Small Minority Observes Day of Peace
Copyright, 1935 by United Press.
A small minority of humanity yesterday solemnly observed with thanksgiving the 17th anniversary of the world war armistice as the nations of the north again trembled on the brink of wholesale slaughter.
The powers victorious in the “war to end wars” celebrated the cessation of the bloodiest war in history. But the defeated central powers, led by Germany, and three-fourths of the population of the globe paid not the slightest attention to November 11, as is their custom.
The solemn peace observance in the United States and in about half of Europe came in the midst of an active war in Africa and the threat of conflicts in Europe and in the Orient. And even in the comparatively few countries where Armistice day is supposed to be revered, the war spirit named in riots, demonstrations, and belligerent utterances.

Songfest Date Set by Gannon At December 9
Dr. von KleinSmid Greets Conferees; Government School Is Sponsor
That there should be three copies of every book in one's private library and each copy bound differently is the belief of Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmld as expressed in his welcoming address last Friday to the Institute of Librarians which met for the first time on the S.C. campus. Over 300 attended.
Dr. von KleinSmid stated that the first copy should be beautifully bound and illustrated; a book with an aesthetic appeal. The second copy should be oound in some durable material such as buckram and would be for personal use. The third copy. Dr. von KleinSmid facetiously suggested, should be bound in iron, for the purpose of loaning to other people.
Louis Browne, author of several books, spoke of his work as an undergraduate librarian. Browne declared that he obtained a fine education by reading books in the stacks while being paid 15 cents an hour. Browne’s speech, aside from these few remarks, was on the importance of the coordination of reference bocks.
Propaganda's Effects?
“The Effect of Propaganda on Public Opinion," was the topic chosen by Dr. W. H. Burton, professor of education, who gave this address at a dinner Friday evening in the Foyer of Town and Gown. Dr. Burton asserted that malicious propaganda envolved four different techniques: namely, suppression, evasion, diversion, and fabrication.
Illustrating one of these propaganda methods —suppression— Dr Burton spoke of a serious epidemic of smallpox which had developed in Minneapolis some years ago and which the newspapers with the sanction of the board of health were about to publicize in an effort to curb any spreading. However, stated Dr. Burton, the city’s Chamber of Commerce and Merchants’ and Retailers’ association bribed the papers not to give it any publicity. The result of this was that 300 people died and over 1500 were ill and dying.
Bynum Attends Propaganda is not necessarily bad said the speaker, as it is only our connotation. “Education,” declared Dr. Burton, “teaches us how to think, not what to think."
Among other speakers who addressed the Institute for Librarians was Lindley Bynum, field representative for the Huntington library He spoke about his work which is to collect old rare historical manu scripts and letters, which are fumigated to kin bookworms and then preserved in specially contructed glass and steel rooms.

rThree reports should have been led by November 9." the vice-Esident declared. “Two more must filed for the second month’s i ^yroll—one this November 18 and 19 alone.
Giving sorority members ample time to practice their songs. Eileen Gannon, president of the Women’s Self Government association, has announced that December 9 is the date set for the Songfest participated in annually by S.C. Greek letter organizations.
Each year at this time the sororities gather brtfore an audience of unaffiliated and affiliated women to sing the songs of their respective houses in addition to a fraternity melody assigned to them by the songfest committee. Two prizes are awarded to the winners of first and second place in the competition.
The program is expected to follow the plan of last year’s songfest, in which a double quartet represented each local chapter, harmonizing the measures of their own and fraternity songs and joining as a whole to sing Alma Mater and other university tunes. Margaret King, social chairman of W.S.G-A. has been appointed chairman of the songfest committee and will announce her assistants later.

Captain Stephens
Claims 15 Miles
WINNER, SD, Nov. 11 — Captains Albert W. Stevens and Or-vil Anderson of the U. S. Army today piloted the giant stratosphere balloon, Explorer II, to a new unofficial world’s altitude record and came down to a perfect landing.
So gentle was the grounding of the metal gondola on the bleak prarie. some 60 miles east of here, that the round metal ball did not overturn. The balloonists had ascended to 74,187 feet.
At that record altitude, about 14 miles above sea level, Stevens and Anderson completed 15 scientific experiments by which the characteristics of the mysterious layer of rarified atmosphere known as the stratosphere may be studied.
They came down rapidly as the waning sun allowed the 3,500,000 cubic feet of helium gas in the towering bag to shrink and lose

bouyancy. Back in the heavier air near the ground, the balloonists climbed out on the rigging above the gondola.
From there, Stevens managed to snag a long ground rope to a clump of bushes and the balloon ceased drifting. Stevens then, by releasing small amounts of gas and coiling in the slack rope, brought the gondola down to an “easy landing.’* The rope caught ground about 4:13 p.m., and the balloon was grounded two minutes later.
As the gondola touched the sod. Stevens opened the great valve in ths top of the bag. The helium gas slipped away and the giant fabric collapsed in folds on the side of the gondola.
Four army planes which had followed the balloon landed in the same field. The pilots aided Stevens

Roosevelt Pledges America To Continued Peace During Address
Aggression Unthinkable’
Weapons for Defense Only To Be Policy of U.S., Executive Says
WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 —(UP) — On the 17th anniversary of the armistice, President Roosevelt stood at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier today and pledged America to new efforts for peace in a world plagued by threats of war.
Speaking before thousands in the white marble ampitheater of Arlington National cemetery, the president re-dedicated the nation to an everlasting struggle to prevent new tragedies of war.
Good Will Sought A November sun drenched the solemn gathering with its bright rays as the president in quiet words served notice upon a world once more filled with talk of war that:
“America will ever seek the ways of peace and by her example at home and abroad speed the return of good will among men.
“If we as a nation,” said Roosevelt, “by our good example can contribute to the peaceful wellbeing of the fellowship of nations, our course through the years will not have been in vain."
Aggression Unthinkable Any aggression by the United States, leading toward or contributing toward war, said Roosevelt, is unthinkable. He promised that the United States would never enter into any race of armaments nor seek to arm herself with weapons other than those needed for her own defense.
The primary purpose of this nation, said Roosevelt, is to avoid being drawn into war and to seek in every practicable way to promote peace and discourage war.
However, he warned, “America must and will protect herself."
Profits Denounced The president struck at those who sought to profit from the tragedy of war.
“Except for those few who have placed or would place temporary selfish gain ahead of national or world peace,” he said, “the overwhelming mass of American citizens are in hearty accord with these basic policies of our government, as they are also entirely sympathetic with the efforts of other nations to end war.”
He took a realistic view of international conditions and commented upon the fact that “most serious of all, international confidence in the sacredness of international contracts is on the wane.”
Canadian Trade Pact As an offset to the threats and jealousies of world powers. Roosevelt announced that he and Premier William MacKenzie King of Canada had agreed upon first principles of a trade treaty between the two nations, expected to increase further the unbroken amity and good will of the neighbor countries.
Roosevelt defended America’s record as a leader in the cause of peace.
“We have striven with great consistency,” he said, “to approve steps to remove the causes of war and to disapprove steps taken by others to commit acts of aggression.
“We have either led or performed our full part in every important attempt to limit ahd to reduce armaments.
