PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1939 Comment Laugh, Chumps, Laugh! Or the Tale of a Name Hereafter, says the Board of Regents, the Chemistry building will be designated and known as the "E. H. S. Bailey Chemical Laboratories," and to the Administration building will be given the more dignified name of "Frank Strong hall." The risibilities of the student body are easily excited, and from all parts of the Campus comes laughter, ranging from chooling chuckles to cacophonous cachinations. Let it be understood: A student going to "Bauley Lab" or to "Bauley hall" could give vent to ordinary laughter; but the student going to "H. S. Bauley Chemical Laboratories" could not possibly do less than to emit cacophonous cachions. Who could? Can anyone who knows students as a type, who realizes their preference for a "prom" to a "promenade," a "hop" to a "dance," or a "quit" to an "examination"—can he, we say, imagine a student substituting "E. H. S. Bailley Chemical Laboratories" for "Chem" of "Chemistry" building? Likewise, "Strong hall" might be fitting, but few students will bother with "Frank Strong hall." So laugh mirthfully and melodiously, students. Cacophonous cachinations may be forgotten, or saved for more hysterical occasions. And so, too, probably, will the names of—need we repeat them again? The Three Black Cats; Or Save the Canary! Political campaigns in the past have made some strange bed-fellows, but the present-critical condition of international affairs makes stranger ones. On the editorial page of the New York Post for last Monday is a Jerry Doyle cartoon depicting the three black cats of Fascism eyeing, in a possessive manner, the canary bird Democracy which Uncle Sam is jealously guarding with a new $800,000,00 defense shotgun. Ten pages forward is a news story in which Admiral William D. Leahy tells the House naval affairs committee that the new appropriation is necessary to keep Fascism off the American continents. The Post—ultra-liberal New York daily, erstwhile opponent of "capitalistic militarism," and bitter仇er of Mayor Frank "I Am the Law" Hague of Jersey City—does not like Fascism and probably does not adhere any admiral in anybody's navy. Admiral William Leahy, chief of operations of the United States navy, also does not like Fascism and has probably been conditioned not to respect greatly the opinions of New York's "red rag." But upon Roosevelt's proposed 800 million dollar navy of aggression, both are agreed. And this is the way it has always been. In times of crises, extremists of both right and left eagerly employ what seem to be the most effective means for accomplishing their ends. They do not realize that the means inevitably determine the end. The Post and Admiral Leahy seem not to realize that if this new navy is ever called into action, there may be clamped down upon America the tightest dictatorship that the twentieth century has known. European example of the current style of autocracy will fade in comparison. Uncle Sam has more to fear from the 800 million dollar shotgun which Cartoon Dale and Admiral Leahy have placed in his hands than from the Fascist cats across the fence. Radio Education For American Public The American public will be given a wide educational opportunity by a recent action of the Federal Communication Commission setting aside 25 high-frequency broadcast channels for use of non-profitable educational stations. This action by the commission is the result of a several years' campaign carried on by educators to get more recognition for education on the radio. Dr. John W. Studebaker, United States commissioner of education, said regarding such a program, "I believe that radio is destined to affect the scope and progress of education, and therefore, our national life in general, with results quite as revolutionary as those which followed the invention of the printing press." The commission has made the following specification: "These reserved airwaves shall be licensed to organized non-profitable educational agencies for the purpose of transmitting education programs directed to specific schools in the system for use in connection with the regular courses as well as for routine and administrative material pertaining to the school system." This class of stations will be authorized to transmit only educational and entertainment programs to the general public, and not sponsored commercial programs. These channels, providing adequate facilities for service to every city and town, offer education to a far larger number of persons than any other agency could do it. Radio can transmit education to every home where a receiving set is found. The potentialities of such a program are tremendous. And listening to the same program, people will be drawn closer together in their feelings, thinking and action. Is It Really Salmon— Or Japanese Herring? That the United States send a fleet of planes and bombers to destroy Japanese salmon poachers in Alaskan waters was the suggestion made by Representative Sirovich, of New York, in a house committee report this week. According to statements by various authorities, the matter is becoming one of grave concern to the people of Alaska. Norman Walker of the Alaskan senate, predicts that within five years salmon will become extinct in Alaskan waters if some immediate preventive action is not taken. Just prior to the depression, government statistics revealed a capital investment of $67,000-000 in Alaskan fisheries, with an annual take valued at $40,000,000 of which salmon furnished about four-fifths. The matter of extinction is not exaggerated. In 1925, owing to the boom given the salmon industry by the World War, the salmon were so depleted that, fearing extinction, President Coolidge instructed the secretary of commerce to take some action for their preservation. As a result, salmon fishing was entirely forbidden in some districts and was firmly restricted in all others. Since that time, poaching has been a serious problem. Legally, salmon may be taken only at spawning season when they leave the sea to spawn in the fresh water of the rivers. However, poachers outfit small craft with complete equipment for canning the catch, and remain out from port until they have caught and canned a full load. Salmon caught in salt water have never reproduced themselves. The Japanese have been consistent offenders in violation of a treaty made between their own and the U.S. governments. Hence all the bitterness of Representative Siriovich. However, his plan of plane patrol of the waters in question is not new in any respect save that it is aimed solely at the Japanese. A similar suggestion of law enforcement was made more than a year ago. But since Alaskan poaching, though not as great as Japanese, is quite prevalent, the plan was aimed at all poaching in Alaskan waters. It would seem, then, that the representative is gunning for Japan rather than for poachers.

Japanese Soldier Asks Reporter To Get Both Sides in Chinese War Editor's Note: These random notes from the front lines in China were written by Jack Belden, United Press Staff Carrie more than 10,000 miles in covering various war fronts. (Copyright 1938, by United Press) Hankow—By-Mail "Foreign reporters always go to the Chinese, never come to the Japanese." It was the Japanese infant caption speaking to me. "They should listen to both sides of the question." he continued. "We do not want to fight," the captain said. "The Chinese started this when they fired upon us." Another bit of conversation, this time with a Chinese army captain, ensued after I asked him how he liked being a soldier. Soldier Never Sees Wife “Well, what’s the use of pretending,” he said. “It’s not so good, but then it’s not so bad either. But I don’t get much chance for reading or studying. Before I was a soldier I knew some English, but I’ve never had any trouble with it. So see my wife at all. There’s no sense in a soldier being married.” A street scene in war: Fifty bodies were lying in a heap under a straw matting. Two soldiers would go out and pick one out and lay it in the middle of the road. Then some one would come out of a small room to see how the man's paper with the man's name on it. This was placed across the man's chest and his picture taken. The Dead Were Their Friends I didn't think Chinese soldiers in went for that kind of sentiment. I asked some soldiers standing near by if they really knew the names of the dead or was some fictitious name put on the little slip of paper. "They were our friends," was the answer. "How could we help but know their names?" Chinese Can't Work, Can't Eat A scene in the open field: Walking under the blazing sun through fields for an hour, finally I came upon two Chinese working men sitting on a rock under a piece of matting slung upon a stick. "Come and sit down." They offered me a dirty cup of water. "Come and sit down," they said. "It's cool under here." "Have you seen any Japanese?" I asked. I was trying to get through a few words after a particularly heavy bombardment. Pan, the manager, under a table, his at face twitching. "No. They were striking at each other for two days. Today there was no firing so we came back. Tell your country to make them stop fighting. We can't work. We can't eat." "I won't send any more messages tonight," he said. "It's too dangerous." I wasn't going to lose without an argument. "You are a telegraph operator, you must. Your country will be proud Scene at a telegraph office: Then I reached under the table and grabbed his long gown. "I resign. I'm going home," Pan whimpered. "Come," I said, "the firing has ceased. Confessions he has said: "To know is easy, to do is hard." It is easy to know that you and I are afraid. We must know that world know we are afraid. We must do something about it." Just gibberish, but I could think of nothing else to say. But it had it's effect. "All right," said Pan, "I'll send 10 words."

Went, Kansas state livestock stock commissioner, said today, a special investigation is at work now on ratting cages in western and southwestern Kansas and a report probably will be made soon. West said the cattle thefts are increasing in their frequency and that the rousing gangs apparently are well organized. Thefts Are Increasing "They probably co-operate closely with owners of butcher shops who are in with the gang," West said. "Operating as they do, in most cases under cover of night, and using hushes or guards to prevent any difficult to frustrate their raids." Stockmen Organize Vigilantcs Words of warning have gone out over the state to Kaiser stock owners to use care in attempting to guard their heads.

Farmer Flips Pair Of Pruning Shears; Brings Down Plane Hugson, Cal., Feb. 2—(UP)—Harvey Kingley believes he is the only man in the world who ever brought an airplane down with a pair of shears—even if it was acid-dental. Kingery was working in a field at pruning, when Clarence Nelson, student pilot, came roaring along in a two-plane passenger plane about 58 feet. Geologist Explains Sleet Usually Is Only Glaze In a spirit of fun, Kiaqeng threw his pruning shears into the air only to be amazed at seeing the plane fly in a plowed field in a half mule away. The plane was traveling at a speed of 100 miles an hour when Kingery's pruning shears struck it. The shears had struck the rear spar of the plane's left wing, damaging an allergen and making a forced landing necessary. True sleet, Young said, falls from above as rain that has turned to ice, although a mixture of falling ice and rain ordinarily gains this designation. But when rain is still rain when it reaches the earth and then freezes immediately upon coming in contact with objects having a temperature below freezing, it is glaze, Young said. Lexington, Ky.
