Franco Forces Draw a British Note of Anger
Mussolini Again Enters Picture With Blame For Rebels' Revolts
London, March 30. —(UP) The cauldron of Spain's civil war bloated with new menace to European peace tonight when Great Britain and France sent warlite warnings to Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
The action of the two great democracies—grimly arrayed against the ambition of Fascist Germany and Italy to establish a satellite dictate in Spain—followed the apparent recklessness of France's navy in carrying his rebellion beyond the Diberian boundaries.
Britain issued a counter warning to Franco that she will "not tolerate any interference at all with British ships on the high seas." The commander-in-chief of the British fleet in the Mediterranean, Admiral Sir Alfred Dudley Pound, was instructed to protest against the halting of three British vessels and demand an explanation from the rebuke趴.
The tension was aggravated by reports that Premier Benio Mussolino was being blamed for a series of revolts that have broken out in the city, and to keep the rebel firing squad busy with an estimate 600 or more executions.
There must be solemn assurance from France, Britain said, that no further act of interference with Brit- shiping on the high seas will occur.
NUMBER 122
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
Wichita seemed to be the center of activities during the holidays with K. U.'s Men's Glee Club performing and Will Osborne's orchestra at the 400 club to provide the entertainment. Marlin Wright made a big hit when he sang a couple of numbers to the accompaniment of Osborne's music... Jody Stewart was introduced as KU's "most adoring she" and was noticeably embarrassed - Pinky Tomkinson didn't help kissed her rushed up and off occurred when a group of students, including Phil Stratton, went back stage to exchange greetings with the Men's Glee Club after the performance at North High. When the group started to leave, Stratton was surrounded by high school girls seeking his autograph. The conversation something like this: Stratton: "Why do you want in the glee Club? I'm not in the Glee Club." Girls: "Well, you're from KU." Aren't there has been explained by many that Stratton Barymore-Taylor appearance is the factor responsible for his being worshiped by women.
Fire Arts detectives have raided the practice rooms and caught persons who insist on playing "Swing" music to say nothing about those who prefer the seclusion of the rooms when having a dash of nicoon. They have confessed to offenders and posted on a bulletin board, the meaning of which seems to be: "G get caught one more time and you will be extracted from school." Comments on the action indicate that, without the "Swing" coments, classes in the Ad building will again assume their dullness.
One of the Hill's perennial students was heard telling about his blasted hopes for graduation. He should have been graduated last year, but suffering from ingrown toenails after his taking finals—so he told his father. This year his grades are not the best, but he thinks maybe he can give his father a sufficient explanation again because his wisdom teeth are already beginning to give牙友 that he really didn't care so much about graduating just yet because he had fallen in love with a sophomore girl and would like to go to school a couple of years longer

Elevator With 25 Falls At University Hospital
The elevator in which 25 physicians attending the sixth annual post-graduate clinic at the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City, fell four floors Monday afternoon. No serious injuries were received, but Dr. A. Porter Davis of Kansas City, Kans., suffered a sprained left knee.
The elevator operator had left his post to eat when the physicians crowded into the elevator, despite the warning signs which stained a wall in front of the room and not more than 10 passengers should ride in the elevator at a time.
It seems that it was a moot question as to the speed with which the elevator fell, however it is known that it struck the basement floor with such force that employees thought an explosion had taken place. Several of the physicians in the elevator fell with gaining speed and both bottom; however C. A. Moody, assistant engineer at the hospital, after an inspection of the automatic breaking system, said that he felt sure that this device had showed the descent of the elevator.
Final Verdict May Embrace T. W A. Ice Theory
The doctors were trapped in the cage for about ten minutes, until P. R. Applegate, the hospital's chief nurse, opened and assist the physicians to mount the four-foot barrier which separated them from the floor level.
Crash Still A Mystery
Flyer's Club, Allegheny County Airport, Pittsburgh, March 30 - (UP)—Hours of testimony, likely to continue until midnight tonight, left as much a mystery as ever the reason for the crash last Thursday of a T.W.A. sky liner five miles from Pittsburgh with a loss of 13 lives. The hearing conducted by the federal bureau of air commerce, under the guidance of Airlines inspector Bryan M. Jacobs, resulted in persistent development of the T.W.A. theory of ice accumulation on the leading alibers of the big Douglas causing Pilot Lawrence Bohnet to lose control.
Belief that the final verdict, to be rendered in Washington after the purely fact-finding body here has submitted its report, will embrace ice theory, was strengthened by the possible explanations failed of development beyond the stage of explanation.

Regents' Choice Means Big Six Ouster Threat
The possibility of expulsion from the Big Six if the Regents select the new athletic director is the one that confused athletic situation here.
Conference Schools Eye Clause in Rules on Faculty Control Of Athletics
This possibility has arisen over the question of whether or not the faculty control of athletics has been curtailled by the procedure used in the conference rule, a curtailment would be in violation of the conference rule which states that "only institutions having faculty control of athletics may be members of this association." This limitation is a requirement of the North Central Association.
Other Big Six schools are reported to be interested in the situation and may make an investment. They are by the faculty has been impaired.
Choice Remains Unknown
With Lonsbord out of the race, John Bunn, Kansas graduate and basketball coach at Stanford, steps up to the position of first choice of the board. The next in line is Tad Rial, also a graduate of the University of Missouri athletic director at the Springfield Teachers College in Missouri.
The choice of athletic director or yet remains in the realm of the unknown, and no progress towards the selection of a man to fill the position is expected for several days. This hull follows the action of the number one choice of the athletic board, Arthur "Dutch" Lomborg, who left weekend from the list of those to be considered for the position.
It will probably be several days before the Regents' committee meets to decide upon these men. However there is no assurance that either will be acceptable, as it is understood that Bunn's salary fee is too high while Reid is reported to have greatly interested in the job.
It would seem that the athletic board must make the final appointment if the Big Six rule is to be observed. However Professor Davis said the board will not choose a man unavailable to the Board of Regents.

"I'm pining all my faith on 'Wally this year,' said Schiller Shore, amateur "fly-yer," and employee of the Journalism Press, yesterday as he surveyed his latest hand-made fish hure. "I christened this one 'Wally because I believe it will make the best season of the season," he added confidently.
"Wally" has a cork body covered with tinfoil, white wings of chicken feathers and a tail of red squirrel hair. From the body protrudes a gleaming hook upon which Schiller hopes to duplicate his last year
a fly in the state lake at Tangonoxie. Shore, who has sought game fish from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, has become adept at making his own lures and has more than 40 in his collection, most of which are used by his children. Conspiring Among his best lures are "Hitter Dictator," "The Graberin," "Professor Flint," and "Chief Justice."
Red, yellow, white, gold and silver are the predominant colors used by Shore in his lures, and while he has heard that fish are color blind his personal experience has proved to him that fish do reach better to cer- tain blue. Blue and green have been found to have little lure for名鱼 fish.
Shore once had the unique experience of hooking a bat on a wet fly while he was casting into a stream.
