Did “Don Politico,' a contributor to the January issue of the Wampus. have the real inside dope on the political situation at S.C. when he wrote his article for the magazine which appears on the campus next Wednesday?
Les Koritz. editor, claims the significance of the article written while thc student body president was in Washington, D.C., has recently been made evident. He says: “In view of the 12-point plan announced and put into effect by the student body president without parliamentary procedure, it Is evident that Don Politico knew what was going to happen even while Pritchard was away. The article explains the way Pritchard works in getting around ambiguous provisions of the A.S. U.S.C. constitution.”
Speculations on the Identity of thc writer of the expose of the Pritchard regime have been evaded by members of the Wampus staff, who have been sworn to secrecy. Further articles giving the “generally-unknown” on inside politics have been tentatively forecast by the staff. Illustrations of the work are by Eilert Richstein.
As a new feature, the Wampus will have portraits of six campus celebrities, including one professor, in a special section entitled, “Among Those Present.” Portraits by Whit Smith, assistant art editor, will be accompanied by personal comments. Names of the campus students and the professor will not be known until the magazine is on sale.
Taking up the defense for the college student against the motion picture. Bill Whitney has written an article in the humor magazine entitled, “College Life Can Be Interesting.” The associate editor will tell college students how to make their college life as interesting as they see it pictured In the movies. Illustrations will be the work of Roi Rydell.
An entirely new typographical style is one of the improvements cited by Editor Koritz that is in keeping with the policy of the staff this year: each Wampus an improvement on the last. A type face, nme-point Ionic No. 5 will replace the 10-potnt Tempo Light which has been used for the first three issues of the semester. The advantages of the new type, the editor said, are greater readability and I greater condensation. This means I an addition of approximately 300 words to each page in the January issue.
The cover illustration is a com
3:00 p.m. Pacific standard time, 24 hours and 35 minutes after the takeoff from Paradise cove, San Francisco bay.
The feat surpassed all previous flight records from California to Hawaii. The former record of 25 hours. 36 minutes was held by Ernest Smith, who left San Francisco in a light monoplane on Julv 14, 1927.
Ten planes previously tried the long flight over the capricious Pacific. Five of them dropped into the sea with a loss of seven lives.
Ovation on Arrival
There was a deafening ovation as the navy airmen crawled from their shops. Tugs and steamers shrieked blasts of welcome. Hundreds of persons, crowding nearby piers, set up a tremendous shout. Naval, military and civic delegations pushed forward to bestow a hero’s honors on the 41-year-old commander and his 29 officers and men.
The fliers took oil at 2:25 p.m. (P.S.T.) yesterday in the face of a report that a storm area was brewing near Hawaii. In their record dash they beat out the storm and swung in under an ever-lowering ceiling, with time to spare and with extra gasoline in the tanks of their planes.
The first three planes- landed in order, Commander McGinnis' 10-P-l in the lead. The second three landed in order. All were down at 12:37 p.m. Honolulu time.
Low Ceiling
Thc sky was a dirty grey as the squadron took form in the distance. The ceiling was low. The drabness overhead was relieved by occasional ragged holes ln the cloud blanket through which the sun gleamed. The giant radio towers which guided the planes stood like sentinels over the harbor.
Honolulu made it a holiday. Stores were closed.
The shores of Pearl harbor were dotted with crowds. Individuals scrambled for vantage points. Police were vigilant on Diamond Head Point, east of the city, from which fliers from the mainland are usually first sighted.
Welcoming Group
At 2:40 p.m. (P.S.T.) the planes were discerned over Koko Head, 15 miles distant.
Through the shouting throng, army, navy and civic celebraities moved to the broad cement ramp that slopes down to the water’s edge and up which the planes were to taxi.
The greeters included an aloha committee, ready with the Hawaiian leis; Mayor Fred Wright; Charles Frazier, president of the Honolulu chamber of commerce: General
Winning Drama Shop Play Will Enter Contest
Three One-Act Skits To Be Given Next Friday In Touchstone
Audience To Be Judge in Novel Preliminaries At School Program
Additional interest ln the three one-act plays. “War Brides,” “Make Up Your Mind." and ''Curses! Foiled Again!'' to be presented by Drama shop next Friday evening, Jan. 19, ls being evidenced in university dramatic circles owing to the announcement that the most successful of these productions will be entered in the Los Angeles county drama association tournament of one-act plays. The competition ls to be held Feb. 28 and March 1, 2, 3.
Audience To Judge In discussing this movement, Mary Elizabeth Hendricks, president of the organization, stated “To give the audience an opportunity to act as Judges in the selection of the play to be entered, and to enable us to obtain constructive criticism of our work, ushers will distribute cards upon which the choice and any comments may be written. This Is being done In a sincere effort to perfect our work and further the purpose of our being known as a work shop for students interested in dramatic achievement.”
“Curses! Foiled Again!" is an original play by Bess Matthew, who will direct her presentation. Miss Matthew, a Junior in the School of Speech, is a transfer student from Modesto Players guild. She should handle the directing of the play with the ability of a veteran, having acted as assistant director at thc Delano high school.
Plot Is New Although a real "mellerdrammer" with ali the embellishments necessary to make thp audience feel the tenseness of the plot, “Curses! Foiled Again!" does not follow the conventional pattern of the heroine being in love with the handsome, brave hero. Instead, she chooses to bestow her affections upon the villain. Novelty will be introduced into the play in that there as a very great possibility that the audience will be in sympathy with the villain, an heretofore unheard of situation.
Those in the cast are Jerry AI-labzan. Marian Bills, Phil Bromley, and Ellis Dungan in the roles of villain, heroine, detective, and hero, respectively. The identity of the murdered man cannot be disclosed until the night of the performance.
"Make Up Your Mind,” directed by Kenneth Murphy, ls an adaptation of "Radio Romeo,” a comedy-farce in two acts by Hilliard Booth.
Service Groups To Meet T omorrow
Representatives of the Trojan Knights. Amazons, Squires, and Blue Key are requested by Lawrence Pritchard to meet with him at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning in Bowen hall, Philosophy building.

Admits ‘Unethical’ Move; Says Deposits Were Only Temporary
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-0)— Cash balances of the Ford Motor j company were used to give banks j of the Guardian Detroit group a strong appearance in annual state ments, Edsel Ford admitted today when he was summoned as a wit- | ness before the senate banking committee.
"Special and temporary” deposits were made by the motor company, the son of Henry Ford swore, in banks of the group of which he was p director.
Asked by Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel, why these deposits were made, Ford said:
Ethics Questioned
"To increase the deposits ln the | annual statements I suppose, but I'm not sure.”
“As a director and business man,” Pecora asked, “do you think that was an ethical method of enhancing the appearance of a bank's condition?"
Ford started to ask an attorney a question, but Pecora demanded an immediate reply without consultation.
“Do you consider it was ethical?" he demanded again.
“No, I don’t suppose it was,” Ford replied uncomfortably.
Securities Deals
“Then why did you do it?” asked Pecora.
“1 don't know,” Ford replied
Ford also admitted under the close questioning of Pecora that the Ford Motor company Indulged ln special securities transactions in order to “show diversification of assets in our annual statement." The specific transaction under discussion was conversion of $15,000,-000 in cash into government securities on Dec. 31, 1932, and sale of the iame securities early ln January, 1933.
Ford denied that thc deal was Intended to escape taxes. He conferred with his attorney before making the statement.
When the Detroit Guardian banks closed last February, Ford testified, the Ford Motor company had $32,000,000 on deposit in the various Institutions. Of this only $11,500,000 has been recovered, he said. He said he advanced $1,000,-000 ln cash and $5,000,000 in securities in an attempt to save the banks.
Future Trouble Expected From Both Houses as Voting Nears Tie
F'irst U. S. Ambassador To Russia Approved By Senate Vote
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—(U.P)— The administration today pulled both houses of congress back into line, but not without signs that further trouble may develop.
Administration forces moved quietly with little public show of strength, but the Job was effective. The house almost rebelled, with 84 Democrats bolting on a move to apply a rigid gag to prevent expenditures for veterans and restoration of the federal employes pay cut. The ; farm labor delegation of five also opposed the rule. The administration won by the close vote of 197 to 192.
On the senate side, some of the Democrats who bolted yesterday to amend thc liquor tax bill by putting ail extra tariff on imports from defaulting nations came back to the fold. The bill was reconsidered, the amendment—opposed by the white house—was killed, and the bill went over to thc house, which approved lt ln final form. It now goes to the white house.
Johnson Bill Passed After responding to administration pressure on this measure, the senate went rampaging again and passed a bill by Benator Hiram j Johnson, Rep., Calif., prohibiting any financial transactions with defaulting debtor nations. It provides a $10,000 fine or five years Imprisonment for violators.
The senate adopted a resolution calling on the budget director to file weekly reports on recovery and emergency expenditures. Thc administration didn't oppose the resolution openly, but was not enthusiastic over it.
Reserve Gold Considered At the white house, attention was shifted for the moment from congress to money. The president met Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau. Attorney-General Cummings and Federal Reserve Board Governor Eu-gent Black to discuss monetary moves. Among those considered, it was learned authoritatively, was the plon to rail ln all federal reserve gold.
The long-awaited appearance of Edsel Ford before the senate banking committee brought an admission from him that the Ford Motor company made heavy temporary deposits in banks of the Detroit guardian group to make their statements look better. He conceded that it might have been unethical. His testimony will continue tomorrow.
Rho Delta Epsilon To Sponsor Dinner
Jesuit Explorer Believes Earth Is Still in Ice Age
This hemisphere is nearing the end oi the last great ice age, if theories of Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the "Alaska Volcano Priest,” are correct. Scientific observation made by the exploring Jesuit last year while in Alaska tend to support this hypothesis.
Presenting motion pictures and slides, Father Hubbard will describe the expedition's activities under the title "Mush. You Maleniutes,” in Bovard auditorium, Jan. 25. The lecture ls under the auspices of Blue Key, national servico organization, and the Pacific Geographic society.

Three descents Into Akutan. a new volcano discovered by Fafher
Hubbard's party, were made by the explorers last summer. Nine miles ln circumference, the volcano is active in many places. A peculiar feature of thc great crater is the lake coverng ts floor. Ice piles up at one end of the lake, while warm water flows from the other. It was thus possible for members of the expedition to dive from snowbanks for a swim in waters comparable to those of Waikiki.
Remains of primitive villages were excavated by the party. From the relics discovered Father Hubbard has built up the probable story of how the early Alaskans lived, fished, hunted, and made war.

"The West Wind"—by Rowley. ‘‘Dawn”—by Jenkins
HONOLULU, Jan. 11—Oi—Lieutenant Commander Kneffler Mc-Oinnis, tired but casual after a record-smashing flight from the United States, described the murky weather and cross-winds that beset his squadron of six planes, ln his ilrsl interview given exclusively to the United Press today.
He was asked what stage of the flight he considered most difficult.
"There was no choice,” he replied. "The weother was mostly murky throughout the night.
"The only incident worth notice was when we lost' the 10P-5, In charge of Lieutenant John Perry.”
(Perry’s plane dropped behind the others and lost sight of the squadron about 800 miles from the | Golden Gate. Later lt speeded ahead of the squadron by 40 miles, and ttlll later regained formation.)
“What happened to the 10P-5," Commander McGinnis was asked.
“Apparently," replied the 41-year old veteran of 20 years ln the navy air service, "Lieutenant Perry
climbed above the 6000 foot ceiling. The other planes stayed below, and he lost sight of us."
He was asked concerning the practicability of an airmail service over the Pacific ocean.
"Sure it’s practical." he said, "why don’t you get yourself a job." He roared with laughter.
McGinnis said he was without tlcep throughout the flight, but that members of his crew in the 10P-1 caught a few "catnaps.”
Lieutenant T. D. Guinn of Atlanta, first to get off the water of Paradise cove in his 10P-4 .found thc flight "uneventful." He was in the air about two hours longer than four of the other planes.
“We had a cross wind throughout," he said.
Lieutenant Frank Albert Davis of St. Louis, pilot of the 10P-2, tested the amount of gasoline left ip the tanks of his planes. He fount. 480 gallons, estimated to be sufflicent to have carried the plane beyond Honolulu for seven hours el flying.

Les Koritz. editor, claims the significance of the article written while thc student body president was in Washington, D.C., has recently been made evident. He says: “In view of the 12-point plan announced and put into effect by the student body president without parliamentary procedure, it Is evident that Don Politico knew what was going to happen even while Pritchard was away. The article explains the way Pritchard works in getting around ambiguous provisions of the A.S. U.S.C. constitution.” Speculations on the Identity of thc writer of the expose of the Pritchard regime have been evaded by members of the Wampus staff, who have been sworn to secrecy. Further articles giving the “generally-unknown” on inside politics have been tentatively forecast by the staff. Illustrations of the work are by Eilert Richstein. As a new feature, the Wampus will have portraits of six campus celebrities, including one professor, in a special section entitled, “Among Those Present.” Portraits by Whit Smith, assistant art editor, will be accompanied by personal comments. Names of the campus students and the professor will not be known until the magazine is on sale. Taking up the defense for the college student against the motion picture. Bill Whitney has written an article in the humor magazine entitled, “College Life Can Be Interesting.” The associate editor will tell college students how to make their college life as interesting as they see it pictured In the movies. Illustrations will be the work of Roi Rydell. An entirely new typographical style is one of the improvements cited by Editor Koritz that is in keeping with the policy of the staff this year: each Wampus an improvement on the last. A type face, nme-point Ionic No. 5 will replace the 10-potnt Tempo Light which has been used for the first three issues of the semester. The advantages of the new type, the editor said, are greater readability and I greater condensation. This means I an addition of approximately 300 words to each page in the January issue. The cover illustration is a com 3:00 p.m. Pacific standard time, 24 hours and 35 minutes after the takeoff from Paradise cove, San Francisco bay. The feat surpassed all previous flight records from California to Hawaii. The former record of 25 hours. 36 minutes was held by Ernest Smith, who left San Francisco in a light monoplane on Julv 14, 1927. Ten planes previously tried the long flight over the capricious Pacific. Five of them dropped into the sea with a loss of seven lives. Ovation on Arrival There was a deafening ovation as the navy airmen crawled from their shops. Tugs and steamers shrieked blasts of welcome. Hundreds of persons, crowding nearby piers, set up a tremendous shout. Naval, military and civic delegations pushed forward to bestow a hero’s honors on the 41-year-old commander and his 29 officers and men. The fliers took oil at 2:25 p.m. (P.S.T.) yesterday in the face of a report that a storm area was brewing near Hawaii. In their record dash they beat out the storm and swung in under an ever-lowering ceiling, with time to spare and with extra gasoline in the tanks of their planes. The first three planes- landed in order, Commander McGinnis' 10-P-l in the lead. The second three landed in order. All were down at 12:37 p.m. Honolulu time. Low Ceiling Thc sky was a dirty grey as the squadron took form in the distance. The ceiling was low. The drabness overhead was relieved by occasional ragged holes ln the cloud blanket through which the sun gleamed. The giant radio towers which guided the planes stood like sentinels over the harbor. Honolulu made it a holiday. Stores were closed. The shores of Pearl harbor were dotted with crowds. Individuals scrambled for vantage points. Police were vigilant on Diamond Head Point, east of the city, from which fliers from the mainland are usually first sighted. Welcoming Group At 2:40 p.m. (P.S.T.) the planes were discerned over Koko Head, 15 miles distant. Through the shouting throng, army, navy and civic celebraities moved to the broad cement ramp that slopes down to the water’s edge and up which the planes were to taxi. The greeters included an aloha committee, ready with the Hawaiian leis; Mayor Fred Wright; Charles Frazier, president of the Honolulu chamber of commerce: General Winning Drama Shop Play Will Enter Contest Three One-Act Skits To Be Given Next Friday In Touchstone Audience To Be Judge in Novel Preliminaries At School Program Additional interest ln the three one-act plays. “War Brides,” “Make Up Your Mind." and ''Curses! Foiled Again!'' to be presented by Drama shop next Friday evening, Jan. 19, ls being evidenced in university dramatic circles owing to the announcement that the most successful of these productions will be entered in the Los Angeles county drama association tournament of one-act plays. The competition ls to be held Feb. 28 and March 1, 2, 3. Audience To Judge In discussing this movement, Mary Elizabeth Hendricks, president of the organization, stated “To give the audience an opportunity to act as Judges in the selection of the play to be entered, and to enable us to obtain constructive criticism of our work, ushers will distribute cards upon which the choice and any comments may be written. This Is being done In a sincere effort to perfect our work and further the purpose of our being known as a work shop for students interested in dramatic achievement.” “Curses! Foiled Again!" is an original play by Bess Matthew, who will direct her presentation. Miss Matthew, a Junior in the School of Speech, is a transfer student from Modesto Players guild. She should handle the directing of the play with the ability of a veteran, having acted as assistant director at thc Delano high school. Plot Is New Although a real "mellerdrammer" with ali the embellishments necessary to make thp audience feel the tenseness of the plot, “Curses! Foiled Again!" does not follow the conventional pattern of the heroine being in love with the handsome, brave hero. Instead, she chooses to bestow her affections upon the villain. Novelty will be introduced into the play in that there as a very great possibility that the audience will be in sympathy with the villain, an heretofore unheard of situation. Those in the cast are Jerry AI-labzan. Marian Bills, Phil Bromley, and Ellis Dungan in the roles of villain, heroine, detective, and hero, respectively. The identity of the murdered man cannot be disclosed until the night of the performance. "Make Up Your Mind,” directed by Kenneth Murphy, ls an adaptation of "Radio Romeo,” a comedy-farce in two acts by Hilliard Booth.

Admits ‘Unethical’ Move; Says Deposits Were Only Temporary WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-0)— Cash balances of the Ford Motor j company were used to give banks j of the Guardian Detroit group a strong appearance in annual state ments, Edsel Ford admitted today when he was summoned as a wit- ness before the senate banking committee. "Special and temporary” deposits were made by the motor company, the son of Henry Ford swore, in banks of the group of which he was p director. Asked by Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel, why these deposits were made, Ford said: Ethics Questioned "To increase the deposits ln the annual statements I suppose, but I'm not sure.” “As a director and business man,” Pecora asked, “do you think that was an ethical method of enhancing the appearance of a bank's condition?" Ford started to ask an attorney a question, but Pecora demanded an immediate reply without consultation. “Do you consider it was ethical?" he demanded again. “No, I don’t suppose it was,” Ford replied uncomfortably. Securities Deals “Then why did you do it?” asked Pecora. “1 don't know,” Ford replied Ford also admitted under the close questioning of Pecora that the Ford Motor company Indulged ln special securities transactions in order to “show diversification of assets in our annual statement." The specific transaction under discussion was conversion of $15,000,-000 in cash into government securities on Dec. 31, 1932, and sale of the iame securities early ln January, 1933. Ford denied that thc deal was Intended to escape taxes. He conferred with his attorney before making the statement. When the Detroit Guardian banks closed last February, Ford testified, the Ford Motor company had $32,000,000 on deposit in the various Institutions. Of this only $11,500,000 has been recovered, he said. He said he advanced $1,000,-000 ln cash and $5,000,000 in securities in an attempt to save the banks. Future Trouble Expected From Both Houses as Voting Nears Tie F'irst U. S. Ambassador To Russia Approved By Senate Vote WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—(U.P)— The administration today pulled both houses of congress back into line, but not without signs that further trouble may develop. Administration forces moved quietly with little public show of strength, but the Job was effective. The house almost rebelled, with 84 Democrats bolting on a move to apply a rigid gag to prevent expenditures for veterans and restoration of the federal employes pay cut. The ; farm labor delegation of five also opposed the rule. The administration won by the close vote of 197 to 192. On the senate side, some of the Democrats who bolted yesterday to amend thc liquor tax bill by putting ail extra tariff on imports from defaulting nations came back to the fold. The bill was reconsidered, the amendment—opposed by the white house—was killed, and the bill went over to thc house, which approved lt ln final form. It now goes to the white house. Johnson Bill Passed After responding to administration pressure on this measure, the senate went rampaging again and passed a bill by Benator Hiram j Johnson, Rep., Calif., prohibiting any financial transactions with defaulting debtor nations. It provides a $10,000 fine or five years Imprisonment for violators. The senate adopted a resolution calling on the budget director to file weekly reports on recovery and emergency expenditures. Thc administration didn't oppose the resolution openly, but was not enthusiastic over it. Reserve Gold Considered At the white house, attention was shifted for the moment from congress to money. The president met Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau. Attorney-General Cummings and Federal Reserve Board Governor Eu-gent Black to discuss monetary moves. Among those considered, it was learned authoritatively, was the plon to rail ln all federal reserve gold. The long-awaited appearance of Edsel Ford before the senate banking committee brought an admission from him that the Ford Motor company made heavy temporary deposits in banks of the Detroit guardian group to make their statements look better. He conceded that it might have been unethical. His testimony will continue tomorrow. Rho Delta Epsilon To Sponsor Dinner Jesuit Explorer Believes Earth Is Still in Ice Age This hemisphere is nearing the end oi the last great ice age, if theories of Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the "Alaska Volcano Priest,” are correct. Scientific observation made by the exploring Jesuit last year while in Alaska tend to support this hypothesis. Presenting motion pictures and slides, Father Hubbard will describe the expedition's activities under the title "Mush. You Maleniutes,” in Bovard auditorium, Jan. 25. The lecture ls under the auspices of Blue Key, national servico organization, and the Pacific Geographic society. The university's share of the proceeds of the evening ls to be added to tiie student scholarship fund. Known as an explorer and producer of short motion pictures of Alaska, Father Hubbard is also famous for ills scientific investigations in the geological field. He is connected in this work with the Unversity of Santa Clara. Three descents Into Akutan. a new volcano discovered by Fafher Hubbard's party, were made by the explorers last summer. Nine miles ln circumference, the volcano is active in many places. A peculiar feature of thc great crater is the lake coverng ts floor. Ice piles up at one end of the lake, while warm water flows from the other. It was thus possible for members of the expedition to dive from snowbanks for a swim in waters comparable to those of Waikiki. Remains of primitive villages were excavated by the party. From the relics discovered Father Hubbard has built up the probable story of how the early Alaskans lived, fished, hunted, and made war.
