Beatnik Boozers Bring Bellows
MARBLEHEAD, Mass. — (UPI) — The King's Rook, a secluded little rendezvous on historic State Street in the 330-year-old town, was under fire today from neighbors who complained of the antics of the "beatnik" patrons.
The mischievous customers we said to have parked their cars on the wrong side of the narrow, winding street leading to Marblehead's famed harbor.
A few allegedly pounded on people's doors early in the morning while others just made a lot of noise leaving the place.
Public Hearing Held
Last night local authorities held a public hearing to consider the problem. Not much was settled but a good time was had by all, according to one observer.
Selectmen chairman James N. Skinner, opened the meeting and urged the nearly 500 present to keep order. He added there were two policemen stationed at the meeting room.
Attorneys for the embattled coffee house and the sleepless Street-sters opened the session with a long discussion of zoning restrictions
$44,000 Bequest Received by KU
The KU Endowment Assn, has received a bequest of $44,463.68 from the estate of Edith M. Clarke, Eudora.
Miss Clarke was an 1895-graduate of KU and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa honor society and Kappa Alpha Theta social sorority. She was assistant to Carrie Watson in the operation of Spooner Library and later worked in the Baker University Library. She died in 1957.
One thousands dollars of the bequest will become the Edith M. Clarke fund with income providing a Clarke Lectureship in Poetry, Irvin Youngberg, secretary of the Endowment Assn, said.
Income from $500 will be used to purchase books of American poetry for Watson Library, and income from another $500 will be used for a scholarship in American history in honor of the Colonial Dames of America in Kansas.
The remaining $41,963.68 will create the Martha Cook Clarke scholarship fund honoring the donor's mother. Income will be for scholarships to KU students with "high scholarly attainments," the number and amount to be determined by the Endowment Assn.
"Miss Clarke's generosity is most appropriate at this time in that it provides concrete support for students and study in the humanities, an area that is often ignored while emphasis is being placed on subsidizing students of science and technology," Mr. Youngberg said.

"If you think it's noisy now on State Street," one weather beaten citizen chuckled, "you should have been around here 25 years ago."
The fireworks came when residents got up to speak their piece about the coffee house (capacity 35).

Red Atrocities Told By Freedom Fighter
NEW YORK — (UPI)— Bela Fabian, chairman of the Federation of Hungarian Former Political Prisoners, said today that 150 freedom fighters are being held for execution in Budapest.
Fabian, speaking on the third anniversary of the abortive revolution against the Communist government of Hungary, said 31 former freedom fighters were executed between June 15 and Sept. 1 this year.
The exiled leader also charged that "60,000 persons are imprisoned in jails and concentration camps in Hungary."
Fabian called for mass protests against Hungary's present rulers. "A chorus of strong voices can penetrate injustice," he told newsmen.
University Daily Kansan
Leland J. Pritchard, professor of economics, disagrees with the theory that the post-war rhythm of one recession every four years is taking on a definite, continuous pattern.
"Regardless of what pattern seems to have been established, there is no reason to assume that it will continue." Prof. Pritchard said in a Daily Kansan interview.
Frat Pushes Panic Button Only to Discover Joker
Orson Welles' "Martian Invasion" was re-lived Wednesday night at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house.
"Challenge" magazine said in a recent issue that some experts are looking for a business recession in 1961, and another in 1965.
The story began when Jack Gibbens, Kansas City, Mo., senior, broke the silence of study hall with this

Greeting Is Expensive
Thursday, Oct. 22, 1959
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — (UPI) — Someone sent a note to George Russo which said: "Couldn't stop to say hello, so greetings anyway."
The note was enclosed in a milk bottle which was thrown at Russo's house, shattering a $175 picture window.

solemnn announcement over the public address system;
"Attention, attention, everyone—NBC has just announced that Russia has declared war on the United States."
Doors were flung open in unison. Fifty eight men with 58 expressionless, panic-stricken faces poured into the halls and tumbled down the stairs. There was no time for thought or reason.
Then Gibbens appeared at the bottom of the stairs with a grin that told all was farce. "Jovial Jack," dripping wet and still fully clothed, stepped from the showers 40 seconds later - completely cleansed of practical joking.
Salvage Work Slumps
MONTPELIER, Vt. — (UPI) — City dump caretaker Everett Santor says that "people don't throw away what they used to." He explained: "A few years ago I was able to make from $5 to $15 a week on things I could salvage. Now I'm lucky to make a nickel."
Magazine Predicts Setback
Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without success.—Sir Winston Spencer Churchill.
"The striking similarity of fluctuation of business conditions (since 1947) ... suggests that similar setbacks will continue to follow one another at similar intervals," the magazine stated.
Prof. Pritchard disagreed with this statement by saying:
"The magazine article is based on the assumption that we are out of the recession now. I don't think we are.
"It all depends on what figures you look at. Economists agree that you're not out of a recession until less than four per cent of the gainful workers are unemployed. At present, between five and one-half and six per cent of the gainful workers are unemployed."
Depressions Are Past
Pritchard agreed with the article that big depressions are a thing of the past.
"Big depressions are associated with financial crises—liquidations in the stock market, forced sales of commodities and runs on banks.
"Because of governmental under-writing of financial institutions, we are not likely to have a financial crisis unless the people lose faith in the credit of the U.S. government. Then, we would have the crisis to end all crises."
