home front in his absence.
He asked, and the reichstag graated him by a ‘‘standing vote,'' the right to compel every German, regardless of rank, to “fulfill his duty,” and to imprison or “deprive of oifice or position’’ anyone who disobeys him.
PURGE LIKELY
He has been exercising those powers for eight years and the obvious conclusion was that someone he fears has challenged his authority. And the logical consequence would be that, with his authority confirmed. he would begin a purge.
There was some speculation on the possibility that a purge might already have occurred. It was recalled that on July 13, 1934. two weeks after he gave the Nazi party a blood b?th, Hitler went before the reichstag to have his authority confirmed. He had just exterminated 77 nazis, including 19 of high rank, on the grounds that they planned to kidnap him and set up a revolutionary government under Capt. Ernest Roehm, national storm troop commander.
Factory managers, civil servants, and judges apparently were marked for the fuehrers wrath this time, but the resolution read to the reichstag by Reichmarshal Herman Goering. and duly approved, authorized Hitler to command obedience and to inflict punishment on soldier or officer, low or high,” as well as all other Germans. OBVIOUS TROUBLE
Trouble somewhere was obvious. For the first time since his rise to power Hitler belabored the German people over the radio. He attacked officials and civil servants for wanting vacations at such a critical time. He denounced German judges for being lenient with criminals at a time when “thousands of brave Germans are giving their lives to protect their wives and children.’’ He threatened to oust judges who “fail to recognize the law of the hour.”
He vividly described the horrors he and the German army have undergone on the winter front in Russia, broadly hinted that the Russiar war may extend through another winter, and acknowledged that he had been forced to intervene in eastern front operations a few times when “nerves or lack of discipline failed or lack of a sense of duty in the fulfillment of certain ta.lcs became evidence.”
ANOTHER WINTER
While he held out to Germans the possibility of another winter’s campaigning in Russia Hitler made no reference to his own long-advertised spring offensive. He told, on the other hand, of vast hordes of Russians from central Asia and the Caucasus massing on the front and pressing the German lines throughout the winter, and he added: “I have done everything possible to avoid dangers and I will continue to do so in the future, and (Continued on Page Two)

Baxter to Read Dickinson Poetry
Emily Dickinson, the tragic enigma of American poetry, will be the subject of Dr. Frank C. Baxter's poetry* reading session today at 12:10 p.m. in the Doheny art and lecture room.
Blighted by a tragic love early in her life, Miss Dickinson spent most of her days shut off from the world in her New England home. There she wrote the great short lyrics that were later to be hailed as the finest of their kind yet produced in American literature.
Unknown during her lifetime, Miss Dickinson s works were discovered and published early the present century, many years after her death.
Indicative of the incisive, heart -eflt pathos of her verse is the famed “Parting.”
“My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see If immortality unveil A third event to me So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.”
Clark Urges Men to Adapt Programs
Reminding all men students that it is better to prepare now than to be faced with the dilemma of having to take an inferior position in military service in the future because of lack of required preparation, Registrar Theron Clark added his approval Friday to the SC scholarship committee’s
recommendation that men add ma-
Advisement Day Scheduled
Acquainting prospective students with the curricula and ramified functions of a college, the 14th annual Advisement day for junior college, preparatory, and high school students will be held next Friday on the SC campus.
Tlie program for the day will consist of special lectures, consultations with departmental and college heads, assemblies, and tours of the campus.
In the morning there will be two special assemblies for men and women to discuss non-curricular problems that may arise before the prospective college student. Miss Helen Hall Moreland, dean of women, will preside over the visiting women, while Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, will direct the other group.
Afternoon tours will include a familiarizing glance at the library, Allan Hancock Foundation building, arts and crafts displays, Student Union building, Elizabeth Holmes Fisher Gallery of Fine Arts, and many other points about the campus.
Also in the afternoon will be an open house of all the fraternities and sororities. The evening’s entertainment, "Stage Door,” university play, will be given in Bovard auditorium at 8:30 p.m.
New York School Lauds Accounting Department at SC
Graduate work of the College of Commerce’s accounting department last week received recognition from the University of the State of New York in a letter received by Prof. Frederick Woodbridge, head of the SC department.
The university, which exists only as an accrediting and examining organization, has already given high
thematics and physics to their present courses.
The committee's recommendation advocated that all men revise their present schedules to include certain amounts of the two subjects, as specified by the military services, in order to prepare themselves better for service with the armed forces.
PREPARE NOW
Emphasizing the need for preparation now, Mr. Clark urged the students to consider the addition of the subjects during the present mid-semester counseling period, which closes May 4. The period was set aside by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid to offer special counseling because of dificulties arising from the war.
“I am anxious to urge all men students to take, at the earliest possible opportunity, the mathematics and physics which are the necessary prerequisites for the naval V-l program,” the registrar said. POINTS OUT DANGER He advocated that men immediately consider the scholarship committee’s recommendation “in order that they may avoid the danger of being debarred from service in V-l at a later date on account of any shortage in these prerequisites.”
Mr. Clark pointed out that the added math and physics would also prove beneficial to men planning to enlist in the marines, coast guard, and air corps.
MAY DEFER SUBJECTS To include these special courses in their programs, men may have to defer their required subjects temporarily, Mr. Clark said. He reminded students that such a change would not be a waste of time, even if the student should decide not to enlist in the special service, because the credits would still count toward graduation.
Students are asked to meet now with their faculty advisers, who will I be the same ones who served at the j last registration, in order to plan ! their future programs In the light i of the war.
Judge to Address Prelegal Society
Sale Plan
Students Obliterate Drawing of Hirohito With Stamp Purchases
“Black out Hirohito,” is the war cry for the Victory hut as it goes into its second week with a goal set at $500, $100 more than last week’s intake.
A giant drawing of Hirohito will be hung behind the hut all during next week, and as every dollar’s worth of stamps is sold, a square will be blacked
out. When the $500 total is reached Hirohito's face will no longer peer at Trojans.
Ann Campbell, art student, is contributing the sketch of the emperor as her part of the Victory hut drive.
BUYS AMMUNITION
With every $5 worth sold, treasury officials say, a round of ammunition with which to flay the enemy can be purchased. Trojans who help black out Hirohito will be doing their part to insure victory.
‘ President Roosevelt, in a recent speech, said that there was to be no blackout of peace. By blacking out Hirohito, Trojans will be doing their part in preventing such a blackout of peace,” Dorothy La Follette, chairman of the Victory hut drive said.
ORGANIZATIONS AID
The Victory hut will be open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of every week and will be under the supervision of a different sorority every day. Professional and honorary groups will also be in charge at various times throughout the rest of the semester, as well as social groups.
Last week’s return of $400 was gratifying to committee members. With the added attractions of the dig and the Knight’s rally the hut was sent off to a flying start. Many Trojans began their stamp books, which, when full, may be turned in for a bond. One student added 20 stamps to her book at one time during last week’s sales.
“Trojans seem to feel the responsibilities imposed upon them by establishing the first university permanent house for the sale of war stamps,” Miss LaFollette commented. “We appreciate this feeling and hope that it may continue until the final victory is attained.”
‘One Man Army’ of First War Signs Up Again
PALL MALL, Tenn., Apr. 26— (U.R)—America’s number one hero of the first World war, Sgt. Alvin C. York, tomorrow will be registered under selective service act by the same person at the same table where he registered in 1917.
York, a green mountaineer then, fought against being drafted on the grounds that he was a conscientious objector. He subsequently changed his views and in the battle of the Argonne killed 20 Germans and captured 132 of the enemy in a feat pronounced by Marshall Foch the “greatest thing accomplished by any private soldier of all the armies of Europe.”
He is now a member of the local draft board here.

Roosevelt s Envoy Praised by Nehru
CALCUTTA, Apr. 25—(Delayed)— (U.P) — Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, left-wing leader of the all-India congress party, praised Colonel Louis Johnson, President Roosevelt’s personal envoy in India, today for his recent statements on the purpose of the United States technical mission sent here to spur war production.
He told reporters that they showed “sincerity and friendship with India.”
Nehru arrived here from Assam, near the Burmese border, where he visited camps of evacuees from Burma to investigate charges of discrimination against Indians.
“I am glad to read Johnson’s press and radio statements,” he said. ‘T am sure they will go a long way to assure Indian opinion, which naturally has been rather suspicious, especially since the recent comments in the American press.”
First of Five Evening Performances Opens in Bovard Auditorium
Starring Phyllis Perry as Terry Randall and Harry Woodle as David Kingsley, the all-university production of “Stage Door” will be presented in Bovard auditorium for five nights, beginning Thursday at 7:30.
Following out the little theater arrangement which has recently become so popular, Prof. William C. DeMille, director of Play Productions, has made Bovard auditorium over into a small playhouse with a seating capacity of 588. Dut to these limited accomodations, student activity books must be validated by the cashier for admittance. Persons not having activity books may buy tickets at the door for 40 cents. PLAYERS NAMED
Genevieve Duran will play Kaye Hamilton, the role portrayed, by Andrea Leeds in RKO’s movie version of the Edna Ferber-George S. Kaufmann hit. Bill Short is featured as Keith Burgess, the playwright, while Claire Laub plays the wise-cracking Judith Canfield.
The story of the residents of a theatrical boarding house, “Stage Door’’ is a true insight into the lives of the people who produce American entertainment. According to George Goldberg, student head of Play Productions, the play is “as compelling as it is laughable. as dramatic as it is comic.* REHEARSALS GOOD
Professor DeMille, Goldberg says, feels that rehearsals, which have been in progress for several weeks, exhibit an almost professional air.
Ticket sales have been brisk, and if any conclusion can be drawn, it is that the little theater will be packed to capacity on the night* of Apr. 30, May 1, 2, 4, and 5, according to Goldberg.
