Arms Industry Strike Spreads In British Isles
Scope of Strike Will Be Decided by Union in Emergency Meeting
nation, March 29—(UPI) A nation-wide strike of 120,000 armament workers, endangering Great Britain's $7,900,000,000 program, was threatened tonight as an outgrowth of a local strike in Scotland.
Skilled engineers, earning $17.50 at Boarderat of the Parkhead Forge on Clyde river in Scotland, went on strike for a penny an hour wage increase. The night shift of 600 workers was not expected to report to work.
If this strike is carried out 1500 workers would be affected tomorrow, 5000 from other departments would be forced to stop work by the city and 120,000 union members would have to answer the strike's call next week.
The dispute was referred to the employers' federation and representatives of the union sitting as a negotiation board, but the engineers refused to wait for a decision and began picketing.
An emergency meeting of the Amalgamated Engineers Union was called for tomorrow to consider whether a nation-wide strike would be called to support the Beardmoor workers.
The Beardmor firm has been working day and night to complete armament contracts for the navy.

Court Act Considered By Strike Conference
Approval by Tribunal Gives Unions Right To Bargain
Spring Swing Tomorrow
Lansing, Mich., March 29. (UP)—Gov. Frank Murphy reported "growing confidence" between Chrysler's stake negotiators as another source close to the conference says there was little indication of strike settlement until Lewis, C.I.O., Murphy, returns from New York City.
U. A.W. leaders seized upon the decision to further their plans that they had provided to bargain collectively for all of the Chrysler's 67,000 automobile workers. Upholding of the Railway Labor Act by the High Tribunal established the principle that the Union representing 51 per cent of the railway workers has the right to bargain exclusively, U.A.W. claims to represent 97 per cent of the Chrysler employees.
The Spring Swing, sponsored by the W.S.G.A. and Y.W.C.A., will give all the University women another chance to enjoy a session of dancing unhampered by any members of the opposite sex. The women will dance from 4 until 5.30 tomorrow afternoon and by Red Blackburn's orchestra, Beulah Pinson, c97, chairman of the Campus Sisters, is in charge.

Governor Signs Athletic Tract Purchase Bill
Insures Operation of All Spring Sports; Will Create Good Balance
Signing the bill which provided for the purchase of two tracts of land adjoining the campus, Saturday, Gov Walter A. Huxman insured the operation of all spring sports, and set up a balance sufficiently large to take care of the Dec. 1 payments of the stadium bonds, regardless of the returns from next year's football season.
The lands, which include the intramural fields and the houses in the block northeast of the stadium, were sold by the University of Kansas Physical Education Corporation to finance spring sports, and leave the intramural fields available to the students of the University.
The land was sold to the state at the same price which the corporation paid, about $13,000, with no addition for interest or rent, although the ground had been used for several years for intramural sports.
One of the tracts includes all o' the intramural fields south of the Hill, and contains about 11 acres. The other tract lies at the northeast corner of the stadium and contains ten lots and four houses.

Roberts switched from the "conservative" group with which he voted a year ago, to the "liberal." The decision reopened the field of minimum wages, maximum hours, and working conditions to state regulations.

April 8 Is Date Set for Council Election by M.S.C.
Plans for Reorganizing Student Government Go to Council Committee
Decisions to make election day for men's Student Council officers April, and to refer to a committee the matter of revising student government were made at a midnight meeting of the M.S.C. in the Pine room of demoral Union building last Tuesday.
The committee, appointed by President John Phillips, c37, to investigate the advisability of making any changes in the Council constitution and to draw up an amendment form such changes as are thought necessary. With Council approval, the proposed amendment will be voted on at the regular election Thursday, April 8.
It was announced at the meeting that petitions for nomination for Council offices must be filed with President Wilpacune, e37, Council secretary, before midnight Friday, April 2. The M.S.C. constitution requires that such petitions be filed six days before the election.
The decision to put before the student voters any plan for Council reorganization apparently will necessitate new Council members taking office under the existing scheme of government.
A plan drawn up previously by Phillips, Bob Thorpe, C37, and Dale O'Brien, c37, suggested that membership on the Council be reduced to 17, that the University be divided into four proportional representation districts, and that the party gaining the majority of Council seats select the president, or that the president be elected from the entire University, may be used as a basis for its report by the Council committee.
Objection to the Phillips-Thorpe-O'Brien proposal came largely from members of the Pachacamac party. It accepted unagravinated by P.S.G.
The suggestion that an amendment providing for revamping of men's student government receive a mass meeting ratification or rejection before the election in order that the new plan might go into effect with the seating of new members was voted down by the Council.
Track Men To Leave Tomorrow for Texas Hargiss Team To Enter Annual Relays Competition
With fond memories of last year's surprising performance still lingering in his mind, Coach Bill Hargiss will again journey south tomorrow afternoon with practically the same small hand of Joyhawker trackmen, the Lombardi team and Casely Raleys in the Longhorn stadium at Austin on Friday and Saturday.
Beset by freezing weather and poor training facilities, the Mount Oread trackman will try to dump the apple-cart as they did last April and give notice to the rest of the sport that a Kansas uniform is still a threat.
In 1936, after a dismal indoor season, the Hillmen pulled the impossible. They finished second behind the record-breaking Teams team in both the 440 and 840-yard relay races. Then, as soon, Forrest Hardacre, Jack Richardson, Harry Wiles and Lloyd Foy composed the team.
Dale Shannon, a high-leaping Jaw-
hawker who tied for second place in this meet last year, is again entered in his speciality. Despite the uncompromising weather he has been clearing 5 feet, 11 inches consistently. With a warm sun and sure underfoot,
Shannon should have little, trouble in beating his second-place meet mark of 6 feet, 1½ inches.
Chet Friedland, who placed fourth in the Big Six indoor meet several weeks ago at Columbia, is one of the Hill homes in the shutout.
Don Bird, winner of the pole vault, at the same meet, is also of championship calibre. He will attempt to clear a jump, which will place in any man's league.
According to Coach Hargiss, the complete makeup of the team is still indefinite. It is understood that there is difficulty in arranging transportation and accommodation accommodations can be made of a number of 12 to 14 men will make the trip.
