Utah Sends Champions For Debate In competition with University of Utah debaters, two members of the S.C. squad, Robert Feder and Jack McCreary, wUl talk this morning at j 9 o’clock ln 120 Old College. The Utah debaters, champions of: the Rocky Mountain area for six years, are now on a tour of the Southwest, where they will meet with debaters of six leading universities. John Adair and Mike Masaoka have been chosen to represent Utah in the encounter. A question which has received \ wide pubUcity throughout the Unit- 1 ed States, and is now being used by schools and college all over the country, will be used by the two teams. The subject is, Resolved: j that congress shall have the power to over-ride decisions of the su- ( preme court respecting constitu- ; tionallty of legislation. Feder is a leading S.C. debater, I and was at one time winner of the Southern California junior col- j lege debate championship. McCreary is a well known debater i from Glendale junior college. The Utah debaters have had wide experience in debating. Adair has j won many contests in the Rocky Moountain area and was a member of the Utah-Idaho championship debate team. Masaoka is an orator as well as: debater, having won the oratorical championship at the Denver invitational tournament. _ . . . . . .. .

Court Order Hits New Deal Budget WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—(lT.E) — Congress today received a 1937 budget message from President Roosevelt that was thrown off balance by the supreme court’s decision killing the AAA even before the clerks finished reading it . Mr. Roosevelt estimated receipts at $5,654,000,000 including $547,000.-000 in processing taxes. He said that with this sum he could run the government and have $5,000,000 left over, but he forecast a deficit, because of relief requirements, of from one to three bUllon dollars. The president failed to make any request for relief money, asserting that he could gauge needs more accurately later. He promised however, that he would ask “far less” for relief than the $4,000,000,000 voted last year, and that the 1937 deficit would be smaller than the $4,234,000,000 estimated for 1936. Not only did the loss of $547,000,-000 of anticipated revenue throw the budget further off balance by that amount, but the court decision also voided the president’s announcement that he planned to make the AAA a permanent agency of government. San Francisco banks participating in the purchase of the warrants included American Trust, Bank of America, Bank of California, Anglo-American National, Crocker National and Wells Fargo bank and Union Trust company. “In a last minute effort to maintain the state of California on a cash basis, a group of Los Angeles and San Francisco banks have agreed to take the state’s offering of relief warrants In the amount of $1,900,000,” a spokesman for the banks said. In announcing the purchase, officials of the banks said they desired to cooperate in meeting a critical situation in the state’s finances but could not continue to do so in the absence of assurance of future revenues in sight from which the warrants can be paid. Roosevelt Hit By Italy Press Chief Executive Charged With ‘Subversion* of U. S. Democracy ROME. Jan. 6—<UJ?) — The government-controlled Italian press today launched a bitter attack on President Roosevelt, charging the American chief executive with “subverting democracy as he pleased” in the United States and with Interfering with the domestic affairs of Italy, Germany and Japan in his message to congress Friday night. The government ordered a two-day campaign condemning the president’s speech criticising dictatorships and warlike nations. The broadside was begun today by Vlr-ginio Gayda, editor of the Giornale D’ltalia and regarded as unofficial press spokesman for Premier Benito j Mussolini, in a three-column page one editorial. Attacks on England and British foreign policy by the inspired Italian press, it was recalled, were the excuse given by Britain for sending battleships to the Mediterranean. The hostUe campaign of the Italian press against England has been blamed for friction between the two nations, leading to open discussion of a possible Italo-Brit-ish war. Gayda said Mr .Roosevelt's speech was “primarily electoral” and “set the precedent for European interference In American affairs.” “President Roosevelt’s idea of democracy can be challenged.” Gayda wrote. “He subverted democracy as he pleased, with thousands of arbitrary industrial codes. He has governed with discretionary powers, but then failed to demolish the misdoings of gangsters, which compelled a national hero, Lindbergh, to find voluntary ?xile beyond the ocean in order to save his child.” Phi Beta Kappa To Initiate 27 Thursday Night Largest Number in History Of Trojan Chapter To Become Members Dr. Cooke To Read Paper Scholarship Fraternity Is Oldest in This Country; Banquet Planned .

Nothing greeted my entrance into the Wampus office early Saturday morning, that is nothing except the rustle of papers and Editor “Oggie” Nash. The editor didn’t exactly greet me either. He just sat on a stack ot magazines, one foot sticking in a waste-paper basket, the other foot hidden from
♦sight beneath a huge pile of magazines, and grunted. I wasn’t exactly sure if the grunt was intended for a greeting or if it was uttered in protest of a fly resting on the tip of his nose.

Court Order Hits New Deal Budget
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—(lT.E) — Congress today received a 1937 budget message from President Roosevelt that was thrown off balance by the supreme court’s decision killing the AAA even before the clerks finished reading it .
Mr. Roosevelt estimated receipts at $5,654,000,000 including $547,000.-000 in processing taxes. He said that with this sum he could run the government and have $5,000,000 left over, but he forecast a deficit, because of relief requirements, of from one to three bUllon dollars.
The president failed to make any request for relief money, asserting that he could gauge needs more accurately later. He promised however, that he would ask “far less” for relief than the $4,000,000,000 voted last year, and that the 1937 deficit would be smaller than the $4,234,000,000 estimated for 1936.
Not only did the loss of $547,000,-000 of anticipated revenue throw the budget further off balance by that amount, but the court decision also voided the president’s announcement that he planned to make the AAA a permanent agency of government.
San Francisco banks participating in the purchase of the warrants included American Trust, Bank of America, Bank of California, Anglo-American National, Crocker National and Wells Fargo bank and Union Trust company.
“In a last minute effort to maintain the state of California on a cash basis, a group of Los Angeles and San Francisco banks have agreed to take the state’s offering of relief warrants In the amount of $1,900,000,” a spokesman for the banks said.
In announcing the purchase, officials of the banks said they desired to cooperate in meeting a critical situation in the state’s finances but could not continue to do so in the absence of assurance of future revenues in sight from which the warrants can be paid.
