Two Faculty Researchers Advance Bacteria Study
A giant stride in the study of Rickettsaie, minute patageneic bacteria, has been described by two University faculty members.
Scientists attending a recent meeting of the National Society of American Bacteriologists in Detroit, Mich., heard Dr. Cornelia M. Downs, professor of bacteriology, and Dr. David Paretsky, associate professor of bacteriology, present a paper describing their work in developing a process previously assumed to be
Speech Therapy To Be Shown

Other officers are Mrs. Martha Kirkpatrick, Lawrence graduate student, vice president; Kay Wright, Columbus junior, secretary; Mary Laubachberg, Colby junior, treasurer, and Mary Jo Lowman, Lawrence junior, alumni secretary.
Cause Typhus, Spotted Fever
Ricketsiae, organisms which cause typhus fever, Rocky Mountain spotten fever, andricktisela pox, have for the first time been grown outside of living systems by Dr. Downs and Dr. Paretsky.
a generation away.
"The implications of this research are enormous." Dr. Paretsky said. "Now for the first time, scientists can study the mode of existence and the mechanism of parasitism of these organisms under rigidly controlled conditions."
The research was made possible originally by the University state-appropriated research fund, and has subsequently been supported by the National Institutes of Health.
Research Acclaimed
The research was acclaimed at the meeting as one of the most outstanding discoveries in medical bacteriology in the last 25 years. Several pharmaceutical houses have expressed interest in the process developed by the KU scientists.
Monday, May 6, 1957
The paper, "Cultivation of a group of so-called obligate, intracellular parasites, the Rickettsiae," will be published in scientific journals in a few months. Graduate students assisting with the study are William F. Myers, Kansas City, Mo., and John L. Riggs, Lawrence.

NEW YORK —(UP) —The Pulitzer Prize for International reporting was awarded to United Press correspondent Russel Jones today for "his excellent and sustained coverage of the Hungarian revolt against Communist domination."
BULLETIN
BUFFALO, N. Y. —(UP)-Wilt (The Stilto) Chamberlain, University of Kansas all-America basketball star, will definitely turn professional with the Harlem Globetrotters this fall, it was reported today.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, retired Kansas coach, and the man credited with luring Chamberlain to that school, said that the 7-foot center "definitely" will turn pro.
"Why, Wilt made more than $100,000 for the University of Kansas last year," Allen stated in an interview here. "He thinks it is time he made a little for himself. And he will get $20,000, not $15,000 when he turns pro."
"It would appear that Phog (Dr. Forrest Allen) knows more about my business than I do," Wilt Chamberlain said today about a statement by Dr. Allen that the 7-foot basketball wonder will turn pro this fall.
Don Pierce, KU athletics publicity director, said no University officials know what Chamberlain will do but all hope he'll stay at Kansas.
Chamberlain refused further comment. Dr. Allen, former Kansas coach, is credited with bringing Wilt to KU from his home town of Philadelphia.
"Maybe Phog knows more than the rest of us about it," Mr. Pierce said, "and maybe he doesn't know as much."
With Wilt Chamberlain, the subject of one of the hottest controversies in KU athletic history, refusing to commit himself, sports fans all over the United States are wondering. "Is Wilt really leaving school?"
The 7-foot sophomore all-American basketball player supposedly is on his way to play basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters for $15,-000 a year. This, according to rumors, is merely a 2-year stop until he will be eligible to play for the Philadelphia Warriors who have draft rights to him.
Then the talented youngster, who was called by many coaches as good enough to play pro basketball while still a senior at Overland High School in Philadelphia, would go to the Warriors, who have a close front office tie with the Globetrotters.
However, Chamberlain denied the rumor Friday and said he had no intention of leaving KU.
According to the reports, which so far have not been substantiated by KU officials or Chamberlain, Ron Loneski, 6-foot $4\frac{1}{2}$-inch sophomore basketball star, is also leaving to finish his basketball career at some other school, probably Duke.
However, Loneski said Saturday, "I like KU and the people here have been fine to me. I wouldn't think of leaving even if Wilt did leave."
The story first appeared in print Saturday morning and key alumni supposedly were the first to find out.
Wilt reportedly told them, "It's a job and as long as it's a job, I might as well be paid. I've got about 10 years of basketball in me. It will cost me about $15,000 a year if I don't take it. Here the pressure is on me—we have to win."
The new charges came immediately after the globetrotter owner, Abe Saperstein, sold his regular basketball center, Willie Gardner, to the New York Knickerbocker.
