Nazi Party Leader Will Speak at KU
George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, which he once described as "the most extreme of the extremists," will speak here at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
The announcement was made last night by Laird Wilcox, Lawrence freshman, chairman of the Student Union Activities' Minority Opinions Forum that invited Rockwell to speak at KU.
Rockwell, 46, is a former commercial artist; former publisher of "U.S. Lady," an unsuccessful magazine for wives of servicemen, and a former Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He will speak on "the theoretical aspects of the right-wing movement in the United States," Wilcox said.
WILCOX, WHO has been in contact with Rockwell during the past two weeks, said that the American Nazi Party Commander will be unaccompanied by his usual entourage of two storm troopers.
In a telephone conversation with Wilcox Saturday, Rockwell asked him if financial assistance could be provided to defray costs of travel. Wilcox said there are no official funds available for that purpose.
Rockwell said lack of funds would not deter his scheduled appearance here Thursday. He said he probably would arrive tomorrow morning by air in Kansas City.
Wilcox said he asked Rockwell to appear here as he has at other universities, without his swastika armband.
ROCKWELL'S American Nazi Party, headquartered in Arlington, Va., a stone's throw from Washington, D.C., is best known for extreme racist views.
In the leaflet, "Program of the World Union of National Socialists," it is stated that members of the American Nazi Party believe Adolf Hitler was a "heroic man," who was "the gift of an inscrutable Providence to a world on the brink of Jewish-Bolshevik catastrophe."
In the leaflet, the American Nazi Party proclaims its main objective is to "free humanity from Jewish domination and subversion in all their forms, and the creation of the idealistic, racially realistic, socially progressive, international world order which we must have, if we are to remain masters of our own planet."
The party says it would establish an "International Jewish Control Authority" to carry out that objective.
ONE OF THE more controversial tenets of its "American Program" is its proposed solution to the integration problem. The party would appropriate $50 billion for the construction of a modern industrial nation in Africa, and then grant $10,000 to every Negro family "of five or more," migrating to the new nation.
Under the party's plan, no Negroes would be forced to "return to Africa," but Negroes remaining in the U.S. would be "rigidly segregated non-citizens."
Several security precautions will be taken during Rockwell's appearance, Wilcox said. The balcony and main floor of the Ballroom will be patrolled by members of the University Police force and the Minority Opinions Forum Committee.
Wilcox anticipates that Rockwell's presence here will be picketed. Both liberal and conservative factions have expressed antipathy for the program of the American Nazi Party.
While he is in the midwest, Rockwell will also address audiences at Colorado State University, the University of Montana, and a business group in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

ASC Thaws P-t-P Fund; Passes Dead Week Plan
"I FEEL THAT these tactics served their purpose: to bring the People-to-People situation before the student body and the administration." Harper said.
He stressed that the ends were more important than the means, and

The funds of People-to-People, frozen since January 7, were released by the All Student Council last night after the chairman of P-t-P submitted the organization's financial report.
The decision to release the funds came after Harper gave the report and explained his reasons for his actions in the matter.
Jerry Harper, Lawrence senior and chairman of People-to-People, had twice refused to give a required budget report to the ASC. However, as a result of a Feb. 6 meeting with Chancellor Wescoe, Harper agreed to submit the report at the next council meeting.
that he was "intentionally rough and coarse."
Harper was referring to his appearance before the ASC on Feb. 4, when he re-affirmed his position not to submit a budget report.
Harper said last night that he was sorry he had to do it the way he did.
"I HAVE NO objections to making reports before the council," he said, "and organizations under ASC control should report on their actions."
ACCORDING TO THE All Student Council Constitution, every organization under financial control of the ASC must make reference to that control on all letters of correspondence and newsletters, and must submit a detailed financial report to the council.
Jerry Harper does not want People-to-People to be controlled by the ASC. however.
He stated that when P-t-P was first conceived, there was no national headquarters. "So consequently, six
Baker Probe Begins In Senate Committee
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Former Senate aide Robert G. (Bobby) Baker showed up as ordered today for a face-to-face confrontation with Senators investigating his activities. He refused to tell reporters whether he would turn over to the Senators his personal financial records.
The former secretary for Senate Democrats was reported earlier to have advised the investigators that he would not give them access to his personal records. The Senate Rules Committee, which is conducting the inquiry, subpoenaed Baker after he refused to appear voluntarily and told him to bring along his records.
Baker walked down a long corridor through more than 50 newsmen, who flung a barrage of questions at him. But he refused to answer any questions. He was accompanied by his lawyer, Edward Bennet Williams.
THE 36-YEAR-OLD former $19,-612-a-year employee of the Senate arrived on the third floor of the old Senate office building shortly before the scheduled start of the closed bearing at 9 a.m.

Williams also refused to enlighten newsmen. "Nothing at all at this time," he said when he was asked if the Baker records would be produced at the closed hearing.
Baker was ushered through a side door to the hearing room. A subpoena was issued last Friday by the committee in which it demanded that the former Senate aide produce his personal financial record or explain his refusal.
BAKER WROTE the committee Thursday indicating he did not plan to give it his records to aid in the group's investigation of his outside business interests and possible conflict of interest among Senate employees.
Chairman B. Everett Jordan, (D-N.C.), told reporters he did not know whether Baker might be cited for contempt if he did not turn over the documents relating to a wide variety of financial transactions by Baker during his tenure as a Senate employee.
Snell Explores Greek Thought
By Rogers Worthington
One of man's earliest analysis of the "inner conflict" that occurs when passion opposes reason, was explored last night by Bruno Snell, visiting Humanities Series lecturer, in a speech titled "Greek Origins of European Thought: Euripides and Socrates."
Snell began his lecture by examining the plays of Euripides. In "Hippolytus," Snell said, Phaedra, who was in love with her stepson and contemplating suicide, stated the question that Euripides so often reflected upon: "Many nights I have contemplated what ruins men."
months after People-to-People started we asked to be taken under the auspice of the All Student Council, P-t-P was somewhat unstable then." he said.
L. R. Lind, professor of classics, introduced Snell to a near-capacity crowd in Fraser Theater as "one of the most distinguished classical scholars in the world."
Euripides too wondered, as the tragic lives of some of his characters attested: "out of joint, destroyed . . . in the confines of the family."
In "Orestes," a play written in 438 B.C., Euripides asks, "what would people behave like if they weren't in a family." said Snell.
"BUT NOW WE are ready to go it more on our own. We have a national headquarters and the program is in full swing. People-to-People has done more than any other organization for KU's prestige in recent years." Harper said.
But in "Medea" written in 431 B.C., the crux of the "inner conflict"
comes to light. Medea, abandoned by Jason, her husband, attempts to satisfy her passion for vengeance by killing her two children.
Homer used the metaphor of the bolting animal to show that insight can subdue impulse, said Snell. Insight is necessary to curb the "wild animal" of passion, he said. Reason then, "appears as a prevention of disaster."
"She realizes the evil of the act she intends to commit." Snell said, "but aware of her own moral helplessness, realizes that her passion is stronger than her reason."
Euripides named this state, feeling and awareness, "conscience," Snell said.
In "Hippolytus," the "inner conflict" is connected with a moral conflict in Phaedra.
But the term "inner conflict" may have been invented to describe the situation of Medea, Snell said.
Both Phaedra and Medea were aware of evil, but committed their
"It was believed then," he said, that "passion was responsible for the greatest evils that men commit."
The council also passed a resolution tabled since last meeting concerning a "dead week" proposal.
intended acts anyway, Snell said.
In Homer's works, men and women were taught by experience so that before acting in new situations, they were aware of the dangers involved.
But Euripides believed that it wasn't the nature of man's knowledge that was wrong, Snell said, because even when man knew what was good, he still wasn't always able to overcome passion.
Socrates believed that if one had the right knowledge, the action committed would be right, Snell said. The knowledge of evil is replaced by what is right, Socrates believed.
Introduced Feb. 4 by Dick King, Kansas City sophomore, and Bob Stewart, Bartlesville, Okla., junior, the proposal would give students more time to study for finals by "requesting instructors not to assign any extra papers or additional readings the week before finals."
But Socrates conceded that many men, even though prepared to do what is right, would not do so even if they could, Socrates called those men who know right and do wrong "un-wise and weak."
In 410 B.C., Euripides formulated the "inner conflict" once again, only this time, viewed it as a conflict between the body and the soul, Snell said.
Socrates, Snell said, believed there is good in all men from birth, and that man can defeat evil. Euripides did not share Socrates' optimism, he said.
In the words of Euripides, "They do not wish to submit to the dictates of the soul because they are near what is dear and pleasurable to them."
Euripides called them "wise and weak," he said.
The resolution now goes to the Faculty Senate Committee for consideration.
Snell said that he is certain that Euripides and Socrates were engaged in a dispute on the "inner conflict."
But, he said, whereas Socrates based his views on his equation of virtue with knowledge, Euripides brought the passions into play as they were in human life.
Socrates' objections to Euripides' views of the "inner conflict", Snell concluded, "struck at the marrow of tragedy."
Weather
Skies will be overcast tonight and tomorrow, with occasional light rain or snow tonight. The low tonight is expected to be 32 degrees, and the high tomorrow 40 degrees, the weather bureau said.
REUBEN McCORNACK, Abilene junior and student body president, commended the Little Hoover Commission for its work.
The Commission is currently studying ASC committees.
"From the Commission's findings," McCornack said, "I recommend that the Housing committee be abolished. Inspection and regulation of student housing is adequately handled by the University."
McCornack appointed Tom Thompson, Atchison third year law student, to replace Jim Daugherty, Lawrence third year law student as student court judge. Karen Stewart, Hutchinson, and Bill Howard, Lawrence, both second year law students, were appointed chief justices.
McCornack also re-appointed Dick Miller, Kansas City junior, and appointed Marcia Allen, Overland Park sophomore, to the social committee.
"The committee has not acted on these practices as yet." Craig Twyman, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, a resolution was tabled calling for action by the Human Rights Committee on alleged discriminatory practices at the Plaza Club.
"This resolution would provide for action to open all services patronized by students to the entire student body, regardless of race, creed, or color." Twvman said.
The resolution was introduced by Kay Whitaker, Wichita freshman, and Twyman.
VINAY KOTHARI, Bombay, India, senior, and Bob Stewart, submitted a resolution to investigate the student health program.
The proposal was passed, and will:
- Make inquiries as to the present adequacy or inadequacy of the student health facilities and the administration's plans for the expansion of these facilities.
- Make inquiries as to raising health fees to pay for dental and other professional services.
- Publish a resume of findings to inform the council and the student body about present and future health facilities.
- Determine what part students can play in furthering any plans the administration may have for health facilities.
The research on the resolution was turned over to the ASC Health Committee, which will report to the Council at the last meeting in April.
The Current Events Committee announced that Senator Wayne Morris of Oregon will give an address at KU April 1, and Vance Packard will sneak March 11.
