Greeks, Jugoslavs, British Fight Nazis Along Frontier
ZURICH, April 6— (U.P.)— Jugoslav and Greek troops fought side by side with British tommies tonight to halt Germany’s war machine crashing across their frontiers.
Adolf Hitler’s vast Balkan army of 500,000 or more troops and fleets of terrifying dive-bombers, at dawn smashed simultaneously into Jugoslavia and Greece while Italy’s air force attacked southern Jugoslavia.
The Nazi radio boasted that daylong terial bombardment had left Belgrade “a sea of flames.’* BELGRADE RAIDED Belgrade with three daylight raids was treated to the same mercieless devastation which Warsaw and Rotterdam suffered.
The new Jugoslav anti-Axis government of Gen. Dusan T. Simo-| vitch was said by the German 1 radio have fled from Belgrade to a temporary capital in southern Serbia. There, behind the ragged Serbian mountains, the real test of the Nazi Reichswehr’s invasion is expected to come.

SC Debaters Meet TCU Squad Today
A touring team of Texas Christian university debaters, in the midst of a 4000-mile speaking tour, meets the Trojan combination of Gordon Wright and Edward McDonald today at 3:30 p.m. in Porter hall.
With the visitors upholding the affirmative, the opposing two-man teams will debate the proposition: Resolved, “that the nations of the western hemisphere should form a permanent union.”
TCU’s traveling squad is composed of four men, accompanied by their faculty sponsor, Dr. C. Allen True, and it is unknown which two will compete against the SC team.
One Texas team Is composed of Arthur Norred and W. R. Rucker, both juniors. Norred is president of Frog Forensic fraternity and is majoring in political science; Rucker 1s vice-president of the same organization and is a major in public speaking.
Ernest Finney, Junior, and Rufus Garret Jr., freshman, make up the second team. Both are majoring in political science.
Today’s contest will be one of Wright’s last as a Trojan debater, for he is a senior in his last year of eligibility. McDonald Is a junior with another year of competition before him.

“New Frontiers at SC,” a paper by Eduardo Romero.
Cal Tech students who will present reports are Donald Dawson and C. B. Stadum whose joint study deals with “Behavior of Insulators in Hydrogen at Several Atmospheres Pressure” and Robert Kingswill who will talk on “The Shielding Effect of Towers on Transmission Line Conditions.”
A prize of $15 will reward the student whose paper is Judged best.
Before the meeting the group will make a short tour of Hancock hall and at its conclusion the Engineering building will hold an open house after the meet where students have prepared special exhibits in the field of electrical engineering.
Turks Gather for Defense Against Nazis
Government to Make No Military Moves Unless Attacked
ISTANBUL, April 6 — (U.P) — Between 500,000 and 800.000 Turkish troops were massed in defensive positions along the Greek and Bulgarian frontiers tonight as authoritative sources said Turkey probably w6uid not make any military move unless she was attacked, despite the German invasion of Greece and Jugoslavia.
British diplomatic sources said Turkish neutrality was in accordance with the British desire to keep Turkey out of the conflict as long as possible.
The cabinet met for two and a half hours in Ankara during the afternoon to formulate its policy after Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu conferred with the British, Greek, and Jugoslav ambassadors.
Turkish and American travelers who arrived from Greece on one of the last trains expected for some time said they had to wait in Salonika for several davs because all trains were monopolized by British troops and material which was being landed from huge convoys and moved up to the Bulgarian, Jugoslav, and Albanian frontiers.

Lecturer Ends Forum Series
Philosophy School Head Closes Weekly Talks With Address on ‘Religion in Science’ Tomorrow
That “to the true scientist his work must take on a religious quality and value” is the thesis Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewell-ing will propound in the last philosophy forum lecture tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall.
In his address, “The scientific -- - ■ ■■ -
Latin-American Celebration Planned at SC
Quest for Reality,” Dr. Fiewelling, director of the School of Philosophy, will claim that “science has in many minds been erected into a ! sort of religion.”
QUALITIES SIMILAR
He will try to show that although j an “Age of Science” has supplanted ! the “Age of Religion” that doml- j nated thought before the 19th century, the qualities that make for real values in each are similar.
Dr. Fiewelling says the scientist in his pursuance of physical truths should have the same kind of disregard for the consequences to himself that the martyr-saint had in the earlier time when he pursued spiritual truths.
In this respect, he makes a case ill point of Louis Pasteur, the French bacteriologist, who fought poverty and disparagement by his associates during the better part of his life without being deterred from presenting the truth as he saw it, which Is now the way we see It. SUBJECT TO TEMPTATIONS
“A human being like the rest of us,” Dr. Fiewelling concludes, “the scientist Is subject to like temptations with other men—temptations to prostitute his powers to financial gain, to easy fame, to slip-shod thinking, to the misuse of his discoveries for the destruction of men and values.
“These are the main reasons why to the true scientist his work must take on religious quality and value.”
U.S. Offers Aid to Jugoslavia
WASHINGTON, April 8—(UJ!)— The United States tonight denounced Germany’s “barbaric” invasion of Jugoslavia as another chapter in Nazi plans for world conquest and pledged speedy war aid to the Balkan state.
Condemnation of Germany’s latest war move came from Secretary of State Cordell Hull with the approval of President Roosevelt. Hull previously had reviewed the situation with his top-ranking aides.
“The barbaric invasion of Jugoslavia and the attempt to annihilate that country by bruce ofrce is but another chapter in the present planned movement of attempted world conquest and domination,” Hull said in a statement.
“Another small nation has been assaulted by the forces of aggression and is further proof that there are no geographical limitations or bounds of any kind to their movement for world conquest.
“The American people have the greatest sympathy for the nation which has been thus outrageously attacked and we follow closely the valiant struggle the Jugoslav people are making to protect their homes and preserve their liberty.
“This government with its policy of helping those who are defending themselves against would-be conquerors is now proceeding as speedily as possible to send military and other supplies to Jugoslavia.”
Construction of Capture Pool Forseen at SC After Rainfall
—Courtesy L. A. Times
ORCHID GIRL—Evelyn Angle, Pi Beta Phi, will represent SC at Los Angeles’ first Easter promenade next Sunday. Titled "The Orchid Girl," Miss Angle will proffer this rare flower to those persons viewing the Easter event.
If unusual California weather conditions prevail another fortnight, emergency supervisors will have to concentrate national defense measures on local flood control.
In view of rainfall records to date, SC engineers have temporarily disbanded ideas about a new swimming pool and are directing their efforts toward the construction of a capture pool in front of Doheny library.
The steady drizzle that began early last Friday morning, continuing throughout the day, culminated in a downpour at 4 p.m., necessitating protective measures..
To the dismay of local traffic
regulators, a disgusted driver threw caution to the winds, squinted his eyes, and to the accompni-ment of air horns sped up the brick wall to the fish pond in front of the library. As if premeditated, three women ran from the building, down the steps, and into the automobile before the Good Humor man could phone the police—his very best customers.
Their successful escape may portend of an era of abandon. It may mean most anything to the psychologist, and it may never happen again. But the thing to note is how utterly indifferent to social practice persons are apt to become under the stress of continued rain.
