Innocents president and Soon be as close as the nearest, Rev. Rex Knowles, pastor of the telephone equipped with a new eppartatus developed by the Col lege of Medicine, The new .equipment permits the transmission of heart signals over long distance telephone lines. The apparatus was perfected by Drs. Lowell Dunn, John Barmore and Walter Rahm Jr., of the cardiovascular labora tory. It first successfully used in June 1952. In practical operation, the equipment enables a rural doctor to, get expert advico on a heart case within an hour. This would eliminate the necessity of trans porting the patient over long dis tances for special treatment. The patient's electrocardio gram would be sent over the telephone, via the new equip ment, to specialists at the Uni versity laboratory in Omaha. After analyzing the electrocar diogram, the specialists would t e I e p h o ne instructions for treating the case to the local doctor. Taped recordings of the heart signals along with the doctors conversations may be kept as per manent records for future refer ence, teaching material and other Uses. In fact, the equipment was orig inally designed as a recording de vice.

Headlines By SALLY ADAMS Staff Writer Truman Bids Farewell WASHINGTON President Truman bid farewell to Congress Wednesday with the hone that growing Western strength mav force Soviet rulers to "become more receae irom tne cold war they began." II the effort fails, he said, the resulting atomic war "could extinguish millions of lives at one blow." Truman pledged his backing saying "To him, tq you, to all my fellow citizens, I say, Godspeed. May God bless our country and our cause." i Truman's farewell message mitted no legislative recommendations saying he would not infringe upon Eisenhower's right to chart the country's course after his in auguration. .He reviewed the progress of his "Fair Deal" saying it has served the nation well. In speaking of the future he the struggle with the Soviet "lies with us, not with the Communists." But he said, "One of the things that could defeat us is fear fear of the task we face, fear of adjusting to it, fear that breeds more fear, sapping our faith, corroding our liberties, turning citizen against citizent ally against 'ally." Peterson Presents Budget LINCOLN Gov. Val Peterson presented a 1953-55 budget total ing $170,830,874 to the Nebraska 21t million under the amount appropriated for this biennium. He said the property tax system which produces 28 per cent of the state's total income "still stinks" and i the Legislature should take "drastic action" to guarantee "that the burdens of government are equitably assessed upon our citizens." In a breakdown of the budget state funds will come from the Property taxes 26 per cent Sales and gross receipts taxes 26 per cent Federal aid 21 per cent Sale of goods and services 11 per cent Unexpended balances . 9 per cent License fees 4 per cent Other taxes 1 per cent The money would be appropriated in the following ways: Education , . 27 per cent Welfare '. 26 per cent Highways 21 per cent Hospitals, health and sanitation 11 per cent Protection of persons and property 6 per oent General government 6 per cent Correctional institutions 3 per cent Plane Missing Over Idaho SEATTLE: A plane carrying 37 soldiers home from Korea and Japan was reported missing Wednesday over Southern Idaho. The plane was bound for Ft. Jackson, S.C. Since home-bound rotation troops are taken to the military base nearest their home, the Ft. Jackson destination indicated most of the men aboard were prob ably from the South. George Nelson, Wyoming aeronautics director, said an aerial search had been started for the plane which was flying on instru ments. When asked if an emergency landing might have been made, a CAA spokesman said "that's awful rugged country." 8 nopp All -Out Campaign Boosts Petitions An all-out campaign will be price. Other book stores followed made on the University campus Thursday and Friday to give all students the opportunity to sign the circulating petition voicing ap proval of the retention of the sale of supplies in the Regents Book store. Booths will be set up in campus buildings both days, and petitions posted on bulletin boards in these buildings. The Student Council Wednes day passed the following resolu? tion concerning the sale of these supplies in the Regents Book store: "Resolved, we the Student Council of the University of Ne braska wish to go on record as favoring the retention of the sale of books and classroom sup plies at the Regents Bookstore owned by the University of Ne braska." The committee appointed to gather information on the contro versy reported that to date only 498 signatures were recorded on the circulating petitions in favor of retention of the sale of supplies in the bookstore. The committee said the petitions should have the signatures of the majority of Uni versity students, and at the pres ent rate of signing, there would be only 1,500 signatures by Friday, which is the deadline. The com mittee said most students seemed to care little either way, and not enough voiced opinion either for or against it, R. A. Stewart, manager of the Regents Bookstore, was inter viewed by the special committee, and the following results were submitted to the Council: 1. Stewart said there were two sides to the controversy. Either one thinks there should be a bookstore selling books and supplies, or doesn't think it should compete at all. 2. The sale of supplies levels out the work for full-time personnel, There are three reasons, accord ing to Stewart, for the sale of classroom supplies: (1) as a serv- ice to University students; (2) to level out the work for personnel; story, joe weni (3) to act as a governor in sale of !;in to exchange used books. New books come out a shirt. As he Warmer on a list price and all stores fol-1 handed it to the cleric he said, low this price. Used books t.c -elwith a sigh, "I don't know what sold at 75 per cent of list price size it is." until a few years ago when Re- The clerk replied, "This is the gents Bookstore began selling' time of 'year when there are only them for 70 per cent of the list, two sizes too big and too small." Ag Y Members To Elect 1953 Officers Today Ag Campus YMCA elections will be held in voting booths at the College Activities Building be tween 3 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thurs day. Nominations for offices are: realistic and less implacable, and to President-elect Eisenhower was read to Congress. He sub said "the ultimate advantage" in Legislature. That is more than recommended by the governor, following sources: no EBB l Regents' move. 3. No tax money Is used for the bookstore. It has always been self-supporting. Profits no back into salaries for full-time personnel. Stewart said the bookstore acts first as a service to the University and then as a profit-making business. 4. The volume of supply busi ness is under $2,000 a year, which Stewart said, is small. He said the whole matter is an old story of businessmen trying to eliminate competition, but the issue is being clouded so students won't know. 5. The bookstore pays $250 a month for rent including light, heat and water. It pays its own phone bill and personnel salar ies. The University and all its property is tax-exempt. A proposed amendment to the by-laws of the constitution of the Council was presented. The pro posed amendment reads, "Finalists for any campus election shall be chosen without the use of a ticket prerequisite." The proposal was moved and seconded, but no ac tion will be taken until next week. 3hft By LILA WANEK Staff Writer A bachelor is a man who knows his own shirt size.
