Right-to-Work Has Voters' Party Tag
"The amendment will cause a heavier than usual labor turnout which will be more inclined to vote Democratic." Prof. Grumm predicted.
The way a Kansas voter marks his ballot on the right-to-work amendment Nov. 4 may influence which man he will choose for governor.
This was the opinion expressed by John Grumm, professor of political science, in the Governmental Research Bulletin published by the political science department last week.
But he added, "Gov. Docking must receive a substantial number of votes from people who normally vote
For this reason he believes the right-to-work amendment will help draw Democratic voters to the polls.
"Many Kansas voters would count the Democratic candidate and his party with the opponents to the amendment, and the Republicans with the proponents," Prof. Grumm said.
Republican if he is to win the election."
Should the governor succeed himself it would be the first time in the history of Kansas a Democrat has served two consecutive terms in the office.
Prof. Grumm pointed to the increasing strength within the organization of the Democratic ranks this year. And he said Docking has been able to retain the support of the vast majority of the Democratic party.
But he also noted the large majority of Republican votes behind GOP candidate Clyde Reed Jr. in the primary. He said this is a strong indication that almost all the important elements in the Republican Party are behind the Reed candidacy.
The Republicans have done a pretty good job of healing the 1956 split in their party, too, Prof. Grumm said.
Kansas voters will elect 136 state officials and six members of the national House of Representatives in the election.
Reed and Governor Docking In Verbal Battle at Wichita
WICHITA —(UPI)—Gov. George Docking and his Republican opponent, Clyde M. Reed Jr., Parsons, staged a verbal bout on a television program here last night.
A letter from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce was produced by Reed. It stated that Docking had told the company he did not want the plant in Lawrence.
Most heated of several topics discussed was luring industries to Kansas and keeping industries in the state.
The Democratic governor cited the recent loss of Katy rail facilities and payroll in Parsons, Reed's hometown. Reed responded that Docking's words were "unfair," adding that the spirit of the citizens of Parsons "has never been broken."
Reed asked Docking about his record on a proposed four million dollar chemical plant in Lawrence. Docking appeared confused because the plant was built and is in operation.
"That's a plain falsehood," said Docking. "Who signed the letter?" Reed said it was signed by E. R. Zook, manager of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
In Lawrence this morning, Zook could not be reached for comment.
Ike's 'Radical' Charges Draw Campus Fire
Charles H. Oldfather, professor of law, says that President Eisenhower apparently is taking his cues from Vice-President Nixon in his speeches slamming the Democratic party as "left wing" and radical.
Ed Chapman, Leavenworth third-year law student and president of the KU Young Democrats, also criticized the President's speech.
Professor Oldfather, in referring to the President's speech at Los Angeles last night, said:
"I find it difficult to make an intelligent comment on irresponsible statements."
He said he was both "shattered and stunned" to discover that President Eisenhower "is subject to the same sins of error and exaggeration as are the rest of us poor mortals."
President Eisenhower in his speech that American voters must choose between "left-wing government" and the Republican party in the Nov. 4 election.
The President said that "these self-styled liberals are the ones who really challenge sane, sound. forward-looking government. It is against the spread of their radical influence that we are waging this campaign."
Prof. Oldfather said he wondered if the President "thought of Senators Humphrey (D-Minn), Douglas (D-III) and Kennedy (D-Mass) as 'left wing radicals.'"
"The President is going to have trouble getting the support in Congress he has had in the past if he

Humanities Lecture Tonight
The first Humanities lecture of the 12th annual series will be presented at 8 o'clock tonight in Fraser Theater.
Laurence C. S. Sickman, director of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art and the Atkins Museum of Fine Arts in Kansas City, Mo., will give the illustrated on "Chinese Art and the Western Humanist."
will introduce Mr. Sickman at the lecture.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy
A reception will be held by the Faculty Club at 9:15 p.m. for Mr. Sickman.
He will speak to an art history class at 9 p.m. tomorrow in the lecture room of Spooner-Thayer Art Museum, giving an illustrated lecture discussing contacts between the East and the West in art.
keeps up this kind of talk. The only things he has got through Congress has been because of Democartic support," Chapman said.
Chapman also said that he thought the President's speech was the result of a lot of "fuzzy thinking by a lot of Republicans who are panicked by the thought of losing offices in the coming elections."
The President was addressing a large crowd in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles when he made his attack on the Democratic party.
The President said that "in every session of Congress the radicals persistently try to vest more and more authority in the federal government.
Last season I urged Congress to give American workers the weapons to drive racketeers and corrupt leaders out of the labor movement, the President said. He said Republicans in Congress went all out for such a law.
"But the radical opposition killed—offering in its place a substitute far too weak to do the job. Rightly, Republicans rejected that political bait," the President said.
Aparently the President was referring to the Kennedy-Ives Bill which passed the Senate almost unanimously, but was defeated in the House. The bill was the result of work by Sen. Irving Ives (R-NY) and John F. Kennedy (D-Mass).
The President has made no mention of a "right to work" law in his speeches in Calif. Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif), who is the gubernatorial candidate in California this year, is a stout proponent of such laws. Gov. Goodwin Knight, Republican governor of California, who is running for the state's senate seat, is opposed to the proposed law which would prohibit compulsory union membership as a job requirement.
Weight to Throw Around
Sport Cars Use More Than 25 Cents
The sports-car driver at KU needs more than a quarter if he wants to park in the Kansas Union parking lot.

Others who can not go through, go under. An MG convertible can drive under the control arm which was designed to take care of heavy, high American cars.
Saturday's Royalty First of Long Line
We're speaking of queens, the kind we have at KU, of course. What else comes in such mounting numbers?
Two down and more than a dozen left to go!
The Student Union Carnival queen and her attendants and the Senior Calendar queen and runners-up are just the beginning. Already candidates have been nominated for a homecoming queen. And she'll have two attendants also.
We began handing out crowns Saturday—two of them. And this really started something.
In December we find we aren't the grown-up kiddies we had supposed—or on second thought maybe we are. We trade in our Santa Claus for a Miss Santa.
The month will not get tar before the military men test their eye. A queen and two more attendants reign over the ROTC Christmas formal.
By now we've nominated every candidate in every sorority, scholarship hall and independent dormitory twice. And we can forget about such dreadful thoughts at housemeetings.
But not for long, because spring soon arrives. And we've got to begin all over again.
This time the Jayhawker has to be represented with royalty. And the GOPs find time for something pleasant now that elections are over. So we begin another round of nominations.
The lawyers must have a queen, too, and the engineers are not to be outdone. And so it is with the Air Force ROTC and the Greeks during Greek Week.
We crown another queen to reign over the Kansas Relays along with four attendants. Then we send another off to Drake University to compete for a title at the Relies there.
This business even gets down to departments with Miss Industrial Design. And perhaps there are others. If not, there will be by the end of the year.
But let's be glad it's "reigning" beauty.
