Kansans Eye AAU After NCAA Title
The Kansas Jayhawkers eye the National AAU track and field meet-at Bakersfield, Calif., this week after successfully defending their national collegiate track and field title at Berkeley Saturday.
Although Southern California, UCLA, Oregon and Oregon State gave Kansas the closest—though not strong—competition, four Jayhawker first place finishes sparked the Big Eight conference to domination of the national meet.

One of the more recent, however, is "Secret of the Congo" (Ginn & Co). All her other books have been published by Dutton.
"I didn't actually decide to turn from children's stories to books for adults," Mrs. Fletcher says. "Gradually, though, I found myself writing for older young people and then for grownups."
She went to Africa to obtain material for "All Men Are Brothers," by seeing for herself what Albert Schweitzer's life there was like, and talking to him. Later, when she wrote "A Seed Shall Serve," this life of Toyohiko Kagawa won the Schweitzer medal offered in Berlin for a biography embodying Christian principles. Mrs. Fletcher flew from Tokyo to Berlin to receive it.
In Japan she lives in a house which once belonged to a samurai. "There is even a secret passage," she said. "The room which contains it is now used for storage, and is where the maid dries the clothes on rainy days."
Mrs. Fletcher went to Japan in 1957 to attend an international convention of P.E.N..a writers' organization, and stayed on to teach English literature and write.
She is a native of Drew County, Arkansas. Her husband was the late John Gould Fletcher, Pulitzer-nize winning poet in 1939, born in Little Rock. He returned there to live after 15 years in England.
Mrs. Fletcher will lead a juvenile workshop session in the conference, on "Writing for Young Readers," and like other leaders in the writing short course, will take part in panels and round tables which enable the enrollees to get close personal attention to their work.

a star-studded field. He tied his best all-time 200-meter mark in 20.8 and tied the NCAA 100-meter mark with a winning time of 10.2.
Bill Alley turned in his third best javelin performance of his career to set a new NCAA record in that event—268-9.
Cliff Cushman lowered his KU school record in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles for the third time this season, winning easily in 50.8.
Those four performances gave the Jayhawkers 40 of their 50 points and were enough to outdistance runner-up Southern California, which had 37.
Terry Beucher continued his amazing improvement of the season by throwing the javelin 245-7—good for a third place. That mark was just six inches away from placing Beucher into second place in the all-time Big Eight javelin lists. Les Bitner of Kansas threw 246-1 to win the NCAA in 1955.
Bill Dotson and Billy Mills each added two points to complete the KU scoring. Dotson finished fifth in the 1500-meter run in 3:48.7.
Mills added another fifth in the 5,000-meter run finishing in 14:85.
500-meter run, finishing in 14:8.5. By finishing in the top six in their events those six Jayhawkers qualified for the American Olympic trials July 1 and 2 at Stanford. Another Kansan, Bob Tague, also qualified in the 800 meters because two of the top six finishers were not American nationals. Tague finished eighth in 1:50.4.
Three other Big Eight schools showed up well in the major collegiate meet of the season. Oklahoma and Missouri each scored 14 points and Colorado added 12.
Missouri's Dick Cochran became the premier discus man in Big Eight history with a winning toss of 188-3$\frac{1}{2}$. That was an inch and a half better than the top mark ever recorded by Al Oerter while wearing KU colors.
Oklahoma's J. D. Martin failed to hit 15 feet in the pole vault, but still won the event with a vault of 14-9. Colorado's Teddy Woods won the 400-meter dash in 45.7. Thus the Big Eight won seven of the 17 events.
Palmer Ready For Attempt At Grand Slam
DENVER—(UPI)—It was two down and two to go yesterday for Arnold Palmer, the new U.S. Open champion.
He has the British Open and PGA championships to go to score the grandest grand slam in golfing history. He reached the halfway mark in his objective Saturday when, with the greatest comeback the game has ever known, he won the U.S. Open championship with a par-busting round of 65. six-under-par.
In April he won the Masters by birdying the last two holes. In the heat of a June day near the foot-hills of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains Saturday he came from seven strokes back to win the Open — the most prized title in golf. He did it with a game that was hotter than the weather — carding six birdies in the first seven holes of the fourth and final round.
Starting the day, he was eight t strokes behind Burly Mike Souchak, who looked like he was going to run away with the tournament. At the end of the morning 18 holes, Palmer still trailed Souchak by seven holes. As the pre-tourney betting favorite at 4-1, it didn't seem like Palmer had much of a chance.
But as he explained later, "I had desire."
"You never give up in this game; anything can happen."
It happened to the golfing Golden Boy from Pennsylvania. He started out with four birdies on the front nine of the final round, his key shot being a 50-foot chip-in on the second hole.
"When that went in, I figured I could make it, for I heard Big Mike was having his troubles. But there still were a lot of other fellows in the field I had to beat."
He beat them all with those four birdies, a par, and then two more birdies for the first seven holes. He Round up the front nine in 30, tying the record score for an open nine set by Jimmy McHale of Philadelphia back in-1947.
Sirens Are Too Loud
PORT ARTHUR, Tex. — (UPI)—Charles Savoy, a considerate citizen waited from 2 a.m., until 8 a.m., before notifying firemen of a fire at his home because he didn't want to disturb the fire fighters.
He explained that a cigarette smoker ignited a mattress, so he pitched the mattress into the backyard and left it to smolder.
Survey Links Extroversion To Cigaret Consumption
NEW YORK —(UPI)— A new statistical check-up on a single phase of human behavior suggests men who smoke cigarettes are more outgoing, less rigid emotionally, but no more neurotic than men who don't smoke anything.
He began with his own muchdiscussed dimensional theory of human personality which he has been formulating for some 20 years. Reduced to its nub, it holds that many behavioral traits are in-born—influenced, perhaps, but not formed by environmental circumstances.
Among these traits are those of being extroverted (out-going) or introverted (turned inward on the self). Mental rigidity and the emotional instabilities lumped under the word, neurotic, have inborn components, too, according to the theory of Eysenck.
On this theoretic basis, he figured extroverts should smoke cigarettes in numbers matching their degrees of extroversion, since extroverts "concentrate on objects in the outside world." He reasoned further the neurotic would smoke more than the nonneurotic because "smoking reduces the strength of an aroused emotion."
As for the mentally rigid, he based himself on "the fact that smoking as indeed all pleasurable activities, tends to be regarded as slightly sinful, and would therefore tend to be shunned by the rigid, puritanically minded type of person."
The next step was to prove or disprove these ideas in people. Toward that end, he and his associates worked out an elaborate questionnaire designed to draw from answerers their degrees of extroversion, introversion, neurotic imbalance, and rigidity of mind.
The answerers were divided among heavy, medium and light cigaret smokers, pipe smokers, and non-smokers. These divisions were sub-divided into age groups (40-50 and 60-70), occupations and social class. In all, some 2400 men answered. Our interest is in the results.
These hooked up cigaret-smoking with extroversion. With less certainty, they connected nonsmoking with emotional rigidity. But they failed to show a link between cigarette smoking and neurotic personalities. However, they showed pipe-smokers were highly introverted, that is, turned inward.
Eysenck said the results demonstrated there are essential in-born personality differences "between smokers and non-smokers, and between cigaret smokers and pipe-smokers." Each is a "kind" of person distinct from any of the others.
Eysenck is a professor at the institute of psychiatry in London where the study was made. The results were published in Britian.
Britain Announces Atom Slowdown
LONDON—(UPI) — Britain announced a sharp slowdown in its atoms-for-peace nuclear power program yesterday.
But the government said it still plans to build nuclear power stations on an adequate scale to take care of Britain's skyrocketing electric power needs.
The slowdown was announced in a government white paper.
Minister of Power Richard Wood told the House of Commons it was not a cut-back "but a deferment of
The government estimated that within 10 years it will be cheaper to produce nuclear-generated power than power from stations operated by coal or oil.
the slight acceleration" that is planned.
The government's current 10-year nuclear power program called for spending nearly $4,200,000.000 on construction of 91 nuclear power stations by 1965.
