Summerfield Awards Go to 12 KU Students
Twelve undergraduate men will join the group of Summerfield scholars at the University for the 1960-61 academic year, James K. Hitt, registrar and chairman of the Summerfield committee, announced yesterday.
The new appointments to the highest honor KU can confer on an undergraduate man include five sophomores, five juniors, and two seniors.
Each of the 12 new scholars has a grade point average around 2.75 (B is 2.0, A is 3.0) and has demonstrated campus leadership and exceptional promise of future usefulness. Hitt said.
Summerfield scholars are normally selected by preliminary and final examinations of Kansas high school seniors. Each year some students already enrolled at KU are selected because of their outstanding records at the University.
The Summerfield scholarships are made possible by an annual grant from the Summerfield Foundation, established in 1929 by the late Solon E. Summerfield, KU alumnus and a New York manufacturer.
The original grant of $20,000 annually, recently increased to $25,000, provides stipends based on need to the scholars, who are selected wholly on merit.
The stipends vary from a small honorarium to full support. One of the 12 new scholars already holds another scholarship and will continue to draw support from it, adding the honor of designation as a Summerfield scholar.
The 12 new scholars are:
Sophomores—Thomas D. Beisseker, Topeka; William H. Breckenridge, Louisburg; Lovell S. Jarvis, Winfield; Kenny L. Peterson, Topeka; Paul C. Schaich, Topeka.
Juniors—Theodore E. Batchman, Great Bend; David R. Gray, Lawrence; John R. Guth, Iola; David C. Trowbridge, Prairie Village; Richard M. Weinishbiloum, Augusta.
Seniors—Donald G. Popejoy, Ulysses, and Jack D. Salmon, Elkhart.
Seminar Set For Campus
About 90 medical technicians, receptionists and other doctors' assistants will attend a three-day Medical Assistant Seminar at the University Friday through Sunday.
That meeting will be just one or several institutes and workshops scheduled for the campus in August to keep the University active during the one-month lull period.
Also scheduled for the month are a Boy Scouts of America, Finger Lake Council meeting Thursday; an Advanced Cosmetology Institute; a Regional Workshop on Supervisory Training for Vocational Rehabilitation Personnel, and an Advanced Driver Education workshop. These latter three meetings all will begin next week.
The Medical Assistants program will include a discussion of public relations, grooming and personal appearance, music therapy and law and economics in the medical office.
Dr. Victor B. Buhler, M.D., instructor in pathology at the School of Medicine and clinical professor of pathology at the University or Kansas City School of Denistry, will deliver the initial address: "Communications in Medicine."
Summer Session Nears Wind-up With 3,000 Scheduled for Finals
THE MARKET PLACE
GHOST TOWN—The campus will assume somewhat of a deserted appearance next week after the 1960 Summer Session comes to an end. Of course it may not be as deserted as this.
Reds Seek New Talks
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UPI) The Soviet Union asked yesterday that heads of government be invited to a United Nations General Assembly Summit Conference starting Sept. 20 to discuss disarmament and other major world issues.
Soviet Ambassador Arkady Sobolev made the suggestion in rejecting an American move to reconvene the 82-nation disarmament conference which has been inactive since it turned the disarmament problem over to an abortive meeting of a 10-nation group in Geneva.
Chou Offers Peace Plan
Sobolev, in a letter to Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico, chairman of the U.N. 82-nation disarmament commission, said a pre-assembly meeting of the group "can only aggravate the situation and hinder the fruitful discussion of this most important issue . . . at the forthcoming general assembly."
TOKYO — (UPI) — Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-lai proposed yesterday a non-aggression pact, among the major powers including the United States, and a creation of a nuclear free zone in Asia and the western Pacific, radio
Chou made the proposal at a reception given at the Swiss Embassy in Peiping in celebration of Swiss National Day.
Chou's proposal was broadcast by radio Peiping beamed at Japan in a Japanese language broadcast.
Temperatures will average near normal today through Saturday. Normal high temperature range in the lower 90s. Above normal temperature at beginning of period with some cooling later.

Orientation Program to Open Fall Semester Flurry Sept.12
With the departure of Midwestern Music and Art campers and the coming of finals later this week the KU campus has taken on a new look this week.
Actual enrollment schedules have been condensed into two days this fall instead of the normal two and one-half days.
The campus will officially come back to life Monday, Sept. 12, with the opening of the orientation period.
However, prior to that time many students will return in order to get the organized houses in shape and to conduct rushing programs.
Missing entirely are the more than 700 high school students who participated in the six-week music, art and science divisions of the annual summer camp on the campus. And many students have gone into seclusion in preparation for finals which will be given normally during the final one or two class sessions this week.
Registration and enrollment will run Thursday, Sept. 15, and Friday, Sept. 16.
As a guide for those returning for the fall semester, students are reminded that admittance to the Kansas Union for enrollment will be 'H through 'Sm' on Sept. 15 and 'Sn' through 'G' Sept. 16.
With the exception of the School of Law and various workshops and institutes on the campus, most University work will end at 6 p.m. Saturday.
The campus will not be completely deserted during August, however. Building projects will continue at a rapid pace as the Kansas Union addition and the new mathematics offices in Strong Hall near completion.
Institutes sponsored by University Extension and other University divisions will be as numerous as ever.
More than 3,000 students were regularly enrolled for the 1960 Summer Session. Many others took Western Civilization or English Proficiency examinations.
Kansan to Cease Publication Until Fall
Today's issue of the Summer Kansan is the last of the semester.
The next issue of the Kansan will appear Sept. 15 with daily publication resuming Sept. 19.
Research Program Soars
Outside financial support for advanced research and training programs conducted by KU faculty members of the Lawrence campus increased for the sixth consecutive year to an all-time high of about $2,700,000 for the 1959-60 fiscal year.
University research moves increasingly toward a golden era of national recognition and support as the 20th century progresses, figures released by the Graduate School of the University of Kansas indicate.
In addition, an estimated $1,250,000 was contributed in the same period for research and training projects at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City.
At the Lawrence campus, the total of outside grants administered through the Graduate School
was $2.507,251 for the 1959-60 fiscal year. About $200,000 more was administered through other KU offices.
The Graduate School total of grants made in the one fiscal year of 1959-60 is only about $500,000 short of half the total for all the 13 fiscal years between 1945-48.
Federal agencies supplied $2,332,409 of the $2,507,251 total. The National Science Foundation leads the list of donors, with grants totaling almost one million dollars, followed in order by the U.S. Public Health Service, Atomic Energy Commission, Department

of Defense, U.S. Office of Education and other federal agencies.
Non-governmental foundations contributed $138,292; state agencies of Kansas $26,050, and industry $10,500. University projects are for fundamental rather than applied research.
Although the amount of nonfederal funds seems relatively small, Dr. Argersinger pointed out that they increased more than 100 per cent over those of the preceding year.
The total amount increased about 10 per cent over that of the preceding year, despite the large equipment grant for the mass spectrometer in the 1958-59 fiscal year.

Hectic Opening Expected in Fall
Although formal Orientation Period activities do not begin this fall at the University until Sept. 12, the fall semester will be considered open with a New Student Convocation at 3 p.m. Sept. 11 in Hoch Auditorium.
That evening a New Student Induction Ceremony will be held in Memorial Stadium with the students marching down into the stadium from the Campanile-a trip most of them will be aiming at repeating in the spring of 1964.
For all new students who did not participate in Preview Sessions this summer, the first placement examination will be given at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 12. The second exam will be given that afternoon at 1.
A watermelon feed sponsored by the YMCA will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sept.12; the Jayhawk Nibble and Activities Carnival will be held in the Kansas Union the next evening, and a "Transfer Treat" for women transfer students with all independent upperclass women invited will be held at Potter Lake Sept.14.
Socially, the new students will be offered a packed schedule.
Registration and enrollment follows for all students Sept. 15 and 16 and the first home football game matching Kansas and Texas Christian University—will be staged in Memorial Stadium Sept. 17.
During the orientation period the students will be given opportunities to hold individual conferences with faculty advisers and may take placement examinations in such fields as foreign language, chemistry and biology.
Classes will begin Monday, Sept. 19. But the annual opening exercises of the University will be held that day and thus morning classes will be shortened.
This fall's entering class will be the University's 95th. KU first opened its doors in 1866.
Voting Spots Open Until 7 Tonight
Students are reminded that this is primary election day in Kansas. It is hoped that all in the University family will exercise their right to vote.
If you are a resident of Kansas away from home, you may get an in-state absentee ballot at any polling place in Lawrence, although students are urged to use the Allen Field House voting facilities. Polls are open until 7 tonight.

Summer Session Kansan Tuesday. August 2.1960
A Bit of a 'Dig' In Swan Song
As the Summer Session Kansan goes to press for the last time, the editors have only one regret, and who can complain about that?
The Kansan had every intention of publishing the list of students passing the English Proficiency Examination — just as it has done in years past. But, as those of you who have been around the campus for awhile know, the English department is very touchy about this examination.
HONESTLY, WE don't have the patience to fiddle with them. We asked for it. They said no. That's it. For the omission we apologize.
In other fields, we are somewhat happy that summer school is nearly over. Now maybe we can shake this head cold which certainly has been caused by plunging out of that ice box of a basement in the library and into the normal Kansas day.
We never thought we'd see the day come to attack air conditioning, but it has been "too much of a good thing."
AND SO ANOTHER effort ends. We're glad the Matzke's are safe, we're happy to see all the awards granted during the summer and we hope someone has learned something in these eight weeks
And if you get the chance, take note of the editorial below. It might be handy to take heed and go a step further in insuring a return to KU or other academic climes in the fall for a little more learning — from books or life.
Highway Safety
August is the time for vacations and trips home from school. With summer travel reaching toward a new peak and the record-breaking 442 highway deaths of the recent July Fourth weekend still in mind, one veteran traffic court judge has urged drivers of "unchecked cars" to have them inspected immediately as a basic safety precaution.
The judge explained that only 16 of 50 states have compulsory vehicle safety-check programs (Kansas is not one of them) while the remainder are on a "voluntary" basis. The big unknown, this judge reports, is if these unchecked cars are involved in a higher percentage of accidents and do they have a higher percentage of defects than those inspected.
IT IS HOPED that these unknown owners of possibly unsafe cars will check thoroughly into the condition of their vehicles and take necessary steps to put them in safe operating condition.
For example, consider one of the 10 points in a basic check the simple but vital windshield wiper. Perhaps the most important single factor relating to driving safely and prevention of accidents is that of driver visibility.
If the blade rubber is dried out from exposure, or if springs in wiper arms are weak from prolonged use, thewiper just smears or streaks as it moves back and forth across the windshield.
Studies show that on 60 out of 100 cars older than one year, the wiper arm pressure is too weak to provide clear wiping of rain, sleet, snow or road-muck spray. Even a new blade does not alone correct this condition if the arm pressure is too weak.
IT'S IMPORTANT to know this because in a study of accidents in which vision obstruction was noted, the National Safety Council reports, half of those mishaps involved obscurements such as rain, snow and road-spray on the windshield. The same deadly combination accounted for 39 per cent of fatalities in such accidents.
In view of record-breaking fatalities over the Fourth of July weekend it makes sense to say that the very least we can do is to drive a safety-checked motor vehicle. This checking can be done any time at a good garage or service station.
Even skillful drivers (and aren't we all) get into trouble with defective brakes, tires, lights, signals, poor visibility, etc. At the minimum, we should start with a safe car.
China, Germans Split
BERLIN—(UPI)—The Soviet Zone of Germany has ended its fleeting flirtation with Communist China.
They're still good friends, but the romance is dead.
For a while East Germany was courting China by imitating its doctrines in an apparent effort to get Chinese backing for a hard stand on West Berlin.
But Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev broke up that love affair with orders to the East Germans to follow his line or face the consequences.
In obedience, East German Communist leader Walter Ulbricht told a meeting of his central committee recently that the Chinese honeymoon was over.
He laid down the law that the Soviet Union alone is the Marxist authority and the theoretical spokesman for the communist world, informed sources said.
Khrushchev's order to the East Germans was said to be part of the Soviet campaign to reassert Soviet mastery in the complicated field of Communist ideology against Communist Chinese claims of the right to guard the purity of Marxist-Leninist doctrines
East Germans described this Soviet-Chinese battle as "extremely hot."
HOLLYWOOD—(UPI)—James T. Farrell, author of the famous "Studs Lonigan" trilogy, is fuming over movie treatment of his controversial opus.
Author Fuming
The Chicago-born writer, who sold the film rights to the novels cut of financial necessity, charges their entire point has been missed "because Studs' death is eliminated on so-called moral grounds."
In a letter to this writer discussing "Studs" on its silver anniversary, Farrell said:
"Studs Lonigan' needs no defense. It is unnecessary to apologize for it. This work earned its own way all over the world. It is loved by those who are called the people, and go to motion pictures.
"I defended it, in court and out of court. I did not flinch even when threatened with physical harm. I never beat a retreat before any force, power or threat concerning 'Studs Lonigan.'
"I spent as much, and more, money on it than I have received for the film rights. I sold it cheaply: I had to because of pitiless necessity and after years of tragedy and illness that I faced alone and paid for, both in terms of the pocketbook and of the heart."
"Studs," an unsparingly realistic tragedy of an Irish youth who lets his life slip aimlessly by, was completed by Farrell 25 years ago in a hotel in New York's Greenwich Village.
Over the years, while he could afford it, he refused to yield it to the movies because he feared the treatment it would receive. It cost him luxury.
"Studs' was not a best seller in the 1930s," he said. "It never made me rich, and never provided me with enough for my full support. Today, all I have are my books, a few old suits of clothes, my inexpensive pens, property worth less than $2,000.
"And this is not because of a wasted fortune. I have done more or less what many writers do. I finished 'Studs Lonigan' when I was 30. I went on toward the completion of my life work. I continued doing this, and I have been doing it at the risk even of health and length of life. My few close intimate of these days know thus for fact."
Farrell now lives in a midtown Manhattan hotel.
"I shall do new work and I can," he said. "I am dedicated for the rest of my life to a new 'Comedie Humaine' of our days and years, a series of at least 20 volumes. For it I have risked everything, as I have for other work.
"I am proud not to be rich because I gave myself and my time to creative struggle and to the life of our days and years. I hope I am making my small contribution. If I am remembered a little for that, my years will not have been in vain.
"The solidarity of art is at the core of the moral content of our lives."
The movie version of the Lonigan trilogy, titled "Studs," has just been released by United Artists. The three novels now have been republished in a new single-volume paperback edition by Signet books for newsstand sale.

SISTER CARRIE, by Theodore Dreiser. Dell Laurel Books. 75 cents.
Since Dreiser's celebrated novel entered the public domain, it has been published in several paperback versions, one of which is the attractive volume in the Laurel series. It benefits from a distinguished introduction by Alfred Kazin, which, unhappily, is the same introduction written for other Dreiser volumes in the series.
"Sister Carrie" is a work that is admittedly a landmark in literary naturalism, so controversial that its own publisher withdrew it after publication in 1900. The reader of 1960, unaware of the fight for realism in American literature, may find it as tame as Harold Bell Wright or Gene Stratton-Porter, the early century contemporaries of Dreiser.
THE GENTLE READER of 1900 was meant to have been shocked by the novel. True, it was a meaty kind of subject matter — farm girl in the big cities of Chicago and New York, preyed on by men, unable to find work, rising to success of a sort through many vicissitudes.
There is little shock today. There are a good many questions, however. Dreiser is lashing out at society (for an objective chronicler of society he takes some pretty subjective positions) for not providing better for its more unfortunate children.
But is Carrie an unfortunate? She takes up with the flashy traveling salesman Drouet and become his mistress, ostensibly because the city will not provide work for her. She has worked a few days in a shoe factory, but she becomes ill and then fails to find another job. A close reading will indicate that she doesn't try too hard.
WHO IS THE REAL predator here? This Carrie can take care of herself. She engages in a flirtation with Drouet's "resort manager" friend Hurstwood, but the flirtation palls when she learns Hurstwood is married. She kicks out Drouet (this timid little girl from a Wisconsin farm) because he didn't tell her about Hurstwood. Then Hurstwood shanghais her to Montreal and finally to New York. Then she naively marries this man whose wife has just filed for divorce.
Then begins Hurstwood's downfall, right down to his suicide in a 15-cent-a-day flophouse that thoughtfully provides gas. Carrie becomes a popular star of the Broadway stage. But is she really happy? Has she really found success?
The plot in its bare outlines is as corny as any 20th century soap opera. But "Sister Carrie," like most other novels by Dreiser, builds up its power through the force of the subject matter. One feels for Hurstwood, and one feels for Carrie, as she eats sumptuous meals at Sherry's ($1.50 a plate!) and strolls Broadway, admiring the bejeweled ladies and the beautiful carriages.
DREISER PRESENTS in the novel a traction strike that indicates his strong sympathy for the downtrodden working classes. The same strike may have inspired William Dean Howells for a similar sequence in "A Hazard of New Fortunes."
The differences between "Carrie" and "Hazard" are many, however. Howells, a great-minded, compassionate man, was not yet ready in 1890 to take a socialistic position. Ten years later Dreiser was quite ready. Dreiser places himself as firmly on the side of labor as Howells a decade before had placed himself in a kind of literary no man's land, where the protagonist can only say, "Nothing can be done for these people." Something can be done, Dreiser says, and he speaks strongly for that something throughout "Sister Carrie."

Newspapermen To Meet Here
Promoting newspaper reading by young people, simplification of record keeping, and the problem of collecting the Kansas newspaper sales tax will be topics on the program of the Seventh Newspaper Circulation Managers' School Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2, at The University.
C. K. Jefferson, circulation manager of the Des Moines Register and Tribune, Des Moines, Iowa, will speak on "Promoting Youth Readership" following the annual circulation school dinner Saturday evening, October 1.
The program will open at 9 a.m. Saturday with a panel on "Building and Managing Circulation." Jack Mehaffey, circulation manager of The Lawrence Journal-World, will discuss carrying out this function by carrier in the city of publication; Ralph Osborn, circulation manager of The Pratt Tribune, will describe the building and managing of circulation by carrier outside the city of publication; and George Alden, circulation manager of The Hutchinson News, will discuss getting the job done by mail.
Following luncheon on Saturday the participants will attend the University of Kansas-Syracuse University football game.
At 9 a.m. Sunday, Bates R. Stinson and J. F. Rice of the National Cash Register Company, Topeka, will talk on "How to Simplify Record Keeping Systems" and will give demonstrations. Newspaper circulation managers throughout Kansas have been invited to post displays of their carrier and mail circulation forms with explanations of how they are used.
At 11 a.m. there will be discussion of additional topics of general interest, including the problem of collecting the newspaper sales tax in Kansas. At the closing luncheon Sunday noon Prof. Elmer F. Beth of the School of Journalism faculty will summarize the main points brought out during the short course.
and Canada.
The Red Chinese enjoy the favor of the Fidel Castro regime in their current all-out effort to wrest politico-economic control of the 20,000 to 30,000 mainland Chinese in Cuba from the Nationalists.
Foreign intelligence reports that about 90 per cent of the Chinese in Cuba are nationalist in political sympathies. But they say the Red Chinese hold all the organizing cards under Castro.
Cuba as of the moment recognizes only the Chinese Nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. The recent trade pact with the Red Chinese, however, presages inevitable and early formal diplomatic recognition of Peiping.
In the 18 months of Castro rule in Cuba, Red Chinese political, economic and cultural groups have literally swamped the tiny island. A communist daily in Chinese has been started in Havana where three other Chinese dailies have long been pro-Nationalist.
Red China's agents in Havana have even been permitted by authorities to "circularize" Chinese colony residents as to the nature of their, employment, their income, names of relatives in the old country and political sentiments - obvious prelude to a contribution "shakedown."

Ex-Illinois Professor Wants Stand on Sex
CHICAGO—(UPI)—A university teacher who lost his job for publicly advocating premarital sex relations has charged both major political parties with shying away from "legitimate" areas of sex in society.
Dr. Leo F. Koch, former University of Illinois assistant biology professor, was here to address a testimonial dinner and raise funds for an American Civil Liberties Union court fight challenging his dismissal from the University April 7.
At a news conference yesterday, Koch said the next few months will bring a lot of talk about "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But there is one liberty we need to learn much more about—the satisfaction of individual sex needs."
Koch stressed he was not suggesting that Democrats or Republicans include a platform plank on premarital sex relations, a subject which cost him his job when the University of Illinois Daily Illini, a student newspaper, published his support for premarital sex relations in "sufficiently mature" couples.
Individuals must decide their sex conduct for themselves, he said. But platform architects are "gutless" when they ignore such social problems as overpopulation and birth control, abortion and divorce laws.
He also grouped religious leaders
In the same vein, Koch said:
Sexually, Sweden is probably the least inhibited nation in the world; France is "perhaps as puritanical as the United States."

and educators with politicians among those who fail to meet the problem "with honesty and forthrightly."
Though not advocated, premarital pregnancy should be condoned if the mother is prepared for the responsibility.
Koch also feels that:
His views will appear in a book already accepted by a New York publisher (University Books, Inc.). Kooch also feels that:

Miss Munsel is making her first Starlight appearance and theatre officials have reported a brisk box office interest in the beautiful singer's initial appearance here.
She is the holder of the all time attendance record at the Dallas State Fair, having outdrawn such performers as Jack Benny and other names that spell box office magic.
The glamorous and exciting star has won more honors in varied show business fields than any other living performer—and all of this while she
Two Professors To Make Study
The Ford Foundation, through Community Studies, Inc., of Kansas City, Mo., has awarded post-doctoral research fellowships to Prof. E. Gordon Ericksen and Assistant Prof. Ray P. Cuzzort, of the sociology and anthropology department They will investigate the population and social organization of Negroes of Greater Kansas City.
The grant, expected to exceed $10,000 after the addition of research staff, is part of a Ford Foundation sponsored program to encourage research of cities by faculties and the training of graduate students in this field.
"With cities rapidly becoming the natural habitat of civilized man, they represent mans' most dramatic attempt to remake the world to fit his own interests," said Prof. Ericksen. "Thus by making the city, man has been remaking himself. With modern cities assuming something of the character of a controlled experiment, they become vast social laboratories for the scientist. Investigation can be made to add up to knowledge useful to both practical people of affairs and theorists," he said.
Professors Ericksen and Cuzzort, noting the mobility of Negroes to and within Greater Kansas City will focus their efforts on the Negro labor force and middle class family after a study of the 1960 population composition.
is still under 34 years of age. She has been selected for command performances twice, once by the Queen of England and once by President Eisenhower for an official White House reception. A curvaceous married woman, she was named the nation's most eligible girl by the Bachelor Club of America prior to her marriage. Since her marriage she has been selected as the foremost mother in American music life.
Prof. Ericksen received his doctor's degree in 1947 from the University of Chicago and taught at Indiana and University of California at Los Angeles before joining the KU staff in 1949. In addition to two books on the city, he has published numerous papers on urbanism and related topics since coming to Kansas. His latest book, the "Population of the West Indies" is now being readied for publication.
Warne to Move To Ohio State Post
Prof. Cuzzort received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1955. He has published a monographic study on the suburban development of service trade industries and is co-author of a monograph on "Statistical Geography" now in press. He was a research associate at the Population Research and Training Center of the University of Chicago before coming to KU in 1957.
Clinton L. Warne, assistant professor of economics, has been appointed associate professor at Ohio State University in Columbus.
The beautiful singer has graced the covers of most of the major American magazines, including Life magazine twice. Time, Theatre Arts and others. Her stunning figure has made her a top subject for photographers across the nation.
During the last 15 years, there has been a 77 per cent decline in the death rate from appendicitis.
Her television show was an instantaneous hit and one of the top variety shows of the season. It enabled the vivacious, raven haired star to demonstrate her versatility before millions of people who had previously only heard about the singer.
Dr. Warne was an instructor at KU in 1950-53, taught two years at Simpson College in Iowa and returned to Kansas as assistant professor in 1956. He holds degrees from Colorado and Clark Universities and received the Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska in 1953.
Summer Session Kansan
"The Merry Widow" first became the toast of the musical world more than 50 years ago, when Franz Lehar composed the magnificent score. The magic is not in the plot—all the basic ingredients are in the show, pretty girls, dancing and romance. The story concerns a rich woman, pursued by a prince who is trying to recoup his shrinking fortune.
The magic, all major critics agree, is in the music and the dances. A newness and freshness that spells youth and love. "The Merry Widow Waltz" comes in the second act and has caused audiences for over one-half century to sit spellbound at the enchanting music and movement.
At the New York debut in 1907 the show ran for one year and was seen by 700,000 people. More than 3 million copies of the sheet music were sold in one year.
Theatre officials advise reservations by mail as soon as possible, since Miss Munsel is expected to be the major attraction of the current season. Tickets, ranging from $4 to $1.50 are available by writing Department JP, Starlight Ticket Office, 1217 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri, or by phoning GRand 1-5510. Prices are: Box — $4; Orchestra — $3.50; Loge—$3; Arena “A,” “B,” “C”—$2.50; $2.10; $1.50.

Scientists said they could not pin down the reason immediately for the Atlas explosion. The accident sent the one-ton Mercury capsule into the Atlantic Ocean somewhere between four and 12 miles east of the cane.
Six more tests of the capsule, which will boost an American to the edge of space early next year and then into orbit around Earth in late 1961, are scheduled before the end of this year—three aboard the Atlas and three on the Army's Redstone rocket.

Russians Track Ships Traveling Baltic Sea
HELSINKI, Finland—(UPI)—The Russians have no qualms about keeping close tabs on foreign ships churning over the Baltic Sea which borders on Russia's western shores.
They have protested against U.S. Air Force planes observing and allegedly "buzzing" Soviet ships on the high seas. But they do not hesitate to follow ships in the Baltic or in the Gulf of Finland which are home waters for the Soviet Navy.
When a six-vessel British naval detachment arrived here late this spring, officers reported that their ships had been followed from the Kiel Canal.
"There were always one or two Russian destroyers in sight," said one British officer.
"We had planned to do some exercises on the way, but the presence of the Russians ruled that out."
It generally can be assumed, whenever a naval visit is planned here, that the Soviet vessels will keep close tabs on the journey through the Baltic.
From the top-floor restaurant of
Helsinki's Torni Hotel, one of the city's highest structures and the old headquarters of the Russian control commission, vapor trails often can be seen over the open water of the Gulf of Finland.
These are made by Soviet planes which regularly patrol the open sea
made by Soviet planes
when regularly patrol the open sea.
One Helsinki newspaper asserted
recently that an "unknown" plane
hit high-flying Russian aircraft at
Porkkala, the former Soviet
naval base west of Helsinki which
the Finns got back four and a half
years ago.
Except for the alleged coastal buzzing, all these flights and trailing operations take place on or over open sea, and thus violate no law.
With the Soviet Estonian coast only some 75 miles away, the Finns are careful to avoid incidents.
Civilian airplanes, unless they have special permission, are required to stick close to the Finnish coast.
But even such coastal flights will give a view of Soviet naval vessels on the open sea, and the reason for the government order.

Rea attended the third annual National Community Theater Center meeting at Madison, Wis., last month. The University of Wisconsin has since invited him to join the staff of the regional Community Theater conference in Milwaukee next spring.
SAGINAW, Mich — (UPI) — Percy Thomas, 34, failed to notice the road he was driving came to a dead end. Before he could stop, his car ripped through a steel guard rail, sailed 50 feet through the air over the edge of a 20-foot deep ravine, rolled over several times as it bounced down the ravine and came to rest upside down several feet off the ground wedged in the branches of three trees.
Thomas walked away uninjured.

KU Research Grants Reach All-Time Level
(Continued from page 1)
search contracts in the Graduate School. His office does not process grants which a KU faculty member may obtain directly from private sources, nor funds obtained and disbursed through the Research Foundation, Endowment Association or Center for Research in Engineering Sciences.
Also not included in Dr. Argersinger's report are the two Carnegie grants for the gifted student program at KU and the Costa Rica program, and some special grants by the U.S. Public Health Service.
During the 1959-60 fiscal year, the Graduate School received notice of the award of 123 grants, contracts or supplementary or renewal awards for periods of several months to five years. Of these, 48 were for the support of new research projects.
The term "research" may be misleading here, since a listing of the individual projects reveals that the University is becoming increasingly laced into state, national and international community life.
Projects of state and national significance can hardly be separated. For example, E. R. Elbel, professor of physical education, received two 2-year grants from the U.S. Public Health Service to study the health and physiques of college students, and Dr. H. G. Whittington, psychiatrist at the Student Health Service, received a new research grant from the same agency to study the effectiveness of the mental health program for these same students.
One of the significant grants in the field of education was the $79,327 awarded Agnes Brady, professor of Romance languages, to conduct a Summer Institute for Elementary School Teachers of Spanish and German under provisions of the National Defense Education Act.
This particular grant, and many in the scientific fields, has international implications, but perhaps the outstanding one of the 1959-60 fiscal year in this regard was the five-year $210,000 grant awarded to Raymond C. Moore, Summerfield distinguished professor of geology.
With this money, Dr. Moore leads a large international team of scientists, and he expects with this support to complete his monumental "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology."
The worldwide scope of many of the projects is illustrated by the summer or future locations of some of the researchers.
Howard A. Matzke, associate professor of anatomy, went to the Belgian Congo, witnessed the birth of the Republic of Congo, and was forced to transfer his efforts, if possible, to Uganda.
Three professors and their assistants will be on the Antarctic continent Edward J. Zeller, associate professor of geology; Rufus Thompson, professor of botany, and Kenneth B. Armitage, assistant professor of zoology.
International work is not always in the fields of science, the report indicates.
Tuesday, August 2.1960
For example, George Ivask, associate professor of German and Russian, is in Paris this summer with a professor from the University of Indiana collecting material and interviewing the rapidly thinning ranks of Russian emigres to study Russian "Acmeism."
Dr. Argersinger wrote in his report, "In a small way their project resembles the well-publicized 'Oral History' program at Columbia University."
The relative contribution made by the U.S. Office of Education increased greatly, and that of the Department of Defense decreased slightly, he said.
A "significant and encouraging" increase in support by foundations and associations was noted, but "on the other hand, the University receives distressingly little direct support for research from private or industrial sources."
Lockheed to Alter Electra Planes
BURBANK, Calif. — (UPI) Lockheed aircraft will bring every one of its 134 prop-jet Electra airliners back to the factory to eliminate a "bug" that caused two fatal crashes.
The modifications at Lockheed's plant here will cost almost $25 million dollars. Lockheed vice president M. C. Haddon said the firm will "assume a major share of specific improvement costs."
Haddon said the first improved Electra would be ready for Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) tests and certification by Nov. 1. All the big planes operated by 13 airlines were scheduled to be fixed by the middle of next year.
The aircraft have been flying at reduced speeds since a Northwest Electra crashed near Tell City, Ind., March 17 killing all 63 aboard. Subsequent investigation disclosed a structural weakness that could cause a wing to fail under freakish circumstances.
The fatal "bug" that doomed the Northwest plane, as well as a Braniff Electra with 34 aboard near Buffalo, Tex., last September, was a weakness in the mounts that held the outboard engines in their nacelles.
Curtis-Leigh Combine To Enter New Field
HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) — Actor Tony Curtis and his wife Janet Leigh plan to build a country club in Palm Springs.
Curtis said he and his wife purchased the 38-unit Desert Skies Hotel for $600,000 and planned to spend $1.5 million to remodel it. Their plans also call for leasing of 40 acres of land next to the hotel, he said.

HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) — Don Ameche, credited by the nation's comedians with inventing the telephone, is making his first movie in 13 years.
Fabled 'Telephone Inventor' To Make Return to Movies
For old times sake, or some other reason, the man who played Alexander Bell again is portraying a character named Alexander.
Warner Brothers Studios, which is producing Amchec's new film, "A Fever in the Blood," refuses to divulge whether Don has any scenes with a telephone. Maybe it's a good thing.
Still handsome, and without a gray hair in his head, Ameche plays U.S. Senator Alexander Simon in a story of political intrigue.
To age him for the role makeup men used gray dye at his temples.
"Because the part is good and the picture is first-rate I decided to return to Hollywood," said Don, who
now makes his home in New York City.
Don moved east in 1950 when New York was the center of television activity. It had been some three years since he starred in a nifty little picture titled "Slightly French" with Dorothy Lamour.
"I moved because what little was offered me in pictures didn't measure up to the things I wanted to do," he said.
"Meanwhile I've kept busy in television and the theater. But I was never fortunate enough to be a part of a successful TV series."
He has no explanation for his tumble from one of the big box-office attractions of the 40s to an absentee in the 50s.
"There doesn't seem to be any reason for those things," he offered. "I certainly was available."
