Department of Justice Starts Investigation Of P.W.A. Work
Republicans Open Attack On NRA; Progress of Gold Bill Slow
Obedience to Code Demanded
Public Conference To Be Held for All Codes In Next Month
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—(U.P)— Shorter hours and higher wages will be demanded of industry by the recovery administration at a general public conference on all approved codes next month, Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson idicated tonight.
■'We are going to insist on shorter hours," he told the National Dry Goods association. In a ringing
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18,-(i:.H)^ The Roosevelt administration ran into its first serious relief scandal today just as Republicans ln the senate started criticism of the NRA.
Meanwhile the treasury exhibited Impatience over the slow progress of the senate on thc gold bill, officials suggesting that heavy losses were resulting because of dollar strength abroad which could not be overcome until the stabilization fund is put ln action. A rift between the treasury and federal reserve board on gold seizure also came to light.
Wltnesud Called Tlic scandal ls one that has been wandering around ready to break loose for a long time. It Involves Iowa public works allotments, and the department of Justice today ordered United States Attorney Col-flesh of the southern Iowa district to proceed at once with presentation of evidence to the grand Jury. It is no secret that great political pressure has been exerted to stave off investigation. Iowa is Democratic for the first time in many years and a relief scandal won’t help to keep lt that way. Nevertheless, the department of Justice refused to pull Its punches.
A “thorough housecleaning” of the Pennsylvania civil works administration was demanded during the day by Joseph F. Ouffey, Pittsburgh Democratic leader.
Treasury Gets Gold In the senate Borah and Nye protested relaxing of the anti-trust laws and demanded protection for the small business man and the consumer while Robinson of Indiana accused the administration of seeking dictatorship.
Secretary Morgenthau reported a steady flow of hoarded gold into
An Open Letter To Lawrence Pritchard
(Today It the closing day of Student Body President Lawrence Pritchard's contest for the best letter suggesting project* which the Associated Stadentt should undertake. The Daily Trojan hopet that the contest will be worth while tn bringing out valuable student opinion, and It prints this open letter as It* contribution to the project.)
Dear Larry:
Although I do not expect you to enter my letter ln your contest because I am not submitting it through thc regular channels. I am writing anyway to give my idea of a constructive suggestion.
In the flrst place a brief analysis is necessary before we can suggest what should be done, and one particular phase of campus life Interests me tremendously. This ls the Intellectual activity of the student body.
In this respect a deplorable condition exists on most camp). There are few signs of student thought, iittle intellectual life, and as a prominent member of the Roosevelt cabinet would put it, "no youth movement worthy of the name." The same ls true at 8. C. to a certain extent.
To me lt hardly seems proper that we should leave our thinking to be done In the classroom, far removed from the problems of everyday life. Neither does lt seem right that we should look upon thinking as a professor's assignment, and do lt because we have to. Rather lt should arise from a desire on the part of the student to reason things out for himself, to look on the affairs of his city, state, and nation as his affairs, and to begin now to form thc habits of good reasoning, sound judgment, and active participation ln government that will make him a better American citizen.
lienee 1 suggest a vigorous pursuit of article I of your 12-polnt program, the Trojan open forum, as a means of stimulating student interest In current problems.
Further, there should be many more Intercollegiate debates on the rampti than there have been during the past semester.
Lastly, I suggest the formation of a group of informal luncheon or dinner clubs, so loosely organised that there would be no officers or by-lawt, and whose only form of leadership would be the presence of a faculty member at the meetings. The sole purpose of these clubs would be to furnish an opportunity for students to discuss Informally any subject under the sun. Perhaps the easiest way to start them would be for Interested professors to Invite several students to lunrh with them once a week.
I do not feel that these are the most ostentatious things that the Associated Students can do, but they are things that will have a l£3ting influence on the student body. Because lt ls a part of the function of the A.S.U.S.C. to make college more interesting and more valuable, I urge your consideration of my suggestions.

Model Housing
Governor Eugene Black of the federal reserve board told the Senate banking committee that his organization believed that the government should receive the profit from dollar depreciation, but that the banks should keep gold of the dollar value at that now held. The president, however, was emphatic ln his message ln declaring that all gold must go to the treasury.

Cuban Leader Black Tells of
Takes Office
HAVANA, Jan. 18.—(U.R>—Early recognition by the United States of Cuba's new government was hoped for tonight as Col. Carlos Mendleta, seasoned Nationalist leader, took over administration of the island republic.
Amid festive scenes of returning confidence, Colonel Mendieta was sworn ln as the fourth Cuban president within five months.
A clash between soldiers and strikers at the United railway yards near the docks, resulting In a brief burst of firing by the troops, caused momentary confusion, but the incident was Isolated. The troops charged the strikers were attempting sabotage against railway property.
Great mobs, cheering the new leader, thronged Into the palace, crushing around Mendleta tnd the supreme court Judges. The throng overflowed Into the broad avenues and surged down past the United States embassy, shouting: "Viva President Roosevelt!’’ "Viva Caffery! Viva Welles!”
Fight for Gold
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.—
A successful struggle by the federal reserve board to prevent the treasury trom seizing the entire gold stocks of reserve banks without an act of congress was described today by Gov. Eugene R. Black of the board before the senate banking committee.
He told the committee, holding hearings on the gold bill, that he still is opposed to surrendering the reserve bank gold to the treasury but agrees the government should have the profit on the metal after the dollar Is devaluated.
Governor Nathan Miller of the New York Federal Reserve bank, another witness, supported Black's position. Both financiers said the entire board was In agreement that the gold should remain ln federal reserve vaults and that arrangements could be made to give the treasury credit, at the banks for thc profit, which could be turned over to the government upon demand.

[ Olympic auditorium will be the ! favorite night spot for Trojan and | Bruin students tomorrow evening : when the varsity basketball teams | I of the two schools clash ln the first | of the "gigantic” city series. The frosh will clash at 7:30 p.m., with the varsity encounter following Immediately. Led by such stars as Outtero, Elliot, and Holbrook, the Trojans are heavy favorites to down the Bruins, who boast of only one scoring star, Captain Don Piper.
This will not detract from the Interest ln the game one whit, as the Bruins are noted for that old Ingredient known as fight and make any basketball gsme worth watching. It ls entirely possible that the Ucians may catch the Trojans on an off night and do some heavy scoring by means of their fast-breaking offense to score an upset. Basketball ls the sort of game where the league tall-ender ls just us likely to step up and smack the leader down as not.
No Keyman Used
The Trojans fe.#.ure a set attack with scoring plays that may end with any player under the basket for a set-up, thus making lt Impossible for the opponents to spot a key man and chill the offense. With Guttero controlling the tip-off, the team manager to maintain possession of the ball a majority of the time against such teams as the Bruins, as the fast-break offense banks everything on one wild dash for the basket.
The Bruins' style of play ls based on the theory that thc more chances you take for the basket, the more points you will score, which sounds pretty good. But against the Trojans they probably will lose possession of the ball as a result, and haveto wait for all opportunity to take the ball from the S.C. men, who have an exasperating habit of playing keep-away.
Fine Playing Expected
In all probability the crowd will be treated to some fancy sharp-shooting by Captain Piper of the Bruins, and then see his efforts matched by the short follow-ups of Guttero, and surpassed by the baskets of Holbrook, Kelly, and Captain Elliot.
The S.C. team will conduct Its final practice for thr gsme at Olympic auditorium thlt afternoon ln order to become more familiar with the more or less strange playing court. Yesterday afternoon the team had a strenuous workout, streselng out-of-bounds and free throw plays.
Men called by Leo Adams to | report to the Olympic auditorium tomorrow night at 5:30 p.m. to work for the S.C.—U.C.L.A. basketball game arc as follows:

to 3, one of the most decisive victories accorded any government ln recent years.
Ths vote came after the premier, in a rousing address, answered President Roosevelt's Wilson day 3peech on peace. He said France accepted two of the Rooseve 111 an principles to Insure peace, namely:
1. France will seek no territorial aggrandizement.
2. She will not increase her armaments. , ,___
Thc premier'! pledge of loyalty to the League of Nations, under fire recently with the resignations of Japan and Germany and a similar threat from Italy, drew enthus-iastic applause ln the senate, as did his reference to President Roose-mov€.
Students of B.C. should undertake, and a general stimulation of student interest ln the university legislative program ls sought by Pritchard. Though many students have already written letters, for the benefit of those who have not made suggestions, rules of the contest are set forth by the student president:
"Letter* shall consist of not more than 200 words, and mutt be either mailed to the student president's office or placed ln the 'ballot box’ for the purpose, located ln the Student Union fountain, before 3 o’clock this afternoon. The suggestion should be written ln Ink or typed on one side of the paper.”
Students who have not previously taken part ln Trojan student affairs are especially urged to participate ln the contest, though letters from known campus leaders will be welcomed for their value from personal experience ln student guidance. All ideas will be considered by Pritchard, and desirable ones will be used ln directing activities of the student body administration.
The competition has aroused Intense Interest on the S.C. campus, according to the number of letters already received, and other letters are expected up to the deallne this tfternoon.
Judging of the contest will be
conducted solely upon the merit of the suggestion and the practlblllty and constructive possibilities of the project, not upon grammatical form and et.vle, Pritchard said yesterday.
A 12-polnt program of student legislation has been announced by the student president, embodying changes ln the A.S.U.S.C. constitution, and inauguration of several other projects for the legislative council.
“A student should consider lt hls duty and privilege to send a letter ln this contest." Pritchard said, urging each student with plans for future Improvements of Trojan affairs to submit suggestions.
Some points ln the program already begun by the student governing body are the Initiation of a petition to the United States government asking an appropriation for a specialized three-months training course for 150 college and university students, to be selected throughout the nation, and the promotion of student Interest ln the university student government.

The Daily Trojan hopet that the contest will be worth while tn bringing out valuable student opinion, and It prints this open letter as It* contribution to the project.) Dear Larry: Although I do not expect you to enter my letter ln your contest because I am not submitting it through thc regular channels. I am writing anyway to give my idea of a constructive suggestion. In the flrst place a brief analysis is necessary before we can suggest what should be done, and one particular phase of campus life Interests me tremendously. This ls the Intellectual activity of the student body. In this respect a deplorable condition exists on most camp). There are few signs of student thought, iittle intellectual life, and as a prominent member of the Roosevelt cabinet would put it, "no youth movement worthy of the name." The same ls true at 8. C. to a certain extent. To me lt hardly seems proper that we should leave our thinking to be done In the classroom, far removed from the problems of everyday life. Neither does lt seem right that we should look upon thinking as a professor's assignment, and do lt because we have to. Rather lt should arise from a desire on the part of the student to reason things out for himself, to look on the affairs of his city, state, and nation as his affairs, and to begin now to form thc habits of good reasoning, sound judgment, and active participation ln government that will make him a better American citizen. lienee 1 suggest a vigorous pursuit of article I of your 12-polnt program, the Trojan open forum, as a means of stimulating student interest In current problems. Further, there should be many more Intercollegiate debates on the rampti than there have been during the past semester. Lastly, I suggest the formation of a group of informal luncheon or dinner clubs, so loosely organised that there would be no officers or by-lawt, and whose only form of leadership would be the presence of a faculty member at the meetings. The sole purpose of these clubs would be to furnish an opportunity for students to discuss Informally any subject under the sun. Perhaps the easiest way to start them would be for Interested professors to Invite several students to lunrh with them once a week. I do not feel that these are the most ostentatious things that the Associated Students can do, but they are things that will have a l£3ting influence on the student body. Because lt ls a part of the function of the A.S.U.S.C. to make college more interesting and more valuable, I urge your consideration of my suggestions. Wendell Sether, Editor, Dally Trojan. S.C.

Cuban Leader Black Tells of Takes Office HAVANA, Jan. 18.—(U.R>—Early recognition by the United States of Cuba's new government was hoped for tonight as Col. Carlos Mendleta, seasoned Nationalist leader, took over administration of the island republic. Amid festive scenes of returning confidence, Colonel Mendieta was sworn ln as the fourth Cuban president within five months. A clash between soldiers and strikers at the United railway yards near the docks, resulting In a brief burst of firing by the troops, caused momentary confusion, but the incident was Isolated. The troops charged the strikers were attempting sabotage against railway property. Great mobs, cheering the new leader, thronged Into the palace, crushing around Mendleta tnd the supreme court Judges. The throng overflowed Into the broad avenues and surged down past the United States embassy, shouting: "Viva President Roosevelt!’’ "Viva Caffery! Viva Welles!” Fight for Gold WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.— A successful struggle by the federal reserve board to prevent the treasury trom seizing the entire gold stocks of reserve banks without an act of congress was described today by Gov. Eugene R. Black of the board before the senate banking committee. He told the committee, holding hearings on the gold bill, that he still is opposed to surrendering the reserve bank gold to the treasury but agrees the government should have the profit on the metal after the dollar Is devaluated. Governor Nathan Miller of the New York Federal Reserve bank, another witness, supported Black's position. Both financiers said the entire board was In agreement that the gold should remain ln federal reserve vaults and that arrangements could be made to give the treasury credit, at the banks for thc profit, which could be turned over to the government upon demand. By Roland Applegate [ Olympic auditorium will be the ! favorite night spot for Trojan and Bruin students tomorrow evening : when the varsity basketball teams I of the two schools clash ln the first of the "gigantic” city series. The frosh will clash at 7:30 p.m., with the varsity encounter following Immediately. Led by such stars as Outtero, Elliot, and Holbrook, the Trojans are heavy favorites to down the Bruins, who boast of only one scoring star, Captain Don Piper. This will not detract from the Interest ln the game one whit, as the Bruins are noted for that old Ingredient known as fight and make any basketball gsme worth watching. It ls entirely possible that the Ucians may catch the Trojans on an off night and do some heavy scoring by means of their fast-breaking offense to score an upset. Basketball ls the sort of game where the league tall-ender ls just us likely to step up and smack the leader down as not. No Keyman Used The Trojans fe.#.ure a set attack with scoring plays that may end with any player under the basket for a set-up, thus making lt Impossible for the opponents to spot a key man and chill the offense. With Guttero controlling the tip-off, the team manager to maintain possession of the ball a majority of the time against such teams as the Bruins, as the fast-break offense banks everything on one wild dash for the basket. The Bruins' style of play ls based on the theory that thc more chances you take for the basket, the more points you will score, which sounds pretty good. But against the Trojans they probably will lose possession of the ball as a result, and haveto wait for all opportunity to take the ball from the S.C. men, who have an exasperating habit of playing keep-away. Fine Playing Expected In all probability the crowd will be treated to some fancy sharp-shooting by Captain Piper of the Bruins, and then see his efforts matched by the short follow-ups of Guttero, and surpassed by the baskets of Holbrook, Kelly, and Captain Elliot. The S.C. team will conduct Its final practice for thr gsme at Olympic auditorium thlt afternoon ln order to become more familiar with the more or less strange playing court. Yesterday afternoon the team had a strenuous workout, streselng out-of-bounds and free throw plays.

Constructive Ideas on projects or endeavors which the Associated French Premier Accepts Peace, Armament Policy PARIS, Jan. 18.—(U.P.)—Premier Camille Chautemps accepted President Roosevelt's world peace program today and pledged that France would not increase her armaments. Chautemps, concluding the foreign policy debate In the senate, obtained a vote of confidence on his ministry s pro- ____________Mpram on armaments and interna- tional affairs. The vote was 267 S. C. Mixed Chorus To Give Program Over KNX Today Religious chorale music by the Trojan Mixed chorus under the baton of Dr. J. Arthur Lewis, will be broadcast from the S C. campus over KNX this afternoon from 4:15 to 4:30. The program Includes piano and vocal solos, and chorus numbers. Ray Elliot, accompanist and piano soloist with the chorus, will play Schumann’s “Florestan." The Trojan chorus is singing a hymn of the 12th century "Beautiful Savior" with Lawrence Patterson as bas.« soloist to 3, one of the most decisive victories accorded any government ln recent years. Ths vote came after the premier, in a rousing address, answered President Roosevelt's Wilson day 3peech on peace. He said France accepted two of the Rooseve 111 an principles to Insure peace, namely: 1. France will seek no territorial aggrandizement. 2. She will not increase her armaments. , ,___ Thc premier'! pledge of loyalty to the League of Nations, under fire recently with the resignations of Japan and Germany and a similar threat from Italy, drew enthus-iastic applause ln the senate, as did his reference to President Roose-mov€. Students of B.C. should undertake, and a general stimulation of student interest ln the university legislative program ls sought by Pritchard. Though many students have already written letters, for the benefit of those who have not made suggestions, rules of the contest are set forth by the student president: "Letter* shall consist of not more than 200 words, and mutt be either mailed to the student president's office or placed ln the 'ballot box’ for the purpose, located ln the Student Union fountain, before 3 o’clock this afternoon. The suggestion should be written ln Ink or typed on one side of the paper.” Students who have not previously taken part ln Trojan student affairs are especially urged to participate ln the contest, though letters from known campus leaders will be welcomed for their value from personal experience ln student guidance. All ideas will be considered by Pritchard, and desirable ones will be used ln directing activities of the student body administration. The competition has aroused Intense Interest on the S.C. campus, according to the number of letters already received, and other letters are expected up to the deallne this tfternoon. Judging of the contest will be conducted solely upon the merit of the suggestion and the practlblllty and constructive possibilities of the project, not upon grammatical form and et.vle, Pritchard said yesterday. A 12-polnt program of student legislation has been announced by the student president, embodying changes ln the A.S.U.S.C. constitution, and inauguration of several other projects for the legislative council. “A student should consider lt hls duty and privilege to send a letter ln this contest." Pritchard said, urging each student with plans for future Improvements of Trojan affairs to submit suggestions. Some points ln the program already begun by the student governing body are the Initiation of a petition to the United States government asking an appropriation for a specialized three-months training course for 150 college and university students, to be selected throughout the nation, and the promotion of student Interest ln the university student government. Forming of a southern California college day at S.C.: organizing of a Trojan open forum; extending the Trojan Amazons and Knights to high schools of southern California; securing of talking picture and public address systems for the unlvertlty; IncreasUig number of national broadcasts of S.C. events; Dentists Quit Practice All Back to S.C. To Learn New Torture Methods Let us hope that no violent toothaches necessitating emergency axtractlon or treatment deveiop between Feb. 5 and 7, as those three days have been set aside exclusively for the technical advancement and progress of dental science, rather than to practice. With ail ethical dentist* or the state Invited to attend the sessions the 26'h annual con- vention of the Southern California Dental Alumni association ls to meet on these days at the clinic building of the University of Southern California College of Dentistry, l#th and Los Angeles streets.

The silver loving cup which ls to be awarded the winner of the letter contest ls on display ln the fountain of the 8tudent Union. Hope was expressed by Pritchard that student Interest, enlivened by the contest, would continue bringing suggestions to hls office through letters.
