SEEING THE WORLD—Jimmy Bedford former instructor of journalism, talks to natives in the
Belgian Congo on his photographic tour of the world. (He took this photograph himself.)
Former KU Instructor 'Photographs World'
A former instructor at the William Allen White School of Journalism is "photographically touring" the world on a financial shoe-string.
Jimmy Bedford, who taught news photography from 1954 to 1958, left for his globe-circling trip more than a year ago. He is a native of Columbia, Mo., and a graduate of the University of Missouri. He is paying for most of his trip by photography.
On the first leg of his journey, he became a "ship's photographer" on a Dutch line steamer from New York to London, where he worked for a newspaper, the "Pictorial." He attended the Brussels World's Fair and visited Wetzler, Germany, where the Leiea camera is manufactured, and Stuttgart, the home of the Kodak Reina.
In one of the articles sent to a large regional newspaper during the last year, Bedford described the 1958 "Photokina" in Cologne. He said he was "dazzled" by the displays of 524 camera manufacturers from all over the world.
Bedford continued his photographic tour with a coverage of a reindeer roundup in the Scandinavian countries. He traveled in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and along the western coast of Africa.
Bedford travels light on motor scooter excursions from various centers. He carries a knapsack for his clothes and two suitcases--one a portable darkroom and the other for his photographic equipment.
While in Africa, he wrote for the Ghana Daily Graphic and the NIgerian Sunday Times. He also writes feature articles, illustrated with his photographs, for United States newspapers, particularly Sunday news feature sections.
In one article he wrote that instead of the expected feeling in the countries he toured of "Go home, Yank," he received "Hospitality Unlimited." He plans to return to the States about Christmas time, but before his return, he hopes to "cover" the eastern countries and end with a tour of Alaska and Canada.
No Rain Forecast; Some Rivers Rise
TOPEKA—(UPI)—The rain has finally quit in Kansas, it appears today.
The U.S. Weather Burcaud said most of the state could look forward to some sunshine today. Most parts of the state will also be warmer, according to forecaster Richard Garrett.
Rain continued through Wednesday, especially in southeast Kansas, soaking the ground and leaving rivers full.
The Marais de Cygne River crested at a little more than half-bankful at Ottawa and Quenemo.
The Neosho went out of its banks at Oswego and was full at all other points.

Patrol Recruits In KUTraining
The patrolmen will be on the campus until Sept. 20. They have passed extensive screening tests, which were taken by about 300 applicants, and must pass training in Kansas history, law, court procedure, fire arms, accident investigation, handling of evidence, public relations, geography, physical fitness and defense tactics.
Classes begin at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday. The recruits finish about 9 p.m.
The fifth day of intensive training begins this morning for 21 recruit highway patrolmen at the University of Kansas.
The University has been the training center for five years, after having been moved here from Hutchinson because of facilities available on the campus.
Conducting the classes under Patrol Capt. Allen C. Rush are KU faculty members, lawyers, fellow officers and representatives of both the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Homer Longdorf, program coordinator and member of the University Extension staff, said one aspect of training will be a staged motorcar crash. Recruits will go to the scene, investigate, and follow the case to its conclusion in a mock trial a few days later.
On the practice range, patrolmen must pass marksmanship firing with 38 pistols, riot guns and high power 30 caliber rifles.
The program is compulsory for recruits.

Starlight's 'New Moon' Stars Earl Wrightson
Baritone Earl Wrightson and Jan McArt headline the cast of Sigmund Romberg's "New Moon," opening Monday, July 20, at 8:15 p.m. for a one-week run at Kansas City's outdoor Starlight Theatre.
The musical highlights some of Romberg's best loved melodies, including "Lover Come Back to Me," "Stout Hearted Men," "Softly, as in a Mountain Sunrise," "Wanting You." "One Kiss" and other songs from the pen of the master musician of the 1900-1938 period.
The Romberg show, with book by Oscar Hammerstein II, Frank Mandel and Lawrence Schwab, is set in the New Orleans of 1792, and spotlights music and more music in the delightful show.
Comedian Eddie Bracken, popular singer Johnny Desmond and comedienne Jane Kean play through Sunday night, July 19, in the new comedy about a musical, "Say, Darling," written by Richard Bissell, author of the highly successful "The Paiama Game."
Wrightson, one of the pioneers in early television productions, is one of the most famous baritones in the business today. He was the star of his own network show for three years, with Paul Whiteman on his television show for three years and in the Broadway revival of "New Moon" in 1944 with Dorothy Kirsten.
Co-starring with Wrightson in the Starlight production, Jain McArt is no stranger to audiences in the Midwest. She won excellent notices during the 1958 season here for her roles in "Fanny" and "The Most Happy Fella."
His familiar beard has become a trademark of sorts and he recently has recorded several high fidelity albums for Columbia records among them a recent release this past May titled "An Evening with Sigmund Romberg" with the Percy Faith orchestra.
Miss McArt, a soprano, has been hailed as an outstanding artist by New York and Los Angeles critics, who have classified her as "adorable," "a glorious voice, with beauty
to match" and a "revelation of lovely vocalism."
Rounding out the principals in the production, which will present a cast of 50 singers and dancers, are Richard France, Chele Graham and Gloria LeRoy.
Miss LeRoy has been described as another Charlotte Greenwood, for the long-legged dancer-comedienne has the loose limbed qualities of that famous personality. She has toured with Olson and Johnson and takes the role of the overpowering Clotilde in the Romberg classic.
France, seen as Huck Finn in the Starlight's production of the new musical "Tom Sawyer," is a versatile dancer and singer who takes the comedy role of Alexander, Miss Graham making her first Starlight appearance, plays Julie in the show. She is a native Texan and a noted Broadway dancer and comedienne.
Starlight Theatre officials consider the show one of the finest musicals to play the theater this season, and have reported a heavy advance sale. The demand for tickets is attributed to the popularity of the songs and the fine voices in the production.
