Billy, Pet Deer,
Goes After Mail
For Texas Home
Weimar, Tex. — (UP) — Billy, a three-point deer, carries the mail for Oscar Kohliffel. Weimar, farmer.
But his job—or even keeping alive —is extremely difficult for Billy during winter months when deer hunters roam.
Kohlfeil has taught the deer during the past 18 months to trok daily to his rural mail box to meet the deer and then take Kohlfeil's mail to his home.
The farmer found the deer lying helpless beside its dead mother two years ago. Hunters had killed the deer, which has been detected has been the Kohlheff family set.
A year ago—although wearing a cowbell around his neck, Billy met a hunter and was wounded in the neck. During the past deer hunting season, a bullet broke Billy's leg.
Nowadays, Billy stays close to the Kohleffel home.

Anti-Nazi Trial Of Rev. Niemoeller Ends
Berlin, March 2.—(UP) -The Rev Martin尼iemien, militant anti-Nazi protestist pastor, whose secret trial before a Nazi court ended today, has been delivered into the hands of the security police, it was announced tonight from the pulpit of his aristocratic Dahlem Church.
There were rumors he was preparing to leave Berlin on a "vacation."
It had been reported that the gaunt-faced pastor, although sentenced to seven months imprisonment in a fortress for "endangering public peace," had been set free after three weeks of supposed secret arrest. The church has been held for eight months in a coil in Berlin's Mosibir prison.

Fresno, Calif., March 2. —(UP)— Searchers tonight pushed a hunt by air and land in the Shaver lake area of the Sierra Nevada where it was believed a Transcontinental and Western Air transport plane came down last night with nine persons aboard during a storm.
Push Hunt For Air Liner
Three army planes made a survey flight over the section, 40 miles northeast of Frecon, while ground parties plodded through deep snow in the mountains, but the search was hampered by adverse weather.
The search shifted toward the Shaver lake area after workers in a road maintenance crew reported

One of Soviet's Greatest Diplomats Is Facing Possibility of Firing Squad
Moscow, March 2. — (UF) — A trembling old man, in former years one of Soviet Russia's greatest diplomats, stood alone today among 21 Bolshevist leaders, on trial for treason, and turned upon his accusers in a desperate attempt to escape the spy's death before a fierer sound.
The denial of Nicholas Kreintszky, for nine years Russia's ambassador to Germany, that he was a traitor was almost unprecedented in the drama of dictator Joseph V. Stalin's terrible three-year purge that has claimed more than fifteen hundred lives.
The others on trial with him—men whose names are famous—all made the case for their charges ranging through murder, revolt, sabotage, and espionage.
Two of Krestin's companions in the prisoner's box, Nicholas Grinko and S. A. Bessonov, said, "yes, he is when Vikhonis barked at them a question whether Krestin was an explorer of the exiled Leon Trotsky.
It was taken for granted that Krestinsky would die before a firing squad—probably within 72 hours af- ral, and the trial—along with all the 21 others.
They showed at little pity for the
white-haired and stooped Krestinsky as did prosecutor Andrew Vishinsky.
In the audience sat U. S. ambassador, Joseph E. Davies, personal friend of Krestnskyi for years.
Davies wore a serious expression as he watched the man whom he and Mrs. Davies had frequently entertained.
Stokowski, Garbo
Hide Romance
In Guarded Villa
Ravello, Italy, March 2—(UP) —Greta Grabro and Leopold Stokowski hid the secret of their romance—if any—with in the cloistered walls of an old villa tonight while police doga and village constables warded off a room which wanted to know whether they were married or "just good friends."
Today, for the first time in the week they have been here, the two renounced their regular afternoon visit to the Hotel Caruso for tea, apparently because of the influx of film fans.
Their lunchheats at the hotel consisted chiefly of vegetables, including lettuce, beets and carrots.
"He certainly must love her to eat all that stuff," one of the hotel waiters remarked. "Before she came, he could eat plenty of meat and spaghetti."
Jayhawkers Must Win Or Share Conference Title
This was the first day since Miss Garbo arrived a week ago that they did not leave the little Villa Cambrone, where Richard Wagner wrote "Parsifal," more than a half century ago.
Los Angeles, March 2.—(UP)—This city prepared for a major flood disaster tonight when torrential rains caused at least six deaths and property damage estimated as high as five million dollars.
Floods Endanger Los Angeles
A flood poured through the city's streets. Ten inches of rain had fallen in four days—almost half of it today—and more was predicted.
Five thousand or more were homeless or marooned in flood-bound homes, and additional hundreds are at risk of possibility of flood dams giving way.
Rain still was falling when Mayor Frank L. Shaw ordered the city's major disaster emergency relief council to co-ordinate relief efforts and Chairman Roger W. Jessup of the county supervisor's office mobilized the county's council to assist in the work.
All women interested in running for W.S.G.A. offices should interview the nominating committee in the Pine room either tonight at 7 o'clock or Saturday afternoon at 2:30.

Missouri Tigers Play Here Tonight In Attempt To Avenge 37-32 Loss Suffered at Columbia
By Harry 'Scoop' Hill, c'40
At approximately 9 o'clock tonight, the Big Six basketball title will be either "disputed" or "undisputed."
For at that time the final gun will have sounded on the Kansas-Missouri game, and either the Jayhawkers will be sleeping alone in the championship bed, or they will be sharing their roost with the Oklahoma Sooners.
Chances are that the victory snores will not be a duet. Badly as the Tigers would like to slip Oklahoma between the blankets on which Kansas has paid all but the final installment, the odds
Wygal Speaks To Y.W.C.A.
'Religion or God' Topic Of Luncheon Address Bu Religious Leader
Miss Winifred Wygal, secretary for the program on religion for the National W.C.A. will speak at two luncheon forums in the Memorial Hall from 12:30 to 12:50 to today and tomorrow. Her subject is "Religion or God."
Miss Wygal has been interested in the interpretation of religion $ \nu $
young women in student groups of the Y.W.C.A. for many years.
Miss Wylg is a graduate of Drury College and now is a member of the board of trustees of that institution. She has done graduate work at Columbia University and Union Seminary. She has studied extensively with Dr. H. B. Sharman of the Pendle Hill Quaker Center and with Canon Streeter at Oxford University.
Before joining the national staff of the Y.W.C.A. in 1922, Miss Wygart taught five years. She spent five years as resident secretary at the Y.W.C.A., and then was gaged in association war work for a period of two years at Camp Fulton.
Miss Wygliw will meet us at W.C.A. Cabinet at 4:30 to talk and work with students at 7:30 this evening. She will speak on "The Radical Jesus" in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 tomorrow.
indicate the Sooners will be crying themselves to sleep on the floor.
Kansas should win. If the same situation existed with any other Big Six team, the "should" might be changed to "will." But Tiger-Jayhawk athletic contests of the past are notorious for producing the players who should not have happened. Experts believe it unfortunately when one team has something to gain by a victory. And surely Kansas will find it more advantageous to win.
Rivalry Dates Back to War
If Kansas can turn back the Tigers, the title will be their undisputed. Should Missouri win, it will be definitely a disputed championship. For the Joy Hawks and the Sooners they are locked in the two-game series, in each case the victory margin being three points.
Because of the bitter inter-school rivalry, anything is liable to happen. This rivalry dates back to Civil War days, when if one lived in Missouri he learned to steal Kansas horses, and if he lived in Kansas he was taught to kidnap Missouri slaves. Since that time, the battle has been carried on, with less damage but no less spirit, on the athletic field.
Jayhawk Defensive Edge
Half a championship can not mean much more to Coach Phog Allen's team than it could to Oklahoma. Allen has consistently finished at the top of the league—13 in the past 17 years. The last Sooner title came in 1929, the first year of the present Big Six.
Tonight's game may be decided by the defensive play, for there is little difference in offensive totals. Missouri has scored 333 points in nine conference games as compared to 352 in one. Washington has a wide edge to the Jawbreakers.
The Tigers will be handicapped by the loss of Kenneth Brown, veteran center, who suffered a broken finger in the Old-homa game Monday night. Kansas chanes are the only team to win against Frei Fralle is nursing an injured elbow which may hamper his shooting.
Finale for Pralle and Schmidt
Two Jayhawkers will end their conference competition tonight. One is Fralle, who completes three years of brilliant court work with the

Harp, another sophomore, started
the season on the bench, but got his chance when Johnson injured a knee that never fully responded to treatment. Harp has developed into one of the best defensive guards in the league and cared when persuaded to shoot. He moved 4 field goals in 5 chances in the last Nebraska game.
