Students Admit Battery Theft
Three KU students were arrested around 3 a.m. Saturday on a charge of petty larceny. They admitted the theft of a car battery from Lewis parking lot.
Bill Fricke, senior and head cheerleader for the University, and Lynn Stacey, freshman, both of Jefferson City, Mo., and Sam Mankin. Enid, Okla., freshman, were apprehended after a night watchman reported to the campus police that some men were prowling around the lot. He gave them a description of the prowlers' car.
Patrolmen stopped the car occupied by Fricke, Stacey and Mankin They found a battery, owned by James Foresman, Oklahoma City senior, in their possession.
Saturday morning, the three were sentenced to ten days in jail after they entered a plea of guilty.
They are now out of jail on bond pending an appeal.
'Trapped Sub Escapes
PUERTO MADRYN, Argentina — (UPI)—High Naval sources said today they feared one of two mysterious foreign submarines believed trapped in the Golfo Nuevo for two weeks now has escaped because it has been undetected for 24 hours.
There was no indication of what may have happened to the second submarine reported in the area.
The pessimism was exposed even as another "all-out" sea and air attack was in preparation against the mysterious interloper and a second submarine reported in the gulf waters 650 miles southwest of Buenos Aires.
Another confusing element was injected into the situation today when the newspaper Jornada reported that a mystery radio station had been heard transmitting in code in the Gulfo Nuevo region in recent months.
The Navy cancelled officers' leaves in southern Argentina as the hunt was stepped-up for the elusive sub, or subs, which already have been the object of depth-bombing attacks.
Newmen watching the scene from the shoreline of the last presumed site of the submarine said the area was littered with dead fish and dead penguins.
Sen. Andrew Schoeppel "Republicans never fought the schools."
No American citizen should have any objection to signing a loyalty oath, said U.S. Senator Andrew Schoeppel (R-Kan) in an interview after a Lincoln Day banquet Friday night.
Schoeppel Backs Loyalty Oaths
"The officers and men of our armed forces take it, as do other civil servants. I cannot understand why any citizen of these United States of America should object to signing such an oath."
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy recently declared the loyalty oath clause "unnecessary and improper" in regard to student loans. The National Defense Education Act requires a student to sign a loyalty oath and a non-communist adjudict before becoming eligible for a federal loan.
"I take that oath as a Senator," the senator said.
Philbrick Says Reds Seek Youth
The U.S. Senate failed to pass a recent amendment to the bill which
The Communist party has launched a full-scale membership drive aimed at America's youth, said Herbert Philbrick, author of "I Led Three Lives," in a speech at the Eldridge Hotel Saturday night.
"The Communists aren't seeking candidates for party membership among the poor and downtrodden," said Mr. Philbrick, who spent nine years in the Communist party as a counterspy for the FBI.
"They want the finest young people, the best young brains they can get, to form the hard core of the Communist criminal conspiracy."
Mr. Philbrick recalled his two years as a member of the Young Communist League. He said the League recruits included many college students, and described the "brainwashing" administered them by party instructors:
"When those young people first came to the cell meetings, they weren't Communists. They were loyal to their families, loyal to their country. They were only confused in their thinking.
"But they were also loyal to their God, and that," said Mr.
Docking's Building Plan Veto Supported by Young Demos
Governor George Docking had good reason to veto the emergency building program bill sent to him last week by the state legislature, according to some Young Democrats polled Friday.
The buildings required should be financed out of the building fund, which is supported by a state levy, said Jack Sullivan, third-year law student from Lawrence. He also suggested that the veto was justified because it was discriminatory.
Don W. Lill, Emporia freshman, admitted the bill will slow down construction of new engineering facilities for KU and agreed the veto may have stemmed from failure to include all state colleges and universities as recipients.
Weather
"It would have been unfair to have passed it. As it is, there'll only be a nine-month difference in time before the funds are made available."
Light snow ending extreme southeast and partial clearing east this afternoon. Partly cloudy west this afternoon and over state tonight and Tuesday. Scattered light snow northeast Tuesday. Warmer west this afternoon and east portion Tuesday. Colder east tonight. Low tonight 15 west to 20 east. High Tuesday 35 to 45.
advise him on matters such as this,' said Graham.
"Two schools weren't in on' it — Pittsburg and Emporia," said Sullivan, who was in Topeka when the bill was debated.
"I feel the governor knows more of the implications in this bill than any of us here," said Edward Graham, Belleville third-year law student and president of the campus Young Democrats.
"He (the governor) was following the recommendations of the regents, an advisory body whose job is to
The bill called for $3.9 million to accelerate planned building expansion at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Ft. Hays State College.
Philbrick, pounding his fist on the banquet table, "that had to be changed."
Beginning with the substitution of materialism for belief in God, said the former counterspy, the Communists proceeded to change loyal Americans into "some strange sort of animal."
"Don't underestimate the influence of one highly skilled, highly trained and highly indoctrinated member of the Communist International." Mr. Philbrick warned his audience.
He estimated that there are 10.000 such agents operating in the United States today.
One answer to the "Communist criminal conspiracy" in the teaching of Communist theory in its true meaning in our high schools and colleges, asserted Mr. Philbrick. He charged that we know
too little about Communism to combat it effectively.
"This is the newest Communist line for public consumption," he said.
Mr. Philbrick branded the recent Russian emphasis on "peaceful co-existence" a further attempt to "tranquilize America."
"The official policy now requires the party to avoid taking any action which might upset the United States. If we can be duped into believing that co-existence is possible, Communism will be advanced still further."
Harvard and Yale Universities do not participate in the federal loan program because of the loyalty oath clause. President Eisenhower and the American Council on Education also stand opposed to the measure, which remains a hotly debated issue in Washington.
Mr. Philbrick told his audience, the Lawrence Knife and Fork Club, that events in Cuba and the recent wave of anti-Semitism throughout the world are examples of the Communist conspiracy in action today.
would have removed the disclaimer affidavit.
Sen. Schoepel said he had witnessed newly naturalized citizens pledge their allegiance to the United States and sign a loyalty oath.
"When you see how eager they are to become citizens and how willingly and gratefully they undertake the responsibilities of citizenship, you wonder how some native Americans can make objection to signing," he said.
Asked whom he thought would be the Democratic presidential nominee, Sen Schoeppel indicated that Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) is receiving strong support.
"Kennedy appears to be running well," said the Senator, brandishing a cigar.
Sen. Schoepel was enthusiastic about vice-president Richard Nixon's candidacy. He said that if Nixon were elected the Republican party might be able to capture a majority in the House of Representatives.
"But Johnson has deep strength in areas few even in Washington realize. The majority leader is an immensely powerful man. Don't underrate him."
"But a Republican majority in the Senate—no, that's virtually a mathematical impossibility," he said.
Before his interview with the Daily Kansas, Sen Schoeppel addressed a gathering of 350 at the banquet. He attacked the Democratic party record and criticized Gov. George Docking's conflict with higher education in Kansas.
In listing the accomplishments of previous Republican governors, Sen. Schoepel departed from his prepared text to say:

Ise Cites the 'Wall Writing': U.S. Wasteful, Materialistic
John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, read the handwriting on the wall to Americans Friday.
The word he saw was TEKEL. "It means you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting."
Speaking at the International Club meeting in the Kansas Union, he said that people of all countries have about the same basic qualities. There are some differences, however, he said.
Americans Wasteful
"Basically Americans are wasteful. We thought our natural resources would last forever. We're now finding out they won't. But because we had an abundance, we said, Waste it!
"We said, Here is something useful, let's waste it. Here is something alive, let's kill it."
Speaking of Americans in general, he said:
"Americans often are accused of being materialistic. This is true.
"It has reached the place where you can't even have a church service without it being sponsored by some soap firm."
Greener Pastures Sought
Prof. Ise said there are enough cars in Kansas alone to get everyone out of the state in two hours.
"We have cars because Americans never were satisfied with the places they lived. They were always looking for something better."
Americans always have preferred pushing a foot pedal to reading a good book, Prof. Ise said.
Great Boosters
"Americans lack sophistication, because we haven't needed to know much. In the past we were isolated. America doesn't know how to handle foreign affairs because it hasn't had any experience in them" he said.
The pioneers bought land in the frontier not to live on, but to boost the price and sell the land when it became more valuable, he said.
Prof. Ise related that when he was out in western Kansas a short time back, he talked to a native who said Kansas was a corn state. Not being able to see any corn, Prof. Ise asked a second native if Kansas was a corn state. The second native correctly told him that it was not.
"If you are an American you
Thereupon the former native replied, "If I weren't willing to boost my own state, I'd shut up."
Students Informal
must be a booster. Even Vice President Nixon says you must be one. He says to answer rumors of Russian superiority by saying 'That's no way to be—America first, to hell with the facts.' Prof. Ise said.
Changing the topic to education, Prof. Ise stated that he did not believe that the American student was disrespectful.
"It's just that we're informal" he said.
Prof. Ise gave an illustration:
"One day when I was wearing a bright red tie, I met a couple of beautiful coeds. Without formal introduction, one of them took hold of my tie and told me my tongue was hanging out."
When he told the story to a professor from Germany, the professor from Germany told Prof. Ise that in Germany the girls would have been expelled and he would have been censured.
"I do not know what for unless it was for not beating them up." Prof. Ise commented.
In conclusion Prof. Ise said:
"I think America is the most socially democratic country in the world."
