his home, Lyon County, Kansas. White has written 12 books, the first a novel, the others commentaries on far-reaching world events. His two most noteworthy books are "Journey For Margaret" and "They Were Expendable."
"Journey For Margaret" tells of the horror of the London bombing raids in 1941. White wrote of how he adopted "Margaret," age 3, and brought her home from London where she had seen her home destroyed and family killed. The "Margaret" of whom he writes is his daughter Barbara, now 32 years old and married.
Gift to buy Watkins x-ray equip
A $25,000 gift from Mrs. L. H. Emmett, a Lawrence resident, to Watkins Hospital has been used to buy a new X-rav machine.
According to Dr. Raymond Schweegler, director of Watkins Hospital, the new machine and its installation will cost approximately $30,000.
"More than 14,000 films were taken during 1966-67." Schweigler said. "The old machine was worn to a thread by terrific usage."
The new X-ray machine, equipped with an automatic film developer, is expected to be installed about Easter. It will give technicians more time to perform other duties, and will give better service and better films, Schwegler said.
The old machine will be moved to another room and will be used only occasionally.

"They Were Expendable" is his account of World War II in the Philippines. He came to know four men who survived the battles of Naval Squadron 3 in the Philippines and at Bataan.
White's purpose in his writings has been to "speak with a realism which will arouse the complacent citizens." In recent years he has spoken out on such subjects as federal aid to the poor and inflation.
White travels today as a roving editor for the Reader's Digest, to which he has been a frequent contributor.
White finished his father's autobiography after William Allen White's death in 1944. The book was published in 1946. Warren K. Agee, Dean of The William Allen White School of Journalism, speculated that White might give some insight Monday into his part in writing the final section of the autobiography.

Continued from page 1
Ethridge spent 1933 and 1934 as the assistant general manager of the Washington Post. In 1936, he left to become the vice-president and general manager of the Louisville Courier-Journal where he stayed for 26 years. 20 of them as the paper's publisher. From 1963 to 1965, he edited Newsday, giving up that position to teach as a professor of journalism at the University of North Carolina.
Ethridge has also spent time in nonjournalistic endeavors, first on a visit to the Balkans for the
U. S. State Department in 1945 and later, in 1947, on a United Nations committee to study Greek border disputes. From 1948 to 1950, he was chairman of the U.S. Advisory Committee on Information.
Ethridge is due to arrive in Lawrence Sunday. He will stay at the residence of Dolph Simons, editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World. He will be accompanied by his wife, Willie Snow Ethridge, a noted lecturer and author.
Portland Rose to keep rolling
WASHINGTON—(UPI) Discontinuance of two passenger trains between Kansas City and Portland, Ore., has been postponed for four months, Sen. Frank E. Moss, D-Utah, said Thursday.
Moss said the Interstate Commerce Commission had ordered the Union Pacific Railroad to continue operating the Portland Rose beyond Feb. 19, when the service was to end.
What the interviewers won't tell you about General Electric.
They won't tell you about all the job opportunities we have for college graduates — engineers, science, business and liberal arts majors. Not that they wouldn't like to. It's just that there are too many jobs and too little time. In a half-hour interview our man would barely have time to outline the scope and diversity of the opportunities we offer. That's why we published a brochure called "Starting Points at General Electric." In plain language
It will tell you exactly how and where a person with your qualifications can start a career with General Electric. Pick up a copy at your Placement Office. Then arrange for a productive session with our interviewer. He'll be on your campus soon.
