Murphy Asks Opinion On University Records
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy is going to ask the Kansas attorney general, John Anderson Jr., for a definition of the state statute requiring the opening of public records.
This is the chancellor's answer to the All Student Housing Committee's request that it be shown the University files on Sunnyside finances.
The Housing Committee uncovered the statute, which says that anyone who refuses to show public records or holds them from the public is subject to dismissal from office and conviction of a misdemeanor.
Should the attorney general tell the chancellor that University files are public records according to law, and in accordance with the statute, the chancellor then will open every University file to any student or group interested in reading them, he said yesterday.
The chancellor said many KU files are considered confidential. If one file is opened to the public, he said, then someone is certain to clamor for others, including confidential files.
The student housing group was refused the Sunnyside files both by Chancellor Murphy and J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories.
Stanton Wins 34th Annual Problems Speaking Contest
Roger Stanton, Marysville junior, won first place in the 34th annual Campus Problems Speaking Contest last night.
He spoke on "Student Indifference." Patsy Long, Troy freshman, was second with a speech entitled, "Problem Instructors." William Schmidt, Independence junior, the third-place winner, spoke on "Sunnside."
"This is our society. We don't think anymore; we memorize." Stanton said. "Our campus problems are trite. The key to our problems is indifference. We, as students, reflect our environment."
He accused the University of stifling our imagination by treating us as babies and telling us when to come in at night. The city of Lawrence lacks imagination, also, he said.
KU students spend nine million dollars annually in Lawrence,but the merchants do not provide enough night spots or movies,he said,adding that all the city provides is high prices.
The solution to the problem of indifference? "What we must do is change the trend from the treadmill of apathy to thought and knowledge," Stanton ssid.
Judges in the finals were: Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women; Miss Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech; Lynn Osborn, instructor of speech, and John Knightly, graduate student in speech.
Brad Lashbrook, graduate assistant in speech, was in charge of the contest.
George Accuses Scrivner Of 'Hypocrisy' on School Aid
Newell A. George, Democratic Congressional candidate from the second district, yesterday charged his opponent, E. P. Scrivner, with "hypocrisy" in Scrivner's statement favoring federal aid to education.
In an interview with The Daily Kansan, Mr. George said:
"My opponent voted on four different occasions against the bill for federal aid to education. He even voted against the bill in a modified form.
"But now, he makes statements that he is for federal aid. This is the highest form of hypocrisy."
Mr. George denied Scrivner's statement that he was under the heel of labor bosses. He pointed out that labor leaders had been against him in the primary.
Mr. George came out strongly against the right to work amendment. He said the danger in voting on the amendment at this time was that voters would possibly be influenced to vote for the amendment because of recent disclosures about crooked union leaders.
"Instead of bringing amendment three before the people, the leaders in Congress should have passed the Kennedy-Ives bill," he said.
"This bill was the answer to racketeering in unions," Mr. George explained. The right to work amendment would only serve to break up unions, he said.
NEWELL A. GFORGE
The Republicans did not take a stand on the amendment because they were afraid of losing votes, he said.
"It is the Republican nature to be evasive on an issue of this kind."
Mr. George was asked to characterize his opponent. He said Scrivner is:
He said he called his opponent sugar-coated because Scrivner was continually voting against needed legislation, and then attempting to disguise his record before the public.
"A sugar-coated, reactionary old guard."
He said Scrivner "had a habit of voting 'no' on everything before Congress, unless the President wanted a particular piece of legislation passed."
George said his opponent had voted against admitting Alaska to the union, and against a bill for reciprocal trade, in addition to siding against the aid to education measures.
U.S. Will Not Attack Mao
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has pledged that the United States will neither attack Communist China nor "tolerate attacks" against the Red Chinese government.
His surprising statement was included in an interview with british independent television. It was filmed last Thursday for a telecast today. The interview took place before Dulles' just-concluded talks with Chiang Kai-Shek on Formosa.
"We are not going to attack or tolerate attacks against the Chinese Communists, but when they attack then I think we have to stand firm," Dulles asid.
"If we don't, I think that there will be a breach in the line...and that whole position of the free world in the Western Pacific will be lost," he added.
Dulles' statement presumably meant the United States would not tolerate the use of force by the Nationalist Chinese in trying to regain control of the mainland.

In today's communique on the Dulles-Chiang talks, the Nationalist leader held firm to his long-cherished hope of regaining control of the mainland but promised not to use force.
13th Attempt to Launch U.S. Satellite Fails
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—(UPI)America's 13th attempt to launch a satellite ended in failure early today because of "some difficulty with the upper stages" of its launching vehicle.
The Army disclosed it gave up hope that the "Beacon" balloon satellite had orbited only two hours and 40 minutes after its Jupiter-C launcher blasted off late last night.
Brig, Gen. John A. Barclay, commander of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at Huntsville, Ala., said there was "some difficulty with the upper stages" of the launching vehicle, but "we haven't determined precisely what went wrong."
Dr. Jack Froehlich of the jet propulsion laboratories at the California Institute of Technology said that the transmitter in the payload "started giving abnormal signals after about 110 seconds, but we don't know whether this was caused by difficulties in the transmitter or the rocket."
It was the 12th satellite launching attempt since the first Navy Vanguard blew up just off the launching pad last Dec. 7. If the gleaming inflatable balloon had gone into orbit, Americans would have been able to point to a man-made moon that rivaled in brilliance "the stars of the Big Dipper."
