Cast of Thirty Will Take Part; No Charge To Be Made Tomorrow
Depicting the tragic story of I lary Queen of Scots, Ada Gleason appears as the unfortunate Scotch ruler, in the Federal Theater’s attraction, “Mary Stuart,” to be presented in Bovard auditorium tonight at 8:15 under the sponsorship of the university faculty.
Many of the actors have appeared in previous performances of the Federal Theater on the campus. Among the other principals in the cast are: Ruth Leigher Barden as Queen Elizabeth, Louis Lytton as Lord Shrewsbury, Kingsley Benedict as Lord Burleigh, Peter Brocco as Sir Edward Mortimer, and Kenneth Patterson as Lord Leicester.
Matinee At 3:30 A special student matinee, without charge, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 and the final presentation will take place tomorrow night at 8:15.
“Mary Stuart,” written by Fried-erich Schiller, is directed by Jerome Coray, who is well known in the theatrical profession and was formerly associated with Gilmore Brown, head of the Pasadena Community playhouse.

The Federal Theater, a W.P.A. project for unemployed actors, has presented one play a month at Bovard during the past term and expects to continue through the summer months.

Ph.D. Degrees Will Be Conferred on 20
More than 20 graduates are candidates for the degree of doctor of philosophy this June and more than 200 are working toward their master’s degrees. Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, dean of the graduate school, announced yesterday.
The theses of these candidates have received careful consideration, and the schedule of dates for the final oral examination has been announced. These examinations, which are open to any faculty member who wishes to attend, are to be held in the president’s room before a committee of appointed professors who will judge the dissertations.
More candidates are working for a PhJD. in history than in any other department. There are also candidates for degrees in the departments of sociology .education, psychology. physics, philosophy, economics, English, French, and comparative literature. This year is the first time that any degrees will be conferred on students in geology and political science.
Practically all departments in the university now offer work for a degree. The graduate school is the only school in this area which gives work leading to a degree in doctor of philosophy.
Name Contest Will End Today
N.O.S.A. Board Will Judge Entries; Winner Will Receive Award
Just one more day is left for some student with originality to submit a name by which members of the Non-Organized Students association will be known on campus in the future, John Rose, chairman of the name committee, emphatically stated yesterday.
Rose declared that suggestions submitted after 5 o’clock this afternoon will not be considered, and urgted all contestants to have their entries in early. The entry blanks are to be dropped in the Daily Trojan “Common Heard” box next to the cashier’s desk in the Student Fountain.
For his efforts in submitting the name the winning contestant will receive a prize, which has been donated by the student bookstore,
I submit the following name for the members of the Non-Organized Students' association:
Name Submitted

Address
which is cooperating with the movement of the non-organized students.
Although the committee prefers to have a name of one word, a term of two words will be acceptable. The name entered should be a modification of the word Troy, or should be some term taken from the history of Troy, but it must be smy-bolic of the Trojan spirit.
The Non-Organized Students association has been given 234 Student Union as an office. Non-organized students desiring to become members of the association will be able to enter their names for membership beginning Monday in the office.
House Passes Administration Tax Proposals
Huge Majority Approves $803,000,000 Revenue Raising Measure
Roosevelt Suggestion Used
Senate Finance Committee To Call Morgenthau For Testimony
WASHINGTON, April 29—OLE)— The administration’s new $803,-000,000 revenue bill designed to equalize the federal tax burden and finance the New Deal farm and bonus programs was passed by the house today, 267 to 93.
The measure now goes to the senate where the powerful finance committee, which has been studying the 62,000 word document in secret sessions, will open public hearings tomorrow with Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., as the first witness. An attemot will be made to bring the bill up in the upper house next week.
G.O.P.’s Vote Yes The vote in the house was strictly along party lines. The roll call showed 82 Republicans and only 11 Democrats voted against the measure while four Republicans deserted the minority to cast their lot with the administration. The Republican deserters were Reps. Usher L. Burdick and William Lemke, of North Dakota; Vito Marcantonio, of New York, and Karl Stefan, of Nebraska.
Sixty-six members did not vote.
As finally approved by the house, the bill follows closely sugestions made by President Roosevelt in his message to congress on March 3 when he called for $620,000,000 in additional revenue annually for an indefinite period to meet farm and bonus expenditures and $517,000,000 to be raised over a period of three years to balance the ordinary federal budget.
Measure Provisions The measure calls for:
1.	A graduated tax on corporation income which, it is estimated, will force distribution of $3,360,000,-000 more in dividends and yield the government an additional $620,000,-000 annually.
2.	A “windfall” tax on unpaid or refunded processing taxes imposed under the invalidated AAA which is expected to yield $100,000,000.
3.	Continuation of the capital stocks and excess profits taxes for six months to yield $83,000,000 .
4.	A refund of $35,000,000 to processors who suffered financial losses under the old AAA.
Experts estimated the bill would bring in $345,000,000 less over a period of three years than the amount asked by Mr. Roosevelt. The house ways and means committee flatly rejected the president’s recommendations that a wide range of farm excise taxes be levied to obtain an additional $200,000,000.
