New York Post Starts Publication
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The New York Post resumed publication today, the first major New York daily to do so since the start of the 87-day-old city newspaper strike.
Post publisher, Mrs. Dorothy Schiff, said the paper would begin operations by running off about 336,000 copies daily, the Post's circulation before the strike started Dec. 8.
Mrs. Schiff, who bolted the united front of the New York Publisher's Association (NYPA) Thursday, said the Post would be printed under the terms of its old contract with printer's local 6 of the International Typographical Union (ITU).
The eight other major dailies, still closed by the city's longest and costliest newspaper strike, met at 9:30 a.m. today to resume contract talks.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner urged both sides "to accelerate the pace of negotiations."
The mayor's statement early this morning followed adjournment of yesterday's joint talks between the publishers and printers which ended about midnight.
Although the disputants declined to comment on the talks, Wagner said both sides had succeeded in narrowing the gap in "two important issues."
At the Post, where preparations were underway to get a 96-page edition on midtown Manhattan newsstands by 8:30 a.m., a spokesman early today confirmed a previous announcement by Mrs. Schiff's assistant, Robert Gray, that the paper's advertising columns were oversubscribed.
Asian Book Drive Begins Today
Books to be sent to Asian universities are being solicited this week in the fifth annual Asian Book Drive.
Textbooks published after 1945 and books by standard authors, such as Mark Twain and Shakespeare, are especially requested.
Boxes have been placed in Watson Library and the organized houses for collection.
The drive is sponsored by the KU-Y, the Interfraternity Council, and Watson Library.
"The response was particularly good last year and we're hoping it will continue to grow," said Mary Kay Cordill, Bethel sophomore and chairman of the committee.

The Post shrugged off questions about the announcement by Macy's department store that it would refrain from advertising in the newspaper while the shutdown of the other city papers continued.
Several other large department stores, including Klein's and Alexander's, said they would take ads in the Post. Gimbel's said its policy had not yet been determined.
The Post spokesman said today's printing would run to five editions.
Mrs. Schiff, who said her press runs would vary according to public reaction, told newsmen the paper would run "a few extra pages" of news during the remainder of the strike. She said today's editions would carry a summary of what has happened during the long blackout.
The scheduled return of the Post to the city's newsstands still leaves about five million readers without their usual newspapers.
The papers still negotiating with the ITU are the Times, Herald Tribune, Daily News, Mirror, World Telegram and Sun, Journal-American, Long Island Star-Journal and the Long Island Press.
One major stumbling block to any agreement appeared to be the problem of automation.
Informed sources said the union was asking the publishers to furnish special funds for retraining of "automated" workers and pensions in return for agreeing to limited use of automatic typesetting methods.
A marathon bargaining session Saturday which lasted until early Sunday morning achieved "no results" on the automation problem, according to Amory Bradford, chief negotiator for the publishers.

First IVCF Lecture To Be Held Friday
"Primary Evidence for the Validity of Jesus Christ" will be the subject discussed by Dick Simmons, a 1950 Wheaton College graduate, at a meeting of the KU chapter of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, in the Meadowlark Room of the Kansas Union.
Persons planning to go overseas this summer should apply for passports soon, said Mrs. Lucille E. Allison, Clerk of the District Court.
This is the first of three discussions sponsored by Inter-Varsity. Others will be March 15 and 22.
Overseas Travelers Should Apply For Passports Soon
Applications should be made in the Clerk of the District Court's office at the Douglas County Courthouse. Each applicant must have a birth certificate and two small photographs, Mrs. Allison said.
THE BIRTH certificate must bear the seal of the state in which the applicant was born. Birth registration slips, which do not bear the seal, are not acceptable, Mrs. Allison said.
The photographs must be the small, billfold-size snapshots. must be on light paper, and must have a light background.
TWO TO FOUR weeks should be allowed for processing applications. Mrs. Allison said.
Passports cost $11.
To obtain a birth certificate, write the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Department of Health in the capital city of the state of birth.
Applicants should also see a physician for immunization shots. The physician will know which shots are required for the particular country which the applicant plans to visit, Mrs. Allison said.
New Taxi Rates Might Save Students Money
The new taxicab meters will probably be a saviing to people on the campus, according to representatives of both cab companies.
The meter system went into effect last week in all Lawrence cabs. The new system has a 45 cent minimum for the first two-thirds of a mile, and charges 10 cents for each additional one-third mile. Waiting time remains at $4 an hour.
This replaces the old zone rate system. Under that plan the area was divided into zones and a flat minimum charge computed for each zone.
UNDER THE new system the fare will be computed directly from the distance traveled in the cab.
Ward Thompson, owner of the Yellow Cab Co., said that the meters will average out about the same within the city. However, the new rates will give people on the campus going short distances a better rate.
KU Rifle Team Finishes Tenth
KU's rifle team placed 10th in a field of 24 schools in the Southwest Invitational Small Bore meet held at Texas Western College, El Paso, Tex., last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Kansas State placed first.

The Union Cab Co. checked 30 calls throughout the city on both systems and found a 15-cent increase on all the calls, said Dick Tanner, owner of the company.
Thompson said the fare from the dormitories on Engle Road for instance, was 85 cents under the old system. With the meters, the charge to Strong Hall would be 55 cents.
"This way we feel it is fair to everyone, since the minimum is always the same," Thompson said.
