Leftists, Garnerites Scored by Governor In Radio Appeal
SACRAMENTO, May 1 — (U.P.)—Governor Culbert Olson tonight urged California’s support of a third term for President Roosevelt at next Tuesday’s presidential primary election, and predicted the president would accept another nomination in response to popular demand.
Speaking over a state-wide radio network on behalf of the Roosevelt instructed delegation in the Democratic primary, the governor declared left wing elements headed by Lieut.-Gov. Ellis E. Patterson made a “great mistake” in forming an opposition slate.
DEMAND UPHELD Olson declared “in these critical times the people of the United States have sovereign right to demand Mr. Roosevelt’s continued service. and do not let anyone persuade you that the president will not' accept another nomination in response to that demand.”
The governor added “to change that leadership now could only produce greater doubts and uncertainty as to our future safety from war.” LEFT WING HIT Referring to the Patterson left wing ticket, the governor declared it’s inspiration “is so far to the left .is to run quite beyond the farthest left wing of the Democratic party.”
His comment on the fourth slate of delegate candidates, sponsored by the Ham and Eggs pension group.
Names of the newly elected officers of the YWCA will be announced for the first time tomorrow afternoon at the YWCA benefit fashion show at the Riviera Country club on Sunset boulevard.

BRITISH PRESS REPORTS NEW TROOPS IN NORWAY
LONDON. Thursday, May 2—(U.P.)—Landing of thousands of fresh British and French troops in the Namsos sector was indicated today in British press reports which suggested that an attack from the north on the Germans’ central Norway base of Trondheim might be imminent.

DANCING MOST POPULAR
The most popular part of the re-, creationals is dancing. It's the old- I fashioned polka, schottish. and reel dancing that requires energy and a j good wind. At least one coed came out of a square dance gasping, ‘ No wonder the frontiersmen were strong! They had to be to last through a dance!”
Tonight recreation-goprs will also be able to watch the women's swimming meet that goes on at the same time. The Newman club will be on hand in a body to watch the splashing battle of the mermaids for supremacy in form, speed swimming, and diving.

“Organic design takes in all the aspects of the project and makes it appear to be what it is. as against applied design which is added to the article afterwards in an attempt to disguise its use,” he said. The speaker cited use in the 19th century of Greek temple effects and tea roses as decorations on engines. Function in design implies making the finished article express its intended use.
“Some of the ideas are not new but were present in the pre-Ren-naissance and forgotten in the Renaissance and 19th century.” he continued.

The speaker showed that streamlining is an evidence of dishonesty in design when articles such as coffee pots were streamliner- instead of expressing their use. Some things not streamlined, although so called by the public, are honest. He demonstrated with a vacuum cleaner shaped to express its purpose and to fascilitate removal from the mold.
For the future he foresees the trend of design away from the dishonesty of the 19th century and

Today s Organ Program
Three Toccatas_______________________________ Bach
C major D minor Dorian
These three Toccatas (or “Touch” pieces) are taken from three of the major organ works of Bach, and as is usual in this type of composition, were written more for the sake of virtuosity, than for musical content. To be played tomorow at the request of some of the music students on the campus, they illustrate what llights of imagination, as well as of fingers, the Leipzic Cantor took when he was on his recital tours. The one in C major contains the famous pedal solo, the D minor has been made universally known of recent years by orchestral transcription, and the Dorian goes back to one of the old “Authentic Modes” of Gregorian times.
