Anti-Recession Proposal By Ike
Included in the points is a plan to be submitted to the President by labor secretary James Mitchell to extend "for a brief period" jobless pay of unemployed workers who have exhausted their payments under state law.
President Eisenhower proposed a 7-point program today to fight the country's present economic recession. Primary emphasis was placed on increased building programs in both federal and private home construction areas.
Meanwhile, the Senate Public Works Committee met today on Democratic leader Lyndon Johnson's call for stepped-up spending on public works projects to combat the economic slump.
Johnson introduced two resolutions last week calling on the administration to push ahead with civil and military construction for which Congress has already voted seven million dollars in funds.
The Defense Department announced today that it plans to step up military buying in the hardest hit unemployment areas in line with the President's anti-recession program.
In Cape Canaveral, Fla. scientists and Navy officials tried to decide today when to make another attempt to launch the much delayed moon carrying Vanguard rocket.
The 72-foot Vanguard was believed ready to go as soon as the weather forecasts are favorable and a place can be found for it on the Air Force missile test center range schedule which is often busy with check-outs of ground equipment and other missile firings.
In Lincoln, Neb., officials had high praise today for attendants at the Lincoln State Mental Hospital who led 385 patients, including 66 security inmates, to safety when fire
hit the institution's administration building.
Among the inmates at the hospital is Caril Fugate, 14, companion of mass killer Charles Starkweather.
In Manila, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles arrived today for a SEATO meeting that could link the free world military alliances and align the U. S., British and French positions on the new "summit" conference with Russia.
Although British and French foreign ministers said that they expected a "Big Three" discussion of the proposed "summit" conference and the state of near civil war in Indonesia, Dulles said that the problems of SEATO will "occupy us fully at the meeting."
Meanwhile, a high Indonesian rebel source said in Singapore that 4,000 central government troops may have landed on Sumatra.
Operations of the American owned Caltex oil field headquarters on the island were suspended in the face of military operations. A Caltex spokesman said that the company is ceasing production and suspending operations immediately on the advice of the central Indonesian regime at Jakarta.
In St. Louis, the second major snowfall of the winter dumped up to nine inches of slushy snow on the St. Louis area today and weather-men warned that a new storm will hit the Texas panhandle today.
A fresh snow over Montana, the Dakotaas and Kansas brought snow accumulations in some places in northern Kansas to one foot. Snow is predicted for the Rockies and northern and central plains.
Swim Courses To Be Offered
A series of swimming courses leading to a national Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Certificate will be offered at the pool in Robinson Gymnasium beginning this week.
An organization meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in 202 Robinson. The times the classes will meet will be determined at this meeting.
The course is designed to qualify men and women for positions as lifeguards, swimming instructors and camp waterfront directors. The KU physical education department and the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross are sponsoring the courses.
The Bible story of manna being provided for the Israelites is buttressed by solid fact. During summer in the Sinai, the National Geographic Magazine says, scale insects secrete white droplets of a sweet and nourishing substance that seems to appear mysteriously on bushes.

American architectural design suffers from an overobsession with symmetry and tradition, E. Gordon Ericksen, associate professor of sociology, said in an interview.
'Architects In Rut'
Symmetry may be compared to the balance of nature, Prof. Ericksen said. The wing on one side of a building must be balanced by a wing on the other, just like wings of birds are balanced, he said.
This obsession with symmetry reflects directly the designers' tradition of "old art is best" and "new things are ugly." "The designer all too often shows little originality—or rationality for that matter—when he continues to create headless horses."
Functional design is the only thing which will add personality and beauty to the American home.
"The attitude of the public toward the functional home is one of excitement and fear" he said.
Prof. Ericksen believes that every architect should be first and foremost a sociologist. The primary object of design is to produce an effective social symbolism, he said, and while the architect does this with design, the sociologist must do it with words.
"It is difficult to solve the ends of privacy versus space or distance versus proximity. Prof. Ericksen said, 'However architects are trying to 'solve this paradox of design through gadgetry.'"
Architects Can Help Foreign Aid
Architects Can Help Foreign Aid "The architect is not the only one who suffers from the dogmas of symmetry and tradition," he said. "The designer must please both the public and the real estate agent and they are as guilty as the architect."
If American architects modify their provincial concepts of beauty they could help the foreign aid program, he said.
As an example, he cited the case of Guadeloune, an island in the
West Indies where he served as a consultant on housing and community organization for the U.S. State Department.
Not All Architects' Problem
"Parisian architects had designed some modern housing, resembling booths at a fair," he said, "but to the islanders the French buildings could not satisfy their needs, customs, or even their personality requirements."
Dr. Ericksen supervised slum clearance in the British West Indies and French Antilles from 1954 to 1956, and also lectured to architects in Bogota, Colombia on slum clearance and small house design.
"City planning and development are no longer the full responsibility of the architect," Prof. Ericksen said,
Advertising Projects To Receive Prizes
Prizes of $25 and $10 will be awarded for the best semester projects in the advertising campaigns class taught by James E. Dykes, associate professor of journalism.
For the projects, each student will plan a complete theoretical advertising campaign for the D-X Sun Ray Petroleum Company. Judges will select the best entry.
The class recently traveled to Kansas City for a griefing session at the Potts-Woodbury Advertising Agency, which handles the D-X account.
