Highway to Kill Kaw Valley RR
BONNER SPRINGS — (UPI) — The last of the old interurban lines that once linked outlying sections of the Kansas City metropolitan area appeared today to be headed for oblivion.
Employees of the Kansas City Kaw Valley Railroad were notified last night that it has petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to abandon the line, after 47 years of operations between here and Kansas City.
Demise of the line was speeded by progress in the form of plans for a superhighway for which the road bed would supply space for two lanes. Employees were told that the state of Kansas has agreed to pay the company $250,000 plus an amount not exceeding $30,000 to be used as severance pay for employees.
Former Premier Injured in Fall
METZ, France — (UPI) — Former Premier Robert Schuman, a hardy 74-year-old, was reported in "satisfactory condition" today at the hospital where he was taken after spending Tuesday night in the open in bitter cold rain.
Schuman, known as "the father of United Europe," tumbled into a hole while walking on his grounds at Scy-Chazelles late Tuesday afternoon.
He was unable to get up and spent the near-freezing night holding his hat over his head until a passerby found him drenched and numb with cold at 8:30 a.m. yesterday.
Good Old Days Gone-
Book Tells U.S.Economic Life
By Kelly Smith
"The Wastemakers" pulls together a great deal of information about the phenomenon of American economic behavior, the capitalistic behavior to which most of us are accustomed.
This is the opinion of Francis Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Dean Heller spoke at the Modern Book Review Forum yesterday.
AFTER JOKINGLY assuring his listeners that he had indeed read Vance Packards' book, Dean Heller, who is also a professor of political science, explained that it was written almost solely for effect.
"Packard is an interesting narrator who points out the planned stimulation of economic consumption at a time when there would appear to be no drive or need for the commodity."
Dean Heller added that this was the same type of thing the author stressed in his books, "Hidden Persuaders," and "Status Seekers." In other words, it was an expansion of previously expressed ideas.
Goff to Attend Theater Congress
Lewin A. Goff, associate professor of speech and drama, director of the University Theater, will be one of six American delegates to the ninth International Congress on the Theater in Vienna, Austria from June 5-10.
Prof. Goff led an eight-week tour of KU's production of Brigadoon in the Far East last summer.
"THE SOLUTION of this well planned economy seems to be education," Dean Heller said, "without taxes."
Did We Win or Not?...
FRANCIS HELLER
"... they won't come back."
He went on to explain that the book gives priority to the virtues of the "good old days," and is an appeal to sentimentality.
Dean Heller then returned to Packard's solution of going back to the "good old days," and commented, "I'm not convinced that a return to what used to be is feasible, or will solve the problem.
"The book includes a lot of finger pointing and a lot of finger shaking. But perhaps it's good if the public at large needs it called to their attention."
"However, it's safe to refer to the 'good old days' because they won't come back, and we all know it."
This appeal is overly acceptable because of its easy solution to the problems confronting the twentieth century economy, Dean Heller said.
"PACKARD is definitely a determinist, and the only way to combat the matter is for human nature to be regenerated.
