Poets To
Receive Criticism
No Outbreaks Reported as Schools Demonstrate Against Warfare
By United Press.
Colleges and high schools throughout southern California yesterday celebrated peace demonstrations in orderly organized fashion, with no instances of outbreaks reported.
At Los Angeles Junior college, scene of a small riot last year. 1000 students heard Edwin Alexander, district organizer of the Student Union, and Edward Chester, student at the college, share speaking duties at a gathering sanctioned by Director Rose C. Ingalls and the administration.
Approximately 300 students left classes at University of California at Los Angeles to attend a demonstration scheduled off the campus. Various student leaders, including Tom Lambert, Assoicated Student president, and Gil Harrison, editor of the Daily Bruin, speak against war.
A student dressed In a reserve officers training corp uniform took to a soap box to criticize students for not acquiescing to administration wishes by remaining in classes until the scheduled meeting at 10 a. m. when Dr. Andre Lobanov-Rostovsky and three students spoke to the college.
At Occidental college students attended an authorized meeting on the campus.
WASHINGTON, April 22.— President Roosevelt’s personal, secret correspondence—a letter he initialed “FDR” in lead pencil and sent to Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes almost two years ago—today became the focal point of utility attacks against the New Deal’s $200,000,000 municipal power program.
The private companies, with the government fighting every step, sought to force publication of the chief executive’s note as part of their district supreme fcourt request to have that part of the administration’s work-relief program declared unconstitutional.
Case Limited Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat ruled against them, however, on their first attempt to force federal attorneys to turn over the letter— a vital victory for the government in defending its right to lend and grant money to municipalities for public-owned power plants.
The Judge’s ruling was significant. It limited the utilities’ case as presented by two former high federal officials, to validity of the congressional act creating the public works administration.
“Unfair” To Companies Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, and Ean Acheson, resigned assistant secretary of the treasury, charged that four private utilities "face unfair and illegal competition” from PWA allocations to 10 municipalities they serve. The firms are the Alabama Power company, the Iowa City. Ia., Light and Power company, the Oklahoma Utilities company and the Texas Utilities company. They banded together under the Edison institute for the action.
Baker and Acheson started a four-hour legal dogfight when they considered private bills too high.
“The president’s letter is not ad-missable evidence.” Frank declared. “Neither is Ickes.’ They are inner-administration correspondence that should not be made public.”
Stricken seriously ill with a heart attack last Sunday, John A. Smallman, director of the S. C. men and women’s glee clubs and the S. C. A Capella choir, was not expected to live by attending physicians until yesterday when it was announced that he had an excellent chance for recovery.
Eight weeks of complete rest is* the prescription which doctors have given Smallman for his thorough recovery.
The voice director’s Illness came as a double blow to him according to his secretary, because on the April 29 he was scheduled to accompany his group on a tour through the southern counties of California, stopping over at San Diego to make an appearance at the exposition. Due to the impossibility of the director making the trip, Walter Slite, talented student directpr of the chorus will act in his place.
Before coming to S.C. in 1935,
Smallman had conducted many voice groups, including the Cecilian singers, and the Los Angeles Oratorio society. At the present time he directs the First Congregational church choir of 125 voices, and the Los Angeles woman school teachers’ chorus.
All friends of Mr. Smallman have been relieved to hear that his recovery is assured. He has just re

Six Knights To Be Chosen; 54 Petition Group
"Only one of out of every nine applications will stand a chance.” stated Hal Newell, president of the Trojan Knights, yesterday, as he announced that no less than 54 applications have been turned in by ambitious men, seeking membership in the service organization.
Reason for the dearth of vacancies, Newell says, can be attributed to the fact that few of the members are graduating, plus the fact that two new honoraries will be chosen.
Newell urges everyone petitioning
for Knights to be present for interviews at 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, in 305 Hoose hall.
“There will be thirty new squires for next year and their names will be positively announced at the Knight-Blue Key Panic Parade to be held at Whitings ranch, next Saturday night,” declared Newell.
Trojan Knights and Squires are the two principal service organizations for men on the campus, the former upperclass and latter sophomore. Membership is decided on the basis of activities and service to the university. A committee of members will interview candidates on Friday.
