Silver Metal Mined After April 24 is Affected By Late Decree
WASHINGTON. April 24.—HIE)— ^resident Roosevelt tonight boosted the government’s buying price for newly-mined domestic silver to 77.57 cents per ounce to meet the stc adilv advancing silver price in the world’s markets.
From Dec. 21, 1933. to April 10, 1935, the government had paid the equivalent of 64.64 cents per ounce for the metal. This was the r.mount returned to the miner after the government bought silver at
Its monetary value of $1.29 but subtracted 50 per cent as seigniorage.
Seigniorage Cat
On April 10 the seigniorage was rut to 45 per cent, thereby increasing the price to the producer to *71.11 cents per ounce. Tonight the i-eigniorage was further cut to 40 per cent, making the domestic purchase price the equivalent of *77.57 cents per ounce.
AU silver mined on or after Ap.11 24. 1935, is affected by the new rate set for newly-mineid silver by the U. S. treasury.
The new price for silver was set by President Roosevelt in another proclamation carrying out the London silver agreement, which provided tliat participating nations should accumulate their own domestic silver production and use it for monetary purposes.
Specnlation Wild
The announcement of the presidential proclamation followed another day of wild speculation In the world silver markets and mystery* thrown around the federal government’s silver program.
At first it was understood that the treasury would merely pay the
“world price” for domestic newly-mined silver but after a hurried 1 consultation with the treasury legal staff it was decided that another [proclamation was necessary in or-Ider that the domestic newly-mined pilver price be advanced to give domestic producers at least as much Tpr their silver as was paid by the government to foreign shippers Since the newly-mined silver bur chases wer? inaugurated Dec. n. 1933. as a step in carrying out no London s lver agreement re-
lirine greater use of silver as ,©ney. the treasury has purchased ^1552.000 ounces of the newly-ir.ed metal.

Trojan students last night at tended their first 1935 campaign meeting, took their first puffs of political-cigar smoke, and heard Dick Parker, candidate for president of the A. S. U. S. C., outline his plans for the approaching three-way fight for the office.
More than 200 S. C. students packed the Detla Delta Delta sorority house and enthusiastically voiced their support of Parker's candidacy. Several outstanding campus leaders gave brief talks in behalf of their candidate, while Russ Nixon, Parker’s manager, presented an introductory analysis of the approaching campaign.
Platform Planks Three planks of an extensive platform were proposed by Dick Parker in speaking before the attending students. Outstanding was his plea for representation of the S. C. —foreign student population on the legislative council either through an elective or ex-officio official. Secondly, Parker announced complete support of a fully organized campus beautification program, to aid in adding to University of Southern California prestige and as a factor in the rushing of future Trojan students.
A third proposal by the candidate was for an extended intercollegiate athletic program, which would allow more Trojan athletes to enjoy the advantages of actual competition. The success of the schedule of the Spartan football team last year was pointed to as an example of what can be done in this respect.
*Ontstsnding Man”
Nixon introduced Parker as— “outstanding among the candidates for the position because of a previous unselfish and uninterrupted career of service at S. C., which is firm basis for believing he can best fill the position as A. S. U. S. C. president.”
Among the students who spoke in favor of Parker for the high S. C. executive position were Joe Bills, former I. C. A. A A. A. high huidles champion, enrolled at the piesent time in the School of Law; Betty Bastanchury. chief justice ox the Women’s Judicial court; Bill Boehlert. member of the men's council; Otto Bolin, president of Sigma Nu, and Dick Nash, sports editor of the Daily Trojan.
sat at his desk with 150 newspaper reporters in a semi-circle in frcnt of him. and, with a professional air, explained his economic strategy i for the next year.
Program Revealed
This, said the president, is the | eight-point program under which j the largest peace-time appropriation in history will be spent:
1.	Highway construction and the elimination of grade crossings.
2.	Aid to persons in stricken agricultural regions and a general program of rehabilitation for rural America.
3.	Electrification for farms.
4.	Construction of low-cost houses in both country and city.
5.	Assistance to white collar workers.
6.	Continued expansion of the civilian conservation corps.
7.	Loans to counties, cities and
states.
8.	Soil erosion prevention and reforestation.
Further Development#
So vast and intricate is this program, Mr. Roosevelt indicated, that it could not be covered in one day, hinting at further developments tomorrow. They probably wiU concern the Federal Emergency Relief administration and its chief, Harry L. Hopkins.
The president’s idea Is that the relief work gradually will be reduced. He is expecting this second great drive against the depression to lift millions off the relief rolls onto pay rolls.
Mr. Roosevelt said his planS called for three more federal agencies;
1.	A division to carry’ out the grade crossing elimination.
2.	An organization, under one of the few original "brain trusters” left in Washington—Rexford Guy Tugwell—to co-ordinate rural rehabilitation work.
3.	A division in charge of rural electrification.
Funds to Be Loaned
Even while the president was talking, Washington was alive with plans for spending the $4,880,000,-000. Most of it will be put out as loans, in contrast to direct grants, Mr. Roosevelt said, because —the government wants to be as thrifty as possible and recover much of the outlay.
Many projects have reached the stage where they need nothing except the signal to go ahead. Some of them are express highways, farm-to-market roads, causeways, and sidewalks and city streets.
Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper will seek a share of the $4,-880.000,000 for a national airport development program.

Campus Leaders To Meet With Haugh
Presidents of the schools and coDeges of the university are requested to meet Robert Haugh, president of associated students, in 202. Student Union at 1:30 pjn. today.
“It may be necessary to mi^ a few minutes of the afternoon class, but it is Imperative that I see each president at that time,” Haugh said.
Those asked to appear are J.3 Inin. Jack Nelson, Roy Brown. Lester Koritz. Gus Kalionzes, Dave Mohr. Paul Rousso. Bill Stratton, Mary Elizabeth White, and the president of the School of Speech.
“William Morris preached pure
beauty and artistry of hand and soul to fight growing drabness, growing industrialism, and growing urban wretchedness of the modem age," Dr. Frank C. Baxter, English professor, said yesterday.
Dr. Baxter will speak on “William Morris: the Artistry of Hand and Soul’’ today at 4:15 in 206 Administration.
“In this age we see the triumph of Morris, who in his lifetime, howled in the wilderness in vain. Americans are becoming more conscious of beauty of clothes, books, architecture, . furniture, decorations,’’ Dr. Baxter pointed out.
Nineteenth century literature shows man after man fighting against the changing pace of things. Ruskin. Carlyle, Arnold, Browning, Tennyson. Huxley, Newman. Morris ail represent this protest.
“If the vision of the prophet is very great, it may come into its own after their death. The history of the world’s progress is the world trying to catch up to the dead and frustrated prophets. Those jebels such as William Morris who happen to be prophets or who seek to bring about a social change seem doomed to face a fearful disillusionment and misery in their own lives,” continued Dr. Baxter.
The lecture is one of a series of free public lectures being given by S. C. literature professors every Thursday, dealing with outstanding men of letters. The series is entitled “Literary Leaders of Yesterday; Their Contribution to Problems of Today.”
Dr. John D. Cooke, chairman of the English department, is in charge of the series.

Carlos arrives, seemingly in ill health, but later confesses to Maruja, the young niece, played by Lois Curry, that his actions are only a ruse to gain money with which to pay his debts in Madrid.

Third Party Movement Is Threatened by Coughlin
DETROIT, April 24.—<tLE;—The National Union for Social Justice tonight hurled the threat of a third political party to “blast out reactionaries, conservatives and hypocrites who disgrace the halls of congress.”
“We are not organized to compete with the old parties,” Father Charles E. Coughlin told 15,000 cheering Michigan members of the union, "but we are organizing under a definite necessity to remove the hypocrites ln congress who impede the movement toward the goal of social Justice.”
In a voice ringing with passion, the fiery radio priest blasted both Democrats and Republicans “whose siren voice promised production at a profit.”
“Pseudo-champions of a Just ai d living wage have inveigled the laborer into the ranks of either party* Coughlin said. “One gospel was preached ln agricultural sections of the country and another
gospel totally different professed in industrial centers.”
The laborer and the farmer, upon whom the nation depends, Coughlin said, have been and still are “regarded as pawns to be played with on the chess board of politics.
“The political manipulator, backed by banking interests, has laughed at your feeble minorities and individualistic struggles ac he played the local interests of the city.”
Father Coughlin advanced an organization plan to constitute the third phase in development of the N. U. S. J.
In Michigan, the priest said, a beginning will be made in organization in the automotive industry.
“These million laborers, almost individualists, are practically devoid of bargaining power because they lack solidarity. It is here where we shall begin,” he said.

Law School To ‘Ditch’ Friday
Junior Baseball Team To Attempt Downfall of Senior Lawyers
“If they let me pitch, well win,” said Art Strock, mainstay of the senior Law School baseball team, which meets the junior team in the annual “Ditch Day” clash at the Gerard country club tomorrow.
“Those Dean brothers wttl look like two old maids at a speUing bee after I get through with this game tomorrow,” continued Strock.
Sentiments expressed by the senior players all seem to point to an easy victory for the upper classmen. The juniors, however, insist that the game will not be a walkaway in any sense of the word.
Sign On the Line
While the basebaii game occupies center of the afternoon’s stage, other activities will come in for their share of the spotlight. Golf, tennis, touch-football, swimming. and horseshoes will be included on the sports program. Awards will be made to winners in each of the events.
“Anyone wishing to enter the goli tournament may sign up at the clubhouse,” announced Maurice Hindin, golf chairman.
Ah! Eats!

Hal Eger, ticket chairman, reports that reservations for luncheon are still available at 75 cents a plate. In the afternoon the remaining athletic meets will be staged.
“Ditch Day” is an annual event in the S. C. Law School. It is the last holiday before the long final ex? ms begin. All students and professors cut classes for the entire day. and spend the day in play. When ‘‘Ditch Day” was first planned, it was intended to be only for upper classmen. The plan was not practical, however, and the freshmen are now invited.
