Litvinoff Sees Threat of War With Germany
Russian Ambassador Makes Statement at Affair For Anthony Eden
Britain and Russia Agree
Relations Between Nations Now Being Patched L'p In Soviet Capital
MOSCOW, March 28, — (U.P' — Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinoff uttered a thinly veiled warning to-night that Germany was preparing for war.
At a reception tonight for Capt. Anthony Eden, British lard privy : seal and peace envoy to Moscow, j ,Litvinoff asserted that no weapon [had been invited which fired in oue direction only — obviously meaning the possibility of a German attack either toward the east or west.
The foreign commisar refrained j from mentioning Germany by; name, but his meaning was not j lost on his audience.
Invitation to Membership
Litvin off’s speech was an invitation for more cordial relations between the Soviet union and Great Britain in the interest of peace. Eden responded briefly in similar vein.
Earlier, it has been indicated they were in full agreement on all points discussed in an initial two-hour conversation on the various Franco-British peace proposals, including the eastern Locarno security pact originally sponsored by Litvinoff.
Litvinoff, after declaring that never since the world war had peace been so menaced as now added:
“None of us is clever enough to be able to fortell exactly which state or states would be first, or more greatly, affected by this danger, for it points in all directions.
Fire In Two Directions
“It would be naiver to expect the Instigators of this danger to tell us exactly at what points we must protect ourselves. Nor has there yet been invented a weapon capable of firing in one direction only.”
The remark was interpreted as meaning that Great Britain may be menaced as much by Germany’s re-armament as Russia.
The commissar said the Eden Tisit was not merely the beginning of new Angelo-Russian cooperation for peace, but a pledge for its continuation.
Captain Eden, responding, said intention of his visit was as in Berlin, “explanatory.” He made it Tear that he was not in Moscow to legotiate, but believed the talks Tould mark “a hopeful landmark the relations between our two .un tries.”

Simon Optimistic Despite Gloominess of Report On Peace Mission
Opinion Differences Arise
Concessions Demanded by German Leader Before Return to League
LONDON. March 28. — (U.E) — Reichsfurhrer Adolf Hitler is determined to stick b5T his guns on re-armament and will demand further concessions before returning to the League of Nations. Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon, revealed in the House of Commons today.
Sir John, reporting on his conversations with the German dictator, frankly admited sharp “differ-:ences of opinion’’ developed.
He remained ostensibly optimistic. but a note of failure in his report was sensed by an anxious house.
“There were considerable differences of opinion.” Sir John said, j in response to a question from George Lansburv, Labor leader, “however, the result undoubtedly will prove valuable to both sides, as we were able clearly to understand our respective viewpoints—a process indispensible to further progress.”
Report Gloomy
The white-haired foreign secretary’s report following an audience with King George in which he was believed to have given a “gloomy” report on his peace mission to the reich. Their talk remained, as usual. a strict state secret.
The three major conditions which Hitler was said to have demanded for return to the league were:
1.	Restoration to Germany of at least one of her colonies.
2.	The former Allies formally to abolish the Versailles treaty military restriction clauses.
3.	The league covenant be separated entirely from the Versailles treaty.
Hitler Agrees
Sir John reportedly told the king that Hitler agreed with Britain in a mutual ofs:re for early conclusion of an aerial assistance pact — one of the points 1 i the Franco-Briiish series of security accords presented at. Berlin—and a treaty limiting armaments.
However, even on these points, divergencies persist becauw; Hitler ranted to consummate the air pact now, while fir John adhered to the Fra nco-Er.’ tish contention that this project’s operation must depend on other security arrangements.
Election commissioners of all schools and colleges in the university will meet today at 10 o’clock in 224 Student Union, according to an announcement made by Pink Jones, chief commissioner of elections. Representatives from the College of Dentistry are excepted.
Matters pertaining to the coming student body elections will be discussed at this meeting. Registration of voters particularly will be considered by the commissioners. Elections will be held in May.

Well Known S.C. Actors To Play Parts in Drama
‘See Naples and Die’ Backed By National Collegiate Theatrical Group
“See Naples and Die.” laughing! That seems to be the consensus of advice among those in the know concerning how best to spend tonight’s precious social time. With the curtain scheduled to rise at 8:15 o’clock on Bovard stage, this evening’s offering of Elmer Rice’s most hiiarious satirical comedy promises to be the most entertaining dramatic presentation the S. C. campus has witnessed in many a moon.
Sponsored by the local chapter of National Collegiate Players, the production contains within its cast the cream of student dramatists. Walter Prill and Nadine Adams, as Charles Carroll and Nannette Dodge Kosoff respectively, assure humorous romanticism of the first order. Maurice Luis, as Prince Ivan Ivano-vitch Kosoff. Nannette's degenerate blackmailing Russian husband, and Jane Johantgen, as Nannette’s respectably married sister, Mitzi. keep things rolling at a most amusing pace.
Enchanting Wanderers
Just to plug up any stray cracks that might exist in the romantic element, Frances Fin tel, as Kune-gunde Wandl. enticing Roumanian private “nurse,” and Glorya Curran, as Luisa, warm-blooded Italian “hired girl,” wander enchantingly through the two acts.
Cray Thomas portrays Angelo Db Medici and Helen McCall, his wife.
Adding to the League of Nations complex are gushing Lucy Evans, (rom “the States." (Dorothy Martin); super-moral English artist Basil Rawlinson < Brainerd Duf-field); and German private detective Hugo von Klaus (Robert J. Norton).
Further native atmosphere is provided by the explosive carriage driver, done by William White, Stepan, played by Eugene Browne, and the Fascist guards, portrayed by Roland Edwards and Rendel Terrell.
Tommy King and Lynn Nearpass, properly disguised, perform much inactive chess and most active surprises throughout the play.
And Fashions, Too! Something in the way of a fashion show will be offered for the approval of particular compus ladies. Gowns for the production are being furnished through the courtesy of the exclusive Mary Wiley shop of 4328 Crenshaw boulevard. Hats are by Grace Taylor.
The play Is under the competent direction of Miss Florence Huboard, director of play productions, assisted by Mable Pruitt and Mary Clan-foni. Sets were designed and constructed by the play productions stage crew and the stagecraft class under Kurt Baer von Wetsslingen, with Norita Keppel and Joe Berthelet assisting.
An interesting study of Tom King and Lynn Nearpass who furnish actionless chess and active surprises in the National Collegiate Players’ production of “See Naples and Die” to be given this evening in Bovard auditorium.

Pan American Airway's new airline trail blazer, the Oriental Clipper, soared out of a high banked fog late today, skimmed to rest on the surface of San Diego harbor, completing a 1630-mile hop over water from Acapulco, Mexico.

More than 1,000 persons crowded Ifaa navy landing ramp al North
island as the gray-winged airbird banked into the wind, levelled out for its target and settled gracefully on the water—12 hours and 9 minutes out of Acapulco.
The six members of the crew were weary-eyed from lack of sleep but jubilant over the success of the flight. The plane flew from Miami. Fla., to Acapulco yesterday, and took off at 4:51 a.m. »PST) today for the final leg.
“We completed the trip with perfect satisfaction.” Capt. Musicic told C. E. Schildhauer, Pan American division manager, who met him ar the landing ramp.
