ALCOHOL USE IS DISCUSSED
Professor Conducts 'Liquor Use' Survey
Striking against the idea that the Ifieht against the use of alcoholic I beverages is a hopeless one. Prof. iLloyd Webster, instructor in health [education, yesterday presented re-Isults of his study to determine the jflttitudes of college students to-Iwards drinkmtr to members of the Joger Williams club, who gathered for luncheon in 322 Student Union 5’sterdav.
To obtain background for yesterday's discussion. Professor Webster conducted a survey of freshmen and sophomore men enrolled in health pducation classes, and found that the majority of anonymously answered statements revealed no particular scruples against drinking, with most of the majority indulging >c-asionally themselves.
In an attempt to establish a reader. for the widespread use of alcohol. Mr. Webster discovered that W>r ny people who overdo the practice are of the introvert type. “The Majority of persons in this classics tior." the educator said, "are either selfish or cannot meet or get •long with their fellow-men. and consequently turn to intoxication for relief.
A possible solution to the situ-ition would be the return to reli-lg;on of these abusers, who would |e" counter in thp philosophy of ■irist the principle of complete un-|f'ifishness which He set forth.” [This is the best weapon man could [have to combat alcoholLsm. and the lor® mo6t effective.”
As a result of Professor Webster's address. students in the Roger Willie ms club, which represents the Baptist church on the Trojan campus. Immediately commenced work to correct the drinking problem by appointing a committee to study con ©itions.
Capt, Sterling Livingston and Maurice Atkinson will team together and will be opposed by Nellie Clark and Dave Goldberg. This is the first debate for the number one Trojan team since its return from a nation-wide tour. Miss Clark and Goldberg placed high in a tournament aA Bakersfield in November.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 13 — ((IE)—Dust storms struck the entire western section of Oklahoma tonight, swirling in on a 25-mile-an-hour wind. The worst dusters were reported in the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle where another drouth threatens because of lack of snow and rain.
PARIS, Friday, Jan. 14—(UP)— The popular front government of Premier Camille Chautemps, buffeted by widespread labor disorders and collapse of the Franc, decided to resign today.
The collapse of the government came unexpectedly as the chamber of deputies met for what was expected would be a vote of confidence in the monetary, political and social policies of Chautemp's cabinet.
HEARS OF DISPUTE
Immediately upon hearing of Chautemp’s dispute with the communists Vice-Premier Leon Blum, a socialist, recommended that the socialist members of the cabinet resign.
Blum was called on the telephone at 3:45 a. m. by Minister of the Interior Marx Dormoy, also a socialist, and it was decided to held a meeting of socialist leaders and deputies immediately.
DECIDE TO RESIGN Socialists in the chamber of deputies refused to proceed With consideration of the confidence request and recessed to an adjoining salon where the socialist cabinet members decided to resign.
With the socialist members out of the government the entire cabinet met in a chamber salon and decided to present its collective resignation to President Albert LeBrun because of the urgency of the financial situation.
The cabinet arrived at Elysee palace at 5 a. m. and officially presented its resignation to the president.
CAUSES OVERTHROW
Overthrow’ of the seven-month old second popular front cabinet was brought about almost entirely by the bitter exchange between Chautemps and the communists rather than through parliamentary opposition to the measures of Finance Minister Georges Bonnet for financial recover^ based on monetary liberty.
The decision of the bloc of 148 socialist deputies to rally to the side of the communists in their dispute with the premier and abstain from voting confidence In the government forced the 14 socialist cabinet members to resign, leaving Chautemps only 10 other ministers and thus forcing the entire cabinet out.

EAST ST. LOUIS, 111.. Jan. 13 — (UJ?)—Federal Judge Fred L. Wham, in an unusual decision in which damages were awarded to capital and against labor, today ordered seven locals and 66 individual members of the Progressive Miners of America to pay $119,000 damages to a mine company.
The decision, the aftermath of bloody conflict between the P. M A. and its rival union, the United Mine Workers of America, was handed down in a case which involved a three-year shutdown of the Red Ray mine, near Duquoin 111., because of a jurisdictional dis pute between the two unions.
P. M. A. attorney George Dowell, of Duquoin, said his union would exert, every legal means to have the verdict set aside. He said it was “a direct blow at the right to strike, and affects every laboring man in the United States.”
In his decision, however. Judge Wham upheld the right to strike or quit work, even though it inflicts heavy damages upon the employer. But he said that unions and members of unions Who “during the progress of a strike” enter into a conspiracy to inflict heavy damages upon an employer or his business by unlawful means “are liable to respond for such loss or injuries so inflicted.”

Physics Head To Attend C.E. Conference
The incandescent-lamp department of the General Electric company has invited Dr. Arthur Nye, head of the physics department, to a conference on lighting at the company’s Nela park plant in Cleveland next summer.
Fifteen professors selected from physics departments of various universities have been singled out by the company to attend the meeting.

Dr. Nye was affiliated with General Electric several years ago when he worked on research in steam turbines at the Lynn, Mass., plant.
North Ireland Vote May Halt Unity Plan
BELFAST, Jan. 13—(r.E)— Lord Craigavon, prime minister of northern Ireland, today ordered a general election on February 9th to register defiance of Eamon De Valera’s demand for adsorption of Ulster’s six counties into “Eirie,” the former Irish Free State.
The surprise election call followed De Valera’s announcement in Dublin that the question of Eire’s separation from Northern Ireland would rank foremost when he and his key cabinet ministers go to London next Monday to confer with Prime Minister Neville Chamber-lain.
mate closing up of West 36th place from University avenue to Hoover boulevard, and the clearing of the south side of West 36th street from Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall to University avenue.
Already on stilts and ready for removal are the “shacks” opposite the College of Dentistry building. This operation will eliminate the last of the non-university structures on West 36th place and will allow the university to petition for closing of the street, although no official request has been made as yet.
STREET CLOSING
The closing of the thoroughfare will bring the university nearer to its ultimate objective which is the possession of a campus free from public traffic. Accomplishment of this aim will necessitate the closing up of all streets crossing the campus from east to west as well as University avenue.
Arrangements for the clearing of all buildings between the women's dormitory and University avenue have also been completed, the comptroller announced. The large four-family house is to be sold and removed immediately. The adjoin ing building will be demolish' within the next two weeks.
STORAGE AREA PLANNED This area, when vacated, will be used to store the building materialr for the new Allan Hancock research building. The old Hancock home at Wilshire boulevard and Vermont avenue is to be demolished. Brucr reported, and the entire structure will be transplanted brick by brick All the art treasures of the old home will also be brought to Troy.
Other buildings razed last year Were the “shacks” on University avenue. On this land, grass was grown and walks constructed. Another recent improvement was the transforming of the comer of 35th place and Hoover boulevard opposite Doheny into a small park with trees and shrubs.
The Ulster election, coming 20 days after dissolution of the present parliament, will determine whether predominantly protestant Northern Ireland will throw its lot with Catholic Eire or remain an intergral united of the United Kingdom.
Lord Craigavon, bitter foe of the American - bom De Valera, believes thunder: that the votes will demon:trate the northern counties’ rigid opposition to joining De Valera’s “All Ireland Union.”
De Valera desires to establish in his discussion with Chamberlain the right of Eire to seek the membership of Ulter.
