FEDERAL MAN ON JOB
BULLETIN
Leavenworth, Dec. 14—(CP)—Earl Thayer, the seventh of the prison officers, made their escape through the main gate of the prison with Warden Thomas B. White as a hostage is captured today at a main business
He was identified by two citizens here through his prison clothing. He was dressed from cold and hunger to comfort in his way back to the penitentiary.
Thayer was taken immediately to the prison. Three of his companions were killed in a farm house west of here Friday and three others were brought back after capture. Warden White was wounded as he made his way into the prisoners, and members of the police slowly injured.
There was no riding, it was reported but the night guard was called out to aid the day force in preserving order.
Leaventown, Dec. 14, (UIP) - Convenants working in the other house of the building will have to strike today. The prison faced the possibility of being without heat as the building was.
The new disturbance, which came three days after the despare attempt to displace a group of Muslim Thomas B. White and fled through the main gate of the prison, occurred while Fred Zorbat, actingarden, was away, and his brother Warden W. Warden, wounded by the men who kidnapped him, in the hospital. Warden City to meet federal prison director, Sanford Bates, enroute here from Washington to investigate the break in the jail that left Washington last Saturday to take personal charge of the investigation.
Of the seven who escaped Frida Earl Thayer, 65, mail robber, still was a laureate now.
The mutiny in the boiler plant, apparently was perpetrated with the idea of plumbing the prison into darkness for a night's rest. Formal information on the mutiny this morning was given by Sanford Hunters, a captain who arrived here after the strike occurred. He came from Washington to investigate the escape of seven prisoners last Friday.
It was learned today that prison officials had known for some time that the seven who had tried to make the break with the seven who went through with the plot had been indicted by the official and informed them of it and have told them where one or two guns were found.
Refuses to Give More Information
After this initial information, however, the informant was said to have become frightened and refused to give the warden further information or details of the plot. On the strength of that information certain changes were reported to have been made in prison where he believed would have blocked the plot.
Convicts Armed With Bombs
The number of weapons carried by the convicts was believed to have been more than two dozen. They sawd-off shotgun, a magazine rifle and four pistols. Tests have been conducted on convicts to enforces their demands on Warden White to open the gate and accuse them of being a robber.
The bombs made of gas pipe in which Committee had been sealed with a fuse that exploded during the wrecked the warden's office. If it had been off set there, government officials could have used the bombs on the convicts was nitroglycerin apparently made by the convicts themself.
It was believed they made the liqui explosives by "cutting" dynamite somewhere inside the prison.

Thomas Outlines Peace Program at Noon Forun
Saying that heroreofice peace movements had been damned because they had jumped from one single solution to another, he has his program of peace as follows:
Five Main Points Listed by Noted Socialist as His Plan
The world today is faced with a situation where assurance of world peace and economic mean world organization, *declared Norman Thomas*
1. Non-co-operation with an agressor nation.
2. Disarmament, both for practice and symbolic reasons.
but not man.
garrisonable" declarative verb
the most luncheon forum today
Mr. Thomas was to speak on the subject, "What Price Liberty," but changing his topic to, "World Problems," he outlined a program of peace.
He particularly emphasized that any government would have people to pay the price. "People are willing enough to pay the price of war when necessary yet they want peace."
3. Cancellation of war debts and reparations provided that such canceleiaction does not release funds for armament.
5. The tariffs must be lower so as to permit a free flow of goods.
4. Recognition of, and trade with Russia.
"To these points should be added," said Mr. Thomas, "a refusal to collect them from the arms, and the setting up of a new league, the World court and League of Nations suggest new hopes and, under certain conditions they may afford a beginning of international machinery which can handle all of the issues which the United States should accept."
Tought, Mr. Thomas will speak to Why Club in the auditorium of capitol hall on Wednesday. The subject, "To Men Without a Party, or The Political Situation in America," will be discussed.
Mr. Thomas laid the cause of the present depression, not at the door of the state senate, but at "the marriage of capitalism and nationalism." He beaten the two major political parties in the United States for years before he was elected to "We have kept out of the World Court and the League of Nations but want of foreign entanglements," he claimed.

REDUCTIONS PLANNED
Whether the K. U. relays will be dropped from the athletic schedule of the University, and what other steps regarding curtailment of athletic activities at the university may be decided at a meeting of the K. U. athletic board at 2:30 this afternoon at the Charcenez's office. The board will also approve letters of recommendation for letter awards, which will be presented at the community football banquet tonight at Haskell Institute. A possible reduction in the admission price for football games will also be discussed.
At a recent meeting of Big Six athletic directors and officials, it was proposed that schools should curtail their follow-up on the plans presented at this conference, competition in wrestling, or ultimately to largely conference tournaments with inter-school meets cancelled. The program outlined also for sharp mirrors, doors and outdoor, with many inter-school meets cancelled. Few trips to
The relays have always showed a deficit, and the reduction in football receipts this year may cause the board to question this event from the athletic program.
Among things to be considered this afternoon is elimination of complimentary tickets for the Notre Dame game. The next game will be the KU football schedule for next year.
Dove Arrives With Thomas
The Dove, self-styled "liberal journal of discussion," made its first appearance of the year on the campus this morning.
Liberal Journal Makes Its First Appearance of School Year
Norman Thomas, wrote Frank McCalland, gr. in the feature letters of *The New York Times* and her bers of the University for his eloquence, his incivenceness, his intelligence, and his wisdom.
"It is time," continued McClelland. "for all Liberals to consolidate. We liberals admire Narman Thomas, but we do not support him for him; we are inclined to socialism we deplore the machine politics and ultra-conservation of both old parties, but we do not pay even the slight dues to a year to support the party which Narman Thomas is leading."
The radically inclined 'pink sheet' was published by a staff including McCormick,念民尼蒙, Freeland Penny, 134, Phi Phi, Elizabeth Webb, 22, Otto Epp, 62 James T. Collins, c?4, and John W Shively, assistant instructor in journal.

CAMPUS DISARMAMENT POLL RESULTS NOT A TRUE PICTURE
Questionnaire Was Given Only to Classes That Were Be
lieved to Be Concerned With Subject
At a meeting of the board of directors yesterday afternoon, plans were made for reorganizing the Parents Association and planning an organization originated on Dad's day, a year ago it had fail. Until now, not much has changed since they arrived at The Universities of Oklahoma, Missouri, and Illinois, the organization is very perfectly worked out and a powerhouse.
At the University it was not given to the entire student body, but was given to a small group in the department of political science, economics, history, sociology, philosophy, and chemistry to their classes. It was also believed that many were believed to be most concerned with the question of disarmament and militarism in the United States.
That the disarmment poll taken in several University classes last Wednesday was not conducted in a situation here, and did not give a true picture of bd views of the student is not possible.
The poll asked the student's opinion concerning compulsory military training, while military training here is not compulsory but voluntary. Then the poll asked the student's opinion of the entire campus as the questionnaire was given only to a selected group of students, officials said. Too, the percentage basis upon which the vote were taken is not an easy one to determine and frequently is erroneous.
The poll was a general one asking the student's viewpoint on disarmament, compulsory military training, and whether America should take the lead in the disarmament conference in February. It was sent out by the heads of the national disarmament committee and universities in he country.
University disarmment committee said last Friday, "Nothing definable has been done in response," there are few students in the University really punished against disarmament.
Chancellor Lindley said today regarding the poll:
"We were interested in a careful polling on the disarmament question. The time, however, was too short to permit a presentation of the questions to the student committee, and it was with the student committee, it was agreed that a partial polling such as was actually taken perhaps would not be adequate. It was also agreed that the questions as proposed by the state commissioners should be tenuous and would need re-statement.
"This applies particularly to the question of military training in colleges. It should be noted that the question applied to compulsory military training must be applied to U.A. ue that military training at K. U., is voluntary and not compulsory.
(well-planned discussion among our faculty and students will continue."
"A report of the poll in at least one metropolitan newspaper was misidentified, and it was omitted in the report of the poll taken here. We share with the com- ponents that we can do enough time for sufficient publicity and discussion to enable the whole study to be completed." The vole. The issue of disarmament is of utmost importance and it is hoped the committee will
Thomas Advances Organized Planning as Economic Cure
Socialist Predicts International Chaos Unless Social Control Is Practiced
'SITUATION IS SERIOUS'
Norman Thomas, student of political factions and Socialist leader, made a plea for the creation of a constructive planning for the future that would recognize the brotherhood of
Mr. Thomas said that political upheaval would bring about a situation in which it would be necessary, in fact it would mean utter cheers, because of the fact that the entire situation is so turbulent.
Mr. Thomas said that we should not be afraid of revolution because we are experiencing a revolution now which requires us to respond appropriately such as Thomas A. Edison, the world would pass from transportation by horseback and ox-cart to the auto, air-conditioned car and from communication of the word to person to another in the same room to the radio by which we can send the spoken word around the world, proves. Mr. Thomas speaks his speech Mr. Thomas spoke of his greatest years at age of 17 time the general atmosphere of both the student body and the rest of the world was entirely different.
Everyone Was Ontimistic
"Everyone was optimistic then," he said. "There was no want, and it was rich. Everyone wanted for everyone to be rich. Trust were more important than expected a job, peace was expected as being a state of affairs a little bit different from the norm of the spoken of the great business, which was not experienced, however, but makers, agriculturalists, and coal miners."
Mr. Thomas then to the recent visits of H. G. Wells and Bertram Russell, both of whom were quoted by the authors, with pessimism their leading topic.
"In this world in which we live," inscribed Mr. Thomas, "are men growing food who will this very winter know the real suffering that was going on there, as instances of the cities in Texas where the people had no knowledge of the real suffering that was going on there, as instances of the many in shock contrast to the declaration made by President Hoever when he stated that this winter in those unemployed would be well cared for."
Numerous fathers are asking the question, "Where shall we feed our children?" according to Mr. Thomas. "We have no more optima in our country."
with willable responsibility.
"It is more reasonable than peace in a world that is so completely upset as is ours," Mr. Thomas continued. "You cannot have peace," he said, and it was in international relations." This fact is reflected in the extraordinary growth of the cynical acceptance in America of what we call "golden age" you get along it doesn't matter how.
Mr. Thomas gave as an example of his acceptance the merge made by AI Computer Science that was ruthless; they are a great many others that are just as bad occurring in today's tech world.
"In this world of ours," Mr. Thomas said, "there is enough machinery to be used to teach children trained, and if we have enough engineering brains to do this, we could soon have enough to go around. There are many more things in the United States that have more against which to rebel at the present time than did our ancestors who rebelled against them."
"Cries that revolt will be the outcome of the present economic situation are widespread," declared Mr. Thomas. His idea is that a comparatively simple business can be executedaster, but a society as complex and intricate as the present one would be completely demolished by such a revolt. The modern methods of wholesale destruction have become so efficient that a large scale would mean destruction.
Mr. Thomas believes that America's inherited faith in political democracy has been lost to some degree and that the people of our country have not the capacity to enact the necessary process of political institutions to solve their present problems that they once held.
Science has done more to bring about the present conditions than any other in the past. Mr. Thomas. The span of the life of the president, said, includes all the most outstanding of the breathtaking changes in science. He maintained that the economy has come changes in political and social ideas. He maintained that the recep- tory King George of England shows the pro-
