The council will be headed by-Prince Mohammed Ali. the king’s third cousin. One of King Faud’s last official acts was to appoint Prince Mohammed to that position.
Ninth King
King Faud, ninth sovereign of the present Egyptian dynasty, died at 1 pjn. while reading a telegram from his son and successor.
The dead monarch will be buried Thursday amid the greatest display of pageantry in the history of modem Egypt.
Despite his faults, particularly his reluctance to subordinate his own powers to those of the constitution, King Faud was loved by his subjects.
Calm Reception
News of his death was received calmly. Flags were lowered to half-staff, blinds w'ere drawn in public buidings and the usual hustle and bustle of Cairo was enveloped in quietness.
Hundreds of students—many of whom participated in recent bloody riots which weighed heavily on King Faud and probably helped cause his death—paraded quietly through winding streets, chanting praises of the late sovereign and acclaiming his son and successor.
King Faud had been in poor health for more than two years.
Becomes Critical
Last Friday his condition became critical. His illness was diagnosed as stomatitis <mouth disease) of a necrotic character. He had a serious hemorrhage Friday night. He was too weak to be given a blood transfusion.
He lapsed into coma yesterday and doctors abandoned hope. However, during the night the king rallied and showed “signs of recovery,” according to a doctor’s bulletin, issued this morning.
They were fortified by beef stew, pie and coffee as they settled down awaiting return of bona fide legislators tomorrow, with the admittedly futile hope of immediate, permanent relief-financing action by the lawmakers.
A few hours earlier, a joint conference of legislative leaders, hopeless of agreement upon nw forms of taxation to finance relief, decided to place the w'hole problem before a caucus of all Republican legislators tomorrow. Senate President John C. Barbour said that a perfunctory session of the legislature would be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow,
the caucus on various tax proposals would begin. He said he “hoped” new tax laws could be passed before th# primary election on May 19.
He added that the general plan proposed by Sen. Charles E. Loiz-eaux to return relief to municipalities “seemed to obtain a favorable recation” at today’s conference. The present crisis was precipitated early this month when the senate, out of money, turned relief over to the municipalities.
Doleful times from a harmonica sounded through the assembly chamber as the squatters “dug in.” After a set-back last night, when the legislature convened for a few minutes but failed to take up relief, the demonstrators seemed discouraged and content to “sit it out.”
‘Inside Picture’ Is Painted
Old Age Pension Secretary Is Called Collector of Too Many Funds
By United Press.
A former counsel for the Townsend old age pension lobby yesterday painted for the benefit of a road-show hearing of a congressional investigating committee, a purported “inside picture” of a high-pressure campaign designed to collect $1,500,000 from old men and women to finance a lobby that cost $2,404.

PHILADELPHIA. April 28— (HE) —President Franklin D. Roosevelt met his first formal opposition today for the Democratic presidential nomination when Pennsylvania primary voters chose between the chief executive and Col. Henry Brecken-ridge of New York, a severe New’ Deal critic.
The test was not expected to be conclusive, however, as Brecken-ridge made no campaign. His vote W’as expected to be negligible. Roosevelt was assured of the solid vote of the Pennsylvania delegation to the nominating convention. Most interest was in .the number of preference ballots cast for the president. Approximately 1,600.000 Pennsylvanians registered as Democrats for today's election.
Each party, in addition to electing delegates to the national conventions, nominated candidates for two state fiscal offices and for 34 congressional seats.
Voting was extremely light, except in a few scattered localities. It was indicated that less than hall of the state’s 4.500.000 registered voters bothered to visit the polls.
Dearth of important state offices to be filled and the lack of controversial issues was blamed for the apathy of the electorate.

Incident Is Told
He told of an incident at Colorado Springs, Colo., at which a Mrs. William Marshall, Townsend plan organizer, said:
“We must do something—if we don’t, what will these old people think?”
Clements replied, according to Moore: “We don’t give a damn about the old people.”
He said Mrs. Marshall burst into tears and wept on Dr. Townsend's shoulder.
On another occasion, Moore said, Dr. Townsend opened a letter containing a $5 bill, contributed to the Townsend fund, smiled, put the bill in his pocket, remarking: “Well, that old sister is certainly doing her part.”

Film Writers Hit Studios
* * + -* **** **** Agitation Is for ‘Closed Shop’
“The machine has brought in the Aguish and the unemployed to rot
no-hour day,” charged H. Jeffery Smith, philosophy instructor, in a paper which he presented before the philosophy forum yesterday at 4:15 pjn. in Bowrae hall, Mudd Memorial building. Smith’s subject was “New Aspects of Economic Philosophy.”
Smith explained that the economic problems of today rest on the basic fact of technological employment, and that when all else has failed to the solving of our economic problems men will resort to using intelligence and they will cultivate a human woild of culture on the foundation of mechanical slaves.
“Until they do that,” Smith said, “tbe	wiU continue to lan-
for want of consumers Smith explained that in this sense the machine creates a positive economic demand for the development of a life of culture.
“To those of you who would use force,” advised the speaker, “rather than ideas to bring about economic evolution, I would say, be patient in your impatience, for your impatience must last as long as you have life.
“Cultivate your gardens as Voltaire advised,” said Smith, “but have the seeds of tomorrow in your hands, not a golf stick.”
A large forum audience, consisting of many of the general public as well as S.C. students heard Smith s lecture.
By United Press.
Film writers, warring with major studios over demand for a “closed shop” for writers in the motion picture industry, last night charged studios had “deliberately misrepresented issues” in a statement issued Sunday by 11 producers.
Robert N. Lee, secretary of the screen writers guild, said the present crisis is a “culmination of a three-year fight” to establish labor union bargaining powers with studios.
He charged producers were attempting to intimidate writers to prevent consolidation of the guild with the authors’ league and the dramatists’ guild into a single body.
The guild will vote Saturday on the proposal to amalgamate the j three units. Lee charged producers with: •
Depriving writers of screen credit for stories, and permitting other writers to “mangle and damage” stories for which the original writer is given credit,
Refusal to permit writers to end contracts, although producers have the right to terminate a writer’s employment at any time.
Blacklisting writers who protest against unfair treatment.
Establishment of “gentlemen's agreements” between producers not to bid for services of a wrriter, in an effort to limit the sai^ry demands.
“The statement that only a few writers are responsible for the guild movement is silly,” Lee said. “There are 957 writers represented in our branch of the writing profession.
“Producers have reached the same point publishers reached years ago. when they tried to prevent formation of the authors’ league, and the same point stage producers reached when they tried to block formation of actor’s equity.
“We are fighting for decent treatment in the motion picture industry, and are now in a position to demand
of induction.
Luncheon will be served at 12:30 o’clock, with all pledges who have payed their initiation fee and ’^ho intend to become active members of the Trojan honorary fraternity, required to be present. Immediately following, the traditional ceremony will be held, with Bracht officiating.
That actives who plan to be pre-i sent at Saturday’s formal dinner | dance, to be held at the Hollywood j Country club honoring the new * members of Sigma Sigma must pay j their $2:50 reservation fee immediately to the comptroller’s officc. was also emphasized by Bracht.
“It is not necessary for actives to attend this affair.” said Bracht, “but the fee must be paid before hand if reservations are to be made.”
‘Mary Stuart’ To Be Produced
Continuing the popular series of campus classics introduced at Bovard auditorium at S.C., Freider-ich Schiller's historical drama, “Mary Stuart,” will be staged here Thursday and Friday.
