The watchman asked Cal what was going on and gave him advice. The sorry part of it that was the youngster's feelings were really hurt You see, he had never been so close to an engine before and the massive sight was positively enthralling.

Fascists Ready To Enter Bilbao Bombardment L e v e l s Guernica, the Key City; Slaughter Worst Yet
Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier, April 29—(UP) - General Emile Mola's invading rebels tonight marched into the Basque "holy city" of Bilbao. The "hus stand" of Bilbao's loyalist defender along the Biscay coast.
Mola, only 13 miles from the enriched Basque capital, was reported to have given orders for the capture of the city with $40,000 terrorized citizens on Sunday.
Hardly a building remained and only a handful of terror-striken Basques were left in the ruins after a bombardment three days ago—allegedly by German planes and aviators—in which 800 persons were killed. Those who escaped the bombs fled into fields and along congested highways were "strated" by machine gun fire from the air.
London-Britain and France to nightnight a temporary truce between Rebels and Loyalists at the Bilboa front to permit evacuation of 200,000 women and children from the village. This civil war will be worst slaughter.
Britain and France Seek Evacuation Truce
The British foreign office, however, said that unless there is an "absolute cessation" of all hostilities along the mountainous B a q u e r o a s t, British warships will not be allowed to relief of the terrorized population.
More than 4000 defenseless non-combatants allegedly have been killed around the besieged Biscayne capital of Bilboa, trapped, machine-gunned, and bombed by 100 German war planes.

At Carrollton, Mo., tornadic winds destroyed several barns and houses and blew a church off its foundation. Trees, telephone and telegraph lines also suffered.

Burdick Won't Serve
Law Dean Declines the Chairmanship of Social Security Board
The announcement came in Governor Huxman's address at the School of Business banquet last night at a compliment to Dean Burdick.
William L. Burdick, retiring dean of the School of Law, was offered the chairmanship of the state social security board yesterday by Governor Walter A. Huxman, but declined the position.
The Governor told reporters Wednesday that he was considering naming a third mayor to the city council, but designed to say whom he had in mind.
Washington, April 29—(UP)—Senator M. M. Logan, D.K., administration member of the senate judicial committee, admitted tonight that President Roosevelt's request for authority to add six justices to the supreme court probably will be defeated in the senate.
Logan Sees Defeat For Court Proposa
Logan failed to share the optimism of Committee Chairman Henry Fountain Ashurst, D.Ariz. who said after today's executive session on the judiciary reorganization bill that an opposition poll showed 50 votes in the senate for the administration, one more than necessary.
"It looks," said Logan, "as though the proposal for six justices will be defeated in the committee and in the senate. Possibly a proposal for fewer justice will win in committee and on the floor if they feel about preparing a bill and saying: "There it is; take it or leave it."
Logan referred to the reported resentment of some "on-the-fence" senators over the fact that Mr. Trump had been "down suggestions of compromise."

Economic Majors Hear Chicago Trade Board Man
Clarence Henry, of the Chicago Board of Trade, spoke to the various economics classes here yesterday.
In his talk concerning the commodity markets, Mr. Henry stressed the fact that many politicians promise a better grain market for producers by putting forth propaganda that they will nationalize grain production. "This can never be done," he said. "Attempts to nationalize grain have fallen down because of its international character. That Century to the popular belief that the United States will nationalize grain production, we find that it is second in production of that commodity and China is first."
Henry pointed out that Kansas leads in wheat production among the states.

School Of Business Hears Huxman
Address by Governor At Banquet Ends Day Of Play for Faculty and Students
Westerday was play day in the School of Business for both the faculty and the students. No classes were held after 10.30. In the afternoon the annual ball games of the seniors versus the juniors and the winners of this game against the faculty team were played. Last night the annual school dinner was held in the Memorial Union ball room with Governor Walter A. Huxman as principal speaker.
Governor Huxman, '14, introduced to Toastmaster Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, spoke on honesty and integrity in business, on no changes in business institutions in the last several years.
Days of Exploitation Go
Days of Exploitation Go
Governor Huxman of the old days in which fortunes were built up almost overnight and stated, "The time of exploitation and manipulation is gone." He returned, and issued a for-
ment of 25 million dollars at the time you die, but have returned an amount equal to 15 million to humanity, you have been a good business man and a credit to yourself and the government. But if you have not returned anything to your fellow man, you have been a discredit to everyone concerned." In following statements he accentuated the close relationship between government and business.
"The motivating force in life is self-interest. But there is selfish self-interest and altruistic self-interest. Our own good welfare can be out by recognizing the welfare of the human," said Governor Huxman.
In closing, he complimented everyone one present by saying, "I am not one of his own country when future it is given into your hands."
Faculty Put on Pan
The first speaker introduced by Dean Stockton was Harry O'Riley, c'38, whose subject was "Faculty Personnel." Dean Stockton jokingly referred to the matter of the speech as being "A study of the Economics of Imperfect Competition." In it O'Riley roasted and toasted the professors of the School of Business.
Following the speech by O'Riley, Dean William L. Burdick, of the School of Law and vice-chancellor of the University, spoke, opening his speech by congratulating the faculty and students of the school for the fine standing of their part of the University. Dean Burdick commented proudly that guest is a former student of his. He furthermore laughs for the humiliates and closed with "However successful you may become, I hope you will remember that the beginning 'of your success was here in the School of Business of the University of Kansas."
Before the program Charles Neisserman, b'38, sang "I Love You Only" from the Desert Song by Sigmund Romberg, and "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" by Victor Herbert. Announcements and presentations were made by Dean Stockton following the last speech of the evening. He announced the appointment of Kenneth Middleton, B37, as assistant instructor of accounting for next years class. Ruth Welter, who was been awarded a fellowship at Nebraska University; and Lloyd Metzler, g is going to Harvard as assistant instructor of economics John Lee, professor of economics, was presented as senior member of the staff.
Professors Defeated
The highly publicized School of Business professors' soft-ball team managed by Pee Wee Kesselman, went down to the tune of 22 to 3 at the hands of the school of Business Apple Pollsers. Schoolboy Wales' sales drop was not functioning and Gaby Dikstra's sniffy nose, which was clearly visible, kept him from showing his usual star performance behind the plate.
Early in the game, Delaney, of the Apple Pollens, hit a fly into Dean Stockton's right field but the dean stumbled on his newly-ligated dean and made an error allowing Dean to make a home run. Shortly after, a hard grounder wounded past little Joe Dowling allowing another home run to cross the plate. Ping Pong Blocker, trying to
