Jews Riot In Protest To British
One Soldier Killed As Thousands Clash In Palestine Disorders
JERUSALEM, May 19—(U.P>— A British soldier was shot to death and at least 200 persons were injured in rioting which spread over the Holy Land early today with Increasing fury under the cry of "betrayal!” by Jews protesting against Great Britain's new plan for Palestine.
The worst disorders were in the crooked, cobblestone streets of Jerusalem and in the new, modernistic Jewish city of Tel-Aviv to the north. British tommies in full fighting kit manned barbed-wire barricades in the streets, bayonets glistening from their rifles.
In Jerusalem more than 150 persons, mostly Jews, were taken to hospi als during 24 hour&ef rifle fire, rioting, fasting, IncenSiarism, and bombings.
Reports from throughout the country indicated that the disorders were increasing rapidly as Jews by the tens of thousands unleashed their anger against the British government's plan to set up an independent state within 10 years under Arab-dominatlon.
The British government’s plan provides for an independent Palestine dominated by the Arabs after 10 years, \he complete stoppage of Jewish immigration after five years to make the Jews a one-to-three minority and severe restrictions of Jewish land purchases.
Formal Dance Will End Week Of Festivities
A formal dinner-dance at the | Beverly-Wilshire hotel will culminate activities of senior week for 1600 graduating students this year, Frank Gruys, president of the class of '39, reported yesterday.
The program for the week Will be comparatively limited, according to Gruys, to permit a larger interest ln the event which will see the last gathering of this class.
DANCE TO BE EMPHASIZED
“In other years this traditional week of celebration has been so packed with activities, that as a result, interest ln the dance was lost and it proved unsuccessful,” Gruys explained.
Efforts of the entire senior council are being directed towards making a success of the affair so that it will serve as a brilliant climax to the seniors' college careers, Gruys stated. Bids at $5 a couple will be offered for sale the first of next week at the cashier's window in the bookstore, Student Union. PLANS ANNOUNCED
Even without a full senior-week program, time will be at a premium ' for graduating Trojans since seniors will be called upon to partlci pate in various activities through-| out commencement week. Gruys j announced. Plans also include baccalaureate services at the coliseum on Sunday, June 4. Lloyd Pry will i supervise Ivy day ceremonies the following Wednesday, when outstanding seniors will be presented with awards. Seniors will appear ln caps and gowns at the event.
Immediately after these ceremonies Dr. and Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid will be hosts to graduates at their home. The senior play, ‘Tartuffe,” will honor graduates on Tuesday. The Pansy Ring breakfast for senior women and commencement ceremonies will be held on Saturday.
Tickets for the week's festivities may be purchased at fratemity and sorority houses and from senior council members next week, Grays said.
Dr, Carl D Anderson, professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology, last night described his recent scientific studies in the field of the cosmic ray before an estimated 75 students at the 12th annual banquet of the Associated Graduate students of the University of Southern California. . —--

Dr. von KleinSmid extended a word of greeting to the students.
OPERA STAR SINGS Mrs. Mario Chamlee, celebrated opera contralto, was present to sing for the graduate students. She sang "Believe Me Not," “The Answer,” and “Dreams.” She was accompanied by Morris Browda, Instructor in the S.C. School of Music.
A word of greeting was also extended by Dr. A, S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. Dr. B. A. Puller, professor of philosophy acted as toastmaster. |
Dr. Anderson demonstrated his address by slides ln which he pointed out the different ways ln which knowledge about the cosmic ray is obtained. He showed that through the studies of the last 40 years scientists have been able to discover that the farther we get from the earth the stronger the cosmic rays become. Dr. Anderson added that cosmic rays are the most penetrat-
slxteenth of an Inch, he stated. BALLOONS AID TESTS
One of the most recent methods of obtaining information about the cosmic ray ls the sending up of small balloons to an altitude of several mUes above the surface of the earth. The balloons are equipped with small radio transmitters weighing about two pounds which automatically send back the information desired.
Dr. Anderson was the 1936 winner of the Nobel prize ln physics. He received the award for his work on gamma and cosmic rays and photoelectrons.
He was recently presented membership ln both the National Academy of Science and the American Philosophical society, two of America's greatest honorary so-letles in research achievement.
He has also received the gold medal of the American Institute of the City of New York and the Elliott Crosson medal of the Franklin Institute.

British Pact Spurned By Russia
LONDON, May 18—<I’.P>—A British offer to enter into general staff consultations with the Soviet Red army tonight failed to break a deadlock over Russia's demand for a tri-power military alliance as the price of her adherence to the Anglo-French peace front.
Britain's latest compromise proposal, handed to Soviet Ambassador Ivan M. Maisky at the foreign office by permanent Foreign Secretary Sir Robert Van Sittart, failed to appease Moscow, which still ln-| slsts upon an outright military pact with Great Britain and Prance.
The latest British compromise proposals to the Soviets were understood to include:
1. Declarations by Britlan, Prance, and Russia of their determination to resist aggression and their intention of defending the independence of Poland and Rumania, which already hold Anglo-French military guarantees.
2, Trl-power “technical consultations” to decide how each of the three powers would contribute to ; the aid of Poland and Rumania. I

Marines Aid In Round Up Of Terrorists
SHANGHAI, Friday, May 19—(l'.P) —Police aided by United States marines and British Infantrymen today began a house-to-house search of the Anglo-American area of the International Settlement to round up suspected Chinese Nationalist terrorists.
All roads leading from the Anglo-American area Into the Japanese area, the Chinese city, and the French concession, were barricaded. The raids were designed to forestall a reported Japanese move to seize police control of th* entire settlement area.
Settlement authorities last week agreed to Japanese demands that the terrorists, who have assassinated more than 75 pro-Japanese Chinese leaders during the past year be ousted from the settlement and that complete neutrality be enforced ln the settlement henceforth. It was ln line with this promise that today's Intensive search was launched.
Hundreds of barricades were erected throughout the day to prevent the movement of automobiles In which suspects might attempt to I flee.

Dr. Stabler Relates S.C. Triumphs In 40 Years of Chemical Research
"Work ln labs—do research—then apply your engineering theories." Dr. Laird J. Stabler, dean of the College of Pharmacy, advises.
As guest speaker at the installation meeting of the S.C. Chemical Engineers' society, Dr. Stabler yesterday related his experiences in combining university chemical research with the practical problems of large southern California industries.
Formerly the head of the chemistry department, Dr. Stabler, who has been a member of the faculty since 1895, entitled his address “Reminiscences ln Chemistry During the Last 40 Years."
Dr. Stabler told of the pioneer work of the university’s chemical research department ln aiding ln th* production of olive ell, citrus
oils, natural gas. crude oil, and the cracking of gasoline. As a result of the help rendered by the S.C. engineers, many Industries ha\e donated large sums of money to be used as scholarships for students of chemistry and to maintain modern laboratories.
• A man is dead and buried when he doesn't keep up his references observed Dr. Stabler when he told how inexperienced but alert students solved problems on which professional engineers had failed. The speaker was referring to a recent invention by an S.C. student, which saved an asphalt company from failure.
"By simply observUig the teinpei -ature of the successful vats of solution, and comparing It with the heat of the bad asphalt we were able to standardise the manufac-
turing method," Dr. Stabler explained.
Principal discoveries, recalled by Dr Stabler in his review of the school's past, are those processes that contributed to making California the world's leading exporter of dried fruits and nuts.
The cooperation of student research and faculty supervision has resulted in the electrolltic method of bleaching walnuts with common salt and the development of a now-unlversal method of removing impurities and napthallne from natural gases
Dr, Stabler In his private refinery, was the first chemist to manufacture good oil from California crude oil—a process thought impossible by experts. Today this oU is thought to be one of the finest lubricant* ta th* world

To aid ln the appreciation of the film, Mrs. Carter will review Mark Twain's novel "Following Uie Equator—A Journey Around the World." This book describes the general setting of the island nation, and the details of a Pacific crossing. "Cobbers" by Tom Wood also depicts a journey to Australia.
"Robbery Under Arms” by T. A Browne throws a sociological light on the Australia of a few years back. Browne's novel deals with tiie tragedy of prison life and suggest* Un-national depression that a country would have if its major task was to harbor the criminals of Lh* world.

He showed that through the studies of the last 40 years scientists have been able to discover that the farther we get from the earth the stronger the cosmic rays become. Dr. Anderson added that cosmic rays are the most penetrat- slxteenth of an Inch, he stated. BALLOONS AID TESTS One of the most recent methods of obtaining information about the cosmic ray ls the sending up of small balloons to an altitude of several mUes above the surface of the earth. The balloons are equipped with small radio transmitters weighing about two pounds which automatically send back the information desired. Dr. Anderson was the 1936 winner of the Nobel prize ln physics. He received the award for his work on gamma and cosmic rays and photoelectrons. He was recently presented membership ln both the National Academy of Science and the American Philosophical society, two of America's greatest honorary so-letles in research achievement.

British Pact Spurned By Russia LONDON, May 18——A British offer to enter into general staff consultations with the Soviet Red army tonight failed to break a deadlock over Russia's demand for a tri-power military alliance as the price of her adherence to the Anglo-French peace front. Britain's latest compromise proposal, handed to Soviet Ambassador Ivan M. Maisky at the foreign office by permanent Foreign Secretary Sir Robert Van Sittart, failed to appease Moscow, which still ln- slsts upon an outright military pact with Great Britain and Prance. The latest British compromise proposals to the Soviets were understood to include: 1. Declarations by Britlan, Prance, and Russia of their determination to resist aggression and their intention of defending the independence of Poland and Rumania, which already hold Anglo-French military guarantees. 2, Trl-power “technical consultations” to decide how each of the three powers would contribute to ; the aid of Poland and Rumania.

Triumphs In 40 Years of Chemical Research "Work ln labs—do research—then apply your engineering theories." Dr. Laird J. Stabler, dean of the College of Pharmacy, advises. As guest speaker at the installation meeting of the S.C. Chemical Engineers' society, Dr. Stabler yesterday related his experiences in combining university chemical research with the practical problems of large southern California industries. Formerly the head of the chemistry department, Dr. Stabler, who has been a member of the faculty since 1895, entitled his address “Reminiscences ln Chemistry During the Last 40 Years." Dr. Stabler told of the pioneer work of the university’s chemical research department ln aiding ln th* production of olive ell, citrus oils, natural gas. crude oil, and the cracking of gasoline. As a result of the help rendered by the S.C. engineers, many Industries ha\e donated large sums of money to be used as scholarships for students of chemistry and to maintain modern laboratories. • A man is dead and buried when he doesn't keep up his references observed Dr. Stabler when he told how inexperienced but alert students solved problems on which professional engineers had failed. The speaker was referring to a recent invention by an S.C. student, which saved an asphalt company from failure. "By simply observUig the teinpei -ature of the successful vats of solution, and comparing It with the heat of the bad asphalt we were able to standardise the manufac- turing method" Dr. Stabler explained. Principal discoveries, recalled by Dr Stabler in his review of the school's past, are those processes that contributed to making California the world's leading exporter of dried fruits and nuts. The cooperation of student research and faculty supervision has resulted in the electrolltic method of bleaching walnuts with common salt and the development of a now-unlversal method of removing impurities and napthallne from natural gases Dr, Stabler In his private refinery, was the first chemist to manufacture good oil from California crude oil—a process thought impossible by experts.
