Another development in the controversy involving the Federal Board men is the step taken by the Los Angeles L'nit, Ex-Service Men’s Anti-Bonus League. This organization has unanimously voted to intercede for the disabled vocational student veterans at the University of Southern California affected adversely by a recent order of the Veterans' Bureau directing that all degree students here and elsewhere shall go off training pay from the end of the term in June until the fa'l term.
The order applies to such students at all colleges and universities taking vocational training for degrees. There are about 365 disabled veterans at the University of Southern California. Hsilf these trainees will lose their pay. They have protested the order from the bureau and are being backed im by the American Legion posts as well as other veterans’ organizations.
The Los Angeles unit of the Ex-Service Men's Anti-Bonus League has urged the national league headquarters to go to the aid of the disabled veteran trainees. National President Durham and his staff have been asked to attend to this matter personally, since the league has stressed its motto “For the disabled everything, for the able-bodied nothing.”
The Los Angeles unit h?.s also written to California Congressional delegates to take up the protest and secure all possible relief for the trainees in question.

Writings of Other S. C. Professors
Dr. C. M. Case, professor of sociol- j ogy, has had an important manuscript | accepted for publication by Harcourt, Brace and Company, prominent publishers of New York City. The book is a Source Book of Readings in Sociology with editorial and other notes.
It is to appear from the press within the next few weeks and will help materially in solving the problem of collateral readings wiiich is now a serious matter in large classes where only one or two copies of a given book that is assigned by the instructor are in the library.
This newr work begins with the biological, ethnological and psychological foundations of sociology- and, following the latest thought, approaches current isocial problems from the stand- j point of social psychology. In fact, this is almost a book in social psychology the central element of sociology. The book contains excerpts from the writings of Dr. C. E. Rainwater and other members of the sociology faculty here as well as a number of original contributions from the pen of Dr. Case himself. This is the second book by Professor Case, the first having been published a year ago when the author was head of the sociology-work in the University of Iowa, and w-hich was entitled “Non-Violent Coercion”—a treatise that has been favorably received by critics bcth in the United States and abroad.

Vaudeville in large gobs is the word for the Senior Road Show\ which will make its appearance on the campus Wednesday, May 7. Although that date may seem a long, long way off to the inveterate "tomorrow night” dater. it is not too soon to begin to save up for two seats, front center, at 75 cents the head.
The mere fact that prices have been reduced has nothing to do with the merits of the show, but indicates the kind hearts of the Show Committee, wh'ch is composed of George Hall as chairman, and Ruth Seaver, Altabelle Ross, Phoebe Sisco and Solly Seamans. With the assistance of Stanley-Wheeler, business manager, seats will be sold at the aforementioned price of 75 cents for the ground fioor and th*> first four rows of Bovard Auditorium, w'hile the remainder of the house will be disposed of 50 cents.
