a member of a prosperous family. To further his education and to escape from the economic and political pressure of post-war Russia, Neufeld decided to leave his native country and moved seven months he systematically bribed low and high government officials so that he could get the necessary documents to come to America.

Kline Developing Into Great Defensive Guard
Kohn Kline, tall, rangy, guard is turning out to be one of the best defense men on the squad and is becoming one of the mainstays of the Jahyawkers. Johnny is a new find in the way of defense men and has been in the starting line-up for the last three games.
Kilne, a sophomore, hails from Hutchinson, where he played a great deal of basketball and football. Johnny is 6 feet 3 inches tall and is one of the assets to the team because he has been a big rebounder. He started playing basketball with a church team in grade school in Hutchinson.
While in junior high school, there were no teams so he went to the gym and practiced with the sophomore high school team. Here he received his competitive experience up to the varsity squad. The tall guard was one of the sparkplugs of the high school team and at the end of the year was elected captain. That same year, the Hutchinson team went
In 1936, the following year, this ruddy-complexioned lad again captained a good high school team, and was rated one of the best defensive guards in the conference. The record books show that Johnny was chosen on the all-state basketball team in 1935, when he was a junior.
Basketball was not the only sport in which Kline excelled. He was a tall, pass receiver on the football team at Hutchinson. Johnny played in both football and were elected a co-captain of the all-Akron Valley team.
Kline when he is not practicing free throws, is working in the towel room or helping Dr. Allen with the freshman team. Phog has told Johnny to put in plenty of practice on free throws, because a tall guard has a good many fouls made against him.
Kline has two more years of eligibility at Kansas and Phog Allen expects him to be one of the outstanders
