John Anderson Tops Docking in City Poll
Republican gubernatorial candidate John Anderson holds almost a two to one lead over Democratic incumbent Gov. George Docking according to a Daily Kansan random poll taken today among Lawrence residents.
Republican Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel who is seeking re-election held a lead over his opponent Frank Theis of Arkansas City.
Robert Ellsworth, Lawrence attorney and Republican candidate for congressman from the second district, led incumbent Newell A. George.
Forty-five Lawrence residents were interviewed in the poll. Results are:
Results are:
Governor—Anderson 22; Docking 12.
U. S. Senator—Schoeppel 22; Theis 9.
Congressman—Ellsworth 20. George 11.
Undecided—14
THE RESULTS showed Gov. Docking lagging behind in his home town but other Democratic candidates also trailed in their respective races.
One reason for the governor's unpopularity in Lawrence may be due to his consistent attacks on higher education and KU. Another factor is that the northeast section of Kansas is considered to be one of Attorney General Anderson's strongholds. He is from Olathe.
MANY OF THE VOTERS questioned in the poll stated they were undecided as to the candidate they would vote for. One resident said he was a registered Republican but would vote for Gov. Docking. Most citizens questioned said they were certain about whom they would vote for in the governor's race. They said they wanted to get better acquainted with the candidates for the other positions.
Mobutu Charges Lumumba Requested Russian Aid
LEOPOLDVILLE — (UPI) — The Congolese council set up by strongman Col. Joseph Mobutu released documents tonight alleging that ousted Premier Patrice Lumumba's government had appealed to Russia and Communist China for direct aid in arms and "volunteers."
The council also released a photostat of a long letter allegedly written by Ghana President Kwame Nkrumah to his "brother" Lumumba advising him in detail on how to win in the present struggle for power with President Joseph Kasavubu, and how to deal with the United Nations.
SUA Interviews Tonight, Tomorrow
The SUA will hold interviews for the chairmen of music and forum committees at 7:00 tonight in the SUA director's office of the Kansas Union.
A meeting for selecting chairmen of the homecoming committee will be held at 7:00 tomorrow in 305A in the Kansas Union.
The president of the Leopoldville provincial government predicted meanwhile that civil war would break out in the capital between followers of Lumumba and Kasavubu within one week unless their bitter quarrel was settled before-hand.
The provincial premier, Cleophares Kamitatu, declared at a news conference that he had appealed to the United Nations today to put troops at his disposal to maintain order in this tense capital.
A spokesman for the council of high commissioners, Mario Cardoso, said Lumumba's alleged appeal blasted Ghana for wanting to "colonize the Congo." He said Lumumba wanted to denounce "colonization of blacks by blacks."

Danes Propose Change In Disarmament Talks
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(UPI)
Denmark today proposed complete reorganization of disarmament negotiations and offered for international inspection its possession of Greenland where the United States has a major base at Thule.
The proposal was put before the General Assembly by Danish foreign minister Jens Otto Krag. He did not spell out details for his proposed new disarmament commission except to call for an expert study of adequately controlled arms reductions measures.
His proposal raised a problem for the United States which has an important military network in Greenland as well as the main base at Thule. But since the United States already has offered to open Arctic areas under its control to mutual inspection with Russia, Washington was not expected to oppose Krag's plan.
Krag made his proposal as Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev pushed ahead with his hope to reorganize the United Nations along his own lines despite a succession of stinging defeats in the current General Assembly.
to be done in the disarmament problem is to agree specifically on the military and scientific personnel who would participate in a study of arms controls measures.
He said the size of the committee did not matter but said, "What really matters is this: the committee should be able to work efficiently. Therefore it must comprise the major military powers of the world."
Krag said it also would be useful if some "mediating element could be introduced through participation of countries outside the major groupings of powers. The introduction of such an element might well bring new impetus to the negotiations."
Krag said one of the first things
Krag also threw Denmark's support behind Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjojd in his handling of the Congo crisis.
Khrushchev, holding major conferences this morning with President Titi Yugoslavia, was a late arrival today. British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India already were seated when he arrived
Bulgarian Communist Party boss Todor Zhikov challenged the United States to give aid to dependent countries "with no strings" attached.
Motorcade and Pep Rally Set For Tomorrow
A motorcade and pep rally, sponsored by the Men's Residence Association and the KuKu's, will be held tomorrow evening in preparation for Saturday's football game with Syracuse.
Details of the event were explained to the KuKu's by a representative of the MRA last night at a meeting of the KuKu's.
The motorcade will start at Templin and Joseph R. Pearson Halls at 6:30 and proceed around the campus stopping at dormitories, sororities, and fraternities, covering as much of the campus as possible.
It will then go to parking zone "O." across from the fieldhouse, where the pep clubs and cheer leaders will lead a pep rally with dancing and cheering.
Coach Mitchell and two of the varsity football players will add to the rally with a few words about the team.
Everyone is welcome to join the motorcade.
Last night's meeting also included the welcoming of 15 rushees and the explanation of the reason for a pep club, as well as the discussion of future plans.
Walt Brauer, Bonner Springs senior and president of the club, told the prospective members the function and purpose of the pen club.
Further discussion covered the organization's activities for the KU-Syracuse game as well as plans for the selling of parents' tickets for the game.
Brauer expressed his hope that the turnout and enthusiasm of the students will be the best ever, and said that the pep clubs will be doing all in their power to give the team added encouragement.

KU-Y Debate Changes Audience Opinion
The majority in an audience of 100 students changed their opinions last night in the course of an English-style debate held in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
A show of hands by the audience prior to the debate showed that a slim majority of students had a negative attitude toward
C. D. Johnson listens skeptically...
the proposition that "emphasis on technological advancement has dwarfed western man's moral stature."
Opinion Changed
But after persuasive speaking by Harry J. Shaffer, assistant professor of economics, and Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science, the majority switched to the affirmative.
Henry Weidner, instructor of English, who opposed the proposition during the debate, said the reason the affirmative won was that everyone who agreed with the negative had gone home.
Prof. Shaffer was the first speaker. He defended his position by saying that although technological advancement has opened new vistas for man, it has increased slavery and a mass unemployment.
C. Dale Johnson, instructor of sociology, also opposed the issue. Franklyn C. Nelick, associate professor of English, was moderator.
Unemployment Problem
"Man has become the servant of a machine in a factory dominated world," Prof. Shaffer said.
As an example of this desire for productive supremacy, he cited the United States economic war with Russia.
"When Khrushchev visited the United States did we introduce him to our great painters, our artists, our composers?" Prof. Shaffer asked. Did we show him our museums, our centers of culture? No! We showed him our giant super markets and our bowling alleys with automatic pin setters. We introduced him to businessmen."
Mr. Weidner, in opposition to the proposition, said that man still has his religious beliefs.
"The vast majority of men who have advanced technologically have some type of religion." he said.
KU Has Interest
As an example of this he cited the high KU enrollment in "Life and Teachings of Jesus," and the interest in religious existentialism.
Machines tax humanity highly, he explained, but at man's death he is left only his spiritual values.
Prof. Sandelius in his rebuttal said, "this is an age dominated by the technological mind."
There is a pragmatic attitude toward values, he explained. People consider first the benefits they will derive and this destroys overriding values.
"Technological emphasis has caused confusion of the meaning of life, resulting in moral confusion. Man has lost sight of moral values. Technology has become a religion to many people and an end in itself," Prof. Sandelius said.
Mr. Johnson made the concluding remarks for the negative stand by emphasizing that sin is no invention of our time.
He explained that sin began in the Garden of Eden and has always been with man, dwarfing his moral stature. But man has tended to forget this and has blamed his shortcomings on technology.
"Man still has a moral stature of very high quality. He has a tendency to create both artistically and scientifically.
"Man can still find it in his goodness to help the mentally and physically ill, the disabled, the criminal, and those who have prejudice forces against them—no matter what the race or religion may be. Man still has the capacity to act as a free individual. Basically, man still knows what actions are right." Mr. Johnson said,
tions are right," Mr. Johnson said. The debate was sponsored by the KU-Y and was the 5th in a series of debates on contemporary intellectual issues. Each man stated his position and there was no formal rebuttal. The discussion was open to the floor at the conclusion of the debate.
