Cambodian incident evokes warning
TOKYO (UPI) — Communist China warned the United States today to leave the peoples of Indochina alone and said America will be held responsible for whatever arises from U.S. action in the area.
An official statement by the Chinese government, broadcast by the New China News Agency, said the Indochinese people have "a powerful backing" of the 700 million Chinese people in their fight against "U.S. imperialism."
The statement was made in connection with the recent "summit conference of Indochinese peoples" which brought ousted Cambodian Prince Norodom Sihanouk together with the Communist leaders of North Vietnam,
Art removed from museum
Spooner Museum is minus $1 million worth of art. These art objects have been moved to the basement of Spencer Library. The 100 objects are being stored in special vaults in Spencer.
According to Jim Enyear art,
museum curator, there are no immediate plans to return the art
objects to Spooner.
The removal of the objects from Spooner resulted from a plan set up by the previous security administration at Kansas University under the late Mr. Moomau, the endowment association, the art museum and the insurance company that holds several million dollars worth of insurance on the art at KU.

In Paris, Mm. Nguyen Thi Binh, the Viet Cong "foreign minister," said Communist forces in Indochina will give all-out support, possibly including military aid, to Sihanouk in his bid to regain control of Cambodia.
The plan of action was set up for any emergency whether natural or man-made. The objects were to be removed if any of these organizations felt it necessary to do so. The plan was enacted by the insurance company at this time.
operating with the mediocre pieces on display.
Mme. Binh, speaking at a hastily called news conference, was asked directly whether the Communists were giving Sihanouk military aid.
The insurance company people have their doubts about the security of the museum and so there is a question whether the objects will ever be returned to the museum.
Enyeart said the most valuable and rare piece removed was a 15th century wood-carving of the Madonna by Tillman Riemenschneider.
She said the summit conference of Indochina Communist leaders with Communist China last weekend decided to "support vigorously" Sihanouk's efforts and "as to the question of how this aid will be provided, the interested parties are going to discuss it."

The new policy, made possible by Student Senate funds specifically for this purpose, is being tried on an experimental basis and will continue until the end of the semester.
Terrance Williams, assistant director of Watson Library, said Monday that so far only a small number of students had been using Watson Library during its extra hour of service.

Two weeks ago Watson Library began staying open one hour later
Enyear said the museum has over 12,000 objects but only 1,000 are ever displayed. He said that the excellent pieces had been removed and the museum was now
Williams said he didn't know whether the reason students were not using the extra hour was a lack of knowledge of the new hours or whether a poorly lit campus kept students from using the library at night. He said he hoped the new policy would be carried over next fall because he believed there was a need to keep the library open longer for those who had no other adequate place to study.
The new Watson Library hours are 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. to midnight Sunday.
Only the basement and first floor remain open the extra hour.
The top two floors remain closed.
