The purpose of the endowment is to educate the public throughout the world on the underlying principles of international conduct. Ruth Frankel, prominent in the S.C. International Relations club, will take an active part in the business of the fifth Pacific conference. Miss Frankel was elected to the position of corresponding secretary of the conference last year when the clubs gathered at Santa Barbara for their yearly meeting. Film ‘Villain’ Dies From Polo Injury By United Press. Gordon Westcott, who left a Utah ranch to become filmland’s most polished cinema “villain,” died last night at Cedars of Lebanon hospital. His skull had been crushed at the base when he fell off a polo pony Sunday afternoon, and he did not regain consicousness. Death was due to a cerebral hemorrhage, which physicians were unable to check. The actor, who had been “killed” numerous times in scenario sequences, was 31. A graduate of Trinity college, Dublin, Ireland, he entered stock company drama 10 years ago and swiftly developed into one of the most perfectly equipped “menaces” on the stage. His rise in films was as swift. After playing with Taylor Holmes, on Broadway, in “The Great Neck-er,” he was discovered by Jack Warner, brought to Hollywood and starred in an aviation picture, “Ceiling Zero.” He was a trained flier, and his movie “deaths” usually, were accomplished in mid-air.

The conference will follow tomorrow's scheduled meeting of the league sanctions committee of 52 to begin enforcement of trade penalties against Italy. Trade With Belligerents Absolutely Taboo’ Says Executive Secretary Airs War Views President Warns Against Business’ Violation Of Neutrality WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 — O) — President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull today enlarged the government’s neutrality policy to insure that nothing is done that would lengthen the Italo-Ethiopian war, and issued a veiled warning that stronger action will be taken against those who persist in trading with the belligerents. Shortly after his ranking cabinet member had issued a strongly word- I ed statement of neutrality, Mr. | Roosevelt handed correspondents the text of his views on the subject. Two Objectives Stated The president backed up Hull in his declaration that the government has two objectives: To keep out of war. To do nothing which would aid in protracting the war. In addition, the president revealed that the government is “keeping informed as to all shipments consigned for export to both belligerents.’ ’ Mr. Roosevelt said: “In dealing with the conflict between Ethiopia and Italy, I have carried into effect the will and intent of the neutrality resolution enacted by congress. We have prohibited all shipments of arms, ammunition, and implements of war to the belligerent governments. We have warned American citizens against transactions of any character with either of the belligerent nations except at their own risk. President Takes Stand "This government is determined not to become involved in the controversy and is anxious for the restoration and maintenance of peace. “However, in the course of war, tempting trade opportunities may be offered to our people to supoly materials which would prolong the war. I do not believe that the American people will wish for abnormally increased profits that temporarily might be secured by greatly extending our trade in such materials; nor would they wish the struggles on the battlefield to be prolonged because of profits accruing to a comparatively small number of American citizens. “Accordingly, the American government is keeping Informed as to all shipments consigned for export to both belligerents.” Government Will Check Mr. Roosevelt said the government also would keep a check on oil, wheat, and other products generally considered as war necessities, which are exported from the United States to other countries for transshipment to either of the belligerent powers. Illustrating his remarks on the attitude he feels American exporters should take in regard to trade with the belligerent powers, Mr. Roosevelt told correspondents of a luncheon he had with the executive of a large New England shoe company before hostilities began. The official, he said, expURhed that his firm had an order from Italy for a large shioment of heavy shoes, which could be wom by soldiers. S.C. Amateurs To Be Presented at Engineers’ Dance Social Event To Be Presented Tomorrow Presidsnt of the College of Engineering, holding its annual all-U dance tomorrow night, is Willis Stanley. El Rodeo Bans Gratis Panels ‘No Cash, No Pictures’ Is Fisher’s Ultimatum To Organizations "There will be no complimentary picture panels in the 1936 El Rodeo,” was the ultimatum delivered to all campus organizations yesterday by Bill Fisher, business manager of the yearbook. "Every S.C. organization will be treated alike,” Fisher emphasized. “Groups which in the past have been given complimentary panels no longer will be favored in this way.” According to the policy established by the board of student publications, every campus group desiring a panel in the annual must sign a contract with the A.S.U.S.C., promising to pay half of its bill before November 15, 1935. and the second payment before February 15, 1936. Fisher asked that presidents or treasurer of fraternities and other organizations sign the contract in his office, 217 Student Union, immediately. If the specifications of the contract are not met, Fisher warned, the grouo’s picture will be omitted from El Rodeo. The business manager will be in his office every day at assembly period and from 1:30 to 3 pm. in the afternoon. Merrian Proclaims SACRAMENTO, Oct. 30 —(IIP)— Governor Frank F.

Bruin Bonfire Burns Bright * * * * * * * * * * * * California Cohorts Called Culprits * * * * * * * + * + ** Worried Westwooders Wax Weary WESTWOOD, Oct. 30 — (Exclusive) — “Crush the Golden Bears,” was the cry that swept over the Westwood campus tonight as the bonfire planned for the rally before the U.C.L.A.-Califomia football game this Saturday, was ignited by two unknown maurauders. The fire that was to be used to raise the gridiron spirit of the Westwood student body was originally planned to bs set off Friday night in tribute of the men who would take the field the next day against the ‘brother” Bears from up north. About six o’clock last night, before the guards were posted to ward off any attack from rival schools, two men, suspected of being Cal rooters down here for the game, arrived on the scene of the work and proceeded to touch off the wood that was piled around the grounds. Nearly half of the boxes and wood gathered by Bruin supporters was se*. off in a pre-rally bonfire. To- morrow the entire student body will be called together in an assembly organizing work to replace the damage done tonight. The fire was discovered by some of the football managers as they returned to the gym after supervising the workouts of the undefeated Bruin football team. They were joined by other students who saw the flames, and after a fight of about a half an hour the blaze was extinguished. The two attackers had used cloths dipped in gasoline as a means of setting the wood afire. The telephone poles used as uprights for the pile were standing about 200 yards from the piles of boxes but remained untouched. Tomorrow morning guards will be chosen from members of Blue C and Circle C, honorary service organizations and will be posted around the bonfire to ward off any new attacVi^hat may be planned. Women Debaters To Meet Saturday In order to give members of the women’s debate team practice in the actual procedure of debating on the platform, an assembly of the group has been called for 10 am. Saturday morning in 125 Old College, Carmen Fraide, women’s debate manager announced Wednesday. The subject to be used at this time is to be “Resolved, that congress should be permitted to override by a two thirds majority, decisions of the supreme court declaring a congressional act unconstitutional.” During this meeting also, definite plans will be discussed for the furnishing of the debate office, Miss Fraide said. The coeds now trying out for debate include: Patricia Sepulveda, Carol Diller, Nancy Holme, Virginia Hudson, Ruth Frankel, Mary Todd, Brooks von Faulkenstien Betty Eberhard, Joyce Rippe, Margaret Snyder, and Mary Kay Kir-cher. s, “Mel Ruick’s orchestra, good as it is, isn’t enough. The S.C. amateur night contestants are coming, too,” was the announcement made last night by committee heads for the College of Engineering all-university dance. Several of the participants in Troys first amateur program have promised to appear at the California Country club tomorrow night to present a preview performance of their talents when Trojans, engineers, and all, gather to celebrate at the highlight of social functions for the week. Requests To Be Played Ruick and his orchestra, scheduled to furnish ths music, have specified their intention of playing any and all request numbers regardless of age, quality, or popularity. Formerly a master of ceremonies with Fanchon and Marco, Ruick has gained considerable experience in motion picture musical work and has made numerous recordings. “I would like to make it clear.” said Willis Stanley, president of the engineering student body, “that this is an all-university function, and not a closed affair for engineers alone. Those who have expressed curiosity as to what type of clothing an engineer years when not sporting dirty cords and leather Jackets should seize this opportunity. Boy, are we going to dress up!’* Bids Now on Sale The California Country club, where the dance is to be staged, ls located near Culver City, just off National boulevard.
