Rising Costs Believed Will Force Reduction; New Men To Be Hired
NEW YORK, March 13.—<U.P>— There were signs tonight that the railroads might strike back at rising costs of operation which have splashed red ink in the balance sheets of most carriers.
One sign came from Patrick H. Joyce, vigorous head of the Chicago and Great Western railroad company, who suggested a 25 per cent pay cut for railroad workers— three-fifths to be used in hiring additional employees, and two-fifths to be used in meeting needs of the railroads. He said:
"The investors in railroad securities have taken their beating in a thorough and realistic way and they probably will have to take more if something is not done to lessen the expense of operation of railroads. I think it is now up to railway labor to see the light and accept a return within reason and with real benefits to the thousands of railway men now unemployed.’’
On April 1. railroads put into effect an additional 5 per cent wage increase—the last increase under the wage agreement. The agreement provides that no change in the wage rate may be sought until May. Several executives reportedly are considering seeking a reduction in wages after that time, some claiming that after April 1 railroad wages will be the highest in history.

In the first of a two debate series with Redlands university, S. C. camt out the victor last night with Howard Patrick and Homei. Bell of Troy taking a two to one decision over Bernard Hyink and Weston Macintosh from the other school. The event was held in Porter hall and the question of banning the international shipment of arms and munitions was discussed.
This debate was one of the closest of the season, being hotly contested by the four men who have appeared together with the same question on two other occasions. Patrick and Bell now have won two of three meetings, taking the affirmative each time. In their recent bay-region trip the Trojan pair also encountered Redlands in the finals for the championship of the Pacific province of Pi Kappa Delta.
Annual Affair
The University of Redlands by reason of having won the national debating title in previous years has established itself as one of the most formidable opponents which S. C. has in this part of the country. Their coach is Dr. Rav Nichols. The dual debates have come to be an annual affair.
Tonight Robert Feder and Arthur Groman will travel to Redlands to complete the series. The former student has been prominent in tournament debating for S. C. and Groman represented Troy against California in January. They will be accompanied by Dr. Alan Nichols, coach.
Last night Howard Patrick was | named first speaker of the evening by the judges, consisting of Rob- j ert Clark, debate coach at Pasa- i dena Junior College; W. H. Head, j coach of Venice Union high school; and Frank Clemensen, coach at Franklin high school.
News Received
Clinton Jones, varsity debate manager, said last night that good news had been received from Mar-tyn Agens and James Kirkwood, S. C. forensic team, which is progressing eastward in a debating tour of the country’. At the University of Utah before a large crowd they won a two to one victory with nondecision contests following at Utah State and the University of Wyoming. Last night they were to have appeared against Creighton and tonight against the University j of Kansas.
After the Redlands series no debates are scheduled on the Trojan campus until April. Yesterday a group of freshmen went to Glendale junior college to meet forensic teams there.
Was Yesterday's Rally an Example of Trojan Spirit?
(An Editorial)
When S. C. had a winning football team, nobody paid any attention to the rallies, spirit at the games was ,-eth-argic. Last season, S. C. had a losing, but a fighting grid team—spirit ran rampant.
When basketball teams were good, but not quite good enough, the spirit on the campus was again high. When one of the greatest Trojan teams ever to come on the court returns to th' .tmpus after winning the Pacific Coast championshj Jie student body bluntly snubs them.
The student body snubbed the basketball team yesterday morning. Knowing how apathetic the students nave been of late, the rally committee deliberately brought the rally to the students by holding it outside. The rest of the campus could not help realizing that something was in progress—in bold type, the Daily Trojan announced the affair—yet they stood on street corners like nothing had happened.
Athletics are not conducted solely for the benefit of the participants. The Associated Students do not spend considerable sums on teams each year solely for the benefit of athletes—the student body is supposed to be interested in the teams and support them.
If the undergraduate of the University of Southern California cannot at least walk over to the front of the Administration building to congratulate a team that fought as hard as that Trojan team at Corvallis Monday night, then it is time that basketball was made purely an intramural sport.
The handful of students who met the team at the Southern Pacific station yesterday morning saw a team that was enthusiastic. True, there were few students at the station, just as there were few students to wish them good luck the night thev left—but they knew that not, many Trojans would tal^f the trouble to drive to the station.
But when that basketball squad reached the campus, they must have wondered if the hard battle against Oregon State was worth all the fight, spirit, and heart which they put into it. Less than 300 students gathered in front of the Administration building to give a few yells for the men—several thousand students stood on corners not a block away and went on with their regular daily (Continued on Page Two i

ATHENS. March 13—(HP)—1Wholesale trials of thousands who participated in the abortive rebellion which swept Greece in the past 10 days will be started in military tribunals tomorrow.
A policy of “merciless punishment” for the rebel rabble and their leaders was enunciated by an official spokesman tonight.

U.C.LA. Council Opposes Strike
Thirty Students Ask for Provost’s Approval of April 1 2 Action
WESTWOOD, March 13.—(Exclusive) — The Associated Student council, student body governing organization oL the University of California at Los Angeles, tonight unanimously adopted a resolution against the national student strike against war, sponsored by the N.SL. and L.I.D., and scheduled for April 12.
The resolution reads as follows:
“The council goes on record as emphatically opposing the strike on April 12 as hindering a real movement toward world peace and as opposing ‘vigilante’ activities on that date as tending toward violence on the campus.”
A verbal battle over the strike has been earned on for several days on the U.CL.A. campus between N.S.L. leaders and Remington Olm-stead. leader of the “vigilantes,” a pseudo-patriotic organization.
Rarely is it possible for college students to enjoy the outstanding dance orchesras, and it’s an event when opportunity is provided where they may hear Fiorito, Grier, Lombardo, Ray Noble, Wayne, George Olson, Fred Waring, Paul Whitman and numerous other favorites lal in one evening, at one place, and at no j expense.

Judge Ira L. Letts Decides Congress May Not Set Price and Amount
Against Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, March 13 —(U.P) —Public Utility companies surged | forward in a counter-attack against ; President Roosevelt tonight, charg-• ing he was using his high office to disseminate “propaganda."
In Congress, members rushed to get on one side or the other of what probably will be the fiercest fight of the year—The struggle over adoption or rejection of the Wheeler-Rayburn bill which would drive all utUity holding companies out of existence within five years unless they can demonstrate that they are operating in the interest of the public.
Mr. Roosevelt indorsed the biU yesterday in a message to Congress in which he accused the utility companies of establishing a system orities and fraternities on the SC of “private socialism.” He said the

PROVIDENCE. R. I.. March 13— (IIP)—The Agricultural Adjustment act is unconstitutional as applied to intra-state business. Judge Ira Lloyd Lets ruled in Federal District court today.
Judge Letts granted an injunction restraining Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace and local Ma^-et Administratior O. A. Jamison from enforcing the Agriculture Adjustment act ?eainst three Rhodt Island retail milk dealers.
IllegaUty Claimed
The petitioners, Clarence E. Collins of Johnston, Thurston Helger-son of Cranston, and Albert L. Latham of North Smithfield charged that the act was being enforced against them illegally, in that their business was being carried on solely within the confines of Rhode Island.
Upholding the petitioners. Judge Letts in an extemporaneous ruling said in pan:
"There is no authority for the present or his agents or Congress to interfere with the business of a person who is conducting it solely within his own state.
Wipe Out State Rights “If such were a fact, aU state rights with regard to the supervision of business would be wiped out. If the government can dictate the pricc of milk and the amount any particular dealer may seU, it would be justified similarly in dictating to news dealers and the small corner drugstore.
“Congress has no more authority over the three plaintiffs than the Canadian Parliment at Ottawa.” The plaintiffs at an all-day hearing complained that they had been required to pay assessments to the local market administrator to maintain his office; that the amount of milk they could sell was dictated by him, and that if they exceeded it they had to contribute to an equalization pool; and that they were required to make out innumerable reports which interfered with pursuit of their business.
In answer to several inquiries which they have received, members of the international relations com-mitte said veserday that all women students are invited to attend he American-Japanese good will dinner which is being sponsored by the Trojan ‘Y’.

March 13.—<U.P) —Investigation of legalized horse racing in California, the results of which will be used as the basis of regulatory legislation, was assured tonight after Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon, Los Angeles, announced a meeting Friday of a special committee named by the legislature last year.

Young Announces New Test Flights
By United Press.
Col. Clarence M. Young, in charge of trans-Pacific flight tests for the Pan-American Airways, announced last night test flights would be under way “within the next six months.”
Young arrived yesterday from New York to take charge of operations of the big Sikorsky four-motored “Clipper No. 7,” sister ship to the "Brazilian Clipper.” which will make test flights along the Pacific coast.
Young told Mayor Frank L. Shaw the Pacific coast base for transpacific operations had not been selected. but probably would be Los Aiigeies or Alameda, Calif.
He said test flights would be held along the coast, and after trial operations. technical experts of the Pan-American company would select the best available landing base. Weather conditions surrounding the two possible sites will determine the selection, he said.
Pan-America's chartered ship, equiped at Seattle, will carry supplies for establishment of aviation bases at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Midway Island. Wake Island and Guam. Final choice of a <ar-East-em terminus has not been established.
