Russians Strengthening Forces on East Fron
Leading Paper Says That Japanese Plan to Make
Moscow, March 4—(UP)—The Soviet government admitted for the first time today that it has strengthened military forces on its Far Eastern frontier. Simultaneously, it was charged that "responsible for military circles in Japan were planning to seize Far Eastern Soviet possessions."
Seizure
Ivestis admitted "that the docu-
gist be considered persona
ominant of the authors,
writers were too influential to be dis-
regarded and deserved "serious politi-
cal charges."
Through a leading editorial in the newspaper, Ivestia, it was revealed that Moscow possesses documents allegedly emanating from Japanese leaders urging early attack against the Soviets. These urged an action by Russia to prevent accession of the Soviet Union with the aid of Poland, Rumania, and other western nations.
Without disclosing the authorship Izveta published alleged excerpts from the documents. One excerpt said "We consider it necessary that Japan adopt a firm policy with the Soviet union before to begin a war."
"The cardinal purpose," the excerp continued, "of this war is not the protection of Japan against Communist forces in eastern Soviet Far East and eastern Siberia."
Japan Breaks Armistice
Shanghai, March 4.—(UIP) -Warfare was recounted in the Shangai area of eastern China. Japanese high commands had ordered an armament, to be broken only to re-

The Chinese town the takedown after the Japanese charge that the Chinese had opened live on the Japanese occupation forces the Japanese charged that the Chinese had closed the trenches a Nangu near Nanzang.
The order to attack was given by General Yoshiinori Shirakawa, who arrived on the island to command all Japanese military activities. An earlier communication from the Chinese headquarters in Nanjing and near Lihou in the Yangtze river about the Wooung fort, and debarkation point for the Japanese diplomatic force.
Genova, March 4—(UP)—Japan llanding an army of 35,000 more troops from the Nanking, W. W. Yen, Chinese delegate, charged at a session of the general committee of the League of Japan in Tokyo, Sato, Japanese delegate, had told the meeting that Japan would never resume the conflict once it has been off.
False reports that General Shirakawa, commander of Japanese land forces, had been killed in action at Liro caused great crowds of Chinese to form a celebration parade. Long strings of flags flashed across the international settlement giving rise to alarmist runners that the Chinese had started a counter attack.
Yen jumped to his feet and said, "I ask the Assembly to remove its eyes from a mirage. I have just received three telegrams from Shanghai that the Japanese government issued facilities, but is advancing further. Eight transports arrived near Luoho with troops, tanks and artillery, and are pushing on to Nanking, being at present 40 miles west of Shanghai. The Japanese government says I must remind the assembly that the cessation of hostilities is not a unilateral proceeding."

Abductors to Get Immunity, Ransom for Baby's Return

SEVERAL IN CUSTODY
Hopewell, N. J., March 4 (UP)—Protection and protection, the kind of babykid;
Official assurance that the law will not seek to penalize them came from the parent of E. E. Marshal, only a short time after the parents, Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh had opened a broken hearted mother's bedroom in the fair-haired baby on the abducer's own terms. The money is sequestered in Newark ready to pay at moment's rate.

The Lindbergs want only a toy and the kidnappers will return the baby. They are willing to arrange this in any way suitable to the kidnappers and they pledge their word they will not act beyond this in the kidnapping.
The way is now clear fully and freely for the kidnappers to give back to its mother and father the child ousted by the mob, and bring in the Lindebach country home.
"Colonel Lindbergh and I want to make a personal contact with the kid, and I'm going to sign an agreement signed appeal through the press today. 'Our only interest is in his safe and immediate return.' We feel certain that the kid's safety is important; trust is strong enough to justify their having complete confidence and trust in any promises we may make in consequent cases."
Summer Session Board Meets
Scotland Yard Into Search
A meeting at any time anywhere between the kidnappers' representative and a family representative was implored with the understanding all arrangements would be confidential. "We would have to make sure that we connected with the return of the child."
London, Maren 4- (UP) — Scotland Yard world famous criminal investigation machinery was put to work on the Lindbergh case today. The Yard referred to its Glasgow criminal investigation department a caballogram from which the Yard obtained information about certain persons. Glasgow detectives started on the trail.
The press was advised by the family that it is not working on any clues, is not closing in on anyone and that the保姆 is treating lead to the baby's restoration.

Cancel Pan-Hellenic Party
Economy Measure Will Leave Democratic Promotion to Exchange Dinner
The Women's Pan-Hellenic council voted in the regular meeting yesterday to have no party this year. The women say there are too many other expenses.
Last year was the first year that a Pan-Hellenic party has been given. The party last year was to promote a demonstration, which served to sorrow ten members, and each was allowed 10 stags. There are also exchange dinners for the purpose of preparation, but the additional expense that the party would mean is unnecessarily.

A no-decision debate on the cancellation of international war debts was held last night at 7.30 p. m. in green hall. Gordon Sloan, c.o., and Kenneth Kellner, of the United Nations Office of the question, "Resolved." That All International Allied War Debts be Canceled." The negative side of the question was upheld by Mr. A.Migery and Mr. M.Alendorfer, of Kansas City, Mo. Mr. A.Mlendorfer, of Kansas City, Mo.
U.S. Has Normal Obligation
The affirmative held that it is the moral responsibility to curse all war debts, contending that it is unimmutable for the United States to put a mortgage on every man, woman and child in Europe for the next three or four years. Mr. Jordan stated that money used in payment of the war debt traveled in circles, never unwilling any constructive purposes.
He also maintained that the instance of the United States for payway taxes in Europe was unstable political situation in Europe. Mr Sloan raised the point that high protective tariff hurried the only way to keep payments possible with the payments of the debts.
Bankers on Negative
The bankers, on the negative side of the question, said that if the debts were cancelled, the taxpayers of our country would be compelled to pay them, which would cause industry to take a larger share of the economy. Other European countries who would be relieved of the burden, Mr. Allenforder read figures to show that European nations would have needed only a very small percentage of the amount they spent for war preparation has paid the amount due the United States.
Mr. Mingery, in his rebuttal, asked he, the United States was morally obligated to forward the debt from Britain owing them. He said the "United States would be very foolish to cancel the debts for the United States; a situation would bien become reversed.
A practice debate was held before the main debate of the evening. The question was whether Destroyer, Desirable?, Claude Wood, T34, and Burton Kingston, 1933, took the affirmative, and Charles Hacker, clubel, and Charles Hassel, T32.

Art Appreciation Will Be Increased Within Ten Years
Carnegie Corporation Head Attributes Advancement to Fuller Knowledge
KEPPEL K.U. VISITOR
"In the next 10 years there will be a striking advance in the conscious appreciation of the arts," declared Paul Fredrick Kegel, president of the Carnegie corporation, in a speech before the faculty of the School of Plum Arts and friends of art gathered in the ballroom of the Union building for luncheon.
President Keppel opened his remarks with comments on the advancement of art in the field of advertising, printing, and even in the movies. "In the last 16 years the general level of aesthetic have been greatly raised, said Keppel.
Then pointing out that a New York City average student, above the second grade, took two courses in the appreciation of the Arts, Kappel said that this movement and like movements throughout the world, for the conscious advancement of art.
For the last two years the Carnegie corporation has granted the University of Kansas $5,000 for the advancement of the fine arts. This is the first opportunity that the University has received from the University, to observe what is being done in the School of Fine Arts.
Mr. Keppel spent the morning going through the studies and classrooms of the School of Fine Arts and meeting the faculty.

Two hours from Emporia to Kansas City via Lawrence by rail. That will allow the new academy to reach Peoria. Peoria it inaugurates its new contemplated service on the Emporia to Kansas City run sometime early in April, according to information received by the university.
The adoption of the new schedule and service will take place immediately upon the receipt by the railway of a train from Kansas City to Kansas City the new engines will pull trains at a maximum speed of 100 miles per hour. The run from Lawrence to Kansas City it is expected, will take about 30 minutes. The City Schlegel will call for a trip in an hour.
No Progress in Tax Case
Slowness in Transcripts Causes Delay in Preparing Briefs
"There are no further developments in the fraternity tax case at this time," according to Henry Ashler of the firm of Hutchinson, who is the county in its defense of the suit brought by the fraternities to force the county to remove their properties from the tax case.
Delay in the case is due to the slowness in obtaining a transcript of the testimony, which amounted to over 40,000 words, from which the attorneys will prepare their briefs for their recommendations to Judge C. E. Vance, special master appointed by the state commission to hear evidence and submit findings.
No date for the final arguments of the hearing has yet been set. According to Max Randel, the attorneys for the fraternities during the hearing of testimony at Lawrence, the case will probably be adjudicated as supreme in a month or more.

The youth of Germany is tending toward Hitlerism and extreme nationalism due mainly to crushing taxation. They believe that payment of German taxes will lead them there. There are 1,000,000 unemployed in Germany compared to 3,000 in France has not entirely thrown off the influence of post-war psychology and negotiation involving moral co-operation hindered by this lingering haterness.
A major influence in England's condition is the decline of her shipping due to the development of the merchant marine of other countries, which in turn was due to the growing use of oil and gas. The loss of her trade was the need of oil that prompted England's efforts to gain a mandate over Palestine.
Italy, Miss Fifield said, is crowded and is faced with three alternatives to care for her excessive man power; war, colonization, and industrialization. If Mussolini succeeds in his efforts to neutralize the Allies, the military will probably be the solution to Italy's problem, since the Balkans can supply the necessary raw materials.
If one's wages were to receive three successive cuts of 50% each how cheerful would be one's outlook? That is exactly what has happened in Hungary, according to Miss Wiley at the Wigly club last night, telling of some of the influences responsible for Europe's mental and social attitudes. Miss Fiffel, now working with the Girl Squats in Kansas City, was the executive secretary for a number of years. She will return to Geneva this summer.
Now that the Chinese and Japanese have declared an armed cruce and the world at large is reacting, they are catching on its kinks, the Phi Pi's and the Theta's had to break the calm serenity of the pacifist or warrior or, if you prefer, infamous feud.

DRAMATIC PROGRAM GIVEN BY MACDOWELL FRATERNITY
Clinton Young, c32, read an originary prose work entitled "Snow," "Sepi etude Etude d'Concert?" by Sterbern, a piano solo, was played in the performance "Gunga Dun" and "The Post that Fitted." were read by Rilla Lecka, ed32.
Artistically Inclined Phi Psi's Renew Old Theta Feud by Few Deft Touches
While the young women of the fraternity of Kappa Alpha Theta were *dumbreling* studying, or getting in touch with the faculty to make the bathhut before the deadline, some mimechievous fellows, purported to be members of the Phi Kappa Pi deacrested the mortgaged beauty of the fraternity of Omni Mary and dives and festonnings.
Road signs familiar to those who travel the Ottawa or Topkapi highways were planted in the yard and hung on wall clips. THE HEAD "SLOW." THE NO TRESPASSING" "DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD" "NO PARKING ON SLAB" "PRIVATE" and other signs of a like nature were among the collection.
Lawrence remember the beginning of the Theta-Phi Pti feud, way back in 1948 when his hair-bearer boys with the bell-booted pants and the Thetas, as the Jayhawk reporters, marched up to the hill sported the best celli-gang on the Hill. They were the days of the beginning of the feud which led to the death of the cats in the Theta house vestibule.
Persons in the know reported this morning that the Phi Pa's had nothing to do with this renewal of the feud. Wise ones say that the idea originated with two young men from a small village time. Imbued with a spirit of adventure, these two young men provided the signs and the disposition to do things and the Phi Pa's merely added and abetted them in the manner of a minister of Adam With eaves in the garden.
At any rate, no alibi on earth will convince the Thetaist that the Phi Pi's weren't at the bottom of the whole thing and nothing will make the Phi Pi's decline to accept the laurels, if any.

Non-Fraternity Men Vote for Merger Again in Hill Spring Campaign
FOR 'FAIR CANDIDATES'
Making an appeal especially to non-fraternity men and issuing a statement on the ground against the organization which fraternity and non-fraternity men have equal representation, the Kayhawk club last night voted to again reject a nomination to be president coming elections as was done last year. The following statement was issued in response: "Mr. Kovacs, president of the Kayhawk club
"The Kayhawk club is an organization with the primary purpose of upholding the interests of the non-frauen in the community life, and it is with this in view that we voted to again co-operate with the Oread party in the coming election."
"The only way in which non-fraternity men can get representatives in student government who will uplift their interests is for the non-fraternity men to be more involved rather than to have them selected by a dominating fraternity group. Last year we saw an effort in the history of K. U. politics, and it is our purpose to again have on the ticket an equal number of non-fraternity men chosen by the non-fraternity men
Ripley Promises Support
The action of the Kayhawk club has night is to my mind an expression of the confidence which the non-fraternity group has in the party. That policy has been and is to secure equal representation between fraternity and non-fraternity men. As the campaign opens, I can assure the non-fraternity men of the help sup-
