Larsen Hurls Perfect Game; Yanks Win, 2-0
'NEW YORK—(UP) — Don Larsen pitched the first perfect game in world series history today to give the Yankees a 2-0 victory and a three game to two lead in the 1956 classic.
Larsen did not allow a single Brooklyn batter to reach first base.
He threw only 97 pitches as he turned back 27 Dodgers in a row, 7 of them on strikeouts as he made a fourth inning home run by Mickey Mantle and another Yankee run scored in the sixth inning stand up to put the Yankees ahead in the series for the first time.
Larsen's teammates carried him off the field as he blew a third called strike past Dale Mitchell, pinch hitting for Sal Maglie, to end the game.
So perfect was Larsen's hurling that he threw three balls to only one batter-Pee Wee Reese in the first inning. Then with a three-two count he slipped a called third strike by the Dodger shortstop.
It look brilliant fielding by his teammates to make his perfect game possible.
In the second inning, Jackie Robinson hit a hard ground ball to the left of third baseman Andy Carey which looked like a hit, but Carey got his glove on the ball and deflected it to shortstop Gil McDougald, who threw Robinson out at first.
and, who took the ball. In the fifth, Mantle made a diving catch in deep left center to rob Gil Hodges of an extra base hit and the next batter. Sandy Amoros, then lined what looked like it might be a home run down the right field line.
But at the last minute the ball curved foul by inches—foul by about as far as Manile's fourth inning drive was fair.
Mantle's homer—his third of the series and his eight in Series play—was the first hit given up by Maglie, who lost a heart breaker.

Egypt Rejects Suez Proposals
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UP)—Egypt today rejected the Suez proposals Britain and France made to the United Nations Security Council. Egypt suggested a negotiating body be set up to seek a solution to the canal crisis.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi accused Britain and France of acts of "sabotage" against the operation of the canal. These, he said, included refusing to pay tolls and instigating non-Egyptian pilots to walk off their jobs.

Needs Of Asian Students Explained By WUS Official
The needs of Asian students for dormitories, books, and X-ray equipment were explained by Peyton Short, regional secretary of the World University Service, at a WUS meeting Sunday night in the Student Union.
In discussing the problems of Asian students he said, "It is vitally important for them to realize that they are not alone, but that they have friends in other lands who understand their problems."
Mr. Short, who has just returned from a trip around the world, showed color slides of student life in Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Ceylon and India.
"I immediately after the war, the WUS helped students in war-strecken Europe," he said. "Many campuses and students were rehabilitated. We are now shifting our emphasis to Asian students. European countries are mostly contributors now."
Mr. Short also discussed various activities of the WUS, including possibilities for student travel and work in foreign lands.
KU students gave over $1,000 last year for overseas student aid.
Students who wish to work in the WUS field are asked to select the country in which they would like to work, and then study the language and culture of that country," Mr. Short said.
He will meet with the international commission of the KU-Y (YMCA-YWCA) at 8:30 p.m. today in the Jayhawk Room of the Student Union.

Take 19 intensely rhythmic jazz musicians. Put them on a dimly-lighted grape and cranberry-red colored stage.
Give some of them sultry saxophones; give one a turbulent trumpet with an upturned bell; hand three of them a set of drum sticks. Blend in the soft string accompaniment of piano, guitar and bass with just a pinch of vibe music. Stir vigorously with a solid, rhythmic beat and the dish that emerges is called "Jazz at the Philharmonic."
Head chef Norman Granz began brewing this potent formula in 1944. Thus the 3-hour concert that the king-size crowd of KU students, faculty and Lawrence townspeople greeted so enthusiastically Sunday afternoon in Hoch Auditorium was the result of 12 years of practice and experimentation. The outcome could best be described as sensational
Swingers Set Tone
Blaring, bawling, brawling and blasting into the opening numbers of the concert, the swangers set the tone of the program. With Flip Phillips and Illinois Jacquet playing the saxophones, Roy Eldridge on trumpet, Oscar Peterson at the piano, Jo Jones as drummer, Ray Brown on bass, and Herb Ellis with guitar, this group soon had the audience clapping its hands in glee.
The Swingers then switched from the jolting, blasting music with trumpet melody to the soft, husky saxophone lead with muted background. Throughout the entire program, this change of pace was one of the key factors in making it interesting and enjoyable.
The Modern Jazz Quartet continued music in a softer, more lifting fashion as John Lewis, piano, Milt Jackson, vibes, Pery Heath, bass, and Connie Kay, drums, demonstrated the "synthesis between classical music and jazz." Their numbers were based on plays of the Renaissance with a sketchy plot but with lines and details vividly defined.
To conclude the first half of the show, Dizzy Gillispie, trumpeter, Stan Getz, tenor saxophonist, and Sonny Stitt, alto saxophonist, joined the Modern Jazz Quartet for a series of jering, jiving and jamming numbers with plenty of stomp-

EDITOR HONORED-A painting of Charles M. Harger is unveiled by his daughter, Mrs.
Giles S. Maxwell, and Henry B. Jameson, editor of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle.
The name of the 39th member of the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame and the establishment of a $1,500 loan fund for journalism students was announced Saturday by Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information at the annual Kansas Editors' Day program in Flint Hall.
John Redmond, editor and publisher of The Daily Republican at Burlington for 55 years before his death in 1953, was elected to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame.
A letter from William Allen White offering him a job on an Emporia Gazette reporter caused Mr. Redmond to give up law for newspaper work. In 1898 he bought the Daily Jeffersonian in Burlington.
The name of the paper was changed to the Daily Republican and is still published in a town of less than 2,500 population.
Mr. Redmond was a member of the State Historical Society, a past president of the Kansas Press Association and a member of the board of trustees of the William Allen White Foundation.
Mr. Harger was reporter, editor and publisher on the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle from 1888 until his death in April, 1955. He was instrumental in starting journalism education at the University and served as the first journalism professor.
Create Memorial Fund
The $1,500 Charles M. Harger Loan Fund for journalism students was created by Mr. Harger's three daughters, Mrs. Ross I. Parker, Hinsdale, Ill.; Mrs. H. Donald Harris, Hamden, Conn.; and Mrs. Giles S. Maxwell, Fort Myers, Fla., who attended Editor's Day.
At a wrangle session a proposal to ask that the Kansas Turnpike Authority name the new turnpike the William Allen White Highway was unanimously passed.
