Harry Brown, charm child from Wichita, had the opportunity to lavish some of his allure on the Keeper of the Bees in the city Saturday night. It seems the state was a little irked at the kiddies for a social sidewiping near the Plaza. This was one time when a friend in need was a friend indeed. Leone Hoffman. Jody Stewart, Jayne Coats, Bill Bright, Jim Nelson, and all other available Pi Phi's and Phi Gan's went on a "touching" tour with the 100 rockets needed to jumpy the lock that controls the “spring.” The contribution of 26 pieces of wampum came from the Kuhn handsters. By 6 a.m., the budget was balanced and “hairibrum” Harry was released from his flat in the City Hostel.

K.U. Press Club To Hold First Meeting
An increased use of photographs, more art work and fewer jokes characterize the first issue of the new Sour Owl, which makes its first appearance on the campus this morning.
With General Franco's Armies—(UP)American movies are popular in Nationalist Spain today despite the civil war.
Franco's Soldiers Cheer Gang Films; Laurel and Hardy Second in Choice
Requeite and F Falangist soldiers who have just returned from battlefields where the have seen hundreds and even thousands killed, and even participated in the killing themselves, still get excited over a good, fast-moving gangster film in which no more than one man—the villain—may be bumped into or killed. Hardy are the most popular attraction, probably because of the strain of war and the relief that such comedy offers.
All students enrolled in any class in journalism are eligible for membership in the Press Club and all are invited to attend.
The magazine is entirely new in makeup from any before published here. Instead of the usual printed headlines, the new Ow1 ones hand-lettered heads through a variety of layout styles is found.
Since the war started, I have gone to at least a score of cinemas in Nationalist Spain. Some of them have been in small close-to-the-front towns like Talvaera and others in big cities like Sovilla and Salamanca. In all of them, the majority of films shown are American and are enthusiastically received by both soldiers and civilians. In many cases the films are not even dubbed in Spanish, but are translated. In the movies, the war-war

towns, the best of Hollywood's lovers come in for good-natured booing and hissing whenever they make love. These soldiers, who have been constantly under rife and shell fire for more than a year and separated from their wives or sweethearts for months, apparently don't think there's enough abandon in American screen kisses.
Kansas: Increasing cloudiness followed by showers and cooler in west and north-central portion Tues' day; Wednesday generally fair, except possible showers in south and east, cooler in east.
During the interval a patriotic touch is always given to every program. The picture of Gen. Francisco Franco is thrown on the screen and the "Mareza Real," the national anthem, is played while everybody stands at attention and salutes with the right hand raised high.
Comedies Shown Under Fire "Longer and louder" they shou in their best Castillian.
At the front, I have seen bits of American comedies and animated cartoons shown right under enemy fire. The films, screens and projection apparatus are carried from front to front in a huge truck and shown wherever the soldiers have not been relieved for several weeks. In seven of these movies, the civilians of these ambulatory movies have nearly been killed in trying to provide entertainment behind the front-line trenches.
Mussolini And Hitler Form Pledge
Dictators Down Wine
In Vowing To Repulse
Attempts at Dividing
Two Nations
Berlin, Sept. 27—(UP) —Reichschein Adolph Lohm and Primero Benito Mussolini today formed a pledge to "repulse attempts to divide our two nations" with toast of the great reception in the chancellery.
More than 200 guests, the privileged few from among millions who had cheered the two dictators' triumphal entry into Berlin a few hours earlier, cried "hell" as his glass raiser raised his glass and said solemnly:
Arrival Stirs Big Celebration
"We believe our political work for the purity of peace and protection of the flame of European culture cannot be considered as the establishment of a blockade of the European state against the others.
"In this spirit Italy and Germany will treat political problems side by side and will repulse any possible attempt to divide our two nations."
Mussolini, whose arrival in Berlin stirred a celebration more flamboyant than anything ever staged for a fashion show, replied to the toast with gusto.
Exclude Soviet Russia
"The conversations which I have had these days with my Excellency have heightened our friendship and made it unimpressionable against any attempt to disturb it. When on which side it may come."
Heller stood among the dark red marble pillars of the chancellery terrace room with Musdolini at his side when he proposed the heist that held the band of Nazi-frienders, every nation except Soviet Russia.
Hilter Toasts "Close Friendship"
"Italy and Germany found them-
selves in common co-operation and
also in close friendship," he began
"at a time when dangerous elemen-
tic threats back and destroy ancient
 civilization."
Mussolini, in his answering toast, took recognition of German demands for recognition of her war-launched colonies, access to raw materials, and of Italy's demands for recognition first power of the Mediterranean.
