World News Briefs
King Paul Dies; Son Takes Throne
ATHENS—(UPI)—King Paul I, whose courage and leadership helped beat back a Communist bid to seize Greece after World War II. died today in Tatoi Palace. He was 62.
Constantine, Paul's 23-year-old son, was to be sworn in as King almost immediately.
Paul lost his struggle for life after an operation for a serious stomach ulcer Feb. 21.
A brief rally followed the four-hour operation. But the King's condition steadily deteriorated until it became apparent that it was only a question of time before the end.
An official announcement from the palace said the King died at 4:25 p.m. (9:25 a.m. EST).
A medical bulletin this morning had reported a "very slight improvement" in the King's condition, reportedly because of an improvement in the functioning of his kidneys.
But three hours later, the improvement reversed itself, palace sources said, and the King entered the last hours of his life.
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur underwent surgery today to determine if he has cancer. Army Surgeon General Leonard Heaton said the old soldier faced the admittedly dangerous operation in good spirits.
The abdominal operation was conducted at Walter Reed Hospital after tests disclosed that the 84-year-old military hero had an "obstructive jaundice of unknown origin"—which could be caused by cancer.
DALLAS—(UPI)—The prosecution drove toward a finale today in its attempt to show Jack Ruby was a sane killer who planned in advance to slay accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Such a case could qualify murder with malice, punishable by death in Texas. The defense was expected to lodge a strong insanity plea later in the day.
Two or three motion pictures of the Nov. 24 shooting and "a few" witnesses were planned today by the state, which hoped to complete its case by noon.
Three police officers testified yesterday for a total of 17 state witnesses during two days.
JACKSON, Miss.—(UPI) The 1871 charter of Tougaloo College says it is "to be accessible to all, irrespective of their religious tenets, and conducted on the most liberal principles. . . ."
The state legislature, in which many lawmakers feel the charter has been carried out much too fully in racial matters, soon will take up a bill to revoke the charter of the biracial liberal arts college.
State officials said legislative action would come following an investigation of the charges, and passage was considered probable.
NICOSIA, Cyprus—(UPI)—President Archbishop Makarios today ordered his Greek Cypriot followers to release their Turkish Cypriot prisoners to "relax tension" on this embattled island.
The move came as new fighting flared in the Northern Kyrenia region, threatening to torpedo the shaky truce, even before a United Nations peace force arrives for police duty.
James H. Johnston
IFC Elects New Leader
James H. Johnston, Independence, Mo., senior and a member of Phi Delta Theta, was elected president of the Interfraternity Council last night.
Johnston served on the Interfraternity Pledge Council as a freshman, and worked on the IFC Greek Week committee as a sophomore.
He has been serving this year as a member of the IFC executive council, and is co-chairman of Greek Week committee. He also is vice-president of Phi Delta Theta.
Other officers elected last night were Clark R. Mandigo, Kansas City sophomore, Sigma Chi, vice-president of Interfraternity Affairs; Robert E. Winn, Leawood sophomore, Phi Kappa Psi, vice-president of fraternity rush; Charles F. Lanning, Lawrence junior, Phi Gamma Delta, secretary; Byron C. Louden, Kansas City junior, Delta Tau Delta, treasurer.
Worm Research BringsUSGrant
William H. Coil, assistant professor of zoology, has received a renewal grant of $2,216 for his second year of research on reproduction in an unusual group of tapeworms that live in birds.
The grant was made by the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Institute of the United States Public Health Service, which also has allocated funds for the third and fourth years on the project.

"They say they are not Communists, but that they have a different name and different aims than the Communists. They call themselves the "Front of Liberty," she said.

COMMENTING ON AMERICA'S role in the Viet Nam warfare, Mrs. Oanh said, "Remember, President Kennedy announced many times that we must keep South Viet Nam even though we may lose a lot of people.
"But I think these guerrillas who want to take over the south are Communists just the same. The Communists work in many ways and organize many parties. They are just as dangerous under another name."
"The important reason for the United States to fight is that Viet Nam is the gate to the Southeast Asian countries like Burma, India, and Thailand. The Communists want Viet Nam because they want to spread over Southeast Asia. As your Mr. Johnson says, 'It's a big problem.'"
West, I like freedom very much."
"Now communism is very glorious to the poor people. The villagers don't have enough and they don't understand government and politics. The Communists and the guerrillas talk to them, try to educate them, and, at the same time, make themselves very glorious and powerful.
"AMERICANS SHOULD GET close not only to the government and the army officers, but to the people. The Communists and the guerrillas get close and talk to the people.
Mrs. Oanh does, however, point to some possible changes in U.S. policy in South Viet Nam. "It is difficult because Americans should be closer to the Vietnamese people. The United States should try to get more understanding because now the people have too many ideas and no understanding of them.
She added that the suggested solution of neutralization was impossible. "We couldn't live peacefully. Any neutral country is later taken over by the Communists. Look at the neutral countries around my country.
"Actually they are not sincere, but they are very passionate. So the people believe. The government is far from them and the Communists close."
"America gives a lot of advisers, a lot of money, but doesn't know the people. And the war still goes on.
Why does the war continue?
Mrs. Oanh asked that question without finding an answer.
"They are very close to the Communists. I would like that my country be free and allied with the

"Yet the government has soldiers and machine guns, but still can't win. The government talks a lot but . . ."
She does not try to tell what will eventually happen. Instead, she said, "The situation is very bad. Who knows? It just depends on the Vietnamese themselves. If they want to be free, they will fight."

She shrugged her shoulders.

Because of the problems that come to his office and the publicity they bring to his name, Ferguson says he believes that he has "an advantage that none of the other candidates have."
Attorney General-
Sitting on a corner of the speaker's table like a relaxed professor, Ferguson reaffirmed that he believes his prospects for being elected governor are good.
"THE YEAST in the successful dough of a political campaign is publicity." Ferguson said.
He said the "key" to his campaign would be "education."
Most of his address dealt with the two major legal issues of his term as attorney general—legislative reaportionment and obscene literature.
MRS. FERGUSON SAID she had chaultered the attorney general from Topeka because he was fatigued after arguing reapportionment before the Kansas Supreme Court.
Before the address, Harriet Ferguson, the attorney general's wife, said in conversation, "If Bill wins the reapportionment case it will save the state a lot of money," and the governor will not have to call another special session.
Ferguson said he had argued that the court should correct the House's "Prairie Village duplication" because it would not be, in effect, writing unconstitutional legislation, as it had decided in the Senate's "Leawood omission." It would be resolving an ambiguity, Ferguson said.
Furthermore, Ferguson said he had argued that the court would not be correcting a bill the governor did not sign—its second objection to correcting the Senate mistake.
Ferguson also explored the implications of his obscene books case, which is up for review by the U.S. Supreme Court March 20.
"IN THE AREA of censorship the Supreme Court has gone a long, long way to protect first amendment rights," Ferguson said. Ferguson said he believes it has gone too far.
"There is no longer the question of an over-zealous censor seizing books that have any whisper of literary quality." Ferguson said.
The audience laughed when Ferguson asserted he was not after "Playboy Magazine," but he is after "commercial smut peddlers."
IF THE SUPREME COURT decides against Ferguson's arguments he says he fears it will open the door to "hard core pornography" in Kansas.
Ferguson graduated from KU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1938 and from the Harvard Law School in 1941.
★★
TOPEKA—(UPI)—State officials today nervously waited to see which way the Kansas Supreme Court would jump on the question of correcting an error in the 1964 House of Representatives Reapportionment Act.
State Awaits Action On Reapportionment
The high court yesterday took under advisement a motion by Atty, Gen. William M. Ferguson asking that a mistake in the bill passed in the special session of the legislature be corrected.
As passed and signed by Gov John Anderson, one Johnson County precinct would be placed in two different representative districts.
Question asked by Supreme Court justices yesterday indicated the court might not be unanimously disposed to correcting the error.
Justice Price, however, said the law says in plain language" that the precinct is in two different districts and then asked how the court could be expected to know what the legislature intended.
Ferguson told the court it was "clear" the legislature intended to place the fourth precinct of ward two in Prairie Village in the 13th representative district—and not in both the 13th and 15th.
