Minister to Discuss Present War, Church at Tuesday Luncheon
Speaking on the subject, The Part of the Church in the Present World Conflict,” Dr. Donald H. Tippett, minister of the First Methodist church, will address the Associated Graduate students at their luncheon meeting Tuesday noon in Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall.
Although the ministry is often moie sheltered than other fields, Dr. Tippett’s career has been far from inactive. Several years of his life were spent at the Church of All Nations in the worst section of New York city.	t
CAREER REVIEWED During his career in the pastorate, he became involved in troubles with the famous “Legs” Diamond gang. This affair was brought to a culmination when Dr. Tippett was beaten to a state of unconsciousness and left for dead on the sidewalks of the city. His face is still scarred from the effects of the mistreatment.
From the Church of All Nations Dr. Tippett was transferred to the Bexley Methodist church in Columbus, Ohio. After a brilliant career there he was called to Los Angeles, where he has been minister of the First Methodist church since October 20, 1940.
PROFESSIONAL LECTURER In spite of his many activities, Dr. Tippett has found time to establish a reputation for himself as a teacher, serving on the faculties of the University of Colorado, Western State college of Colorado, and Columbia university. In addition, he lectures professionally.
Tickets for the Tuesday luncheon may be secured from members of the graduate student council, and from the graduate office, 160 Administration. The price is 45 cents a plate.
Although 540 men will dance at the prom with ease and nonchalance, 60 will be thinking about a three-dollar bill for a borrowed tux and worrying whether the girl friend is getting lipstick on the lapels.
Yes, for some, prom time means race down to the tux shop the day before and stand in line for a super midnight - blue, double-breasted, free-alterations-while-you-wait tux.
Trojan men will take no fancy frills or folderol. They want the simple standard equipment and none other. Not a single white tie or tails was reported in a survey of the local shops.
Very conservative, the students stick to the tried and true double-breasted tux. Only four vests were ordered, and the weather was still too chilly for the swank white coats. Maroon ties challenge the traditional black and midnight-blue.
Friml Band to Play During Intermissions; ‘Modernnaires’ to Render Novelty Numbers
Tonight Trojan students will fprget studies and don formal dancing dresses and tuxedos for the annual Junior Prom in the Blue room of the Biltmore hotel. Glenn Miller and his orchestra will furnish music for dancing from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m.
In addition to Glenn MtTler, Rudolph Friml Jr. and his dance band will play during intermissions and act as relief band. Both Miller and Friml are noted for their “sweet swing” style of music.
Entertainers of Miller's band who will also appear during the evening, include Paula Kelly, feminine vocalist, and Ray Eberly, ballad tenor. A special attraction of the band is the “Modernnaires.'’ a singing combination of four men who will present novelty arrangements.
Trojan escorts will be spared the expense of providing corsages for their ladies during the evening.
Roosevelt Asks for Removal of Italian Aide
Naval Attache Lais Accused of Ordering Sabotage of Ships
U.S. Injunction Issued to Protect Ford Workmen
DETROIT, April 3—(U.P)—Federal Judge Arthur J. Tuttle tonight enjoined the Congress of Industrial Organizations and its international union, the United Automobile Workers, from interfering with workers wishing to return to their jobs in the strikebound River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor company.
Th? temporary injunction coincided with the raise of a back-to-work movement started by the American Federation of Labor, which claimed it represented a majority of workers at River Rouge and asked protection for those wanting to resume production at the huge factory.
The surprise move by the AFL was directed by Homer Martin, who as president of the UAW-CIO successfully directed the sitdown strikes against General Motors corporation in 1937 and now has close business relations with Ford officials.
The injunction was requested by the company, and was directed at the UAW, the CIO, and the communist party of the United States.
Hopkins Tells of Resources
Biology Society to Hear Forester
The pertinent problem of the the dictum.
WASHINGTON, April 3— <U.P>— The United States today demanded the immediate recall of Admiral Alberto Lais, Italian naval attache in Washington, charging in effect that he ordered the sabotage of Italian merchant ships subsequently seized by this government along with German and Danish vessels.
The action—first of its kind since the World war—was ordered by President Roosevelt and carried out by Secretary of State Cordell Hull. It was hinted obliquely that one or more German diplomats may face like action. Hull said he could not discuss that matter now.
LAIS UNWELCOME
Under the fixed rules of diplomatic protocol, Italy must accept
conservation of renewable natural resources will be the subject of Howard Hopkins, fifth district associate regional forester, at the meeting of Phi Sigma, honorary biological society, at 7:30 p.m. today in 302 Law.
Hopkins’ job is to correlate more than 30 activities, which include flood control, grazing lands, and a road program, beside the usual problem of fire prevention.
According to William Mendenhall, supervisor of the Angelus national forest, part of his findings make up the congressional report on conservation.
Hopkins will point out in his lecture the necessity of saving natural resources in the national defense program. He will stress the social problem of conservation in respect to present day conditions of waste and disaster.
At the end of his talk, there will be an open forum for questions from the audience. Anyone interested in the subject may attend the meeting. Admission is free.
All-U Show Cast Plans Rehearsals
The entire cast of the all-U show, “The American Way,” must appear for all rehearsals, including the ones scheduled Saturday from 9 to 12 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. ln Bovard auditorium, production officials announced last night.
Special scene rehearsals under the direction of Muriel Lindstrom and Harry Bennett are scheduled for 3:15 and 4 p.m. today.
Hull advised the Italian government that Lais was "persona non grata” because "facts and circumstances” connected the attache with illegal acts—the sabotage of 26 of the 28 Italian ships that were seized.
The captain of one of the seized Italian vessels told reporters Sunday that the sabotage was ordered by Lais.
SHIPS IN CUSTODY
Coast guardsmen who took protective custody of the ships reported that one of the two German vessels seized also had been sabotaged. None of the 39 Danish vessels taken over had been harmed
The government’s demand for the recall of Admiral Lais came amid rapidly deteriorating U. S.-Axis re lations and recurrent rumors that an out-and-out break in relations was imminent.
Page Noll, in charge of the ticket sales, reports that a limited number of bids are still available in the cashier’* office of the Student Union. Reservations may be made until noon today.
This rule was set by members of the junior council who banned corsages in an attempt to cut the expense of the prom.
Members of the prom committee have sent invitations to many faculty members to act as patrons and patronesses. Those who received bids include Mr. and Mrs. Willis O. Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Eddy. Mr. and Mrs. Clee Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Silke, Dr. Francis Bacon, counselor of men, and Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, counselor of women.
Clark Liddell and Dwight Hart, co-chairmen of the Junior Prom, have completed all last-minute arrangements and announce that everything is ready for the first dance at 9 p.m. Members of the Junior council assisted them tn planning the annual formal dance of the year.

Nationally known as a lecturer, author, and scientist, Dr. Rabi will discuss “Radio Frequency Spectra and the Magnetic Properties of Atomic Nuclei” at the dinner.
Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid will address the evening meeting which will be attended by faculty members from Sigma Xi chapters at UCLA and Cal Tech.
Biochemists Get Rockefeller Grant for Experiments
A grant of $6000 made by the Rockefeller foundation will make possible further research in the field of biochemistry at SC, according to an announcement made by Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid.
Dr. John W. Mehl, assistant professor of biochemistry in the School of Medicine, will head the research program. Dr. Mehl will conduct the experiments in the new laboratories of the Allan Hancock Foundation building.
Prof. Harry J. Deuel Jr., chairman of the biochemistry department, expressed the hope ttiat these studies will inaugurate a considerable development in the field of comparative biochemistry.
How to write original stories and adapt plays, novels, and short stories to the screen is the objec tive of a literary laboratory course devoted to individual and group projects.

SC pioneered in the adoption of screen courses and has developed a comprehensive study program for the 132 students enrolled in the cinematography department. A.B. and A.M. degrees are granted to its graduates.
Hungarian Premier Commits Suicide
BUDAPEST, April 3—d'.P)—Hungary Premier Count Paul Teleki ended his life with a revolver at dawn today because of the “international situation.” Rumors spread that German demands served on him by Adolf Hitler had driven him to suicide.

Botanists Search for Mushrooms
At SC is found a group of students which loves rain. Seeming at first a fifth-column to the chamber of commerce sent out to declaim the merits of rainy weather, these students at second glance prove to be a growing nemesis to the barrage of "Sunny California —it’s wonderful” propaganda emanating from the chamber of commerce bureau.
