Johnson Will Open War on Duo of Critics
Aroused, General Prepares To Exterminate Two Political Termites
May 10 Chosen By Jones for Election Date
Petitions May Be Turned In April 8 for Class and A.S.U.S.C. Offices
WASHINGTON. March 12—
Gen. .Hugh S. Johnson will return to the wars sometime this week armed with adjectives to “exterminate this pair ol political termites”— Father Charles E. Coughlin and Sen. Huey P. Long.
ter party leaders had flung back the first, detenrined assault to “ear mark” the giant appropriation contrary to the wishes of President Roosevelt.
By a vote of 56 to 32 the senate first rejected an amendment by Sen. Edward P. Costigan. D.. Colo., which would have made mandatory the expenditure of some of the money for public works projects.
Long Amendment Loses
Then it voted 75 to 5 against an amendment by Sen. Huey P. Long. D.. La., to set aside $1,000,000,000 of the fund to provide a college education for 80.000 boys and girls who cannot afford one now. Those who voted Aye were Senators Lynn Frazier. R., Minn., Peter Norbeck, R„ S. D., Elmer Thomas. D.. Okla.. Thomas D. Schall, R., Minn., and Long.
It was the first time the upper house had an opportunity to vote on one of the main planks of Long's “share the wealth” program which they have been hearing so much about from Long and the folks back home and they leaped upon it gleefully.
Western Group Powerful
Immediately after these two votes, however, the powerful western group swung Into action. In short order they forced adoption of amendments which “ear marked” the measure for expenditures on rivers and harbors, water conservation, trans-mountain water division and irrigation and reclamation.
While the results of the voting

Students Asked To Submit Requests for Records;
Norton in Charge
Follow ing the lead set by Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi last semester, Sigma Nu fraternity has consented to turn over its house Friday evening for the first all-university open house dance of the spring semester.
The difference between digs and open houses is explained by the small admission charged at digs; whereas open houses are free to all university students.
In place of the usual campus orchestra, Boyd Williams’ recording machine will supply musical arrangements of the country’s leading dance orchestras, including Guy Lombardo, Ted Fio-Rito, Ray Noble, Fred Waring, George Olson, and Wayne King. The use of loudspeaker attachments will provide music throughout the entire house. Both the Phi Sigma Kappas and the Kappa Alphas used the recorder at , recent house dances, but it is being j tried for the first time Friday at j an all-U dance.
Since some of the guests at the j dance held last semester at the Sigma Chi house found card play-1 ing enjoyable, opportunity will again j be. provided Friday evening for i those who choose.

This is a big part of the answer to our present difficulties.” Discussing the question of distri-i bution as to need, the economist remarked that “giving in this way is nothing more than charity, no matter what it is called.

WESTWOOD. March 12—0J.P> — A proposed “pacifist strike” of students at the University of California at Los Angeles, as a protest against war, threatened tonight to turn the campus into a battleground of pacifists and anti-pacifists.
Leaders of a so-called “patriotic group” served notice on the pacifists they would stop the demonstration scheduled for April 12, “by force if 1 necessary.” The pacifist group j promptly announced it ^as ready to ! go ahead with the demonstration— “by force if necessary.”
Celeste Strack, western representative of a nation-wide student organization devoted to protests against war, said the pacifist leaders would meet tomorrow to map plans.
“The demonstration Is going to be
an active one,” she said. “We expect to hold a meeting on the campus. Our purpose is to bring the war issue to the attention of everybody.”
Fenton Eamshaw and Remington Olmstead, student leaders, said they would attend the prelimin ary meeting to try to persuade the pacifists to drop their plans .
Meanwhile, the “patriotic group” reportedly was recruiting football players to take part in their argument against the pacifists.
A roving squad of 100 athletes and student military cadets has been formed “to meet any emergency.”
Leaflets advocating the general strike, distributed on the campus, provoked criticism in the student newspaper, which termed leaders of the movement “trouble-making pacifist Ic pinkos.”

Hancock Expidition Finds Many Rare Sea Specimens
Rare sea specimens were brought back by the fourth Hancock expedition after a 92 days’ excursion and 12,000 miles cruising into Mexican and South American waters. Headed by Capt. G. Allan Hancock, patron of science. Dr. Waldo Schmitt, of the National museum in Washington, and John Garth and Fred Zlesenhenne, from Southern CaUfomia, were the scientists in the party. They left from the Los Angeles harbor November 23, 1934, and returned to the same port February 22 of this year.
The only one of it3 kind to be represented in the national museum, the expedition brought back a porpoise taken near the Sec as island of Panama. Similar to a small whale, it is a mammal eight feet long. Harpooning from a small boat, great difficulty was encountered in capturing it because if a porpoise is killed it sinks.
One dozen deadly polsooous va-
riety of rare sea snakes were also brought back by the expedition. They range from about a foot to three feet in length, the largest being about one-half inch in diameter. Striped yellow and green, their tails are flat for swimming. “They are most abundant in the waters off Costa Rica,” said Mr. Garth.
A study of the Humboldt current was one of the purposes of the three months’ scientific excursion. A cold current sweeping up the west coast of South America from Antarctica, penguins and fur seals were found to be the characteristic zoological representative existing near the current of which the penguins were brought here.
From the Galapagos islands marine invertebrates, such as star fishes, sea urchins, crabs, shells, and sponges crowd room 252 in Old College. They will be co displag tbere when arranged.
