Government Grants KU 27 Fellowships
Twenty-seven 1965-66 National Defense graduate fellowships have been authorized for KU by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School, announced the authorization Friday.
The 27 new fellowships are two more than were authorized for the University this year. Currently,44 graduate students are studying under National Defense fellowships.
Last year, KU and Michigan State University were tied for first place in the number of awards granted, each receiving 25. The fellowships are authorized under the National Defense Education Act of 1958.
Recipients receive $2,000 for the first year of study beyond the baccalaureate degree, $2,200 for the second year, and $2,400 for the third. In addition the Fellow receives an allowance of $400 a year for each dependent.
The graduate fellowships are awarded for a three-year period of study leading to the doctoral degree. During this period the Fellow may also be a candidate for a master's degree.
Nine areas of study are involved in the grants for 1965-66. Three fellowships will be awarded in botany, two in English, two in French language and literature, four in geography, three in history, four in philosophy, four in political science, three in psychology, and two in Spanish and Portuguese.

Wilson Puts Government On The Line
LONDON—(UPI)—Prime Minister Harold Wilson put the fate of his newly elected Labor government on the line today by announcing to the opening session of the new Parliament that he will seek legislation to re-nationalize Britain's steel industry.
Wilson, whose party has a slim majority of five seats in the 630-member House of Commons, coupled his steel plan with a variety of other controversial proposals. Many are certain to run into stiff opposition from Conservative and Liberal party members.
Queen Elizabeth donned her crown andermine robes to ride to the Palace of Westminster in a state coach for the traditional "speech from the throne" opening a new Parliament.
"My government," the Queen said, "will initiate early action to re-establish the necessary public ownership and control of the iron and steel industry."
The steel industry was first nationalized by the Labor government of Prime Minister Clement (now Lord) Attiece during 1945-61. But the succeeding Conservative government denationalized steel with the exception of one firm still under state ownership.
"The speech from the throne" is written for the Queen by the leaders of a new government. Wilson also proposed:
- A "crown lands commission" to buy up prime urban building land to keep it out of the hands of speculators.
- Higher pensions and the abolition of Britain's token 28 cent charge for drugs bought under the National Health system.
- "Reforms in taxation." Labor party members have hinted these will include higher capital gains taxes and a "wealth tax" on unearned income.
- The speech also promised the government's sympathy for any move to abolish capital punishment, which in Britain is by hanging. But the government will take no initiative to end capital punishment.
- A bill strengthening the rights of unions to call strikes.
The speech also pledged support for "the basic concept of the Atlantic Alliance" and ended with demands for "action against racial discrimination" and "full integration into the community of immigrants who have come here from the Common-wealth."
