Students as to T. N. E.
By Tom Lawless
Editor's Note: This space was to have given to Paul Roukso’p refutation of Kuss .Nixon’s statements in yesterday’s raj>er. Rousso last night asked that Tom Lawless’ rtport of the Bishop-for-pr^sident meeting be used as a refutation instead.
Plans Made for Scholarship Day
‘ If Dick Parker violated his oath to a false organization — and admittedly he did according to Russ Nixons article yesterday in the Daily Trojan — might he not violate his oath to the student body next year if he were elected president?”
With this charge running prominently through his sincere and impromptu talk, Howard Patrick threw last night’s Eames Bishop campaign meeting into an uproar by stepping forward just as the meeting was being adjourned by Paul Rousso and asking permission to give his “personal convictions” in regard to the present campaign.
Distinct Surprise
Coming as a distinct surprise to all the 700 S.C. students assembled on the Phi Kappa Psi lawn, Patrick’s frank and forceful plea that “wc talk, not of T.N.E.. but of M. E.N. — men” tossed a final bombshell into what had been a presentation of Bishop’s policy and plans and a straight-forward refutation of previous charges made by the opposition.
Varsity debater and member of the men’s council, Patrick pointed out that in yesterday’s article that Parker, through Nixon, stated “in the last student body election they (T-N.E.) admittedly opened ballot boxes and stuffed them by the handfull” and re-quoted Harry Lee Martin to the effect that “members of Theta Nu Epsilon are taught to lie, to deceive, and to cheat; to put

the serving of their own purposes.” Parker In for Year
He then pointed out forcefully to the group of 700 Trojan students that Parker belonged to the organization for over a year through the previous campaign — while Bishop was in the group for no more than six months.
“So, if lieing, cheating, and deceiving are the lessons taught by T.N.E., then Parker has had a year’s start on Bishop,” Patrick pointed out.
“And if he had courage, as he claimed throughout the article, why didn’t he, a year ago when he knew of the ballot stuffing, walk into the president’s office and reveal it? Instead he waits until a political campaign is underway to bring all this cut. It isn’t courage, but political propaganda/'

During the day there will be three i different sessions. The first will be held at 9:40 a.m. in Bovard auditorium. with Dr. Edwin Diller Star-buck presiding: the second at 4:30 p.m. in Bowne hall, Mudd Memorial, with Dr. Mildred C. Struble as rhairman: and a banquet at 6:30 p.m in the Women's Residence hall, with Dr. Frank C. Touton presiding.
The program will be officially lepened with an address of welcome tby Dr Rufus B. von KleinSmid. kind u’lll feature solos by Mary Otile Macintosh and Mary Hobson Crow, vith William Strobridge as accompanist: and will close with an ad-aress by Thomas Nixon Carver, of he class of ’91, who is a professor j)f political economy at Harvard niversity.
Out of the mire of the present Trojan political situation certain considerations gain an inevitable preeminence. First among them is the fact that Dick Parker, contrary to the contention of Mr. Cislini. has at no time neglected the constructive feature of his campaign.
With four definite and workable proposals Dick has given the student body his modest but plausible platform. He has come before them with a record of achievements which were notable before any connection with T.NE. He has distinguished himself by work done in modest capacities; results which need no exaggeration.
T.N.E. Domination The second major consideration is the issue confronting our university, as to whether or not student body affairs still continue to be dominated by a self-appointed secret group, T.N.E. Bishop and his cohorts, attempting to divert attention from this fundamental problem have blasted Parker with every charge of personal infamy for his having broken his oath to them. They have proceeded upon the theory' that once a man gets mixed up with a bunch of gangsters, it is a crime for him to break loose. They have condemned Dick Parker for placing his honor to his university above that of his honor due to Theta Nu Epsilon. Moreover they have opposed Dick Parker with a man who has flaunted the student body which he allegedly desires to .... serve with repeated falsehoods, aside every honorable principle in Eames Bishop did not hesitate to

New Officers Take Helm of Service Group
New officers were installed at the regular meeting of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, Tuesday night. Installing officer was Everett Winn, president of the group during the past year.

claim credit for increasing SERA parking lot appropriations, an increase which was never a fact. Once he lied to his student body!! Eames Bishop did not hesitate to piomise the students two bands a month when by his own evidence only two such bands are available a semester. Twice he lied to his student body!!!
Denied Existence
Until yesterday Eames Bishop has had the audacity to continually deny the existence of T.N.E. or of any combine behind him. Yet in his last meeting, the entire fact of T. N.E. and its political machinations were unequivocally admitted. Thus again the falsehood was thrown by Bishop. Three times in as many weeks Eames Bishop has lied to you, his student body, which tomorrow he asks to make him its president.
Then, finally Eames Bishop, broke faith with the administration and with the students, when he said some nine days ago, “when it’s (the elections) all over we’ll get together on the same political setup as before.” This statement remains today undenied and brands the T.N. E. candidate as devoid of every vestige of honor before the eyes of Trojans. Four times he lied to his student body !!!!
After all, with what are we concerned? Is it with a man’s honor to a dishonorable, ill-reputed, evilly-motivated fraternity or is it with his publicly stated word to the university which above all else commands our present consideration.
If the former, vote for Bishop; if the latter, choose Parker.
If you are a T.N.E., stand by Bishop; if you’re just an S. C. student vote for Parker. Bishop kept his word to T.N.E. The man who has kept his word, his faith, to the University of Southern California

Landing Lights Were Not Burning As Plane Hit, Coroner Says
MACON. Mo.. May 8 — d'P) — A coroner’s jury which brought in a verdict blaming Pilot Harvey Bolton for the crash of the TWA Sky Chief airliner in which five lives were lost was instructed tonight to return tomorrow and reconsider its finding.
Heated objection to the verdict by Manuel Davis, attorney for the Transcontinental and Western Air Inc., resulted in three new periods of deliberation by the jurors after their original verdict.
Jurors agreed to add the word “accidental” to the first line of their original verdict which read: Verdict QWen “By reason of the crash of the airplane No. 323 of the TWA company, said plane flying from Los Angeles to New York, we think that the pilot was flying said plane too close to the ground without turning on the landing lights, with which the said plane was equipped. We recommend that the officials of the department of commerce make a full and complete investigation of the probable technical causes of this airplane crash.”
The concession to add “accidental” only infuriated Davis. He waved a heavy law book before Coroner D. W. Gooch and shouted:
“This jury should be instmcted to make a verdict to conform to state statutes.”
Attorney Makes Charges Davis charged that the jury was empowered only to decide what caused the deaths of Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, Pilot Harvey Boulton, Co-Pilot Kenneth Greeson, Miss Jeanne Anne Hillias of Kans?s City, and Mrs. William Kaplan of Hollywood.
Davis argued with individual members of the jury, charging that their verdict was contrary to the evidence. Dr. Gooch asked the jury if it wished to retire for a fourth period of deliberation.
Oscar Neel, insurance agent and member of the jury retorted:
“Why don’t you discharge us if you are not satisfied.”
Gooch said that he wished to see a verdict which would be satisfactory to all.
S.C. Election Dance To Be Held Monday
Dancing to the music of Walt Schumann’s ten-piece campus orchestra, Trojans and Trojanettes will bury the hatchet Monday night at an election dig in the women’s gymnasium. Old officers, new officers and defeated candidates will meet socially for an evening of pleasure, to launch the activities of the new year.
An admission charge of 25 cents for men and 10 cents for women will be made to defray expenses. All proceeds received above the amount necessary for music and refreshments will be turned over to the student committee in charge of raising money which will send the Southern California track team to the I.C.4-A meet in Harvard stadium May 31 and June 1. This dig, although an all-university get-together following the voting for Associated Student body officers Tri-day. is the second dance planned by the track committee to raise funds for the eastern trip.
As in former all-university dances at which campus bands have furnished the music for dancing, a public address system will insure ready enjoyment throughout the entire hall of the arrangements played by the orchestra. Recently reorganized, Schumann's group has planned original arrangements of five popular hit songs for Monday’s dance .
Dancing, which will begin at 7:30 p.m.. will stop at 9:30 p.m. to allow ample time for girls to return to their houses before university closing hours.
Earhart Plane Parker Clears Trojan Knights Completes Hop Of Any Political In Record Time Connections With T.N.E.
Non-Stop Flight Negotiated From Mexico City to Newark Airport
NEWARK AIRPORT, Newark, N. J., May 8 — (LLP) — Amelia Earhart Putnam dropped out of the sky from Mexico at 10:28:50 p.m. E.S.T. tonight with a new flying record to be manhandled by a crowd of 5,000 cheering enthusiasts who trampled th“ few police sent to hold them.
Within a few moments after her big high-wing monoplane glided into the glare of the floodlights, the aviatrix was surrounded by a jostling mob.
Finally rescued, her only concern was for the safety of her plane and her only regret that she had been “so slow.”
She was so “slow” she only made the flight in 1 hour 41 minutes less than she calculated for the trip. She believed headwinds prevented her from making a “more creditable” showing on the 2070-mile grind that no flier — man or woman “ever had flown before, non-stop.” Flight On Schedule
Despite the hazards of the trip— the mountains of eastern Mexico, the 700 miles over the gulf, and stormy weather over the southern part of the United States—she had come in like an airliner on scheduled run. She had contacted ground stations with her two-way radio at regular intervals and at no time reported any difficulty.
Putnam bustled the tall, tousle-headed flier into his automobile, then jumped into another car wthich sped across the field with gong sounding. The crowd rushed to the decoy machine for a moment, then discovered the subterfuge and crowded around Mrs. Putnam’s car.
She sat good-humor edly waiting for the press of admirers to free her, although she was shoved and mussed.
Amused by Crowd
Men near her tried in vain to hold back the throng which sought to press as near as possible to her. She took it as a frolic and smiled.
Putnam rushed back to her side, angry at the crowd’s stubbornness, but his wife—after more than half a day in the air—laughed.
Police at last forced their way, clubs held aloft, through the mob which had outstripped them in the race across the field.
Forming a wedge around the flier and her husband, they forced their way to the national guard airdrome.
To The Associated Students:
Lest a factual misunderstanding be the result, in order to continue the principle of veracity of statement which has guided my campaign, it is well that I say whUe I was a member of T. N. E. no vote was taken in regard to the presidency of the Trojan Knights, although that inference was created.
The accusation that the Trojan Knight cabinet has prostituted the organization with unfair patronage was made because of a conversation between Roy Noon and Fred Nagel which caused me to firmly believe that T. N. E. was endeavoring to exert political pressure. An understanding has been reached that such was not the actual truth.
To the best of my knowledge T. N. E. has never taken official part in Trojan Knights’ or Squires’ elections, and the policy of those specific groups has never been of a political nature.
(Signed) R. F. Parker.
150 at Non-Org Meeting Create New Organization
Strong impetus for a permanent association of nonorganization students was given at a mass meeting in Touchstone theater yesterday noon which was attended by over 150 persons. Definite recommendations for officers other than all-U were also made.	•*-
Speaking as representative of the executive committee was Arthur Groman, varsity debater and non-org. who outlined the plan submitted by Nathan Tanchuck, modeled after one instituted a.t the University of Utah, to weld non-Greek men and women into a body to fight machines and procure adequate representation.
The executive council, its membership now permanently assured, composed of Francis Benavidez, Arthur Groman. Bill Bohlert, Ruth Frankel, and Margaret King, has placed approval on several nominees.
Scott Brewer, executive chairman, was in charge of the meeting, introducing Art Groman, who in turn called upon Margaret King and Ruth Frankel for remarks.
The fact was stressed that those candidates not recommended were not necessarily to be taken as opposed to non-org interests, but that those named had pledged definite consideration of the non-org element next year.
Class Elections
Special appeal was made to those present not to allow the interest which has been shown to die down.
Compinsky Trio Will Appear in Bovard Tonight
Students of S.C. will have their last opportunity of this season to hear the Compinsky trio when it appears tonight in Bovard auditorium. Engagements have compelled the group to cancel the program previously scheduled for May 23.
An unusual feature of tonight’s program will be the first public performance of a new composition by Willy Stahl entitled “Three Trees.” The number, which has been dedicated to the Compinskys, consists of three movements, “Cypress,” “Williow,” and “Oak.’’
Other ensemble numbers to be played are “Trio in C Minor. Opus 101,” by Brahms and “Trio in G Minor, Opus 15,” by Smetana.
Manuel Compinsky will be heard in three violin solos, “Serenade Mel-ancholique,” by Tchaikowski; “Song of the Nightingale,” by Sarasate; and another composition of Willy Stahl, “Five Impressions.”
Crowd Nears Riot As Townsend Talks
DENVER, Colo., May 8.—(ILE)—A near riot was precipitated here tonight when Dr. F. E. Townsend confronted Joseph A. Gross, former state Townsend clubs manager and leader of the Colorado revolt against the leadership of Dr. Townsend, at a crowded mass meeting of 2,000 old age pension supporters.
After Townsend had delivered "an address erplaining his plan and calling for united action to enact it into law, he threw the meeting open to questions.
Gross sprang to his feet and demanded to be allowed to speak.
When Townsend refused to yield the floor to the rebel leader, boos and cat-calls filled the auditorium.
Former California State Senator Frank Arbuckle threatened to call the police. Gradually the meeting quieted down.

Sketch on Draxy Penned by Golay; Not Miss Trengove
While the proof readers yawned sleepily, the printers puttered with the type and the desk editor was next door to the night office of the Daily Trojan playing pool, a political sketch of Draxy Trengove, lone candidate for vice-president of the student body, wr*s placed into the newspaper page form.
Leading the sketch was the credit line which read “by Draxy Tren-gove.”
Tha credit line did an injustice to | both Miss Trengove and Jack Go-| lay, political sketch artist of the j Daily Trojan. The article was j about Draxy, but Golay wrote it.
Veterans Draft New Bonus Plan
Patman Bill Veto Spectre Stirs Bonus Leaders To Compromise
WASHINGTON. May 8 — <tT.E> — Alarmed by word that President Roosevelt was preparing a prompt veto of the Patman inflationary soldier bonus bill, veteran leaders in the senate tonight worked on a compromise measure designed to overcome White House opposition.
Sen. Bennett C. Clark, D.. Mo., who offered the Vinson bill, defeated in the senate yesterday, admitted tonight that negotiations were in progress with supporters of the Patman measure.
The comprcmise under discussion, it was learned, would stipulate that the bonus must be paid immediately but would give President Roosevelt authority tat meet the debt in three ways:
Points
1.	Issuance of green-backs 3s provided for in the Patman bill.
2.	A bond issue as provided in the Vinson bill.
3.	Use of money from the $4 000,-000,000 work-relief fund.
Sen. Elmer Thomas, D.. Okla, leader of the Patman forces in the senate, said tonight that various compromise proposals, including the one sponsored by Clark, had been placed before his group.
He explained his forces were taking no arbitrary position.
“I believe the Patman bin and the new currency that would be placed in circulation would benefit the whole country,” Thomas said. “Straight, out payment of the bonus would benefit only the veterans. If we cannot get the Patman bill, then I want to help the veterans and will take the next best.”
Earlier, strong indications came from the White House that President Roosevelt was prepared to veto the Patman bill and send a message thereon immediately to Capitol hill.
Reconsideration
Thomas moved for a reconsideration of the vote by which the senate yesterday adopted the measure
His move, he said, was prompted by a desire to have all supporters of the Patman bill In the capital when the show-down came on the president’s veto. He declined to admit that his group did not have sufficient votes to pass the bill over a veto.
Friday’s Vote To Terminate Hot Campaign
Complete instructions for Voters Announced By Pink Jones
Ao the eve of one of the most bitterly fought A.S.U.S.C. elections approaches, students will be given their final opportunity to register between the hours of 9 and 12 this morning at the central post ln front of the Administration building. The deadline is at noon, Pink Jones elections commissioner declared.
Amazons, women’s service organization, will take over complete charge of the counting of ballots tomorrow as well as all the other arrangements as an emergency measure to assure a clean election as the climax to one of I*roy’s bitterest campaigns. Jones issued his final instructions to voters after Legislative council meeting yesterday.
Points
The following points were stressed in his statement :
1.	The polls will open at 8:30 ajn. Friday and will close at 3 p.m.
2.	Identification cards mu6t be presented by the voter at the polls.
3 In order to vote, a stuitoit mupt have registered previous to 12 o’clock Thursday.
4. The voter, upon voting, must give his ballot to the Amazon in charge of the poll and see that his name is crossed off the registered voter list when his ballot is placed in the ballot box.
To assure an unbiased vote. Jones declared that there may be no electioneering within 50 feet of the. polls. He further stated that no one wil! be allowed within the polling place except those actually voting and the Amazons in charge.
Illegal Balloting
To forestall any illegal or unfair balloting, voters will be required to sign their names opposite their signature on the registration list, asserted Jones. The fact that Amazons will for the first time have complete charge of all voting will further insure impartiality, he pointed out.
“Under no condition will a write-in vote be counted” the elections commissioner emphasized in answer to the many questions concerning write-in candidates. “All ballots having candidates written in will be destroyed,” he added.
Students of the various schools and colleges, according to Jones, must vote at designated polling places, which are as follows: International Relations, Speech, Graduate School, Education, and L-A.S., in front of the Administration building; commerce, the south entrance of Old College; music, in the music building; architecture, architecture building; law, law building; engineering. Bridge hall; junior dental, technical builr^ng; pharmacy, south entrance of Science; and medicine, north entrance of Science.
In the class elections, students will vote as follows: class of *38 will vote for sophomore officers; class of ’37, for juniors, and class of ’36, for seniors.
The ballots will be counted Immediately after the closing of the polls at 3 p.m. Friday in 206 Administration building. Again, in order to assure absolute fairness throughout the elections proceedings, Jones stated that anyone who so desires may be present at *he counting of the ballots. At the counting either Dr. Francis Bacon or a representative of the administration will be present at all times.

Maritime Strike Threatens Coast
SAN FRANCISCO. May 8.—<EE>-
A general maritime strike paralysing all Pacific coast shipping wil) be voted upon by the powerfully and newly-crganized Marine Federation within the next week, it was announced tonight.
The 26 unions and 35,000 men comprising the federation will b« asked to decide whether they wiU walk out in support of the coast oU tank ship stnke, now nearlj two months old.
That the walkout would be voted seemed an almost foregone conclusion, inasmuch as organizers ot the Marine Federation in Seattle already have declared “100 per cent” support of the strike. The powerful International Longshoremen’s association, led by fiery Harry Bridge^ “left winger,” also has declared its support of the walkout.
The coast shipping industry already faced labor difficulties in the Pacific northwest, where lumber strikes threaten a major tie-up*
