‘T.N.E. was in existence at S.C. when I was football captain here in 1895,” Martin related. “Many undergraduates have entered into the organization for the pure love of adventure. But any man, after discovering the real meaning of the organisation, who can break away and ‘face the music.’ should be held in much higher esteem than he who remains an active member.” Affidavit* Read Russ Nixon, campaign manager for Parker, read the affidavit signed by himself, Francis McGinley, president of the Sigma Chi house: and Otto Bolin, president ot the Sigma Nu house, telling of Eames Bishop’s statement ln the final gathering of T.NE.

*Gil Kuhn Was Not Duped’
Presidential Aspirant Hits Statements Refuting His Sincerity
By Russ Nixon
Parker Campaign Manager
Editor’s Notet The Daily Trojan here presents the formal reply to the editorial. "The Night of April 11,’* which appeared Monday. The following: is in the exact wording of the writer and has not been changed or deleted ln any way.
The T.NE. editor of the Daily Trojan is to be complimented on his ability to stretch four fundamental allegations against Dick Parker into a full editorial column. These allegations can be summarized as follows:
1.	That Gil Kuhn has been “hopelessly duped.”
2.	That Dick Parker withdrew for the selfish reason that he was not given T.N.E. support, and that he owes his present position on campus only through previous backing by T.N.E.
3.	That Dick Parker violated his oath and his word to T.NE.
4.	That T.N.E. is not really the pernicious influence it is pictured,

“This is to certify that everything that Ross Nixon has stated in this article is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing bat the truth.”
The following statement was prepared by Mr. Parker himself:
"To whom tt may concern:

but on the whole is a benevolent organization.
Thanks Frankish
We thank Mr. Frankish for the opportunity of answering these charges.
1.	OU Kuhn, whose sincerity Is admitted by Mr. Frankish, after reading Monday’s editorial, declared that he was fully aware of all the circumstances of Dick Parker's withdrawal from Theta Nu Epsilon. Gil Kuhn emphatically denies that he has been “hopelessly duped,” and is now actively campaigning in Parker’s behalf.
2.	In answer to this charge we merely state the facts of Dick Parker’s withdrawal.
Two weeks before the night of April 11, Dick Parker declared to a prominent alumni member of Theta Nu Epsilon that he was disgusted with the purpose and methods of the organization; that he was contemplating withdrawal. We emphasize that this was two weeks before Parker had any intimation as to

WASHINGTON. May 7 —  — The senate late today scrapped the Harrison compromise bonus bill, chose the Patman inflationary bonus bill in preference to the Vinson measure, and then formally passed the Patman bill calling for payment of the $2,250,000,000 debt to veterans ln printing press money.
The Patman bill was passed by the house 318 to 90. It now goes to President Roosevelt, who threatened to veto it.
Motion Entered
The bill will not be sent to the White House for possibly two days. A motion to reconsider the vote was entered by Sen. Bennett C. Clark, D., Mo., who has two days to call up the motion for action.
Administration leaders believe the senate will uphold Mr. Roosevelt’s veto.
The Patman bill was passed after the senate:
Rejected the compromise plan of Sen. Pat Harrison, D.. Miss.. 54 to 30 — a plan Harrison said the president would sign.
Chose the Patman bill in preference to the Vinson bill, backed by the American Legion, by a vote of 52 to 35.
The formal vote passing the Patman bill was 55 to 33.
Bill Calls for Bonds
The Vinson bill called for issuance of bonds fcr immediate payment in full of the bonus. The Harrison measure would have paid the soldiers in cash or in negotiable bonds or would have given a premium to those who held their certificates until 1945 — the original date of materity.
Defeat of the Harrison measure was no surprise, despite warnings that President Roosevelt would veto any other bonus bill.
The Vinson bill lost by only three votes in the house which adopted overwhelmingly the measure by Rep. Wright Patman, D., Tex.

Radio Class To Present Drama
“Sale of the so-called “Trojan I Thrift Books” on the campus does not have the endorsement of the i I.C.4-A track team student commit -! tee as a student oody enterprise,”
| it was announced last night by Ar-j nold Eddy, general manager, in the ; absence of Bob Haugh, general I chairman.
“In the event of Bob Haugh’s I absence,” explained Roy James, who | is managing the fund. “I have been j unable to get the legislative coun-1 cil’s sanction for the trackmen to sell the books themselves. With that j consent, a 25 per cent sales commission on each book sold would be added to the 10 per cent. This means that the trackmen need sell only 1000 books to swell the fund by $325. This, and more, should be ! easy to do because of the worth of the book in its own right.”
"T. Tembaron.’’ by Frances Hod-son Bomett, is to be presented by the radio speech class over KNX at 5 o’clock this afternoon.
Special permission to have the use of this book has been secured from Mrs. Bomett’s son, Vivian Bomett of New York city. It is a story of a young American who suddenly finds himself heir to a large estate in England and it deals with his amusing efforts to adjust himself to the English customs.
The narrator for the dramatization will be J. Marvin Davis. Robert Norton wiU have the title role, and Gretchen Marsdon will take the part of Little Ann. Others in the cast are: Robert Eddy, J. B. Grad-shaw, Melvin Shubert, Rendefl Terrell. Wallace Cole, Alfred Fitch, Violet WMMt, sad Herman Am-
Members of the track team last night registered vigorous opposition to the thrift book enterprise because of the small percentage to be returned to the track fund.
Pete Cavaney, Trojan Knight president, states that the student drive now underway among the organizations on the campus is also open to the non-organization students and that any contribution should be turned in at the general manager’s office immediately.
Meanwhile contributions received yesterday from-vcampus organizations and private individuals sent the fund soaring over the $300 mark.
Contributions consisted of $14 from Alpha Chi Omega, $11 from Alpha Gamma Delta. $50 from the Trojaneers, and $25 from R L. Fielding.
The Compinsky trio will make its ! filial appearance of this season to- ; morrow evening in Bovard auditor- j ium. Because of pressing engagements the organization will not be able to present the program previously announced for May 23.
Manuel Compinsky, violinist, is to be the soloist of the program tomorrow. He will be heard in three compositions, •‘Serenade MelancoU-que” by Tchaikowski; “Song of the Nightingale” by Sarasate; and "Five Impressions” by Willy Stahl.
A new composition by Milly Stahl,
‘ Three Trees.” is to be given its first performance by the Compinsky group on this occasion. The number h:ts been dedicated to them.
Selections by Brahms and Smetana will complete the program.
Enrollment in the class devotetf to ensemble playing, under the direction of Manuel Compinsky, has : increased since the trio’s first con- j cert series earlier in the season, ac- ! cording to the School of Music, of 1 which the Compinskys are now fac- j ultv members.
