UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Lawrence citizens, students of the University, and visitors from throughout the Mid-West lined Massachusetts street for blocks as 19 bands participating in the Music Festival marched from the Kaw River
The University of Kansas Band led the parade, which was started by Major Fred O. Wickham, who has never been known to start a parade late. The procession proved to be a preview for the fast stepping bands that were to take high honors in the marching contest.
Children Steal Show
Two child drum majors stole the show from their older associates.
Cora Anna Keller, 3, who led the Minneapolis band with a wobbly strut and spindling baton, received cheers from the crowds. Four-year-old Jerry Weaver, son of G. N. Neawear, director of the Marquette band, also spent himself on his huge baton but his efforts were amply appreciated by the audience.
Italy Irritated. Bans British Press
Home, May 8 - (UP)—The strain in relations between Italy and Great Britain was heightened today when the government banned the distribution in Italy of all British newspapers except the Daily Mail, Evening News, and Sunday Observer, and recalled all Italian newspaper correspondents from London. The correspondents were recalled on the ground that the British press has been conducting an anti-fascist campaign.
Exceptions were made in the case of the three newspapers because the Daily Mail, the Evening News, owned by Lord Rothermeer, and the Sunday Observer, owned by Viscount Astor, have been favorable to fascism.
The order climaxed two years of growing resentment against Britain's allies during the First World War with the implication of League sanctions during the Ethiopian war and fanned by sneering references in the British press about Italy's empire.
Dr. Thomas G. Orr, professor of surgery and surgeon-in-chief of the University hospitals, has been elected to the Societe Internationale de Chirurgie.
