To The Editor
PRIZES OFFERED IN WRITING CONTEST
Station K. M. P. C., Mar. 21: (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): I got quite a kick out of speaking over the air for the first time from station K. M. P. C. last Wednesday afternoon. A certain authority on radio broadcasting claims that ono speaking Into a "mike’’ for the first time feels exceedingly self-conscious. Well, he's way off—I was unconscious!
There is one real difficulty about speaking over the air. You can’t get the feel of your audience. You don't know whether you are merely taking the air or about to get the air. No sooner was the broadcast finished than Don Petty, the station air-master, rushed out and began writing some fan mail to himself.
Then Don and I waited for some telephone response to our broadcast. One came immediately. Don answered the phone, and a young chamber maid of the oyster beds in Santa Monica purred out in a mentholated voice: “I just had to call up to tell you how much I enjoyed your program. It was simply wonderful. You know I always tune in every afternoon on K. F. I.
Yours for less pan-mail,

By ART GIERLICH
Thirty-six track-and-field men from Southern California will entrain tonight at the Southern Pacific station at 7:45 o’clock, and a few minutes later the Padre will be puffing its way toward Berkeley where Dean Cromwell’s powerful crew will wage war against the California Bears tomorrow afternoon. The local athletes have been assigned to cars 97 and 98 for the northward trek, and last^track loss in history. This year
minute warnings and instructions will be issued by Cromwell from this section of the Espee train.
While in Berkeley, the Trojans will make their headquarters at the hotel Durant, just a block from the stadium where they are favored to crush the Bears in their first intercollegiate dual meet of the season.

the meet is scheduled to be another such runaway, only on not such a large scale. Of late, the Bear men have been improving rapidly, a fact which leads mauv to believe that they might upset many pre-meet predictions.

Compromise Near In Tariff Battle
Washington, March 27.-ONS)— The final outcome of the congressional battle over repealing the President's flexible tariff powers, it appeared today, probably will be the abandonment of this experiment and adoption of a new system for handling emergency changes in the law.
The clash over the flexible provision will be one of the major problems facing house and senate conferees when they meet next week.
A compromise may be adopted, giving the President power to recommend emergency revisions on the basis ot reports irom the tariff commission.
Two plans were suggested for carrying the President’s recommendations Into law. One would give congress thc power to veto the rate changes within 60 days. The other would provide for action by congress within 60 days, and killing the proposed change of congress failed to act. It seemed likely the first plan would be favored by the conferees.
