Telephone Executives To Meet Here
The first management development program for independent telephone executives will be held here starting Monday through August 9. The four-week program has been initiated by the personnel committee of the United States Independent Telephone Assn. and the School of Business.
"The objective of this course is to help independent telephone men learn to do a more effective job in their current positions and to help them prepare for more challenging administrative responsibilities, said Dean James R. Surface of the School of Business and director of the program. Richard Lashley, assistant professor of business, is the assistant director.
A. J. G. PRIEST
A. J. G. Priest, professor of law at the University of Virginia, and Walter F. Freese, professor of business administration at Harvard Business School, will be faculty members at the program.
Prof. Priest is a noted authority on public utility law and rate structures and was formerly attorney for the Idaho Power Co. and Electric Bond and Share Co.
*Prof. Freese is widely known in the field of accounting and has served as accounting adviser to the Stabilization Board of China and as adviser to both the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. General Accounting Office.
Edward G. Nelson, professor of economics, C. B. Saunders, associate professor of business administration, Frank Pinet, assistant professor of business administration and Bertram Trillich Jr., assistant professor of business administration, will also be on the faculty.
Classes will be held in the Kansas Union.

While on the campus the men will live at Grace Fearson Hall and Douthart Hall. Their daily schedule will include three classes in the morning, two afternoon classes and they will eat lunch and dinner together at the Kansas Union.

375 Die During Weekend Holiday
Officials counted the last of the holiday dead Monday and hoped the tragic toll would fall short of a predicted Fourth of July record.
The three-day weekend, which began at 6 p.m. Thursday, officially ended at midnight Sunday, but late accident reports continued to trickle in. A United Press International count at 8 a.m. EDT Monday showed 375 highway deaths, a figure 54 less than the forecast record of 410.
Highways, water, and fireworks accidents all brought violent death to Kansans during the long Fourth of July weekend, a survey showed Monday, with traffic as usual, the worst killer.
In a freak accident at Belleville, a firecracker poked down a manhole touched off an explosion of sewer gas which killed Clifford Gertson. 37. The blast flung the manhole cover into the air and it struck Mr. Gertson on the head.
The death toll for all types of accidents in Kansas stood at 10, including eight in traffic, one in the water of an abandoned strip mine, and one in a fireworks trunk.
The drowning victim was Howard Piler, 34, Joplin, Mo., who apparently stepped into a deep hole as he attempted to retrieve a plug with which he was fishing in an
abandoned mine near Galena
More than half the victims died in a single accident which killed six persons in a head-on collision near Junction City. A Chapman family of three, and three soldiers stationed at Ft.Riley were the victims.
An 84-year-old man and a six-month-old girl were victims of separate accidents. Robert Lee Hopkins, Wellington, died when he was struck by an automobile in an accident inside the city of Wellington. The infant was Connie Sue Altemus, Salina, who died in a two-car crash one mile east of Meade.
Another Kansan met death on a holiday trip to Arkansas. State highway patrolmen said Bill Segwick, 36, was killed when his car failed to make a curve and overturned five times about three miles north of Mountain Home, Ark. He was alone in the car.

Grand Prize Winning Film To Be Shown Here

This production won the grand prize at the 1954 Venice Film Festival. The story features Machiko Kyo and is set in sixteenth century
The story deals with two peasants who take advantage of the turmoil in their country to rise above the lowborn roles to which they were bound in feudal society.
One aspires to riches, the other to military glory; but these goals turn to ashes as they near them.
