"If the worsening of our balance of payments position is indicative of a worsening competitive position for the United States, as I think it is, then what courses are really open to us?"
Alfred C. Neal, president of the committee on economic development, said that business would have to grow and change to keep the United States in its traditional place — on ton.
57th Year, No. 122
"We will have to see whether we can improve our products, our prices, or our costs."
3 Eastern Leaders Predict Midwest Business Boom
"Fortunately, the distinguishing mark of the American economy has been a genius for innovation. This has required ingenuity, inventiveness, research, experimentation, and, above all, a willingness in business to welcome changes and take risks."
Three eastern leaders in business made a unanimous prediction for growth and change in the Midwest in talks Saturday at the conference on "The Future of Business in the Central U.S."
Business Will Undergo Change
The conference was held in conjunction with the dedication of Summerfield Hall. A banquet was held Friday evening during which John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, and Frank Stockton, former dean of the School of Business, reminisced about past years and events.
The next day, Robert L. Hershey, vice president of the E. I. duPont de Nemours Company, Wilmington Del., said he could seeforce innovation as causing a great change in business in the future.
Mr. Neal said that the United States must start using its advantages to the fullest extent. He enumerated several potential advantages the U.S. has over the rest of the world which have been untouched.
"The rest of the industrialized world is moving rapidly down the path we have travelled. Unless we push ahead in using our own strengths we shall find the margin between us and other countries dwindling in the very lines where we should be most productive."
Dean Stanley F. Tealc, of the Harvard Business School, emphasized the role of the business manager but securely tied it to the change and growth of the future.
Before shifting his speech to the business manager, Dean Teele remarked on the world situation.
"In the less well developed countries of the world the leaders have seen a vision. They are convinced that the hunger and lack of material progress, which has been their age long lot, is no longer necessary.
"They are determined that the fruits of the scientific and managerial revolution shall come, not to their grandchildren, and not to their children, but to themselves."
Specialization Will Continue
Specialization Will Continue Dean Teele said he believed that specialization would continue to increase. He said that "it seems that the accelerating rate of change will put a steadily higher premium on imagination or creativity."
The three speakers emphasized the fact that the farmer and agricultural interests have exceeded industry in
growth and thus are facing a problem.
Mr. Neal said:
"A good deal of the advantage that we enjoy in the cost of farm commodities we lose because of the barriers against low-cost farm products which exist abroad. But they exist abroad because we insist upon having such barriers ourselves to protect our own price-support programs.
"In farm products, therefore, we have a competitive advantage which we are mostly throwing away. We insist upon pursuing an outmoded, unrealistic and terribly expensive domestic farm price policy."
Dean Teele said:
"In view of the still immense needs for agricultural products around the world I have raised the question as to whether our broad policy should not be to maintain our agricultural population and increase the total output of agricultural products to be provided on a long run investment basis to at least some of the developing countries of the world."

Observance of Passover Begins at Sundown Today
Only unleavened bread is eaten during Passover as a reminder of the great haste with which the Jews fled Egypt.
Congregations frequently hold Seders at their synagogues on the second day of Passover. Worship rituals are held on that day and again on the final days of the period.
The official dedication was at 10 a.m. Saturday morning in Summerfield Hall.
Lawrence Jews will celebrate Seder at 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Castle Tea Room.
At sundown this evening, Jews of this area will meet in their synagogues to begin the observance of Passover with a brief prayer service.
The Passover commemorates the Exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. It takes its name from the Biblical account of the escape of the first born of the Jews, when the Angel of Death passed over the Israelites' houses but took the first born from each Egyptian family, fulfilling Moses' prophecy.
Krehbiel Awarded Danforth Fellowship
After the service at the synagogue, families will eat the traditional Seder meal at their homes. It accompanies a ritual and a set of

A woman last night accused two members of the West German government as being partially responsible for the mass killing of Jews during World War II.
German Says Race Bias Gone
Her charge was immediately denied and termed unfounded by Walther Hubatsch, visiting professor from Bonn University, who was answering questions after giving a lecture on the Jews in Germany and their connection with German history.
Prof. Hubatsch, who spoke in the Kansas Union, said the only place the woman could have obtained her

The queen and her attendants were chosen by Arthur H. Cromb of Kansas City, Mo., president of the KU Alumni Assoc. and Sam Alexander, Jr., of Topeka.
information was from Communist radio stations in East Germany.
"The Communists are always trying to create friction between Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and the German people. There is no foundation for such charges."
Prof. Hubatsch said that there was no anti-Semitic feeling whatsoever in Germany today.
Generation Not Interested "In both parts of Germany it is clearly seen that the younger generation has no interest in war guilt or anti-Jewish feelings. The big danger is that the press might raise the forgotten prejudices," he said.
Prof. Hubatsch, speaking with a decided accent, said the important thing to look at in German history when considering feelings toward the Jews is that for just 10 years, only from 1935-45, were the Jews ever persecuted during Germany's history.
"Shortly after the first World War, many Jews came to Germany from Poland, France and other European nations because of the Germans' tolerance.
"The only other example of an anti-Jewish movement excluding Hitler's reign of anti-Semitism was at the turn of the century. Then it was just intellectual criticism and there was no active discrimination," he said.
Same Ideas Exist
Prof. Hubatsch said the German government and the Jews in Germany now have the same ideas on anti-Semitism. He said there was no popular feeling against the Jewish people and that there never had been.
"The German People did not support Hitler in his persecution of the Jews. Many people do not realize that many Germans aided the Jews immensely during the war."
The German historian said it was unjust for an anti-Semitic movement in Germany 15 years ago to be a basis today for a world wide anti-German sentiment.
He said the Jews have better protection under the laws in Germany now than they have ever had. He said that during the time Hitler took over, the constitution was tossed out the window, but added it was impossible to get rid of a constitution in a democratic government such as West Germany has now.
Gemans Not Behind Hitler

The German people did not back Hitler in his persecution of the Jews. He said this was possible in a totalitarian state as Hitler headed, but could never have happened in a democracy.
Prof. Imbatsch said anti-Semitic movements were not unusual before Hitler, but that his dictatorship was the first time that the head of a responsible government had

Two Fraternities Unite Before Burning Arrow
FIRE IT UP!—Jerry Brown, Kansas City, Mo.,
senior sets fire to a giant replica of the Pbeta
Phi arrow as a symbolic peace act between Delta Upsilon and Phi Kappa Psi.
Two fraternities renewed bonds of friendship last night before a flaming arrow which had been stolen from Pi Beta Phi sorority by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
The burning took place shortly after 11 p.m. in front of the Pi Beta Phi sorority house. Members of Delta Upsilon and Phi Kappa Psi fraternities congregated to witness the burning of a mock, but realistic arrow, the symbol of the sorority.
Arrow Will Not Mar Friendship
Jerry Brown, Kansas City, Mo., senior and spokesman for the two fraternities, said, "Delta Upsilon and Phi Kappa Psi have decided not to let a foolish arrow stand between their friendship. We have the solution!"
three weeks ago when the Phi Psi's stole the Pi Phi's arrow, normally attached over the porch of the house.
Events leading to the mock burning of the arrow started more than
At this point two men carried a four-foot arrow with light bulbs screwed in around the border into the Pi Phi front yard and set it on fire after a thorough douzing with gasoline. Two men stood by with fire extinguishers.
Gasps were heard from members of the sorority leaning out of upstairs windows as the flames leaped around the arrow. More than 100 men watched the fire.
Two days ago the Pi Phi's asked DU's to raid the Phi Psi house and steal back the arrow. The DU's were successful, but decided not to return their prize to the sorority.
Yesterday members of the two fraternities got together to decide what to do. Last night's action was agreed upon and Donald Alderson, dean of men, was notified.
Proceeding Orderly
The proceeding before the sorority house was orderly. As the arrow burned the two fraternities broke into songs of the Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororites.
The Pi Phi's retaliated by singing songs of the Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi fraternities. Good-natured jests were hurled back and forth.
The ruse was effective as members of the sorority were greatly taken aback by the proceedings. The housemother appeared near the verge of tears and one woman said, "I think it's just horrible."
The DU's returned the arrow to the Phi Psi's and the place above the sorority's porch is still empty.
