$10,000,000 Worth Of Lawlessness—Industry
Hard on the heels of one of industry's most turbulent years comes the report on strike-breaking activity, by the Senate Civil Liberties Committee. From nine volumes of sworn testimony this committee, headed by Senator Robert M. LaFollete of Wisconsin, listed some 2,500 United States firms which have spent more than $10,000,000 for the hire of labor spies, and the purchase of firearms, ammunition and tear gas equipment. One of the heaviest spenders, General Motors, paid slightly less than $1,000,000 for spy service in 1937. "The list, as a whole," the report observed, "reads like a blue book of American industry."
The job of the industrial spy is not only to gain the confidence of the employees and to learn what action they are contemplating, but to work within the union and swipe it to violent and abortive practices—thus not only weakening the union but also making a ready market for their kind to combat "union violence." In turn the company attempts to identify the entire union with these acts of violence, usually done by men of its own hire, and loudly appeals to the public to censor all unions as being made up of reds, radicals and revolutionists.
In the words of the report itself, "The public cannot afford to let this challenge presented by industrial espionage go unnoticed. Through it private corporations dominate their employees, deny them their constitutional rights, promote disorder and disharmony and even set at naught the powers of the government itself."
"Belgrade, Jugoslavia—Mickey Mouse was absent from the newspaper Politika for the second time today. Authorities ordered the strip banned. They charged that the issue for Nov. 30 was 'anti-monarchist' and 'rebellious'.
The eternal fear of the elephant for the mouse.
Questions For Congressmen
All the etherical and drab arguments lauding the defeat of the Ludlow referendum bill bring to mind a few questions which might well be asked of the intensely patriotic politicians who are still justifying the defeat of the bill.
One recalls the days of the World War. Congress voted to declare war—and was presumably supported by the general public in its declaration. But did the men who went overseas do so voluntarily or were they drafted? Records show the number of volunteers to be comparatively few. Just how general, then, was the public support of Congress?
The question, then, in light of the fact that no one wants war, is whether the people or Congress would be the more stable body in the event of a war scare. Past records show that both the electorate and their representatives are peculiarly vulnerable to propaganda and false nationalism—perhaps it is education against both these menaces that the country really needs to prevent war.
Woodring in his condemnation of the Ludlow proposal stressed the "inability" of Congress to act other than as public feeling directs. Members of Congress are in no danger of having to take up arms in a war. Is it fitting, then, that they should be the sole determining agency in an action affecting the lives—and deaths—of millions of young men?

'A' Stands For Apple-Polish
If you're one of those typical Jayhawkers who wonder just what the tale will be two weeks hence, take heart! There's time yet for some highly profitable apple-polishing.
In these hectic closing days, most of your class competitors will have forgotten the possibility of shining the old apple. Now is the psychological time for you to give it double attention.
But don't be crudé about it. Gooey gushiness and sloppy sentimentalism are passe.
Be able. This is wise for two reasons: It gets better results; and it conceals your purpose from your classmates, thereby reducing the possibility of competition to a minimum.
This isn't the place, of course, to expound all the gory details of the practice. If you haven't mastered them already, it would be foolish to attempt to start now. This is just a timely reminder to those capable ones.
Need Death Ride the Airways?
Will last year's series of airplane disasters be duplicated again this year? Already 17 persons have died in two wrecks. All those not killed outright were doubly assured of death by the consequent fires which completely destroyed both ships.
Fire destroyed the Hindenburg and many of its passengers and crew—a fire probably caused by a spark of static electricity. Weather conditions through which the Samoan clipper was flying at the time of its accident closely parallel those existing at the time of the Hindenburg disaster.
A trailing antenna, gasoline vapors from the exhaust, possibly the oil leak which had developed in the motor—any of several reasons may have been responsible for the fire which consumed the clipper. The Northwest Airlines plane burned when the gasoline tank exploded. Any passenger who the crashes did not kill, fire did.
Airplanes are now equipped with every possible safety device known to aviation. Thousands of miles of "blind" flying are accomplished safely each year. Other aeronautical feats verging on the miraculous are not uncommon.
Yet, the menace of fire is given little apparent consideration. Surely, with all the scientific knowledge existing in the United States, something can be done about this problem.
Is it impossible to make planes of fireproof materials? Much has been done to eliminate the hazards causing wrecks. Why, then, cannot the after-wreck hazard of fire be similarly eliminated?
Observing that movie directors are screen testing the President's cook for a part in "Gone With the Wind," we wonder where this search for talent is going to end.

Her globe-conquering tours have become history in the annals of music; she has thrilled kings of many countries in command performances, and of her Mrs. Franklin D. Rosewell wrote in her column, "My husband and I had a rare treat listening to Marian Anderson . . . I have heard a more beautiful and moving voice, or a more finished artist."
Two days before her first American performance, following her European successes, her foot was encased in plaster. She had tripped on a stairway on the ocean line bringing her home. At first, it was

Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, KS.
A most important opportunity hails of Lawrence in the person of Dr. A. W. Palmer, president of the Chicago Theological Seminary. Dr. Palmer will be in Lawrence this coming Sunday, Jan. 16, and will be speaking on two occasions. In view of the need for more young people's groups have volunteered to forge their own meetings this Sunday evening in order that chance to hear Dr. Palmer on one or both of these occasions. Officials of the Westminster Foundation, the Roger Williams Foundation, the Wesley Foundation, Christian Church Forum, and the Fireside Forum have concurred in this understanding. Dr. Palmer will speak at 4:00 in the ballroom of the Union Building, and the YWCA. He will concurre his impressions of Russia last summer with his impressions of Russia last winter in 1817.
In the evening Dr. Palmer will speak at a union meeting of all the churches at the Congregational Church. This meeting will begin at 7:45, and Dr. Palmer's subject will be "What Have Oxford and Edinburgh to Teach the American Church?"
Christian Church
Sunday morning the Foster class, taught by Mrs. Marr, will meet at 10 o'clock following the opening worship hour of the Sunday school. From 9:30 to 9:45 the orchestra will play from the first floor in the day school. In the evening we are disbanding for the two addresses of Dr. Palmer.
Roger Williams Foundation
At 9:45 Sunday, the University class will discuss the subject of "Eschatology." This will be followed by the worship service at 11 o'clock. The Young ePeople's Group in the evening will unite with the other groups in attending Palmer's two addresses.
Westminster Forum
In place of Forum Sunday night the young people will go to the First Congregational Church to hear Revender Palmer at 7:30 o'clock.
There will be a hike Saturday af-
ternoon which will originate from
Westminster hall at 3:90 o'clock.
Sunday school is at 4:45 with Dr.
Naisimh and Mrs. Bruce Cameron
as teachers.
Wichita, Jan. 13.—(UP)–Baseball, “the great American game,” rapidly is assuming importance among the sport realms of foreign nations, and plans are well under way for the first international semi-pro-tournament in history, according to a statement by Raymond Dumont, president of the National Semi-pro Baseball Congress.
Baseball Congress Plans Three-Nation Tourney
Her manager was in a complete dilemma; he naturally didn't want to refund ticket prices to a house which had been sold out for weeks Obviously the contrario could not be made, so he charied her; neither could she use crushes.
The congress will sanction tournations in Mexico, Canada, and Cuba next July, Dumont said. Select teams from representative sections of each nation will play in elimination brackets similar to the plan in 1983, when national tournament will be in Vancouver, B.C., the Mexican in Mexico City, and the Cuban in Havana. The 1383 tournaments are a foundation for a larger program planned for 1939, when national winners from each of these nations will play in the international tournament in Hawaii, Ky. Each national champion will have a chance for the $5,000 minimum first prize, and will get full expense money for the trip.
Vancouver—(UP)—Several Van-couver girl skaters will go to Hollywood soon to flash their blades in "Everybody's Girl," starring Soni Henie and Jack Dunn, Olympic skating stars.

Finally, with the consent of her physician, it was decided that she be standing by the piano when the curtains were drown. "She could stand," said the doctor, "providing the foot did not touch the floor." So, in a flowing gown which concealed the injured member, the great contralto stood through the whole performance, with her supporting leg on a low platform, and bracing herself with her arms.
Not until half the program was completed, and she apologized for not leaving the platform, did her audience know her injured foot was dangling a fraction of an inch off the floor.
Wild and uncontrolled cheers were her listeners' tribute to her pluck She left with her listeners more than the memory of her voice; she then the memory of a struggle to discover seemingly insurmountable odds.
Miss Anderson will be accompanied at the piano by Kosti Vehanen.
Psychology of Parking Proves Very Successful
Quincy, Mass.,午13.—(UP) Slae, Inc., wholesale tobacco dealers, found that a "No Parking" sign on the sidewalk lit lots was ignored by motorists.
But when they placed a “Parking $1” sign on the lot, not a single motorist ventured into the area.
Battle Royal Costs Women
De Queen, Ark.—(UP)–Five Negro women here provided a “battle royal” and paid their own admission to it. The “entertainment” took place in the city park. They paid police court $1 and costs—a price equivalent to tickets to two wrestling matches here.
Clipper Debris-he was heading back to Pago Page. In that time he would not have gone more than 75 miles. Auckland is nearly due south of Jere, and that was the direction the clipper followed.
Continued from page 1
Then, for almost two hours, nothing was heard of the plane. It was 7:55 a.m. when the clipper passed over Aplia, on the island of Upolu. That island is 75 miles west of Pago Pago.
Evidently Captain Musick had turned northwest to return to Pago Pago in a wide, circular route from the west, but he never was much more than 75 miles from either Apia or Pago Pago. Even with one motor-

Pan-American officials believe the gasoline caught fire while being dumped, and caused the explosion. That was the theory of Jean T. Tripe, president of the line, in Washington. He said the dumping of fuel before a landing was "a conservative and normal practice."
After passing Apia at 7:55 on the return trip, Captain Musick报送 by radio at 8:27 that he was dumping his excess cargo of gasoline for a landing at Pago Pago, and expected to arrive there in a few minutes.
