KU Women Take Honors At Young Republicans Fete
By John Peterson
Two KU women won honors at the State Collegiate Young Republicans Club convention in Topeka Saturday.
Julie Casterman, Pittsburgh junior and last year's state chairman, was named Outstanding Young Republican of the Year and Constance Hunter, Hutchinson freshman, was named Miss Young Republican.
"The Democrats have gone beyond 'Bossism' with a capital 'B' — they have 'Tyranny' with a capital 'T' and that 'T' stands for Thesis. He is the State Chairman, National Committeeman, and the 'Lord High Everything Else' and now he wants to be Senator.
William M. Ferguson of Wellington, a Republican candidate for attorney general, gave the major address of the two-day convention.
Ferguson directed his blasts at the opposition party:
"Theis has said that the Democratic campaign in the fall of 1960 is to be 'Operation Wipe-Out' for the Republicans. Actually, everyone knows it is simply 'Operation Coat-
tail'. Every Democrat hopes to get in on the coattails of the Governor — and those coattails may be wearing thin."
Ferguson said that a few years ago college professors and students considered it smart to be so-called "ultra-liberals" with great compassion for the masses.
"That is why the majority of college trained and professional people are now Republicans — and should be. Even labor is now finding that big government is not the answer to all things."
"Our battle now is not for the elevation of the masses but to keep the foundations of capitalism from being eroded away to the point that we are swept into the river of state socialism or a communistic dictatorship," he said.
Ferguson admitted that the Republican Party now is the minority party in the United States, but he said that was because it was upholding the principal of the capitalistic system.
Ferguson charged that the Democrats were seeking "big and big"
ger government." He said Republicans know that this is popular in the short run, but that they maintain that to survive, it is necessary to preserve the capitalistic system.
He said the opportunity for young people to play an important role in Kansas Republican politics is greater now than it has been for many years.
"The Republican party is now a wide open organization without factions, cliques or bosses," he said.
More than 150 students from 11 Kansas colleges and universities attended the convention.
Saturday noon a Newton attorney, Richard F. Hrdlicka, spoke to the members. Hrdlicka escaped from Communist - dominated Czechoslovakia in 1948. He explained why he became a Republican.
Charles McIlwaine, Wichita junior, was elected first vice chairman during elections held Sunday morning. George Leonard, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, was elected head of public relations.
A Kansas State student, Gene Olander, was elected state chairman.
Docking Says State Can Hire Cheaper Execs Than Murphy
Gov. George Docking recently claimed that Kansas could hire "plenty" of administrators as able to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy
Franklin D. Murphy
for less money than the Chancellor now receives.
Gov. Docking, speaking at the Fifth District Democratic convention in Great Bend Feb. 28, didn't mention Chancellor Murphy by name.
Cold Weather To Diminish
The extreme cold weather that has gripped Kansas for the past two weeks began to moderate slowly Sunday and continued to do so today, according to a United Press International weather report.
With spring less than two weeks away Old Man Winter is slowly beginning to diminish.
The lower temperatures, however, were accompanied by mostly cloudy skies and intermittent light snow or freezing drizzle, especially in the eastern half of the state.
Temperatures edged up into the lower 40's in the extreme west yesterday, melting from two to four inches of snow in that area. Meanwhile, two inches of new snow piled up in the extreme northwest.
The U. S. Weather Bureau expects the moderation to continue under the same conditions for the next couple of days.
He referred to an administrator who is paid $22,000 a year, plus a free house and a car, and "free junk- kings around the country."
"He's in South America now. I think he is getting enough. We can get plenty of others as good for less," Gov. Docking said.
The governor's reference to Chancellor Murphy came as the governor defended his policy on the KU budget. Gov. Docking said he didn't cut the KU budget during the recent budget session.
"We just didn't increase it as much as some KU administrators asked for," he said.
He said he has approved increases for the school's teaching personnel, but not for its administrators.
Ike to Give Report On Latin America
PUERTO RICO — (UPI) — President Eisenhower, apparently well-recovered from a throat irritation which bothered him, got in a final round of golf today before flying home to report to the Americans on his "Operation Amigo" tour of Latin America.
The President, his son, MaJ. John Eisenhower, a White House aide; his daughter-in-law and four grandchildren took off from here about noon for Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D. C.
The chief executive had an early breakfast and left for the golf course shortly after 9 a.m. (Lawrence time) to play in a foursome that included James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary; Col. William G. Draper, the President's pilot; and Brig. Gen. Joseph J. Preston, commander of the 72nd bombardment wing and Eisenhower's host here.
Wilson Fellows To 13 Seniors
Thirteen University of Kansas seniors have been appointed Woodrow Wilson Fellows for the academic year 1960-61.
The 13 are among 1,259 superior American and Canadian students appointed after an intensive talent search for potential college teachers. Each of the Wilson Fellows will receive a stipend of $1,500 plus fees and tuition for the first year of graduate study. Married students will receive additional stipends.
The 13 KU Wilson Fellows named at KU comprise more than a third of the 38 named from students attending other Big Eight conference schools. KU students also received 13 of the 18 at Kansas institutions and 13 of 60 in the five-state region
Officials at KU attribute the disproportionate number of awards earned by students here as the product of gifted student programs begun five years ago. These programs are aimed at permitting the superior student to develop as rapidly and go

Castro Slammed For Blaming U.S.
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— An angry congressman urged today that the United States take Cuban Premier Fidel Castro "to the wood-shed" for blaming U. S. interests for a Havana ship explosion.
State Department officials said a sharp formal protest denying any U. S. involvement in the ammunition ship disaster might be forwarded today to Havana.
The State Department sources said a new crisis in already strained U.S. Cuban relations might develop from Castro's intemperate charges and Cuba's detention of Donald Chapman, 26, of North Bend, Neb., for two days without allowing him to talk with U.S. officials.
PEI Feels Small Firms Can Succeed
Mrs. William Graham
Private Enterprise, Inc., operates on the foundation that the little man in the foreign business world can make a profit.
Mrs. William Graham, speaker at the Current Events Forum, said that PEI follows the Christian business ethics in that not only does the organization wish to make a profit but it likes others to make it just as well.
Mrs. Graham and her husband William started the company in 1957 in Wichita.
This organization goes into the under-developed countries, talks to the people who are basically interested in putting their money into a small business which PEI feels has potential and will make money.
"The people we talk to are those whom we think are honest and will succeed. They must possess a certain native intelligence in business practices, and a great deal of character and ingenuity. They must be ambitious, have a little know-how, and must be willing to work 18 hours a day. Above all, they must have the same philosophy as we have," Mrs. Graham said.
When the assets of the business reach $20,000, it has the privilege of buying PEI out. This doesn't usually happen though, because most will put their profits back into it for more
FEI then chooses a business which doesn't require a lot of capital, invests one-half the amount and the remaining one-half is put up by the countryman. Mrs. Graham said.
"Sometimes we find a business which absolutely cannot make money, then the investors may withdraw."
men, advertising and machinery, she said.
For the last two years they have been trying to get a new business started in Turkey.
Mrs. Graham said that PEI has sold approximately $600,000 worth of stock.
In some countries, she said, it is difficult to start a business. A permit must be procured in some.
"We operate completely devoid of the government," she said. "We deal with the individuals on a person-to-person basis."
Mrs. Graham emphasized again that they were private enterprises—individuals working for themselves, seeing what they could produce.
"We are selling our way of life," she said.
"We want these people to like us, to learn to know us. We can all do that—and I can truthfully say, we're awfully proud of the profit system."
Private Enterprise, Inc., presently has investments in Lebanon, Pakistan, Africa, South America, and India.
Among the types of businesses are a chemical factory, a brick factory, a bakery, and a plant for manufacturing vitally needed spare parts for textile looms.
"We hope that eventually they reach a plateau when they will want to buy us out.
