CONTRASTS Contrasts between Jeffers and Whitman will be pointed out by Dr. Wann who will read typical poems of each showing the poets’ viewpoints on various aspects of life.
Following, he will give a sketch of Jeffer's life as a necessary background to a detailed examination of the man’s whole poetic output. Included in the sketch will be a report of poems written by Jeffers while a student at U.S.C. in 1905 and published in the University Courier, predecessor of the Daily Trojan.
The two types of poetry written by Jeffers, the long narrative and the brief poems, will be discussed by Dr. Wann who will show that the longer narrative works reveal Jeffer's distrust in man and civil-ziation. w'hile the shorter poems are assertions of the great beauty of the natural world. He has written 14 long poems and 15 short works.

Chautemps Will Try To Form Coalition Wilh Aid of Centrists
PARIS. Tuesday, Jan. 18—(U.P)— Camille Chautemps, attempting to form a “National Union” coalition government, ended conversations with political leaders early today and awaited a Socialist national council decision on whether to support him.
“Frank talks with Communists, socialists, and my Radical-Socialist colleagues encouraged me heartily and I have the firmest hopes of succeeding,” said the lawyer who at 52 has been premier three times and minister in eight other governments.
BLUM FAILS
President Lebrun turned again to Chautemps after two other leaders of the left—former Premier Leon Blum and George Bonnet—tried to form a cabinet.
Chautemps’ daring attempt to leap the boundaries of the People's front, move to the right, and seek key cabinet ministers among the Liberal Centrist parties has only one precedent in France’s stormy political history—when the late Raymond Poincare saved the franc with a Nationalist government 12 years ago.
But Poincare had no powerful left wing of Socialists and Communists to deal with, and Chautemps’ chances of success lay largely at the mercy of an all-night session of the Socialist National council.
SOCIALISTS DEBATE
The Socialists debated angrily — Chautemps was bitterly condemned for eliminating the Communists from the popular front majority— whether to join a cabinet of “National Union” and whether even to go so far as to support such a cabinet on a vote of confidence.
Chautemps’ invitation to the Socialists to join his “salvation” cabinet and stem a financial and social crisis was conditional upon a Socialist pledge that there would be no more “lightning resignations” such as provoked his government’s collapse at dawn Saturday. The nine Socialist cabinet ministers resigned en masse, in sympathy with the Communists who are embittered by Chautemps’ attitude in dealing wrtth labor.
As Chautemps awaited the outcome of the Socialist National council meeting the anger of the Communists rose steadily against him, especially among the strong labor unions.

A. E. Demaray, associate director of the national park service which, like the CCC, comes under interior department jurisdiction, was questioned sharply by Sen. Key Pittman, D., Nev., on why it took the park service more than three years to discover Stitley’s frauds.
He blamed the war department which is supposed to double-check CCC vouchers, but Pittman disputed this and hinted that new and more startling revelations concerning the dummy camp were yet to come.

Britain Rejects De Valera's Peace' Plans
LONDON, Jan. 17— (U.P)— Prime Minister Eamon de Valera’s Anglo-Irish “peace” negotiations faced collapse tonight, a few hours after their launching, when Great Britain flatly rejected demands for an all-Ireland state until consent of the six counties of Ulster has been obtained.
English Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it was learned, rejected the demand at the outset of consultations at No. 10 Dowming street where De Valera and the key ministers of “Eire,” the former Irish free state, met with British officials to seek a truce ending nearly six years of bitter feelings.
LISTENING HOUR
FEATURES
MODERNS
Compositions by Jean Sibelius and Ernesto Dohnanyi will be played at the Listening Hour concert tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Bovard auditorium. Although both of the composers are living, the music to be presented is classical in form.
The Suite for Orchestra composed of the andante with variations, scherzo, romanza, and rondo was written by Dohnanyi. Sibelius’ contribution to the weekly concert series will be his Symphony No. 1 in E minor made up of the andante leading to the allegro, andante, scherzo, and finale.
Dohnanyi, a Hungarian, and Sibelius, a Finn, both display a strong nationalist feeling in their musical work which, however, is based on the earlier classical forms of Bee thoven and Brahms. Although conforming to the pattern outwardly, the spirit of the compositions is highly individualistic.
we are heartened, moved, solaced by the strength, beauty, and mystical imagery of her verse,” Dr. Baxter says.	/
“In our day we meet again and again with novels in which the authors search for some new way of life, some ‘Shangri-La’ or some primitive South Sea isle in which men might breathe naturally and live to a less feverish rhythm than that of our contemporary world,” says Dr. Baxter.
“ ‘The Fountain,’ ‘Lost Horizon,’ •The Third Hour,’ even all the later work of Huxley, makes this search. It is generally a futile search for the way of escape they offer is too personal or too impractical for us to follow,” states Dr. Baxter.
Dr. Baxter will read some of the poetry of Emily Dickinson tomorrow during the assembly period. Emily Dickinson lived a secluded life in Amherst. Mass. Most of her poems were never published until after her death in 1890.
LETTERS ARE POPULAR
(An Editorial)
“Letters to the Editor” have suddenly increased in number by more than 100 per cent in the past week. The editorial board is delighted that its article appearing in last Tuesday morning’s Daily Trojan brought immediate response.
The questions which have poured into the editorial office about the column lead us to suppose that many, however, did not see last Tuesday’s editorial which stated the board’s policy on letters. We therefore reprint parts of it:
“The Daily Trojan will henceforth make an attempt to give a voice to the now silent majority. Toward this end the Letters To The Editor columns will be much expanded, and students, particularly those whose voices have not yet been heard in the controversy, are invited to discuss student problems.
“Doubtless it will be found that a large number of letters (those dealing with such subjects as university administration, teaching methods, and those dealing in personalities) may not justifiably be published individually. Letters on these subjects are nevertheless solicited; for a statement of student opinion in this field will be of immense value to student leaders and to the university administration. All such communications should -be signed by the students submitting them. The editorial board may then compile reliable statistical information on such questions; and the students’ names will be removed and held in confidence before any of the content* m* publicized.”
JAPAN PLANS NEW CONQUEST
SHANGHAI. Tuesday, Jan. 18— (LIP)—Japan is reshuffling her military and diplomatic establishment in China in preparation for an intensification of her conquest of this sprawling nation, the United Press learned today.
The moves include shifting of a number of front line commanders and appointment of a new ambassador who will be stationed in Shanghai succeeding Shigeru Kawagoe, who is being recalled.
Yosuke Matsuoka, president of the South Manuchuria Railway company, has been mentioned for the ambassadorship.
Matsuoka’s name merely has been mentioned as a candidate for the ambassadorship because of what the Japanese considered his success presenting their case when he was chief delegate to the League of Nations during the Manchurian conquest six years ago.

Mystery Plane Found Deserted
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Jan. 17 —(U.P)—Dewey Toms, customs patrol inspector in charge of the Corpus Christi office, left tonight to inspect a mysterious plane abandoned by two men last Wednesday on Matagorda island, in the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast.
United States customs officers had learned that the men left, carrying a brief case, after the plane arrived from the south, over the gulf. It was believed the plane had been forced down by an oil line leak.
A. P. Cummings, chief of the San Antonio customs division, communicated with Corpus Christi officials concerning the circumstances surrounding the abandonment.
