Eye witnesses to the grammatical encounter declare that Thomas Jensen, a policeman off duty, was driving Ills car at a high rate ot speed down University avenue, leaded north. Joanne Sanger, sophomore in Letters. Arts and 6clences, was attempting to make a U turn at tlie Intersection of | University and Tliirty-fifth place. She was driving very slowly, and the officer had to apply liis brakes with suddenness and manipulate his lutomobile with dexterity to avoid trashing with Miss Sanger.

.. CROWD GATHERS
A crowd immediately gathered, which disconcerted the policeman. His actions were such as to cause raizing and booing by the students. Complications arose and the climax came when students took the keys and radiator cap from tlie policeman’s car, let tlie air from one tire, and in other ways rendered it temporarily useless.
Other detectives arrived and attempted to disperse the crowd with little success.

TRI-POWER
PACT NEAR AT PARLEY
England, Japan, and U. S. Reach Complete Accord in Navy Programs.
London, April I!—(INS)—Complete agreement on disarmament programs was reached by tho delegates of Great Britain, tho United States and Japan today.
It was officially announced that the American and British representatives had accepted the reservations embodied in the Japanese sanction of the Reed-Matsudaira compromise agreement.
Acceptance of the Japanese reservations makes a tripartite treaty between the three major naval powers of the world a certainty. FIVE-POWER PACT LOOMS If tho security demands of France can now be satisfied, it is highly probable that a five-power disarmament treaty, the chief aim of the London naval conference, will materialize.
The reservations set forth in the Japanese acceptance were technical, and regarded by British and American experts as not affecting the efficacy of the compromise agreement obtained here by Senator David A. Iteed, one of the leading members of the American delegation, and Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese ambassador to England.
SHIP SCRAPPING One of the most notable features of the agreement is the decision to ommence scrapping of battleships before the end of 1931. Britain will scrap five, the United States three and Japan one. Previously Japan had held out for battleship scrapping in 1934 instead of earlier.
Ml agreed that the three powers were free to make any claims they desire in 1935, which will be taken in due course at the next disarmament conference.

Fire!! Rioting!! And Corner Gets Notorious
Several hundred students “milled” about the corner of Thirty-fifth place and University avenue at 8:30 p. m. last night, but it wasn’t a riot— not this time.
Screaming sirens called the spectators to the scene. Few students ever found out why they had come. But the reason was found by the ever wide-awake Trojan reporter— first with the latest, etc.
The cook left the fire lit under the soup in the Collegiate Malted Milk Shop, at 351G University avenue (adv.) when the shop was closed at around 6 p. m. The soup burned, the place was filled with smoke, the neighbors smelled it, and twelve assorted fire trucks, hook-and-ladders, and chemical wagons were on the scene in less than five minutes. Oh, very well.
rally will begin promptly at 9:55, and all students are urged to plan to be in the auditorium at that time,” states Leo Adams, student body president, who will preside.
Believed' by many to be not only the most popular orchestra among collegiate circles, but also the most popular dance orchestra in America today, “The Pennsylvanians” have gained an enviable reputation in the world of musical entertainment. With several years’ standing as Victor recording artists, and well known favorites on the stage as well, the orchestra is at present starring in the musical show “Itali Rail Daze” which is playing at the Mason Theater.
The members of the orchestra not only play, but sing and dance as well, and several specialy numbers will probably be offered on this morning’s program.
[Beginning in a small Pennsylvania town, and continuing through four years at Penn State, the story of the orchestra is one of a steady climb to success. The original four piece band, consisting of Fred Waring and his brother Tom, and two other boy was soon increased to eight pieces, aud played at local affairs at Penn. The “big break” as far as the band was concerned was when they were engaged to play Ann Arbor’s famous “Jay Hop.”
