Old Glasses To Be Shown At Spooner
The Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art will exhibit 128 articles of glass art in a show opening Sunday and running through March 14.
The museum's glass objects number over 1,000, and were entirely catalogued by Miss Sara Jane Pearman, who completed the work in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. degree in history of art in 1564.
The majority of these pieces, once in the collection of Mrs. William Bridges Thayer, were presented to the museum in 1928. Another large gift, the bottle collection of Mrs. Fred Abel, was received in 1954. Additional pieces have been given by many other benefactors.
Certain pieces, such as a green, two-handled Roman vase, dated from the second century A.D., American bottles, pitchers, mugs, and glasses; English ale, wine, and cordial glasses; American and European engraved, cut, colored, and pressed glass; and Venetian style glass are all included in the exhibition.
Blizzard and heavy snow warnings have been issued for today and tonight. Heavy snow — from 4 to 10 inches— falling temperatures, and north winds of 20-30 mile velocity will cause near-blizzard conditions through the evening hours.
THESE GLASS objects represent many historical periods and styles and have been gathered from places as distant in time and space as ancient Persia and Syria and 18th and 19th century Europe and America.
Weather
At the opening of the exhibition this Sunday, a public reception with refreshments will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. in the main gallery of the Museum of Art.
Tomorrow, the low will be 0-10 above, cloudy and cold; high will be in the teens.
150 U.S. Planes Bomb Cong To Avenge Barracks Attack
DA NANG, South Viet Nam — (UPI)—Nearly 150 U.S. and South Vietnamnes war planes blasted Communist North Viet Nam today in the latest and heaviest of this week's reprisal raids.
The Navy lost four planes but recovered all but one of the pilots. A South Vietnamese air force official said all of the land-based planes returned safely. Pilots reported anti-aircraft fire ranging from heavy to light to moderate. It was not known if any planes were hit by the flak.
Today's target areas were Dong Hoi and Chan Hoa, about 70 miles inside North Viet Nam. Dong Hoi was hit by a 49-plane Navy strike on Sunday ordered in reprisal against a Viet Cong attack on the U.S. air base at Pleiku in which eight Americans were killed.
The Defense Department said the Air Force hit Chap Le, a barracks complex just north of Vinh Linh which was hit Monday by U.S. Air Force and Vietnamese planes.
Both target areas are on the coast. They were described as complexes engaged in training, supply, maintenance and staging activities to support the Viet Cong war in the south.
The results of the raids were described as "good."
INFORMED SOURCES said the attacking planes included 28 Vietnamese Skyraiders and 20 U.S. F100 jets from the base here and 100 U.S. Navy planes from aircraft carriers off the coast.
A Vietnamese broadcast quoting Gen. Nguyen Cao Ky, commander of the South Vietnamese air force, said all the planes returned safely.
Today's raids were ordered in reprisal for Wednesday night's Red attack on a U.S. Army barracks in Qui Nhon, in which 28 Americans may have died.
In hit-and-run raids at two Pleiku installations Sunday eight Americans were killed and more than 100 wounded. The Viet Cong infiltrators were able to place explosive charges against their objectives, which included a number of aircraft.

artillery broke up an attempted Communist amphibious landing in Qui Nhon.
The savage strike today was repulsed when American helicopters raked the guerrillas with machine gun bullets and South Vietnamese gunners laid down a barrage of artillery shells.
Col. Theodore Mataxis, commander of American troops in Qui Nhon, said the junks were driven across the bay into a mangrove swamp on land facing the city.
American officers said two Viet Ceng companies took positions on a hilltop behind the mangroves
Late reports said the American helicopters still had the attacking force under fire.
within sight of Qui Nhon's main hotel. U.S. troops manned rooftops bristling with machine guns. Other soldiers threw up barbed wire barricades.
IN WASHINGTON, President Johnson held an emergency meeting of the National Security Council Wednesday to discuss events in South Viet Nam including Sunday's raid at a U.S. installation.
Only the steel skeleton of the four-story building remained today as U.S. troops tunneled through the debris in an effort to find survivors.
The casualty toll in the blast stood at three dead, 17 wounded and 20 to 25 still unaccounted for. Feeble cries from the ruins indicated that some Americans were clinging to life.
In addition, 11 Vietnamese were killed. From four to 12 other Vietnamese were believed to have been in the building at the time.
Communist North Viet Nam said today the U.S.-Vietnamese air attacks amounted to an act of war.
In its first statement on today's retaliatory raids against North Vietnamese military targets the Hanoi regime said in a broadcast monitored in Tokyo;
"This is a new, most serious war act perpetrated by the U.S. imperialists against the Democratic Republic of North Viet Nam."
FIRE BROKE OUT in a building shed behind the McCollum Residence Hall yesterday about 5:30 p.m. The fire may have been caused by a butane heater used to heat sand for making concrete, Lawrence Fire Chief Fred Sander, said. Damage to the shed and the heater have not been determined. Firemen said the residence hall was not damaged.
Censors Thing of Past for UPI
No longer do many foreign countries require an official censor's stamp on news being sent abroad. Earl J. Johnson said last night at the William Allen White Day dinner in his honor.
"The main difficulties in covering a foreign field are in the Communist countries. They don't know how to read an American news service," Johnson, vice president of United Press International replied in answer to a question on censorship in foreign countries.
"They have been brought up to believe that United States news services are a tool of the federal government," he said.
He commented on the importance of America's press in covering the country's courts. Gesturing with his hands and puffing quickly on a cigarette, he cited a
Johnson spoke informally during a discussion following the dinner.
Johnson also commented on the role of women in the wire services today. He noted that several key positions, such as covering the U.S. Supreme Court, are held by women.
case in Baltimore, Md., in which a serious miscarriage of justice was averted through good reporting.
"We learned to trust them during World War II," he said. Johnson referred to the feminine war correspondents.
Johnson expressed concern over the recruiting policies of UPI.
Due to economic problems "We must take journalism students directly from school" he said.
Johnson, who started his career with the Winfield, Kan., Daily Courier, explained that markets for these young journalists are newspapers and radio stations throughout the country.
In coming straight to a wire service, he said, the student hasn't learned to know his market. He must not only learn the ways of a wire service, but also the ways of his markets.
Johnson visited KU to accept the 16th citation for journalistic excellence from the William Allen White Foundation.
New officers of the foundation were also elected yesterday. Fred W. Brinkerhoff, general manager of the Pittsburg Headlight and Sun, is the new president. Other officers are: Herbert A. Meyer Jr., publisher of the Independence Reporter, first vice-president; Eugene Lowther, retired general
Sharing honors with Johnson was Drew McLaughlin Sr., chairman of the Miami County Publishing Co. McLaughlin received the Kansas Editor Citation given annually by the foundation.
manager of the Emporia Gazette, second vice-president; and Dolph Simons Jr., publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, third vice-president.
Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and director of the foundation, resigned his post, effective July 1. At that time Dean Marvin will leave for Israel to establish a journalism school at the University of Tel Aviv. Marvin has, however, been selected as a new trustee of the Foundation.
The foundation, which meets every Feb. 10 on the anniversary of the late William Allen White's birthday, was established in 1944 shortly after White's death. At the same time, the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information was authorized by the State Board of Regents.
