Five reports, covering the report periods from December 20 to January 19, are to be filled out carefully, approved by the project director, and filed before 11 o’clock in the Administration building at the information office. “Students who have not worked during one or more of the report periods should nevertheless submit such a statement, indicating that no hours were worked during each such period,” Dr. Touton said. Dr. Touton makes a final request that all reports be filed on time, as promptness in filing reports will aid in the earlier completion of pay rolls and result in an earlier receipt of checks by NYA students.

R.”—whose social and political reforms he pointed to as a “spirit of vital activity.” Th? chief executive in dedicating the Theodore Roosevent Memorial building on the grounds of the American Museum of Natural History, fulfilled the primary objective of a trip that took him yesterday from a white house desk piled high with work. Standing on a platform in the lofty hall ol the memorial, on the walls of which were murals symbolizing the adventurous life of the late president, Mr. Roosevelt observed: “We will remember how those whom he denounced with righteous wrath winced under the stigma of such flashing epithets as malefactors of great wealth,’ ‘the wealthy criminal class,’ and the ‘lunatic fringe.’ “He had a gift for the pungent phrase and boiled down his whole political philosophy into such a homely and popular maxim as ‘speak softly but carry a big stick’.” On the platform as Mr. Rcosevelt spoke Were any number of Roosevelts. Alice Roosevelt Longworth was present with her brother, young “Teddy.” Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the president, and a niece of T. R., also was on hand, as well as James, son of the president. The president’s entire speech was a eulogy of his distant kinsman. Recalling the vigorous reform movements of the latter, he remarked: “With clearness of vision, of energy of unfaltering faith, he labored through his entire strenuous career to transform politics from a corrupt traffic to a public service. “With a very passion for justice and equality before the law he sought with voice and pen, with every resource at his command to obtain for men everywhere their constitutional guarantees of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, unlike the president, made a ringing political speech when his turn came to speak. Citing the political liberalism of T. R., he recalled recent sweeping supreme court decisions as he declared: “He would not permit the senate to become a court of justice; he would not permit the court to transform itself into a legislative body. He knew what was judicial and he knew what was legislative.” Speakers’ Bureau Begins Operations Student Orator Addresses Belvedere Church on Important Issue ing an inner and outer wall of ectlon against drafts, lt was :ed.

Initiating a policy by which student orators will be supplied for platform debates for various southern California organizations, the I newly-formed S. C. speakers bureau opened activity last night when Louis Tarleton, student speaker, addressed members of the Belvedere church on “Is Communism or Fascism the Chief Threat to American Democracy.” Heretofore, the deputations committee of the Trojan “Y” has handled weekly requests from organizations and churches for student speakers to give student opinions on important issues of the day, but through cooperative action of the Y. M. C. A. and the debate office, the S. C. speaker’s bureau will handle all requests hereafter. The entire debate squad is a part of personnel of the bureau and will, ta conjunction with “Y” members, continue the work formerly carried on by the Y. M. C. A. deputations committee. “The speakers bureau will facilitate the work of obtaining speakers for whom we have weekly requests,” stated Glen Baker, president of the “Y”. “It shall also act as a coordin- ! ating unit between the debate squad and the “Y”. In he past we have successfully supplied student speakers to many organizations in the southland, and under this new plan, we hope to handle many more requests.” Religious Forum To Hear Lambert, U.C.L.A.

P. Morgan and Partners Cancel Appointments For Future Plans Results Depend on Senate Chairman Nye Flays Critics Who Conceal Virtues Of Investigation WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—(ILB)— Embroiled in a fierce struggle with angry Democrats over charges that blackened the memory of Woodrow Wilson, the senate munitions committee* suspended temporarily ita two-year inquiry into the arms industry. Word was sent to J. Pierpont Morgan, international banker, and two of his partners, George Whitney and Thomas W. Lamont, canceling their scheduled reappearance before the committee Thursday. Chairman Gerald P. Nye, Republican, North Dakota, said his group would meet Wednesday to make future plans. Senate Holds Fate The fate of the much-heralded inquiry lies with the senate. The committee still holds less than $400 of the $125,000 given it by the senate and thousands of dollars ta salaries and miscellaneous expenses remain unpaid. Meanwhile, Democrats, Infuriated by Nye’s charge that Wilson “falsified” before the senate foreign relations committee in 1919. are determined not to award the committee another penny. Attacks Smoke Screen In a formal statement Nye hit back at critics of the investigation, charging them with attempting to build up a “smoke screen” to cover a general attack on the constructive work and remedial legislative proposals of the committee. Nye asserted the committee had offered constructive proposals ta two bills, one to take excess profits cut of naval shipbuilding and one to prevent collusion on warship contracts, which have been pending before the senate naval affairs committee since last summer. “Do you expect to get lt?” he was asked. “I don’t know,” Nye replied. “There seems to be some sentiment against it.” • If additional funds are denied the committee, one official said at least two courses he open to it to get its information before the public. 1. Make the documents available to newspapermen. 2. Have them read on the senate floor and thus make them a pare of the Congressional Record. dtuuy Ui ttgiituiiuic auu iuccuamv ^ | # r— arts will be given the opportunity rellOWShipS 10 Be Offered to S.C.

While he directed the choir in his own tune, which he did at their request, his hands were particularly noticeable. They are not the traaitlonally slender, long-fingered hands of a world-renowned musician, but rather the square sturdy, well-shaped hands of a farmer. But these hands are unbelieveably agile and deft, when he plays at the piano as he did after the “Irish Tune’’ was rehearsed to his satisfaction, in what proved to be more intense and arduous “workout” than even those of Director Smallman. Wnile the choir sang Bach under the direction of Strang, Grainger retired to the adjoining hall where he paced nervously up and down while he listened. To their delight he pronounced their somewhat nervous renditions “very good” in a manner so genuinely sincere that the 50 choristers beamed happily. Seeming, ta his reserved way, to to enjoy his stay, Grainger waspre-vailed upon to play for the group.

Prof. Roy L. French will tour Germany nsxt summer, visiting the major newspaper plants, and studying journalism in relation to the affairs of the country. Trengove Plans Novel Motif as Season Closes Grant Awarded S.C. Professor “County Gardens.’’ one of his famous Morris tunes. Nearly all of these tunes, he explained are instrumental arrangements of well-known vocal numbers, “County Gardens” being based on the melody of the “Vicar of Bray.” Other selections to thrill his audience included: “In Dead of Night,” a German folk song by Brahms and “A Minor Prelude” by Bach arranged by Lizst. Paying high tribute to John Smallman. director of the A Cappella choir, Grainger explained that his great talent as a choral director lay in his ability to secure not only oeauty of sound, but to combine with that “the greatest orgtaallty” and get enough variety of vocal sound to constitute beautiful tone color. “I consider Smallman in a class entirely by himself. He Is the greatest choral director in the world,” Grainger said. Finally, pleading that he was extremely busy arranging programs, Grainger was permitted to depart without his tea. incidentally, leaving behind an admiring throng of S. C. students who will trag doubtless to their children and grandchildren that “I sang for Percy Grainger* or that “I heard Grainger in a private recital.” Study of Journalism and German Affairs To Be Made by French To make an extensive study of journalism ta its relationship to the political and international affairs of Germany, Roy L. French, director of the University of Southern California School of Journalism, has been awarded a grant by the Gustav Oberlaender trust. Wilbur K. Thomas, secretary of the foundation, announced Friday. The fund which has been set aside will enable Professor French to travel in Germany next summer, visiting the principal cities of the country, and interviewing the publishers of the major newspapers of each. A provision has also been made for Mrs. French, a teacher of Germanic languages, to accompany him as an associate in the undertaking. "Improve Relations” To obtain approval of the project from the Goebbels’ ministry which maintains strict control over the newspaper industry in Germany, Professor French plans to work through the German and American embassies of the respective countries. The complete disinterestedness and impartiality of the survey was stressed in 'he original application to the members of the foundation board whose aim is “to develop cultural relations between the United States and German speaking countries.” “The tour ls to obtain some information about newspapers ta Germany, material neither upholding nor condemning a political system.” This objective. Professor French oays, he will emphasize. If the necessary permission is received, the Frenchs will begin their tour ta Berlin, following the circle of cities from East Prussia to the south, thence westward and returning to ' Berlin the latter part of August-15 Grants Made About fifteen of these grants are made each year. In southern California Dr. Robert Millikan of the California Institute of Technology has been the only other educator to work In Germany under the foundation. Professor French was appointed to the national council of research in journalism last month at the convention of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism in Washington, D. C. At that time he made a personal application for the grant. The convention delegates interviewed President Roosevelt regarding his press conferences and relationship with the American press. Schuman’s Orchestra Will Play; Louise Wells To Sing, Entertain In answer to reuests by many students, Draxy Trengove. A. S. U. S C. vice-president, has arranged a dig. the last of the semester, for tonight in the gymasium, before Trojan men and women settle down to boning for the fast-approaching final examinations. Something novel ta Trojan digs is planned for tonight’s informal dancing party by the change la the decoration motif from the traditional cardinal and gold to blaclc and white, resembling a morgue. Whether Caroline Everington, chief decorator, made this move as a tribute to Trojan spirit or rather to typify students’ frames of mind prior to launching themselves into the ordeal of finals, was not ascertained. Latest dance tunes will be played by a campus orchestra under the direction of Walt Schuman, augmented by special entertainment, featuring Louise Wells, Alpha Chi Omega vocalist. Miss Wells’ sing- Songstresa Wells . . . warbles tonight tag is well known to Trojan students, as she has made Innumerable appearances at campus social functions, latest of which was tho Spooks and Spokes carnival. Miss Trengove and her assistants have appealed to fraternity and sorority officials to release their many disciples so (hat a large crowd will be on hand when the gymnasium doors open at 7:30. The affair will be over at 9:30. allowing time to prepare Tuesday’s home assignments. Admission price will remain unchanged, with men students allowed to enter at 25 cents and women admitted free. In anticipation of a large crowd. Miss Trengove made one request— that stags emulate wall-flowers in that they remain at the side of tho dance floor so that the center of th* hall may be used for dancing. A Capella Choir Will Sing Today In the seventh of the series of music appreciation concerts being presented over KNX, John Smallman will bring the A cappela choir before the microphone at 3 p.m. today The introduction will be made by Pauline Alderman, head of the music appreciation at S. C. and director in charge of today’s concert. Smallman will bring the group with him today to illustrate the subject of the program, “Choral Music, Yesterday and Today.” Selections presented by the chorus will include music taken from the early madrigals, folk songs. and present day chorals. Telegrams Cause Upheaval of Epics By United Press. Two telegrams—one misread apparently by accident — last night brought more than 600 California “Epics” tumbling from their chairs ta an uproar that forced temporary adjournment of a ‘‘peace meeting” called to q-iet a simmering left-wing uprising in Democratic party ranks. The incident forced retirement of Dr. L. Raymond Holmes of San Francisco as chairman of the convention. Subsequently the meeting, called to adopt a slate of “Epic” delegates to the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia next June, reconvened and adopted a comoromise resolution to “support an independent candidate pledged to production for use” on the first ballot at the national convention, and then swing their support to the president. Misreading of the text of a tele* gram supposedly from Upton Sinclair. titular head of the “Epic* movement, occurred during a bitter debate on a majority resolution asking unqualified endorsement of the president, and a minority report urging that state’s delegates be p!edged unconditionally to "production for use” principles. Dr. E. A. Hutchinson To Discuss Care of Eyet Dr. E. A. Hutchinson, noted writer and lecturer on the care of the eye*, and director of the Los Angeles School of Optometry, will address students of physics 112 at 11:25 to* morrow morning ln the physics lecture room, 163 Science building.

Standing on a platform in the lofty hall ol the memorial, on the walls of which were murals symbolizing the adventurous life of the late president, Mr. Roosevelt observed: “We will remember how those whom he denounced with righteous wrath winced under the stigma of such flashing epithets as malefactors of great wealth,’ ‘the wealthy criminal class,’ and the ‘lunatic fringe.’ “He had a gift for the pungent phrase and boiled down his whole political philosophy into such a homely and popular maxim as ‘speak softly but carry a big stick’.” On the platform as Mr. Rcosevelt spoke Were any number of Roosevelts. Alice Roosevelt Longworth was present with her brother, young “Teddy.” Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the president, and a niece of T. R., also was on hand, as well as James, son of the president. The president’s entire speech was a eulogy of his distant kinsman. Recalling the vigorous reform movements of the latter, he remarked: “With clearness of vision, of energy of unfaltering faith, he labored through his entire strenuous career to transform politics from a corrupt traffic to a public service. “With a very passion for justice and equality before the law he sought with voice and pen, with every resource at his command to obtain for men everywhere their constitutional guarantees of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, unlike the president, made a ringing political speech when his turn came to speak. Citing the political liberalism of T. R., he recalled recent sweeping supreme court decisions as he declared: “He would not permit the senate to become a court of justice; he would not permit the court to transform itself into a legislative body. He knew what was judicial and he knew what was legislative.” Speakers’ Bureau Begins Operations Student Orator Addresses Belvedere Church on Important Issue ing an inner and outer wall of ectlon against drafts, lt was :ed.

P. Morgan and Partners Cancel Appointments For Future Plans Results Depend on Senate Chairman Nye Flays Critics Who Conceal Virtues Of Investigation WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—(ILB)— Embroiled in a fierce struggle with angry Democrats over charges that blackened the memory of Woodrow Wilson, the senate munitions committee* suspended temporarily ita two-year inquiry into the arms industry. Word was sent to J. Pierpont Morgan, international banker, and two of his partners, George Whitney and Thomas W. Lamont, canceling their scheduled reappearance before the committee Thursday. Chairman Gerald P. Nye, Republican, North Dakota, said his group would meet Wednesday to make future plans. Senate Holds Fate The fate of the much-heralded inquiry lies with the senate. The committee still holds less than $400 of the $125,000 given it by the senate and thousands of dollars ta salaries and miscellaneous expenses remain unpaid. Meanwhile, Democrats, Infuriated by Nye’s charge that Wilson “falsified” before the senate foreign relations committee in 1919. are determined not to award the committee another penny. Attacks Smoke Screen In a formal statement Nye hit back at critics of the investigation, charging them with attempting to build up a “smoke screen” to cover a general attack on the constructive work and remedial legislative proposals of the committee. Nye asserted the committee had offered constructive proposals ta two bills, one to take excess profits cut of naval shipbuilding and one to prevent collusion on warship contracts, which have been pending before the senate naval affairs committee since last summer. “Do you expect to get lt?” he was asked. “I don’t know,” Nye replied. “There seems to be some sentiment against it.” • If additional funds are denied the committee, one official said at least two courses he open to it to get its information before the public. 1.

But these hands are unbelieveably agile and deft, when he plays at the piano as he did after the “Irish Tune’’ was rehearsed to his satisfaction, in what proved to be more intense and arduous “workout” than even those of Director Smallman. Wnile the choir sang Bach under the direction of Strang, Grainger retired to the adjoining hall where he paced nervously up and down while he listened. To their delight he pronounced their somewhat nervous renditions “very good” in a manner so genuinely sincere that the 50 choristers beamed happily.

Prof. Roy L. French will tour Germany nsxt summer, visiting the major newspaper plants, and studying journalism in relation to the affairs of the country. Trengove Plans Novel Motif as Season Closes Grant Awarded S.C. Professor “County Gardens.’’ one of his famous Morris tunes. Nearly all of these tunes, he explained are instrumental arrangements of well-known vocal numbers, “County Gardens” being based on the melody of the “Vicar of Bray.” Other selections to thrill his audience included: “In Dead of Night,” a German folk song by Brahms and “A Minor Prelude” by Bach arranged by Lizst. Paying high tribute to John Smallman. director of the A Cappella choir, Grainger explained that his great talent as a choral director lay in his ability to secure not only oeauty of sound, but to combine with that “the greatest orgtaallty” and get enough variety of vocal sound to constitute beautiful tone color. “I consider Smallman in a class entirely by himself. He Is the greatest choral director in the world,” Grainger said. Finally, pleading that he was extremely busy arranging programs, Grainger was permitted to depart without his tea. incidentally, leaving behind an admiring throng of S. C. students who will trag doubtless to their children and grandchildren that “I sang for Percy Grainger* or that “I heard Grainger in a private recital.” Study of Journalism and German Affairs To Be Made by French To make an extensive study of journalism ta its relationship to the political and international affairs of Germany, Roy L. French, director of the University of Southern California School of Journalism, has been awarded a grant by the Gustav Oberlaender trust. Wilbur K. Thomas, secretary of the foundation, announced Friday. The fund which has been set aside will enable Professor French to travel in Germany next summer, visiting the principal cities of the country, and interviewing the publishers of the major newspapers of each. A provision has also been made for Mrs. French, a teacher of Germanic languages, to accompany him as an associate in the undertaking. "Improve Relations” To obtain approval of the project from the Goebbels’ ministry which maintains strict control over the newspaper industry in Germany, Professor French plans to work through the German and American embassies of the respective countries. The complete disinterestedness and impartiality of the survey was stressed in 'he original application to the members of the foundation board whose aim is “to develop cultural relations between the United States and German speaking countries.” “The tour ls to obtain some information about newspapers ta Germany, material neither upholding nor condemning a political system.” This objective. Professor French oays, he will emphasize. If the necessary permission is received, the Frenchs will begin their tour ta Berlin, following the circle of cities from East Prussia to the south, thence westward and returning to ' Berlin the latter part of August-15 Grants Made About fifteen of these grants are made each year. In southern California Dr. Robert Millikan of the California Institute of Technology has been the only other educator to work In Germany under the foundation. Professor French was appointed to the national council of research in journalism last month at the convention of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism in Washington, D. C. At that time he made a personal application for the grant. The convention delegates interviewed President Roosevelt regarding his press conferences and relationship with the American press. Schuman’s Orchestra Will Play; Louise Wells To Sing, Entertain In answer to reuests by many students, Draxy Trengove. A. S. U. S C. vice-president, has arranged a dig. the last of the semester, for tonight in the gymasium, before Trojan men and women settle down to boning for the fast-approaching final examinations. Something novel ta Trojan digs is planned for tonight’s informal dancing party by the change la the decoration motif from the traditional cardinal and gold to blaclc and white, resembling a morgue. Whether Caroline Everington, chief decorator, made this move as a tribute to Trojan spirit or rather to typify students’ frames of mind prior to launching themselves into the ordeal of finals, was not ascertained. Latest dance tunes will be played by a campus orchestra under the direction of Walt Schuman, augmented by special entertainment, featuring Louise Wells, Alpha Chi Omega vocalist. Miss Wells’ sing- Songstresa Wells . . . warbles tonight tag is well known to Trojan students, as she has made Innumerable appearances at campus social functions, latest of which was tho Spooks and Spokes carnival. Miss Trengove and her assistants have appealed to fraternity and sorority officials to release their many disciples so (hat a large crowd will be on hand when the gymnasium doors open at 7:30. The affair will be over at 9:30. allowing time to prepare Tuesday’s home assignments. Admission price will remain unchanged, with men students allowed to enter at 25 cents and women admitted free. In anticipation of a large crowd. Miss Trengove made one request— that stags emulate wall-flowers in that they remain at the side of tho dance floor so that the center of th* hall may be used for dancing.

Smallman will bring the group with him today to illustrate the subject of the program, “Choral Music, Yesterday and Today.” Selections presented by the chorus will include music taken from the early madrigals, folk songs. and present day chorals. Telegrams Cause Upheaval of Epics By United Press. Two telegrams—one misread apparently by accident — last night brought more than 600 California “Epics” tumbling from their chairs ta an uproar that forced temporary adjournment of a ‘‘peace meeting” called to q-iet a simmering left-wing uprising in Democratic party ranks. The incident forced retirement of Dr. L. Raymond Holmes of San Francisco as chairman of the convention. Subsequently the meeting, called to adopt a slate of “Epic” delegates to the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia next June, reconvened and adopted a comoromise resolution to “support an independent candidate pledged to production for use” on the first ballot at the national convention, and then swing their support to the president. Misreading of the text of a tele* gram supposedly from Upton Sinclair. titular head of the “Epic* movement, occurred during a bitter debate on a majority resolution asking unqualified endorsement of the president, and a minority report urging that state’s delegates be p!edged unconditionally to "production for use” principles.
