Ambassador Warns Against Arms Race
Kennedy Makes Appeal To Democracies and Dictatorships in Address In London
London, Oct. 20. (Thursday)—(UP) *Ambassador Joseph Kennedy* in a speech tonight warned of a "major disaster" which may engulf the entire world if its arms race continues. He appealed to the dictatorships and the democracies to cooperate in salvaging world-wide friendship.
Kennedy said the recent European crisis "undoubtedly will stimulate the already frozen race for arms" and that considering the narrow margin between Russia and India it is hard to quarrel with the decision of any nation $ ^{1} $
He said that the United States in building up its navy has "ignored the possibility that our vessels could be used for the vesselous ivory vessels" and hastened to add:
The first foreign ambassador even invited to address the navy league dinner, Kennedy paid eloquent tribute to Prime Minister Neville Cheney on behalf of peace" during the German-C-"sch crisis.
"This is not an alliance in any sense of the word, not even a negative alliance, it is just common sense."
As former chairman of the United States Maritime commission he also defended the United States merchant marine subsidies which have been attacked bitterly by British shipping interests.
Kennedy who spoke before the annual Trafalgar day dinner of the navy league said that the totalitarian powers and the democracies "must live together in the same world whether we like it or not". He told reporters in 1963, taking their differences grow into unrelenting antacidism.
with the decision of any nation to build up its military forces."
"In fact" he said, "we can only
add such action on the part
of those sincerely committed to a
policy of peace.
"Nevertheless the **armaments** burden is approaching a point where it seems to me it threatens sooner than to cugl us in a all major disaster."

Nothing so impresses me with my own inabilities as watching the Hill's number one jitterbugs, Mary Isahel Taylor and Harold Hight, swing out at a variesy. By the time I had learned how to truck the Big Apple took its place on a shelf along with the minuet and the polka.
This year I've stuck loyalty to my old "one-two-top" step and wished untimely for the good old days when everybody was doing it. Now it looks like I must learn to waltz or stay away from the dance.
Wayne (Gus) Nees scattered the whole Sig Ep pledge class all over the West Hills and brought the police and fire department to the scene in practically no time Tuesday evening. At the dinner room, the gang eventually unbalanced when he heaved a plate at Roger Weltmier.
And it's all because of the "Bring Back the Waltz" craze that's sweeping the country better than could a library janitor. A call has been sent out for waltzes of the modern school, so on the evening of Nov. 10 I'll sit sheepsheep in the parlor and watch some University couple on the stage start dancing their way to fame end and a movie contract with M.G.M.

Professor A c c u s e d of Furnishing Ammunition For Ratner Campaign
Dr. H. F. Guild, chairman of the department of political science, has recently become the storm center of a major political battle. As director of the state research department of the legislative council, he held a pamphlet on the controversial matter of sales tax, which met the disapproval of many politicians.
In an effort to avoid the charge of "playing politics" by giving his information only to the few men who asked for it, he made public a factual statement concerning the exemption of sales tax from food-stuffs and the use of tax tokens in other states.
But Payne H. Ratner, Republican nominee for governor, is leading a drive to eliminate the sales tax on food, and to do away with the use of tokens. Guild is now accused of stealing publicity with campaign ammunition.
In the report that he and his assistants compiled, the University professor dealt with the 23 states that use tax systems but, as he announced in the foreword, "No attempt is made to analyze the experience of the states in these researches."

Expressing somewhat the same opinion, Dr. R. C. Moore, professor in the geology department, adds that there is no part of the cost of producing greater than the drilling of the wells. It costs from $20,000 to $50,000 to drill one well with a hole of 18 cm that not only realize more profit from greater production, but they will also find their field costs greatly reduced.
