Anti-Spy Drive Planned
Roosevelt Will Direct Most Intensive Alien Curb Since World War
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 — (U.RI— Plans for the most intensive drive against spies and alien propagandists since the world wrar are expected to begin taking shape tomorrow when President Roosevelt returns from Hyde Park.
At the same time the state department may disclose the names of scores of agents of foreign governments, foreign political parties and businesses who registered under the terms of a new law requiring them to dtscolse their affiliations, activities. and other data pertinent to thetr operations.
LAW IS EFFECTIVE The law, carrying stiff penalties for violation, became effective last Friday. Officials denied it was enacted as a counter-espionage weapon although they admitted lt would be Invaluable in assembling important alien data and curbing machinations of under-cover agents too late to affect the November | who. by failure to register, are outside the law

Reception To Be Held For Foreign Students
Over 200 students from 35 foreign countries will be guests at an informal reception Tuesday, October 11. at 1:30 p.m In the social lounge of the Student Union, announced Chairman Elmer Hyde. This reception is being sponsored by the International Relat. ns committee.
pension plans are the Townsend scheme, which proposes to pay up to $200 per month to persons over 60 years old, through a transactions tax, and the so-called $30-every-Thursday” plan for persons over $50, now a vital issue in the California elections. Espousal of the latter plan by Sheridan Downey aided him to defeat Sen. William G. McAdoo, ardent New Dealer, for the California Democratic senatorial nomination.
Doughton said that he would give every interested person "a fair hee.ring" before his committee. Set res of congressmen wish to be heard, he said, and many will offer their o.vr. bills on the subject. Among suggested changes are: Widening the old-age pension plan to Include 16.000.000 agricultural. domestic, and other workers hvdf PARK N Y Oct 9 —(U.E) was menaced so i snoi ai nun une not now included.

ROOSEVELT TO CONFER
Shortly after Mr. Roosevelt ar rives he is expected to confer with officials of the Justice, treasury, state, navy, and war departments on the best method of combating alien activities. He disclosed his concern over the situation for the first time Friday when he told news correspondents at Hyde Park that spying and propaganda were on the increase, especially the former which is reaching Into the multi-billion dollar national defense program.
He said he favored creation of a centralized anti-espionage agency which would take over and coordinate such functions now divided between the Justice, treasury, and state departments and the military establishments. He stressed that he ls worried about the ramifications of espionage.

Victory Team Will View GrandCanyon
Sophomores Entertain Squad at Banquet With Novel Program
By Ron Cooley Trojan Yell King
LA JUNTA. Col.. Oct. 9 — — University of Southern California’s football team arrives home tomorrow morning flying the victory banner after defeating Ohio State’s tough Buckeye eleven Saturday, 14-7. in Columbus The Trojan special wtll stop at the Grand Canyon this morning where the squad, coaches, and managers will visit the National park. They will not bring the train to the tracks on Exposition boulevard, It has been decided, but will wait until they return home from one of the northern victories. GREAT BALL PLACED The Trojans played great ball ln defeating the easterners and had several tough breaks in having two touchdowns called back on account of penalties. Nevertheless, they showed the fire, speed, and power of the great Trojan teams of yesterday.
There were no severe injuries in the tilt and everyone ls feeling in top shape. USC should be at full strength against Washington Slate this Saturday, barring any mishaps this week, and Mickey Anderson, who did not see action ln the Buck- ! eye game because of a leg injury, J will probably be ready to play- j against the Cougars.
The Trojans, arriving In Colum-1 bus Friday morning, were shown j around the town, and then visited Ohio State's campus before the afternoon workout ln Ohio stadium. Pictures of last year’s Ohio game were shown before dinner. A theater rally was held down town where USC rooters sang victory songs and responded to several yells.
OPEN HOUSE HELD After the game some of the state sororities held open house for the Southern California boys and the gang stayed there until the train left at 6:30.
A banquet was held on the train last night and all sophomore members of the grid squad had to entertain the rest of the team with a novelty program which was arranged by Capt. Don McNeil.
The Trojans really played a great game by holding the powerful Ohio team, showed great offensive play In their running, passing, and kicking, and would have run up a much larger score except for those two untimely penalties.

SC Returns After 14-7 Upset Over Strong Ohio Squad
By Herb Klein Troy's pigskin potentialities be-j came realities Saturday as the Trojan grid machine funttloned smoothly for the first time this season and rolled to a 14-7 win ovei the highly-favored Ohio 8tal» i Buckeyes.
! The decisive victory over th« liowerful Big Ten team re-estab-j lished the Southern Californians among the Pacific coast conference i favorites and once again placed | the Trojans ln the nation's gridiron spot-light.
While over 62.000 Columbus fans are still trying to recover from the shock of the Thundering Herd which upset their national championship hopes, the Southern Callf-orniuis are speeding homeward on the Trojan Special, laying plans ior their conference game Saturday in the coliseum with the thrice-beaten Washington State Cougars. The team will tour the Grand Canyon this afternoon, and is scheduled to arrive ln Los Angeles at 7:45 tomorrow morning.
The victory was -a personal tn-umph for Coach Howard Jones who had been criticized by many of the "experts” who foad asserted that the Trojans lacked both an adequate pass defense and a versatile attack. In winning Saturday U8C intercepted six passes and allowed the exponents of the Francis Schmidt razzle-dazzle to complete only nine out of 27 passes. On their offensive thrusts the Trojans successfully mixed laterals, reverses, and trick passes with,their power plays.
Granny Lansdell got the Trojans off to a good start when on the fifth play of the game he took Mike Kabealo's punt on his own 18-yard line and rambled 84 yards to a touchdown. On the first actual Trojan play from the line of scrimmage, Phil Caspar converted.

Radio Eye'
Is Successful
United Air Lines Makes Demonstration
NEWARK, Oct. 9 —(UPi—United Mr lines today demonstrated a "radio eye" to a plane-load of reporters as "the world's first successful altimeter showing height above ground instead ol sea level.”
The Instrument, called a "terrain clearance Indicator,” is expected to eliminate one of the main causes of air disasters—Inability of the pilot while flying "blind" to tell how far he may be abovt solid matter or water.
The flight today was a success. For 30 minutes the twin-engined Boeing roared over ma.shes, rivers, and skyscrapers In the New York metropolitan area and the new radio instrument bobbed up and down When the plane shot over George Washington bridge, which arches above the Hudson river, the "terrain clearance indicator" dropped like a flash from BOO (eel to 500. I’he regular baromeU'ic altimeter beside it, givUig height above sea-level, did not fluctuate
