Hitler Urged To Name Compromise Terms, Delay Spring Drive
ROME. March 18—(U.P.)— Premier Benito Mussolini urged Fuehrer Adolf Hitler at their Brenner Pass conference today to delay a threatened German “great offensive” and agree to concessions which might lead to a compromised peace, it was understood tonight by a high Vatican personage in close touch with diplomatic activity.
This source, ih close contact with events which have climaxed the fact finding tour of Europe by Sumner Welles. President Roosevelt’s envoy, said Germany had outlined an 11-point proposal for peace. Welles found its provisions inacceptable and they were scoffed at in Paris and London, the informant said. FEELERS’ EXTENDED It was understood the 1-1 German points, on which the Welles’ mission declined to comment, were not actual peace terms but more in the form of “feelers” which would be elaborated.
The German peace proposals said to have been given Welles were termed "far from satisfying the de-| sires of the Allies.”
The principal German terms purportedly were:

Pledges Plot Playful Pranks Promiscuously
Revolutionary forces struggled with agents of authority yesterday. The rebels were pledges— ditching. The victims were actives who had been giving orders up to this time.
On 28th street, hungry fraternity men are walking sullenly to and from campus because their cars sit in a dejected row, tires punctured.
The same men are hunching uncomfortably over the counters of local hamburger joints because the stoves in their houses are equally useless—the gas is disconnected. Moreover, essential parts of the stove are missing, the food is missing, and the grocery store was informed by the ditching pledges not to deliver any more food. And the pledges dined and danced at the Beverly-Wilshire last night.
Elsewhere on 28th street, departing pledges absconded with blankets and bedding, and leaving the house in the wee hours of the morning, set every active’s alarm clock at a different time. You can imagine the consternation. Oh, the brothers are angry.

EUROPEAN PIANIST PRESENTS BOHEMIAN MUSIC AT CONCERT
Dr. Henry Swoboda. European symphony conductor and former program director of the National Broadcasting station of Prague, stressed the strong national tendencies of Czechoslovakian music yesterday when he spoke at the School of Music.
WASHINGTON. March 18—(L’.P)— The senate today passed amendments to the Hatch “clean politics” act sharply restricting contributions to campaign war chests and banning political activities by more than 200.000 state and municipal workers paid from federal funds. The vote was 58 ■ to 28.
In addition to restricting campaign contributions the measure, as approved by ttic ociiate, «ould: Prohibit political coercion of state and municipal employees paid wholly or in part from federal funds. EMPLOYEES AFFECTED Ban the custom of many state and municipal officials of forcing employes to contribute to local political machines.
Subject state and municipal employees to the same rules against engaging in political activity as operate against federal workers classified under civil service.
Exempt from the prohibition on political activity all governors, lieutenant governors, mayors and heads of state executive departments, and incumbents in elected offices. VIOLATIONS PUNISHABLE Empower the government to withhold in federal-grant-in-aid funds to states twice the amount of the annual salary of a worker found-guilty of violating the act.
Allow state and county payrollers to run for political office if they take leaves of absence from their posts.
Continue to allow federal employees the right to express opinions on the qualifications of political candidates as well as on political subjects.
Forum To Stress
Democracy
Long Will Sketch Basic Principles Of Constitution
“The greatest need among democratic people today is that they, must become thoroughly conscious of the meaning of democracy.” Dr. Wilbur Harry Long will stress this point today when he addresses the weekly Philosophy forum on the topic, “Liberalism and Democracy” in Bowne hall at 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Long, in commenting upon his talk, said. “The greatest enemy of democracy is not the mouth-foaming disciple of foreign ‘isms’ but the pseudo-democrat who uses our American ideals and institutions as a lever to erect and establish partisan interests of pressure groups and racketeers.”
VISITS PEKING
Briefly summarzing his thought, Dr. Long points out that the basest enemy in an ethical democracy, with its ruling principle of the “team” spirit and common goal, is the predatory and heartless democracy which considers society merely as a thing to be exploited.

After giving a brief history of Czechoslovakian music. Dr. Swoboda played selections which demonstrated the characteristics of Bohemian composers.
Janacek and Martinu were represented by piano pieces which reflected French techniques. He showed. by recordings, that the Smetana violin and orchestra music were now typical of his country.
Dr. Swoboda played Weinberger’s symphonic variations on “Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree" and Suk’s “Sokol March,” pointing out the hu-
mor and fresh vitality of the compositions.
The listener and notices in these pieces such effects as five-four meters and ten-bar periods, which coupled with a nostalgic quality of melody in the quieter passages, gives the music quite a different effect than that usually heard in America today, according to Julia Howell, professor of harmony.

Alumni Review Tells Ski Boom
“The American ski boom is on.” writes Garland S. Matthews ’35, who is enthusiastic over southland ski prospects in the March Alumni Review, just off the press.
In "Skiing Goes Big Time,” an article lauding the newly popularized sport, Mr. Matthews emphasizes the opportunities of Los Angeles addicts.
“We have one of the finest skiing areas in the world just 92 miles east of Los Angeles . . . Mt| San Gorgonio,” he says. To assure approval of this area, he recounts a tale of Paul Bunyan, hyperbolic hero of American folklore, and his skiing experiences in this vicinity.
Newman Club To Hear Koeper

received his degree in 1916. He has served as a visiting professor at the University of Peking, the Boston university summer college, and at British Columbia university. PRINCIPLES SKETCHED In his address today, Dr. Long will sketch the basic principles upon which American democracy was founded. However, as he points out, 1 the founders of our American republic were so impressed by the arguments against democracy that they did everything to prevent it from becoming a democratic nation.-“The intent of the Constitutional assembly was to make the United State an aristocratic oligarchy — permanently ruled by the aristocracy,” he added.
CITIZENS HELPED Dr. Long believes that today America is broadly ruled by a spirit which he calls “Humanitarianism,” or the moving in a direction of a feeling common to the responsibilities of the people in general.
He also feels that the challenging arguments against democracy are. in truth, valid arguments only against pseudo-democrats. “Democracy remains the enduring ideal and goal for two reasons: because it is the only form of government in which man is materially man. and because in the long run, no other form of government protects and cherishes the interests of the people as does democracy.”

In tranquil ecstasy, Parisfal gazes at the forest and the fields, now glowing in the morning light, and over lulling harmonies, the oboe gives out the exquisite theme of Nature Redeemed. This marks the commencement of the inexpressibly lovely episode, known in the concert room as the Good Friday Magic, the day on which all creation rejoices in the Saviour’s sacrifice and love.
