Whe«;ler Attacks War Involvement
Milwaukee, Wis.. April 22—<l\F>— Senator Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont.. charged tonight that the administration is attempting “to create an incident to excite the American people to war.”
Speaking before 6.500 persons at a rally of the America first committee. Wheeler said that "American involvement in war.” would come when the nation's ships are ordered into "aones of conflict.”
*‘I venture the prophecy that when our ships are sent through these zones, when American boys go to watery graves in the gulf of Aden, lt will be in the name of peace."
BACKGROUND TRACED
In his talk today the assistant director of the School of Music will trace the literary background of the oratorio, which is a poem set to music and describing the creation of the world. He will tell how the story ls a derivation from "Genesis” and “Paradise Lost.”
Dr. Krone explained that a chorus, singing in English, tells the main part of the story in recitative. In between the passages come arias sung by three soloists, he added.
For purposes of illustrating his talk. Dr. Krone will present four soloists from the School of Music. They will sing different selections from the oratorio.
The story of the “Creation" starts with chaos and describes the days thereafter.
CLIMAX COMES "On the sixth day comes the climax,” Dr. Krone pointed out, "when a beautiful duet is sung between Adam and Eve in praise of their Creator.”
The musical structure of Haydn’s oratorio is divided into four classifications; chaos, ln which the orchestra is used for descriptive purposes to intensify dramatic situations; the morning of the sixth day; the choral recitative; and the solo aria.
In composition, the “Creation” is simple, lyric, and melodic — typical of Haydn's style. DESCRIPTIVE PASSAGES It contains numerous descriptive passages. Especially noticeable are those telling of the creation of the animals — musical passages give hints of what is next to be created.
Haydn has been described as working with great ardor on this composition.
“Never was I so pious as when composing the Creation’,” he is quoted as having remarked. “I knelt down every day and prayed to God to strengthen me for my work.”

Students Quit Classes, Books for Field Day'
Recreation Program Planned for Event at Beach Friday
On Friday all Trojan students registered in the non-professional schools will desert classes and textbooks for a day at the beach in the second all-university Field day at Santa Monica from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Planned under the direction of Frank Swirles, president of the College of Commerce, and Phil Jones, president of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, the event will be an all-day party at the beach in front of the Deauville club of Santa Monica.
BEACH ROPED OFF
A wide section of the beach will be roped off for the exclusive use of Trojan students. Playground facilities for badminton, volleyball, and softball will be provided by members of the student committee planning the event.
All classes for non-professional students will be cancelled on Friday to allow Trojans to spend the day at the beach. For students who wish to study instead of play the university libraries will be open throughout the day, and administrative offices will operate as usual. Students may also arrange to have laboratories kept open if they consult their Instructors.
PRESIDENT SUPPORTS DAY
Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid has given his full support to this undergraduate field day, which is designed to replace the unorganized “ditch day" of previous years in which few students took part in a planned program.
Swirles and Jones have issued special invitations to faculty members to take part in the field day.
Last year, the event was unavoidably cancelled due to rain. With the weatherman forecasting fair and warm for the weekend, student chairmen are almost assured of ideal conditions.
‘Another Dunkerque' Reported Reenacted in War of Greece
BERLIN, April 23—(U.P.)— The tide of Germany’s 17-day-old Balkan blitzkrieg was reported to be “approaching Athens” early today as Nazi war dispatches told of terrific losses among British troops fleeing from Greece aboard troopships.
The drowning or killing of 30,-000 Brtish troops in the luftwaffe’s all-out bombing of the transports was reported abroad on the basis of Nazi radio broadcasts, but the propaganda ministry said early today that it had no record of such a report.
ABANDON GREECE
The British army, according to authorized German claims, has abandoned the war in Greece and is fleeing in “another shameful Dunkerque,” leaving the battered Greeks to fight alone only 90 miles from Athens.
Adolf Hitler’s official Nazi party organ, the Voelkischer Beobachter, in screaming headlines this morning told of “heavy losses among fleeing English!” and claimed that “the new Dunkerque is fully underway,” leaving the Greeks to cover the British retreat.
Berlin was confident that the axis conquest of Greece neared a climax and, with the Germans at historic Thermopylae pass, that official announcement of a Nazi march into Athens was not far off.
REPORT HEARD
Only unconditional Greek surrender can stave off the final crushing blow it was indicated.
The report heard abroad of 30,-000 British soldiers lost in the sinking of British troopships along the Greek coasts were not carried over the radio to the German people. The report possibly was broadcast in the foreign-language radio bulletins, although the propaganda ministry was unable to confirm it.
Meanwhile the western claw of the German sweep was said officially to have captured the town of Janina, and to have “entrapped” the bulk of the Greek main army fleeing southward from Albania.
Housemothers Attend Interfraternity Formal
Philosophy Fraternity to Sponsor Forum
The Argonaut chapter of Pi Epsilon Theta. philosophy fraternity, ls sponsoring a special forum meeting Tuesday at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall, Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
Dr. Harold R. Smart, professor of logic at Cornell university, will speak on the subject, “Some Problems in Contemporary Logic.” Professor Smart has written several books on the subject of logic.
For the first time in the history of the interfraternity formal, fraternity housemothers will be present to act as chaperones at the dinner-dance at the Cocoanut Grove in the Ambassador hotel tomorrow night from 9 p.m. to 1 ajn.
Mrs. Gladys Heberling, housemother of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity; Mrs. Cecile Owens. Sigma Nu; and Mrs. Angele Overton, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, will be guests of honor tomorrow night when fraternity men hold their annual formal affair.
Other chaperones include Mr. and Mrs. Clee W Foster; Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, counselor of women; and Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men.
Mrs. Heberimg was the first fraternity housemother on campus, being selected last year by members of the Pi Kappa Alpha house. The idea of a housemother to chaperone dances and supervise housekeeping proved so successful that Sigma Nu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon also chose housemothers.
“I'm delighted with the idea of attending the dance and I think
the idea of the three housemothers being present is one of the nicest gestures the boys could make,” concluded the young-looking housemother.
Mrs. Owens, Sigma Nu housemother, is planning to wear a blue lace formal to the dinner-dance, and is looking forward to it with excitement.
“I really don’t know much about interfraternity formals,” she explained in a shy voice with a southern accent. “However, I’ve enjoyed chaperoning our house dances, so I know I will have a good time tomorrow night at the Grove."
Black brocade with a silver bodice is the dress to be worn by Mrs. Overton, Sigma Alpha Epsilon housemother.
“I know I’ll enjoy the dinner-dance.” she said, “mainly because I always have a good time watching the young people dance. I used to do a lot of dancing myself when I was younger, and I still like to.
“I’m also glad the other housemothers are going to be there so w* can all sit together and watch the dancers.”
