No Kaw Flood Seen Despite Melting Snow
By United Press International
No serious flooding is expected on the Kaw River, according to the corps of engineers. But, melting snow in other areas has brought creeks up to flood stage.
Floodwaters from the Black Vermillion River surged through Frankfort in north central Kansas today, pouring several feet deep through the business district and into residences in a 30-block area.
The river, fed by runoff from fast-melting snows deposited in the snowiest winter in half a century, roared to a crest seven feet above flood stage at 6 a.m., then began falling, city marshal Cecil Hazlett reported. The river dropped approximately one foot in the first hour.
In other areas, some water was backing up today in the new Tuttle Creek Reservoir on the tributary Blue River above Manhattan. A spokesman for the engineers said weather bureau predictions indicated snow melt runoff would raise the water to the vicinity of the old town site of Randolph, abandoned when Tuttle Creek Dam was built.
"Unless we have some heavy rainfall we won't consider shutting the gates at Tuttle Creek," a spokesman for the engineers said.
Two KU Students Accused of Theft
Two KU students pleaded not guilty in County Court Saturday to a charge of petty larceny. They were released on $500 bond Saturday morning.
Casper L. Fernet, Overland Park sophomore, and Bruce D. Beard, Ferguson, Mo., sophomore, were accused of shoplifting a .22 cal. automatic pistol and holster from Wilson's Supply and Service, 1016 Massachusetts Ave. The trial was set for April 8.
"Administrative action will not be taken until after the trial results." L. C. Woodruff, dean of students, said today.

Freshman AROTC Hits 5-Year Enrollment Low
Army ROTC freshman enrollment is the lowest it has been in the past five years an assistant professor of military science said today.
Maj. Robert L. Gilmore explained that the number was below federal requirements of 100 entering freshmen a year. He added that this year's number was anticipated as it fit into a cycle which has been established.
"We are not worried about our enrollment this year. There have been rumors that the Kansas unit is on probation. They are unfounded. Each unit has two years to meet requirements and our enrollment number will come up next year." Maj. Gilmore said.
Only 51
Fifty-one freshmen enrolled this year, 102 last year, 73 two years ago and more than 100 three years ago.
U. S. Army regulations require that each ROTC unit have 100 entering freshmen once in each two years and that the unit have 25 seniors apply for commissions. The unit is placed on probation if either of the requirements are not met.
Maj. Gilmore said the Kansas unit is strong compared to units at other schools. He cited the example of Kansas State where students are required to take ROTC during their freshman and sophomore years.
"Kansas State has 650 men in the program during its first two years. We have less than 100. Yet last year we had 55 seniors apply for commissions and Kansas State only had 41.
"The attitude and willingness of the men at Kansas is positive and commendable. There are 39 men

GENEVA — (UPI) — The United States warned Russia today that unless it is willing to agree on the first stages of disarmament, it is useless to discuss later steps.
The American warning came after Russia's Valieran A. Zorin dumped cold water on a detailed Western blueprint for a veto-free watchdog organization to prevent cheating on disarmament.
Russia Warned In Arms Talk
But chief American delegate Frederick M. Eaton reminded the Russian that the United States will accept no disarmament agreement which does not include substantial inspection and control insurance.
Zorn said he would discuss controls only after the 10-nation disarmament conference here had elaborated a concrete agreement on "general and complete disarmament."
Meanwhile, in Washington, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan said today the prospects are good for him and Pres. Eisenhower to work out a counter-proposal to Russia's plan for banning nuclear weapons tests.
Macmillan made the statement after conferring with Secretary of State Christian A. Hertter and before taking off with Pres. Eisenhower in a helicopter for private talks at secluded Camp David, Md.
Eisenhower and Macmillan visited for several minutes in the President's office. The two then boarded a Marine helicopter and took off for Camp David.
The Prime Minister, flanked with British experts, met with Herter and other U.S. officials for more than two hours at the British Embassy.
Hertter said the conference covered "a number of subjects." and that the outcome had been "all right."
Macmillan was asked how he judged the prospects after the meeting and he replied: "They are al-
ways good."
Weather
Generally fair this afternoon. Increasing cloudiness scattered showers or thunder storms northwest tonight and central and east portions Tuesday. Turning cooler northwest Tuesday. Low tonight 40 to 50. High Tuesday 65 to 75.
Pres. Eisenhower and Macmillan were reported willing to accept on a limited basis Russia's demand for an unpoliced moratorium on small test blasts to be linked with a formal ban on larger explosions.
But Pres. Eisenhower was said to be ready to agree to the moratorium only for his remaining 10 months in office, while Macmillan wants one of at least 18 months. Russia demanded a moratorium of four or more years.
AUFS Speaker Here Tomorrow
Edwin S. Munger, a member of the American Universities Field Staff and specialist on Africa, will lecture to KU campus groups and classes beginning tomorrow and through April 7.
Mr. Munger was the first Fulbright Scholar sent to Africa. He has spent the past 12 years studying the economic, political and social developments south of the Sahara Desert
In 1951-52, 1953-54 and 1956-57, Mr. Munger participated in the AUFS program of visits to member campuses in which KU was included.
In his field work, Mr. Munger has visited all of the 60 territories and major off-lying islands of Africa south of the Sahara and periodically lives in each major region. His interest in nationalism and race relations has taken him also to the West Indies, Latin America, the Middle East, India, Far East, and Australia.
Seventeen classes and several special groups will hear him speak.
Mr. Munger will speak to Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi journalism fraternities tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the William Allen White Reading Room, Flint Hall. Wednesday noon Mr. Munger will address the Faculty Forum.
Sandelius Foresees Negro Gains Through Law
Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science, said at a Current Events Forum that the Negro will be more likely to gain the kind of legislation he desires by staying within the limits of the law.
But the other speaker disagreed.
"Two wrongs don't make a right but perhaps one wrong might bring out the rightness of another right. Sometimes we need shocker techniques to implement this axiom," said Jesse Milan, in reference to the recent Negro sit-down strikes in Mississippi.
Mr. Milan, physical education consultant in the Lawrence school system and KU graduate, and Mr. Sandelius discussed civil rights at Friday's forum.
"We all seem in agreement that civil rights need bolstering," said Prof. Sandelius. "The question is how?"
Prof. Sandelius asked Mr. Milan if Negro demonstrations couldn't be staged within the limits of the law — without infringing upon the right of private property.
"After all," said Prof. Sandelius, "revolution is a good means for effecting orderly change — revolution without bloodshed."
Mr. Milan said the Negroes were not staging violent demonstrations. He said that the lunchroom strikes were done mainly to draw attention to the problems encountered by the Negro.
Mr. Milan also added:
"Legal means have been tried, but they haven't worked. How does the Negro know what is within the law and what is not? One can't tell from a sign. People drive through stop signs every day."
Prof. Sandelius further said that when you are on a person's property illegally you are weakening your principle no matter what your moral belief.
