Two years ago the show was put on as an experiment with the hope of raising funds to send the track team east. Last year, the show went on, met with success, and the money was put in a fund to aid needy athletes. This year all revenue collected will go into the fund to aid needy Trojan athletes. it was stated.

CHANCE IN SOCIAL SECURITY LAWS SEEN
NEW ORLEANS, May 2—(U.P.)--Indications that th« federal government ls planning some change in the social security laws were seen tonight as a result of lengthy conferences between President Roosevelt and Qov. Richard Leche.
Some observers believed Mr.
Roosevelt advised Lech to delay calling the Louisiana le' islature into special session. Th -• first laws Leche had enacted called for state cooperation with federal security acts. The governor indicated recently he would call a special session early this month to replace the two per cent “luxury” lax with a general two per cent sales tax to m"”' the needs of the Jobless.
Leche entertained the president before the start of Mr. Roosevelts fishing trip, and there was a revival of reports that the governor might be appointed to the federal bench.
Mayor Robert 8. Maestri of New
post himself.
Lieut. Gov. Earl Long, brother of the late Sen. Huey Long, was absent from the celebrations held here during Mr. Roosevelt's visit, and any realignment of offices ln Louisiana would have to take him into consideration. Should Leche go to the federal bench and Maestri to the governorship, lt ls possible that Long would be appointed to the U. S. senate in event one of Louisiana's senators resigned.
When Leche is asked about the possibility of his being appointed to the federal bench, he replies that he Is busy with the problems of the governorship.
Maestri is considered Louisiana's wealthiest man, and he has been a power in state politics ever since be supported Hoajr Lous.
