Planes Carry Death and Destruction to Spanish Cities in Raids Lasting Full Day
Hendaye, French-Spanish Frontier, Jan. 24. —(UPI) -Nationalist and Loyalist airplanes and warships carried terror and death to Spanish cities and villages in a series of rates which lasted from dawn to dark yesterday, dispatches to the frontier showed today.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1938
There was no means of obtaining an authentic total estimate of the men, women, and children killed in the attack. The new program of merciless raids.
Loyalists asserted that in their first "eye for an eye" raid on Salamanca Friday they destroyed the general headquarters of the German militaries, and killed several members of the German general staff.
Nationalists bombarded Valencia, Barcelona, Puigcerda, Seo D'Urgell, Port Rosas, and Figueras. Several bombs dropped by the Puigcerda raiders fell in French territory and caused French authorities to wire urgently to Paris for anti-aircraft guns and airplanes.
It was believed more than thirty persons were killed at Puigcerda that many were killed at Seo D'Urgelt. Twelve were reported killed at Port Rosas, and 14 killed and 50 wounded at Figueras.
Loyalists, in retaliation for the Puigcerda raid sent 12 bombers to drop five tons of bombs on Seville and gave major headquarters for southern Spain.
Gen. Gonzalo Queipo De Llano,
Nationalist commander-in-chief in the
South, asserted that 11 children,
10 men, and 3 women were killed in
the sole Loyalist raid that on Se-
cure and that there was material damage.
A dispatch from the Spanish Loyalist, press agency from Gibraltar, picked up in London, alleged that an explosion shook Nationalist Alceiras, and that the frontier from Gibraltar, and that afterward a great munitions dump, consisting of brought fire, was seen to the Spanish Loyalists quoted an allegation that a number of troops were arrested at Alceiras.
No Estimate of Damage
Started Before Dawn
Yesterday's bombing started before dawn when the air alarm was sounded at Barcelona, and anti-aircraft batteries opened up on a fleet of nationalist airplanes which the beams of big seas seemed to have seemed too strong for the raiders, and no casualties were reported.
Ten bombs landed in France, it was asserted, and civilians and French frontier guards had marrow stained by a bullet that struck a mobile phone guard shelter.
The most dramatic raid of the day was that on Puigcerda, just across the frontier from French Bourg-Madame. One bomb struck the railroad station and killed many people in the station restaurant, the United Press Perpignan correspondent reported.
Because of the danger to French people the prefect of the Pyrenees Orientales department telegraphed to Paris urging immediate organization of defenses along the coast with airplanes, anti-aircraft, anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns fired on the Puigcerda raiders yesterday, but without effect.
There was a full in fighting at Teruel, after days of ferocious clashes in which the Nationalists admittedly made gains of some importance on the city's north side.

Diamond Anniversary In 1941
Committee in C h a r e g
Decides T o Hold No
Formal Programs Before Next Fall
Plans for the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the University are underway, and the committee in charge of the event, which will be held in the fall of 1941, is planning that the invitation shall be of a callersuited to the history of the institution.
The committee, in its meeting yesterday afternoon, decided that no formal programs of any sort will be given before next fall, when the seventy-fifth anniversary of the proclamation of Governor Carney specifying the location of the state University, will be reached.
The committee's discussion indicated that it believes that there are several occasions in the University's history which might be worthy of notice before the fall of 1941, but the selection of dates for the commemoration of these dates will be deferred until the exact nature of the anniversary celebration has been determined.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary and member of the committee, was requested to obtain information on a recent celebration at the University of Michigan, which he is to visit shortly. Other members of the conference also attended the centennial celebrations elsewhere were also asked to obtain what information they could on the organization of such celebrations.
Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the anniversary committee, was authorized at the meeting to appoint a committee of four to present preliminary outlines for a celebration. The committee was not instructed as to the nature of the report it should make, but a desire was indicated that the committee would be the achievements of the University in its three-quarters of a century of existence, and that recognition should be shown of the responsibility placed by the state on it as an educational institution.

California Woman Can't Stop Sneezing
Oakland, Calif., Jan. 24—(UP)Every 20 seconds her Bett Grosse sneezes. At the end of every three minutes her ear whistles. The whistle lasts 10 seconds. Then she sneezes again.
She has been in the Alameda county hospital since last Wednesday and the physicians who gather to watch to listen are baffled.
Mrs. Grose is an attractive red-haired woman, 24 years old. She was married at the age 14, and has five children, who are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 years old.
An indication of Claus's character is found in his answer to the query, "What was your first impression of America?" Instead of the expected stereotyped answer, "Just fine," he explained that he overwhelmed. He finds the progressive spirit of America reflected in the skyscrapers of New York.
The only relief she has had in six days has been when doctors gave her sedatives. As soon as the affects were gone, we wear off she, begin sneezing again.

It if weren't for Shiller Schott cluttering up Potter's lake with his game warden's equipment, the University would have a perfectly satisfied German exchange with his highly disjointed purpose that he has no place to pursue his hobby, sailing.
Hal Surface, Kansas City tennis star, has practiced on the University courts several times in the past few weeks. Surface is a prospect for the United States Davis Cup team next year.
Before he left Germany, Claus's mother was anxious about his departure to American "Wild West." In New York he was informed that he was going to a flat, desolate country. So prepared for the worst, Claus says he was pleasantly disappointed upon his arrival at Mt. Oread.
made. Requirements include scholastic rating, writing of a life story, and passing of an examination on the English language.
After these requirements are met they must be passed on by the German Academic Exchange Service, then sent to the Institute of International Education in New York, and finally approved by the University.
Prior to admission to the University, Claus Holthusen completed eight years of secondary education, secured a master's degree in law in the University of Hamburg, and attended the London School of Economics and Political Science. In addition to his education at the German Law Service and two years in the German army. His work here at the University consists of economics, law and political science.

Recalls Scientific Feat
The Kansas City Star, in an editorial, recalls the remarkable scientific feat of Dr. Marshall A. Barber a graduate of the University in 1891 and a former member of the faculty here.
The accomplishment, as related to the Star's writer by Dr. Victor Heiser, author of "An American Doctor's Odyssey," astonished noted men of science in Europe. In his laboratory here in Lawrence, Doctor Barber discovered that he could separate single bacteria. When mention of the fact was made in a medical journal, the famous German, Dr Robert Koch, refused to believe the story, putting it down as "American bragging."
Prof. Olin Templin, of the department of philosophy, recalls Doctor Barber and his unsassuming ways. The separation of a bacterium from a culture was by means of a pipette which Doctor Barber had made for himself in the laboratory. Doctor Koch was at a medical meeting in 1950. Doctor Barber was called from Lawrences and demonstrated his device.
Doctor Barber received his A.B. from the University in 1891. He then went to Harvard, and received his M.A. there in 1894. He retrained to Kansas, and became an assistant in the department of botany at the University. Later he became an associate professor, and in 1906 was made professor of bacteriology and pathology and director of clinical laboratories at the University of Kansas hospitals.
After leaving the University, Doctor Barber received experience in work with the international health board for the Federated States of the United States at the hospital at Camp Jackson, S.C., during the World war.
