‘Crisis With Japan Certain’-Pittman
RENO. Nev., Dec. 9 — <U.E> — A crisis between the United States and Japan is certain to arise. Sen. Key Pittman. D.. Nev., chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, said tonight.
“The time must come when our interests in the Pacific will be shockingly brought to our attention.” he remarked, indirectly referring to Japan as an "international bandit” in his talk before a local club.
“As Japan acquires more and more Chinese land, our markets are restricted just that much.
“No single power in the world today has the power to stop the Japanese. If Great Britain used her entire fleet in an effort to blockade Japan, it would be sunk. Only the combined navies of Britain and the United States could speak with authority to the Japanese.”

University of California at Los Angeles’ Bruins will meet Southern California’s Trojans in the coliseum Thanksgiving day next year.
Out of a whirlpool of rumors and a formal admittance by Rutus B. von KleinSmid at the annual football banquet last Friday, came word last night from the conference meeting in San Francisco that the Trojan and Bruin schedule-makers decided to resume activities after a six-year layoff. The last encounter found the Trojans at the peak of football fame and the weak Bruins fell before a 56-0 onslaught.
Under the guidance of Bill Spaulding. U.CL_A. football coach, the Westwooders sponsored a steady climb into the bracket of major football elevens. The Bruins reached the pinnacle of their grid history this season by tieing for th®
______mythical conference championship
with California and Stanford. Th* Bruins scored one of the most astounding upsets of the year by nipping the defending champions from Palo Alto, 7-6, early in the season, but later lost their chance for an undisputed title when defeated by California.

Merriam Affirms, Denies Daily Trojan Prediction
SACRAMENTO. Dec. 9 — 0> — He is not an active candidate for the presidency or vice-presidency of the United States, despite a prediction of the Daily Trojan. S. C. publication to the contrary. Gov. Frank F. Merriam said today.
Confirming the Daily Trojan, however, the chief executive said he would not object if the electorate decides to draft him for one of the positions.
The Daily Trojan reported the governor had told members of the Young Men’s Political association of the university student body last Friday that he would be a candidate in the primaries “if the voters of the state desire.”
Today, he said, “There must have been some error. I don’t recall having said anything like that to anyone on the Daily Trojan. I am not a candidate for president or vice-president. I am not a candidate in the sense of asking any person for it, either in California or outside. I appreciate the fine compliment being paid me by my friends in organizing clubs and volunteering support, and I make no request of them to cease.”
Asked if he understood former
President Herbert Hoover would be a candidate, Merriam said, “I don’t know about that and if I did I wouldn’t tell you.”
The governor has been said to desire an instructed delegation to the next G.O.P. convention to forestall any outside candidates obtaining the full support of California delegates.
Christmas songs with solos to be sung by Merlyn Pearce. The first part will conclude with two more selections by the university orchestra.

I. R. Students Will Meet To Make Plans for Ball
Merriam ‘Tight Rope Walking,’ Belief
Governor Merriam’s statement concerning the announcement of his candidacy was looked upon locally as a bit of “dexterous political tight-rope walking” as he both affirmed and denied the prediction.
He said he would not object if the electorate decided to draft him, which was interpreted to mean that he is a candidate despite his claim that he “Is not an active candidate.”
Merriam is apparently desirous of gaining a high national office but does not wish at this time to come out with a straightforward, unequivocal announcement of that fact.
Available for young men and women is the foreign service examination to be given at San Francisco next May 4th.
Ten applicants from the University of International Relations include Arthur Wisner, David Mohr, Ruth Frankel, Mary Susan Brown, Winton Jones, Sophia Rogoski. Marjorie Benbow, Victor Langford, Robert Rowley, and Harold Ogden.
Students from any other campus school or college who are still undecided about their future may find the proffered opportunities worthy of consideration as a possible solution to the “alter college, what?" question.
