Navy Bans Anti-Red Film as'Controversial
"Communism on the Map," a film strip often shown with "Operation Abolition," can not be shown by Navy officials to public groups because it is "too controversial."
A spokesman for the Navy said the film could be used by local commanders for showing to their own personnel, but it is not appropriate for the Navy to sponsor it for other purposes. The Navy feels the manner of presentation of the subject is controversial.
The film was not accepted for official distribution through the Navy information and education program, the spokesman said.
"Communism on the Map" was offered to KU for presentation with "Operation Abolition."
Moslems, Communists Can Cooperate
By Louis Cassels United Press International
Many westerners have the false idea that Moslems worship Mohammed. But as their creed clearly shows, they are intensely monotheistic. Mohammed never claimed to be, and has never been regarded by Moslems as anything more than a human prophet.
THE FOUNDER of Islam was born in the arabic city of Mecca about 570 A.D. As a driver with a camel caravan, he made several trips to Jerusalem, where he became familiar with Judaism and Christianity. Mohammed drew freely on these older faiths in formulating his own teaching. He taught that Jesus was a great human prophet but that
his life was cut short before he could complete all his work, so God called forth another prophet-Mohammed—to finish the job of revelation.
The new revelations which Mohammed said were given to him in a cave near Mecca were written down in the Koran. Moslems accord this book the same reverence that Christians accord to the Bible. They regard it as the word of God.
The principal religious insight of the Koran—that there is one God, who is a compassionate father to all mankind—will hardly sound like a new discovery to those raised in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. But it was an exciting new thought to the Arabs of Mohammed's day, whose religion was a primitive poly-
Cholesterol Rise Seen Link Between Smoking, Cardiac Ills
NEW YORK—(UPI)—By now it is plain to the scientists involved that if there is a relation between cigarette smoking and the development of heart disease, it is very far from being an obvious one.
By Delos Smith UPI Science Editor
Although statistics consistently indicate a relation exists, a number of scientists have failed in their efforts to put a finger on it. Hence their interest in a new experimental approach which seems to be yielding results.
DR. B BRONTE-STEWART argued that the relation probably was not a direct one, since no one has identified it. Therefore, he said it could be that cigaret smoking and heart disease were not related at all, but both were related to something else, thus explaining the statistics.
He has experimental evidence to support him. Cigarette is related to blood chemistry and cholesterol, which is dangerous to arteries. Cholesterol is the fatty substance incriminated as a hardener of arteries and thus the indirect cause of heart attacks.
Bronte-Stewart is a member of the faculty of the University of Capetown, South Africa, where the population is compartmentalized by racial barriers. Comparisons between compartments are scientifically meaningful. He had worldwide attention from previous comparisons which threw doubt on the theory that cigaret-smoking is a direct cause of lung cancer.
HIS COMPARTMENTALIZED groups were "Cape colored," "Upper income Cape colored" and "European" of both upper and lower incomes. He used 600 healthy men in all, ranging in age from 25 to 55. These were divided into smokers and non-smokers and then compared.
They were compared as regards
theism in which the one moderately benign God — Allah — was outnumbered by a horde of malevolent "Jinns" and demons.
Mock UN Needs 'Africans'
IN THE PAST, devout Moslems were forbidden to gamble, drink alcoholic beverages, eat pork, or charge interest on loans, but these restrictions have been relaxed considerably among liberal Moslems today, and are widely ignored in Africa.
age, race, income, occupation, height, weight, and degree of obesity. No significant differences were found between smokers and nonsmokers.
But when he compared blood chemistry he found "a highly consistent difference which held true for each age range, for each race, and for each income subgroup." This was a difference in the distribution of blood cholesterol between its Alpha and Beta fractions. The smokers had more of the latter. Beta cholesterol is considered worse for arteries than alpha.
The 20-nation African Bloe in KU's model United Nations needs eight more delegations to be completely full for the April session. Registration ends Tuesday.
George Bennett, Lawrence senior and secretary general for the Model United Nations, said:
IN HIS REPORT to the British Medical Association, he did not suggest that cigarette-smoking was or could be directly responsible for this—and it would be most unlikely. He looked for indirect causes in the tasting abilities and the diets of the smokers and non-smokers.
"People don't realize the importance of filling the African bloc. These small countries have just as much voting power as the major powers in a General Assembly vote. Each has one vote."
BENNETT SAID that the small African countries align themselves with the other African countries on issues like the Congo problem. He emphasized the importance of African nations in the vote on the Congo issue in the Model UN.
He and his associates found that smokers differed from non-smokers in that their taste buds were much less sensitive to a bitter taste, and this, of course, might well influence their choices in foods. As for sensitivity to the sweet, sour and salty tastes, smokers and non-smokers were much alike.
The KU version of the world organization now has 74 delegations registered. The real UN has 99 members.
Smokers and non-smokers were questioned about their food preferences. The smokers showed a preference for salty and spicy foods while the non-smokers liked bland foods. Smokers consumed a little more in the way of fats, with emphasis on meat and eggs, while non-smokers got more fat from cake, chocolate and other sweets.
The KU version of the world organization now has 74 delegations registered. The real UN has 99 members.
The African nations that have not yet been claimed are the Republic of Cameroons, Malagasy Republic, Republic of Chad, Republic of Dahomey, Republic of Mali, Republic of Upper Volta, Senegal and Togoland.
Other nations not yet claimed are

Moslems, who believe in God, and Communists, who do not, would appear to be divided by a basic and irreconcilable ideological difference. But as Nasser has proved in the United Arab Republic, and as events in the new Negro republics like the Congo are now demonstrating, this difference does not necessarily preclude a certain amount of mutual cooperation.

Moslems and Communists have this in common—each is convinced that his ideology will eventually triumph throughout the world. Therefore each is willing to enter into a temporary accommodation with any group that seems likely to further its long-run objectives.
Islam and international Communism also have in common an historically demonstrated willingness to use violence, if necessary, to advance their causes.

Times Considering West Coast Edition

The announcement said the study will appraise the production, circulation, advertising and distribution potentialities for the Times in western states.

Young Demo Leader Denies Friction Exists
But there is no reason to believe that Islam has forsworn violence. The Koran does not say anything about turning the other cheek. It specifically condones vengeance against those who have inflicted a wrong or injury.
And it says that any Moslem who dies in a holy war is assured of immediate entry into heaven. Thus a holy war conducted by Moslems can be more fanatical than warfare for or against almost any other cause.
The KU Young Democrats will go to Hutchinson this weekend for a state-wide convention of the College and County Young Democrats with party unity their aim.
George Bennett, Lawrence senior and president of KU Young Democrats plans to run for state president of the County and College Young Democrats. He said:
In the past few weeks many of our club's policies have been misrepresented and mis-understood. We are going to the convention uncommitted to any of the state candidates.
"The so-called friction between county and college clubs is not true. We are hoping to strengthen the bond of unity between county and college clubs."

Student driver! Let us give that engine the extra protection it needs. Constant stopand-go driving causes faster contamination of oils. Changing oil every 4,000 miles isn't enough - it should be done every 30 days to insure fine engine performance. Drive in, let us change that oil today!
