S.C. Law Group Will Hear Carr
Giving his opinion on how a newspaperman looks at court news. Harry Carr, prominent journalist and news commentator, will address alumni members of Phi Alpha Delta, honorary legal fraternity, Thursday, March 21, at 6:30 p.m., in the Chinese room of the Los Angeles Athletic club. Reservations for the speech and dinner may be made with A. A. McDowell, secretary, at $1.00 a plate.
Judge Walter Edmonds, alumni president, has arranged to have Carr speak in order to give the law students some idea of the important part that the court reporter plays in his control of public opinion through the medium of the newspaper.
Carr will discuss such colorful parts of the court room scene as the sob sister’ ’the “self-glorified" judge and lawyer.

Elmer Rice’s rapid fire comedy dialogue is placed in the mouths of Nonette Dodge and Charlie Carroll the “romantic" leads of the play. Nanette, more foolish than wise, is persuaded that her duty lies in marrying Prince Ivan Ivanovitch Kosoff in order to save her sister from the drastic result of letters which the latter has written to the Prince in younger days. What a result when Carroll (Walter Prill) runs into the newlyweds (Nadine Adams and Maurice Luis) who are on their hectic wedding trip!
Well! WeU!
And if all this isn’t enough, there are offered for the amusement of the audience Kunegunde Wandl (Frances Fintel) the vamp and feminine menace, nurse to General Jan Skulaney (William Poulson), Hugo von Klaus Robert Norton), general all-round “stooge” for the prince, and Lucy Evans (Dorothy Martin) the middle-aged mid-western tourist who is in Italy to “do” it with a vengeance.

Hopkins, with approval of President Roosevelt, has taken over control of federal relief expenditures in Ohio.
The famous tree surgeon, elected at the last election, spoke in part as follows:
“Last year I arrived at the age of 50. I have spent all of my life trying to build a reputation for honor and integrity.
Harry’s Come “Now comes Harry L. Hopkins, a high official of the federal government, and seeks by implication and innuendo, to cast the greatest reflection upon my personal integrity.
“The highest privilege of an American citizen is to rise in defense of his good name. This, I do tonight. And I do it with a feeling of deep indignation.
“For this .purpose, I went to Newark, early this morning and swore out a warrant for Mr. Hopkins’ arrest on a charge of criminal libel. The warrant has been issued. I am ready and eager for trial.”
Not Interested **May I respectfully call your attention to the fact that I have been insisting that Mr Hopkins take public control of the Ohio relief situation. inasmuch as he has been exercising dictatorial control behind the scenes “Mr Hopkins has been hiding behind the scenes, and running the whole program through his federal agents in Columbus.”

Clean, Purified Wampus, Dirt and Ribaldry Banned, To Go on Sale Tomorrow
By Mrs. J. Claude Manderbaugh
Culminating weeks of work and strictest censoring, the Purity number of the Wampus will be out tomorrow. Questioned on his source of clean humor in this age of ribaldry, editor Bill Roberts merely smiled and stated that he was sure that this number would be thoroughly acceptable to the
campus.	♦-
“Look at this—and this—and
this,” he cried, paging through the dummy.
“The Evils of the Dance” are to be developed in full, and “Scene at a Purity League Meeting” is revealed to the heathen public. As Mr. Roberts turned page after page, he elicited gasps of wonder at the enormity of his undertaking.
Remember Mama. Huh?
"Write Home to Mother" makes its pathetic appeal with illustrations and practical suggestions for the erring boy or girl away from home. This, together with a serious message from the YM.C.A. president, is the most touching of all Mr. Roberts’ appeals.
In a less serious vein is “Athletes That Bloom in the Spring,” by one of our leading sports writers, and the confession and reform of Bob Russell. A surprise in the form of The Wampus’ choice of beauty spots will intrigue the more subtle senses of humor.
Lookie, Lookie. Looide!
Mr. Roberts paged through his creation musingly and said, “You know, the past numbers of the Wampus have been somewhat extreme in their denunciation and criticisms of various campus celebrities. We feel that we have been too severe and this month w'e wish to repair all damaged looks, reputations, and make amends for all slurs cast upon anyone or anything. We may not be able to accomplish what we have set out to do—that is, not all at once. But we will do our best,” he cried, on a ringing note. “This is our first attempt," he said proudly, turning to a page of pictures. “Two pages of pictures and articles concerning prominent juniors. “How do you like them?” he queried.
“Mr. Roberts.” spoke up one of the members of the investigating committee, “that is a friend of mine!”
See the Purity number tomorrow!

Sheriffs Rushed To Patrol Lettuce Fields in Arizona
PHOENIX, March 18. — <U_E» — Armed deputy sheriffs carrying rifles, revolvers, and gas guns ^ere rushed to the lettuce fields of the Salt River vaUey near here this afternoon when reports Were circulated that agitators had entered the ranks of the packers and field workers preparing to call a strike.
After patroling the district for a few hours, in strict secrecy, the deputies returned as shippers and produce men denied they had heard any reports of trouble brewing. The agitators were said to be members of a group of lettuce workers that caused a strike and rebellion among workers in the Imperial valley a few weeks ago wlien two men were killed in a demonstration.
Feeling which has been running high here for the past few months, between American and alleged alien Japanese farmers, was a contrib-
uting factor for Sheriff John R. McFadden mustering a group of special deputies, who were rushed to the fields. The Japanese, how ever, were not believed to be mixed in the labor dispute.
Ely Follett, secretary of the Arizona division. Vegetable Packers’ association, flatly denied that his organization or any affiliated group had sanctioned a strike, issued a call for a strike, or anticipated such a move and that no strike vote had been taken.
Armed patrols were sent to the vicinity of Tolleson, Cowden. and Fowler, the districts where differences between Japanese and American farmers has centered. It was in these three districts that more than 10 bombs were tossed into the yards of Japanese farmers the latter part of 1934 in a “warning'' that they must leave the valley.

Bv United Press.
Maxine Albro, famous murahst who has been in frequent artistic controversies over her paintings, last night became embroiled in an art argument with the women of the swanky Ebell club, the most expensive women’s club building in the world.
The clubwomen voted 385 to 223 to black out the famous murals of Sibilhne women, which Miss Alhro painted on the walls of the club lobby.
The objections were that the murals are not works of art, they are disproportionate in size; the subject matter is classic, and the paintings are primitive, and they are too vivid in color, destroying the simplicity of the other ornamentation.
The objectionlsts were headed by Mrs. William Read and Mrs. Grant-land C. Long.
Miss Albro’s painting are portrayals of the Cumaean Sibyls, done much In the manner of Diego Riviera’s mural work.
Miss Albro, who has a reputation for speaking her mind freeJy when the artistic merits of her work Ir attacked, is not in Los Angeles.
The clubwomen denied there was any question of morals Involved in the murals.
“They are not vulgar," one woman said. “They simply are not art."
