Issuance of Scrip on Bank's Assets Will Begin Friday
Woodin Permits Clearing Houses to Pro Rate Certificates to Depositors
PEOPLE COURAGEOUS
Washington, March 7—(UP)—Orders authorizing issue of script by cleaning houses throughout the country beginning on Wednesday. Local localities may be allowed to issue script earlier, but only by special direct authorization from the secretary of the
Secretary Woodis's order provided that script may be issued by clearing houses and other authorized associations against sound assets of banking institutions. Script may be delivered by telephone, fax or mail to the directors and depositors on a pro rata basis.
This was understood to mean that depositors probably would be given a percentage of scrip against their deposits, rather than the full amount, depending upon the judgment of clearing house authorities. For the moment there was no authoritative word as to whether No. 93318 would be so ahead at once with its scrip which is now physically ready for issue.
"Wait until 4 p.m." said treasury officials.
Woodin's next press conference is at that hour. This action followed earlier orders providing limited lift of bank restrictions to insure meeting of payrolls, transportation of food, medicine and other emergency needs.
The postoffice department advised postmasters in need of cash for meeting money order and post savings cards to draw on banks in their territory.
The courage of the American people in this emergency was praised by Secretary Woodin. "I doubt if any nation in the world would have faced the situation in the same spirit as the American people," he said.

Heifetz to Appear in Violin Recital Thursday Evening
Fine Arts Office Will Accept Checks for Exact Amount of Ticket
ARTIST SEEKS HISSES
Jaica Heftel, violinist who will appear on the concert course Thursday evening in the University auditorium, believes that audiences in this country are much more interested if they are displeased and to applaud if they are moved by the program.
The young violinist has found that the standard Western music speaks an eternal and international language, intelligent to the Parsee merchant, the Arab shiek, the Chinese mandarin, or the American stockbroker.
In spite of the bank holiday, orders for the ticket continue to come in, the arts Office reported today. Checks for the exact amount of tickets purchased are being taken by this office if the person issuing the check can show an established credit and checking account.
Preparation, concentration, independence of opinion, and the spontaneity of reaction are the qualities which make an ideal audience. Mr. Helfelt believes. Sometimes he finds these qualities in his audiences and at other times these qualities are completely lacking.
This is the first appearance of the violinist at the University, although he has made four world tours. The artist has discovered three things which have changed his musical approach: American Jazz, and applause as sign of the public's approval.
Mr. Helffel hopes that somebody shall have the courage to answer the applause of an appreciative audience with applause of his own which will be his way of saying "thank you" for the good performance of his listeners

G. M. Beal Speaks in Topeka
Reviews Autobiography of Frank Lloy Wright, Leading American Architect

A leading critic has said that Mr Wright is the only man in America who can be referred to as a genius. A great architect, he has won success in Chicago, the west, Europe, Japan, and South America.
His autobiography, classed as one of the most extraordinary books of 1932, reveals the life of a man in his struggle against public hostility. As fascinating to the general reader as to the student of architecture, it is crammed with brilliant comments on architecture, morals, and civilization.

Must Restore Confidence
Dr. Strong Tells Kayhawk Party Their Meeting Last Night
"The greatest problem of the present hour is to restore confidence of the people in the industrial and banking systems," said Dr. Frank Strong, former chancellor of the University, speaking at the memorial last night in the Memorial Union.
In stating the reasons for the present disturbance, Dr. Strong went back to the World War as the chief source of difficulty.
"The assumption of war-time power by the president in proclaiming present conditions to act, continued the speaker, 'and if Congress is unable to cope with the present crisis effectively, President Roosevelt should provide the resignation to resolve the condition of the people."
He closed by urging that students take courses in economics and prepare in every way possible to meet such problems in every-day life.
He said, "Tens of billions of dollars cannot be destroyed without a day of reckoning. Billions sent to other nation as loans have not been paid. Stocks and bonds of little real value have been sold at greatly inflated prices by such men as Krutgen, Insull, Meyer, Borsky, and the others reasons the credit structure of the industrial and banking business has broken down."

BUY FEWER 'COKES'
Older Persons More Concerned
University of Kansas student education officer Katie Musselman, with calm confidence, according to Henry Werner, men's student adviser.
"No students have appeared because of financial embarrassment, although some might have been expected when bank deposits were frozen," said Mr. Werner. "The invitation of the Chancellor's cabinet, to students finding themselves temporarily without cash to come to me, or to Dean Husband, had no response up to noon today."
"My impression is that students are conserving their cash resources somewhat, but apparently are able, by their enthusiasm, to meet the needs of friends, to meet their present needs."
"Older persons seem to be more concerned about the future than the students do. They seem to have confidence that 'dad' will make things come out all right eventually. A dozen or more students are in for conferences subjects yesterday, and now we have the least anxiety at the feature."
W. Werner and Dean Hwere were in conference this morning, considering means by which students who might be in real need, but had made no application for assistance, might be interviewed with the women students was the same as that of Professor Werner with the men.
