Interfraternity Head Explains
Freshman Rushing Regulation
Because many freshmen have asked to have the social fiat-ernily rushing rules clarified, Fred Chase, president of the Inter-fraternity Council, yesterday made the following statement.
“As it says in the freshman handbook, there is only one rushing rule now in torce; but that rule appears to be misunderstood by many new men.
"According to this rule, a man is officially pledged a fraternity a ssoon as he accepts a bid or button, after he is duly registered. Thereafter, lf he wishes to sever his pledgeshlp in favor of another fraternity, be must wait the 18-week period before re-pledging.
"Before he registers, the candidate is not considered officially
pledged. He may change his mind as often as he pleases.
"Pledge lists of social fraternities will be printed Friday. The deadline for getting names included in the list will be tonight at 6:00 p.m.”
An Interfraternity council meeting was announced for next Wednesday night. September 22
AMERICAN FLYERS BLAME FUEL FOR FLIGHT’S FAILURE
Moyle, Allen, Rescued by Steamer on Way to Seattle.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1*— (l'P)—Shortage of gasoline and oil was responsible for the forced landing of Don Moyle, "jail or glory" flyer, and Cecil A. Allen on an uninhabited island in the Bering Sea, according to a message received by the navy radio sta-tio here tonight.
This brought to an end a silence which had enveloped the fliers since they took off from Shamshiro beach, Japao, on an attempted non-stop flight to Seattle.
The pair look off early In the morning of Sept. 8 and were due in Seattle about noon Sept 9. When they failed lo put In an appearance they were believed to have fallen into the perilous waters of the North Pacific..
Moyle and Allen are safe at the lltile village of Mlano Pilgino In the vicinity of Cape Navarin on the southern coast of Siberia, the message said.
This information was relayed here by thc navy radio station at SI. Paul's Island, which had been in communication wllh the Russian steamships Buriat and Per byu Krabolov.
"Reports from the steamers Indicated Moyle and Allen had been set ashore at lattltude 62 north, longitude 180 east,” the message said.
The position given is about 600 miles southwest of Nome, far to the north of the Aleutian Islands, over which the Log Angeieg fliers had planned to fly. They had been on a northbound steamer for some time before reaching the village.

Delaying New Library Park
Implications of advertising matter distributed by one of our competitors are incorrect. While it has been reported to us that the proprietor of that store has purchased additional property on University avenue, the university has not been able to purchase the present book store location at any price considered reasonable by the board of trustees.
The attitude <>f “holding up” the university in its attempt to secure necessary properties to carry on its expanding work can no longer be tolerated.
In order to determine thc real valuation of property in question, the university made the proposal that a board of appraisers be appointed: one appraiser to he appointed by the owner of thc property, one by live university, and a third by these two appointees. Such a board of experts, in the opinion of the university, would have arrived at a figure acceptable to both parties. This proposal, once accepted by the property owner, was afterward refused by him.
The university ferls that it is being asked to pay for the remaining property on the. site of thc Alumni Memorial campus a pricc considerably in excess of its real valuation. As a public service institution it cannot so spend its money—virtually held in trust.
The university believes that it has at all times maintained a policy of dealing fairly and squarely with property owners in the vicinity of the campus. The University is willing at all times to pay a price commensurate with tbe real valuation of property which it acquires, but it does not feel that it should be placed in thc position of squandering its funds by paying exorbitant prices.

General Electric Head Outlines
Industrial Stabilization Plan
NEW YORK, Sept. IB—(UP)—A sweeping proposal for the sta bilizatlon of Americun industry to protect capital as well as workers against the threat of unemployment was announced tonight by Gerald Swope, president of the General Electric company.

1—Organization* of U.S. industries through formation of trade associations, to stabilize and coordinate production, putting all corporations on a banis of parity for domesUc business. The associations would control production.
2—More	uniform and continuous employment, removing from the worker’s mind the fear which has been built up by "the 40-year deadline" which might throw him out of work in advanced years. It would provide for unemployment insurance lo which both workers and employers would contribute ae "a safety reservoir” and also for old age pensions.

Action censuring the attitude nt the University Book Store, ait»j ated across University aveno# from the Administration building I In the ground desired by the nnV I versity for ths memorial camptw, I was taken at a special meeting of the A.S.U.S.C. legislative oon Tied yesterday afternoon.
The action followed the dletr* butfon by the bookstore tiirotijh the faculty mailboxes In the Adi ministration, of au advertising notebook division leaf oontainlng (his statement which the oowkaff considered misleading^
"Making way for Mia new K brary, we have secured oer NEW HOME at 3536 University avenue. We expect to remodel this bulldr ing at the north-east corner ol University avenue and 35th plaea' in an architectural etyls that will harmonize with the university; campus buildings aud make 4 home for our store and printing ■hop, of which all Trojans me? be proud."
HIT STATEMENT
The action ronalsled la an. thorlzlng a statement by President Francis Bushard, printed In the adjacent columns. The council took exception to the bookstore man, agement's statement as giving an erroneous Impression that the bookstore had concluded arrange, ments for the sale of Its present property. This arrangement haa not been made, aince the price asked by Jesse Ray Miller, owner of the property, ls $59,000, or $14,000 In excess of the amount which the university has consld* ered the most liberal offer M would be willing to make.
As mstters now stand, the couiv cl I pointed out, there is no ar* rangement nor any immediate pos,
»l bi li ty of an arrangement, for the removal of Ihe building after] the completion of the new H-braroy. Hence the council maintained lhat the bookstore 1a not "making way for the new library.”
PASS RESOLUTION Specifically the action of tha council was to pass the following resolution;
"Be It resolved: that the legii-lative council go on record as authorizing the president of the Associated Students of the University of Southern California to write a statement' for the Daily Trojan expressing the feeling of the council regarding the distribution of unfair literature which yt» (ally affects the Associated Students' Store and the entire university.”
The council had already heard the statement of Bushard.
The action yesterday followed two years of negotiations between university officials and the book> store owner.
BOOKSTORE’S STAND Miller said yesterday thai hi* price of $59,000 is based on the price of $45,456 which he paid for his new location at University avenue and 35th place plus $14,004 which he says it will cost to remodel the building for occupaUoa by his business. An appraisal of $61,800, he said, was made to him on this basis of removal cost by George L. Schuiuie, an expert itt condemnation procedure and appraisal.
The university, on the other hand, has had the property appraised by experts from the viewpoint of Its property value, the highest estimate being in round numbers $40,000. While uo offer lias been made directly on account of Miller's insistence on hi* price, university officials have unofficially committed themselves to pa/ $45,000.
