Book Thieves Punished
Southern California students who have been wondering just how the Men’s Council functions may receive a few shocks when they hear all of the recent decisions of the group.
Two decisions just released for publication cover student book stealing’. One student has been placed on disciplinary probation for the remainder of this semester and has been suspended for the following semester. Another studeut book thief was given the same punishment. However, two weeks later he was caught cheating. As a result, he was suspended indefinitely from the university, the suspension to begin immediately.
The quick and just sentences meted out by the Men’s council are to be commended. They will serve, in a minor way, to inspire respect for the council, and, in a major way, to inspire more respect for law and order on tbe campus.

With them went some 120 artillerymen and Infantrymen, deserting insurgents seeking safety In flight. A force of 4,000 federal troops and almost as many more civil guards aud cariblneers now occupy Jaca and are camped around the town. Martial law still prevails there.

By HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—(UP) —President Hoover's shock troops —his Republican majority In the House of Representatives—prepared to go Into action tomorrow to force congressional action on an unemployment relief program which would acoord with the President's views nnd desires.
Indications today were that tho House would trim the Senate's $60,000,000 farm loan bill to |30,-000,000, eliminating the appropriations for food.
SUPPORTERS QUIET On the Senate front, the same battle went on with Mr. Hoover's supporters still very quiet and ln the minority against somewhat resentful administration men, western Republicans and Democrats.
The LaFollette resolution laying Mr. Hoover’s opposition to a tax increase for relief purposes to an alleged consideration for wealthy taxpayers is duo to be called up tomorrow, with Republican senators fearful that Mr. Hoover will carry out his implied threat of appealing again to the country through publicity, for support against the Senate.
HOUSE RESTRAINS The situation exemplifies the whole course of legislative battles of the last decade. The House leadership captained by Speaker Nicholas Longworth, aided by re strlctlve rules, alms to prevent offering amendments to the $30,000,-000 farm bill, which has been substituted by committee for the Senate $60,000,000 measure. Democrats are planning a fight.
The Republican leadership plans, as It has done repeatedly in the past, notably in the case of the farm debenture, Muscle Shoals, and lame duck bills, to kill off the Senate proposals.
TO BLOCK BILL House Democrats have been called by Floor-leader John N. Garner In force to try to block the administration move tomorrow on the farm loan hill. A two-thirds majority Ib required to suspend rules and proceed on the $30,000,000 bill without allowing amendments.
The Republican leaders, who term the additional amount for food a "dole,” are doubtful that they can hold together even a bare majority for the smaller amount on a direct vote between the two sums.
The leaders still hope, despite the hot fights ln both houses, to complete action on both the public works and the farm loan bill by the end of the week, so President Hoover can sign them before Christmas.
