Tuesday, March 18 1058 University Daily Kansar
High defense officials said today that the United States, now that it has two satellites spinning around the globe, may announce plans to send a rocket to the moon soon.
Meanwhile, a high-ranking scientist said that Russia may have halted its satellite launchings in hopes of lulling Americans into compacency in the space race.
In Washington. Newell Brown, assistant labor secretary, said today that the present "economic downturn" should not cause "panic" or "serious concern for the long pull."
Army rocket expert Werner von Braun was expected to warn some of the nation's top rocketeers today that the happy launching of the Vanguard satellite has not put us even with Russia in the space race.
Although the United States and Russia have both put two satellites into orbit successfully, Mr. von Braun said, "the Russians put a considerably bigger payload into orbit, and the bigger the payload, the more information is derived."
The gloomy report was published after Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson cautioned against "ill-considered" demands for a tax cut to fight the recession.

AHOY THERE-Eleanor Wilson, Meade junior, looks over a key cabinet in 204 Strong—all that's left of a Navy "ship." The key cabinet was left behind when sailors moved out of Strong Hall after living and studying there during World War II.
Good Ship Strong No Longer Sails Seas
This old key cabinet is a solitary reminder of the days when 900 sailors used Strong Hall as a combined dormitory and school during World War II.
The Navy took over the west wing, the entire third floor, and part of the basement of Strong Hall in the spring of 1942. The west wing and top floor were used for sleeping quarters and offices, and the basement became store- rooms and a canteen.
Sailors hung their laundry on clotheslines erected on the north slope of the Hill, below where the campainie now stands. They were trained as machinists and electricians in the remaining classrooms of Strong Hall and in Fowler shops, housed in what is now Flint Hall.
"They called Strong Hall the 'sh.p.'" recalled Guy W. Smith, professor emeritus of mathematics. "They raised the flag with a ceremony on the lawn in front of Strong every morning. The floors became 'decks' and the walls were 'bulkheads' for the duration," he said.
Strong Hall was not the only building taken over by servicemen during the war. When Lindley Hall was completed in 1943, Army trainees moved in to eat, sleep, and attend classes there. Other groups of Navy men were housed in seven fraternities and a scholarship hall.
Among approximately 3,000 students on the Hill in 1943-44 there were 2,300 soldiers and sailors. The remaining 700 were almost all women, the registrar's records indicate
Perhaps no other division of the University felt the effect of the military invasion of the campus as strongly as did the mathematics department. "We taught classes from 7:30 a.m. war time (6:30 standard time)—until far into the night," Prof. Smith said.
"Because we didn't have many of our peace-time faculty members," he added, "we had to call in teachers
On the south wall of 204 Strong hangs a small box that once served as a key cabinet. Under the small hooks where keys once hung, terms like "Sick Bay," "Small Stores Locker," and "Duty Officer's Office." are typed on paper labels now brown with pearl.
from other departments. They got a quick refresher course in math, and were turned loose to teach it to those boys."
By November 1944, the number of servicemen on the Hill had ebbed to about 400 men. If the faculty heaved a sigh of relief, their elation probably was not shared by the coeds. For the first time in the University's history, there were more women than men enrolled at KU.
