Writes New Book -
KU Staffer Eyes Space Age Tasks
An up-to-date angle with a solid look to the future is the primary concern of James Gunn, assistant director of public relations.
Mr. Gunn is the author of a book of five science fiction stories which has just been released.
The paper-back edition, "Station in Space," concerns the psychological and physical problems of putting man into outer space, a subject which is of primary interest today.
JAMES GUNN
"There is an underlying theme throughout the five stories." Mr. Gunn said. "It is the inevitable ending of man's search for the realms of outer space.
"Man will go into space for wrong reasons and find the unexpected. However, this is justified because it is what we must do as the men of today and tomorrow."
"The quest of outer space is all voyaging and all-exploring," Mr. Gunn said. "I have tried to bring
2 New TV Cameras Discussed at Meeting
PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. — (UPI) — Two new type television cameras, one which can transmit X-ray images with a large reduction in danger of radiation, and another which can show living cancer cells, now are under development, Johnson County members of the American Cancer Society were told last night.
The sun shines in San Francisco 66 of every possible 100 hours.
Dr. Davis S. Ruhe of the Kansas University Medical Center, told the members the cameras may be a major instrument in revealing the cause of cancer.
out all of the problems and obstacles in my writings."
"Station in Space" is Mr. Gunn's favorite work. Since the beginning of his writing career in 1948, the author has had two similar novels and more than 50 short stories of a science fiction nature published.
"I have always had an interest in science fiction and the excitement and promise which it holds," he said. "However, I am trying to write from an angle that will bring science back from the realm of the unbelievable to the possible and immediate steps of the future."
Gunn received his B.A. degree in Journalism from Kansas University in 1947 and his M.A. degree in English from KU in 1951.
He became managing editor of the KU alumni magazine in 1955. This July he left that position to begin work in the public relations department.

years of my successor, "Truman said, "The budget has shown a surplus in two years only, and the net deficit for the period—until fiscal 1959—is over six billion dollars."
"I am not saying that this is necessarily bad," he said, "but it does explode a myth...It is my feeling that if the press were really to inform itself, it would have to look into the whole question of public spending and taxing, and its place in our economy."
The average reader believes the new deal was "wildly extravagant." Truman said, but the biggest budget in a non-war year during the New Deal was eight and a half billion dollars, compared to the present Eisenhower budget of 74 billion dollars.

All students are eligible to apply.
About the subject of federal expenditures, Truman said, the average newspaper reader has built up in his mind "a number of fantastic myths" because he has not been given adequate public information.
The myth persists that democrats never balance the budget, but Republicans always do, Truman said, yet "over the four peacetime fiscal years between 1946 and 1951, the budget ran a net surplus of over four billion dollars."
Applications should include a summary of previous Campus Chest work, class standing, over-all grade point average, and a list of other extra-curricular activities.
The New York State Thruway Authority suggests that drivers stop regularly, at least every two hours. as a safety measure.
In a speech prepared for delivery at a New York Advertising Club luncheon celebrating the 50th anniversary of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Truman said the press has the job of informing the people but "this is not always the same thing as 'getting the news.'"
Truman Urges Press To Clear Up Tax Mess
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Former President Truman urged newsmen today to "take a good look at the whole question of spending and taxing" and inform their readers "it is not a simple game of the bad guys in public office who spend money and good guys who don't."
