KU PREVIEW—Dean of Men Donald K. Alderson talks to a group of future students at the KU previews in room 306 in the Student Union Building. One of six such events during the summer, the preview is a series of examinations for high school graduates who plan to attend KU in September.
Sick Bats Offer Little Danger
Finding rabies in bats in Kansas is no occasion for special alarm. This is the opinion of E. Raymond Hall, chairman of the department of zoology.
Dr. Hall advises that it is wise to avoid being bitten by a bat or by any kind of animal because infection may result. It is reasonable to suppose that all mammals can contract rabies and bats are no more likely to contract the disease than other mammals.
Since a public health worker found a bat with rabies four years ago, vast sums of money have been spent to learn how widespread the disease is among bats, Dr. Hall said.
Both the fecal and the hoary bat raise families from late June to August in the Midwest. Mother bats fly out each evening to obtain their daily food which consists of night flying insects.
Young Bats Hitch-Hike
Young bats cling to their mother's fur and take free rides. The young grow rapidly and by July the two or three offspring weigh more than the mother.
Although adapted to support great weight while flying, the mother bats sometimes lose their
hold on twigs while hanging in shade trees during the day. That is why mother bats with young attached are found on lawns in the summer months. Dr. Hall said.
If left alone, most of these mothers climb back up a tree trunk to a position from which they can take flight the next evening, he said. Dr. Hall recommends using leather gloves to avoid possible bites when it is necessary to handle a bat.
Texas accounted for slightly more than 50 per cent of the nation's marketed natural gas production in 1956.
Intellectuals, leaders of some small fellow-travelling political parties which are still tolerated, even Communist party members, started criticising enthusiastically.
Apparently to his surprise, a lot of people in China took him at his word.
"Let a hundred flowers bloom—let a hundred schools of thought contend," Mao said in inviting criticism.
Prof. Ko Pei-Chi, a lecturer in literature at Peiping University, for instance, accused the Communist party of being too high-handed in its methods.
Too High Handed
Mao Tse-Tung's Invitation
The speech in which Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-Tung invited criticism of his regime has backfired.
Seeking to show that the Communist dictatorship really was liberal, Mao admitted there were contradictions between various elements in China, including the government and the people.

Mao made the speech at a secret meeting in Peiping last Feb. 27. It started to leak out only weeks later and finally was broadcast officially on June 18.
"The people can blow you down," Ko said. "They can kill Communists. The people can overthrow you."

Gen. Lung Lun, vice chairman of the National Defense Committee, took advantage of the new freedom to direct a hearty swipe at Soviet Russia. He complained of the way in which Russia looted the industrial areas of Manchuria after World War II. He said that Russia ought to pay a share of Red China's costs in the Korean War.

As the result of statements like these, Mao and his fellow-leaders appear to have had some sober second thoughts.
Mao issued a long directive to the national police last Tuesday. He
Police Would Listen
said that the police must hunt down "counter-revolutionaries." He said that they must keep close contact with the people," listen to their opinions" and regard themselves as public servants.

It looked somewhat as if "counterrevolutionaries" would prove to be those whose criticisms of the government and the Communist party were too frank, and that the police would be listening especially to people who dared to talk too much.
Premier Chou En-Lai followed this up in a speech he made last Wednesday at the opening of a session of Parliament ip Peiping.
Chou warned critics of the government that they might be branded as "enemies of the people." He called upon them to "repent and accept opportunities for remolding themselves."
This all adds up to the fact that in a Communist country even a little liberalization is a dangerous thing. It is true that President Tito of Yugoslavia has materially liberalized his regime. But it still is a dictatorship. It is true also that in

than Tito. But Poland, too, is
still a Communist dictatorship.
Nikita S. Khrushchev found out in repudiating the methods of Josef Stalin that liberalization might get out of hand. His liberalization policy led to the Polish and Hungarian revolts.
This raises to $31,500,000 the total amount of aid given to the anti-Communist Arab Kingdom since the start of the 1957 fiscal year which ended yesterday.
WASHINGTON—(UP)—The United States has granted Jordan another 10 million dollars in aid beyond the 10 million grant announced Saturday. it was learned Monday.
It means, in effect, that the United States has taken on the task—formerly borne by Britain—of keeping Jordan going economically.
