Prompted by years of travel in the Near East and extensive research in European and Asiatic universities. Dr. Hossain recently published his findings in the following books: “Democracy in Islam.” “Ghandi. Saint and Statesman,” and "Echoes From Old Mecca.”
Mohammedanism, commanding the allegiance of more than one-fifth of the human race, closely resembles Christianity since both are “militant missionary faiths,” points out Dr. Hossain. CRUSADES RESPONSIBLE
“Because of this rivalry and memories of the crusades there has been much misunderstanding between the followers of the cross and the crescent,” continued the lecturer.
Modem scholarship, emancipating itself from clerical and theological bias, is doing a great deal to put both the historical and spiritual relationships between Islam and Christendom in true focus. RACES INTERDEPENDENT
Interdependence of races and cultural exchange betwen naions is bringing about another bond of solidarity between the Orient and the western world. An example of how intimately Moslems influenced western life is seen in the daily American and European usage of hundreds of words which are derived from hte Arabic, Hossain points out.
Those words, lifted almost without alteration from the Arabic language, are alcohol, amber, atlas, algebra, azure, camphor, candy, carat, coffee, crimson, cumin, divan, jar, lemon, and many others. GOODS INTRODUCED
Actual material goods *uch as sugar, coffee, oranges, lemons, candy, and even asparagus were introduced into Europe by Moslems.
Hossain received his early education, at the University of Calcutta and the Moslem university of Aligarh. Later he studied law at the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn in London, and did research work at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Addlitional research was completed at Bonn and Heidelberg and the University of Munster in Westphalia. Dr. Hossain received the honorary degree of doctor of letters from the Andhra Research university for cultural services to the Orient.

Webster To Be Lecture Topic
Tanquary To Speak In Doheny Library
The fiery enthusiasm of Daniel Webster and the golden age of oratory will be characterized by Dr. Grafton P. Tanquary, associate professor of speech, when he speaks at the regular Wednesday lecture series tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. in Doheny Memorial library.
His topic is “The American Public Address, 1787-1860.”
“Oratory of this period was especially typified by the work of Daniel Webster, who perhaps reached the height of commemorative oratory in the United States,” the professor asserted.
“His eulogy of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (both of whom died July 4, 1826) on August 2, 1826, was the greatest of all.
“It was incredible that such a great number of speeches could be presented to such large audiences during the period when it is realized that there were no radios or Improved means of transportation,” Dr. Tanquary emphasized.
“John Gough, for instance, lectured on an average of 300 times a year and made 300 lectures in all to an estimated 9.000.000 people during a ten year period (1842-52.” he adds.
Featured sub-topics of the lecture will include references to the American lvceum, assembly attending habits of the people, the influence of newspapers, American religious background, the influence of women speakers, and Boston and New England society centers.
Supreme Court Refuses AMA Case Review
Anti-Trust Charge On Medical Group Dropped by Tribunal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. (I'.P)— The supreme court today refused to review a lower court decision invalidating indictments charging the American Medical association and several affiliated organizations with violating the Sherman antitrust act.
The tribunal's action technically was a refusal to review a decision of the District of Columbia federal court which held that the AMA and its co-defendants were not engaged in “trade” and hence not subject to the anti-trust statutes.

tional issue is presented.
No decision was handed down by the supreme court, because the government's appeal came to it merely as a certiorari petition.
Specifically, the AMA was accused of conspiring to hinder operation of the Group Health association, incorporated, a District of Columbia health cooperative which promises complete health protection for low income families, principally those of government workers. Subscribing families paid a flat monthly fee for the service. AMA POLICIES TOLD
The AMA. the government charged, for years “consistently pursued a policy of active opposition to the formation and operation” of GHA and similar organizations.
The government further alleged that the AMA, which carries on its membership rolls most of the practicing physicians in the United States, used its prestige to threaten its members with expulsion for consulting or working with the GHA. Washington hospitals, it was alleged, were told by the AMA to bar GHA physicians from practicing under their roofs.

We Cot Our Flag, But Who Dun It?
The Trojan war flag has been returned—but who dun it?
That point remained unsettled today after a series of mysteri-out developments concerning the banner. Yesterday the flag wa.s reported to have been returned to the cashier’s window in the Student Union bookstore, with a note addressed to Kenny Seiling, Trojan yell leader.
The note pointed out that the flag was taken by the “Boys from Berkeley,” and that it was an outside job from the roof which could easily be done again unless it was carefully guarded at all times when flying.
The flag was handed over to Bill Flood, president of the Trojan Knights, to be guarded until the Cal game Saturday.
The writer further asserted that plans have been sent to “the boys” at Berkeley showing how it may be re-taken. The note warned that the attempt may occur early this week.
The Daily Trojan revealed yesterday that the flag was at Berkeley and that students of the University of California had been proudly displaying it for a week on the campus.
The “Trojan” who wrote the note concluded that the return was not a gag, a publicity stunt, or a plot to stir up feeling for the Cal game.

Headed by Ed Jones, the revising committee is made up of Lynn Moody, Claude Ross, and Cleve Hermann. They will attempt to simplify the wording, clear up definitions, and revise other controversial points. These suggestions will then be submitted to the student senate for a vote.
Revisions will pertain principally to the executive section of the constitution. Anyone wishing to express ideas on the subject may attend the meeting. Jones said.

Today s Organ Program
Prof, Archibald Sessions, university organist, has chosen the following selections for his recital at 12 M in Bovard auditorium today.
Nocturne fram the "Midsummer
Night's Dream’’ ........Mendelssohn
The “M i d s u m m e r Night’s Dream” was completed when Mendelssohn was seventeen years old, during the time he was taking daily piano lessons with Mo-schells, and was being admitted to the society of such men as Spohr. Hummel, Kalkbrenner. Rossini, Meyerbeer, and the leading men in the world of musical art. Later he was to revive the love for. and the practice of the works of Bach, by his superlative production in Berlin of the St. Matthew Passion, and to add infinitely to the ilterature of the Organ, by his six Sonatas for that instrument.
Persian Suite .................... Stoughton
The Courts of Jamshyd The Garden of Iram Saki
Roy S. Stoughton of Worcester, Mass., received all of his musical training in his native state, but most of his compositions have been inspired by Oriental literature. Nowhere is his melodic picturization more brilliant than in the Persian Suite, based on the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam.
