Glenn Mill er—to play for the junior prom.
Miller Provides Sweet Swing for SC Dancers
Sell-Out Predicted for Junior Class Prom at Biltmore Tomorrow
Glenn Miller’s orchestra, one of the nation’s top dance bands, will play for Trojan dancers tomororw night at the junior prom in the Blue room of the Biltmore hotel from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Smokey Martin, president of the junior class, predicts a complete sell-out by this afternoon.
Students who have not yet obtained dance bids may still purchase them for $3.85 at the cashier’s window in the Student Union bookstore. A few have been picked up from the fraternities and placed on sale.
‘SWEET SWING’
Noted for his "sweet swing,” Miller will present his entire band of 17 pieces in the Blue room. Paula Kelly, feminine vocalist, and Ray Eberly will sing rh3Tthmic selections. “Modemnaires,” a singing combination of four men, will present novelty arrangements.
Miller bases his style on the music of four saxophones and a clarinet. He features the trombone and plays his own instrument as he leads the band. His is the only orchestra to have the brass section in the front row with the woodwinds behind them.
LAST APPEARANCE
His appearance at the prom to-tomorrow night will be his last until he opens at the Palladium in May. At present he is making a picture titled “Sun Valley,” starring Sonja Henie, skating actress.
Miller organized his band three years ago and has since then played at many night spots in New York, including the Pennsylvania hote*. He is now presenting three programs a week over the radio for the Chesterfield company.
The dance fans’ most popular orchestra leader made his start in musical circles 15 years ago in Venice playing with Benny Pollock’s orchestra.
Miller’s big step to fame was taken when he signed with Ray Noble, English band master, as arranger and trombone player. His version of "Butterfly,” »later “Moonlight Serenade”) caught public fa-for and he soon started a band of his own.

‘Terroristic Picketing’ Causes Officials to Demand Regulation
DETROIT, April 2—(U.P.)— The Ford motor company appealed directly to President Roosevelt tonight to help end “terroristic mass picketing” so the company can resume “full participation in the national defense program.”
Harry H. Bennet, personnel director, telegraphed Mr. Roosevelt that' more than 200 employes had been injured in picket line battling and that “agitators schooled in communistic tactics of mass action” have been imported from Ohio and Indiana to lead the strike which tied up the Ford River Rouge plant for the first time in its history. MEDIATION ATTEMPTED At the same time Gov. Murray Van Wagoner and Federal Labor Conciliator James F. Dewey sought an end to the strike by mediation and Van Wagoner announced progress in that direction.
The governor announced that the following basis for peace talks had been reached:
The company and the CIO United Automobile Workers agreed to cooperate with state police in maintaining order during mediation. State police took over policing of the embattled area. Company officials pledged that no attempt would be made to reopen the plant during mediation.
DEWEY CALLED ‘ Our next objective.” the governor said, “is to start mediation at once.”
Dewey, the labor department’s ace trouble shooter in the motor industry, arrived by aiplane tonight and immediately went into conference with the governor. It was believed he would coordinate his efforts with those of the governor's special mediation board.
Conditions at the River Rouge plant — world's largest industrial unit—improved meanwhile. Workers who had been in the plant all day began leaving in groups of 30 and 40 escorted by union pickets who still carried clubs. The workers had been assured through the governor’s agreement with the the company and union that they could leave safely. About 5000 persons, including 3000 production workers remained in the plant during the dayt

Astronomer Condemns Lack of Knowledge
“Common notions about astronomy are so hazy that most laymen picture all space as being filled with air. They cannot imagine the vacuum that really exists in outer space.” says Dr. C. H. Cleminshaw, SC professor of astronomy.
“Popular misconceptions about astronomy are frequent enough, but persons have no conception of it at all.” Dr. Cleminshaw has concluded on the basis of his experience with the general public as lecturer at Griffith observatory.
The purpose of th? observatory is twofold, according to Dr. Cleminshaw. In addition to furnishing the public with demonstrations of the elementary facts concerning astronomy, soch an institution specializes in conveying the latest discoveries of research observatories.
Mr. Wilson observatory houses the largest telescope now in use anywhere in the world, the 100-inch telescope.
Still awaiting completion at Mt. Palomar, the 200-inch telescope at the new California observatory will not be ready for use for approximately a year and a half. The delicate work of polishing the telescope's huge mirror is all that stands in the way now. Dr. Cleminshaw explained.
Many visitors to Griffith observatory do not even* realize that there are galaxies. Dr. Cleminshaw has found. They also often confuse stars with planets, unaware of the fact .that a star is a molten body like the sun, giving out its own light, and a planet is a cooled-off body that revolves about a star.
History Professor Discusses War
“The War from the Historian's Point of View” will be the topic of Dr. Francis J. Bowman’s lecture at a meeting of the International Relations club today at 12 M.
Members of the club will meet for luncheon in the dining room of Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall.
Dr. Bowman, who is an assistant professor of history, has observed European affairs first hand, having been for many years an editor on the continent, during which time he travelled extensively in the Balkan countries. His ability to converse in 13 languages enabled him to make many unusual contacts ' and to interview prominent figures in those countries where he worked.

Baptists to Hear Padelford Today
Members of the Roger Williams club for Baptist students will meet at a luncheon today to hear Dr. Frank W. Padelford, executive secretary of the board of education of the Northern Baptist convention, speak on “Religion and Education.” The meeting will be in 322 Student Union.
In his capacity as executive secretary, Dr. Padelford is responsible for all colleges, schools, and student workers of the Baptist church in the United States
The well-dressed Republican senator from North Dakota voiced the opinion that some college students do not deserve to continue their education since they have no real reason for being in school.
MEN INTERESTED’
“I realize that university men are vitally interested in the draft,” he asserted, “and I firmly believe that' the ones who do have a serious purpose should be allowed to finish, j
Senator Nye explained that he thought there was a “general” de- j sire among university students to ; complete their education.
“What can college men do to make their feelings known and felt I on the ma.ter,” a reporter queried. SINCERE LETTER
“Each man should write a sin- ! cere, intelligent letter to his con- j gressional representative.” the sen- ' ator replied. ' He should explain how much it means to get that additional year or two of schooling.’’
Referring to a recent proposal that the age limit be set at 18 to 23 and that men be allflwed to select the particular year, between those ages, when they wish to serve, Senator Nye averred that “an optional training program is a good thing for college men—let them volunteer for it if they wish.”
He declared that universities should be allowed to institute a voluntar. form of military train-

“A mighty, rolling voice of protest” by the people against any further involvement ln j the European war is the best chance the United States has of avoiding war. Senator Gerald P. Nye told an overflow audience in Porter hall yesterday. ,
A Progressive-Republican from North Dakota, the senator said ln his address on “How Shall We Prevent Further Involvement in European Wars?” that he was convinced that 90 per cent of the American people do not want war, but that we are witnessing the “same old march today that we witnessed back there in 1915, 1916, and 1917." ‘SUPREMELY FOOLED’
“We’ve witnessed that step by step process by forces obviously intent on getting us into war,” he said. “We are being supremely fooled by the same instrument that fooled us before: propaganda.”
He said this propaganda is exploiting four fears of hatreds:
(1)	“Our future and immediate independence depends on the British navy.’’
He denied this, claiming that on the other hand, the British navy is the only one we have ever had to fear.
(2)	“When Hitler accomplishes his subjugation of Europe, were next.”
MILITARY TESTIMONY
He answered with the testimony of military experts, who say that a successful invasion of the western hemisphere is impossible.
(3)	“Economic competition by a victorious Hitler would take our foreign trade from us.”
He replied that “only 3 per cent of our business is traceable to foreign trade,” that it was not reasonable to think Hitler could dominate the whole economic world, and that in reality our only severe competitor is Great Britain.
(4)	“We traditionally hate aggressors.”
He said. “We've got to lend a hand in stopping aggressors, and so we lend a hand to Great Britain. whose titanic empire is built on three centuries of aggression."
He described the steps by which (Continued on Page Four)
